"Are you sure to go back, sire?" Cornell asked his boss. Alessio stopped the huge telecast of the new dutchess and tossed the phone aside. His lips curved into a small as he looked up at his assistant. "Was I uncertain while making the decision?" "No, sire." Cornell shook his head. "Good, now where is it?" Cornell stepped a little backward and stretched his hand to the right side. "This way, sire." Alessio followed Cornell and he stopped in the private room in the jet. "It's already placed in your room, sire." He opened the door for him. Alessio went inside and on the bed, a huge canvas was waiting for him, wrapped in paper. He opened it and a very beautiful painting came into view. It says, 'The Memories' - R.V. "Isn't it beautiful, Cornell?" Alessio asked, watching the painting in adoration. "Yes, sire. James D. won't buy anything if it does not touch his heart." He smiled. "That's true though. She is talented and it does really touch my heart." He stated and Cornell nodd
The little fellow stared at the tray of food before him and frowned, looking up at the people who dared to touch him and kidnap him. He was disgusted and angry. All he was doing was waiting for his parents to return after Chloe's huge success. He has seen them on television and wished to be with them. However, he was also happy when she smiled. But then suddenly, everyone around started falling asleep and before he could know these disgusting people came and picked him up from the palace. He wanted to struggle out but his body and strength were too little to fight against them. Now, he is here, stuck between these filthy people. He just hopes his parents quickly find him and take him back home. "He exactly looks like his father." Damien Bradford stated, watching the little child. "And cold too." Alice scoffed. "Just like his father." "Isn't he your son?" Damien turned to her and she raised her brow. "Any doubt?" "Then why he does not like you but that woman? That lowly maid
Eighteen hours passed after the kidnapping ... "Chloe, darling, eat something, please." Jessica coaxed for the hundredth time helplessly. "If you do like this, you are gonna fall sick. Do you want that for yourself, baby?" Holding the blocks in Leo's bed, Chloe kept crying for the whole night, not touching a drop of water. She did not leave the bed for a second and kept hallucinating the little child around her. Even, Alex failed to understand her. "I can't..." Her tone was broken by all the crying. "Nothing will go down my throat, mama. He doesn't eat if I don't feed him. He waits for me to return home so we can eat together even if it's past his dinner time. He doesn't let others touch him." Chloe grabbed her mother's hands. "Mama, how is he? What is he doing now? I am sure he is waiting for me to save him. A-and what am I doing here? I... I couldn't even protect him! I couldn't be his mother! I... failed..." Chloe started crying. Everyone was worried because of the kidnapping
It was a voice message from a private number on Chloe's phone. The voice was robotic and the location was imbalanced. The kidnappers demanded ten million euros without hesitation. They asked for ten million euros soon to be transferred into an anonymous bank account which seemed impossible to Crack at that point. Also, send Leo's frightened photo as proof. Which, broke Chloe more. Seeing the Little fellow scared and pale, she almost lost her consciousness. And Alexander, as furious. Because of those morons, both his wife and son were hurt. He would not let go once he got them. With the police force, now joined the Vikings and started locating the IP address. And soon, by the dual force, the exact location was traced and the whole squad of Vikings and police force were set to free their future Duke. Alexander and Cameron were joining the team. Chloe demanded to join them. She wanted to be there when her little child was rescued. He must have needed his mother at that time. She wa
"One step ahead and I will slit his throat," Margot said. Her tone was cold and her eyes even colder. The true cruelty she has not even Alexander could gain it. "No!" Chloe gasped. Her world started spinning around at the sight of little Leo. He was almost unconscious in their hold and her heart was aching for him. "Mrs. Clowne, stop this game. It won't do any good to you or your daughter." Alexander spoke this time. His tone was harsh and cold. The touch of fear was invisible in his words. yet his heart was beating louder than ever. He could not lose his calm, not now. "Let us go, Duke Rossi and this time sent twenty million euros in my personal bank account, or else..." She gestured to her hand that was holding the knife. Alexander raised his hand. "Okay, you will get it. Just let my son go." "We will let us go first." She demanded and at Alexander's gesture, everyone stopped. However, both women did not notice two Vikinh squad behind them. They crawled out from the very depth
"It does not only end here, Alexander," Richard added the word after clearing the doubts, making Alex frown in the exact moment of excitement. Richard smiled at his confused face. "Congratulations brother, you are gonna be a father for the second time." Alex blinked his eyes. That was a real surprise there. He not only learns about the truth, but he also gets to know that he is gonna be a father again by the same woman. Like is really a blessing for him today. However, before the excitement could high up, Richard's next words really broke it. "I know, this is very happy news for both you and Chloe. But..." He signed. "But what, Richard? Stop playing with my patience." Alex snapped at him. "After she gave blood and fell weak, we went through a full body checkup of your wife. We got to know about her pregnancy and also we have learned about a problem..." "What problem?" "Previously, her birth was unnatural. She was medicated for labour pain. Now, we are not sure if it was known or
"Wh-what!?" Cameron wasn't ready for the huge shock. For the first time in his career, he let out his true emotion. For the first time, he lost control and only turned to his boss. Alexander was blank. He kept staring at the woman, giving her that one last chance of her life to speak. Alice nodded her head in the answer and continued. "Yes, Chloe is the birth mother of Leonor." A sigh escaped her lips, as she recalled the memories that started four years ago. "Chloe is the misbegotten child of Aunt Jessica. When our grandmother was alive, she accepted Chloe as the one in the family when aunt returned two years later with her. Chloe was pretty weak, I remember and grandma actually accepted aunt along with her baby, even though because of her the family needed to suffer disgrace." "Father was always on the opposite side of Aunt Jessica. But because he loved Grandma so much and respected her, he couldn't say anything against her decision and Chloe started growing up with us.""Almost
Alice stared at the cold man in disbelief. She struggled to set free her hands. "Wh-at are you saying!? I-I did not lose my sanity!" She screamed, yet Alex did not bother and turned to leave. "Alexander! You promised to let me go! You can't do that to me!" She again tried to set her free which was just an illusion of her that she could do it. Alexander paused and turned to her. His brow raised and the corner of his lips curved a bit into an evil smirk. "Do you think of me as Chloe?" He shook his head. "I am not even slightly compared to her gooness, Miss Clowne. They don't call me 'evil Duke' just like that..." Throwing his last words at her scared face, Alex looked up at his assistant. "Cameron?" "yes, director?" "Make sure she gets company with her mother in the asylum." "Yes, director."******** Alexander returned to the room where his wife and son were kept. When he went inside, Chloe was already awake, talking to her mother, sitting beside Leonor. The little Leo was stil
