Chapter 127
Just picturing that scene would make one cringe like crazy.
The whole afternoon, Thalassa Everhart was running around like a headless chicken.
Finally, when it was time to knock off, she packed up her cleaning tools and was ready to call it a day.
She took the bus home every day, and today was no different. She stood across the street waiting for
the bus, but it seemed to be running late. She had already been waiting for half an hour, and it was still
a no-show.
Her phone started ringing. It was her mother, Evelyn
She answered, “What’s up, mom?”
“Weren’t you supposed to come home and explain things to me? Why aren’t you home yet? Are you

Thalassa picked up.
A bit exasperated, Thalassa responded, “I’m on my way home. I’ll be there in a bit. Just hang tight.”
With that, she hung up.
The bus was still nowhere in sight, but a taxi happened to pull up beside her. Without thinking twice,
and without getting a good look at who the driver was, she hopped in, giving the driver her home
address.
Without any further ado, the driver stepped on the gas, and they were off, moving at a speedy clip.
Just then, Lysander happened to be driving home. He saw Thalassa get into a taxi, and the driver, to
his surprise, was John!
Lysander’s eyes flashed with anger. He knew Thalassa well enough to know that she was a master
manipulator, using her charms to get whatever she wanted, and never leaving any stone unturned.
He had already helped her out several times, out of respect for Celia. In his book, he had done his part.
Whatever she wanted to do with any guy was none of his business! That was Lysander’s thinking.
He reached a three way intersection, ready to make a left turn and head home. But then, out of the
corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Thalassa’s taxi heading towards an underground parking lot
of a hotel.
Lysander’s eyes darkened, and a cold aura enveloped him as he clenched his teeth. How could she be
so casual, just going off to a hotel with a man!
Was she really that desperate?
Lysander’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles turning white. His rational mind told him
to let it go, but his emotions were like a wild beast, beyond his control.

of the tires against the road pierced through the air, followed by a puff of smoke He quickly changed
course and sped towards the hotel.
Thalassa started to panic, realizing that the driver was not following the right route. She tried to get his
attention, but he ignored her. It was only then that she recognized the driver as John.
She tried desperately to get him to stop the car, but he only drove faster. He even drove straight into
the underground parking lot of the hotel.
The moment the car came to a halt, Thalassa quickly pushed the door open and tried to make a run for
it.
“Where do you think you’re going!” She didn’t get very far before John grabbed her and started
dragging her towards the elevator.
“Ah, let me go, uh… Thalassa screamed in fear, but the next instant, her mouth was muffled by a piece
of cloth.
