Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 26
He bent down to pick it up. The soft cotton touch and the faint fragrant scent on it suddenly sparked a different feeling within him.It was Cordelia’s bra—a simple basic design.Marcus smirked. He licked his lips and felt parched. When he came back to his senses, just as he was about to shove all the clothes into the washing machine, he heard the sound of the door, then the small woman’s voice.“Marcus, are you home? Gosh, I drank too much water in the afternoon. I’m going to die. I need to use the toilet…”Suddenly, two pairs of eyes met. Both of them were stunned.Cordelia looked at Marcus in surprise before her gaze went down and she spotted the laundry basket beside him, the dirty laundry, the washing machine with its door open, and… She cried out and blushed in the blink of an eye.“Why are you holding this?!” She darted forward and snatched her bra from his hand swiftly, wishing nothing more than to bury herself in a hole.Marcus was a little embarrassed as well.

Josiah’s heart was in his throat. He could feel the murderous intent the man oozed even through the phone. Had he ruined his good time?Josiah checked his watch and slapped a hand over his head. Damn it! If he was interrupted while having a good time, he would want to rip the culprit apart too!“Z…” he tried explaining with a pandering chuckle. “I wouldn’t be calling if it wasn’t an emergency. I thought you didn’t go to sleep this early…”“Spill!” Marcus growled in annoyance and went to the balcony before pulling the door shut behind him.“I’m afraid you have to go back to Centrolis,” Josiah said in a hushed voice. “News that you aren’t dead has gotten around, and your grandfather is beyond himself. Your parents too…”“Mm, got it.” Marcus frowned. “I’ll contact them privately, but returning to Centrolis will have to wait.”Josiah did not understand but could only agree with an “oh”.“Right, Z. I looked into it today and the client sis-in-law has gone to meet for a sale is the on

Cordelia pressed her lips together, having no intention to argue with her. She was about to go around Karine when the latter blocked her way.“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to behind everyone’s backs!” Karine was domineering. “Cordelia, you know very well how you managed to close this sale!”Cordelia trained her gaze on her, her bright eyes shining with anger. She was usually smiley and hospitable, rarely ever wearing such a cold and stern expression.It was like she had become a different person, and Karine could not help taking two steps back.“How did I close the sale?” Cordelia repeated each word with emphasis. “Based on my capabilities! The sales proposal I burned the midnight oil for one whole week and edited countless times? Mr. Sean was happy with it, that’s why he signed it! You worked on it for three months and still couldn’t get it because you’re incapable! Yet instead of reflecting, you blame others for working harder than you?”“Hah, you worked hard?” Karine

Cordelia pressed her lips together and nodded in agreement, arriving at the Eterous Hotel near their company with Jesse moments later. There were really two blonde foreigners waiting for them there.Cordelia greeted them in fluent Feransai and did her best to interpret. The clients approved of her ability, and as the meal came to an end, there was an indication that there would be a collaboration. It was only then that Cordelia flashed a relieved smile. Confident and poised, she raised her glass to propose a toast to their delightful cooperation in advance. The scene was coincidentally witnessed by Josiah, who was passing by. He halted in a daze and only then began to seriously check the girl out. He had thought that he had seen plenty of pretty girls before, but when Cordelia had smiled just now, it had felt like all the flowers in the world had bloomed. There was an enchanting charisma about her. It was no wonder Marcus’ plan to return to Centrolis had to be put on hold… It se

Marcus’ gaze was firm as he smiled softly at Cordelia. He then turned to Jesse with a callous, bloodthirsty expression. His gaze was like a sharp knife that could slit the man’s throat.The security guards at the hotel entrance were about to step forward but were forced back by Marcus’ icy gaze.Jesse was intimidated by his commanding presence as well and was now shaking like a leaf. “W-Who… Who are you?”He scrambled up from the floor and staggered to regain his balance.“Who are you? How—How dare you hit me in broad daylight? I—”Marcus skipped talking to him. Instead, he went up to Jesse and yanked him by his collar, dragging him to the back of the hotel as though he was nothing but a chick.Cordelia was worried about Marcus being at a disadvantage, so she hurriedly followed him. However, before she could reach him, she heard wails for mercy from the back.Jesse was bruised like a peach as he got on his knees, his hands hugging his head. Marcus landed a kick on his chest. Bef

Cordelia was stunned. Confused, she looked at Annie.Annie sighed and whispered next to her ear, “I’ll just lay it out for you. The news has been spread all over the office, saying that you’re married to a thug who was put behind bars…“They also said that your husband was the one who beat up Jesse yesterday! The stories were vivid, saying that he was often arrested due to fights. He was imprisoned for years and was only released recently.”Cordelia was not sure whether to laugh or cry. She momentarily fell silent.Annie was shocked to see her saying nothing. “Are you really married, Cordelia? Is your husband as they described?”“Yes, I’m married.” Cordelia was honest. “Also, he indeed doesn’t come from a glorious background.”Annie stepped back when she heard that, staring at Cordelia in disbelief.“But he treats me well.” Cordelia’s voice was soft, but each word she said was as clear beads falling onto the ground.“I never planned to hide my marriage from all of you or not te

Karine fumed. Her cheeks flushed.Reputation was everything to her. Now that she was humiliated, she vented her rage on Cordelia. She lifted her arms to hit her, but the people around her stopped her.They pointed at the surveillance camera on the ceiling, asking her to hold back.Karine glared at Cordelia with a vengeance and said to her while gnashing her teeth a moment later, “What’s there to flaunt about having married a poor man? A diamond ring aside, he can’t even afford a copper or iron ring! Stay poor for the rest of your lives, you wretched couple!”She turned to leave as soon as she was done. Cordelia grinned as she watched her leave in a rage.It seemed she would not have peace in the office from now on.She must plan ahead and come up with a backup plan.On the next day…Cordelia looked different than before when she showed up at the office again.She, who did not wear makeup, put on light makeup today. She had something on her finger, too—a huge emerald ring.Her

Cordelia felt her heart squeeze. She turned her head, and Annie and her locked eyes. The latter looked at her anxiously.“Why did she ask for you?” Annie frowned. “She must be up to no good. Watch out, Cordelia!”“Hmm, it’s going to be okay.” Cordelia walked to Karine’s office calmly.Karine pulled up all of the blinds in the office intentionally. She even left the door open with the intention of showing everything that was happening inside to everyone out there.Cordelia was suspicious. It seemed she was not trying to start something with her.After all, all eyes were on them.“Cordelia, this is Mr. Jones from the Star Group.” Karine introduced her with a bright smile. “Mr. Jones, this is our company’s top salesperson of the month!”Cordelia nodded, smiling courteously. However, the more she looked at Karine, the more she thought what Annie said was right.She was up to no good.Oliver Jones was a gentle middle-aged man. From the moment Cordelia entered, he had his eyes on th

"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
