The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 422

I would do the same for any stranger in danger, not just because it was you!”

Thalassa was desperate to make him understand. Her eyes, brimming with earnestness, bore into his.

She wanted him to let go.

Since that fateful night five years ago, things between them were no longer possible.

Leopold had been with Isabella, and she herself had lost her purity to Lysander.
