Duke went into his room and opened the bedside drawer but there was no pack of cigarettes. He wanted to smoke to calm himself. Then he remembered throwing away all the packets of cigarettes long ago when Lelia told him she couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes. Lelia told him that she couldn't breathe when the smell of cigarettes hit her nose. She felt as if the smell of cigarettes was suffocating her. After hearing this, Duke stopped smoking altogether and threw all the cigarette packets in the dustbin. As he didn’t want to do anything which could harm his sweet wife. Duke closed the drawer and sat on the bed, thinking what to do now, when Lelia knocked on his door. Duke turned away from the door immediately. "Duke the food is ready. Please come out" Lelia's voice came from outside "I will be there in two minutes" Duke replied and put the mask on his face. He picked up the walking stick from the door and came out of the room. An awkward atmosphere prevailed at the dining table.
As James left the living room, John glared at Stella angrily and spoke up, "You are playing with my daughter again. I have let you do whatever you want to do before and never told you anything, but I am not going to let you do it again. Lelia just got out of a painful relationship. Her baby has died. Her a moment, for pity's sake. And you are thinking of marrying her with someone else. Don't you have any common sense, I won't let you do this injustice to my daughter, Stella?Stella smiled at John's words, then said, "You think it is what I want? No, it's Lilly's wish. Do you think my daughter will sit in tears and suffer day after day for that cheater Liam? Lilly is my daughter, she knows what is good for her. She would never put her life on hold for a cheater man.Lilly loved Jonathan's sincerity. She herself wants to be in a relationship with Jonathan. And I won't let you stop her at any cost. And you don't try to blame my daughter. All this is for your dear niece Lelia. She continu
"Lelia, I am asking you to forgive me so we can be one again, and you are telling me to stay away from you for the rest of my life? How could you say that? How can you be so cruel to me?" Liam said in a sad tone as if Lelia's words hurt. He looked at Lelia with a sad expression. "If you want me to forgive you then you have to accept my conditions. And one more thing, whether I forgive you or not, we can never be one again. I am a married woman. And I don't want to cheat on my husband under any circumstances. I have accepted him from my heart as my husband is,” Lelia said, and then a bus stopped there.Lelia got into the bus and the bus sped away. Liam clenched his teeth in anger. Liam's face contorted in anger, "What do you think? Just because you tell me to go away, I will listen to this bullshit and going to leave you? Never ever in this life. In this life, you have to be mine. I am going to take you away from that crippled killer no matter what. I will do anything to take you aw
"Duke, I think if Grandpa knew about this, he would have asked you directly about it. You know it very well that our Grandpa doesn't have a habit of twisting and turning matters. Whatever he says he says on the face. I think Grandpa invites everyone to his birthday party for another one we are all unaware of. Duke, why don't you tell Grandpa about Lelia when you are serious about her? You said she is the opposite type of person you thought of her" Stanley said to him. "Grandpa will never be happy to know that I married a girl for taking revenge on the Sullivan Family. He will be very disappointed if he finds out I only married the girl for the shares of Sullivan Company. I don't want to disappoint him in any way. Grandpa has already suffered a lot in life. I don't want to make him unhappy even if I can't give him happiness. I will definitely tell Grandpa about Lelia when everything is settled” Duke said and took a deep breath. Duke himself knows that the sooner he told his grandfath
After office hours, Lelia left the office and took a taxi to the shopping mall.After a while, the taxi stopped in front of the shopping mall; Lelia paid the taxi fare, got out of the taxi, and entered the shopping mall.As Lelia walked up to the counter, a sales girl approached her and asked with a smile, "Good evening Ma'am. Welcome to our shopping mall. How may I help you?""Good evening. I want to buy a wedding ring. Please show me some simple wedding rings" Lelia said to her"Sure, Ma'am. Please come with me" The sales girl said and walked towards the counter. Lelia followed her. "Ma'am, please sit here," The sales girl said and took out the wedding ring train from the drawer and placed it in front of Lelia.Lelia's eyes widened as she looked at the wedding ring's tray. Because all the expensive rings were arranged on the tray. Even though she gave her whole year's salary, she still couldn't afford one ring from the tray. "Ma'am these are the best collection of wedding rings. Y
As Lelia stormed out of the shopping mall, her phone began to vibrate in her bag.She took the phone out of the bag and saw it was Duke's call. Lelia took a deep breath to calm herself. As she was so angry she could shout at Duke to vent her anger on him. And she didn't want that. She didn't want to talk rudely with Duke. When she calmed down a little bit, she pressed the green button and put the phone on her ear. As Lelia answered the phone, Duke said from the other end of the phone, "Lelia, I'm so sorry. I forgot to give you the wedding ring. I thought when we came home after our wedding, I would give you a ring. I didn't bring the ring to the wedding because the ring is very old. I thought you didn't accept it back then. But later, when I felt you were a good person, I wanted to give you the ring, but I forgot. I opened the drawer to find a paper today, and I found the ring. You must be very angry with me for not giving you the wedding ring, aren't you? I really forgot to give you
Duke attended three back-to-back meetings and completed them quickly. Then he came home. He planned to arrange a surprise dinner for Lelia today. Today was their one-month anniversary of marriage. He wanted to do something special for her. He decided to cook for her. After cooking her favorite dishes, he put everything on the dining table. Then he took out many candles from the drawer and started setting the dining table.When the candles were arranged, he took out the roses from his bag which he had bought on the way home. He scattered the flower petals on the dining table and put some flowers in a vase and placed it middle of the dining table.After lighting the candles, he turned off all the lights in the dining room to see what his arrangement looked like.As soon as he turned off the light, a monstrous sight caught Duke's eye. The sweet scent of roses came to his nose.The rose petals looked like red pearls under the bright candlelight.Duke smiled in satisfaction and turned th
With trembling hands, she put her hand gently on the Duke's cheek. Duke looked up at her, feeling the warm touch of Lelia's hand.Duke looked down with an unknown fear.He thought that seeing his beaver face would make Lelia look disgusted of him. He was afraid to see the expression on her face. He didn't want to see Lelia's hatred and fear of him. He held his breath and waited for Lelia to say something. His heartbeat was very fast."You have been in a lot of pain, haven't you?" Lelia asked tearfully.Hearing Lelia's sobbing voice, Duke was surprised. He looked at her and saw tears welling up in Lelia's eyes."Those must hurt you a lot, didn't they?" Lelia asked again. Now she could not hold back her tears. Tears started rolled down on her cheeks."I am sorry. I hurt you so much without understanding. I forced you to take off your mask in front of me. I hurt you a lot, didn't I? I didn't know the depth of your wounds. I never would have forced you if I had known. Forgive me, Duke. P
When Duke pinned Lelia to the bed in the blink of an eye and got top of her, Lelia screamed in surprise.When Duke felt someone was going to touch him, he immediately grabbed her hand. He thought someone was doing this to attack him, but when he heard Lelia scream, he opened his eyes immediately. When he saw Lelia looking at him in horror. At first, he didn't understand why Lelia was looking at him like this, but later, when he realized their position, he immediately moved away from Lelia.As soon as Duke moved away from her, Lelia got off the bed."I am sorry. I thought someone was going to attack me," Duke apologized sincerely."It is not important now. What is important is what you are doing here. This is my room. What are you doing in my bed?" Lelia asked Duke confusingly. Duke rubbed his face and looked at Lelia, "I had a nightmare last night. I felt very restless. I couldn't calm myself down. So I came to your room. I tried to leave your room after spending some time here but
Suddenly, Duke's head started to hurt badly. Since the pain in his head suddenly started, Duke frowned and closed his eyes. After a while, when his headache subsided a little, Duke opened his eyes and found himself in an unknown place. In a dark room.Duke looked around in surprise. He did not understand how he suddenly came to this dark room. The room was so dark that Duke could not see anything."What am I doing here? How did I come here? What is this place? I need to find a way out of here," He said and tried to look around.Duke tried to find a way out of this dark room, but since the room was extremely dark, he could not find any exit door.Finding no way out, Duke started walking in the darkness. But after going a little far, he stumbled upon something.Duke immediately stopped and sat down. Since he couldn't see what he had hit, he raised his hand and understood that a person was still lying there."Oh, no. It is a person. What is this place?" Duke muttered in confusion. "Who
When lunch time started, Lelia stopped working, took out her phone from her bag, and called Duke to check his condition.Duke was checking a file when his phone rang. A delicate smile appeared on his face when he saw Lelia's name on the phone screen.He answered the phone without delay. As he answered the phone, Lelia's worried voice was heard from the other end of the phone, "Duke, how are you now? Has the pain in your hand subsided? Have you eaten?" Lelia asked Duke in one breath. Duke smiled softly and felt very lucky to have Lelia as his wife. Seeing Duke silent, Lelia said in a worried voice, "Why are you silent? Are you in pain? If you have any problem, tell me immediately and I will come to you from the office right away.""Lelia, I am absolutely fine. My hand does not hurt now. And no, I have not eaten yet but I will eat now," Duke spoke up immediately as he did not want to worry his sweet little wife. "You see, your pain has decreased because of taking medicine. You did not
After leaving the interrogation room, Duke entered his cabin and slammed the door in anger. Every cell in his brain was repeatedly ordering him to kill that bastard Luke or crush every single bone in his body to make him handicap. In his opinion, the person who cheats on someone is mentally handicapped. So, there is nothing wrong with making him physically handicapped as he is already mentally handicapped. Duke rubbed his face to control The killing desire inside him he failed. Unable to control his anger, Duke entered the washroom and started splashing water on his face. When the cold water touched his face, he calmed down a bit. He splashed water on his face a few more times and came out of the washroom wiping his face with a handkerchief.Mark was standing next to Duke's desk. When Duke came out of the washroom, Mark said, "I didn't think you would let go of that cheater so easily. I thought you would beat the cheater until you ended up breaking some of his bones. Your lawyer, he
After listening to Duke, Stanley did not say anything to him. He looked down at his hand and quietly began to examine the wound on Duke's hand. When he was sure that nothing was stuck in the wound, he began to bandage it.After finishing the bandage, Stanley took off his gloves and sat on the chair in front of Duke. "Duke, the incident that happened in your company is very normal. This incident is happening in some companies every day. You have every right to be angry about it, but you have no right to harm yourself out of anger. What did you gain by harming yourself, huh? Did you find that deceitful person by harming yourself like this? Duke, don't forget that your life is not yours alone. Someone else's life is now involved in your life, and that is your wife.Before you harm yourself, think about your wife. The girl waiting for you outside of the room actually cares for you. Even seeing this small wound on your hand, she is so worried as if something big has happened.Do you know h
Lelia quickly entered the kitchen and leaned against the kitchen wall. Putting her hand over her pounding chest she started breathing rapidly.Her chest was still pounding. Duke's impudent words were still ringing in her ears.Remembering Duke's words, Lelia's face turned red with embarrassment and her heartbeat started to increase.Her heart was pounding so loudly in her chest that it felt like it would burst out at any moment. She started slapping sightly on her pounding chest to calm it down. "Why is it pounding so loudly after hearing Duke's vulgar talks? Don't you have any shame? Stop pounding so loudly," Lelia started scolding her pounding heart.But there is something unusual? Very unusual.."One thing doesn't enter my mind. Who is Duke's boss? That day, his boss gave him his own car to use. Now his boss said that he would make all the arrangements for Duke to go on his honeymoon because yesterday he worked all night. Why is his boss doing this? The day those two drunk men tri
Duke quickly drove home as the road was empty early in the morning.Leaving the car in the parking area, Duke ran into the elevator and pressed the button. After a while, when the elevator stopped at their floor, Duke quickly got out and started walking towards the apartment.Standing in front of the apartment, he took a deep breath and entered. When he entered he froze as he saw Lelia sitting on the sofa with her head buried between her legs. But the most shocking thing was that her body was shaking intermittently as if she was crying."Lelia?" Duke called Lelia in a calm voice. Hearing Duke's voice, Lelia immediately looked up. Duke noticed that Lelia's eyes were red and swollen. He understood she must have been crying for a long time."Lelia what ha...?" Before Duke could finish speaking, Lelia ran over and hugged him tightly."Lelia, what happened?" Duke hugged Lelia tightly and asked. But Lelia didn't answer. Duke felt his shirt getting wet. Lelia was crying silently again fistin
When Lelia returned home after finishing her work, it was seven in the evening. She was late to return home today due to the traffic jam.When Lelia entered the house, she saw that the lights in the house were turned off. Lelia understood that Duke had not returned home yet. "Where is he? He was supposed to be home by now?" Turning on the living room light, Lelia sat on the sofa and took out her phone from her bag, and called Duke.When Duke received the call, she asked in a worried voice, "Where are you? Why haven't you returned home yet?""I have some extra work today. I will be late. Don't wait for me. You eat and go to bed," Duke told her."Don't worry about me. You finish your work and come home quickly," Lelia said and Duke hung up the call.Put down the phone, Duke looked at his secretary Mark with annoyance. He was preparing to leave the office after finishing his work when Mark told him that two people had arrived from abroad and they wanted to meet him urgently.The meetin
Hearing her boss's words, Lelia reached the highest level of shock. For a moment her mind stopped working. Then she pinched to see if she seeing a dream or not. When she pinched her arm and felt pain her eyes became wide. She immediately thought that she might have heard wrong.Lelia looked at her boss. Her boss's incredibly handsome face now seemed terrifying to her."I think I heard something wrong. Would you please repeat what you said," Lelia asked him, really thinking that her boss made a mistake or she had heard wrong."You didn't hear anything wrong, Mrs. Lelia. I said what you heard," Duke replied naturally. Hearing his words, it seemed that he was talking about something very normal.Hearing this, Lelia's two eyes turned red with anger. Her hatred for her boss began to build in her heart. She couldn't imagine the man she considered her idol could say something like this. Yes, she always thought of him as her idol. "If you think that by bringing me here and treating me well,
