All Chapters of The Mistress: Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

She left him nothing. He'd attended the reading of Thalia's will with high expectations only to be bitterly disappointed. How could she be so mean? He was hoping to settle some of his debts with whatever little money he'd inherit from her but she hadn't left him a single penny. Edward, the butler, and Pamela, the nanny received a share together with the employees at the house and estate. If they wanted to continue working for them, they would answer to the butler until Cameron turned eighteen. He would take charge of everything after that. The rest of Thalia's wealth would be divided equally between Cameron and Celia. Edward was appointed as the custodian. Not him. She'd rather trust a stranger than him. Did that mean she knew about his affair? So far he hadn't found the person who'd leaked the photos to the press. The private investigator he'd hired found the reporters who posted the videos on the internet but they claimed to have received packages with instructions to do whatever t

The rest of her memories caught unawares. Three weeks after she met with Dom, Thalia was sitting in her hotel room planning what to do after her cast was removed. The warning she'd been given was still fresh in her head. She knew that man wouldn't hesitate to cut off her legs. Which meant leaving the country was out of the question. And it wasn't like she'd found out where Natalia kept her passport or documents. Her only option was to give Dom what he wanted. So she thought hard about who Orlando could be. Gideon's business partner or client? She didn't think he was associated with anyone by that name. It sounded Spanish or Italian. Between the two of them, she was more likely to know a person of Italian or Spanish descent. There was also a possibility that Orlando was a criminal seeing as he was affiliated with Dom. That had her thinking about the cases she'd handled. Thalia took a notebook and wrote down everything she could remember. She sifted through the closed and ongoing cases

Thalia stood naked in front of the bathroom mirror. She ran her fingers through the thick hair, pushing it over one shoulder and turning to stare at the back view. The pert breasts and round ass were sculpted to perfection. There was a reason men fell at Natalia's feet. She was gorgeous. She had the type of body other women spent thousands to get but always failed. Because a human was incapable of getting such results. Only a higher power could create something so perfect. When they were in high school, Jennifer used to joke about getting breast implants. They were on the leaner side which meant everything about them was toned but small. Thalia's bust had only gotten bigger when she got pregnant. After that, her breasts went back to their normal size A. Truth be told, she'd once considered having them done. But Gideon had convinced her she was beautiful and didn't need any work done. That fucking liar. With a mistress like Natalia, why would he care about his wife? She remembered t

Her eyes widened. What was he talking about? What deal did he have with Natalia? She'd thought it was strange how he hung up on her last night without even asking who she was. Afraid that Dominic might be spying on her on the phone he bought her, she'd used Natalia's old phone to call him. But Thalia assumed it was because of the time. After all, she'd waited until a few minutes to midnight before telling Dominic. Then she'd called Tanner right after but he hadn't wanted to listen to her. Then again, he didn't know her. Why would he listen to anything she said? Except Tanner was smart. The moment she mentioned Orlando, he should have asked her how she knew about him. He should have called to check in on his only witness. But he hadn't. Which was why he'd gone there to ask her where they'd taken him. His response from last night came back to her. He hadn't asked who she was or why she had called him. His response had been "Are you kidding me?" She blinked back tears when he tightene
