Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 70. Give me a baby.
Chloe caressed the sleeping little fellow's back lovingly and waited for her husband to come. He has become a very busy man these days. Yet, she can't complain. The more huge the business, the more pressure of work arrives. And Chloe understood that. She is just a little impatient to ask him a few things. Finally, an hour later, Alexander entered the room and found her pacing around. He walked toward her and held her in his arms, sniffing her refreshing scent. "You're back..." Chloe muttered, inhaling his masculine scent and he hummed only. "Hmm... I missed you." He said and breaking hug, Chloe watched him in amusement. "Weren't we together just a few hours ago? Already missed me?" She finds this funny and childish for a grown man like him. He nodded seriously. "I do! I was missing you like crazy." He hugged her again and sighed in contentment. Both stood there for some time and finally, Chloe broke the silence. "Umm... Can I ask you something?" She asked. "Hmm." Alexander hum
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 71. Why it's always measured by blood bounds.
Chloe entered the Palace with a thudding heart. She arrived alone here, giving some excuses at home and thankfully, no one doubted her. The way Anthony sounded on the phone was not pleasant at all. His tone hinted a trouble and she was here to face it alone. First, she would learn what happened and then tell her husband. Did he get to know the truth already? Maybe, he did. But how? Alexander ordered everyone to seal every mouth in the castle, didn't he? Then how? Did anyone choose to betray him? Or, it was an outsider? Then again, how would an outsider know the inside news? Thinking this and that, Chloe finally stepped inside the main entrance of the palace and was gritted by assistant Carson. As usual, there was no expression on Carson's face. He slightly bowed at her and led the way. He brought her to the third floor, in Anthony's office. Unlike their other meetings, this one seems more formal and strange. When she was in, Anthony was sitting behind his desk, having his expen
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 72. I love him.
Chloe walked out of the palace. She answered Anthony so confidently, not letting him see her broken side. How could she not? She just came across the truth which is still unbelievable for her. Could it be all lies? Should she ask her mother about this? But, if she asks and this comes out as a lie, her mother would be hurt. But, what if this all are true? What would she do then? Chloe felt helpless and confused. She doesn't want to go back home. There she has to face everyone and she has no strength left. Asking the Chauffeur to return to the palace, she came out to the road and started walking without any direction. Her life suddenly felt like clueless. She does not know any goal in her life. As she was walking, drowned in her own sorrows, she did not notice she just came down on the main road, dangerously close to the speed-up cars. And as soon as she was about to step in the middle, she was pulled back by force and the back of her head hit something hard. Immediately, a speed-
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 73. Your bond is inseparable.
Away from the cliff, in the huge building of Perficient Global, The director Duke Alexander Rossi, strode out of the office in fury. He just got the news of Anthony Rossi calling his wife in the old palace. Alex knew what his grandfather wanted. He won't refuse her because her father's identity is unknown, but he is originally an orphan. Alexander gets to know this in the very beginning when he investigates her background. That time it wasn't clear who she really was. In fact, he does not know now either. But, he is trying to find it. It's not that he cares about it. His search is for her only. When she learned the truth, the question of her real parents would appear in her mind and at that time, he wanted to let her know. However, it seems, his plan was on Its way to ruin. When Alexander reached the old Palace, Anthony was sitting in the hall, thinking about that bold woman. How dare she argue on his face!? As he was very deep in thought, Alexander appeared. "Where is my Chloe
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 74. A new memory.
Soon, days passed by and times in the Rossi palace were by far the best. Alexander has discovered his wife's talent for painting and makes sure she gets proper training in it. After receiving academic lessons in arts, Chloe started doing more well. From a raw artist, she is turning into a professional one. Meanwhile, the growth in Leonor was noticeable. He still does not like touches, however, he now communicates more with his parents. Also, now he started conveying his emotions to others in small words, like 'yes and no'. Currently, Chloe is preparing for her first trial exhibition in the Adornet Art Gallery. She earned it by herself and was very happy to be selected for the exhibition. She has a month to create a painting for her exhibition and she is so concentrated on that. There is no way, she is gonna lose this incredible opportunity leisurely. Adornet is her dream and getting a chance for an exhibition there, needs luck and hard work. She could never waste this! She chos
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 75. They are all curious about you.
Soon, the big day comes and it's time for the great exhibition to start in Adornet Art Gallery. Chloe was very excited and nervous as well. Getting ready, she kept on looking at herself in the mirror with the same thought again and again. Would everything be alright? Because since morning, she was feeling quite a strange feeling. She wasn't sure why this feeling kept haunting her, it felt like, something bad would happen. Alexander noticed the restlessness and approached her from behind. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she did not notice her husband behind even after watching him. He hugged her from behind. "What happened? Are you finally thinking of the result?" Alex thought it was because of the exhibition result. From the beginning, Chloe was sure of her mind that, no matter what the result was, she only wanted to participate and that's her achievement. She is not here for any competition. A small smile formed on her lips. "Competition has never been my fear, my Duk
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 76. My wife, Chloe Isabelle.
The head employees of Perficient Global were also invited to the exhibition. Alexander made it happen because he wanted to announce his wife to the world. In his ambition, it happened for the first time and the employees were so excited for the new beginning. "Guys! Director has appeared!" The head of Management came hastily to the P.G group. "Okay, of course, he will come. He is the owner after all." The executive Marketing manager spoke. She mocked a little. Envious of the you head of Management. "Oh, come on. It's not about the director. It's about the woman he brought along..." She said, almost dropping a bomb, gaining the group's attention. "Woman?" One gasped and she nodded. "Yeah, a beautiful woman they say. They are just entering! Director with a woman! This is the breaking news now!" Her words started whispering around, even inside people and employees of Adornet also excited to see the lady he brought with him. And soon, to reduce all the curiosity of people, entered
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 77. You know what to do.
The moment those words left his mouth, Chloe was in full shock. He did it! Not only her but the whole hall. They were guessing she was his girlfriend or Mistress. But wife? The world did not see that coming... The news is on live telecast and people are watching their duke's confession to his wife and the huge announcement. Thousands of dreams were shattered and greed was broken. They all watched the new dutchess. Well, the unexpected one. And in everyone, Anthony Rossi was included too. He watched the Great announcement on the television screen and stared at the lovely couple blankly. He laughed bitterly, feeling enraged and betrayed by his own blood. He finally dared to do this, huh? He wanted to be good finally, but it seems, his own blood does not want him to stay well. "Carson..." He called for his assistant as he bowed slightly from beside, "Yes, Master?" Staring at the screen, eyes were dilated dark and cold. He blew the smoke of his expensive cigar. "You know what to do

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,
