The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1341

And Thalassa's mother was the key witness, as Bruce had once swindled billions from Evelyn.

By chance, Evelyn came to him that day, revealing that Thalassa was actually not Bruce's daughter. The news was like a ray of light piercing through the dark storm clouds of his rage and bitterness.

In that moment, he decided he would marry Thalassa! He would never let her go for as long as he lived.

She was carrying his child, and was already the mother of his four other children. For this life, he only had the intense desire to keep Thalassa by his side forever.

Leopold was gone, no longer a threat to him, and Thalassa wasn't Bruce's daughter. He had no reason not to marry her.

And the most important thing was that he loved her, and he wanted to make her his wife.

Whether she agreed or not was irrelevant. The desire to make her his was his alone.

Lysander's sleek black Rolls-Royce made its way straight to Thalassa's home.

Thalassa and the children were seated around the dining table enjoying a meal, having just endured a nasty exchange with Isabella, who Thalassa had sent away with some sharp words.

Now, harmony was restored to the household as they ate, until someone entered through the door.

This person brought with them a chill that seemed to spread through the room.

Thalassa, thinking it was Isabella returning to annoy her again, spun around in irritation. "Can't you take a hint and leave us alone?"

But before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Susan, who was decked out in heavy makeup, dressed in shorts and a belly-baring top.

Thalassa paused mid-sentence.

Susan's trendy outfit was the epitome of urban glitz and glamour, completely out of place amid the pastoral serenity of the countryside.
