The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 747

This meant that no matter where she went, she would be under Lysander’s surveillance.

“Compensating for your lack of caution.” Lysander secured the necklace around her neck before retreating back to his original position. His deep-set eyes were fixed on her.

Thalassa was speechless.

Instead of openly admitting he wanted to monitor her, he framed it as compensating for her lack of caution.

“Are you calling me dumb?” Thalassa glared at him, less than pleased.

Lysander remained silent; his expression was noncommittal.

She had been literally kidnapped by Charlotte in the broad daylight outside the towering skyscraper of the Crawley Group.

“She hired two burly men and they forced me into a car. What could I have done?” Thalassa snapped.

She knew Lysander was referring to the incident where she was kidnapped by Charlotte and almost fell prey to a sinister plot.

What could she, a woman, do against two muscular men?

“Therefore, you need this necklace.” Lysander's deep eyes were calm, his demeanor collected.

Thalassa froze. Was he implying that he would be there in time if she was ever in danger?

But why? Didn’t he despise her?

“You better remember that every inch of you belongs to me. Only I can touch you. If anyone else lays a finger on you, it won't just be you who suffers, but them as well.” Lysander’s handsome face was stern, his declaration absolute.

The tiny spark of hope that had ignited in Thalassa’s eyes was instantly extinguished by his words.

So his possessiveness acted up only because she’s his woman. That was why he would come to her rescue when she was in danger. Nothing more.

“Let's go home. The kids will be going to sleep soon.” Thalassa stood up; her legs were still somewhat wobbly, but she forced herself to stay steady and take one step at a time towards the exit.

“Ah!” Suddenly, she was lifted into the air.

Thalassa instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. His chiseled face was inches from hers, and she could smell the faint scent of sandalwood mixed with a hint of mint tobacco.
