The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Thalassa's body hit the ground hard, too stunned to react in time. She tried to get up, but the man was quicker, pinning her hands behind her back and binding them with a leather belt. "Let me go! This is against the law!" Thalassa struggled, her breathing heavy.

The man ignored her protests, flipping her over to tie her legs together with a necktie.

Thalassa couldn't struggle anymore. She widened her eyes, trying to get a good look at the man. He wore a baseball cap, pulled down low to hide his face, as he tightly knotted the tie around her legs. Thalassa kicked at him, "Get away, don't touch me! Help!"

She continued to struggle and call for help.

By then, the man had tightly secured her legs together with a knot.

He stood up, facing Thalassa with a grim expression, "Stop yelling, or I'll have to gag you."

Thalassa finally saw his face clearly, gasping in disbelief and shock, "Callum, how could it be you?"
