The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 470

The journey was smooth sailing.

Upon reaching the office, Lysander headed to his CEO's office and Thalassa returned to her secretary's cubicle.

...

When the clock hit five, Thalassa was eager to clock out.

She was worried about being stopped.

Fortunately, she managed to leave work without any hitches.

She hailed a cab back to her previous apartment complex.

Upon opening the door, she felt that the place was eerily quiet. It lacked the warmth of human presence.

Her lonely heart just sunk deeper.

She missed her little ones, but she had a GPS tracker attached to her.

If she returned and Lysander noticed something amiss, he could ambush her at any moment.

The fear of her children being exposed was far greater than her loneliness.

She walked through the door, dropped her bag, and sprawled herself out on the couch.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang.

It must be a call from Hertha! She thought.

Thalassa was thrilled. She quickly answered without even looking at the caller ID, "Hello, Hertha, are the kids okay?"

"Kids?" A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.

Thalassa was taken aback. She looked at the phone and saw an unfamiliar number.

Assuming it to be a prank call, she was about to hang up.
