Chapter 1354

“The day | hooked up with Alaric, his mom handeda cool two million to stay away from him,” Hertha

confessed to Thalassa, not skirting around the truth.

Thalassa’s jaw dropped, “Did you take the money?”

“Of course! She gave it tovoluntarily. Why pass up free cash? Plus, it’s not like Alaric got a free ride,” Hertha

said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

With wide eyes, Thalassa was a mix of shock and admiration. “Classic Hertha.”

“You know it,” Hertha replied, but her voice tinged with a hint of sadness.

Thalassa knew Hertha like the back of her hand. Her friend was usually fearless, the kind of woman who wouldn't

flinch if the sky fell down. But now, Hertha seemed to be wrestling with something heavy.

This wasn't like the usual Hertha she knew.

Unless life had thrown her a curveball, Hertha’s spirits wouldn't be this low.

Plus, Hertha hadn’t contacted her over the past month, which showed that she was tangled up in sserious

troubles.

“What's up, Hertha? What's bigger news than your fling with Alaric?” Thalassa probed.

Hertha’s eyes, round and solemn, met Thalassa’s as she lamented, “Sometimes I'm just too greedy for my own

good, and it never ends well. | thought Alaric cared about me. We were downing shots at the bar, totally

plastered, and he tookto a hotel room - a double, mind you. And the next morning, | wake up to find him in

bed with Georgia Reed, the two of them naked as jaybirds.”

Thalassa gasped, her shock eclipsing the earlier revelation about Hertha and Alaric.

So, Georgia had slept with Alaric while Hertha was right there on the next bed? Good heavens, if she were in

Hertha’s shoes, she’d be devastated.

It took Thalassa a moment to collect herself before she could speak again.

“So, you and Alaric...?”

“No chance in hell,” Hertha shook her head, her voice resolute. She had already decided to give up on Alaric, but

that night at his place had reignited her hope for something more.

But with his mother paying her off and Alaric’s tryst with Georgia, the blows cone after another. Hertha

realized any future with Alaric was impossible.

“And you...” Thalassa began to ask.

But Hertha cut in, “Lately, Spencer's been discussing our marriage plans with my parents.”

“Spencer's talking marriage with your parents already?” Thalassa was astounded. Could things really be moving

that fast?

“There's been a misunderstanding. | was going to turn Spencer down, but he hasn't giventhe chance. | plan

to set things straight, tell him about my past with another guy, and that he shouldn't waste his ton me.”

Hertha believed in honesty as the best policy.

After all, Spencer was a decent guy, and she had no intention of leading him on.

Thalassa nodded, “Good for you. You should be the one to decide whether or not to marry

someone.”

She hadn't realized just how much had happened in Hertha’s life during the tthey hadn’t been in touch.

“Right, | almost forgot. | cwith snews,” Hertha circled back to the original topic.

“What is it?” Thalassa asked, curious.

“Bruce has been sentenced to death, fast-tracked execution. They already gave him the chair,” Hertha shared

the news she got from David.

Thalassa paused for a moment, a sense of relief and closure reflecting in her clear eyes.
