Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 2014
"What's wrong? Am I scary?" Persephone chuckled. "Morpheus has already gone back to his place. We should head back, too.""Mr. Orton... has left?""Yeah.""How did he leave?"Persephone smirked at her. "He jumped off the rooftop!"Rebecca was stunned and instinctively glanced outside. The night was dark, making it hard to see anything. Persephone urged her into the car, and she hurriedly followed. As she crossed the threshold, she nearly stumbled.Persephone looked at her from inside the car and chuckled. "I thought I'd have trouble in high heels, but who knew you'd stumble even in flats?""Sorry about that," Rebecca replied awkwardly, rushing into the car.She sat in the passenger seat and caught a glimpse of Persephone's slightly flushed face in the rearview mirror."Ms. Hamerton, you must be happy tonight.""It was alright.""Did you drink tonight?""A little red wine," Persephone said softly. "No one will find fault with it as long as we return to the palace before curf

Rebecca felt flustered, not daring to move in the passenger seat.Persephone smiled after speaking, reclining comfortably in the back seat and stretching lazily."Oh my, it seems like I'm really drunk now." She laughed. "I'm starting to feel a bit of a headache. Rebecca...""Yes?" Rebecca felt extremely uneasy."When we go back later, I won't have you stay there tonight."Rebecca was startled. "What?"Since she arrived in Southeast Aciatic, she had been living and eating together with Persephone as it was convenient to take care of her. If Persephone didn't let her stay there tonight... where would she go?"Ms. Jacox, you might not know, but Ms. Hamerton has always been like this. When she has a headache, she dislikes having anyone around her," the chauffeur said with a smile."I... I won't be around her!" Rebecca turned to the backseat. "Ms. Hamerton, I'll stay in the downstairs living room! If you need anything, just call me. I—""Ms. Jacox, when Ms. Hamerton asks you to lea

The state of the palace's servants' quarters wasn't bad, but Rebecca didn't stay long. She returned, dragging her luggage.Persephone didn't have classes that day. She was in the yard reading a book and sipping coffee when the butler brought Rebecca in.Persephone pursed her lips. It seemed like she had been waiting for this moment, only it came much sooner than she had anticipated."I thought you wouldn't come to me so soon," Persephone said softly. "Even if you did, I thought it would at least take three days.""Ms. Hamerton, can you give me another chance?""Not particularly inclined to." Persephone was blunt, looking up at Rebecca. "When you were trying to get close to my boyfriend behind my back, did you ever think this day would come?"Rebecca was pale, fists clenched tightly.These past few days hadn't been easy for her. The servants in the palace knew she had been kicked out late at night by Persephone and didn't treat her kindly.The story had spread, and various versi

Persephone turned away from Rebecca, her hands involuntarily clenching.She could sense Rebecca's gaze behind her, filled with resentment and a hint of smugness.Bringing Rebecca to Southeast Aciatic was actually her idea. She had learned about her ulterior motive back in Centrolis. What she hadn't expected was Rebecca's stubborn nature even after arriving.Persephone took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and turned around to give Rebecca a smile."Sorry, I'm not interested in what you're saying at all."Rebecca looked somewhat surprised, staring at her."Ms. Hamerton, don't you want to understand Mr. Orton's past better? I can help you!""You know deep down if you're really helping me or trying to help yourself." Persephone crossed her arms mockingly. "In your eyes, I'm just that rich, spoiled young woman who's reckless because of her family's money, right? I'm a person without any brains to you, aren't I?""No...""Correct, I'm not too brainy." Persephone chuckled. "Becau

Persephone's final design experiment was set to take place in a fireworks factory, and she put in a lot of preparatory work for it.This fireworks factory was under royal management, so she was often seen entering and leaving with Christopher.There were murmurs in the palace, and these bits of gossip quickly spread outside.Morpheus also caught wind of some information outside the palace.In the cafe, he sat quietly by the bed. The sunlight was still bright today, and the place remained empty without any patrons. A sign hung outside the courtyard door, indicating a temporary closure. It had been there for many years.Since he left Southeast Aciatic, this courtyard hadn't seen any visitors.Alfred Farrar placed a cup of hot black tea in front of Morpheus while his wife, Marie Farrar, was busy cleaning inside and outside. Both exchanged a glance, shaking their heads in resignation, and sighed.-Back then.Kaiden, the military general of Southeast Aciatic, conspired with foreig

"No." Morpheus shook his head. "She's an old member of the Hamertons. There's no reason for her to help Rebecca. But when Sephy drove Rebecca away, perhaps the butler only instructed the people below. She wouldn't personally handle it. So, I believe there's an issue among the subordinates.""Sir, what do we do now?"Morpheus remained silent for a while, then said slowly, "Contact the former Orton Troop."Alfred and Marie were initially surprised by this statement, then showed signs of delight."Sir, have you already... made up your mind?"Morpheus smiled faintly. He stood up and held their hands gently."You both have always been loyal to me, as were the former Orton Troop... I know you've always hoped for my return. This time, I don't want to disappoint you or let anything bad happen to Sephy."Alfred and Marie smiled, too excited to find words.At that moment, a clear voice came from outside. "Morpheus!"Alfred immediately understood and chuckled. "The 'closed for business'

Morpheus paused, meeting Persephone's earnest gaze. "But I haven't given you anything yet...""You've already given me the best!" Persephone blushed, smiling softly. To her, he was the best gift in the world."Let's go. Don't stand in the blazing sun!" She took his hand. "Today, you're my chauffeur, and I'm touring Southeast Aciatic!"He indulgently chuckled. "That wish seems a bit challenging." "No matter what Grandma Cordelia wishes, Grandpa Zephyr always makes it happen!""I see." He ruffled her hair. "Grandpa Zephyr is Grandma Cordelia's superhero.""So what about you?""I..." Morpheus pondered. "I'll be your Doraemon, okay?"Persephone smiled sweetly.After securing their seatbelts, Morpheus started the car. Under the sunlight, their laughter drifted in the wind.-Persephone shared her plan to complete her graduation project at the fireworks factory with Morpheus.Morpheus' brow twitched, and he turned to her with a smile, which she could tell was quite strained. Her

Morpheus could tell Persephone had been awkwardly trying to please him, doing everything to make him happy. He felt sorry for her and deeply guilty, too. He didn't know how to tell her about his past. Those ugly scars were something he didn't even want to touch himself."Morpheus, what's wrong?" Persephone's heart dropped when she noticed his constant distraction. "Did… Did I say something wrong?""No." He gently caressed her face. "It's not you, Sephy. It's me.""Why would you say something silly like that?""It's really my fault."Persephone tiptoed to run her fingers through his hair when a distant rumble echoed in the sky. Southeast Aciatic's weather was unpredictable—just moments ago, there were clear skies, and now dark clouds loomed, carrying a damp scent in the air.Before she could react, large raindrops started falling.Morpheus hastily pulled her into his arms and dashed in a certain direction."Where are you taking me?" Persephone urgently asked. "Our car isn't ther

"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
