Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 19. 365 days
Chloe was about to enter the car with Leonor when Alexander stopped her. "Get in my car." He stated coldly. Leo looked up at his father with a frown. He thought his father would also ask him. But when he realised he wouldn't, his frown deepened and he stared at his father with a dissatisfied look. Cameron opened the door for Chloe and she entered silently. Alexander's mood is strangely weird today. He is behaving too differently. Yet, she chose to not make a sound and oblige his orders. Leo stared at his father with some expectations, which did not work at all. "Close the door," Alex ordered and Leo turned way dissatisfied. He frowned again, "Bad guy... " He muttered and turned to the other side before the door is closed. Alexander "...." Did he just say that!? This little fella is getting too indisciplined and rebellious after that woman appeared in his life! Too much spoiled! Making a mental note to discipline him later, Alexander entered his car, beside Chloe. She sat in o
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 20. I am not in a picnic either, Mr Rossi
The next day, after breakfast, Chloe went to her room to get ready and found Daniel waiting for her with a stand of clothes. "Stuard Daniel?" She asked confusedly and watched the clothes. All of them are formal attires. "What are these for?" "Elder Master has prepared this for you and sent this message." Stepping forward, he handed her a piece of paper. 'Dear Chloe, Hope you got the present. I hope you will accept them and best of luck for your first day at work.' Chloe Looked up at the clothes again and smiled reluctantly. "Please let him know I accepted his present." "Yes, ma'am." With that, Daniel walked out of the room. Chloe looked at the set of clothes once again. All of them are expensive and custom made. Surely, won't control her privacy even at work. She chose the simple black suit with a knee length skirt and wore it. She looked at herself. Because of its simplicity, it might not catch the expected attention of people. With a sigh, she came downstairs and said goodb
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 21. This woman is everywhere!
"What has gotten into that old man?" Gritting his teeth, Alexander walked out of the lift after the meeting. Cameron is behind him, following. "Sending that worthless woman to the office now!?" He pushed the door and walked in, only to pause on his feet. His eyes blazed and his face turned colder. That woman is still here? "What are you doing in my office?" Alex started losing control. Chloe was sitting on the sofa on the left side. She stood up watching them and his glare clenched her heart in fear. "Ah- I didn't know where to seat, so I waited here." She muttered, lowering her head. "This is the director's room and no one is allowed inside without my permission." He hissed and her head lowered even. "I am sorry, Mr Rossi. It won't happen again." She apologised. Alexander watched the timid woman. She originally seems fragile but sometimes she brings out some guts to argue back. Does she have any personality disorder? He thought. "what are you still doing here? Get out!" And
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 22. Then why don't you do your task, Miss Isabelle?
Chloe was bored all day. At some point, she stopped sketching too. Cameron was also not present as he accompanied Alexander to the meeting. Sighing, Chloe stood up. "How about I look around the company?" However, immediately she erased the thought. "No, I guess, I shouldn't. What if I cause trouble? I can't take his cold wrath again." She started pacing in the hall back and forth and after some time, stopped again with a huff. "Ugh! I can't take this anymore! Maybe, I can take a look, right? If I remain silent, no one will be disturbed. Also can find one or two people to talk to, right?" She nodded at herself and came downstairs. Perficient Global is huge and people are running busily. They have no time to breathe and Chloe? She is the most respited person in the company. While roaming around, she found the canteen and walked inside. A silent gasp escaped her mouth at the huge hall. The delicious smell of food lured her nose as she slowly walked toward the counter. Even though sh
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 23. Why don't you have dinner with me?
Chloe's eyes widened. Her breath almost stopped at the closeness. His fresh masculine scent tickled her nostrils and the domineering aura messed up with her brain cells. Her breath heaved up and she lowered her eyes. "W... what are you d-doing!?" "Why? Didn't you say you wanna take care of me... Privately? I am just asking you to do that, Miss Isabelle." Chloe's breath hitched. The way her name rolled off his tongue made her blank. She looked up at him and their eyes met. This is the second time Alexander watching her closely. Her dark eyes were big and watery. It feels like a pleasant sea and he can dive in them to find his peace. Her rosy lips were plump and kissable, reminding him of their first but accidental kiss. Her naturally blushed cheeks made her so delicate and edible at the same time... His body tightened and his lower part hardened. All he wanted to do is have his way with this woman. "I... I didn't m-mean tha..t," Chloe mumbled with a shaky tone and broke the whim
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 24. The rumour in the palace!
Chloe was right, the little fellow was waiting for her. Leonor has become so dependent on her presence that he needs Chloe around him all the time. In his mind, he definitely wasn't pleased when she went out for work. However, he never stopped her. His little heart is scared to lose her. So, he chose another way to always remain connected to his new mother through texts and his daily images. Waiting for her to have dinner, became a part of his life nowadays. But, she is late today. On other days, she would be home just on dinner time. His little heart is concerned for her. Entering the mansion, Chloe finds him sitting on the sofa and staring at the door. Her heart fluttered at the sight and she immediately rushed by his side. "Hey, my pretty boy. Were you waiting here for me?" She asked with a soft smile. Leonor frowned, not at all satisfied with her late appearance. He looked up at the wall clock and scoffed silently. Chloe turned her gaze to Igor and Daniel, asking the reason
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 25. Does she want kisses that much?
Unlike Alexander, Chloe wasn't aware of the rumour going on. She is absolutely absorbed in maintaining her daily routine with Leonor, before going to work. She came from a background where she needed to hear lots of accusations and slowly, she has turned her ears deaf and mind blank for gossip around her. When she and Leonor got ready to go to the breakfast table, Daniel had no choice but to interrupt, "Young Mistress, wouldn't it be better if you and little master eat your breakfast in the gazebo today? Under the fresh air and morning light." Chloe was confused at the suggestion. "But why? You know, Leonor is not ready for that, right?" "I know, young Mistress. It was just a suggestion. I was thinking if we know how much our little master has progressed." Daniel smiled, but in his heart, he felt pressure. If Young Mistress go down and faces Master then God knows what would happen! It's better for her to not see him right after the gossip. Unaware of his intention, Chloe finds t
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 26. Fire them all.
Chloe yawned, feeling bored. Her life has turned crazy at this point! She is assigned to do literally nothing! And this is not even a park where she could roam around to freshen her mind. It's always sitting in the chair. At lunch time, when Cameron stood up to bring Alexander's lunch, Chloe interrupted. "Ast. Cameron..." "Yes, ma'am?" "Can I go instead of you?" She asked, hesitant. Cameron blinked, slightly confused. And when realised this, he immediately shook his head. "What are you saying, ma'am? It's not your work." Chloe "....." "Will you please tell me what is my work then?" She whined in annoyance. "No work is less for me. I will go. Moreover, you are always busy, so I will also bring your lunch along." Cameron was startled. Which noble lady, who is the dutchess of Iquarayon now, would demand such a ludicrous thing!? Is it even logical? He lowered his head with a gloomy face, "Young Mistress, please forgive me. I can not let you do this."Chloe knew he would deny her.

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
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 101. The brown file.
"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
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 97. An unexpected mess.
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,
