“Looks like you’ve got yourself in hot water with your girlfriend, huh? Gonna chase after her and
smooth things over.” Ethan strolled over, leaning against the fence beside Lysander and watching
Thalassa’s retreating figure.
He teased with a grin, “When she called you her coach earlier, you two seemed pretty chummy. What
happened, she beats Susan at mini-golf and suddenly it’s goodbye Mr. Nice Guy? Are all women that
fickle? Give me the lowdown so I can just give up on love already.”
As Ethan spoke, he nudged Lysander’s arm and looked at him sideways.
Lysander turned. His gaze was sharp and piercing as a gust of cold wind whipped around
Ethan.
Feeling the intensity of Lysander’s presence, Ethan quickly held up three fingers in a mock surrender,
“Forget I said anything.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLysander cast a fierce look at Ethan and strode away.
Ethan let out a long breath and patted his chest, muttering to himself, “All talk and no game, man. If
you’re gonna play, at least play for keeps.”
He was curious about Lysander’s secrets, but he knew those weren’t the kind of stories you could just
pry into without consequence.
The golf course was expansive, and it took Thalassa a good fifteen minutes to reach the clubhouse
entrance, with its imposing step. She was so focused on the ground that she didn’t see the person in
front of her and accidentally kicked his leg – the same leg that was clearly injured and propped up by
crutches.
“Ouch!” a pained voice exclaimed.
Instantly looking up, Thalassa apologized, “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. I wasn’t looking-”
One foot still inside, the other stepping out, she reached out to help the person she had inadvertently
hurt. Then she recognized him and a look of surprise and delight crossed her face. “Callum, it’s you!”
she exclaimed
As she spoke, her hand steadied his arm. She was guilt-ridden that her inattention might have caused
him more pain.
Callum, hearing the familiar voice, focused his gaze and saw Thalassa. A relieved smile broke across
his gentle features, “Thalassa, what a coincidence.”
“Totally,” she replied, her hand still on his arm. Her eyes dropped to his leg encased in a cast and
suspended slightly off the ground to avoid contact.
“Your leg…” Thalassa’s breath hitched. Her tone was heavy with regret.

She remembered clearly the day Lysander had found her and the child and taken them away by
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhelicopter. She had heard Callum’s cries of pain as Lysander’s bodyguard had beaten him.
His leg must have been injured by Lysander’s bodyguard then.
“I’m so sorry; this is all my fault,” Thalassa said as shame and apology etched in her voice. If she
hadn’t asked Callum to help her escape, he wouldn’t be in this condition.
Callum, seeing the worry furrowing her brow, maintained his gentle and calming demeanor, “It’s alright.
It’ll heal with time. Don’t blame yourself, or everything I’ve done would be for nothing.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t stay with Lysander forever. I’ll find a way to leave him,” Thalassa assured Callum
with determination.
No sooner had she spoken than the air around them seemed to shift, a chill creeping in as if an
unwelcome presence had drawn near.
