The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 969

The chill in the air was enough to freeze a soul in place.

Callum faced him squarely and said, "Do you have any idea what Thalassa just went through? She was kidnapped, nearly destroyed. If I hadn't arrived in the nick of time, she'd be ruined by now!"

His expression darkened as he addressed Lysander.

Lysander’s gaze swept the room, catching sight of the discarded ropes and the tape that had been used to silence her.

Tightening his hold around Thalassa's waist, he gritted his teeth and said to Callum, "Quite the coincidence, you being here. I'll be looking into this, rest assured!"

With that, he turned, Thalassa in tow.

Coming back to her senses, Thalassa, though weak, tried to push away from Lysander's firm grip around her waist.

"Let go of me. I can walk on my own."

Lysander's grip tightened slightly, and he gave her a piercing, icy look that could stop anyone dead in their tracks.

His eagle-like gaze was sharp enough to cleave through Thalassa's resolve.

She faltered, all the grievances she held bottled up inside, unable to voice her pain or vent her frustrations.

Exiting the hotel room with Thalassa, Lysander commanded his bodyguard, "Lock down all the exits. Everyone gets searched. The kidnapper does not get away with this!"

"Understood!" the bodyguard replied, taking the order.

Lysander's men, demonstrating remarkable efficiency, promptly closed off all exits at the hotel. The hotel manager, visibly anxious, approached, awaiting Lysander’s instructions.
