Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1908

Persephone's hair was a bit disheveled, and Morpheus' mind was in a bit of a muddle too.

Kourtney and Jim had abducted her, and she had been with him all these days. He also restricted her movements. Had it suffocated her?

He had been so harsh on her too...

Morpheus composed himself and cleared his throat, speaking in a calmer tone. "If you want to contact your family, I can help you."

Persephone's eyes instantly lit up...

In the afternoon, Morpheus took her out, weaving through the streets and arriving at a small convenience store on the corner.

Persephone looked somewhat surprised at the slightly worn-out place in front of her. When she was in Centrolis before, she rarely went to convenience stores, and when she did, those stores were spacious and bright, with shelves full of products in attractive packaging.

This one... The location wasn't great, almost no foot traffic, and the items on the shelves, much like the store's owner, seemed lackluster.

The only advantage was it seemed clean, despite the shack-like appearance.

"This is George," Morpheus introduced the shop owner to her. "You can make a call here, free of charge."

Persephone was taken aback as George Kovac retrieved a very old-fashioned landline phone from under the counter.

"I've never seen anything like this." She widened her eyes.

"You're seeing it now, aren't you?" Morpheus raised an eyebrow. "There are plenty of things in this world you haven't seen!"

"Are you sure this thing works?"

George chuckled warmly, inviting her inside. Once she stepped in, a strange action from George left her puzzled—he closed the shop door!
