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

    Kris was furious because his family had lied to him. They’d told him that Thalassa had slapped his mother unprovoked. Now it turned out that it was his mother who had slapped her first.“You lied to me, Mum. Why did you tell me that she hit you first when that wasn’t true?”Regret filled him as he remembered all the hurtful things he had said to Thalassa. He’d gone to her office, angry from what his family had told him, as well as the discovery of her relationship with Zeke. That was why he’d said all those things to her.Now it turned out that he’d been lied to.“Kris, why are you speaking to your mother like that?” Karen said, trying to touch him on the arm, but Kris shook her touch off and ignored her.“I can’t believe you’re really speaking to me like this because of that woman.” His mother suddenly broke into tears. “I only went there to fight for our family because that woman is obviously intent on destroying us. That was why I hit her, but she hit me back so hard.”Seeing his m

    At TT Fashion House, paparazzi and reporters from all the major news outlets had gathered in front of the building, waiting to speak to Thalassa.Ever since the real footage was released, public opinion had shifted in Thalassa's favor, but she knew she could take more advantage of this. That was why she'd called for this press conference. As soon as she stepped out of the building onto the street, cameras began flashing, and all the reporters began throwing their questions at her simultaneously. She was accompanied by Luisa, who stood beside her."One at a time, please," Thalassa said calmly but loudly enough to command respect."Miss Thompson, what do you have to say about the anonymous video accusing you of mistreating Linda Miller and her family members?" a reporter asked.Thalassa elegantly flipped her hair before answering. "As has already been proven by the original footage I released, those claims are nothing but false. It was obviously posted by someone who wanted to hurt me,

    When Luisa stepped out of Thalassa's office, she went to stand by Juana, the secretary's desk.Suddenly, she felt a stare on her. It was so focused that the hair on the back of her neck stood up. She quickly whipped her head to the side to find the guy who had been walking beside Kris.He blanched, embarrassed at being caught staring, and Luisa glared at him, feeling uncomfortable.Seeing that he’d been caught, Alden decided to move forward, flashing Luisa a smile she didn’t return.“Hey, I’m Alden. Alden Richards,” he said, outstretching his hand.Luisa merely stared at his hand before looking away. “Okay.”Alden was caught off guard by the bit of unfriendliness he sensed. He chuckled lightly to cover the embarrassment of his hand being left hanging in the air.“I’m a friend of Kris’s,” he said.Luisa’s expression soured even more. “Believe me, you shouldn’t be saying that as a flex.”“No… What… I’m not saying…” Alden frowned in confusion before everything clicked in his head. “Oh.”

    The tension broke when Kevin suddenly appeared beside Tessa, a broad smile on his face as he looked at her parents. Gendry and Alex finally released their handshake, and Gendry stepped back, returning to his previous spot.After a few seconds, Kevin glanced at Tessa and arched a brow, silently prompting her for a formal introduction.Tessa cleared her throat. "Uh, Mum, Dad, this is Kevin Balthazar. Kevin is..."She trailed off, and Gendry unknowingly held his breath, waiting for what she was going to say."...a very good friend," she finally completed.Kevin beamed. "I'm very honored to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Tessa has told me a lot about you." He stretched out his hand eagerly.Both Kris and Thalassa shook his hand, looking slightly amused by his enthusiasm. Then Kevin turned his attention to Alexander."I'm a huge fan of yours, Alex." His eyes widened. "I can call you that, right?"Alex smiled and nodded. "Of course. My sister's friends are my friends."Gendry snorted. Why d

    Tessa’s happiness at seeing her family was unmistakable. After hugging and rocking her little sister for a bit, she moved toward her parents, who both engulfed her in a warm embrace.Gendry’s breath hitched. He’d seen Tessa wear a lot of expressions; angry, frustrated, annoyed, flushed, and pleasured, but he’d never seen her look so at peace before.It was obvious she loved and adored her parents, and she felt safe with them. Gendry wondered if there was a story there he didn’t know.“Hey, I’m feeling incredibly left out right now,” Alex said in a mock-grouchy voice.Tessa’s parents released her from their hug. She shrugged, looking at her brother.“I’m only hugging those I missed the most. I didn’t miss you much, so—”“Stop being silly and come here.”Tessa shrieked with laughter as Alex pulled her into a hug. Their bond as siblings was undeniable, their closeness evident in the easy way they teased and held each other.

    Tessa’s heart caught. What he'd just told her could mean two things: that he wanted her so much that he’d set his rule aside because of her, or that she was worthless to him, which was why he was willing to sleep with her with no intention of having a relationship with her. The possibility of it being the latter stung more than she could ever admit. But why? It wasn’t like she wanted a relationship with him either. With her mood suddenly soured for reasons she couldn’t understand, she looked out the window at the buildings whirling by. “What about you?” Gendry’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts. Tessa pulled away from the window and looked at him. “What about me?” she asked, confusion in her voice. “You already know I’d never been with any man... until yesterday” “Yes. I know.” Gendry nodded. “The question is why. You’re beautiful, and you know it. It couldn’t possibly be because no man has approached you before. I know you probably have a thousand flocking around you, so wh

    On the way back to the villa, the car was filled with a comfortable silence, but Tessa's mind was stuck on something she couldn't stop thinking about. It had been on her mind since morning, and she needed an answer. Before she could change her mind, she spoke. “This morning… what Jace said… what did he mean?” She saw Gendry’s hands tense around the steering wheel. “Jace said a lot of things,” he pointed out. “Yes,” Tessa agreed. “But I meant… what he said about thinking you’d lost interest in women.” Gendry briefly took his eyes off the road. “I can stop the car and show you right now that he was talking nonsense—just like I showed you a few hours ago.” Tessa’s cheeks flushed, wild images flaring through her mind at his words. “You’re evading my question.” “And you seem to have forgotten your own rules,” Gendry mused wryly. “No talking about each other’s personal lives, remember?” His voice had an edge to it, and Tessa wondered if she should drop it, but the curiosity was eati

    "Where have you been, Missy?" That was the first thing Maya asked as soon as Tessa walked into the villa's living area. Tessa had prepared for the question. "In my room," she answered casually. Since she'd gone straight to Gendry's room, her door had still been locked, so Maya wouldn't have been able to enter. Maya tilted her head. "And you didn't hear me when I came knocking?" Tessa shrugged. "I was taking a nap." "Must have been a very deep nap because I called your phone as well," Maya revealed, eyeing her suspiciously. "You didn't hear it either?" Bringing her phone up, Tessa turned on the screen and noticed two missed calls from Maya in her notifications. She thought she had vaguely heard a phone ringing, but it had seemed like a dream compared to the very real reality of Gendry doing things to her insides with his cock. "No, I didn't hear it." "Hmm." Maya hummed, studying her. "Why does your face look so red? And your lips look a bit swollen. Are you okay?" Tessa shif

    When Tessa entered the house, only a few guests were lingering about. Gendry was nowhere in sight, so he had probably gone to his room-which was perfect. Making her way down the corridor that led to her and Gendry's room, she knocked on his door immediately, looking back to ensure that no one was watching her. The door opened after a few seconds. Gendry stared at her with an unreadable expression before stepping back to allow her entry. Entering, Tessa closed the door behind her and jammed her hand on her hip. "What was that outside, Gendry? Why did you react that way toward Kevin?" Gendry gave her a bored look. "I told you. I thought he was harassing you." "You had no reason to think that," Tessa pointed out. "He and I were just having a conversation." "Yes, a very intimate conversation, it seems," Gendry said, his tone edged with sarcasm. Tessa stared at him. "You do realize that there were people watching us, right? Everyone is probably suspecting it now. You acted like you

    Tessa's heart thumped inside her chest. Gendry had spoken in a relatively low voice, so only the few people standing closest to them had heard and seen that something was going on. But sensing the flaring tempers, she knew that if she didn't do something, it could escalate into something worse. “Gendry!” she hissed, glaring at him. Before she could say anything else, Kevin wrenched his hands from Gendry's grip, gritting out, “What the heck is your problem, man?” His voice was louder than Gendry's, and Tessa winced, darting her eyes around. They had gained a few more spectators. “My problem is that I need you to stop harassing Tessa,” Gendry hissed, his tone sharp. Tessa stared at him in disbelief. What the hell was he even thinking? “Harassi... what?" Kevin’s face mirrored her incredulity. “What are you talking about? Why would you think I'm harassing Tessa?” Gendry's jaw clenched. “Because... I... saw that she clearly wanted to get away from you, and you held her hands to sto

    Kevin appeared in front of her. “Hey, I was wondering if you and I could go—”“I’m sorry, Kevin. I...” Tessa began, thinking of an excuse to give him. “Since Jace isn’t here right now, Maya asked me to hang out with her and help her out with a couple of things, so I’m going to be a bit busy.”As soon as she was done speaking, her cheeks flushed. Jesus, she was a terrible liar. He hadn’t even finished saying what he was going to tell her, and she’d gone ahead and given him this long explanation.Kevin stared at her for a bit, making Tessa uneasy, but then a smile broke out on his lips. “Alright, no problem. I guess I can’t expect to have you to myself all the time when you’re literally going to be the maid of honor. I’ll leave you girls, but I’m here when you’re free.”Tessa nodded with a guilty smile, watching him walk away.“Hmm, I didn’t know I’d asked you to help me out with a couple of things,” Maya spoke up beside Tessa, her voice filled with curiosity and a hint of teasing. “I t

    Tessa stepped into the bedroom after soaking herself in a warm bath. She'd searched for what could help with her soreness and had been given the warm bath solution.Though it didn't do a magnificent job of completely getting rid of the soreness, it had alleviated it a bit to the point where she could walk without limping.Just like that, incendiary images flamed through her mind. She quickly put them out. The last thing she needed was to get horny right now.A knock sounded on her door, followed by Maya's voice. "Tessa?""Come in," Tessa called out as she untied her bathrobe. The door opened while Tessa opened the closet to pull out fresh panties, a sundress, and a bra."Guess what I heard?" Maya spoke, her voice filled with that bit of giddiness that always surfaced when she was about to gossip.Tessa looked at her, raising a brow. "What?""I'm not supposed to be telling you this, but whatever." Maya shrugged as she slumped onto the bed. "Apparently, Gendry spent the night with someo
