Chapter 28

apter 28 Chapter 28 Thalassa stared at the man in front of her. She was surprised but not shocked, because she knew he was coming.

Having known him for more than two years even before they got married, she knew how impulsive he could get. That was why she told her security guards not to stop him if he sneaked into the house. She just hadn’t expected him to do it so soon.

“Welcome, Kris. I have been expecting you,” she said calmly.

He let out a laugh that had no warmth whatsoever. “Is that the excuse you’re going to use now that I’ve caught you?”

“Now that you’ve caught me?” She rolled her eyes. “Oh please, don’t be such a drama queen. It doesn’t suit you.”

Kris’s o eyes blazed as he stared at her. Three years. He finally had her in front of him again after three years. He’d spent so many restless nights thinking about her, wondering where the hell she was, hating himself for it.

Yet, now that she was in front of him, he felt a conflicting ball of emotions.

“What did you think you were going to achieve with that mask? That I wasn’t going to recognize you?” He scoffed. “How long were you planning to hide?”

“Not very long.” Thalassa shrugged, a nonchalant expression on her face. “I’ve been able to hide so well all these years, what makes you think you would’ve found me unless I wanted you to? Why do you think I left the balcony door unlocked? I could’ve told my guards to shoot you. After all, you’re trespassing on private property, but I didn’t.”

“Why didn’t you?” Kris demanded, his eyes fading her to answer as he took steps closer towards her.

“Because death isn’t what you deserve. At least not now.”

Her voice was cold. Colder than Kris had ever heard her speak before. So cold that he felt a chill run through him.

“Where have you been all these years, huh?” he asked, hating the throb in his voice.

“Why? Did you miss me?” Her voice was back to being the nonchalant one devoid of any emotion.

Kris narrowed his eyes. “Why are you back, Thalassa? Why are you targeting my family? Why are you targeting my mother?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She let out a sigh. “I’m already beginning to get bored of this conversation.”

Before she could anticipate his next move, he lunged towards her, grabbing her by the arm. It hurt because of how forcefully he grabbed her, but Thalassa bit back the pain, not allowing it to show on her face.

“My mother’s fashion house was doing fine until TT Fashion came along. Suddenly, the stocks began dropping and she started to lose a lot of deals. Now I find out that you’re the owner of TT Fashion and you expect me to believe that it’s all a coincidence?

Are you still going to deny it?”

Clenching her jaw, Thalassa furiously snatched her arm from his hold as she sneered, “No, I’m not going to deny it because it’s true. I’m the one behind your mother’s losses. But believe me, this is not the end of it. This is just the beginning.”

Kris stumbled back, staring at her like he didn’t recognize her. Even after everything she did to him and his family, she was standing here still unapologetic.

“Why do you hate my mother so much? Because she helped me see the kind of trash you are?”

Chapter 20 His words cut Thalassa, making tears burn her eyes, but she was damned if she was going to shed a single tear in front of him.

“Trash?” She let out a mirthless laugh. “If you want to see what trash really looks like, then take a good look at everyone in your family. They’re the perfect example, including that wife of yours.

The corner of Kris’s lip twitched. “Oh, I see. So this is what all this is about? You’re doing this because jealous I picked Karen over you? Because she now holds the position you used to hold in my life?”

‘re e you’r His guts twisted. God knows he hadn’t chosen Karen. Heck, he wished he didn’t have to be with her for his daughter’s sake, but he just wanted to see how his words would affect Thalassa.

And judging from how her eyes brightened with moisture, Kris was sure his words had gotten to her no matter how stone–faced she looked.

“You think you’ve found yourself some gold as a wife, don’t you?” Thalassa snorted.

“Yes, I do think I’ve found myself some gold because Karen is a decent woman and so much better than you. She would never lie to me or betray me. She didn’t marry me for my money, and she would never cheat on me.”

Disgust filled his eyes as he scanned her from head to toe. “Tell me, how many men did you have to fuck in order to get all this money? How many Before he could finish, a resounding slap landed on his cheek, violently tossing his head to the side.

“If you think you can come to my house and insult me, then you’re sorely mistaken,” Thalassa gritted out.

all the Kris’s check burned. In ears he’d known Thalassa, she’d never laid a hand on him, so he realized just how much his words had hurt her.

He wondered if he’d gone too far with his words, but at the same time, he felt so angry. She never apologized for all the things she did three years ago, and yet she still wanted to hurt his loved ones.

“Does the truth hurt?” He sneered.

“Get o out!” Thalassa hissed. “Get out of my house! Guard!”

Immediately, a guard burst into the room. It was obvious that he’d been waiting behind the door.

“Get him out of here!” Thalassa commanded.

Kris raised his hand sternly when the guard began walking towards him. “No need. I can find my way out.”

He turned to Thalassa. “If you think I’m going to sit back while you harm the people I love, then you’re sorely mistaken.”

With that, he walked out of the room with the guard following behind him.
