Thalassa’s body went absolutely stiff–her expression, her movements, even her voice–as she stared back at the woman she considered a second mother. Though she’d expected the request, the sting of betrayal was too hard to

escape.

“Aren’t you going to say anything?” Rita asked after several seconds had passed.

Thalassa finally found her voice, but she was unable to eject the bitterness from it as she spoke.

“Do you realize what you’re asking of me, Mum? You’re asking me to forgive the person who did everything to ruin my life.”

Shame reddened Rita’s cheeks as more tears streamed down her face. “I know, I know what I’m asking of you. I know I’m not being fair to you.”

But Thalassa wasn’t done. “She drugged me and assaulted me with a man so that she could take naked pictures of me and convince Kris that I was cheating on him. She was Linda Miller’s accomplice in framing me for the embezzlement, and she’s been that woman’s accomplice in every plan against me. How can you expect me to forgive such a person, Mum?”

“She regrets it, dear. She regrets everything she did to you so much.”

A mirthless chuckle escaped Thalassa’s lips. “She regrets it or she told you that she does? Don’t you think it’s a little too convenient that she regrets it only now that she’s in jail?”

“Please, do it in the name of everything you shared together. In the name of the beautiful friendship the two of you once shared,” Rita pleaded.

Thalassa smiled wryly. “Karen didn’t exactly remember all that when she was betraying me, did she? How do I know that it wasn’t all fake?”
