Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 181
Zephyr’s eyes contained nothing but the delicate girl.Cordelia gasped, blushing red. She was shy and afraid as she pleaded softly, “Honey, no!”Zephyr’s gaze was delirious with a smirk.The ardor spread like wildfire in the room. As the moonlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling window, it illuminated the clothes scattered on the floor as well as the two bodies on the bed.…Zephyr slowly cracked his eyes open early in the morning. Seeing that Cordelia was still sound asleep in his arms, he could not help smiling and kissing her lips. He carefully pulled his arm out and got out of bed to call the reception, asking for breakfast to be sent to their room.Cordelia turned around lazily on the bed, the space next to her jolting her out of her sleepy daze.“Darling?”She got out of bed to look around barefooted. As Zephyr came in from the balcony, she walked right into his embrace.“What’s the matter?” Zephyr smiled, stroking her hair. “Why are you in such a hurry to look for

Zephyr paused and went to her side to say softly, “The police’s outside right now. It’s safe. Stay here. I’ll be back very soon.”He had seen that there were a lot of people in the hallway. Not only were there the police, but the men he had asked Robert to send and protect Cordelia were around too.Cordelia nodded and asked him to be careful. She checked the lock carefully after he left and latched the security chain.Zephyr was familiar with the hotel’s interior. He easily avoided the crowd and went to the rooftop through a quiet passage. As expected, he saw bloodstains on the staircase with the dim lighting.Alarmed, he ran up. The blood stains were not consistent, so he slowed his pace and kept his guard up on the surrounding area as his hand crept to the pistol at his hip.He suddenly heard soft cries for help!“Who is it?” Zephyr was startled.He saw a shadow moving around the nearby shielded area. He chased after it and was surprised to discover Nicholas lying there in blo

Even though Cordelia was afraid, she quickly calmed herself down. After pondering for a moment, she retrieved her clothes from the closet.Zephyr was surprised, not knowing what she wanted to do.“I have an idea,” Cordelia said softly. “Darling, change him into these and dress him up like a woman!“Then take him out of the hotel, and people won’t suspect you!”Zephyr gave it a thought. The current priority was to send Nicholas out. They could give the idea a try!Cordelia left the bedroom, and the men got to work swiftly. When the door opened again, Nicholas had already changed into her clothes. Although the man was bigger in size, it was fortunate that Cordelia’s clothes were loose. It was a long dress, so it could wrap him up.Cordelia scanned him and got a pretty hair clip out from her purse to put it on him.“Push the hair in front… to block the face!”He did seem quite the role.Zephyr asked Ian to help Nicholas out. As the two of them stumbled away, they looked like a co

“There’s a knife wound on his stomach that almost pierced his liver. The wound’s deep, but it’s been sewn up.”Cordelia’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing about it, and she unconsciously tightened her hold on Zephyr’s hand.“Don’t worry.” Seth smiled tiredly. “He’s not in a critical state. But he has to be hospitalized for observation right now… Best if someone is with him, so I can give him a second emergency treatment if something happens.”“Thanks.” Zephyr patted his shoulder. He felt bad for sending Nicholas to Seth, but he did not have a better solution.Sending Nicholas to a regular hospital would undoubtedly expose his identity, while doctors in regular private clinics might not be as skilled.The nurse wheeled Nicholas into the hospital ward.The usually aggressive and brazen man was now pale like a sheet. He was all bandaged up as he lay quietly.The fragility of life was always felt in such swift moments.Cordelia could not help the mixed feelings she felt as she loo

“What’s wrong?” Zephyr was puzzled upon seeing Nicholas’ pained expression.He thought that he was already humbling himself to wipe the man’s face for him, so how could the latter still have complaints!?“Nothing.” Nicholas winced.“Your wound’s pretty deep.” Zephyr looked at him. “You need to rest up for some time. Don’t move mindlessly, or you’ll suffer if your wound opens up again.”“Where’s this place?”“Seth’s hospital.”“What?” Nicholas almost sprang up, hissing in pain when he accidentally pulled the wound on his stomach.Zephyr glanced at him with a scowl.“I couldn’t send you elsewhere. Seth knows everything,” he said in a deep tone. “He saved your life. You should thank him!”Nicholas scoffed and smirked.“If I remember correctly…” He looked at Zephyr. “He’s the one who saved your life too, right, Mr. Z Hamerton?”Zephyr glowered immediately as his gaze turned icy and hostile.“What did you say?”The atmosphere in the hospital ward was tense, and it felt like the

“Nicholas Thompson!”Zephyr’s gaze was dark. He exuded an oppressive vibe as well.“Are you courting death?”“Hah, looks like you’re afraid?”Zephyr abruptly raised a hand to choke Nicholas’ throat.The latter was shocked upon feeling the pressure on his throat increasing. His breathing became labored.“You…”Zephyr narrowed his eyes. The viciousness in his actions was no weaker than the gangsters Nicholas had met.Nicholas barely raised his hand to grab Zephyr’s wrist… when the door opened, and Cordelia came in to be greeted by the scene.“Honey!” She was astonished and ran to grab his arm. “What are you doing?”Zephyr regained his cool and slowly unclenched his choke to toss Nicholas aside.Nicholas coughed but dared not go too hard for fear that his wound would open up again. As he coughed, he glared at Zephyr.Cordelia was only concerned for her husband and entirely ignored the patient in bed.“Darling, are you alright?”“Hah, what could happen to him?” Nicholas gnash

Cordelia kept the corners of her lips down, wincing. Before she could think of what to say, Zephyr stepped out with a scowl.“I’ll take care of you.”Nicholas was horrified. “N-No, I don’t mean you—”“It’s only me aside from Cordelia.”Nicholas said after a moment, “Bro, you can just get Ian here.”“Ian’s injured too. I sent him back to rest after he was bandaged.”Nicholas was rendered speechless.“It’s okay.” Zephyr wore a slight smirk. “I can take good care of you.”Nicholas scowled while Cordelia secretly giggled with a hand over her mouth. She passed the take-out box to Zephyr as she spoke with a tinkling voice. “I’ll go back to the cafe first, darling. I’ll send you both dinner when I’m done. Stay here and take good care of Mr. Thompson!”Zephyr smiled. Both of them grinned at each other after exchanging a look.Nicholas leaned against the bed with his back against the frame. This was the first time he realized that husband and wife really did act like each other when t

As the tall and gorgeous figure greeted Nicholas’ sight, he could not help gripping the handle of his wheelchair tighter.“Why did you bring her here?”Zephyr looked indifferent. “You were the one saying to explain misunderstandings as soon as possible and not to stall it.”“It was you I was talking about!” Nicholas glared at him.Zephyr wore a faint smile and waved his hand at Cordelia.Linda’s steps were heavy as she slowly went to Nicholas. The closer they were, the clearer their past was in their minds.Nicholas turned his back away slightly with a cold expression. The moment he bowed down to hold the wheelchair, however, his big movement revealed his necklace from his hospital gown.Linda’s breath bated. There was a necklace exactly the same on her neck.To be fair, it was not a necklace. It was a regular chain with a ring on it. The ring was not worth much, and the chain was not made of a decent material. It was already oxidized at this point.Linda remembered that it

"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
