The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1944

Lysander's gaze remained fixed on David, silently urging him to continue his tale. The mention of Callum didn't seem to stir much surprise in Lysander; his expression barely changed.

Clearing his throat, David resumed, "Susan went off the rails three years ago. She found Callum and convinced him to lend her a plane and some explosives. Callum even hooked her up with a flight instructor, who crash-coursed her into piloting. Susan flew straight to Hollowbrook. Thalassa's place towers over Hollowbrook, making it quite the conspicuous target for Susan's planned strike."

"She bombed Thalassa's home and then fled in the plane, only to crash land it using the emergency eject. Following the incident, Zephyr got the cops to investigate, but Callum had interfered, leading them to conclude it was an accidental crash that destroyed Thalassa's home—a tragic misdirection."

David laid out the entire investigation's findings to Lysander. The revelation shocked David. He hadn't expected that Callum, the cause behind Lysander's three-year coma and his current inability to stand, would be capable of such treachery.

David had always seen Callum as a gentle, jovial gentleman who, despite his affections for Thalassa, seemed above resorting to such lowly tactics. He believed Callum would assist Thalassa in fleeing from Lysander, taking her and her child along with her mother abroad, all to free Thalassa from Lysander's clutches.

Yet, it turned out Callum was far from the benign figure he appeared to be, harboring a darkness that rivaled Susan's.

Lysander closed the file, his aura as chilling as winter frost. "Notify Captain Payne. It's time for an arrest," Lysander spoke with concise, authoritative force.

"Right away, I'll call Captain Payne now," David nodded, exiting the office.
