Evelyn settled into the car seat, her heart pounding as David turned the ignition and the vehicle smoothly transitioned onto the asphalt
She stole a glance at Lysander’s intimidating profile, hesitating for what seemed like an eternity, unsure how to broach the topic. Lysander was an imposing man, his mere presence enough to instill panic, even when he uttered not a single word. No wonder Thalassa couldn’t escape his grasp.
It took every ounce of courage for Evelyn to finally speak up. “Lysander, | came here to tell you a truth. Thalassa isn’t Bruce’s daughter.”
Those words seemed to suck the air out of the car, dropping the temperature several notches.
She paused, too afraid to continue, waiting for Lysander’s response.
Suddenly, the car jerked to a stop; David had slammed on the brakes.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Sinclair.” he apologized promptly, his attention having lapsed at the revelation, missing the traffic light ahead. Lysander’s handsome face was a mask of tension, his mood as foreboding as the calm before a blizzard.
His eyes shimmered with an icy glow.
“What did you say?” Lysander’s voice was a cold whisper, tinged with barely perceptible agitation.
David knew better than to speak. He knew the question was meant for Evelyn in the backseat.
She shivered under Lysander’s chilly aura and stammered, “I... | was with Bruce years ago, but when I discovered his infidelities, | left him without a second thought.”
Evelyn paused, trying to read Lysander’s reaction. His chiseled profile gave away nothing but seemed to radiate a frost that could freeze the very air around them.
With trepidation, she continued, “After we split, | was so angry, | went out drinking with my best friend. | got so drunk that some guy took me home, and by the time | woke up... we’d slept together. Thalassa was conceived that night. She’s that man’s daughter, not Bruce’s.” “I didn’t tell you before because | was ashamed of my mistake, afraid Thalassa would blame me. But two months ago, she found out she wasn’t Bruce’s child herself. It was when Bruce needed a blood transfusion after an injury, and Thalassa was ready to donate, but their blood types didn’t match. That's when she realized Bruce couldn't be her father.”
Evelyn could feel the tension escalating in the car.
