The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1649

Hertha was scrolling through her news feed when her jaw nearly hit the floor. Without wasting a second, she scrambled for Thalassa's number and called her up, ready to give Lysander a piece of her mind.

Just a few days ago, Thalassa had been telling her how Lysander had called off his engagement with Rosalind, and how it wasn’t Lysander who had kicked Thalassa out of the Royal Estates. The misunderstanding was cleared, and Lysander even confessed his feelings to Thalassa.

And now, Lysander was announcing his engagement to Rosalind?

Was he just playing games with Thalassa?

Men are dogs. Not a decent one in the bunch!

Hertha, panicking, tried calling Thalassa, only to find her phone was turned off.

That couldn’t be right; Thalassa never turns off her phone.

After trying again with the same result, Hertha started to worry. She drove over to Thalassa’s place and rang the doorbell for what felt like an eternity, but no one answered.

Something felt off, and Hertha’s worry deepened.

For the past three years, aside from her visits to the Royal Estates to take care of Lysander, Thalassa had always been a homebody. Now, with no reason to visit the Royal Estates, where else could she go?

What if Thalassa had seen the news and done something rash?

The thought sent a shiver of fear through Hertha. She kept ringing the bell, but to no avail.

This was bad. Really bad. When someone who’s usually reachable suddenly isn’t, it’s always a bad sign.

Pacing anxiously at Thalassa’s doorstep, Hertha was at a loss for what to do next or who to turn to for help.

Now with Lysander set to marry Rosalind, the blow to Thalassa must have been devastating.

Hertha was terrified for her friend.

Alaric had been holding a grudge against Hertha for paying more attention to Spencer than to him, but hearing her cry melted his heart instantly. Trying to console her, he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll call Lysander and talk to him. He should know what’s going on.”

After reassuring Hertha, Alaric called Lysander. There was a moment of silence when the call connected.

The first thing Alaric said was straight to the point: “Lysander, is Thalassa with you? Hertha says she’s unreachable, and we’re worried something might have happened to her.”

“Unreachable?” Lysander’s grip on his phone tightened, his brows furrowed, a chill settling around him.
