The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1049

The bodyguard, staring at Lysander, saw his eyes went red with fury and sensed the chill of anger seeping into the surrounding air. The bodyguard froze, eyes dropping in submission, anxious to avoid the wrath.

When Lysander saw Thalassa throw herself in front of Callum, ready to take the hit meant for him, his heart felt like it was pierced by a shard of ice. Rage ignited from deep within, spreading like wildfire through his veins and threatening to consume him whole.

“Thalassa, do you even realize what you’re doing?” Lysander’s voice was tight with suppressed anger. His gaze was icy.

Thalassa, realizing the bodyguard had halted and that she was still embracing Callum, quickly let go and turned to face Lysander. Her breath trembled as she met his furious, crimson stare, tears spilling over. She pleaded, “Please let Callum go. He was just trying to help me. None of this is his fault. I’ll go back with you.”

Going back meant facing the consequences, enduring his towering rage, submitting to whatever punishment he deemed fit.

Lysander’s eyes fell on her tears, each one like a needle-sharp icicle, stabbing into his heart with a cold, dull ache.
