The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

How could Alaric possibly listen to Angelina? After all the struggle, he had finally gotten his hands on the family registry document. Just one step out the door, and he could marry Hertha, start his own little family, living happily ever after with his wife and kids!

Alaric didn't look back, his long legs carrying him swiftly towards freedom. Just a bit further, and he'd escape Angelina's dictations for good.
