Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 82. Your guess was right.
"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
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 83. Congratulations...
"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

Chloe was so happy, hearing the news. However, her happiness lowered a bit, recalling the past incident and this did not go unnoticed by her husband. "What happened, dark eyes? Are you not happy?" Chloe stepped aside and walked toward the window. A sigh escaped her lips as she looked at the unknown. "I am happy, Alexander. It's just... I could let the fear go of losing once again..." She sighed. Chloe never really shared much about her past with him. Although he knew it by the background check, she wanted to share her feelings from that time. He surely knows the incidents but not her emotions. "Years ago, I might have gotten pregnant without consent, yet I started to find a light of hope. I was so happy for a new chapter in my life and then..." She turned to her husband with teary eyes. "Then everything was shattered and dreams have vanished. I lost my all hopes to live, Alexander." "All of you always questioned why am I so drowned to Leo. You always wondered for a reason. But I
Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke 87. Can we have some alone moments?
Chloe stared at the headline on the paper. Her whole body seemed to float and everything has vanished around her. It was only her and those few easy words, holding her dear life into them. Slowly, she caressed her wobbly fingers on the black and bold words. 'The DNA report of Chloe Isabelle and Leonor Rossi'. 'DNA matches: 99.9%' According to the report, there was not a single doubt that she was his biological mother. Gradually, she once again returned to the world and she had automatically turned to the little fellow, sleeping peacefully. She remembered well how he called her 'mama' at their first meeting and the pull of closeness she felt toward the little child. That wasn't a coincidence at all, but the hint of something amazing. It took them months to realise this truth, but nature has found the truth in the very beginning yet no one understood. "H-he is my son... M-my own son..." She muttered to herself, trying to process the reality. Reality has always been hard for Ch

"Thank you, for trusting me," Anthony spoke lowly, sitting on the sofa in the other room. Ast. Carson was standing in front of the room and Igor too. Alexander wasn't very sure to let her be alone with his grandfather. However, Anthony did not seem to mind that and concentrated on talking to Chloe."I have heard what happened..." He sighed. "Never thought a mother could do this to her child." He shook his head. "Alice really overdid it. But I am glad both my Alex and Leo have you." Chloe heard his words and pursed her lips. She wasn't really sure whether to let him know the truth and finally, she decided to say it. "Alice was not Leo's biological mother." She uttered and Anthony frowned. "What?" Chloe nodded her head. "Yes. Four years ago, she hid him from his real mother and in exchange handed her a dead child. For years, she thought her child was born dead and kept blaming herself. Whereas that filthy woman has taken away her son for her own selfish motive... But at least, he gr

A few days later, "Did you tell her yet, Alexander?" Riley asked on the face time and Alex shook his head with a sigh. "I don't know how to do that, Riely. She... She is so happy right now and I don't know how to say this to her." Alex felt stressed and scared. Chloe was living happily. If he told her the complications of her pregnancy, she would be broken. "Alexander, I know this is very much unusual for both of you. But as you know, the chances are fifty per cent. If any complication starts taking over, she will be scared, and knowing you knew it from before and did not tell her, she would be broken. She should be prepared for all the situations that could cross your path. Moreover, as a mother, she deserves to know. Remember one thing, a mother needs to know every detail of her situation, so she can be mentally prepared because she is the one going to give birth and your responsibility is to be her moral support." Alex nodded his head. "You are right, I will tell her soon." R

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

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

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,
