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 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 bitter smile curved her lips. It was obvious that no matter what, he was never going to accept that his mother was a monster.

“You’re right,” she said calmly. “It’s sad, isn’t it? That life doesn’t give us the chance to undo our mistakes. If it did, I’d go back and erase the day I ever fell in love with you.”

Her words hit him like a blow, and his grip on her wrist slackened. She took advantage of the moment, yanking her hand free and walking away. But she’d barely made it five steps before his arm snaked around her body, pulling her back against his chest.

“You don’t mean that,” Kris murmured, his voice thick with emotion. “I know you don’t.”

“Let go of me, Kris.” She struggled in his hold, but even though he was holding her with only one arm, she couldn’t break free.

Suddenly she felt the back of her neck dampen with moisture, and she realized that he was crying.

“Please, Thalassa,” he whispered, his voice raw with desperation. “Forgive me. Give me another chance.”

Her fists clenched, trembling with anger. “I told you some time ago what it would take for me to forgive you, and that hasn’t changed. Bring back the child I lost.”

“You know I can’t do that,” he choked, his tears soaking her skin. “But… we could have another. Another baby. I swear, I’ll love and protect that child with everything I have.”

Disbelief and rage surged through Thalassa. Her vision blurred with angry tears as she spun around and shoved him hard on the chest.
