The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1064

That birth control pill pack was used?

The question from Amelia sent a sudden chill through Lysander; his deep-set eyes darkened, and an icy edge cloaked his aura.

Upon hearing Amelia mention she found a pack of birth control pills at the villa Leopold left behind, Thalassa's nerves tightened, and her heart hitched to her throat.

Damn it, the pills were found!

After she had sent Lysander away earlier, she forgot about the half-empty pack of pills beneath the sofa cushion, which she failed to put away.

And now, Amelia had found them.

Those pills were for her mother, Evelyn, who had been raped by Bruce — a torment that left her shattered. If Evelyn were to get pregnant with Bruce's child, it would only add to her despair.

So, without hesitation, Thalassa bought the pills for Evelyn to prevent a future burden.

But she couldn't have foreseen that Lysander would storm in that very night, furious upon discovering her lies. She hadn't been with her mother’s house-hunting; she had gone to meet Callum in secret.

She met with Callum to learn about Leopold's affairs, and it was that night Callum revealed to her the house she’d sold was now under Leopold’s care. That was because he wanted to provide her with a home in Starhaven.

Callum handed her the mansion’s contract and keys.

Little did she know, her mother would endure such an ordeal that night...

The tension in the hospital room was palpable. The air grew thin, making breathing seem laborious.

Thalassa's heart was fraught with unease. She dared not look at Amelia, and even less so at Lysander. She had once deceived him, claiming the birth control was just a precaution against his unexpected desires.

She had even shown him a buy-one-get-one-free pack of untampered pills to assuage his suspicions.
