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
Hearing the Duke's words, Hunter's soul trembled. It was true that he had not put any fraud in the deed. But he had never wanted the shares to be transferred to his wife's name, leaving Duke out.It seemed to him that he was playing chess very skillfully. And at the last moment, that bastard Duke changed everything in the chess game with one single move. With one move from the Duke, everything he had planned so far was over."Duke, in our family, shares are never transferred to a female. So you can't do this either," Hunter told Duke."I don't care what anyone does or has done. And I am not your family anymore. I left your name a long time ago and took my Mother's name. I am Duke Winters now, not Duke Sullivan.So, I am not obligated to follow your family's so-called rules. I will do what I think is right and good. The shares in my name will be transferred to my wife's name. And that is my last word," Duke said to him. Hunter was very angry after hearing Duke's words, but he didn't r
Lelia never imagined that she would fall in love with Duke. Because Duke never even tried to win her love. Duke never expressed his love to her with a red rose. Never gave her a love letter. He didn't even tell her that he loved her for once. He didn't demand love from her for once. He just silently fulfilled his duty. He gave her everything without asking for anything in return from her. He came to save her without caring about his life.Despite having right over her, he never tried to have a physical relationship with her. He never even stayed in the same room with her, thinking that she might feel uncomfortable.Duke didn't do anything. So why did I fall in love with him? The feelings I have for Duke, I never had for Liam. Liam told me he loved me, and at one point, I accepted it. But I never feel the feeling of love. That is what I do now.My heart trembles at the thought that Duke will suffer for me. My Mother used to tell me that no force can work in love. No excuses. Love does
When Lelia came out of the office, she saw Duke standing in front building waiting for her. Lelia was surprised to see one thing that Duke was standing next to a car."Oh my God! Did he spend money on renting the car again?" Lelia said to herself and quickly walked towards Duke.Duke was a little surprised to see Lelia walking towards him quickly. Before he could say anything, Lelia told him, "Please don't tell me you rented this car."Hearing Lelia's words, Duke smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, I didn't rent the car. My boss gave me this car to use today.""Why would your boss suddenly give you his own car to use? Duke, are you trying to mislead me by renting a car?" Lelia asked him."Not at all. When you called, I was trying to finish my work quickly. Seeing me in such a hurry, my boss asked me the reason. When I told him that I was going to meet my wife, he told me to work slowly and allowed me to use his car for today. I didn't want to take it but he forced me." Duke made up
David was shocked, as if he had seen a ghost, when he saw Duke enter the house with Lelia.He looked at his wife with wide eyes. But when he saw that Angelina was normal, he was shocked again. He thought that Angelina would be very scared seeing Duke in this condition."Honey, you didn't tell me why our son-in-law had an accident? Our son-in-law had to suffer and come here in this condition because of me. If you had told me, I would never have asked them to come like this. And I would have to go to see them myself. You did wrong. You should have told me," Angelina told David.David looked at his daughter in surprise when he heard Angelina's words. Lelia placed the gift boxes on the table without saying anything."What are these?" David asked Lelia, looking at the gift box."Our son-in-law brought the gifts for us," Angelina said with a smile and helped Duke sit on the sofa.David was a little surprised to hear that Duke brought gifts for them. "Son, wait a minute, I will get you some
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,
