The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

"I just can't keep my mouth shut." Georgia had finally found a topic that would equally torment both Hertha and Alaric. How could she possibly let this moment slip away?

"You were all over me back then, I couldn't even push you away. You whispered my name, Georgia, in bed, promising me the world," Georgia spun her tale right there, aiming to infuriate Hertha. Before she could finish, Alaric had grabbed her arm and dragged her outside.

Once outside, Alaric released her arm as if touching her any longer would somehow taint him.

Alaric glared at Georgia, his warning clear and sharp, "Georgia, I'm warning you, stop spreading lies or you'll regret it!"

Georgia looked up to see his eyes, blazing red with anger, and beneath that, a hint of anxiety.
