“Kris was an idiot. I completely agree with that. But I could never doubt the love he has for Thalassa. I’ve been with him all these years. I was there when he desperately tried to verify those pictures of her supposedly cheating on him. It shattered him every time he was told they were real.

Luisa spun around, her expression hardening. “He married her to make her suffer.”

Alden nodded slowly, not bothering to deny it. “Yes, but that wasn’t his only reason. He married her because he still had hope–Hope that she would confess what he thought she’d done. Despite how betrayed he felt, he was willing to forgive her if he saw that she truly regretted betraying him, if she showed him that she didn’t want to lose him. That’s how much he loved her, Luisa. And he still does.”

A curt chuckle escaped Luisa. “He loved her so much that he knocked up the woman who was supposed to be her best friend and married her right shortly their divorce.”

Alden pursed his lips, shaking his head. “There was nothing between Kris and Karen while he was still married to Thalassa. And after the divorce, he never intended for anything to happen with Karen either. What happened that night was a mistake.

He got extremely drunk, thinking about Thalassa, and the next thing he knew, he woke up in bed with Karen. He doesn’t even remember what happened. He made it clear to her afterward that he didn’t love her, that there could be nothing between them. But a month later, Karen told him she was pregnant. He told her he would take care of the child, but he couldn’t marry her–until she threatened to abort the baby.”

Luisa inhaled sharply, her hardened expression faltering. Alden saw his opening and stepped closer, pressing on. “Kris and Karen may have been married all these years, but it was only in name. There’s never been anything real between them. The only reason he stayed was because of his daughter–and because he got used to being miserable. He convinced himself that he could never love anyone else but Thalassa.”
