The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Susan could feel the icy chill radiating off Lysander, immediately realizing she had crossed a line. Even in her rage, she shouldn't have cursed Lysander with such a dark fate. It wasn't just about cursing him; it was about her own safety, too.

Susan's eyes darted around, her previously bold aura shrinking away, leaving her looking somewhat guilty. "I didn't mean it. Everyone knows you were trapped under rubble three years ago and ended up in a coma. I just lost my temper and spoke without thinking."

As she spoke, Susan was already dragging her child back toward the room. With air mattresses laid out below, even if she jumped with her child, it wouldn't threaten Joshua anymore. With a tough guy like Lysander around, she wasn't going to gain any advantages.

Susan offered up an explanation, but the dark, ominous look in Lysander's eyes didn't soften. Yet, he didn't move, just stood at the doorway, watching Susan's actions.

The child, terrified, had gone limp in Susan's grasp, and she was barely holding him securely, as if he might slip and fall at any moment. Thalassa's heart was in her throat, sweating bullets for the child.
