The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 6

A new day was on the roll.

The sun streamed in through the curtains, casting a cozy warmth on Thalassa’s face as she slowly woke up Peeking her eyes open, she found her adorable little munchkins sprawled all over the place next to her.

Atticus, being the cool cat he was, slept in military precision, flat on his back with his little hands folded neatly under his pillow

Dorian, on the other hand, was a ball of energy even in sleep. He was sprawled out, and his chubby little feet were resting on Atticus, with one foot effectively blocking Atticus nostrils.

Clearly, Atticus was having a rough time even while sleeping. His young brows furrowed and looking none too pleased, breathing through his mouth.

Thalassa chuckled at the sight, gently moving Dorian’s foot off of Atticus.

Dorian’s lips moved slightly, as if aware of the disturbance, but he just shifted positions and continued his snooze, undeterred.

Turning her gaze to the side, she spotted Sophia lying at the edge of the bed. Her short hair was boyish, her cherubic face was squished by the bedsheet, and her rosy cheeks were sticking out, smooth as a silk.

Thalassa couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Sophia was the youngest of the bunch and one of the two girls. Normally the youngest kid got the most attention, was the most pampered, and knew all the tricks to be cute. But in her household, it was quite the opposite. Clowen, the older of the two girls, was the one who was all sugar and spice and everything nice

Sophia, though, was more of a tomboy. She loved playing it cool, hated braiding her hair, and preferred rocking a short hairdo with a baseball cap, just like her brothers.

Suddenly, Thalassa had a mini heart attack. Oh crap, where was the fourth one?

She hurriedly got off the bed to look around, when a soft little body on the floor caught her attention. Who else could it be but Elowen?

She was wrapped in a blanket. She had fallen off the bed, slept like a little kitten, and was drooling on the wooden floor, occasionally moving her mouth.
