Chapter 56

In the car, Luisa and Thalassa had been driving in silence for some minutes before Thalassa asked, “So how are you feeling?”

Luisa briefly looked at her before focusing on the road. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Victor didn’t hurt me.”

“I don’t mean physically,” Lassa said tentatively. “Luisa, I know just how much you loved Victor, so that’s why I’m wondering.”

“Love? Did I truly love him?” Luisa smiled bitterly. “I think I was just in love with the idea of him. Brandon treated me like a princess but then he hurt me so much, so when I met Victor and he seemed so cool, I thought it would be different. Maybe they’re not the problem. Maybe it’s me.”

“No, don’t blame yourself, Luisa,” Thalassa said and sighed. “By the way, what was Alden talking about when he said that he knows you don’t want him close to you?”

Luisa winced as she responded. “The last time he came with Kris to the company, he tried to strike up a conversation with me but I was rude to him.”

Remembering how she’d spoken with him, she felt so guilty now considering how he’d saved her from Victor.

“But why were you rude to him?”

Luisa grimaced. “Isn’t it obvious? He’s a friend of Kris’s.”
