Chapter 1126
Thssa''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 shes of lightning yed over their entwined bodies.
Now, looking into Lysander''s sharply chiseled face, Thssa''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 Thssa''s face. His powerful presence elerated
her heartbeat and nearly stopped her breath.
His prating gaze locked onto her as he noticed the flush that crept over her cheeks. All of a
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, Thssa''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, Thssa''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
rmed, 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, Thssa 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 n to leave me this time, hmm?" Lysander''s husky voice rumbled against her ear, his
lips grazing her earlobe as a form of punishment.
Thssa''s foggy consciousness began to clear slightly. She gasped lightly, thinking that he surely
heard what she said with Callum.
Thssa 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 alsoced 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 Thssa''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 Thssa''s awareness sharpened, she realized that the misunderstanding between her and
Lysander was as thin as a sheet of ss—if only she could shatter it, everything would be clear.
She had helped Susan get closer to Lysander because Susan had ckmailed her with a video of her
mother. To protect her mother, she had no choice but toply.
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 Thssa 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?"
