Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1998
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

Stunned, Persephone teased him with a smile, "Was she the love of your life?"Morpheus' face sank again.Quickly, she surrendered. "I'm sorry. I won't do that again!"They laughed.Morpheus wasn't one to be triggered easily. Moreover, she was right about it.The moonlight was beautiful that night.The girl who told him the story had no idea she was talking to him now.Morpheus smiled. He was sure the girl was Persephone. Besides royalty, only those from the Irwins could enter the rainforest.Meanwhile, he enjoyed special treatment as Southeast Aciatic General Kaiden Orton's son.It was the Irwins' banquet that night. Just a little over ten years old, he disliked such occasions. Sneaking out to the rainforest, he met a beautiful porcelain doll-like girl...Never did he think they would meet again over ten years later.Morpheus asked softly, "Sephy, who told you this story when you were young?""Me?"Just as she tried to recall it, someone knocked on the door.The butler

"So why aren't you taking it?" Christopher asked.Persephone glanced at him. "It's okay. I don't usually play with toys.""Stop lying." Christopher chuckled. "Then what's that on your bed?"His words left her stunned.It was Morpheus who had given her the doll. Not only did it lack cuteness, but it also had a somewhat creepy appearance. He called it the Nightmare Doll and had carried it around for years.The doll was not aesthetically pleasing, but it had the power to chase nightmares away.Wearing a smile, Persephone walked over and picked up the doll."It looks old and ugly," Christopher remarked. "Is the person who gave it to you someone important?""Yes," she affirmed without denial.As she looked at him, her eyes were as clear as water."Ms. Persephone!" He feigned annoyance. "If everything goes as planned, you'll have to marry into the royal family after you graduate!""You said it yourself, 'if everything goes as planned'."Persephone remained calm.She was aware of

Persephone and Christopher exchanged smiles.Allure filled his eyes, accompanied by a faint sadness. He desired to hold her hand but retracted it immediately after lifting it.The last thing he wanted was for her to hate him. It was wonderful that he could be by her side as good friends."Oh yes, how's your design project going lately?" Christopher changed the subject. "The professor has been rejecting it.""It's for the Flower Festival," she replied, looking down. "I came up with a couple of drafts, but the professor rejected them. I was thinking maybe I should do a site recce?""You mean the fireworks factory?" He was rather shocked to hear that.Although the fireworks factory exclusive for the royalty had high security, fireworks were gunpowder, after all. It was risky."Yes." She nodded. "I want to check out the site to hear the experienced pyrotechnicians' opinions. I might get inspiration from them.""But you're the designer. It's unnecessary."Persephone chuckled. "I've

Rebecca was visibly upset as she confronted Morpheus. "You don't have to draw a line between us, right?"Morpheus glanced at his phone. "I'll get you a taxi. Go home."Her voice choked, and she asked, "Do you hate me so much?"With his back turned, Morpheus behaved as coldly as if they were strangers.Rebecca anticipated he wouldn't send her home himself, but she hoped at least for his assistant to send her home. Yet, he did none of that.Calling a taxi, he treated her as if she were just another normal friend.Tears welled up, and her emotions erupted. Fueled by the alcohol in her system, she shed the image of the rational and calm psychologist she was, finally expressing what she had been holding back."Morpheus, you and Persephone really don't suit each other.""I've said that you can't judge whether we suit each other or not!" Morpheus was now angry. "Rebecca, I treat you as my friend, but don't cross the line!""She's the one who crossed the line!""Shut your mouth!""I

Rebecca stared blankly at Morpheus, shaking her head repeatedly."You should know that anyone who attempts to hurt Sephy will suffer," Morpheus warned in a deep voice."I—"He conveniently grabbed an empty beer bottle and slammed it onto the ground. It crushed entirely, leaving glass shards scattered.Shocked, she retreated, screaming.Morpheus, however, didn't even blink at the shattered bottle."I don't know who you are, nor do I know what you're trying to do," he said coldly. "But if you dare touch Sephy, you'll end up worse than this bottle. Get it?"Teary-eyed, she dared not make a sound, only shivering.Morpheus got up and left, resembling a black-clad slayer walking through hell.-The next day, Morpheus' assistant revealed the investigation details."Indeed, Rebecca is from the Hamerton Group's medical team. She majors in physiology, but there's nothing off about her. She bought the pictures from someone else.""What?""She bribed a Hamerton maid, as well as Ms. Ha

"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
