The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048 

Lysander’s gaze was deep and brooding. A cold, commanding aura emanating from him, silencing the chatter around. 

He ignored Elowen’s small talk; he wasn’t here for sightseeing, and he certainly didn’t believe Thalassa had brought the kids here for a holiday either. 

Little Dorian, who had been engrossed in a model airplane, paused and looked up as Lysander entered. His almond-shaped eyes sparkled like stars, instantly losing interest in the toy plane and dashing toward his father with tiny, hurried steps. 

“Daddy, you’re here!” Dorian ran up to Lysander wrapping his small arms around his other leg, nuzzling his head against him in an affectionate gesture filled with love for his father. 

Atticus walked out of the room, holding Sophia’s hand, his young eyes fixed on Lysander, yet not showing the same excited delight as Elowen and Dorian. 

Atticus’ handsome little face was puffed up, his thoughts unreadable. While Sophia, with her cherubic and adorably cool features, beamed with joy but restrained herself, gazing reservedly at Lysander. 

That was when Evelyn emerged from the room and caught sight of Lysander standing in the hall. She gasped, almost unable to catch her breath. Her heart raced with fear. 

After taking a deep breath, she mustered the courage to speak, her voice trembling, “You… you… you… How did you get here so quickly?” 

She had hoped, as Callum had said, that they were beyond Lysander’s reach and that they could live quietly here. Her dream had barely lasted a few hours before turning into a nightmare. 

Lysander had tracked them down, dropping into the villa as if from nowhere! 

With an icy glance, Lysander silenced Evelyn, who shivered under his gaze and was too frightened to utter another word. 

His presence was overwhelming, not something the average person could contend with. 

Seeing the children and both Thalassa and Evelyn, his anger stirred, barely contained. His glare turned to Callum, who was standing protectively in front of Thalassa. “Move aside!” 

Callum’s heart sank under Lysander’s intimidating presence, but he didn’t budge. He made a promise, and he was committed to helping Thalassa to the end. 

“Lysander, you’re nothing to Thalassa. What right do you have to control her?” Callum held Lysander’s gaze defiantly. 

Lysander’s patience had run dry; he wouldn’t waste any word with Callum. He commanded his bodyguard, “Throw him aside, and break his legs!”

The bodyguard stepped forward forcefully, grabbed Callum, and threw 

Callum, shielding Thalassa, stumbled as he was shoved away. 

Im to the side. 

A path was cleared between her and Lysander. Thalassa’s heart raced with panic, her limbs failing her. 

“Ouch!” A groan escaped Callum as the bodyguard struck. Pain etched in his voice. 

Thalassa’s eyes widened with shock as she rushed to protect Callum, struggling to pull the bodyguard away.
