The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1194

Thalassa and Hertha were scared out of their wits, gasping for air as panic took hold. Hertha had slammed on the brakes with all her might, her body rigid with tension.

The car continued to skid forward, on a collision course with disaster, but the woman standing defiantly in front of them, arms wide, showed no intention of moving. Resigned, she closed her eyes and stood her ground.

Miraculously, the car screeched to a halt mere inches from the woman. The abrupt stop sent Thalassa and Hertha lurching forward, nearly launching them through the windshield if not for their seat belts snapping them back into place.

After a few shaky breaths, they settled back into their seats, hearts still racing.

Thalassa, still reeling from the shock, peered ahead to see a middle-aged lady dressed to the nines, exuding wealth and propriety. She certainly didn’t appear to be unhinged.

Yet, they had no idea who this woman was or why she would risk her life to stop their car.

As Thalassa puzzled over the situation, the woman opened her eyes, visibly shaken by the proximity of death. Without a moment's hesitation, she strode to the passenger door and began pounding frantically.

Thalassa could see the urgency in the woman's eyes as she knocked, so she rolled down the window.

With a voice thick with desperation, the woman said, “You must be Thalassa; I've seen your picture. I know my daughter has done wrong, but she's so young, blinded by love for a man, which led her astray. You're safe now, and I beg you to forgive her, to drop this matter. Please, I'm begging you.”

Her plea was fervent, her emotions raw.
