“Look, whether I spill the beans or zip it, that’s my call. And who the hell are you to question me?” Callum shot back
with a challenging glare.
The hotel manager, fuming by now, squared up to him. “I may not have a say in your business, but make no
mistake-you’re not dragging me down wit you. You’re not walking out of here today, not on my watch!”
“That’s where you’re wrong,” Callum replied coolly.
Without another word, he turned his back on the manager and strode toward the exit.

clenched in anger, he resembled a bull about to charge, eyes locked on Callum, ready for a showdown.
As Callum approached, the manager let out a guttural roar and lunged forward, aiming to tackle him to the ground.
However, Callum’s foot shot out before he could close in, landing a solid kick to the manager’s gut. The hefty man
flew backward, landing with a thud 1 echoed through the lobby, pain etched across his face.
Callum cast a brief, intimidating glance at the security guards rushing towards him. They immediately halted in
their tracks, exchanging worried looks, unsure whether to proceed. After all, they were just hired hands making a
modest wage, and risking their lives wasn’t in the job description.
Shaking off the confrontation, Callum walked away, his tall frame disappearing out of the hotel.
It took the manager some time to get back on his feet, the pain in his abdomen radiating down to his legs, making
them tremble uncontrollably. He watched helplessly as Callum left, frustrated and worried about what secrets might
be revealed about his establishment.
After feeling the force of that kick, he knew he was no match for Callum.
Lysander led Thalassa onto the helicopter, and only then did she realize he had arrived by air.
The engine roared to life, the sound reverberating across the open fields, bending the plants around them in the
wake of the powerful gusts.
As they lifted off, Thalassa felt her heart leap into her throat, fear gripping her as she instinctively grabbed
Lysander’s arm.

pretending nothing had happened. Lysander simply watched her for a moment before looking ahead again.
From the helicopter, Thalassa saw a line of black vehicles driving away, all belonging to Lysander’s entourage of
bodyguards. How many people had he brought with him? Was it all for her?
The show of force both shocked and comforted Thalassa. Even though Lysander didn’t love her, he always
appeared when she was in danger. Yet his coldness and ruthlessness were suffocating.
About ten minutes later, they landed on the Sinclair Group’s rooftop helipad.
