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.
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 27. They shouldn't have messed with the Rossis.
With force, Alexander throw her in the car and locked themselves in the little space of luxury. Chloe gasped at his action. "Wh... what a...re you d-doing!?" She stuttered badly. Her throat turned dry. Instead of answering her question, those cold emerald eyes watched her for a long time. Her appearance was vivid and unlike those unexpected moments of their closeness, he is intentional today. Her dark watery eyes. Long lashes. little but pointed nose. High cheekbones and those heart-shaped rosey lips, all were attractive. She has that 'timid but forcefully strong' look, giving away her fears. He stayed silent for some time and then, "What were you doing there?" Chloe blinked. After that storming entry, she did not really expect that blank question but harder accusations or worst, some cruel scolding and punishment. Gulping hard, she lowered her eyes, "I... I was just trying to do some work." "By destroying a million euro worth painting? Do you find it funny?" His tone chilled d
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 28. A surprise...
In the Evans Manor... Harper Evans closed his eyes in satisfaction with a sip of his cold coconut smoothie. His mind is so light weight since his business was saved. The master stroke worked without losing anything. Looking at the clear sunlight, he sighed in relief, "It was so easy to fool Rossis, Don't you think, Damien?" He asked, full of arrogance. However, Damien could not remain calm for some reason. Since that day, there was a fear in him, always growing with time. What if they were caught? But he got no intention to disturb his master and smiled professionally, "Master is so well thought." Harper laughed foolishly. "Ain't I, huh? I know I am good." He took another sip of his drink leisurely. Damien was silent for a moment before speaking, "Master... I have a suggestion." He uttered, praying to God for him to listen. Harper paused and then looked him up and down. "You?" Staring at him for a second he laughed Sarcastically. "You have a suggestion, heh? Well, I am in a gen
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 29. Just like you.
Life has never been easy for Chloe. A fatherless misbegotten child, who grew up with curses and ignorance. She lost everything before it ever came to her. But suddenly, one day she found a treasure. A sweet little treasure who forced her to suppress the scars and walk along with him, accepting all odds. However, God seems not so pleased with her that he even sends something in her way as a surprise, which could end her life miserably. And that surprise was just standing in front of her eyes... "Young Mistress, your father has sent you your favourite maid Melissa Quinn as the dowry. I hope someone from home would lighten up your heart..."Yeah, the surprise was none other than her best friend, Melissa. Who had no idea of anything and appeared at the order of her master. Nothing was straight at her side either. The moment her eyes fell on Chloe, she turned numb. All she knew, she needed to follow the instruction of her master and give information about the young Mistress of the Ross
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 30. He is mature than his age
Chloe did not respond to her friend's remarks, instead, he stared at the little Leo's drawing. This is not the first time she watched his drawing. He did it before and it felt like, he has that exceptional talent in this particular subject. She caressed his hair and watched him. For a three years old, this little guy is mature. Sometimes, he even behaves like an adult. Disciplined and well behaved. Somewhat cold but his condition is different than other children of his age. Still, it's unnoticeable at the first few glances unless one really gets close to him. And Chloe wants to help this little fellow before she leave. She won't stay here for the life time but to a certain time. And then, she has to go. Before that, she would try her best to become a mother for this sweet little soul and make him sociable, unlike his cold hearted father. At the thought of Alexander, her brows furrowed. She just made a huge trouble and he did not do anything yet? How is it possible that he let her

In the evening, Alex returned home and greeted with a heart warming scene of mother and son. Chloe was sitting on the sofa and Leo was on her lap, both were watching something on the iPad. Leo's posture was very comfortable and matey. Melissa was standing just behind them, doing her duty. Even though the bond between them was so adoring and appreciated by the people around, it made Alex frown. He does not understand, why does this little guy always have to be so close to her? Now-a-days, he literally forgot to seat on real seats! Every time, he would find him on her lap! This woman is destroying his habit! He immediately walked toward them and put him down beside her. No one really noticed him, so all were stunned at his sudden approach. Specially, Leo. He throws a cold glare at his father, displeased much. "Stop ruining his habit," Alex muttered coldly. "But..." Chloe tried to interrupt but his one gaze and she was silent. "He is heavy. It will hurt your legs and I don't want
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 32. Love will bloom in the Rossi palace.
Time ticked with the same course of events and the couple lying on the sofa suddenly fell on the other dimension. With their eyes locked and racing heart, which was more influenced by the sultry breeze of wind, they were lost in each other. They forgot to breathe, to know what is happening. It's just two people who were attracted to each other without any thought. Alexander watched her flushed face closely even. They were so close and their body clinging to each other. He never really desired to be with a woman. But with her, it's getting difficult each time to ignore her presence. This time, he is on top of her. Her perfectly shaped delicate figure was just helpless under him. The authority grows in him and the vulnerability of her awakens the suppressed hunger. Slowly he leaned his face toward her, closing all the distance between them. At the moment, he only wanted to taste those lips, they were begging him to do it. He wanted to bite those rosy cheeks and savour them. He did

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
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,
