Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 1. The ruthless announcement
In the Evans Manor... In the hall of the well-decorated mansion, sitting, Rodger Evans. Known as a selfish businessman. Beside him, sat a twenty years old blonde girl with beauty and elated attitude. She is Anastasia Evans. His only daughter. And in the opposite, a young man in his mid twenties, Snyder Evans. Rodger's nephew and the next owner of his properties along with his daughter. Rodger's brows furrowed, enhancing his wrinkles. He is worried because of the huge loss he just encountered in his business. Such a great loss only could be removed if he is blessed with a miracle. Right beside him, stood his loyal Assistant, Damien Bradford. "Don't worry too much boss, we will recover this loss soon." He tried to assure but the glare of his boss immediately shut his mouth. "Recover my foot! This loss can't be recovered in the next ten generations! I am almost on the road!" He rubbed his face in frustration. Damien watched his boss. He has an idea, yet he does not know if that will
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 2. The torturous duke
Chloe was startled for a moment, Hearing their words. She might not hear their last conversations, she knows the first part only. And it did not take her a second to guess the last half of it. They were discussing whom to replace Anastasia! Disgusted and distraught, Chloe wanted to deny this ruthless decision angrily, yet she chose to be polite to her master. "I can't do this master. Please forgive me." She muttered and 'spat~' A loud slap fell on her face from Anastasia. "How dare you decline Papa's order!?" She yelled at her. Anastasia wanted to slap her a few more but stopped by Snyder. "Come on Anastasia. She can make a decision for herself of course." He turned to Chloe and his eyes darkened. His eyes landed on this girl since the first day she appeared in the manor. The true epitome of beauty he has ever seen. Her curves and delicate moves. She is far away to become a maid. He even offered her once to be his bed warmer and she chose to slap him hard. This is the secret he
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 3. Welcome to the Rossi family
In the huge hall of the imperial castle, Chloe stood beside Rodger Evans. Her head was supposed to lower at him, yet she was ordered to hold her head high because she is the noble lady. "I like your daughter, Rodger." Anthony Rossi, the head of the great Rossi family, spoke as his sharp eyes landed on Chloe. "She is extremely beautiful and will be the perfect one beside my Alex." "I am honoured, Mr Rossi. My daughter is yours from now on." Rodger pushed her front by the back as she bowed at the great figure with a timid heart. "What's your name, darling?" "Ch... Chloe Isabelle." She almost stuttered and felt a hard glare behind her. Chloe knows Rodger is dissatisfied with her performance. Fortunately, the duke decided to let that slip and smiled at her. "Chloe Isabelle. A beautiful name for a beautiful princess. I like it." He announced. "We are honoured, sir. You are so humble." Rodger buttered him and Chloe hold herself from narrowing her eyes at his Fakeness. Anthony laughed.
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 4. Get out!
With the decrement of their distance, Chloe felt the urge to run away. Even though his personality attracted her as if a bee is attracted to the sweetest honey, the urge of maintaining a distance from this entitled evil was stronger. Others bowed to him, including Butler Daniel. Chloe did not know what to do. So, she just stood straight instead of bowing with the actual dubiousness in her mind. Alexander walked to his General place. The head chair and sat down. Today he lost a well prepared contract to the E Shine and that turned his mood sour already. "Good Evening, young master." Butler Daniel greeted to get no reply. Yet, he did not lose his courage and continued, "Young master, this ..." He was about to introduce Chloe to him, when, "Why are you standing? Place the food for master." The man with silver rimmed glass and a rigid personality spoke to Chloe. He is Assistant Cameron. Chloe blinked a few times, startled at the sudden snap. "M...me?" She pointed a finger at herself.
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 5. She tried to kidnap my son!
Chloe pulled the little body toward her, holding him tightly in her chest as her heart throbbed in fear. However, in a haste move to save him, Chloe's feet slipped and she fall flat on her back. A knock of air just forced out of her chest and for a good second everything was dark before her eyes. She lay there on her back, still holding the little boy tight to her chest. Even after she fall, Chloe did not lose her grip on him. It's an instinct she grew over the years after losing something so close to her heart. Her only hope of light. The place was pin dropped silent around for a split second. Soon, hasty footsteps and screams of a name made the place chaotic. Chloe sat up, still holding the baby boy in her arms. The little boy turned to her and that stopped her breath for the time being. He seemed around three years old. His gorgeous golden eyes were curiously watching her. Chloe's heart clenched tightly. Seeing this little boy, took her back to her dreaded past, where she cra
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 6. Stay here from now on
Chloe Looked around, subconsciously fidgeting with the bronze ring on her thumb. It was from her mother. No special memory behind, yet it means a lot to her because it's from her mother. She turned her gaze to the little boy again. He seemed very comfortable beside her as he is playing without any worries. Just right on the opposite, sitting the cold Duke. Well, evil could be the best word to describe this man. He is staring at the unwanted guest. Well, mostly at the scene, where his only son is leaning toward her and playing with his blocks. As a father, his heart screamed happily at this situation, but as a man, Alex is ridiculously annoyed! Why her!? Why it has to be this woman Leonor reacted to!? All he wanted to do is throw out this woman from his place. He does not want any sort of wife in his life! Especially, when his grandfather is forcing one on him! He was even successful, however, his son decided to betray him at such a crucial time! "Why did you return?" Alex asked t
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 7. Uncomfortable and strange
"Who is she?" Alexander glanced up at both Butler Daniel and Private Ast. Cameron. For the second time, his cold heart is curious about a woman. Well, it could be said as the first time because the previous one was a scheme against him, which he did not want to recall. Under the Duke's cold glare, both Daniel and Cameron were distressed. Cameron lowered his head. "I wasn't aware of the lady, director." Alexander's eyes slowly landed on Daniel who seemed a little nervous. He wasn't acknowledged either until the elder master called this morning. "Master, I wasn't aware either. The elder master called me this morning and let me know about the lady. I only know that she is the daughter of Harper Evans, one of the noble families in Iquarayon." Daniel replied respectfully. Alex turned his chair and looked out of the huge French window in his private office. The surprise reaction of Leonor is still hard to get. Could it be because she saved him from falling into the pool? "A daughter o
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 8. Where is the real mother?
Chloe Looked down at the paper that was placed in front of her. The bold letters 'RULES OF THE ROSSI MANSION' was written at the top. Her eyes dropped further down as she saw some marked sentences there. She looked up at Stuard Daniel. Just after waking up the next morning, she certainly did not expect a sheet of rules to pop up before her eyes. Realising her confusion, Daniel started explaining, "Young Mistress, this is the must abide rules of this mansion, selected by the master himself. He wants you to sign the contract and stay here beside little master." Chloe did not ask anything immediately. She turned her head to the side to watch the little fellow playing with some puzzles alone. As if nothing matters to him other than those pieces of the puzzle. A very adoring child who certainly has shown a glimpse of violence that still is chasing her mind to learn. The incident was still unbelievable for Chloe. She pursed her lips and turned her gaze back to Daniel. "May I ask why h

Surprised, Chloe turned around and saw a couple of steps away Alexander was standing with a light on him too! This came as a shock for her as her eyes widened and for a moment she was speechless. "Alexander..." With a bright smile on his face, he took a step forward to his wife. "Good Evening, Dutchess." Chloe didn't reply to anything. Well, basically she couldn't as she kept staring at her husband in disbelief. Her state made him chuckle, as he started taking his steps forward slowly. "A year ago, exactly on this day, I have seen you. With your little and insecure steps, you have entered my cold palace. You were scared and I was ruthless, as usual." Alexander stopped a few feet away from her now and continued with his words. "I thought I always knew what I wanted from life. And then I see your eyes, my most favourite gems in the world. At that very moment, my world turned upside down and I stood confused. Not sure anymore what to do. I started doing things I was sure that I wou
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 103. Epilogue I
A few months later... Chloe twirled around in front of the mirror, looking down on the plumped figure of her fully grown ten month pregnancy. The whole family, specially under the continuous care of her husband, Chloe passed the dangerous pregnancy times and now everyone was waiting for the new member to arrive. Though it was already declared that she could not have a normal delivery due to her complications, Chloe accepted the fact and was always ready for her operation in mind. "Oh! You look so beautiful, darling!" Jessica chimed in happiness while her eyes turned teary. "I am so excited about this!" This woman was hell emotional! But, Chloe liked that about her mother. Sometimes she was crazy enough to give headaches and that was the beauty of this woman. These months Chloe has spent her most beautiful and memorable days with her mother. And the bond only grew stronger. Still, none of them spoke about the adoption or her real parents. Chloe has buried the truth for the better.
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 102. As you wish, Dutchess.
No matter how much one tries to hide the truth, it never could be hide. Maybe, it would take years to come forward, but it would be in front of you just when you started thinking that your life was complete. That is exactly what happened to Chloe. In her point of view, her life was going perfectly, but God had another plan for her and the brown file came in front of her. The moment she opened it, she regretted giving in to her greed and not choosing to walk away. Because the file describes a truth she never thought Alexander would hide from her. It's the file of her real identity. The description of her real parents and how she was separated from them. However, Chloe did not see everything. When she realised the meaning of that file, she immediately closed it and slumped down on the chair behind her. Meanwhile, Alexander and Cameron also walked out of the meeting area and stopped seeing her. They saw the file in her hand and it did not take them time to understand what just happ

"Sleep well at night?" Chloe asked taking a bite of her favourite buttered pancake with a sly smirk plastered on her face. Melissa groaned hiding her face on the pillow. "Shut it now, will you, bitch? How long will you tease me with this?" Both friends were sitting in the gazebo, their favourite place. However, the word 'bitch' caught Leo's ears. Stopping his work, he threw his displeased glance at Melissa. Immediately, she bit her tongue and apologised. "I am sorry, young Mistress, for my words." Satisfied, he once again focused on his work. Melissa "....." Leaning toward her best friend, she rolled her eyes. "Seriously?" Chloe enjoyed the scene. Her heart warmed up when her little boy stood up for her. She chuckled, feeling content. Every time it was Melissa who would torment her asking about her husband's behaviour towards her. She had to stay too cautious so that nothing was spelled too stupidly and give her new content for teasing. But, today it's different. Today Chlo
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 100. You need some punishment, Dutchess.
Chloe felt she was slammed down from the sky to the ground as her eyes jerked open. She was in a daze. At first, everything was fuzzy in front of her and slowly realisation started hitting her. She found herself in the topmost shameful situation she could ever put in. Seating on the kitchen table, hair and clothes were a mess and then there was her husband standing between her legs as his hand was on her very private part.Her breath hitched in her throat as she looked at those emerald-green orbs, staring at her in confusion and guilt. Alexander immediately cut the call without even looking at his phone and joined their foreheads. To divert her mind, his fingers, once again started doing his magic. Chloe's lips parted slightly and taking the chance he took her into a very deep kiss. The moment once again started heating up then... 'Bring ~ Bring ...' His phone started ringing again, stopping them with that annoying sound. Chloe "....." She was so irritated and angry at the sa
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 99. A horny mess.
Both Alex and Chloe heard the gasp. And her eyes widened in shock and her gaze snapped down to them, cursing in mind for their stupid mistake. Alexander's brows furrowed together in confusion. "What was that?" Both Melissa and Cameron counted their times on earth. Alex wanted to look behind but before that Chloe stopped him quickly. "Umm.. baby!" And that was enough for Alex to fix his gaze on his wife. Because for the first time after their marriage, she called him by that endearment. It was not that he was hearing this particular word from her for the first time. She always calls Leo that way. But for him, it's so different. As soft and adoring it was for Leo, that sexy and luring it sounded for him. Chloe also realised later what she had done. But it was done. She didn't know whether she made him angry or not. Because, most times she witnessed men hated this endearment, she never said it to him. Blinking her eyes she tried to speak. "Umm... I..." Yet then again, she was lost
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 98. Answer, Dutchess.
'Umm.. I.. I was scared by my own shadow!' Chloe stated, cursing herself inside for giving such a terrible excuse. 'Do tell me he believed it, please God!' She counted times for herself. "Scared by your shadow?!" Jessica asked in confusion. She has never seen her daughter so helplessly scared before. "Goodness! What were you thinking, Chloe? You scared all of us." She touched her shoulder lightly. "You feeling good now?" She nodded her head quickly with a smile "Yes, I am fine. Don't worry. And... And I am sorry for worrying you like that." She apologised. Jessica shook her head. "It's alright. You are fine and that's what is important." She patted her cheeks. "Go and sleep, okay?" Then turning to Alex she said, "Take care of her..." Both Jessica and Daniel turned around to leave but Jessica stopped. "Umm... Did you see Melissa?" She asked. Basically, she came out to find her when she did not see her at midnight. Chloe froze. "Uh... Why? Isn't she sleeping at this hour?" She ask

Chloe huffed and sat up on the bed. Looking up at the huge wooden watch with a gold border she pouted her soft pink lips. "It's midnight and he is not here yet." Looking at her right side she sighed. "When he will come?" With another helpless sigh, Chlod laid on the bed, turning to her sleeping son. She held him softly and kissed his chubby cheeks. The habit of sleeping early she grew since she stepped into the palace as everyone went to bed earlier and woke up with the sun. This was the strict rule of Alexander. And Chloe liked the idea a lot. Previously, while living with her family, she needed to complete all the work and then go to bed in the last but needed to wake up before everyone. Sometimes, she couldn't get to sleep for more than an hour. Then she went to work in Evans. And it was kind of the same there too. Though Maiden Anastasia never pulled it after one at night, still the workload every day was enough exhausting for Chloe that 4-5 hours of sleep every day wasn't eno

"So, you guys finally decided to keep the baby... Congratulations." Richard smiled at them and the couple nodded. "Yes, we did... Mostly, it's me, doctor." Chloe confessed. "I understand the risque, still I am unwilling to let it go without a try." Alex caressed her hand, which he kept holding from the beginning. "It's alright, Chloe. You have your choice to decide. As a mother, it's your priority to do it. Only remember that you need to be careful always and always keep in touch with your gynaecologist." Richard suggested and they both nodded. "I will take care of her," Alex stated with determination. A few minutes later, the couple walked out of the hospital and settled into their car for home. On the way, Alexander got a call. However, when he saw the caller, he frowned. It was Alessandro Devonte once again. However, his change in expression did not go unnoticed by his wife. "What happened, Alex?" He shook his head. "Nothing... Work call." He replied blankly and with a nod,
