Cordelia peeled her heavy eyelids open. She felt like her bones were dismantled and reassembled. The pain was unbearable.She was greeted with white walls and the smell of antiseptic while being bandaged in gauze from head to toe. What was even more exaggerated was that her leg was hung high.She was stunned when a large hand held hers, and the warmth of it seeped into her heart.Cordelia turned to meet the man’s deep eyes.He looked at her quietly with complex emotions running through them. Worry, frustration, concern, affection… and self-blame. He forced a smile and stroked her hair softly, speaking hoarsely. “You’re finally awake.”Cordelia jostled, her head buzzing. Other than pain, she could not feel anything.“What happened to me?”“You don’t remember?” Marcus held her hand in his and rubbed it gently.Cordelia’s lips were dry, and her throat was so parched—it felt like it was on fire. Her streams of consciousness slowly poured in, and she remembered everything that had h

Marcus played with Cordelia’s long hair with a smile, seeing that she was a little down.“What’s the matter?”Cordelia sighed and chortled wryly.“I don’t have any good idea to seek revenge from them for now,” she said softly. “I don’t want word about this matter to get out since it’s not exactly glorious. People like them get to live their lives like nothing happened after what they did, but I can’t do anything to them.“I can only pretend nothing ever happened and endure it for now until the day I’m powerful enough to fight them and settle the score with them!”Marcus chuckled lightly as he looked at her.Cordelia was not a soft pushover. This woman was tough, clear with what she loved and hated, resilient, and patient. She would avenge if there was a grudge, and she was able to stay calm and help herself in a crisis. She even had the determination and courage to risk it all.She was like a female version of him.The corners of Marcus’ lips curled up high. The more he thought

Cordelia’s injury required rest, so Marcus took her back home to care for.In the beginning, Cordelia was worried. Marcus did not know how to do house chores, and even cooking was a problem. Now that she was injured, the house would definitely be a mess.Despite that, her eyes sparkled the moment Marcus carried her into the house.Their home was clean and tidy. Everything was put in place, not looking any different than before she got hurt.“Not bad, huh?” Marcus chuckled deeply.His gaze at her was like a little boy who was waiting for the teacher to praise him.Cordelia grinned. She had always thought that her husband was unpredictable, but all she saw was him browsing finance news in various foreign languages usually. She did not expect him to be able to handle housework as well!A while later, Marcus served two dishes.Cordelia tasted them and found that they were decent, just a little too much salt. However, she was already pleasantly surprised with how they turned out.“

Cordelia was delirious. She did not know how to answer him and could only respond shyly following what he said.She gently closed her eyes, listening to the light shower of rain pitter-pattering on the window and feeling the man’s passionate kisses… She slowly opened up her heart.…Marcus eventually woke up at the crack of dawn.Back when he was at the Hamertons’, he would sometimes wake up at 4:00 a.m. to work. He would always wake up early, a habit unchanged all these years.In spite of it, because of Cordelia last night, he was filled with the impulse to sleep in for the first time.Marcus turned to look at her silently. The girl was sound asleep and looked endearing. He could not help kissing her lips, but the sweetness of it stirred his urge again. He tried to hold himself back as he thought about last night’s frenzy. She must be exhausted.Marcus got up and caught a glimpse of his phone screen lighting up. He put on a T-shirt and got out of bed to go to the balcony quietl

After some rest, Cordelia’s leg finally healed. She could not wait for the check-up at the hospital and went off to work.Annie was delightfully surprised when she saw her. “You’re finally back! I haven’t been in the mood to work without you sitting next to me recently!”Cordelia smiled. “You’re getting sweeter with words!”“Sigh, I feel guilty! If I had insisted on going to the dinner with you, you wouldn’t have been tricked by that scum…”Alarmed, Cordelia quickly pulled Annie to an emptier corridor.“Does… everyone know about this already?”Annie looked around before telling her softly, “No. The people in the office don’t know why you suddenly took sick days. The director said that you accidentally injured your leg. Everyone wanted to visit you in the hospital together, but he stopped them.”Cordelia nodded in silence.The director was not bad, but he knew too well about self-preservation. He glossed over many things and would hardly stand up for anything.“So even if there

Carter was soaked in sweat, looking frantic with red-rimmed eyes. He failed to hold back his tears when he saw Cordelia come for him and went up to grab her.“Cordelia, something happened at home!”“What’s wrong?”“Your sister…” He panted. “Yelena took a lot of people home saying that she wants to chase us out!”Cordelia felt her ears buzz, and her mind went blank.“She came with a lot of workers saying she wants to take back the house to renovate it for her own use! Sis, didn’t your father give the house to our mom? What right does she have to take it back!?”Cordelia’s heart thrashed. She panicked for a moment, not understanding why Yelena would do that.“Let’s go back and have a look first!” She consoled Carter, “We’ve been living there for so many years. She can’t just take it back like that. There could be some misunderstanding!”“What misunderstanding could there be? Yelena must be up to no good!” Carter fumed. “She took so many people to our place today and chased me out

Cordelia stood where she was, frozen. She was shaking.She only spat out two words after a long time. “No way.”Yelena’s eyes dimmed.Cordelia’s eyes were sharp as she stared at her. “This is our house. It was dad who gave it to my mom! We’ve been living here for years. This is our home!”“How dare you bring that up?” An evil smile flashed through Yelena’s face. She yelled in her shrill voice. “Who is your shameless mother even? Do you think she’s worthy of my dad giving her a house?“He only allowed you to stay here temporarily out of pity! At the very least, your mother served my dad. A b*tch like you were born, but who is he even?”Yelena criticized mercilessly while pointing at Carter. “What you think that a b*stard that came out of nowhere deserves to live in the Jenners’ house!?”Carter had a high ego. He was always embarrassed by the odd family relationship.Yelena was poking his weak point, exploding the emotions that he had been holding back.“What nonsense are you ta

”Are you guys dead?” Yelena called out to the movers around. “Did I pay you to watch the show? Come help me!”Marcus served a murderous look. The movers looked at each other, and none of them dared to go forward.Yelena felt as if her heart was going to fall out of her chest. She stared fixedly at the man before her and felt a growing suppression. She was frozen.“C-Cordelia!” She caved and shouted in fear, “Are you going to control your husband or not!? I-I tell you. If he dares to hurt me, I-I’m calling the police! I’ll get them to arrest him and put him behind bars again!”Marcus exerted more force with his hand. The icy smile was scary.Yelena screamed from the pain. Her knees felt weak, and she knelt on the ground.“The Jenners’ heiress calls someone a b*tch like she’s breathing. Aren’t you a little too mean?” Marcus scoffed and continued. “What? Are the Jenners so poor that they can’t afford mouthwash?”He threw her out as soon as he was done speaking. Yelena slammed hard

"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
