Chapter 106

Tempers flared. Tension thrummed through the air. The two men looked like they were ready to pounce on each other. Not wanting that to happen, Thalassa quickly inserted herself between them.

“What is going on here?” she demanded, her questioning gaze on Kris.

“Why don’t you ask that guy?” Kris sneered, waving the bouquet of pink lilies in his hand. “He’s not satisfied with just controlling his sister’s life. He also thinks he has the right to make decisions for you.”

Thalassa was confused. She turned to look at Zeke. “What is he talking about?”

Guilt mixed with anger on Zeke’s face, but he didn’t say anything.

“What? Cat got your tongue?” Kris snickered. “Since you won’t tell her, I will. Thalassa, I sent some flowers to be delivered to you, but this bastard sent away the delivery man and even threatened to call security on him, all while claiming that it was by your instructions.”

He was so glad he had stayed in his car after sending the delivery man to deliver the flowers.

Thalassa was taken aback by what she was hearing. She turned back to look at Zeke with a stern expression, giving him a chance to deny Kris’s accusation. That denial never came; the guilty expression on his face gave him away.

Thalassa made a mental note to talk to him about it later. But for now, she wasn’t going to allow Kris to feel validated in any way.

She tilted her head back to face Kris. “And?”

Kris paused. “What do you mean, ‘and‘? He’s trying to control your decisions. He sent the flowers away without your permission.”

“That’s because he knows that I want nothing to do with you or any gift you might want to bring me.”

Kris stared at her in disbelief. “Just to spite me, are you really going to let him control your decisions?”
