Chapter 1126
Thalassa’s heart was a storm-tossed sea as she gazed up into Lysander’s deep, enigmatic eyes. In
their depths, she could see the swirling tempest of desire he fought to restrain.
It was like that electrifying night five years ago when, amid a symphony of thunder, he pressed her
beneath him and sealed her lips crazily as flashes of lightning played over
their entwined bodies.
Now, looking into Lysander’s sharply chiseled face, Thalassa’s emotions catapulted back. to that night-
she was trembling and panic-stricken, her pulse racing, her body ensnared by an unknown peril.
The only difference was that five years ago, she only faced the peril of her body being conquered. But
now it was her heart.
Lysander’s hot breath brushed incessantly against Thalassa’s face. His powerful presence accelerated
her heartbeat and nearly stopped her breath.

sudden, her feminine scent invaded his senses and brought every cell in his body to life.
His body was beyond his control just like what it did five years ago.
Lysander swallowed hard, leaned down, and captured her lips with precision and force.
“Mmm…” Caught off guard, Thalassa’s eyes widened as his lips melded with hers; a tingling sensation
spread rapidly through her body and turned her blood into honey.
Lysander’s kiss was dominant, intense, a siege upon her senses. Soon, Thalassa’s breathing was
entirely at his mercy. The air thinned around her. With her free hand, she instinctively pushed against
his chest, but the scorching contact made her fingertips twitch and her whole body shudder. Her heart
alarmed, and she hastily retreated her hand
with fear.
Sensing her sensitivity, Lysander’s body ignited with a burning heat. Supporting the back of her head,
he kissed her more fiercely. Their breaths mingled heavily in the charged air.
In no time at all, Thalassa was left dazed and breathless; her mind was a foggy haze struggling for air.
Only then did Lysander release her and let their lips part with a lingering connection. His damp mouth
traced a path along her cheek to the tender skin behind her ear, his breath teasing her and making her
neck twitch. Her breath was so hitched as she gasped for air. “How do you plan to leave me this time,
hmm?” Lysander’s husky voice rumbled against her ear, his lips grazing her earlobe as a form of
punishment.

Thalassa’s foggy consciousness began to clear slightly. She gasped lightly, thinking that he surely
heard what she said with Callum.
Thalassa said, “I thought you and Susan were willing partners, so I felt it would be better off if I stepped
aside for you both.”
She had to admit that her words to Callum were not just well-considered but also laced with spite.
Lysander paused, her words feather-light yet piercing his heart, making it clench.

“Why help her if you were so unwilling?” Lysander murmured against her ear as he kissed it. His
dangerous aura was threatening to invade her at any moment.
The itch behind Thalassa’s ear was intense, but her heart skipped a beat at his question.
Was Lysander asking why she helped Susan get close to him?
As Thalassa’s awareness sharpened, she realized that the misunderstanding between her and
Lysander was as thin as a sheet of glass-if only she could shatter it, everything would be clear.
She had helped Susan get closer to Lysander because Susan had blackmailed her with a video of her
mother. To protect her mother, she had no choice but to comply.
But if she spoke the truth, Lysander would mock and ridicule her mother. That would be another blow to
Evelyn.
Lysander had already scorned her for what he perceived as Evelyn’s lingering attachment to Bruce. If
he learned that Evelyn had been forced by Bruce, he might feel vindicated and that Evelyn deserved it.
As Thalassa wrestled with whether to reveal the truth to him, Lysander’s voice, cold and hoarse, broke
the silence, “You are so eager to escape that you’d push me towards another woman, huh?”
