The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

"I'll keep our marriage license safe until we get back home," Lysander said as he slipped Thalassa's marriage certificate into his suit pocket. Thalassa's tears turned into laughter. "Are you really worried I might lose it?"

"Of course, it'd be quite the joke if we lost our marriage license right after getting hitched," Lysander replied, his tone full of indulgence. Whenever he spoke to Thalassa, his voice softened, a tenderness unmistakable.

Thalassa felt cherished and recognized how much Lysander valued their union. The slight unease in her heart vanished.

Clutching Lysander's arm, Thalassa didn't even realize she was speaking with a hint of coquettishness. "So, where are we off to now?" "Let's catch a movie, I'll check the showtimes," Lysander responded, pulling out his phone, ready to browse through the listings.
