Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 37. Good News.
Chloe stared at the phone screen. It kept ringing continuously, increasing the tension in her heart rapidly. Dr Chen is her mother's assigned doctor. In any situation, he calls her and most of the time, it's not good. Especially, when he calls out of his regular time. After a few seconds of ringing, the phone turned silent, numbing her senses along. Inhaling a deep breath she dialed his number but his call appeared again. This time she picked up the call immediately. "Dr Chen?" Her tone was low and scared. "Thank God you received the call, Chloe. Did I disturb you?" She shook her head. "No, of course not! Is..." She gulped before speaking again, "Is everything alright, doctor?""Oh, of course, it is..." He said casually. "I have news for you, a good one so I called you this time." He explained and Chloe leaned on the chair in relief. Her body just lost all the weight and she felt so light like the wind. "What is the news Doctor?" Her fear turned into curiosity now. Dr Chen smil

"What!?" Melissa almost screamed but Chloe covered her mouth and glared at her. "Shh! Don't scream!" Again she watched the little fellow and huffed in relief when she find him busy with his toys. Turning her gaze to her best friend, Chloe leaned against the wall tiredly. "I really don't know what to do now. He even made me sign the contract for that..." She muttered helplessly and sighed heavily. Melissa did not know what to say. "Well, it's worst than being in debt. The more you will be close to that man, your barrier will lessen from the truth you are hiding, Belle..." "I know. One year is too long to survive in a lie. Not even a month passed and I am already tired, Melissa." Her tone started breaking emotionally. Both friends stayed silent for some time and then suddenly a thought crossed Melissa's mind. She stood straight in excitement. "Wait, isn't the Duke impotent?" "Huh!?" Chloe did not understand at first but then the realisation hit her all of a sudden. She also heard

'Get on the bed.' The cold words fell, freezing her on the place. Chloe blankly stared at the cold man. Who the hell turned so direct with such a thing!? Get on the bed? Well, she did not expect him to come to her romantically either. But, still, wasn't it too much? Watching her standing like a statue, he frowned, "Why are you still not moving?" "Ah! ye-yeah... I am..." She gulped and took a step forward. Her hands and feet were sweating in fear. Reaching near the bed she paused. "I... I can't." She blurted out those words. "Why not?" Alexander walked forward. "Do you forget the contract you signed?" "Umm... I can but not now... Not tonight. I... I am having my that time in a month." She muttered suddenly obsessed with her fingers. "What time?" Alexander was confused. What is wrong with this woman? "Menstruation..." Her tone turned even lower in embarrassment. Alexander "....." How does sleeping matter with her monthly? What is wrong with this woman!? A deep frown wrinkled h

Time ticked and Chloe laid the same way in his arms. Unaware of time, Chloe was wide awake. His steady breaths were falling on her neck, Announcing his inactive nervous system and tickling all her hyperactive nerves. Alexander kept his promise. Other than holding her, he did not go any further. His genuine tone and considerate action have given her a sense of security. He might be a cold man in his usual appearance but till now she never felt insecure in an abusive way. He might hate her, scold her, but still he was the safest she has come across. Even when the kiss happened between them, it was consensual. Almost feels like a kind man is hiding beneath his tough personality. Slowly, she turned around to his face. Yeah, she was right. He has fallen asleep. And for the first time, she is facing the sleeping Alexander Rossi. Somehow, it hits differently. Perhaps, a little bit dreamy. She could not help but check him out. Undoubtedly, he is more breathtaking from the close proxima

The situation was quite intense for Chloe. She laid steel, not daring to move and heard a steady sigh close to her ear. "You can go now." After a few moments, she heard his words again. This surprised her, however, she didn't have to tell again and immediately rolled off the bed. "I will be leaving then." Murmuring those words she rushed out of the room without sparing a single glance at the man. If she looked at him, she would have seen the amusement in his face. He already sensed her nervousness and let her go. When Chloe entered Leonor's room with hasty steps, she sighed in relief. The little fellow is still sleeping. Tiptoeing, she walked toward the bed and carefully tucked herself under the quilt beside the little guy. As usual, she wrapped her arms around him and lay peacefully. There is still enough time to start their regular day. She could get some more sleep, this time without any tension. ******** In the room, Alexander leaned on the bed, eyeing the huge wall clock

Chloe entered the car, following Alexander and finally caught her breath. This man is too much! They are even five minutes earlier today than their regular days! How could he blame her for being late? Flickering her eyes in annoyance, she looked out of the car window. Because of the father and son, she couldn't eat her breakfast well! What were they punishing her for? Guessing for a second, she dropped Leo's name and only focused on Alexander. Of course, that little fellow would never try to irritate her but his father. Surely, he was intentional. She watched him from the corner of her eyes. His recent behaviour is slightly weird. "But why?" She murmured to herself. Immediately Alexander turned to her with a frown. He was in a good mood after a long time of sleep. But, this woman had to ruin it! Now, what is she even blurting? "What are you blabbering now?" He snapped at her. Chloe did not realise she uttered her words loudly and but her tongue. Shaking her head she smiled coyly

At lunch time, Chloe went to the canteen and find all the women in pants. "So, he really made that impeccable change here..." She muttered under her breath before finding her seat in the corner. As usual, she was alone in her seat. While she was eating and watching Leo's sent photos, a group of three women came to the next table. Most times the tables around her remained empty but she came down at the proper lunchtime today, so it's a rush time in the canteen. At first, she did not mind those women but slowly, their words drowned her into their conversation. Woman 1: "I was too shocked getting the sudden notice this morning. I mean, who made that abrupt decision?" 'Absolutely!' Chloe agreed in her mind, still staring at her phone. Woman 2: "Yeah, same. But, whatever it is, this is one of the best rules I have come across so far. I mean, to create a competitive look was too time consuming and skirts also make an uncomfortable situation for us, don't you agree girls?" Three of th

Alexander was certain that the essence of his sleep was that particular rosy scent. However, his day-dream broke that very night when he once again fell asleep with Chloe beside him. He slept for over six hours this time and the next morning, he once again called his psychiatrist. Hearing what happened, Riley nodded her head in agreement. In her thirty years of career, she has witnessed lots of miracles. Mind is the only part of the human body that does not exist visibly but the action of hormones which has greater influence in our entire life. Every psyche is different and so does their cures. For Alexander and Leonor, the cure turned out a simple woman. The more Riely gets to know about Chloe, the more she gets curious to know about her. After entering the palace, she changed lots of equations and solved knotted problems that seemed impossible to solve. Riley also realised one special thing. Alexander did not only respond around her, but he also started growing his feelings for

Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 104. Epilogue II
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,
