âHoly cow, your man is here.â Hertha felt the powerful aura too, gripping Thalassaâs arm tightly, whispering in awe.
Thalassa said nothing, standing her ground, her eyes filled with apprehension as she watched Lysander approach.
âYou didnât call him yesterday, yet he knew you were at the beach. I didnât see you call him today either, yet heâs found you again. How? Hertha pressed herself against Thalassa nervously, whispering in her ear.
She was genuinely curious.
IG I F How could one person know so much?
Thalassa said nothing, glancing down at the necklace she wore.
Hertha picked up on her subtle movement, and followed her gaze, spotting the cloud pendant necklace hanging from her neck.
This necklace was the same one she had seen before with Thalassa, the one emitting a glow from the pendant that contained a tracking device.
Hertha suddenly understood.
No wonder Lysander knew Thalassaâs every move. He had her under his complete control!
It was terrifying. There was no privacy whatsoever.
âAre you not coming over?â Lysanderâs voice, low and icy, rang out.
Thalassaâs pupils flickered, her hands clenched at her sides. She wanted to refuse him, but with Hertha there, she couldnât risk Lysanderâs anger spilling onto her.
She pulled her arm from Herthaâs grip and walked towards Lysander.
âThalassaâ¦â Hertha called out in worry.
Thalassa turned back, reassuring her, âHertha, itâs late. You should go rest. The bar district is too dangerous. Letâs not go there anymore.â Her words, of course, were for Lysanderâs ears, to let him know she wouldnât be going to the bar again.
âAlright, you should rest too. Call me if you want to go shopping.â Hertha said.
âOkay,â Thalassa replied, turning back and walking to Lysander.
Lysander grabbed her hand and led her away from the mall, his actions decisive and indisputable.
After helping Thalassa into the car, he got in himself.
The driver drove away, and the car smoothly navigated the asphalt road.
Lysanderâs presence was overwhelming and icy, stifling the air around them. Thalassa kept her gaze fixed on the window, while Lysanderâs deep eyes remained on her, icy and penetrating, sending chills down her spine.
She appeared calm, but her heart was pounding with anxiety.
âAvoiding me, are you?â Lysander turned her face towards him, his rough palm exuding a powerful masculinity.
Forced to confront his stern, cold face, Thalassaâs pupils flickered, knowing this, was not the time to provoke him.
She said, âNo.â
âReally?â Lysanderâs thumb gently brushed her delicate chin.
Thalassa felt the imminent danger, like she was a prey being licked by a lion in the jungle.
She held her breath, her heartbeat slowing down, not daring to make a sound, fearing to anger him and reveal his wild nature.
He has done things to her in the car before.
For a man like Lysander, no place could deter him from his prey.
âYou claimed not to go to Royal Estates, and not wanting to see the kids anymore, didnât you?â
Lysanderâs icy and imposing presence loomed over Thalassa, searing and perilous.
Thalassaâs pupils contracted, her heart thumped. She grabbed Lysanderâs hand that was holding her chin. âNo, how could I not want to see the kids? I just havenât hung out with Hertha in a while and wanted to catch up today. You shouldnât overthink things.â
