Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 2028

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 at Persephone's arm by sheer

instinct. Choked by the thick smoke, his throat was hoarse, but he persisted, calling her name,

"Sephy... Please, don't fall asleep..."

Despite his words, he found himself closing his eyes first.

"Christopher..."

"Sephy, you have to hold on." Christopher's words came out incoherently. "Someone will come to

rescue us. keep holding on..."

The two lay amidst the inferno.

Another deafening explosion echoed, and a column of fire shot up into the sky!

Morpheus dashed into the blaze, pausing momentarily. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

He clenched his fists, his body involuntarily trembling. He wanted to take deep breaths, but every

inhale filled his throat with smoke.

Fire and explosions were everywhere...

Morpheus covered his ears but soon lowered his hands and continued to run forward.

At that moment, it seemed like his nightmare had returned. Fire, smoke, and explosions intertwined,

taking him back to that battlefield soaked in blood...

Kaiden's face appeared on the battlefield. He was mocking his incompetence, arrogantly pointing a gun

at him, and screaming hoarsely, "If you have the guts, then kill your own father!"

Morpheus ran with all his might, trying to leave the nightmare behind.

"Stupid boy, you can't outrun fate!" Kaiden's voice seemed to echo again. "You can't save her! Even if

you save her, do you think she won't mind this past of yours? You're someone who can kill your own

father. She'll never look up to you!"

"No!" Morpheus shouted, stopping to catch his breath. When he looked up again amidst the flames,

there was also determination in his eyes.

"I will save her...

"I won't let anything happen to her!

"Sephy!"

Without hesitation, Morpheus plunged into the fiery sea. -

Persephone thought she was about to die.

In that moment of fading consciousness, she was startled awake by the flames, her eyes jolting open.

She heard someone's voice amidst the fire.

"Sephy! Sephy!"

She couldn't believe her ears. "Morpheus?"

"Morpheus, I'm here..."

She waved desperately and screamed with all her might, but her voice drowned in the fire and smoke.

Just as she felt hopeless, a pair of large hands lifted her, and the next second, she was in the embrace

that had given her a sense of safety countless times!

"Morpheus?" Persephone was dazed before she burst into tears. "Morpheus... is it really you?"

"It's me! Don't be afraid!" Morpheus carried her. "I'll take you out of here! You'll be okay soon!"

"I thought I was going to die..."

"You won't!" He looked into her eyes. "I am here and won't let anything happen to you!"

"How did you come here?"
