The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Just picturing that scene would make one cringe like crazy.

The whole afternoon, Thalassa Everhart was running around like a headless chicken.

Finally, when it was time to knock off, she packed up her cleaning tools and was ready to call it a day.

She took the bus home every day, and today was no different. She stood across the street waiting for the bus, but it seemed to be running late. She had already been waiting for half an hour, and it was still a no-show.

Her phone started ringing. It was her mother, Evelyn

She answered, “What’s up, mom?”

“Weren’t you supposed to come home and explain things to me? Why aren’t you home yet? Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?” Evelyn was clearly getting impatient, firing off questions as soon as Thalassa picked up.

A bit exasperated, Thalassa responded, “I’m on my way home. I’ll be there in a bit. Just hang tight.”

With that, she hung up.

The bus was still nowhere in sight, but a taxi happened to pull up beside her. Without thinking twice, and without getting a good look at who the driver was, she hopped in, giving the driver her home address.

Without any further ado, the driver stepped on the gas, and they were off, moving at a speedy clip.

Just then, Lysander happened to be driving home. He saw Thalassa get into a taxi, and the driver, to his surprise, was John!

Lysander’s eyes flashed with anger. He knew Thalassa well enough to know that she was a master manipulator, using her charms to get whatever she wanted, and never leaving any stone unturned.

She tried desperately to get him to stop the car, but he only drove faster. He even drove straight into the underground parking lot of the hotel.

The moment the car came to a halt, Thalassa quickly pushed the door open and tried to make a run for it.

“Where do you think you’re going!” She didn’t get very far before John grabbed her and started dragging her towards the elevator.

“Ah, let me go, uh… Thalassa screamed in fear, but the next instant, her mouth was muffled by a piece of cloth.
