Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 237
In Cordelia’s daze, she heard a loud noise. The sound of a bullet penetrating glass was deafening. Then, chaos ensued.Cordelia slumped on the floor, fading into black. She was hanging on to the last sliver of will as she crawled out.“Honey, save me…”In spite of it, a hand abruptly grabbed her hair!The pain, like her scalp was splitting from her skull, made her cry. Before she fell unconscious, she felt an icy blade cut into her skin, and she vaguely heard the man’s voice.“Mr. Z, hah… Let me go, and I’ll give this woman to you. What do you think?“You aren’t making any loss in this deal! As long as you let me go, I promise I won’t appear before you again…“My wife is yours from now on!”With Zephyr’s growl, his bodyguards surrounded Marcus, but they dared not move recklessly. There was a dagger against Cordelia’s neck, and blood was slowly trickling out.Marcus snickered. Just when he got to the door, he shoved Cordelia to Zephyr.The bodyguards gave chase, but Marcus hop

“I already informed Mr. Matthew when you failed to kill Cordelia.” The man turned to face Marcus. “Mr. Matthew’s the one who gave you this sum of money. He said to keep you as you’ll still be useful!”The young man suddenly extended a hand to pinch Marcus’ face. He looked as if he was just pulling a trick.“Hah, I think Mr. Matthew’s plan is great… It’d be a pity if your face were gone!”Marcus’ hair stood on end. Even when he had spent so long in prison and met gangsters like Nicholas, they were unlike this guy in front of him who sent chills down his spine.“Go.” The car was parked at the curb, and the sinister voice was heard in Marcus’ ears. “Heh… You’ll be useful in the future!”Marcus opened the car door and fled with the money.The guy in the car pressed his cap lower, his fair face wearing a smirk.…Zephyr had been waiting outside the emergency doors.The blood on his hands had dried to a dull red color. His hands were intertwined and shaking slightly, but his express

Nicholas stood rooted with his temples throbbing. After a moment, he looked at Linda with a complicated gaze and said, “Calm down, okay? Zephyr doesn’t wish for this either…”“What doesn’t he wish for?” Linda raised her voice. “Hah, he’s bored of living his rich heir life in Centrolis and came here pretending to be a former convict to get married?”“Don’t make it sound so bad. You don’t understand. He was conspired against and got seriously injured. That’s why he hid his identity in Jangasas!”Linda was quiet for a moment and scanned him judgingly before she scoffed. “You knew so much?”Nicholas was rendered speechless.“Nicholas Thompson!”Nicholas wanted nothing more than to slap himself.“Zephyr Hamerton!” Linda’s voice was shaking from how furious she was. “Recover and recuperate all you want. Why get Cordelia involved?“Do you really think you’re a prince? Hah, being a womanizer even when you’re badly injured. How much will your rich heir friends be envious of you when you

It felt like there was a loud explosion in Cordelia’s heart.Zephyr’s extended hand paused in the air before he slowly pulled it back.“I’ve lied to you,” he said. “I’ve also caused you harm.”Cordelia screwed her eyes shut and cried.She finally understood why he seemed to have an extraordinary aura, why every difficulty she met would always be resolved, why he never cared about money, why he seemed fearless…He was the heir of the Hamertons. The whole world was under his feet. What was there for him to be scared of?Cordelia chuckled wryly. She had called him silly in the past, but she was actually the silly one who had been tricked!“Cordelia—”“Please leave.”Cordelia hid under the covers. Her weak voice came from the small gap.Zephyr could only see her disheveled hair and her quivering body. He wanted to pat her back and keep her in his embrace like he used to, but he could not do it now.He quietly left the ward and sat on the chair in the hallway, never once leaving.

Was Zephyr so cowardly that he needed these people to boost his courage to step into his own home?“Cordelia, take a nap,” Linda said softly. “I’ll go buy some stuff downstairs.”Cordelia nodded and tucked herself in, closing her eyes tiredly.Linda closed the door carefully and went downstairs. She crossed her arms as she approached the two men.“Mar—” She bit her lips and changed what she was going to say. “Mr. Hamerton, Cordelia’s just going to sleep. If you go back now, move around quietly. The wounds on her body are healing, but I’m afraid it’ll take a long time for the wound in her heart to heal.”Zephyr’s expression was solemn as he nodded. “Thank you.”“No need to thank me.” Linda looked at him. “She can’t just dump you either. She just can’t accept it for the time being. Talk to her slowly. She’ll get around soon.”“Mm.”“But remember, if you dare lie to Cordelia or hurt her again, I’ll get justice for her even if I have to die with you!”“Cough!” Nicholas quickly ste

Linda was rendered speechless.There were more people watching them now, either enviously or with stupid grins. Some of them whipped their phones out to record it and chuckled. “I always hear people say they kneel on washboards, but I never expected I’d encounter someone kneeling on one because of his wife!”“Hahaha!”Linda’s cheeks were burning. She wanted nothing more than to bury herself in a hole if there was one.“Nicholas! W-What… Have you lost your mind!?“Get up! Stop kneeling!”She wanted to pull him up as she spoke.Despite that, the man shouted louder, “Don’t touch me!“Anyone who dares interrupt me from admitting my fault to my wife is my enemy! I, Nicholas Thompson, have some status in the gangs. Anyone who has a grudge against me, I’ll definitely—“Ow!”Before he finished, Linda pulled his ear.Nicholas wore a pained expression, but when he peeked at Linda, his gaze was loving.His underlings behind him finally failed to hold it in and turned away to giggle wi

“I think you should just take her back to Centrolis with you. At least your dad and I are in the Hamertons. We won’t let Cordelia suffer any loss or disadvantage.”“Thanks, Aunt Cloud.” Zephyr forced a smile. “I’m afraid she’ll hate me more if I do that.”“Have you caught Marcus?”“No,” Zephyr answered in a low tone. “The guy who took him away is sly and familiar with Jangasas’ suburbs, especially the junctions around the riverside. He covered his face once he got close to places with surveillance cameras. The car doesn’t have a registration plate either, so it’s hard to investigate it.”“Let me know if you need my help,” Kate consoled him.Zephyr looked at her gratefully and nodded. He then asked casually, “When are you and Zennie going back?”“These two days, I think. It’s time Zennie focuses and prepares for her university application!”As soon as Kate said that, Zennie bounced in, opening the door. She quickly asked about Cordelia when she saw that her brother was there.In

Zephyr heard the water running in the bathroom when he arrived home. His heart clenched, but he dared not do anything. He could only stand there quietly.He remembered what Seth had said. Cordelia’s unusual behavior was called PTSD.…“What she has is considered light,” Seth told him. “The best is to treat it with psychological intervention, but… it’s better for the doer to undo what he’s done. Since the source of the issue lies with you, you’re the best doctor for it.”…Zephyr took a deep breath. He wanted to take on the role of the doctor as well, but Cordelia gave him no chance of approaching her.The bathroom door opened, and Cordelia walked out wrapped in a towel. When she looked up and met his eyes, she cried in surprise.“Cordelia—”Zephyr did not get to say anything before Cordelia hurried into the bedroom and shut the door with a lowered head.The door felt like a barrier separating them into two worlds.After a while, Cordelia opened a crack in the door to peek at

"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
