The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Growing up without a father had always been tough for Thalassa, but losing her dearest mother a few years back was the final blow. Her children were her anchor, yet the Sinclair family had sent them off to a military boarding school, making it impossible for her to see them.

Just when she finally found her father, he poured all his affection into Rosalind, continuously hurting Thalassa without a second thought.

And Lysander, the father of Thalassa's children, who should have been her knight in shining armor, was set to marry her half-sister.

After facing one blow after another, Thalassa was left all alone, now lying on a hospital bed with not a soul in sight to comfort her.
