Chapter 91

“Mum?”The woman in front of her was Rita Blade, Karen's mother. Thalassa called her “Mum” because that was what the woman had asked her to call her on the first day they met.She still remembered that day perfectly. After the death of her mother when she was just a child, she had been sent from one foster care home to another, always being rejected for one reason or another, as if she wasn’t good enough.When she became a teenager, through hard work and determination, she managed to earn a scholarship to an elite high school—the same high school Karen attended.Almost all the students rejected, mocked, and bullied her for being a scholarship student. Those who didn’t bully her didn’t even bother to notice her.One day, while she was being bullied, Karen came to her rescue and defended her from her tormentors, and that’s how they became friends.Since then, they had been inseparable because Karen was always there for her—supporting her financially when she needed it and defending her

Thalassa’s body went absolutely stiff—her expression, her movements, even her voice—as she stared back at the woman she considered a second mother. Though she’d expected the request, the sting of betrayal was too hard to escape.“Aren’t you going to say anything?” Rita asked after several seconds had passed.Thalassa finally found her voice, but she was unable to eject the bitterness from it as she spoke.“Do you realize what you’re asking of me, Mum? You’re asking me to forgive the person who did everything to ruin my life.”Shame reddened Rita’s cheeks as more tears streamed down her face. “I know, I know what I’m asking of you. I know I’m not being fair to you.”But Thalassa wasn’t done. “She drugged me and assaulted me with a man so that she could take naked pictures of me and convince Kris that I was cheating on him. She was Linda Miller’s accomplice in framing me for the embezzlement, and she’s been that woman’s accomplice in every plan against me. How can you expect me to forgi

“What is taking her so long?” Kris gritted out to Alden, who was sitting in the visitor chair next to him.“Forgive me if I sound too smart, but since this is a hospital, she’s probably attending to some patients. Don’t be so impatient,” Alden mused sarcastically.Kris glared at him and continued stewing in his impatience. A few minutes later, the door opened, and the doctor in question waltzed into the office.“Forgive me. There was a complication with a patient that required my attention,” she explained as she walked to take her seat.Alden smiled smugly at Kris with an I-told-you-so look before turning to the doctor. “It’s alright, Doc. The patients come first.”“Thank you.” The doctor smiled gratefully, then looked at Kris. “Mr. Miller, how might I help you?”“You’re the doctor who took care of Thalassa, aren’t you?” he asked, his serious expression and tone making her nervous.“Yes,” she answered.She didn’t need to ask who he was talking about since his private investigator had

Chapter 94

In Thalassa's office, after her call with Kris, Luisa and Millie were staring at her with varying degrees of shock and confusion.“I can’t believe this! You’re really willing to let Karen out of jail?!" Millie exclaimed.“All because of what her mother came here to say?” Luisa fumed. “What if the two of them were in cahoots to deceive you?”“Rita is an honest woman and would never connive with anyone, not even Karen,” Thalassa replied calmly.“Even so!” Luisa stared at her like she was going crazy. “I thought you wanted Karen to pay for everything she has done to you. I can't believe you’re just letting her get out so easily.”Though Thalassa was exasperated, she could also understand her friends' frustration and confusion. Sighing, she stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on one side of her office, which overlooked a breathtaking view of the city.“Luisa, do you remember my main motive for coming back to Baltimore?” she asked, still looking out the window.“Yes. You wan

Karen's hands shook as she raised her head to meet Kris's cold eyes. "I don't... I don't understand. What is this?"His nostrils flared impatiently. "I don't remember you being illiterate.""Divorce? Kris, you can't divorce me," she protested."Do you still doubt something even when you have evidence in your hand? Just sign the divorce papers, Karen. I can't continue being married to a woman like you. This marriage shouldn't have happened in the first place.""But... but what about the luggage? Why have you brought all my things out?"Kris glared at her. "Since you seem to have lost your comprehension abilities, I will explain it to you. I don't want you in this house, not in my life.""But... Tessa... what about our daughter? You can't separate me from her," Karen said, turning her panicked eyes to her mother, who was standing behind her. "Mom, please tell him that what he's trying to do is wrong."Rita felt helpless, u

"Then the twirl... No, no! How many times do I have to tell you to twirl the dress in tune with the turn at the endpoint?....I need a bit more elegance and grace....What is this? What is wrong with you today, Carmen?.....No, that's not it! Why are you so rigid?" Thalassa continued making comment after comment as she watched the model on the makeshift runway walking back and forth in one of their top dresses. Nothing the model did seemed good enough for her. Carmen, the model, looked like she was about to cry, no longer knowing how to move her body to Thalassa's liking. "I'm sorry, Lassa." Thalassa scoffed. "I don't need your apology, Carmen. I just need you to put in the right effort. Is that too much to ask for?" "Lassa!" Luisa hissed as she finally decided to intervene. "What is wrong with you? Why are you talking to her like that?" She looked at the model. "Carmen, please go and take off the

Her heart skipped a beat when something hard was pressed into her back. It was the unmistakable barrel of a gun.“Don’t move,” a deep voice hissed behind her. It was the voice of a man. “You’re going to come with me without making a sound. Is that clear?”Thalassa’s heart raced, but she forced herself to remain calm. “And if I don’t?”The man made a choking sound in his throat, as if he hadn’t expected her to talk back. “Then you won’t see tomorrow. Isn’t that clear enough?”Oh, it was quite clear, but Thalassa knew she couldn’t panic. She needed to keep her cool.“You really don’t want to do this,” she said evenly, her voice betraying none of the fear she felt. “Think about what you’re trying to—”“Shut up,” the man hissed, pushing the gun harder against her spine. “Just move. Right now.”Thalassa took a slow step forward, her mind whirling. She needed to buy some time, to figure out a way to get out of this. The man’s hand was trembling slightly against her back, and she could feel

“Clark!” Thalassa shouted, panic flashing in her eyes, thinking that Clark had been stabbed in the stomach.Clark grimaced but tried to stay upright, his hand clutching his side. The knife had only slashed the left side of his torso, and though the wound wasn’t deep, there was still blood soaking the blue shirt he was wearing.“I’m... I’m okay,” he managed to say through gritted teeth.But the man didn’t pause. He turned his focus back to Thalassa, coming at her again with the knife raised. This time, Thalassa was ready. She dodged his thrust and grabbed his arm, using his momentum against him.They struggled for control, the knife glinting in the dim light, until she managed to twist his wrist, forcing him to drop the weapon. With a swift kick, she knocked the knife out of his reach before jamming her knee into his stomach, sending him to the ground.Grabbing the man by the front of his shirt, she slammed him against the car, her breath coming in short, furious bursts. “Who sent you?

Clark looked at her, waiting for an answer. An answer that never came as Thalassa quickly changed the subject.“We better get out of here before that bastard comes back, don’t you think?” she said instead.Clark nodded, realizing she didn’t want to talk about it. “We need to report this to the police.”“Sure. But let’s just go to the hospital first, Clark,” she said, her voice indifferent.With his key, Clark unlocked the car door, but before he could open the driver’s side, she took the key from him.“I’ll drive.”Clark didn’t protest. “Okay, but I need to get something.”He opened the door and picked up what looked like a napkin. Thalassa watched him curiously as he bent down and picked up both the gun and the knife with the napkin, groaning as he did.“What are you doing?”“This is evidence we can present to the police when we file the report.”Thalassa pursed her lips before reminding him, “He was wearing gloves, Clark. There won’t be any fingerprints to trace.”Clark pondered thi

Their eyes locked for a second. Thalassa was the first to look away. Suddenly realizing that he was still holding her hand, she gently shifted it, prompting him to finally let go. Clark cleared his throat. “I’m sorry for keeping you later than expected with this hospital trip. I’ll take you home immediately after this. As for the report, don’t worry about it. I’ll personally take care of it. But before that, I really need to know, Lassa, who do you suspect sent that man to attack you?” Thalassa’s expression darkened. “I’d rather not talk about it.” Clark let out a long sigh. “You never want to talk about anything I ask about. You never even told me what happened between you and Kris to make you two get divorced.” Clicking her tongue, she grew annoyed with his insistence and sneered, “Do you mean to tell me that you never bothered to look it up, even after I told you it was all over the news?” “No,” Clark shook his head. “I never looked it up because I was hoping that one day
