The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 3

Thalassa’s hands shook as her eyes repeatedly ran over the bold words: DIVORCE AGREEMENT.

Agreement? She certainly didn’t remember sitting down to talk about anything. This surely had to be a mistake.

She turned her panicked eyes to the lawyer. “Is this a joke?”

“I don’t remember ‘comedian’ being in my job description, Miss Thompson,” the lawyer said, sounding offended.

“Then what is this?” Thalassa demanded, her voice louder than she intended, laden with frustration.

The lawyer’s nostrils flared as he looked around at the people staring at them. “It’s exactly what you’re looking at, Miss Thompson. Kris wants a divorce.”

Thalassa noted how he kept referring to her by her maiden name, as if she and Kris were already divorced.

The lawyer took a step closer. “Look, don’t make this complicated. You’re lucky to be walking away with just a divorce. You could’ve spent several years rotting in jail. You should be thankful to Kris that he convinced his mother to drop the charges.”

Just like that, Thalassa felt hope spark inside her. Kris had convinced his mother to drop the charges. That could only mean that he loved her. There was definitely an explanation for all this.

Mr. Sawyer drew a pen from his bag. “Here, please take the pen and sign the papers. There’s no alimony because Kris said you can keep the millions you stole into your offshore accounts. All you have to do is sign at the required spots, and he’ll have your belongings delivered to wherever you want.”

Before the lawyer could finish speaking, Thalassa had turned and began storming out of the police station. Reaching the roadside, she quickly waved her hand at an approaching cab.

The car stopped in front of her, and she didn’t waste time entering. “The Miller mansion,” she instructed the driver. She still had the divorce papers in her hand, and her heart pounded as she stared at them.

It couldn’t be true. This had to be another one of Linda Miller’s schemes to separate her and Kris. She wasn’t going to believe it until Kris himself told her that he wanted a divorce.

When the driver stopped outside the Miller mansion, she reached into her bag and pulled out some dollar notes. Not caring how much it was, she tossed it at the driver and got out.

She was just about to enter through the gate when a burly security guard stepped in front of her.

“You can’t go in,” he said gruffly.

Thalassa glared at him. “What do you mean I can’t go in? This is my house! I’m Kris’s wife!”

“I know that. But I’ve been given orders by Mrs. Miller not to let you in.”

Of course, it was Linda Miller’s orders.

Thalassa roughly ran her fingers through her hair, feeling like she was going insane. Without a second thought, she ran past the security guard onto the mansion’s compound.

“Hey, I told you you can’t go in!” the man hissed, running after her, but his speed was no match for Thalassa’s desperation as she ran on and finally entered the house.

The Miller family was all gathered in the living room, but Kris was nowhere in sight. All of them turned to look at her disdainfully before storming towards her.

“What are you doing here, you thief?!” Cynthia, Kris’s aunt, demanded.

“This bitch really has some guts!” Tyler, Kris’s younger brother, scoffed.

“I’m going to drag her out by her hair!” Susan, Kris’s younger sister, gritted out.

“Ma’am, I tried to stop her, but she just ran past me,” the security guard said as he appeared behind Thalassa, grabbing her by the arm.

“It’s okay. Let go of her arm,” Linda Miller said as she finally stopped in front of Thalassa. The rest of her family also stopped behind her, their eyes blazing like vultures, waiting to tear Thalassa to shreds.

“You have no shame showing your face here after what you did to my son and our family,” Linda sneered, her voice dripping with disgust.

Anger shot through Thalassa as she snapped. “I did not do anything, and you know it! You were the one who sent me to meet that man. Why are you doing this? Why are you lying?”

Her voice broke, which only increased the pleasure on her mother-in-law’s face.
