Chapter 1091


    Lysander wielded a formidable force, his power and influence far surpassing her capacity to challenge.


    Every attempt to stand against him left her battered and bruised. Her only recourse was to humble


    herself and plead for her mother''s safety.


    With all her might, she guarded a secret desperately, as if she had spun a cocoon to protect herself


    and her mother within its silken threads. However, Lysander effortlessly tore through its fragile shell,


    leaving her exposed and vulnerable, as if caught in the harsh re of a spotlight- naked and


    defenseless.


    His gaze bore into her- a chilling blend of beauty and severity, as if he could peer into the very depths

    of her soul through the windows of her clear, frightened eyes. Thssa''s heart fluttered with panic, her


    breath trembling as despair took hold. Then, breaking the silence, Lysander''s voice, deep and


    resonant, entered the scene.


    "I could keep your secret," he said, "but what''s in it for me?"


    Thssa blinked, her gaze locking onto his - a collision with his deep, probing eyes that seemed to


    threaten to swallow her whole.


    Her heart skipped a beat at his insatiable look, well aware of the predatory hunger it disguised. With


    her pulse erratic, she swallowed hard, feeling the air around her grow colder as she spoke, "I could


    bear you a child. Isn''t that benefit enough?"


    "I''m talking about right now," he growled, his Adam''s apple bobbing with the gravel in his voice.


    Understanding his meaning, Thssa knew it was better to steer the situation than to let him take the


    reins in a frenzy. Straightening up, she pressed a brief, deliberate kiss on his lips and pushed away,


    "There''s your benefit."


    Before she could retreat, Lysander''s firm grip encased the back of her head, tilting her face up for


    another forceful kiss. His lips imed hers with fervor.


    "Mmm..." Her breath was stolen as his lips locked onto hers, sending electric shivers through her


    senses. His breath, hot andmanding, filled her lungs, owning her every inhtion.


    The kiss was intense and wild, as if he wished to meld her into his very being.


    Initially, Thssa thought to resist, but as oxygen grew scarce and her mind foggy, her body softened,


    sumbing to his will.


    Lysander''s kisses softened until she gasped for air, and only then did he release her. His lips grazed


    her ear in a whisper, "There''s no need to hide from me."


    His breath was hot and domineering against her skin, causing her to shrink away with a ticklish shiver.


    Instinctively, her arms wrapped around him, her voice quivering, "I had no choice."


    His moist lips trailed from her ear down to her reddened lips, teasing, lingering.


    His voice, raspy like the tide, broke the silence, "Your mother and Bruce were always entwined in such


    affairs. Why the desperate secrecy?"


    His words snapped Thssa back to reality, her hazy gaze snapping open, heart sinking.


    A cold dread spread from within, her limbs chilling.


    Lysander genuinely believed that her mother and Bruce had always shared such a rtionship,


    considering whatever happened to be the consequences of their own actions.


    Deep down, he scorned and ridiculed her mother.


    Thssa cupped his face, gently pushing him away to halt his advances. Her eyes, now lucid and filled


    with sorrow, met his.


    "The child within me is fragile, and I must avoid any further tumult. Please, go back to the little ones


    waiting for you."
