The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

"Alaric is leagues ahead of you in the looks department, and don't you forget it," Kimberly declared.

Hertha bristled at the comment. "Mom, whose side are you on anyway?"

"What do you mean 'whose side'? He's family, isn't he?" Kimberly retorted.

Hertha was momentarily lost for words. Well, she and Alaric were married now, officially a family. But they had only just tied the knot, and here was her mother, already taking Alaric's side and criticizing her own daughter. No doubt about it, she was a true mom.

"Stop daydreaming and come help me with dinner," Kimberly said.

After a couple of days of rest, Thalassa's injuries had significantly improved. It was only when she called the police station that she found out Callum was being held on kidnapping charges, awaiting trial. That meant since his arrest, Callum had been in custody.

The thought of Callum facing trial stirred a mix of emotions in Thalassa. Callum had done wrong and deserved to face the

Given the severity of her offenses, Susan was sentenced to life imprisonment. This meant she would spend the rest of her days behind bars. Thalassa found some sotace in this outcome. Susan deserved to be locked away forever. She was inherently malicious, and incarceration meant she could no longer harm others. A woman who could abandon, exploit, and even endanger her own child for personal gain was devoid of conscience. Everything she did was for her own benefit. Life imprisonment was the most fitting punishment for her.

company. His new venture was thriving, and as it was still in its early days, it demanded much of his attention. Thus, Lysander had been quite busy lately. Thalassa

remembered intending to registo

their marriage with Lysander, only to realize she had left her official documents back in Hollowbrook. She had planned to retrieve them, but after being kidnapped by Callum and sustaining injuries, she couldn't make the trip. Now that she was nearly healed, Thalassa decided to go back to Hollowbrook herself to get the documents. She wanted to marry Lysander as soon as possible.
