The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1099

“Ain't this plan of yours still up in the air? Don’t get too cocky!"

Thalassa's anger flared in an instant, igniting like a bonfire that had been waiting for a spark. Every slight, every insult she had swallowed over the past weeks blazed into a fury.

Just seeing Susan made her blood boil.

With a sudden move, Thalassa grabbed a fistful of Susan's hair and yanked her down, bending Susan's body further.

"Ow!" Susan screamed, her back feeling like it was about to snap.

Thalassa smacked the other side of Susan's cheek, sending her into a daze.

Thalassa hissed through clenched teeth, "I need to teach you a lesson, or you'll really start thinking you're some kind of royalty!"

Another slap, and Susan's vision started to blur.

"That's for threatening me!"

A third hit landed, and Susan's eyes widened in shock, her whole body throbbing in pain.

"And that's for calling me names!"

Thalassa raised her hand again.

Susan, tears streaming down her face, begged for mercy. "Stop, please stop!"

Her words stepped on Thalassa's rawest nerve. Thalassa lunged at her, grabbing Susan's hair with one hand and squeezing her face with the other, pulling outward.

"Say one more word, and I'll tear that mouth of yours apart!" Thalassa spat out, her rage barely contained.

Susan wasn't just insulting her mother; she was threatening her!

"Ah! Let go, you're going to split my mouth open..." Susan's cheeks were painfully gripped by Thalassa's fierce hands, stretching her mouth so wide it felt like it would tear.

"That mouth of yours never has anything good to come out of it; maybe it would be better torn apart!" Thalassa's grip tightened, her hand shaking with fury.

Her rage had reached its peak.
