The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 534

Thalassa hailed a cab and made her way to the prestigious Royal Estates.

Security was tight at the gates. Two guards stood watch.

Thalassa, as she always had, intended to walk right in. She aimed to appear casual, to exude an air of belonging.

But when she reached the entrance, she was stopped by the guards.

"You can't go in," one stated.

Thalassa halted, raising her chin defiantly. "Do you know who I am? I'm a friend of your boss, Lysander. He has always allowed me free access. He won't be happy if he finds out you've stopped me."

"Ms. Everhart," the guard replied politely yet firmly, "I'm sorry, but Lysander has ordered that you are not to enter."

Thalassa's feigned bravado diminished. It was clear the guards knew who she was and wouldn't be fooled.

But she missed her children terribly.

"I understand," she said, her tone pleading. "You're just doing your job. But it's urgent that I get inside. Could you at least inform him that I'm waiting here? Perhaps he might be willing to see me today."

The guard seemed hesitant.

Thalassa gave him a pitiful look that tugged at his heartstrings. Seeing her understanding of his position, he agreed to pass along the message.

Inside the Royal Estates, in the living room, three little ones sat on one side of the dining table. An array of delicious cuisines lay before them. Elowen was drooling, but her siblings were not eating.
