The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1159

"Every morning at that same ungodly hour, I'd be there on the bus, waiting for you. And today, you finally showed up," Debby said when she tossed the cap of the water bottle away, standing in front of Thalassa and lifting the bottle high as she began to douse her with gasoline.

The biting stench of fuel assaulted Thalassa's senses, almost suffocating her as the liquid soaked through her clothes, sending a shiver of cold through her muscles.

She clenched; fear and scare had occupied her mind.

"Debby, stop this madness," Thalassa pleaded with a trembling voice. "If I die, you can’t escape this as well. The cops will be all over you in no time..."

"I'll go with you then. What's death to be feared if one you love the most has gone?" Debby answered.

"But think of your parents, your siblings, and your friends who care about you..." Thalassa tried to reach into Debby's dwindling grasp on life. As long as she had someone to care for, she wouldn’t go extreme.

She's clearly trying to die with Thalassa.

But Thalassa couldn't afford to die now. She carried a new life within her; this wasn't just about her anymore. Two lives would be gone if she’s dead.

And she had four little angels at home who needed their mother. Also, she had her own mother to take care of. Her mother would be so agonized if she’s dead.

"Parents?" Debby scoffed and lowered her voice. "They'd rather see me chained in a loveless marriage. I refuse to rot in that prison..."

Getting married to someone she didn't love was just another form of imprisonment which led to a life sentence to unhappiness.

Her heart had died with Leopold, and what remained was a walking corpse.

As Debby finished her grim speech, she had emptied the bottle on Thalassa and discarded it with a clatter on the ground.
