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?

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.
