The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

Chapter 84 Chapter 84 s nothing I want more in this world than for you to forgive me... Lassa." Thalassa's heart squeezed painfully at the affectionate nhe'd used. It was a nicknmany close to her called her, but there had been something special about the way he said it-a certain raspiness and breathiness that made her weak in the knees.

The last the'd called her by that nwas four years ago when they'd been happy, before they got married, and he changed into a completely different man.

Glaring at him, she gritted out coldly, "Do not callthat again, Mr. Miller." Kris swallowed, feeling the frostiness in her tone, knowing this was going to be just as hard as he had expected. But at least she'd given him skind of reaction. Her anger was far better than her indifference.

He risked a step forward. "Thalassa, I know that I've hurt you more than any man ever has, and.....” "Any man?" Luisa scoffed. "Try anybody." Now Kris knew this was going to be ten times tougher with Luisa present. Dragging in a deep breath, he corrected himself, his gaze still on Thalassa.

"I know that I've hurt you more than anyone has ever hurt you, and I don't even know where to begin apologizing." "Maybe start by apologizing for treating her like trash throughout your marriage! All the times you called her a gold-digger and a slut," Luisa butted in again. "Or when you threw her in jail. Or maybe when you refused to believe her when she told you she was pregnant and still went on to divorce her and kick her out of your life in the middle of the night! The list is endless." Kris felt his frustration and desperation mount even higher but he knew he couldn't fault Luisa. She'd spoken nothing but the truth.

"For all of it. I regret every one of those things. Every single wrong I did against her," he answered, feeling his throat tighten. 1 While Luisa fumed, she didn't say anything more. Kris looked at Thalassa, his heart in his mouth as he waited for her to say something.

"Okay," she finally said and immediately turned towards her car, but Kris was quick to grab her by the arm. "No. You can't just say that and walk away. Please say something," he pleaded.

Thalassa's eyes glared down at the spot where his hand was wrapped around her arm, her gaze hardening.

Kris?" "What do you wantto say, "Anything," Kris said desperately. "Shout at me. Callthe most idiotic person in the whole world, but please, say something." "I said all that I had to say the last twe spoke in my office when you showedthose pictures. Do you remember what I told you before you left?" Kris brought his hand up, running it lightly through his hair. "Thalassa-" "Tellwhat I told yoù on that day, Kris," she demanded, her hard eyes never leaving his.

Kris pursed his lips for a few seconds before reluctantly answering, "You toldthat... that if I ever regretted 1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 84 everything I've done to you, not even begging for your forgiveness would be enough to make you forgive me." Thalassa's lips stretched into a tight smile as she jerked her arm from his hold. “You said it so perfectly, which means you clearly remember. So, what are you still doing in front ofsaying all those things?" Kris felt like a pin had punctured the little bubble of hope he'd had, and it kept getting smaller and smaller. "Thalassa, please..." He tried to take her hand into his, but she immediately pulled it out of his reach as she lashed out.

"What makes you think that you even have the slightest right to stand in front ofand ask for my forgiveness? What makes you think you're even worthy of that?” "I'm not. I know I'm not, Thalassa,” Kris croaked. “I know I'm not worthy of receiving anything from you because of how much I hurt you, much less your forgiveness. Heck, I know I don't even deserve to breathe the sair as you, but please... I was a complete idiot for not trusting you like I was supposed to and for hurting you because of all the lies I believed about you. But you don't know how much I regret-" <<

"Your regret doesn't mean shit to me!" Thalassa hissed furiously. The indifference was now completely gone. Just like my pleas for you to NO believe in my innocence never meant anything to you. That regret isn't going to erase everything you allowed your family to putthrough, or anything you putthrough during our marriage."

A hard, bitter laugh left her throat. "Do you know what's most ironic? When we got married, I meant everything I said to you in front of the altar, What about you? Every promise, every vow you made that day was a lie. You marriedto makepay for something I never did. While you promised to makethe happiest woman on earth, what was truly going through your head the whole twas how you could makesuffer for the rest of my life." Her nostrils flaring, she challenged, "Deny it." Kris was lost for words because how could he deny something that was true? He remembered that day perfectly, the joy, happiness, and love in her eyes as she'd said her vows to him. Now he feared that she would never look at him that way again.

About to take another step closer, he stopped when she glared at his legs. His heart sank even further as he spoke.

"Thalassa, I know that I was more than an asshole and an idiot, but please, you've got to understand me. I loved you so much, and I thought it was going to always be us, happy forever. Seeing all that evidence... it shattered my whole world." If he thought the pain in his eyes was going to soften her rage, it had the completely opposite effect as she cut him off sharply.

"Do not speak toabout love, Kris Miller, because you don't know what e the fuck that is," she rageḍC'Ifyou' loved mel so much like you claim, then my word and my love should've been enough to convince you that I could never betray you!" 2/3 Chapter 85
