The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1019

She couldn't take the risk.

So, she couldn't let Lysander come home with her.

"Alright." Thalassa replied. She stepped forward to support Lysander and followed Richard out of the private room. They went towards the elevator that led to the upper floors of the hotel.

The elevator stopped on the 28th floor, and Richard helped Joshua out. A bellboy was already waiting at the elevator doors. "Mr. Richard, here are the key cards for rooms 2806 and 2809."

"Thanks. You may go now." Richard took the key cards from the bellboy and handed one to Thalassa, "Please take Lysander to this room."

Thalassa took it, glanced at the number, and saw it was for room 2809.

She struggled to help Lysander to the door, fumbling with the key card to open it.

Room 2806 was just across from 2809. Richard unlocked his door and helped Joshua inside.

Thalassa, supporting Lysander, noticed his drunkenness had intensified. His steps grew more erratic, and his body started to slump.

She draped his arm over her shoulder, bearing the weight of his body, and staggered into the room. "Easy does it, the bed's just ahead," she said.

As he was dragged inside, his long leg hooked behind him, closing the door—a detail Thalassa missed.

She made it to the bed and was about to gently lower Lysander onto it when the arm around her shoulder suddenly tightened, pulling her neck with a strong, firm grip.

Thalassa spun around and was flung onto the bed, her back hitting the soft mattress and bouncing slightly. Her heart raced, a cry of alarm escaping her as she instinctively tried to turn over. But Lysander's broad chest had pressed down on her before she could move.
