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

  • Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke   44. Unknown emotions.

    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

    Chloe looked around. They are in a fine restaurant with a huge space. However, the whole place was empty but only two people. That's them. Alexander is sitting on the opposite, going through the menu. Gradually, he lost his patience and tossed the menu card on the table before calling the waiter, who was standing a bit away from them. Everyone was scared today. In the early morning, the Duke has arrived with a woman. God knows what's his plan but their life was in skate if anything goes wrong. So, everyone just rolled their sleeves and began working. "Yes sir? What would you like to have?" The waiter asked as politely as he could go. Alexander ordered their regular breakfast and then turned to Chloe. "What do you want?" Chloe blinked and shook her head. "I am fine with anything." She replied. With a nod, Alex ordered the same thing for her. She was a little startled. Does not matter if that was just a courtesy, but he actually asked her opinion. Chloe has always been following p

  • Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke   46. A glimpse of motherhood

    Alexander did not move for a good minute. That woman argued with him again, but this time he got to know another side of her. The part of motherhood. That he wished to have in his childhood. This woman resembles his mother in many ways. Not just their innocent and kind appearance but their likes and gestures. However, he has never seen his mother fighting for rights. Not for her neither for him. In childhood, he wanted his mother to fight for him just like Chloe did now. However, his mother never took the ground and always stays behind and received all abuse. When he was being disciplined by his father in cruel ways, his mother used to stay in one corner and shed tears that he despised. So for him, this has been the only way to live and he is the same with his son, excluding the physical abuses. Chloe is just a maid and she is scared at every point to be caught. However, her absolute fears did not stop her to stand up for Leonor. She is not even his real mother. Just a woman, Leo

    Alexander sent them home that day. There is no way he is gonna endure their PDA the entire time. Chloe did not mind either. She is happy to spend time with the little Leo. And Leonor's happiness is sky-high. In the afternoon They were spending peaceful time in the gazebo. While Chloe was teaching him how to draw Swan, Melissa prepared their afternoon snacks. When Leo is with Chloe he felt most secure. During that time he wouldn't bother anything around him and only concentrate on his work. So, the words spoken around him were safe Now-a-days. "Did you visit Jessica these days?" Melissa asked, carefully taking a look at the little fellow. Even though he won't eavesdrop on their words, it's always safe to be cautious. Taking a bite of a vanilla cake, Chloe shook her head. "After she was transferred to the first tier, I couldn't get time to visit her. Without doing any work, I am living the busiest life..." She sighed. "That's true. But, you should find a bit of time for her. After

    "Mm-mama!?" Jessica stared at her daughter and the little boy in shock. "Who is his mama?" Doctor Chen was surprised too. He knows Chloe for a very long time now and she never heard of her baby before. Where does this sudden baby appear? Melissa reacted quickly again and laughed, trying to lighten the situation. She stepped toward Jessica's bed more and lowered her tone, "This boy is our master's son. He is very fond of Chloe and calls her mama. Now you know, Children have a different mindset than adults." "Oh..." Both Jessica and Chen were relieved. Specially, Jessica. She was scared for a bit moment. Her daughter once suffered a traumatic situation and still suffers from that. How could she let her suffer more when she herself was a burden on her? Even though she did not hear, Chloe knows what Melissa said to them. They planned it before visiting her mother. When Jessica turned to her daughter for assurance, she nodded with a smile. Finally, all the tension was gone and Jessica

  • Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke   49. I am gonna sleep here tonight.

    Alexander sat on the sofa with his laptop on, waiting for his wife and son to return. Returning home he learned that Chloe has went out to see Melissa's mother in the hospital. Immediately he knew actually why she went out. He knows that Her mother needs urgent surgery. Cameron kept him informed about the situation every day. He has taken care of the fees and made it look like a research programme. Generally, Alex is not the intruder type but somehow he felt pity for the young woman's worthless hard work just because of her mother. She wants to save her mother at any cost and did not think of it once before jumping into the fire pit. After all her tries, what she got? Nothing... There was no value in her hard work. This is the principle of the world to be with power and ignore weaklings. And sadly but honestly, Chloe is a nobody. However, It wasn't entirely pity he feels for her. There was that strong urge to protect her from every cruelty. He only felt this for his son before and

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    '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,
