Chapter 82

Chapter 82 The next morning, in her holding cell, Karen was going crazy as she paced up and down. Every once in a while, she screamed, “This is an injustice! Get me the fuck out of here! I don’t belong here! This is an injustice. I haven’t done anything!”

She was sharing the cell with two other women. It disgusted her so much that she had to share the place with actual criminals.

“Sweetheart, shut your mouth, or I’ll shut it for you,” one of the women finally snapped. “Can’t you see we’re trying to think?”

“But I’m innocent!” Karen protested. “They’re framing me The other woman rolled her eyes. “That’s what we all say. It’s like a game we know we can never win, yet we still keep playing.”

“No, I’m serious. I’m innocent. They’re framing me for something I didn’t do. Haven’t you seen how they’ve even refused me the phone call I’m entitled to?”

“We don’t give a fuck, princess,” the other woman hissed, eager for Karen to shut up. “You might be wearing fancy clothes, but in here, we’re all the same. So, show us some respect and shut your mouth like a good girl, or we’ll give you a taste of what prison’s like before you’re even transferred.”

Karen scrunched her face in disgust but was wise enough to stay quiet, knowing the woman’s threat wasn’t an empty one.

Just then, a police officer walked up to their door and unlocked it. A huge smile of relief spread across Karen’s face. Finally, this nightmare was about to end.

Immediately, she tried to walk past the officer, but he pushed her back so forcefully that she nearly fell.

“What the fuck did you think you were trying to do?” the cop questioned, his hand resting on his taser.

Karen was deeply confused. “But you came to release me, so what have I done wrong?”

“Release you?” The officer chuckled. “You have big dreams princess.‘

Then he looked at one of the other women. “Your bail’s been paid. Come sign out and get the fuck out of here.”

The woman didn’t show the slightest bit of excitement, which made Karen stare at her in horror. It was as if she was used to it.

The cop gave Karen one last glare before locking the door. Karen was shoved into another bout of misery and agitation.

“Where is my phone call? I know I have a right to a phone call, so I demand it now! Ugh!”

Nobody responded. Karen ran her hands wildly through her hair as she turned away from the door. When she turned back, she froze at who was now standing there.

“Thalassa?”

Thalassa flashed her a smile. “Hello, Karen. Did you have a great night?”

Karen’s nostrils flared. “Did you come here to mock me?”

“Wish I had the time,” Thalassa shrugged. “No. I only came down to the station to file charges against you and the 1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 82 dear stripper you hired, and I thought I’d pass by to say hi.

Hearing this, Karen was instantly thrown into a panic. If Thalassa’s charges were processed, she would be transferred to prison, and getting out without a trial would be difficult.

Now she only had one option: to beg.

Clasping her hands in front of her, she pleaded, “Lassa, I beg of you. Please have mercy on-

11 “It’s Thalassa to you,” Thalassa said calmly, though her expression hardened slightly.

“Okay, Thalassa,” Karen swallowed. “You have to get me out of here. Please, I beg you. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t stand this place.”

Thalassa raised an eyebrow. “Already?” She scoffed. “Just one night in here, and you already can’t stand it?”

She stepped closer to the cell. “Do you remember when I was arrested? You and your accomplice framed me and had me jailed.

I spent three days in the same cold, bare cell. Not a single person came to visit me.”

“I had nothing to do with your arrest!” Karen denied. “That was all Linda’s doing.‘

Thalassa snorted. “Just like what you did to me on my wedding night was also Linda’s plan?”

“Yes,” Karen said earnestly. “You’ve got to believe me. I didn’t want to do it because I never wanted to hurt you, but she made me. I don’t know how she convinced me.”

She reached her hand through the bars, attempting to touch Thalassa’s hand, but when Thalassa glared down at it, she quickly withdrew.

“Thalassa, I could have let that man rape you. That’s what Linda wanted, but I didn’t. I strictly warned him not to because, despite everything, you were still my friend, and I didn’t want to harm you.”

Thalassa didn’t know whether to laugh or reach through the bars and slap the life out of Karen.

“So what, Karen? Am I supposed to be grateful that you didn’t allow that man to rape me but instead violated my privacy and assaulted me?”

Karen bit her lip, unable to answer as the expression on Thalassa’s face hardened further.

“And what about my unborn child, Karen? You and Linda sent that man to attack me, and you killed my baby.

“No! I promise I had nothing to do with it,” Karen denied. “Linda sent that man to attack you, but she never told me anything beforehand. It wasn’t until the next day that she told me. I was horrified and told her she shouldn’t have done it, but she said killing your child was the only way to ensure you didn’t return to tráp Kris again.”

Thalassa felt a surge of rage brewing inside her. Somehow, she knew everything Karen had just told her was the truth. That was how much Linda Miller despised her. But that didn’t change the fact that Karen had been the woman’s accomplice.

“Now that I’ve told you everything, will you please get me out of here?” Karen sounded hopeful.

“I’ll get you out of here on one condition,” Thalassa said. “Beg me for forgiveness.”

Karen frowned. “But that’s what I’m doing. Please...”

“On your knees,” Thalassa commanded.

Karen’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You can’t possibly be serious.”

Thalassa shrugged. “You won’t do it? Then fine. I’m leaving.”

2/3 Chapter 82 +25 BONUS As she attempted to leave, Karen instantly panicked. “Okay fine. I’ll do it.”

Her face red with humiliation and tears of embarrassment Brightening her eyes, Karen slowly lowered herself to her knees.

“Thalassa, I...I beg you to please forgive me for everything I’ve done to you and for being Linda’s accomplice. Please forgive me and get me out of here. Please.”

Thalassa wished she would feel the satisfaction she had hoped for, seeing Karen on her knees, but that satisfaction was nowhere to be found.

While Karen was still begging, Thalassa turned and began walking away.

Karen’s eyes widened. “You’re going to arrange for my release, right?”

Thalassa paused and turned back to face her. “Arrange your release? What are you talking about?”

‘Karen instantly shot to her feet. “But you promised.”

A mirthless chuckle left Thalassa’s lips. “How does it feel to be on the other end of betrayal, my dear best friend?”

With that, she turned and sashayed away.

Pulling her phone out of her handbag, she hit save on the voice recording her phone had just recorded.
