Kris felt as if a bucket of ice–cold water had been dumped over him, his eyes widening in shock at Thalassa’s words. He searched her face, hoping this was some kind of cruel joke, but the fire in her eyes told him she was deadly serious.

“What are you waiting for?” she snapped, breaking the silence. “If you truly want our dead child, wherever they are, to see that you cared, then make their murderer pay. Have your mother arrested!”

Kris’s stomach churned with bitterness; he couldn’t believe she was demanding such a thing of him. As much as he knew she wasn’t going to like his next words, he knew he had to say them.

“Thalassa, I understand that my mother can be prejudiced and hard to please sometimes. She can be anything you want to accuse her of, but she is not a murderer. She would never wish harm on anyone, especially not her grandchild.”

Thalassa let out a bitter chuckle as she wiped the tears from her face. “Especially not her grandchild? Kris, she was the one who convinced you that I was lying about my pregnancy.”

“Yes, but that’s because we all thought you had betrayed our family. Even I believed it,” Kris reminded her, biting his lip. “But I swear, if we had known you were truly pregnant, she would have been the first to tell me not to let you go.”

He paused, searching for any sign of understanding in her eyes. “My mother has always wanted to be a

grandmother. She would never reject her own grandchild, much less try to harm it. You should see how she is with Tessa. She loves and adores her.”

Thalassa’s lips curled into a cold smirk. “Oh Tessa, such a lucky girl. She was born to someone your mother didn’t disapprove of, otherwise she would’ve been just as despised as my unorn child.”

Kris sighed, feeling a wave of frustration. “My mother would never hurt her grandchild simply because she didn’t like you. Thalassa, she might be prejudiced, but she’s not a monster. She’s not a bad person.”

Before he could finish, Thalassa began nodding her head in agreement, surprising him.

“You’re right, she’s not a monster…” she agreed, her voice softening for a moment before her eyes flashed with blazing hatred. “…because she’s worse than a monster. She’s hated me from the day you told her we were dating. She orchestrated the plan where Karen took those pictures of me with that man. She fabricated evidence to have me arrested for a crime I didn’t commit. And even if you don’t believe me, I stand by my belief that she sent that man to attack me!”
