The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1038

Lysander's car was roaring towards the Star Harbor Villa. He was only three minutes away from the destination.

Suddenly, the sky was split by the thunderous roar of plane blades slicing through the air.

Glancing up, Lysander caught sight of a sleek black plane ascending higher, heading towards the distant horizon.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened, his foot slammed down on the accelerator. Like an arrow released from its bow, he sped into the villa's courtyard. The yard was barren, devoid of trees and greenery, surrounded by a small path that circled a patch of bare, yellow earth.

The villa itself was plunged into darkness. The gate sealed shut.

Clearly, no one was home.

It was in that escaping plane that Thalassa and the children had been sitting.

Lysander clenched his teeth in fury, his sharp features as cold and hard as carved stone.

"Damn it!" he cursed. His breath was ragged with anger as he pounded the steering wheel.

The car responded with a sharp “beep” of the horn, a sound that seemed almost like a cry of pain.

His eyes burned with barely contained rage as he stared at the closed gate, then he whipped out his phone and dialed David.

"Get a chopper to Star Harbor Villa, and I need ten of our best tech guys here. Hack into the surveillance and track the plane. I want Thalassa found today!" Lysander barked his orders, his voice icy with command.

David paused for a moment. He was shocked by the news that Thalassa had fled again right under Lysander's watchful eye. He couldn't help but admire her audacity.

"Right away." David replied, confirming his understanding of the urgency before hanging up and springing into action.

Back on the plane, Callum was controlling the plane. Thalassa, Evelyn, and the four children, were seating behind him.

The children, experiencing their first plane ride, were as curious and delighted as a bunch of playful monkeys. They were looking around and touching everything in sight.

"Mom, flying is so much fun! Can we please go again?" Dorian asked Thalassa, his face beaming with joy.
