Lena wandered the streets, her steps aimless, lost in thought.Her mind drifted back to a night from years past.The drunk and enraged Drake had been wreaking havoc at home. She had hidden there until the chaos subsided in the dead of night. Little did she know, as soon as she returned...He covered her mouth, stretching his filthy hand into her clothes. Fear gripped her, and she trembled. The bastard's heavy breathing lingered in her ears, the air filled with a thick, disgusting stench.As he began to undress her, she struck back, her knee connecting with his groin.He howled in pain, and she seized her chance, pushing him away and fleeing like a mad woman. She didn't return home that night, deciding to hide in the nearby forest. Occasional animal calls punctuated the darkness. She held herself, wanting to cry but unable to.It was at that moment she first entertained the idea of running away...-Lena's heart ached as she stood by the street. She walked into a bar, her expres

Chris was taken aback. "You're of legal drinking age, right?" he asked Lena.She nodded."In other countries, 21 is the legal drinking age. Are you already 21?" Chris inquired.Lena didn't understand why he brought this up. Her thoughts were a blur, but she nodded in agreement. "Yes, I am.""Then why can't you drink?" Chris wondered.Something sent a jolt through her heart as she gazed at him. His eyes were clear, filled with love and passion meant only for her."You silly goose," he said softly, caressing her cheeks. "Why can't you drink?""I..." She hesitated, uncertain of what to say. "Don't you think a good girl shouldn't drink?"She believed that all men disliked their girlfriends drinking at bars. She assumed all men were possessive and controlling.She expected him to question, scold, or give her the cold shoulder if he smelled alcohol on her.But all he said was, "Why can't you drink?"She looked at him with innocent eyes, her mind blank."Let me explain," Chris sai

"Lenny…" Chris cautiously approached her after a prolonged silence, sensing something was wrong. If she didn't want to talk about it, there was little anyone could do. Anxiety gripped him, but he had to restrain himself.The slap didn't hurt much, but he was willing to endure it if it eased her distress.Lena curled up, unable to meet his eyes, and repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Chris. I'm so sorry.""What's bothering you today?" Chris asked.Lena hugged her head, shoulders trembling."Lenny, please tell me. I can help you!""I need some time alone."Chris' hand, suspended mid-air, stopped just short of touching her head. That tiny distance became an insurmountable chasm the moment she spoke.It felt like the world's greatest distance now separated them. Chris sighed deeply, eyes filled with pain. He reluctantly got off the bed, picked up his coat, glanced back at her, and walked away.The sound of the door locking outside crushed Lena's heart. A sudden, painful sensation

Drake's hands shook slightly. During his time in Centrolis, he'd heard about the Hamertons and Thompsons. The Thompsons not only controlled the entertainment industry but also had ties to the underworld."Heh..." Drake chuckled dryly. "This baby might be small, but the family background is impressive. What a stroke of luck to be born into such a family!"Bianca was too busy admiring her newly painted nails to pay him any attention.Drake asked, revealing his yellowed teeth, "Ms. Bianca, why are you showing me this photo?""Find a way to acquire this child for me.""What?" Drake almost dropped to the ground in shock."What's the matter?" Bianca turned to him, a mocking glint flashing in her eyes. "From what I know, your village is known for human trafficking. Everyone there is skilled at abducting children and women. Even your wife was trafficked there, right? Kidnapping a child should be easy for you, shouldn't it?""You..." Drake was at a loss for words—his smile froze on his f

Bianca couldn't hold back any longer and erupted, "Dickinson! You're absolutely absurd!"Drake stared at her as if she had lost her mind.Had he said something wrong? In his mind, baby boys were obviously more valuable. Instead of making more money, this woman insisted on taking a worthless girl!It seemed like women were just born with no value!Drake's foolish yet unreasonable sense of superiority started to stir within him."Ms. Bianca, you really don't get it, do you?" He shook the bottle in his hand. "Girls, when they grow up, they have to get married. Eventually, they'll belong to a man—""Shut up! Just do what I asked!" Bianca had no patience for talking. "Kidnap the child I requested!"Bianca would lose her temper and shout when she got angry, not caring that they were in the hotel's backyard. Even if no one was around, it was still a public place."Dickinson!" She panted and glared at him. Then she tossed a wad of cash at him.Drake was caught off guard, and the bills

Alexander stared directly at Drake with a faint smile. Drake opened the door to welcome him inside, and Alexander's expression turned complex as he surveyed the grand surroundings. It was a place adorned with gold, and it struck Alexander as improbable that Drake now resided there.Alexander grinned slyly. Did he truly deserve this?"Why are you here?" Drake prodded him curtly from behind. "Shouldn't you be in school right now?"Alexander turned to face him, his tone indifferent. "I wanted to see you, so I came.""See me?" Drake felt surprised."When has a kid like you ever thought about his old man?" Drake's words were oddly accurate. Who would think about a father who only knew how to inflict pain?"Let me be direct so you can get back to your drinking." Alexander observed the bottle in Drake's hand and then eyed his pocket with a cunning glint. "I've got it all figured out!""What?""I saw that woman giving you money."Drake panicked, trying to muffle his words, but Alexa

On Sunday, Alexander visited Lena after getting the money.At first, he thought about taking her out for a meal, but he understood that things had changed for her. A simple meal wouldn't mean much to her now, considering she must have enjoyed many good meals before.Nevertheless, he was determined to use the money to do something special for her, so he suggested they go somewhere else."Ms. Lena, how about a trip to the amusement park? My treat," Alexander suggested with enthusiasm.Lena was initially hesitant but found it difficult to decline when Alexander was so excited about the idea. She agreed to meet him at the amusement park.Surprisingly, it was Lena's first visit to an amusement park.Despite residing in Centrolis for many years, she had always harbored an instinctive aversion to places like this. She believed that the happiness and laughter found in such places didn't belong to her world, which she felt was confined to the gray, overcast sky.Even during her time with

In Alexander's mind, a faint childhood memory had always lingered. Back then, Lena used to carry him on her back during the day and sing him to sleep at night. Lena was the only beacon of light in his life, where warmth was scarce.Who said that three- or four-year-old kids couldn't remember? That memory stayed with him as he grew up, guiding him to reunite with his sister."Sis, please don't cry, okay? Ms. Lena!"Lena paused for a moment with tears in her eyes before smiling at him.The two of them found a cozy little eatery to sit down, which happened to be the same place where Chris took her for pizza.Julius warmly greeted them. "Oh, what a rare visit! This is...""I'm her younger brother!" Alexander replied swiftly.Lena smiled at him and ordered two pizzas.Julius initially looked a bit skeptical, but then he disappeared into the kitchen. When he returned, he brought two generous servings of pizzas."Dig in!" Lena handed Alexander a plate. "This place is great—reasonable

"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
