Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 134
Cordelia suddenly felt like walking on the beach. She combed her long hair with a light smile and went toward the beach in her slippers.…Marcus could hardly sleep at night.It was hard for him to sleep now without Cordelia by his side. Despite that, Cordelia had bestie secrets to talk to Linda about. A man like him could not be acting petty.Therefore, the soft bed became his venting target. Marcus tossed and turned, eyes bigger than saucers, as he cursed Seth over and again in his mind.Who was this trip for!?Good job to Seth, letting go of a chance to get closer to Linda just like that to snore in the room alone. He could hear him even through the wall!Marcus huffed a sigh. Seeing that it was the break of dawn already, he planned to rest a little when the phone in the room rang.“Mr. Z, Ms. Cordelia’s gone out alone.”“What?” He was alarmed. “Where did she go?”“Our men followed her and saw her going to the beach… But that area isn’t our private beach. It’s a public spa

“Y-You…”It felt like a thunderbolt slashing through the sky, hitting Cordelia on the head and blanking her thoughts.The homeless guy seemed to be aware of it, making inaudible sounds after a glance at her and shaking his head violently before he ran away with a bunch of trash like he was fleeing.Cordelia chased after him but did not manage to catch up. She was pale as she panted heavily. That face… It looked exactly like Marcus!Cordelia froze on the spot as blood gushed to her head. Her hands were icy as they quivered. She didn't even know how she walked back to the hotel.When she looked up and saw Marcus, the man put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to take a step back in reflex to look at him in a daze.“What happened?” Marcus’ voice was soft and deep.Cordelia snapped back to herself and took a deep breath.The face in front of her was chiseled and clean, with manliness oozing from the eyes. How could that homeless guy compare to Marcus?Cordelia hit her head. She

“Really?” Cordelia was excited. “They’re promoting their anniversary, but we’re the ones who got lucky!”“Yeah.” Marcus smiled. He was content as long as she was happy.“Darling, I realize that my luck’s been great ever since I married you. Everything’s going so unexpectedly smoothly!” Cordelia stood on tiptoe and held Marcus’ face to peck his lips.“You’re my lucky little charm, baby!”It caught Marcus by surprise. He swiped her nose and chuckled.“Go ahead and have breakfast first,” he said in a deep tone. “I’ll go to the washroom and join you later.”“Oh.” Cordelia did not think much about it. “I’ll go look for Linda and Seth first. Come meet us soon!”“Sure.”As Cordelia skipped out of the room, a dark glint flashed across Marcus’ eyes. He picked up the landline and dialed a few digits, asking darkly, “What did she run into this morning?”“Sir, Ms. Cordelia was at the beach, and we kept watch from afar, not daring to go close. She returned later, and it was at the trash ca

These were Xyla’s photos.The mental health hospital was relatively special. The majority of the patients had below-average immune systems. In order to prevent germs and viruses brought in through family visitations, the hospital recently changed its rules.Family members could only visit once a month while the patients had to stay in the hospital the rest of the time, taken care of by professionals.Cordelia could not see her mother whenever she pleased like she used to now. That was why Seth took photos occasionally—thanks to his duty’s convenience—and brought them to her, so she knew that her mother was doing well.“Ms. Irwin’s recovering well,” Seth said with a chuckle. “The nurse who’s taking care of her says that she’s behaving just like an ordinary person recently, whether it’s conversations or outdoor activities. I went through her medical record and asked her doctor too. Her recent dosage has been halved.”“Really?” This was undoubtedly great news to Cordelia.“Yeah.” Se

“Wow, it’s amazing! Yes!” Seth was thrilled. He was like the rest of the spectators during the match, springing up and cheering with all his might. “That’s the way to go! Hook punch… Yes!”The cheers were deafening. Marcus’ student won another round.“Cordelia, does Marcus get a lot of cash prizes if his students keep winning these matches?”Cordelia giggled so much she could hardly answer the question.“What are you doing?” Linda was also laughing. “Are you switching lanes? Quitting medicine to be a trainer?”“This looks great!” Seth looked around. “Look at these spectators. They came in with tickets. The boxers are paid whether they win or lose. Of course the trainer will get even more!”“Goodness, Seth, I can see dollar signs in your eyes!” Linda widened her eyes.Seth sighed intentionally, “How do I save up to get married otherwise?”“What are you saying?”Seth held back his laugh and kept shaking his head.It caused Linda to laugh as well. She was going to punch him but

“Hey! What are you doing!?” Cordelia cried and ran to put herself in front of her husband.“I’m not doing anything!” The man looked malicious. “Ask your husband how he used to serve me… Hah, he’d put his hands up when I flicked the ash. His palms are my ashtray!”“You—”“Pretty, did you think you married some nice guy?” The man scanned Cordelia from head to toe, his gaze unsettling her.“Heh, the lowest of thugs. He was looked down on when he was in prison, and you’re treating him like a gem?” the man scoffed. “Marcus, you lucky b*stard!”“That’s enough!” Cordelia shouted fiercely. “I don’t care who you are. This is a public space. If you disrespect my husband again, I’ll call security!”The man’s gaze was sharp. “Marcus, why are you still so useless? Do you only know how to hide behind a woman?”“Uh… is something wrong?” Seth, who came later, looked at the few people, lost and sweating.He was the most worried about Linda, so he stood next to her. Before he could go close, s

When he saw Marcus just now, something did seem wrong. They beat him up quite often back when they were in prison, but the authoritative and frosty presence when Marcus saw him just now took him by surprise.He had even gotten married?Any woman with a sane mind would avoid him like the plague. Who would dare marry him!?“Keep your guard up when you investigate. Keep it under the radar.” Nicholas lit a cigarette and puffed a long exhale.“N, his wife seems close with Ms. Quimby. Do you…”“Find out about his wife too!” Nicholas’ gaze was ferocious. “Ha, I’d like to know who the girl is and what they’re trying to do!”…Cordelia prepared a bath for Marcus when they came back home at night, making him take it while she massaged him from the side of the bathtub.“You don’t have to.” Marcus smiled softly. “Go to bed. I’ll go after I’m done.”“I’m not tired!” Cordelia looked at him, her small hands running on him stubbornly.There was a subtle change in Marcus’ expression. The reas

Marcus did not say anything, but his breathing grew more labored.His phone buzzed as the email arrived. He browsed the information.As expected, Nicholas did have a grudge against the real Marcus.Robert was still speaking. “Sir, Nicholas went to prison for intentionally harming someone when he was 18. He was sentenced to ten years but got out two years earlier due to his stellar behavior in there.“He’s done well in Jangasas these two years, taking over several big groups. There are also rumors saying that he got up to where he is by instigating a few bosses and eliminating them in the dark.”Marcus’ brows were furrowed as he rubbed his temples softly.“Nicholas has a number of bars and clubs under him now, but they are only fronts. He’s full of illegal dealings.”He asked in a low voice, “What was he like in prison?”Robert coughed. “He was pretty much a head in there. It’s said that criminals are ranked too. People like Nicholas, who got imprisoned for killing or injuring p

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
