The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1024

Evelyn's gaze was fixated on the man's retreating figure as he slipped into a room. The door was left ajar; he seemed to have forgotten to shut it.

His silhouette vanished from Evelyn's sight, snapping her out of her trance. She turned on her heel and continued down the hallway in search of room 2809.

She hadn't taken more than a few steps when a commotion erupted behind her. Glancing back, she saw a woman in a garish outfit stumbling out of a room — directly opposite to the one the man had entered.

The woman's attire was both flashy and seductive, her nervousness betraying her as her breast tapes almost fell. She was quite the sight, with her breasts practically on display.

Evelyn recognized her instantly despite the layered make up.

It was Susan! She was Bruce and Lucy's daughter, who had come to Evelyn's place with her mother, all high and mighty, to pick a fight!

Evelyn was truly enraged as she saw her.

She was about to confront her, ready to settle old scores.

Before she could approach, Susan, flushed and panting, clutched the hem of her dress and darted into the room opposite — the very same one the man had entered.

Susan was desperate to soothe her physical urges with a man. But Lysander, not only cast her out but also kicked her brutally. Her soul felt as though it might split from the pain.

If she couldn't have Lysander, she would settle for Joshua!

This man was Lysander's business partner, so he surely would not be lack in wealth or power. Despite being older, he was easy on the eyes.

Seizing Joshua wouldn't be a loss for her.

Without hesitation, Susan entered Joshua's room.

Evelyn froze and was shocked as she watched Susan slip into the room.

What was Susan doing in there with that man? Could it be that she was...

Evelyn crept closer and craned her neck to catch a glimpse inside the room.

But she couldn't see anything with the entryway blocking the view.

"Get out!" An explosive growl, seething with anger and intimidation, struck her ears like the roar of a lion.

Evelyn recoiled. Her mind reeled as she bolted toward the elevator, and her heart pounded with fear.

Thankful she could recognize the voice as a man's — and as Lysander's; otherwise, she might have thought there was a beast ready to devour her lurking in that room.

She stepped into the elevator and frantically pressed the close button as if a single second's delay would cost her life.

As the doors slid shut. Evelyn pressed the button for the ground floor and patted her chest to quell the adrenaline.

Was Lysander also in 2809? Could Thalassa be with him?

Then why did Susan run out of their room?

Evelyn's mind swirled with questions, none of which she could answer.

She had come to the hotel seeking Thalassa, but instead, she found herself witness to a skin-crawling scene and terrified by Lysander, from which her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.
