Chapter 181

Before Kris knew what was happening, Zeke grabbed him by the collar of his suit and yanked him away from Thalassa, shoving him with such force that he would have crashed to the floor if the couch hadn’t cushioned his fall.“Zeke!” Thalassa gasped.“How dare you lay your filthy hands on her and kiss her?” Zeke raged, the veins on his forehead and neck bulging as though they were about to burst.“What the hell is your problem?” Kris hissed, pushing himself to his feet. He clenched his fists, wanting to punch the hell out of him, but a pleading look from Thalassa made him hold back.“No, what’s wrong with *you*?” Zeke shot back. “When will you understand that Thalassa doesn’t want anything to do with you? Now you’re forcing yourself on her?”He turned to Thalassa, gently cradling her face between his hands. “Are you okay? Did he hurt you?”The sight of Zeke’s hands on Thalassa made Kris’s blood boil. His jaw tightened as he fought the urge to tear Zeke away. Thalassa wasn’t his—not reall

Zeke's nostrils flared as his eyes moved from Alden to Luisa. “Oh, so you're back together with this idiot who two-timed you with another woman?” he scoffed in disbelief. “Great. Just great.”Without another word, he stepped past them and walked out of the office. Tension hang in the air seconds after his departure.“Well, at least he didn’t try to punch the hell out of me,” Alden joked to lighten the mood.No one else laughed, but the tension eased slightly.“Hey, are you ready to go, or should I leave without you?” Alden asked Kris.“No, I’ll go with you. I’m sure Lassa has a lot of work to do,” Kris responded.It still felt surreal to call her "Lassa" without her telling him it was reserved only for her loved ones. Did that mean he was part of her loved ones now?Smiling to himself, he moved to stand in front of Thalassa. “I’ll go now. See you at your house this evening?”“Sure,” she whispered.Leaning down, Kris placed a gently kiss on her lips, and when he pulled back, he couldn'

The Miller mansion was glowing with lights as guests began streaming in, dressed in their finest attire. Inside, the grand hall had been carefully decorated for the evening.Linda Miller walked around, a smile etched on her face as she greeted and welcomed guests, her eyes scanning the room to ensure everything looked as perfect as it could.Spotting a small group of women standing near a corner, she smirked as she made her way towards them. She had been closest with them, but ever since her company's crisis got worse, they'd begun avoiding her because she apparently wasn't on the same level as them anymore. Tonight, she wanted to show them."Ladies," she greeted warmly, offering brief hugs to each of them. "I’m so glad you could make it."One of the women, an older brunette in an emerald dress, gave Linda a polite smile, but there was something mocking in her tone. “The decorations are beautiful, Linda. But it does feel... different from what you used to do. Quite a change.”Linda’s

“Thalassa.” Linda nodded slightly after several tensed seconds, her smile returning as she extended her hand. “I’m very glad you could make it.”“I’m sure you are.” Thalassa’s lips stretched into a smile as she took Linda’s hand for a handshake.The handshake lingered a bit too long, so tense that everyone in the hall could feel it as the two women stared into each other’s eyes.Linda was the first to break the stare, pulling her hand back from Thalassa’s grip. Thalassa’s lips twitched in amusement.“I’m happy you decided to do the right thing by clearing my name,” Linda spoke evenly.“Oh, I had to,” Thalassa replied, her gaze sharpening despite her smile. “After all, that’s what just people do. They expose the truth for everyone to see. Wouldn’t you agree?”Linda’s smile faltered slightly, her eyes narrowing. “Yes, I agree.”They stared at each other again, the tension building until Susan and Cynthia appeared behind Linda. “Welcome to our party, Thalassa. We hope you have a good eve

“Kris...” Thalassa swallowed, trying to keep her expression neutral. “Were you speaking to someone?” he asked again. “Uh... no... I was just talking to myself," Thalassa quickly said, praying he hadn't heard what she had been saying. Thankfully, he didn’t press further. His eyes lit up as they scanned her from head to toe. “You look gorgeous,” he whispered. His closeness was unsettling Thalassa. She needed him away so she could do what she’d come to do without any second thoughts. “Kris, we’ve already talked about this, haven’t we?” Kris stared at her, his eyes squinting in confusion. “You said you didn’t want people to see that we’re together again, but we’re not doing anything, Thalassa. We’re just talking. Surely, nobody will suspect we’re a couple just because of that?” “You’d be surprised how some people think. I don’t want to take that risk, Kris. Please understand.” She saw the hurt flash across his face before she turned and walked off, forcing herself to return to the

“Kris,” Thalassa whispered, her heart pounding inside her chest. Kris took slow steps toward her, his expression utterly broken as he stared at her. “I should've known this was too good to be true.” His breath hitched in his throat, his heart squeezing so painfully that he thought it was going to implode. He wanted to believe his eyes were deceiving him, but the evidence was right in front of him. His fingers twitched at his side, his jaw clenching painfully. “Getting back together with me...everything you said about letting the past go and giving me a second chance... I should have known it was all a lie. You lied to me. Why?” Despite her racing heart, Thalassa glared at him. This wasn’t how she wanted him to find out about her plans, but she refused to let herself feel guilty. “What did you believe, Kris?” she hissed. “Did you really think I could ever forgive your mother after everything she did to me? After she had me assaulted to make you believe I cheated on you? After she

“Kris, what is wrong with you?” Susan demanded as she stormed toward her brother. “How can you tell them to arrest Mum?”“Yes, Kris. How can you even think your mother is capable of something like that?” Aunt Cynthia added.“I said she's no mother of mine,” Kris hissed.Linda's heart was pounding as panic surged through her. No, no, no. This couldn’t be happening.“But... but... Kris...” Her lips trembled as she took hesitant steps closer to him. “Son, how can you say something like that? How could you even think I would ever do something like that?”Baring her teeth, she turned her hateful gaze on Thalassa. “All because of that woman!”She slowly returned her gaze to Kris, desperation filling her eyes. “I can’t believe you trust her over your own mother. She made a fool out of you. She made you believe she’d forgiven you, but it was all a ploy to exact her stupid revenge on me. She used you. How can you trust anything she says after all this?”Hesitantly, she reached up to cup his fa

Thalassa hadn’t spoken a word all this time or even moved an inch. Her mind was frazzled, as if she were in a dream, unable to believe that any of this was real.But when Kris stepped in front of her and she saw the pain in his eyes, it confirmed that she wasn’t dreaming.“Will you come along to the police station?” he asked, his voice devoid of emotion. “You’re the one who has the right to file the report about the attack.”Still feeling numb and in disbelief, Thalassa nodded almost mechanically. They headed toward the door, all eyes on them, the murmurs of the guests echoing behind them.Once outside, Kris turned to her. “Will you come with me?”Thalassa shook her head. Despite her scattered thoughts, she wasn’t ready to be alone with him. “No. I brought my car.”Kris nodded, saying nothing more as he headed to his car. Thalassa also went to her car.When they arrived at the police station, a crowd of reporters was already waiting outside. As soon as they saw Kris step out of his c

Remembering the broken expression on Kris's face when he found her in his mother’s room, Thalassa’s heart squeezed painfully. She couldn’t bear his silence any longer.She blurted out, “What? Are you upset with me because I did what I had to do to bring your mother to justice?”“Upset?” A humorless chuckle left his mouth. “In what world could I be upset with you? No, I’m not upset. I’m ashamed.”Pain flashed in his eyes. “You told me. You told me so many times that it was my mother behind the attack on you and the death of our child, and I still refused to believe you. I called you a liar. How can I be upset with you when I know I don’t even deserve your forgiveness?”A self-deprecating look settled on his face. “I knew it. I knew I didn’t deserve your forgiveness or your love, and yet like a fool, I allowed myself to dream. I dreamed that you still loved me and that we could finally be happy together.”He pursed his lips, the hurt in his eyes intensifying. “But I didn’t deserve your

That evening, Zeke had gone to the cinema to watch a movie. Alone. He had never been a movie fanatic, but whenever he did go to the cinema, it was always with someone, usually his sister.But he hadn't spoken to Luisa since he left Thalassa’s office yesterday. Nor had he spoken to Thalassa. The thought of Thalassa made his heart ache painfully.He wasn’t upset with Luisa, just disappointed. Her telling him some time ago that she wasn’t going to choose him over Kris as the one who deserved to be with Thalassa had hurt enough. But the fact that she hadn’t bothered to tell him Thalassa had gotten back with Kris felt even worse.If he had known, he would’ve been better prepared before going to see Thalassa at the office. Instead, he’d walked in on Thalassa and Kris kissing—a scene that shattered him.As for Thalassa, he wasn’t upset with her either. How could he be? It wasn’t her fault he’d been too much of a coward to tell her about his feelings all these years.But that didn’t mean it d
