Chapter 967


    The expected pain never came. Thssa’s eyes snapped open to meet Bruce’s brooding re, a mix


    of dread and malevolence.


    His phone had been ringing incessantly in his hand, but he never picked up.


    As the ringing stopped on its own, he quickly powered off the phone, his gaze shifting to Thssa with


    a ferocity that made her blood run cold. He pointed at her, teeth clenched, and hissed a venomous


    threat, “Not a word about how you got here, not to anyone, especially not to Lysander. Otherwise, that


    video of your mother, the one where she’s writhing in pleasure under me, will go viral on every social


    media tform. I bet she’d be quite the hit as a star of that sort of film!”


    His face contorted in a menacing grimace as he spat out the words.


    Thssa felt her teeth grinding in fury..


    With his piece said, Bruce lingered no longer. He turned on his heel and left the room, leaving Thssa


    alone with her rage. Despite the visceral desire to keep her, he knew he had to release her for now. But


    he wasn’t worried; he had leverage. Struggling to rise from the bed, Thssa staggered to the door.


    Her hands were bound behind her back, making the simple task of turning the knob a feat of


    desperation. Just as her fingers grazed the handle, the door swung open from the outside. Her heart


    clenched in terror, and she instinctively lunged for the exit.


    “Whoa there, darling, where do you think you’re going?” A burly man blocked her path, shoving the


    onrushing Thssa back into the room with brute force.


    The man was the sleazy character who had just been dealing with Bruce.


    Thssa’s eyes widened in fear as she backed away, but the man licked his lips, inching closer with a


    predatory grin. “Bruce left you all alone, such a shame to waste a beauty like you.”


    Her eyes grew wider still as panic set in.


    He moved closer, his interest piqued. “Tonight, you’re mine. And I’ll be good to you,” he murmured,

    advancing on Thssa. “Ah!” Thssa’s scream was a muffled cry of terror.


    In her moment of despair, another man burst through the door, yanking the sleazy creep away from


    her.


    “Thssa, it’s you!” Callum barged in, tossing the man aside with shock and surprise at finding her in


    such a state.


    “Damn you, meddling with my affairs, you’re a dead man!” The sleazy man recovered and charged at


    Callum with a snarl.


    Callum’s foot shot out,nding a precise blow to the man’s gut.


    “Ah!” The assant crashed against the wall with a cry of agony.


    Callum stood tall,manding, “Get out!”


    Realizing he was no match, the man scrambled away in defeat.


    Callum hurried over, ripping the tape from Thssa’s mouth and untying the ropes that bound her


    hands.


    Freed, Thssa’s legs nearly gave way from the sheer terror, but Callum caught her just in time.


    “Easy!”


    At that moment, a chilling presence filled the room as a stern man, nked by a team of bodyguards,


    broke through the door.
