The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 548

His eyes were long and narrow with the corners slightly upturned, full of charm and allure. His looks were so captivating that one could not look away.

"Alaric!" Hertha cried out with excitement.

At her most vulnerable, the man she loved descended like a knight in shining armor.

In Hertha's eyes, Alaric seemed to be glowing. He lit up her world and ignited her heart.

Alaric spared Hertha only a glance, his icy gaze landing on the young man. "I gave you a chance earlier," he growled, "You didn't take it. It's time you learned your place!"

The young man was the one who had been making advances on Thalassa earlier.

He prepared to lash out, but shrank back in fear once he recognized Alaric.

He kept bowing and apologizing profusely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Falconer. I didn't know who she was. I'll disappear right now and you won't see me again..."

"Out!" Alaric growled.

The young man scampered away, tripping over himself in his haste.

"Alaric, you're so cool," Hertha sighed dreamily, her hands under her chin as she watched him.

She had been smitten with Alaric from their first meeting, and now that he had come to her rescue, her admiration only intensified.

Her eyes sparkled with admiration; her heart completely captivated by him.

Alaric glanced back at Hertha, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips at her adoring expression,"I've never seen a woman drooling over men that much." he sneered, "You really like this kind of man?"

Hertha had been quite forward with him earlier and even dared to touch his abs. That had left him, a seasoned bachelor, blushing.

It seemed that when women became enamored, men became irrelevant.

Hertha blinked, her round eyes wide as she took in Alaric's scornful expression.
