Thalassa's heart lurched painfully at his words-words she wanted to believe, but she'd been hurt before. She would be a fool to let herself fall for it again.

"Trust you with my heart?" she scoffed, tilting her head toward the ceiling before meeting his eyes. "You must have forgotten. I trusted you with my heart four years ago when we got married, Kris. I trusted you to make me the happiest woman in the world, just like you promised. But instead, you worked hard to make me the most miserable."

She snorted bitterly. "And you say you want to be there for me? Where were you, Kris, when I lost our child?" Her voice cracked, a mix of anger and pain seeping through. "Where were you when I lay in that cold hospital bed, grieving, scared, alone, and wondering what I had done for life to be so cruel to me?"

Kris opened his mouth to respond, but she held up her free hand to silence him. "What are you going to say? That you didn't know? That you weren't sure the child was even yours? What difference would it make now?"

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes, but she blinked them away, determined not to let them fall. She took a deep breath, steadying herself against the weight of the memories pressing down on her.

"I haven't needed you for the last three years," she said, her voice hardening. "And I certainly don't need you now.

She turned to leave, but Kris's grip tightened on her wrist. "No, Thalassa," he pleaded, his voice soft. "I'm not going to make excuses because you're right. I should have been there. I should have."

A tear slid down his cheek as he continued. "I wish I could undo every mistake I made. I wish I could make things right, but I can't. And I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, But if you give me another opportunity, I'll show you how different it's going to be." Thalassa's jaw clenched. "How can you promise me that things will be different when you refuse to seek justice for the murder of our child?"

Kris stared at her. "But I did. I had Karen arrested, didn't I? You were the one who chose to have her released."

A smile filled with bitterness curved her lips. It was obvious that no matter what, he was never going to accept
