Chapter 151

Thalassa's heart lurched painfully at his words—words she wanted to believe, but she’d been hurt before. She would be a fool to let herself fall for it again. "Trust you with my heart?" she scoffed, tilting her head toward the ceiling before meeting his eyes. "You must have forgotten. I trusted you with my heart four years ago when we got married, Kris. I trusted you to make me the happiest woman in the world, just like you promised. But instead, you worked hard to make me the most miserable." She snorted bitterly. "And you say you want to be there for me? Where were you, Kris, when I lost our child?" Her voice cracked, a mix of anger and pain seeping through. "Where were you when I lay in that cold hospital bed, grieving, scared, alone, and wondering what I had done for life to be so cruel to me?" Kris opened his mouth to respond, but she held up her free hand to silence him. "What are you going to say? That you didn't know? That you weren't sure the child was even yours? What diff

Before their lips could touch, the jarring sound of the doorbell shattered the moment, snapping Thalassa out of whatever daze she had been in.She quickly pulled back her head. What the hell was wrong with her? Why had she almost allowed Kris to kiss her?Irritated with herself, she gritted her teeth. "I'm almost done," she muttered, continuing to dab at his wound to clear as much blood as possible.The doorbell kept ringing incessantly, causing them both to frown."Who the hell is that?" Kris asked, gripping the edge of his chair in annoyance. Whoever was at the door had deprived him of his moment with Thalassa just when he thought he'd been able to get through to her heart.Once finished tending to his wound, Thalassa gathered the bloodied cotton into a plastic bag. The bleeding had stopped, but there was still a small gap where the stitches had ripped."You need to get that checked at the hospital.""I'll be—" Kris started, but another round of doorbell rings cut him off."I'm goin

Earlier...“Luisa, we’ve been going out for some time now, and in case I haven’t shown it clearly enough, I want you to know that I like you. I like you so damn much. I haven’t known you for long, but spending time with you always becomes the best part of my day. I am absolutely bedazzled by you. Your beauty, your charisma...What I’m trying to ask is…”“Yes.”Alden paused. “I didn’t even finish.”“I already know. And my answer is yes,” Luisa said.An amused smile tugged at Alden’s lips. “So that means you’ll marry me?”Luisa’s eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets. “Alden…I…you…”“You should see your face,” Alden burst into laughter. “I was joking, gorgeous. I mean, it’s definitely not a bad idea, but even I know it’s too quick for you.”Luisa let out a breath, trying to look annoyed, but the smile she was fighting won out, and she smacked him on the chest. “You clown.”Alden chuckled as he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. “So, what do you say? Would y

Luisa's heart pounded inside her chest, her mind ringing with disbelief as she and the woman stared at each other.Alden's face fell. "Vanessa?"Luisa had hoped this was all a mistake—that in their haste to make love, Alden had accidentally brought her to the wrong penthouse. But the fact that he recognized the woman shattered her heart."Who is this bitch, Alden?" the woman demanded, her face scrunching up with jealousy."Don't you dare call her that," Alden hissed.Luisa forced a smile, her voice cold. "Don't worry, Vanessa. This bitch is leaving." She slid the straps of her dress back onto her shoulders and turned to Alden. "I didn't know you were already occupied. Sorry."Panic flashed through Alden's eyes. "Luisa, no. I'm not. I don't know what she's doing here." He turned to Vanessa, glaring at her. "What the hell are you doing here, Vanessa?"“Because I wanted to see you, what else?" Vanessa got up from the bed, not even bothering to cover naked body. She was absolutely gorgeo

On the street, breath quickening, Luisa hailed a taxi and climbed in. When the driver asked where they were going, she was about to give him the address to her and Thalassa’s house, but she hesitated.That was the place Alden was going to look for her at, and she didn’t want to see him. Instead, she gave Zeke’s address.Her heart felt like it was shattering into a million pieces, which was ridiculous. She’d only been Alden’s girlfriend for less than an hour. She shouldn’t be feeling this way.When the taxi pulled up outside Zeke’s house, she paid the fare and stepped out. The security guard greeted her, but Luisa barely acknowledged him as she made her way to the front door.Before she could ring the bell, the door swung open, and Zeke appeared, concern etched on his face.“Luisa, what happened?” he asked, gently taking her hand and pulling her inside. He shut the door behind them, then wrapped his arms around her.That was all it took for Luisa to break down. “You were right, Zeke,”

Alden was unfazed, stepping forward. “Zeke, I know you don’t like me, but I would never do anything to hurt Luisa. What happened at my place was a misunderstanding.”“A misunderstanding?” Zeke scoffed, incredulous. His fists itched to punch Alden, but he held back, afraid of hitting Thalassa by mistake. “You call her finding another woman naked in your bed a misunderstanding?”Alden sighed heavily. “Look, I know it looks bad, but it’s the truth. That woman is my ex. I have nothing to do with her anymore.” He paused, his expression earnest. “But the one I owe an explanation to is Luisa. I need to speak to her.”“You’re delusional if you think I’m letting you see her.” Zeke sneered. “In fact, I don’t want you anywhere near my sister again. Got it?”“When will you stop being such a controlling prick, Mathews?” Kris interjected from behind Alden and Thalassa.Zeke’s glare shifted to Kris. “Shut your mouth, Miller.”Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, Alden bolted past Zeke into

Zeke could barely contain his excitement. "You'll stay tonight?" he asked, a pleased smile tugging at his lips. Thalassa sleeping over meant more time with him—and less time with Kris Miller.Standing beside her, Kris’s jaw clenched tightly as he noticed the smug grin on Zeke’s face. He knew that even if Thalassa went home with him, all she would do would be to treat him with coldness, but that would be far better than her sleeping over at the house of a man who was in love with her and trying to gain her affection.Stepping forward, he spoke. "Thalassa, Alden doesn't mind taking us home. There's no need to stay here."Thalassa slowly turned to him, her expression unreadable. "Yes, I know. So you can go back with him." She paused, her eyes narrowing slightly. "And Kris, you're just a guest in my house. Don’t call it your home."Kris felt the words hit him like a slap. Jealousy and frustration burned inside him, but he could see she had already made up her mind.Zeke seized the moment,

Later that night, Kris was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. Alden had dropped him off about two hours ago after they'd gone to the hospital to have his wound restitched, but sleep had been playing hide and seek with him.Couple that with his freshly aching shoulder and the fact that he missed Thalassa like hell.It was funny. Thalassa’s room was two doors away from his, but despite the distance, when she was home, he could always feel her presence, which gave him some comfort.But tonight, knowing she wasn’t in her room, he felt so damn lonely. Was she thinking about him? Did she miss him as much as he missed her?After tossing and turning for another hour, a thought occurred to him.It was reckless—something he knew would piss Thalassa off if she found out. But he couldn’t help himself.Before he could talk himself out of it, Kris pushed back the covers and climbed out of bed. Stepping out of his room, he moved until he reached the door to Thalassa’s room.Placing his hand on th

Kris's heart raced in his chest as jealousy seared through him, his mind reeling with questions. Who was she talking to?As if dealing with Zeke Mathews wasn’t bad enough, now he had to contend with whoever this Alex was.Still peeking, he noticed the smile on Thalassa's face even after she ended the call and tossed her phone on the bed. It was a smile much bigger than the one he had ever seen her flash at Zeke.The blood in his veins pulsing with envy, Kris nearly stepped out to demand for answers, but he knew that would be a stupid move, so he stayed put and continued observing her.Finally, she headed into her walk-in closet, the door closing behind her but not completely. Kris saw his moment to sneak out.Gently opening the balcony door, he stepped into the room, but he paused when he saw her phone still on the bed, the screen lit up—unlocked. His feet and hands itched to pick it up and check the number she had been on a call with. It took every ounce of restraint to resist the t

“Now that we know it was Clark behind it, could you please hold a press conference to clear my mother’s name?”For a few seconds, Thalassa doubted she'd actually heard him say those words, but her disbelief quickly morphed into bitterness. "You want me to hold a press conference and clear your mother’s name?" she repeated, her tone laced with incredulity, waiting to see if he'd dare confirm it.When he nodded, her jaw clenched tightly. "What makes you think I would ever do something like that?"His brows furrowed as if he couldn't believe she was asking that question."Because that's the truth," he replied earnestly. "Thalassa, since the awards show, my mother has been facing endless hate online and in public. She’s lost millions of clients, and nearly all her investors have pulled out. Her business is on the verge of bankruptcy. My mother worked so hard to build her empire, and losing it will destroy her. If you tell everyone the truth that she wasn’t behind the sabotage, it might s
