Lelia left the office and instead of waiting for the bus, she hailed a taxi and headed towards her Father's apartment. She didn't wait for the bus as she wanted to see her parents as soon as possible. Half an hour later, when the taxi stopped in front of the building. Lelia paid the fare and ran inside the building.She was so excited to meet her parents that she didn't wait for the elevator and quickly ran up the stairs. Panting with exhaustion, she stopped in front of the door and rang the bell.Standing there she started fixing her messy hair. When she was done she rang the bell again. After a while, David opened the door and Lelia looked at her Father with a smile.David was very surprised to see her there."Lelia, what are you doing here, dear? Why did not you tell me that you were coming here?" David asked her"I am sorry, Dad. I know you told me not to come here, but I really want to see you and Mom. That is why I came here without informing you. Even if Mom mistreats me, I won
"Did I unknowingly mistreat my daughter, David? I was so angry with Lelia that I never once asked her why she did this to Liam. And if Liam was really cheating on her, why didn't she tell me? Did she think I would not believe her if she told me that Liam was cheating on her? Or did she think I would tell her to stay with Liam even if he cheated on her? I can't believe she hid this from me. Am I untrustworthy to her?Why have you been hiding this from me for so long, David? Why didn't you stop me when I mistreat my daughter again and again? Why did you also keep quiet? What is the reason behind this? What really happened, David? Please tell me everything. Don't hide anything from me anymore. If I really did wrong Lelia, I will never forgive myself.Don't make me do something unknowingly which I would never do. I know that I should not take any stress. The doctor has told me not to take stress. Maybe that is why you both hid this from me. You both did not tell me this because you both t
The next day, when Lelia was about to enter the office. She saw an old man looking at the office building.The man was looking at the building intently as if he was thinking about something. Lelia looked around but she didn't find anyone around. So, she walked up to the old man and asked, "Grandpa, are you looking for someone?"Henry was looking at the Winters Group building intently. Who will believe this gigantic, powerful company was on the verge of collapse a few years ago?And today, it standing again with its head held high at the peak of success. This is all because of a certain person. And it was no other than Duke. Since Duke took charge of the company, the company has been growing towards prosperity as if the company had been waiting for him for so long.The company was waiting for the Duke to come so it could hold his hand to reach the peak of success. After Duke's arrival, the company seemed to have regained its life once again."Like you, I have regained my life once aga
"Why did you come to the office with a tiffin box? Did you also leave the house without having breakfast in the morning?" Henry asked her"No. I left the house after having breakfast. I brought it with me in case I feel hungry later," Lelia lied to him.Thinking that if she told him that this tiffin box she brought for Rose, the old man might say that he did not want to eat it. That is why she told him that she had brought it in the tiffin box to eat later."Then why are you giving me your breakfast? What will you eat if you feel hungry later? You should keep this for yourself" Henry told her"If I feel hungry later, I will order something and eat it. And you need this more than me. So don't insist. This food is okay. I didn't use any unhygienic things in it. It is very beneficial for your health," Lelia told him.Hearing Lelia's words, Henry smiled and picked up the tiffin box in his hand then started. Seeing him eat, Lelia smiled and poured a glass of water for him and put it on the
Man is a slave to habit. When he is happy. When luck is on his side. He forgets about the dangers that might anytime come his way. He wants to live with his happiness forever forgetting about everything. That is exactly what happened to Duke. Since luck was on his side. He thought everything would go according to his plan.He would finish everything according to his plan and then tell his Grandfather about Lelia. But he forgot that luck will not always stay on his side. Sometimes luck changes naturally and a source of sorrow comes into a person's life. Unexpected dangers come that no one could ever imagine. But just as there is joy and happiness, the presence of dangers in a person's life is an inevitable fact. No person is equal every time.It is natural that there will be ups and downs in life. However, when danger comes, one should not give up, but rather face it and move forward, and that is where the value of life lies. His Grandfather often used to say, do not ignore danger bli
Henry nodded in agreement and said, "If you have so much faith in my choice, then you should also believe that the girl is good. And with this faith, you should marry her. Duke, a good girl does not come again and again in life. This is like a golden opportunity in your life. You should obey me and marry her. And if you do not believe in your Grandfather's choice, then tell me this directly to my face.If you say no to my face, I will never force you again. Even if you do not take this opportunity, I believe Stanley will take it.I always wanted you to marry the girl of your choice. So that there would be no problem in your married life. That is why I never forced you. Yes, I asked you to go on dates with many girls, but whenever you told me that you did not like them, I did not say a word.Because I did not want to do anything against your choice. I have given you enough time. So it is not possible for me to give you more time. This time I am forced to force you.If you do not marry
It was lunchtime at the office, and Lelia was sitting in her cabin thinking about her Father's words.Once she thought of hiring someone to introduce himself as Duke to her Mother, but the next moment, when Duke's troubled face flashed before her, she put that thought aside. Duke trusted her. Is it right to hurt a person who has gone through hardships all his life? Is it right to cheat on someone who has been cheated on by everyone?Lelia realized that if she did this, a lot of distance would be created between her and Duke. Which she might never be able to bridge. Because once a distance is created, it can never be repaired. Just like a broken mirror can never be repaired. If the trust, once broken, it can never be repaired.Because trust is a subtle mental instinct that is born in the mind and it does not take long for it to be broken. Therefore, gaining trust and maintaining it is the most important thing for a person.Trust is very essential in the relationship she has with her h
When Duke entered Sullivan Company, it was four in the afternoon.He entered Sullivan Company and saw Hunter's secretary, Harry, standing there. Seeing Duke enter the company, Harry walked towards him and said, "Come with me. Your Grandfather has been waiting for you for half an hour."Harry said and took Duke to his Grandfather's cabin. When Duke entered the cabin, he saw his Grandfather, Hunter, and the person he hated the most in the world. The person who killed his mother. It was none other than Jackson. That useless person was unfortunately his Father."Why did you call me here?" Duke asked, looking directly at his Grandfather.Jackson got very angry when he heard Duke speak in a loud voice and was about to shout at him when Hunter gestured for him to be quiet."Even though it is past lunchtime, I know you haven't eaten yet. We can talk after we eat together," Hunter said sweetly. His words were dripping with honey. But that honey seemed poisonous to Duke."Why do you think I hav
"I'm sorry Dad, you have to worry about me. Tell Mom not to worry about me," Lelia said to her Father on the phone."Are you okay? Duke said you both went out of town. When will you be back?" David asked Lelia.Hearing that they were out of town, Lelia looked at Duke. Duke gestured for her to say yes."Dad, I am absolutely fine and yes, we are out of town. We will be back soon," Lelia said."Okay, then you guys come back and visit us. Your Mom misses you so much," David said to her. "Of course, Dad, we will come back and visit you," Lelia said, and David hung up the phone.When David hung up the phone Lelia looked at Duke. Duke said, "I told Uncle that we went out of town.""But why? Why did you lie to Dad? You could have told Dad the truth that I was in the hospital?" Lelia asked Duke in surprise."I was afraid that if I told Uncle that you were in the hospital, Uncle might think I was unworthy of you. Because I couldn't protect you when you were in danger. Uncle might think I was r
When the Duke ran into the room, he saw Lelia sitting in a corner of the room with her head in her hands, crying badly."Lelia," Duke called out.Hearing the Duke's voice, Lelia immediately looked up and burst into tears. Lelia stretched out her arms to hug Duke like a child who found her Mom after being lost. Duke immediately went to Lelia and hugged her, "Where have you been? Why did you leave me? I was scared. I was so scared. You are so bad" Lelia asked Duke in a complaining voice."I was talking to the doctor about your health, honey. I didn't go anywhere. Where would I go when my wife is here?" Duke replied and started gently rubbing her back."Duke, he tried to... he tried to touc...," Lelia couldn't finish her sentence and started crying. Duke gently touched Lelia's cheeks and said, "There is no need to say anything. Nothing happened. You are safe now and that is the most important thing to me. Forget everything as a bad dream, Lelia.""Duke, I didn't do anything. You must be
When no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, David looked at Jonathan with annoyance."By any chance did you bring me to the wrong address? I am telling you in advance that if you really brought me to the wrong place, it wouldn't be good for you," David said angrily. He was eager to see his daughter."Why would I bring you to the wrong address? There is no point in bringing you to the wrong address. What will I get by doing this? I brought you to the right address. I think there is no one at home or they are not opening the door on purpose," Jonathan said and kicked the door in annoyance.An old woman came out of the next door after hearing those noises. "Who are you? What do you want?" The old woman asked, walking towards them."We are here to see Duke and his wife. But they are not opening the door. Aren't they are home?" David asked."They are out of town. Lelia told me before they left that it would take a week before they returned. They are newlyweds, so I think
Duke was standing outside the hospital room, talking to the head of security."Sir, this was their premeditated plan. They kidnapped two guests who were coming to our party on the way and entered the party by impersonating them. The ones they kidnapped are still hospitalized. They tortured the old couple. Sir, I didn't know that someone would wear a realistic mask and enter the party like this. Forgive me, it was my fault. I should have been aware of this," The security head said, lowering his head in shame."You are not to blame here. I will bear all the medical expenses of the old couple. Make sure they get the best treatment and also make sure that this news doesn't get out. Tell the old couple that I have punished those kidnappers for kidnapping them. Break the arms and legs of all those who were involved in this with Liam and send them to jail. And make sure they spend their rest lives behind the jail" Duke ordered him. "Sir Liam's four scoundrel friends physically tortured that
"Has Lelia lost her memory? Why is she treating Duke like this? She is treating Duke like it is not Duke, her husband, but Liam, who tried to harm her. I can't figure out why she is treating Duke like this. Duke is not at fault here. What is happening, Stanley? Why she is behaving like this?" Xavier was too confused to understand the situation. He was pacing restlessly in Stanley's cabin. Stanley was bandaging Duke's wound again. Duke wasn't saying anything. He was quiet the entire time. His eyes were bloodshot.Stanley looked at Xavier once and then focused on bandaging him again. When he finished bandaging, he sat down in his chair and took off his gloves and threw them in the dustbin. Then he looked at Duke and said in a calm voice, "Lelia has suffered a great emotional trauma. Of all the men, she can now see Liam. She didn't treat Duke like that; she treated him like that, thinking he was Liam," Stanley explained everything in a calm voice. After hearing Stanley's words, Xavier w
Xavier was pacing restlessly in Stanley's cabin. He was very worried for Duke. He was all ready to follow Duke but Stanley stopped him and did not let him follow Duke. When Duke did not return even after a long time, he became very restless. "I should not have listened to you. I should have followed him by disobeying your request, Stanley. He went out in anger. Who knows what he will do," Xavier started muttering to himself."I trust he will not do anything that will upset Lelia. It was very important for Duke to spend some time alone for his mental peace," Stanley said, but inside, he was also very worried for Duke. He was regretting for stopping Xavier. Just as Xavier was about to say something, Duke opened the door and entered. Seeing Duke's blood-covered body, Xavier and Stanley ran to him."How did this happen? Are you okay?" Stanley began cutting Duke's shirt with the scissors."There's no need to be so nervous. The bullet exited my body. You just need to bandage it," Duke sai
Duke was still awake in the last hours of the night. He was still staring at Lelia. He was waiting for her to open her eyes. Suddenly his phone started vibrating in his pocket. Duke was a little startled and took the phone out of his pocket and saw that it was his Grandfather calling.Duke kissed Lelia's hand and gently placed it on the bed and went to talk to the balcony to talk to his Grandfather. Duke took a deep breath and received the call. Henry's worried and dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the phone, "I thought I was your lifeline, Duke. But you left me for your work on such an important day.If your departure was so important, why did you take Lelia with you? You could have left Lelia with me. You forced her to work on this holiday too. This is not right at all. I never expected this from you.""I am sorry, Grandfather. I didn't come from there willingly. The work was very important. Don't worry. I will appear before you with Lelia very soon. Now tell me why yo
After four long hours, Stanley came out of the operating theater and saw Duke sitting there devastated. His hair was disheveled and he still had the blood-stained shirt on.Duke looked up when the door opened. Stanley was shocked to see Duke's eyes. Duke's eyes were incredibly red.Seeing Stanley, Duke quickly went to him and asked about Lelia, "How is Lelia doing now? Can I see her?"As Duke entered the operating theater without waiting for Stanley's answer, Stanley grabbed his hand and said in a guilty voice, "I tried my best. The operation was successful, but the next 24 hours were very critical. If Lelia does not regain consciousness within these 24 hours, she will go into a coma. I am sorry, I can not give you permission to see her now. You can see her after she regains consciousness"Stanley spoke these words without looking at Duke. When Stanley told him, Duke went to the small glass. Through the glass, he looked into the operation theater. He saw Lelia was sleeping. There were
When Liam started to remove Lelia's dress forcefully, Lelia tried to save herself with all her might."Leave me" Lelia started to scratch and pinch Liam's face and hands. She thought it was better to die than to be raped by Liam"How dare you still fight with me? It looks like you want me to behave roughy with you. Then it's okay. I will show you what is called rough s*x. When I finish playing with your body, you will not be able to recognize your body. You will have so many scars on your body that you will never be able to count them. And, the scars will remind you of me for the rest of your life. You will never forget tonight. Tonight will be a cursed night for you for cheating on me," Liam said and started to tear Lelia's clothes with fury."Don't, leave me. I am telling you, leave me. Someone save me," Lelia cried and desperately called for help.Seeing Lelia screaming, Liam picked up his phone and started hitting Lelia's head repeatedly. Lelia started writhing in intense pain. Li
