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
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you killed Duke. This will be confined to these four walls, so kill him without any second thought. Your criminal is in front of you. You can do whatever you want with him. I leave the decision up to you. I am giving you one day to kill him or I will stop his treatment. And the other way is to forgive him. You can choose any option; no one will force you," Stanley said, and Lelia began to cry silently. Stanley turned to leave, but before he left the room, he said, "Duke would rather die at your hands than by mine because he loves you more than his own life."Now you decide whether you want to spend the rest of your life with the man who loves you more than his life or kill him with your own hands." Stanley said in a rough voice and left the room and saw Xavier standing outside the room.Stanley glanced at Xavier and started walking towards his cabin. Xavier glanced at Lelia before the door closed and then he followed Stanley. "Was it really neces
Lelia looked at her husband and started thinking about the day when she found out about Duke's true identity. Starts flashback, when Lelia came out of the kitchen with a glass of juice for Amelia, she saw Amelia excitedly shaking the pictures hanging on the wall. Lelia looked at Amelia and smiled, "Do you like them?" Lelia asked her with surprise. She was surprised because Amelia, a rich girl, liked those simple, ordinary pictures. Amelia looked at Lelia and smiled, "I really like antique things. You guys have a great choice." Hearing Amelia's words, Lelia looked at her with confusion. "Antique things! Where did you see antique things? Those are just ordinary pictures nothing special?" Lelia asked her curiously. Amelia was very surprised to hear Lelia's words. She looked at Lelia and said, "What are you talking about, Lelia? Ordinary things! Do you think those are ordinary things, these pictures and the follower vase are not ordinary things. Lelia, all the pictures hanging on th
When Lelia looked at her Grandfather with tearful eyes, James hugged Lelia without a moment's hesitation. "Grandpa, Duke Duke.... " Lelia could not finish her words and started crying. James gently patted her back and said, "Calm down my girl, don't worry. Duke loves you very much. He will never leave you alone. Duke has proven how much he loves you today at the wedding hall. He will come back to you at any cost. So, don't cry. Just wait for him. You should give him an earful for putting himself in danger"James comforted Lelia. After today, James thought that now Lelia would live happily with Duke, but suddenly, when he received the news of Duke's accident, he rushed to the hospital without a moment's delay to support Lelia. "Why does this happen to me, Grandpa? Why do the people I love keep walking away from me? First Grandma, then Mom, Dad, and now Duke? Why is my destiny so cruel? Why do I have to lose my loved ones over and over again? Why can't I find peace? Don't I deserve to b
When Lelia opened her eyes, she found herself standing in the middle of a beautiful garden. Lelia looked around the garden in surprise. She did not understand what she was doing here and how she got here. Wasn't I at the hospital? Yeah, I was at the hospital? Then what am I doing there? Duke! Where is Duke?" Lelia wonder She started looking around for her husband. Suddenly, she heard someone's footsteps behind her. Lelia quickly looked back and saw Duke slowly walking towards her. A soft smile was playing on his lips. Seeing her man all fit and fine Lelia's worries disappeared in an instant and she ran and towards Duke and hugged him tightly. Duke smiled softly and said, "What's wrong, love? Why does your face look so pale? Did anything happen? Are you okay?" Lelia hugged Duke tightly and said, "Where have you been? I was so scared when I couldn't see you. Where did you go, leaving me alone? Why did you leave me alone? Didn't I tell you never leave me alone? Then why did you do that
Hearing her words, Xavier looked at Stanley, not able to believe her words. Stanley took a deep breath and spoke up"He had an accident. The operation was successful but he is still in danger. He needs to be kept under observation for twenty-four hours. This twenty-four hour is very critical. I can not say anything about it, sorry. I have done my part, and the rest is in the almighty's hand," Stanley explained, and Lelia's expression turned pale as if all colours drained out of her face. She started trembling in fear of losing him. The thought of living without him in this cruel world made her heart break into a million pieces. "Ac...accident! He had an acci... accident!?" Lelia whispered as she felt intense pain in her heart. Her eyes become teary. With teary eyes she looked at Stanley and uttered hopefully, "He will be okay, right? Nothing will happen to him, right?" Stanley looked away, not having enough courage to meet her hopeful eyes. When Stanley looked away without answerin
Xavier and Stanley received this bad news before they could reach their office. When they got the news, they turned the car immediately, breaking all the traffic signals, and drove at maximum speed to reach the construction site. When they reached the construction site, they saw that rescue workers had already started working there. Stanley and Xavier broke through the police barricade and ran inside. They entered and gasped as they saw that the building had completely collapsed. They heard Mark screaming Duke's name like a crazy person and working with the rescue workers. Xavier and Stanley did not hesitate for a moment and called the army quarters using their secret code and requested for some skilled rescue workers to be sent from there quickly.When Mark saw Stanley and Xavier both had reached, he ran to them and pleaded in a humble voice, "I beg please save my boss. Five people, including my boss, are trapped under the building. Please save him" "Nothing will happen to him," St
I have begun to take revenge, Mom. I will take revenge for every injustice done to you. Very soon they will suffer the consequences of their injustice," Duke said, looking at the grave. Henry patted Duke's back. "There is no need to be ashamed in front of Kathleen, Duke. I am sure Kathleen is proud of you now. You have not broken down even after enduring so much torture. Kathleen must have prayed in her last moments that you would not give up.You have fulfilled your Mother's hopes. If anyone here should be ashamed, it is me. I have failed to save my daughter. I am very sorry. I have no right to apologize to you, but I still want to apologize to you. Forgive your Father, Kathleen, and now rest assured, Duke will never be in danger again. Your beloved son, Duke, has found a caring and loving wife just like you.Your son married the girl you thought he would marry. Your son has fulfilled your dream, now you can sleep in peace. It is time for those who hurt you to suffer. I promise you
When John threatened to divorce Stella, Stella looked away from him and looked at Lilly. Suddenly, all her anger went to Lilly. She felt that if she had not given birth to Lilly, all this would not have happened today. Suddenly, she felt that all this was happening because of Lilly. Her long-planned plans had failed only because of Lilly. As soon as this thought entered her mind, Stella roared like a wounded lion and ran towards Lilly and grabbed her by the throat. "Die. Everything is your fault. Everything is happening because of you. So, you need to die. You must die so I can live peacefully. I will kill you. If you had not been born, I would not have lost everything." Stella tried to strangle Lilly just then, the police arrived there. The police ran towards them and stopped Stella. But Stella tried to go near Lilly to kill her even after seeing the police. When two lady constables tried to handcuff Stella, Stella did an unbelieving act. He snatched a lady constable's gun and aime
John was shocked to hear Duke's words. He felt like his 27-year marriage was a game of lies. There was nothing in it but pure lies. His 27-years marriage life collapsed like a house of cards in an instant. John lost everything in an instant and became destitute. He looked at Stella and asked, "Why?"Stella immediately started to protest and lie blatantly, "John, why do you even believe that man Duke? Duke is obviously lying to separate you and me. How can you think that Lilly is not your daughter. Lilly is your daughter, your blood. She is our daughter. How can you deny it? Has your mentality sunk so low that you believe Duke's lies? Don't you try to understand why Duke is lying all the time. Duke is making everything up to create trouble between you and me so he could separate us from each other. I beg you do not fall for his lies. How can you trust a stranger over your wife, John? Have you really lost your mind? Don't you really trust your wife? The Mother of your only child?You mu
