The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1351

Lysander stood motionless as he watched Thalassa's slight figure disappear into the house. Deep sorrow settled in his dark, fathomless eyes, like the abyss itself pulling him under.

When she turned cold, she was truly ruthless, leaving no room for mercy.

They all said he was cold-hearted, but in front of Thalassa, he held out his burning heart, only for her to douse it with chilling indifference. His fiery heart now bore the scars of her rebuff.

She had even threatened her own life in her desperation to avoid him. She knew exactly how to press his buttons, aware of what mattered to him the most.

The old Lysander took advantage of her resilience, which allowed him to control and punish her fearlessly.

Because he knew, she wouldn't give up no matter how he acted. No matter the hardship, she'd survive and come back the next day as the same optimistic woman, unbowed and unbroken.

But now, everything had changed.

He didn't dare take the risk.

Thalassa had lost too much, her emotions teetering on the edge of a precipice. Pushing her too far might indeed be the end of her.

He preferred her alive and away from him rather than not existing at all.

Watching Thalassa enter the house, Lysander returned to his car and drove away.

Inside, four children still sat at the breakfast table. All but Elowen picked at their food listlessly, their appetites gone. They had just witnessed a serious argument between their parents.

Worried about the possibility of their parents splitting up, they dreaded the thought of not seeing them together, basking in the warmth of their love.

As they pondered how to mend the rift, Atticus looked up to find Thalassa walking in. His gaze brightened, and he immediately dropped his fork and ran to her.
