The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1036

Lysander floored the accelerator. His car dashed down the highway like a bullet, hurtling towards Star Harbor Villa.

Meanwhile, Thalassa drove at a more cautious pace. With four kids and Evelyn in tow, she didn’t dare to drive too fast.

They arrived at Star Harbor Villa in good time, and what they found there dropped their jaws.

"Wow, an airplane! A real one!" Dorian's little mouth gaped in astonishment. He had had many toy airplanes before but never seen a real one.

"It's actually real, a real airplane!" Atticus echoed in amazement.

Despite being a whiz on the computer, Atticus had never been up close with an aircraft before. For him, it was like discovering a new world.

"Oh, so this is an airplane." Elowen remarked, her interest more subdued. Mechanical things like planes didn't fascinate her as much as her brothers.

"Is it Daddy? Did Daddy come in the airplane?" Sophia piped up. Her question laden with the innocent hope that their formidable father was the pilot of this impressive machine.

Thalassa’s heart was shaken upon hearing Sophia’s question. She hadn't confirmed if Lysander was the one who had arrived with the airplane, but just the mention of his name sent waves of dread through her.

It dawned on her that only the exceptionally wealthy or influential could afford such luxuries as private planes. And Lysander, with his immense wealth and connections, fit the bill perfectly.

Thalassa had seen Lysander in full force before — descending from a plane with an entourage of bodyguards, an imposing sight to behold. Only someone like Lysander could command such presence.

Her anxiety spiked as she scanned the surroundings for the owner of the aircraft.

"I'm in the plane. Bring the kids up; we're leaving shortly." A man's voice came out from an open window.
