Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1757
"But why would she treat me like this?" Maisie was stunned for some time before she dryly asked, unable to comprehend Camila's actions.The puzzlement lingered. Maisie had no grudges or conflicts with Camila, so why would she repeatedly set her up and drag others down with her?Yvette's gaze held a hint of sympathy as she looked at Maisie."I actually don't understand it either," she said in a low voice. "My husband and I were just following Camila's orders, especially my husband. To keep his job with the Quimbys, he had to do some things that went against his conscience. However... I did hear something from Camila once."Maisie snapped her eyes up at her.Yvette pursed her lips and whispered, "Camila said that all the secrets that could provoke you are in a house near the suburban area."Maisie's heart jolted.That day with Camila hadn't been a casual stroll. There was a hidden agenda.Camila had deliberately taken her to the vicinity of that house, intentionally made her go i

Maisie crouched on the ground, wailing. Her daughter, who hadn't yet had a chance to see the world, was buried there.Slowly, she walked to the outer edge of the courtyard and sat in front of a stone tablet. Repeatedly, she stroked the words engraved on it, tears streaming down her face.Since the day Daniel suggested she abort the child, she had planned to escape. -Back then.They resided on the city's east side, so she fled to the west, renting a shabby house in the suburban area. The conditions were poor—she cooked in the corridor and sought help from an old classmate to find a job.Fearing Daniel's pursuit, she avoided using her ID and worked as a daily laborer in a restaurant kitchen, performing the dirtiest and most exhausting tasks.Kind neighbors, witnessing her pregnancy amid malnourishment, gave her eggs, which she reluctantly consumed, eating only one every two days.Despite the harsh conditions, she found contentment. Enduring anything to settle down and bring her

"Maisie!" Daniel yearned to embrace her, but she suddenly exhibited unexpected strength, a stark contrast from her usual delicacy, fiercely struggling in his arms.Maisie's eyes were red, her hair disheveled, and she screamed like a mad woman, presenting an extremely terrifying image."It's Camila's doing! It must be her!"Daniel was bewildered. "What are you saying?"Before he could react, Maisie delivered a resounding slap across his face.Daniel froze, feeling the fiery pain on one side of his face. The hatred in her eyes surged like turbulent waves as if it would consume him."Maisie—""Bastards! All of you are a bunch of bastards!" Maisie lost her sanity, unleashing a barrage of kicks and punches."Maisie, calm down a bit!""Get away!" Maisie pointed at him, her voice trembling. "You people are too cruel... None of you Quimbys are decent people!""What?""Do you all just love harming other people's children?!" Maisie hysterically shouted, losing her balance and fainting

Daniel's voice quivered. "E-Even if she goes crazy for a lifetime, I'll take care of her!""Daniel, don't be naive." Linda bit down on each word, her intensity palpable. "Leaving aside whether you can accompany her for a lifetime... even if you can, it's a fact that one gets tired of taking care of their parents, let alone a woman you once wanted to abandon!"Daniel maintained his silence, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner turmoil."Daniel, just let her go, and let yourself go, too. Both of you need to start anew. Let her forget everything and embrace a brand-new life. Isn't that better?"For her, you're an abyss. If you truly love her, you should place her in the sunlight instead of letting her sink into your world... The doctor said that if she continues like this, she won't hold up both mentally and physically! Do you really want to see her die?"-Daniel leaned on the balcony railing. His temples throbbed, and he felt a choking sensation as if he wanted to cry.He to

Daniel stood blankly on the balcony after the call ended.A breeze blew, sending a chill deep into his body, causing him to shiver.Memories flooded in, recalling a time when Maisie would comfort him by adding extra layers of clothing during such moments of love. But now, she no longer held that love for him.Not only did she not love him anymore, but there was also an overwhelming sense of resentment.Exhausted, he shut his eyes.In reality, Linda was right. Instead of allowing Maisie to harbor hatred fueled by painful memories, it would be better for her to live again with those memories erased.A knock on the balcony door interrupted his thoughts. "Mr. Quimby, Ms. Squire is awake."Daniel turned around quickly but hesitated as he entered the room.The doctor promptly handed him hot water and medicine. "Mr. Quimby, Ms. Squire needs to take her medication on time to calm herself. Are you…"After a prolonged moment of contemplation, Daniel finally made up his mind. "Let me do

"We'll do that!" the doctor said.Daniel nodded and left the hotel, heading straight to Lily's company.His goal was clear—he was there for Camila.Meanwhile, she was initially stunned upon seeing him but then smiled courteously. She asked him to wait in the lounge, promising to join him once she finished editing the drafts.Daniel's eyes were cold as he was in deep thought, and she walked out after a while."Is there something I can help you with, Daniel?" she asked.He squinted, looking at her quietly.Lily was right. Camila was mentally tough. She sat naturally across from him, seemingly unfazed by the things she had done that crossed his line, asking him what was up as if nothing had happened.He scoffed and said slowly, "I've underestimated you."She frowned and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? I don't get it.""Will you understand if we talk somewhere else or if someone else is asking you this?""What do you mean by that?"Coldness flashed through his e

Camila seized the opportunity to speak. "Daniel, you can't just say whatever you want. No matter what, this has nothing to do with me. It's just a coincidence. Believe me or not, it's up to you. That's all I'm going to say!"She left immediately after speaking and hurriedly exited the lounge.Daniel remained seated for a while before finally departing. As he passed by the office, he observed Camila engrossed in work-related discussions with her colleagues. They were deeply engaged, occasionally sharing jokes.Without the recent incident, she appeared as a diligent employee with no apparent grievances.Camila noticed his gaze—she turned her face, offered a smile, and then resumed the discussion.His gaze sank. Lily had been correct—she possessed remarkable mental resilience. Despite witnessing her panic moments ago, she was now casually conversing with others.Daniel composed himself and left the office. While he could certainly exploit his leverage over Camila's parents, who ha

Daniel gently caressed the word on the tombstone, his eyes brimming with tears. Recollections of something Owen had said echoed in his mind."Maisie buried the child… Do you want to know where your daughter is buried?"Tears streamed down his face.The tombstone, a simple rectangular piece of stone, bore only one word carved on it—Curtisa."Curtisa…" Daniel sobbed, certain it was his daughter. Maisie had given her such a beautiful name.Footsteps approached from behind.Daniel turned to see Maisie standing there, holding a bouquet of daisies. Their eyes met, both surprised.It was the first time she had witnessed him cry.'So, the seemingly cold, heartless man is capable of sobbing like a baby,' she thought."You're here…" Daniel hastily wiped away his tears, his voice hoarse. "I-I was just taking a stroll. If you don't want me here, I'll…""Stay for a bit," she said. "Be with her. This must be… your first time?"Placing the daisies next to the tombstone, she took out a hand

"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
