Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1993
Persephone's POV:'Subconsciously, it's been a year since I arrived in Southeast Aciatic.'The life here is quite comfortable. With Grandma Cordelia's ties to Southeast Aciatic royalty, I get to live in the palace, enjoying the same treatment as the princes and princesses here.'I'm pursuing my passion in university, studying the design major I've always wanted. I've always aspired to be an outstanding fireworks designer.'There's no winter in Southeast Aciatic, just year-round sunshine and warmth akin to spring, unlike a certain place... Yet, that place, although warm, felt damp and dark while the air carried a rotten scent. But it holds the most unforgettable person in my life.'Life in Southeast Aciatic is good, but it lacks him…'Throughout this year, Morpheus and I have maintained an unspoken understanding. We'll talk once a week over the phone and exchange emails every other week. We share our lives, discussing our achievements.'He manages that gym exceedingly well.'Sev

Persephone stuck her tongue out. What he said hit the mark. He was always like this—when it was about himself, it was just a brief, "I'm doing fine."When it was about Persephone, he would ramble on and on.Persephone thought, 'Morpheus has been in Centrolis for a while now. Due to my family's connections, many people try to curry favor with him. But those who know him say he's enigmatic, solemn to the extreme, and maintains an icy demeanor toward everyone.'Theodore told me that Morpheus inevitably attends some events in Centrolis, where there are always flashy socialites and heiresses. Initially, these girls surrounded him, but eventually, not a single one dared to get close.'-During her phone call with Theodore.Persephone joked, "Is Morpheus hitting women?"Theodore said, "Sis, of course, he wouldn't hit women. In his eyes, you're the only woman. Would he hit you?"Persephone blushed and hastily hung up on Theodore.-"Sephy?" Morpheus' voice came through again.Persep

Morpheus' POV:'I didn't respond to her words. I simply said a brief goodnight and hung up.'She doesn't know that I've seen those fireflies before. When I was young, my surroundings were full of them. She also doesn't know how well acquainted I am with the Southeast Aciatic palace, even more than my own home.'She's unaware that in moments of despair on the battlefield when I nearly lost my life, I glimpsed those fireflies. They seemed to fly before my eyes as if leading me away and taking me to hell for judgment by fire.'As someone with hands stained with blood, I'm probably meant for hell.'I smiled, lying in bed. I intended to sleep early, but that night felt incredibly long, haunted by one nightmare after another. I was back in that place where blood flowed like a river…'I saw my father fading away before me, eventually turning into a bright spot. On closer inspection, it was a firefly with its wings spread.'I was startled awake from the dream, hastily grabbed some medic

Morpheus paused, and she quickly released his hand, her face flushed red.Even if he were slow, he understood what that meant for a girl.Morpheus admitted he was in a daze for a moment, but after those few seconds, he became even more certain about missing a certain someone. Unfortunately, that person was in another country, and he couldn't overcome everything to go see her."Mr. Orton, I'm sorry." Rebecca lowered her head."It's fine." He chuckled. "I've troubled you.""I'm not afraid of trouble!""But I am." He lowered his voice. "Trouble is something you only add to the most important person in your life.""Huh?" Rebecca seemed a bit puzzled.Morpheus smiled. It was a phrase Persephone had taught him.-Morpheus' POV:'After that day, I no longer go to see Rebecca. I even tried to stop taking the medicine myself and exhausted myself with intense training, trying to sleep more peacefully. But everything was in vain.'Not only do I have trouble sleeping, but I also suffer

Rebecca grabbed Morpheus' hand.He abruptly pushed her away, causing her to stumble and almost fall. He felt a twinge of guilt but didn't reach out to help her up.She looked at him, her gaze filled with disappointment."Sorry, I... " He explained softly, "I don't like people touching me.""But Ms. Hamerton can, right?" she asked.Morpheus' heart clenched.In that instant, his mind was filled with Sephy."Morpheus, you still can't let her go, can you?"He furrowed my brow. Her question seemed intrusive. "Is this something a psychologist should ask?""It's a friend asking," Rebecca said, looking down. "I thought after all this time, you'd consider me a friend.""Rebecca..." He sighed, "There's no issue of letting go between me and her.""What do you mean?""We made a promise.""Does that promise still count?" Rebecca's emotions grew intense. "Do you really think she'll come back?""What are you saying?"Morpheus was taken aback, and his mind suddenly went blank."I'm par

Morpheus put the gun away, but he was quite upset. "How did you get in?""Your assistant has a spare key, right?""Didn't my assistant tell you I don't like people entering my home?!" His tone was stern, and he looked quite unpleasant.Rebecca stood there, flustered, biting her lip tightly.She had laid out an entire breakfast spread. Perhaps she did not know his preferences and had cooked various dishes—a nutritious and colorful assortment.Despite seeing it all, he couldn't feel any happiness."Morpheus..." Her voice choked. "You always say you don't like being touched, having people in your home, this and that... But why…""Why can Sephy?" He raised his voice. "Because I like her!"Rebecca looked up at me, her eyes red."Do you get it now?" He stressed each word. "I like her. Regardless of whether she returns or not, I'll only like her in this lifetime! I'm a hypocrite, treating others one way and her another, because I like her!"What others can't touch, I want her to tou

Persephone lazily turned over, tiny beads of sweat forming on her nose.There was no winter in Southeast Aciatic, it was sweltering summer all year round. Even in air-conditioned rooms, she would feel irritable from the oppressive heat.She stepped out of bed and stood on the balcony.What was the temperature today? It was too hot this early in the day. How would she manage today? She still had a full day of classes today.Persephone sighed, picked up her phone, and checked it for a while.Morpheus hadn't called her or sent an email because it wasn't the agreed time yet.It was just that... Did this fellow always have to be so punctual? Couldn't he break the routine for once?She pouted. Last night's sleep wasn't great. When coupled with the scorching weather, her appetite wasn't good either. Her recent design assignments were fraught with various small issues, making her feel like a balloon ready to burst. She was just missing a pin.Persephone pulled at her hair, making a mes

"Mm-hmm, I remember." Morpheus chuckled. "Sephy...""Do you know how much I miss you?" Persephone lowered her head, her voice gradually fading. "I really want to see you.""I'm sorry." He felt full of guilt."You don't have to apologize." She smiled. "I'm already happy that you video-called me today. By the way, I've had too many design projects recently. I have dark circles now. It's quite ugly, isn't it?"Morpheus shook his head with a smile."Also, you have no idea how strict my teacher is!" The little princess complained, "I made a minor mistake in a small part of the design, and he rejected the whole thing! I spent a month on those sketches... Now, I have to start over from scratch!"There's also this jerk in my group who never does any work, but when it's time to submit, she wants to copy others... Hmph! I won't let her see mine even if she's some prince's daughter!"Persephone pouted. "Do I look ugly with glasses? I would have put on some makeup if I knew you were going t

"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
