Thalassa stared at the man in front of her. She was surprised but not shocked, because she knew he was coming.

Having known him for more than two years even before they got married, she knew how impulsive he could get. That was why she told her security guards not to stop him if he sneaked into the house. She just hadn’t expected him to do it so soon.

“Welcome, Kris. I have been expecting you,” she said calmly.

He let out a laugh that had no warmth whatsoever. “Is that the excuse you’re going to use now that I’ve caught you?”

“Now that you’ve caught me?” She rolled her eyes. “Oh please, don’t be such a drama queen. It doesn’t suit you.”

Kris’s eyes blazed as he stared at her. Three years. He finally had her in front of him again after three years. He’d spent so many restless nights thinking about her, wondering where the hell she was, hating himself for it.

Yet, now that she was in front of him, he felt a conflicting ball of emotions.

    A few minutes after Kris had left, while Thalassa was sitting on her bed taking deep breaths to calm her racing heart, Luisa rushed into the room with a worried look on her face.“Lassa, I just saw Kris being escorted out by the guard. What happened? What was he doing here?”“He sneaked into the house to verify his suspicions,” Thalassa answered.Luisa’s eyes widened. “So now he knows it’s you?” Thalassa nodded, and Luisa asked, “How did he react?”Thalassa shrugged. “As expected, he was furious.”Luisa’s eyes darkened. “Don’t tell me he tried to hurt you. Did he dare to touch you?”“No, Luisa,” Thalassa clarified, but a wry smile stretched across her lips.Yes, Kris hadn’t touched her or hurt her physically, but that hadn’t stopped him from doing everything he could to hurt her with his words. But the funny thing was that she had expected it.“How do you feel now that he has found out?” Luisa asked.“Nothing.”It was true. After her confrontation with Kris, all she felt was numb. She

    “What?! What are you saying?!" Susan exclaimed. “You mean your ex-wife, Thalassa?”“Which other Thalassa do we all know?" Kris gritted out.“But... how can that lowlife woman be the owner of the biggest fashion business in Baltimore?” his aunt said until she saw the dark look on his mother's face. “I mean second best.”“Wait, my crush is that bitch?" Tyler fumed.“Now it all makes sense," his mother said, anger visible on her face. “That's why everything started going downhill for my fashion house when that stupid TT Fashion appeared. She was behind it all. She clearly wants revenge on me for how I exposed her and got her arrested.”His mother sounded like she was hyperventilating, so Kris immediately went closer to her. “Mum, calm down.”“No! How can I calm down? Didn't you see how I debased myself by going to ask for her help? I allowed that stupid woman to humiliate me.”Karen was the only one who hadn't spoken because she felt dumbstruck. If Thalassa had truly come back just to ge

    Linda Miller was so shocked by the slap that she could only hold her burning cheek and stare at Thalassa in disbelief. During the time Thalassa had been her daughter-in-law, she had never dared to talk back to her or retaliate in any way, let alone slap her.“You! How dare you lay a hand on me, you imbecile!” Linda raged.“No. How dare YOU raise your hand at me!” Thalassa sneered back. “Do you think I’m still that naive, stupid woman who allowed you and everyone else to walk over her? Think again! Don’t throw hands if you don’t want hands, because if you throw hands, you’ll get hands. Is that clear?”“How dare you speak to my mother like that, you lowlife whore?! And how dare you lay your hands on her?!” Susan fumed as she charged towards Thalassa, but before she could do anything, Thalassa landed a hot slap on her cheek.Susan flew back, stumbling into her mother and aunt, causing all three of them to fall on the floor in a tangle of limbs.“Oh, children,” Thalassa sighed like a disa

    Later that day, Thalassa was in her office reviewing some designs when she heard muffled bickering outside her door.“I told you, you can’t just go in,” her secretary Juana said.“Get out of my way.”Thalassa sighed, wondering who she would have to deal with now. Just then, the door burst open, and Karen stormed in.“Thalassa, I’m so sorry. I tried to stop—” Juana began to explain in a panic, but Thalassa calmed her down.“It’s okay, Juana. Leave us alone.”Juana nodded and walked out, not without glaring at Karen, who looked unapologetic.Once the door closed, Thalassa turned to Karen with a smile. “I was wondering when you were going to come to see me. I’m surprised you didn’t come with your accomplice.”Karen stared back at her. “You fooled us so well.”“Fooled you well?” Thalassa tsked. “I don’t think so. After all, your dear husband recognized me. That’s why he sneaked into my room last night to seek me out.”She smirked, enjoying how Karen’s face flashed with anger before she co

    Karen took advantage of Thalassa's distraction to free herself and run into Kris's arms.“Kris... sweetheart, please help me. She wants to kill me. She wants to kill me. Just look... look what she has done to me," Karen cried, pointing at her face where Thalassa's slap had left it as red as a beetroot.Kris was stunned at what he was seeing on Karen's face. The slap marks were so brutal that he couldn't believe Thalassa had done something like this. He'd never known her to be a violent person. How could she have changed so much?“What has gotten into you? How dare you treat Karen like this?!” he sneered.“Don't speak to her like that," Zeke demanded as he appeared behind Kris and walked to stand beside Thalassa.Instinctively, he cradled Thalassa's cheek in his hands as he asked, “Are you okay?"Thalassa stiffened at the unexpected touch, but she didn't pull away as she nodded.Kris instantly recognized the man. It was Zeke Mathews, the man Thalassa had gotten involved with just a few

    Thalassa felt tears burning her eyes, but she refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry. “Are you done?”“You aren't even going to deny it, so it's true?" A bitter smile stretched across his lips as he pointed a finger at Zeke. “You moved in with this man just a few days after our divorce. For someone who was so desperate for me to take you back, you sure didn't waste any time jumping onto your next prey."Zeke realized what Kris was driving at and stepped in to try and clarify. “Thalassa is not the woman you think she is. Things didn't happen the way-”“Zeke," Thalassa raised her hand to cut him off. “I don't owe this man any explanation."Kris's gaze hardened. “If you think you don't owe me any explanation, then you also have no right to come after my family with your bogus accusations."Thalassa sucked in a breath. “It was your child too."“My child? How do I know that?" Kris demanded. “Even if you were truly pregnant, how can I be sure that the child was mine when you

    Luisa’s smile wiped off when she turned to the spot and realized that the camera wasn’t there. “Where is it? Or have you already gotten rid of it like you said?”“Yes. This morning,” Thalassa said regretfully.She’d known that her enemies could hack into the camera and use it to spy on her and her plans. That was why she’d decided to get rid of it.“I’m such a fucking idiot,” she cursed as she slammed her hand onto her desk.Now she wished she hadn’t taken out the camera. It would’ve been the perfect evidence to put Karen and Linda behind bars.“Don’t call yourself that. You couldn’t have known what would happen,” Luisa said.“Besides, that footage would’ve also served as evidence of how much you beat her up in case she decides to report you for assault, and that wouldn’t be good,” Zeke added, trying to pacify her.Luisa was suddenly worried. “Lassa, what if that bitch decides to report you?”༺❀༻༺❀༻༺❀༻Karen claimed to still feel dizzy so she couldn’t use her car.

    “Goodness gracious, Karen! What happened to your face?” Aunt Cynthia exclaimed as soon as Karen walked into the house.“Don’t tell me it was that stupid bitch,” Tyler hissed, his face contorting in anger.“She gave you your share too?” Susan said.Karen didn’t respond as she made her way to sit on one of the couches, but they all knew the answer to Tyler’s question.“The marks on your face look horrible,” Cynthia commented, her voice filled with disgust.Karen glared at her. “Why, thanks for making me feel so good about myself.” She looked at Susan. “What do you mean by my share?”Susan turned her head to show Karen the mark on her cheek from Thalassa’s ferocious slap. Then she pointed at her mother’s cheek.Karen’s eyes widened, not believing that Thalassa had laid a hand on Linda. “Where did she get so much boldness from?”“We need to do something to put her in her place,” Aunt Cynthia said.“But what?” Karen whined bitterly. “I wanted to press charges against her, but Kris told me

    Tessa stood frozen for several seconds before her hands flew to her mouth in shock. “Oh my God…” she whispered. She didn't even have to ask if he was sure because she could tell he was. Guilt clawed at her chest. Alex had told her before how most of the women who came onto him were only after his wealth which was also part of the reason he'd always been so careful about dating. And now it seemed he had been proven right. Tessa felt like it was her fault because she was the one who had set Alex on that blind date with Hillary. “Alex,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry. I had no idea she was that kind of woman.” He shook his head. “It’s okay,” he said, his voice calmer, his expression blank. “You were just trying to look out for me. But don’t do it again, Tessa.” There was no anger in his tone toward her, but she could sense the bitterness. Tessa swallowed hard, guilt still pressing down on her. She watched as Alex turned toward one of the cabinets, moving like he already knew exactl

    After breakfast, the whole family moved to the shores to enjoy the beach. the whole family moved to the beach where a variety of games and fun had been set up.Tessa took a deep breath, feeling at peace.But peace never really lasted long when when her mischievous twins were around.The four-year-olds were balls of energy, running up and down the sandy shore, splashing water at people, and playfully disturbing anyone who looked too relaxed.“Girls!” Tessa called after them as they ran past, giggling. “Don’t bother grandpa Zeke!”Too late.Zeke had been lying on a lounger, sunglasses on, probably dozing off, until a handful of sand landed on his chest.His head snapped up. “Hey!”The twins burst into laughter and ran away before he could catch them.Gendry, sitting next to Tessa, shook his head. “Your daughters indeed.”Tessa turned to him with a dry look. “Excuse me?”“The mischief? That’s all you. I'm sure that's exactly how you were at their age.”She huffed, crossing her arms. “And

    FIVE YEARS LATERThe morning sun peeked through the white curtains, casting golden light across the bedroom. Tessa stirred, instantly feeling the warmth pressed against her back, a familiar arm draped over her waist. A smile crept onto her lips as she blinked sleepily.She didn't have to turn around to know Gendry was awake. His slow, steady breaths against the nape of her neck gave him away.A soft kiss landed on her bare shoulder."Happy anniversary, Mrs. Graham," he murmured, his voice husky from sleep.Tessa hummed, pressing back against him. "Happy anniversary, Mr. Graham."Gendry tightened his hold on her, rolling her onto her back so he could hover over her. The intense look in his dark eyes sent a familiar shiver down her spine."Last night wasn't enough," he whispered, running his fingers down her side. "I need more."Tessa let out a soft laugh. "Didn't we exhaust ourselves already?"His lips brushed against her neck. "Not even close."They made love again, slow and deep, as

    Tessa’s heart thudded as her father stared at Gendry, his brows furrowing deeper by the second. "Of course I figured that out already." her father finally scoffed, shaking his head. "It's just... Tessa is two months pregnant. Two months. I—" He blinked rapidly as the realization dawned. "Unless..." Tessa took pity on him. She sighed and decided to just put him out of his confusion. "Dad," she said carefully, "there was… something between Gendry and me. When we were in Jamaica." Her father's frown only deepened. "I don’t understand. Since we left Jamaica, I haven’t seen you two together until yesterday. How could there be something between you when–” Beside him, Thalassa let out a small chuckle and placed a hand on his chest. "Leave them alone, Kris," she said, eyes twinkling with amusement. Kris turned to her, narrowing his eyes. "You don’t seem surprised." Thalassa shrugged. Kris’s jaw dropped. "Lassa. You knew?" She gave him an innocent look. "I had my suspicions." "And yo

    All eyes turned towards Tessa and Gendry as they entered. In the living room were her parents, Alex, Rita, Maya, Jace, Aunt Luisa, Uncle Alden, and their youngest 17 years old daughter, Tessa's cousin, Emma.The moment Rita spotted Gendry, she gasped. "Gendry!" she squealed, jumping up from her seat and rushing toward him.Gendry barely had time to react before Rita crashed into him. He let out a soft chuckle, crouching slightly to meet her height as he ran a hand through her hair.“Missed me that much, huh?” he teased, the corner of his lips lifting in amusement.Rita huffed and pulled back, immediately smoothing down her hair. “You're ruining my hair,” she grumbled, glaring up at him.“My bad,” Gendry said, his voice dripping with fake remorse. His amused gaze flicked toward the others, and laughter rippled through the room, even from Alex.Despite the lighthearted moment, Tessa caught the curious look in her father’s eyes. There were unspoken questions swimming in his gaze.“Good e

    “Marry me, Tessa.”Tessa stared at him, her lips parting as she tried to process what he had just said. Her voice came out in a breathless whisper. “What?”Gendry didn’t hesitate. He looked straight into her eyes, his expression open and sure. “Marry me, Tessa.”She felt like her heart had stopped. Her mind raced, but no coherent thoughts came. “You—” She swallowed, utterly flustered.Gendry chuckled at her shock, rolling onto his side so that he was partially on top of her. His fingers traced lazy circles on her arm, his touch soothing.“Hear me out,” he murmured. “I know it sounds crazy. Maybe it is. But I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.”Tessa’s breath hitched, her pulse drumming in her ears.“We just made things official, like, yesterday,” he admitted, his lips curving into a small, sheepish smile. “But it doesn’t feel new, does it? It feels like I’ve known you forever. We’ve been through so much. Hell, even we were against each other at some point. And yet, here we

    “Don’t worry. You’re not the first couple to ask that, and you definitely won’t be the last.” The doctor said with a teasing note in her voice.She pulled out a disposable wipe and began wiping the gel from Tessa's belly. Tessa sighed in relief.“That should be all for today,” The doctor said warmly. “As I said, for the first few months, it would be best to be checked monthly, so please when you're ready, let me know when to schedule the next appointment.”She began rearranging the equipment. “Please wait outside for a few minutes. Your ultrasound pictures and the recording will be ready soon to take with you..” Gendry helped Tessa sit up and adjust her clothes before they stepped out. They waited in the reception area, their happiness and excitement tangible. Ten minutes later, a nurse handed over the envelope containing the picture and the USB. Gendry took it as if it was the most precious thing in the world. They made their way out of the hospital and back to Gendry's car. Aft

    In the afternoon, when it was a couple of minutes to get an appointment, Gendry arrived a few minutes earlier than he promised to pick her up.Gendry leaned against the doorframe, looking relaxed yet effortlessly gorgeous in his button down shirt. His eyes swept over her in that way that always made her feel like the only woman in the world. "You're early," she teased, walking toward him. He beamed. “I'll always be early for you, princes.” Her heart did a little flip at that, but she rolled her eyes to keep her cool. "Such a smooth talker." He grinned and reached for her, pulling her close and covering her lips with his. When they finally broke the kiss, he took her hand. She let him take it without hesitation, their fingers interlocking. It felt so right.As they walked through the office, she felt the weight of dozens of eyes on them. Conversations momentarily halted, only to resume in hushed murmurs once they passed. She knew exactly why. One, no one had ever seen her h
