Thalassa gritted her teeth, fuming. “What is this, Kris? Let him go!” she demanded.Kris refused to release his grip, his eyes boring into Clark’s, but Clark’s eyes only seemed to mock him as he remained still, not trying to defend himself.“Kris!” Thalassa hissed, grabbing his arm and trying to pull him away.“Lassa, I’m so sorry. I tried to stop him. Should I call security?” Juana asked in a panic.“I know, Juana. And no, I can handle this,” Thalassa responded before turning her blazing eyes back to Kris.“Do you always have a penchant for violence, Kris? Because this isn’t a very good look,” Clark pointed out calmly.Gritting his teeth, Kris shoved Clark away, causing him to hit the couch with a thud. A hand shoved him back on the chest.“What is wrong with you? How dare you lay a hand on Clark?” Thalassa raged, smacking her hand on his chest.The smack didn’t hurt, but the fact that she was defending this man infuriated him.“I’m trying to protect you,” he gritted out.Thalassa sn

Thalassa’s brow rose slightly as she looked at Clark, waiting for his reply. Clark already had one prepared.“It’s simple. I just had a hunch. Thalassa already told me everything you and your family did to her. And knowing how important the awards show was, I had a feeling one of you would try something again. But I must admit, I was quite disappointed to find out it was you. I thought you were better than that.”Kris’s blood was above boiling point now, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The only thing preventing him from punching the hell out of the man was that Thalassa was standing between them.“Just get out of here, Kris,” Thalassa finally spoke again, her expression hard. “Be the man you claim to be and accept your deeds for once in your life instead of always finding someone else to blame.”Kris was pained, knowing she thought so low of him, but he couldn’t give up.“Thalassa, please, I just want to protect you. He’s not who he seems to be,” he said,

Clark stiffened, disliking how Thalassa’s gaze remained pointed and questioning. He let out a small chuckle. “Didn’t I? I think I did.”“No, you didn’t, Clark,” she calmly stated, shaking her head, still waiting for an answer.Clark swallowed. “Uh, the last woman I was with... she was called Meghan. I never married her, though, because after the first two experiences, I didn’t want to be attached to anyone else. But we were together, and I thought she had gotten better until she had a bad relapse and had to be sent back to the mental hospital. She committed suicide in there.”He let out a sorrowful sigh. “I guess I didn’t tell you because remembering this has become too painful for me.”“And what about the inheritance you got from all of them? You didn’t tell me about that either,” Thalassa continued.Clark subtly gritted his teeth, wondering why she wasn’t letting it go. “I... I didn’t think it was important. Yes, they were well-to-do, but almost everyone in the foundation I joined w

“So you and Clark... you’re serious now? Are you dating him?” Millie asked.“I wish!” Luisa interjected. “She’s still going on about her ‘I’ll never fall in love again. Blah blah blah.’ But I know Clark will slowly melt her heart. Isn’t he so handsome?”“Uh... yes.” Millie nodded, but in her head, she added, ‘but only on the outside.’Indeed, she’d initially thought Clark was a gentleman, even if he’d seemed a bit too sweet. She’d even thought that she would be happy if he helped Thalassa to finally move on, but after everything Kris’s investigator had revealed, she was wishing for the complete opposite.It troubled her that Thalassa was close to someone like Clark, but as much as she wanted to warn her friend, she couldn’t say anything because she feared Thalassa would accuse her of being sent by Kris to influence her or turn her against Clark.She just hoped the investigators could find damning evidence soon or that Kris could somehow manage to convince Thalassa of how dangerous Cla

Millie's heart pounded in her chest, and all she wished for in that moment was for the earth to open up and swallow her whole."Why do you have those bruises, Millie?" Zeke asked, his voice more serious than before."Bruises?" Millie chuckled nervously, shifting her back away from the mirror so he couldn't see the reflection anymore. "You must have seen wrong. Why would I have bruises?""I'm not stupid, Millie. I know what I saw," Zeke said, taking a step closer to her.Millie felt like she was going to pass out as he approached. "Zeke, please leave. It's not appropriate for you to be here while I'm barely dressed. Please go."Whether or not the situation was appropriate was the last thing on Zeke's mind as he closed most of the distance between them."Forgive me," he apologized for what he was about to do.Placing his hand on her shoulder, he tried to turn her back to face him, but Millie resisted."Zeke, no, please...""Millie..." Zeke ground out.There was a warning in his tone tha

“I... I'm a masochist. My pleasure comes from pain, so whenever we have sex, I tell him to do this to make me feel good.”Silence fell over the room. Zeke stood frozen, so shocked that words escaped him. Millie’s face was filled with shame, but was it because she was lying—or because she was telling the truth?Francis stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Millie, his mocking gaze never leaving Zeke.“Are you satisfied now? Feel good about yourself, making her confess something she’s ashamed of?” he sneered.The grating sound of Francis’s voice snapped Zeke out of his shock, and he spat, “You’re a fucking liar! I saw those bruises myself. They weren’t playful bruises. Millie would never ask for something like that.”Francis scoffed, his voice laced with contempt. “Apart from the fact that our bedroom business is none of yours, you didn’t hear it from me—you heard it from her. She’s into rough and kinky stuff when we’re intimate. Didn’t

"Kris was an idiot. I completely agree with that. But I could never doubt the love he has for Thalassa. I've been with him all these years. I was there when he desperately tried to verify those pictures of her supposedly cheating on him. It shattered him every time he was told they were real. And yet, even after that, he still chose to marry her." Luisa spun around, her expression hardening. "He married her to make her suffer." Alden nodded slowly, not bothering to deny it. "Yes, but that wasn’t his only reason. He married her because he still had hope—hope that she would confess what he thought she’d done. Despite how betrayed he felt, he was willing to forgive her if he saw that she truly regretted betraying him, if she showed him that she didn't want to lose him. That’s how much he loved her, Luisa. And he still does." A curt chuckle escaped Luisa. "He loved her so much that he knocked up the woman who was supposed to be her best friend and married her right shortly their divo

Panic seized Luisa’s expression. “Oh God, if you’re right, I need to warn Thalassa right away. She has to know Clark is dangerous.”Noticing how her breathing grew shallow, Alden gently cupped her face between his hands.“Hey, hey... breathe, Luisa. It’s okay,” he soothed.Luisa nodded and followed his advice, dragging in a breath to calm her nerves. But the anxiety still lingered.“I can’t believe this,” she muttered. “I’ve been pushing Thalassa toward Clark because I thought he was a good guy. I thought he’d make her happy. Oh God, I need to change her mind.”“You will,” Alden reassured her, his voice steady. “But first, calm down. We could be dealing with a lot more than we realize when it comes to Clark. We need to approach this carefully, with a clear head. Can you do that?”His hand lingered on her face as his gaze locked on hers, and suddenly, Luisa felt captivated by the warmth in his gold-flecked eyes. Her chest suddenly felt too tight, forcing her to breathe through her mout

“Alden was here?” Thalassa asked, her brows raised. “When?”“Just a few minutes ago. I saw him stepping out of the elevator,” Clark replied, fixing his gaze on Luisa. “Did he come to see you?”Luisa resisted the urge to snap at him, to tell him it was none of his business, but she bit her tongue and held back her retort.Thalassa smiled, her eyes lighting up as she turned to Luisa. “Did he finally ask you out? Are you two together now?”Both of them were staring at her expectantly, but Clark’s gaze was much more intent on her, making Luisa feel uneasy.“Yes,” she lied, feeling trapped. She couldn’t give any other answer, especially with Clark watching her so closely. If she denied it, it would mean having to explain what Alden actually came to do.Thalassa beamed. “That’s great! I’m happy for you, Sis.”“Thanks,” Luisa replied, forcing a smile. “Thalassa, I need to talk to you—”Clark cut her off with a smooth chuckle. “You said you had something to discuss with Thalassa, but we’re k

“I’ll let you know if we need your help.” Luisa said, her voice coming out sharper than she intended. Clark’s smile dropped, but he restored it almost immediately, and an awkward silence settled over the table for a few seconds until he broke it with another ferrible joke. A few minutes later, their food was brought to them. “Luisa, are you sure everything’s okay? You haven’t taken a bite yet,” Thalassa asked, noticing Luisa was just poking her salad with her fork after she and Clark had already been eating for a while. “Everything’s fine, Lassa. Don’t worry,” Luisa replied, forcing herself to take a forkful of salad to ease Thalassa's concern. But she could feel Clark’s eyes on her every few seconds. Not wanting to raise his suspicions, she forced herself to finish everything on her plate, acting as normal as she could. When they were done, Clark paid the bill. Just as Luisa thought they were about to leave, he excused himself. “Will the ladies excuse me? I need to use the
