"Lelia, I don't think it would be right for us to poke our noses into this matter. It is clear to everyone that Auntie doesn't want to talk about this. I also saw the pain on Auntie's face. If we dig into the matter that still hurts her after all these years, she will suffer even more.We should stay away from this matter. You yourself say that there is good in forgetting the painful moments of the past. So why should we bring the matter that Auntie wants to hide from everyone to everyone? Some secrets are better to keep hidden. Not all secrets need to be revealed.It is better to keep the matters away from everyone that will hurt others. We should be happy that Auntie has accepted us. If Auntie ever wants to share this matter with you on her own, then you can know about it. Don't try to find out about this matter on your own," Duke told her."Duke I don't want to know about this matter to hurt my Mom. I can't not even think about hurting her. All I want is to ease my Mom's pain. I wa
Lelia entered the room and was getting ready to go to sleep when Duke knocked on her door."Are you awake? I have something important to talk to you about. Can I come in?" Lelia heard Duke's voice.Lelia got off the bed, took a sheet, and wrapped it around her body as she didn't want Duke see her in short night dress. It will be embarrassing for her."Yes, I am awake. Come in," Lelia said, and Duke entered her room.Lelia saw a file in Duke's hand. Looking at Duke, she realized that Duke wanted to tell her something but he was hesitant to say it."What is wrong, Duke? What is that file in your hand?" Lelia asked him.Duke handed the file to Lelia without saying anything. Lelia took the file from Duke's hand and started reading it. When she finished reading the file, she frowned at Duke."This is a document. Your family wants to transfer 15 percent of the Sullivan Company to your name. Why are you showing me this document?" Lelia asked him in surprise."I want these shares to be transf
"What did you say, Dad? That bastard Duke transferred his shares to his wife's name? Why did the bastard do this?" When Jackson mentioned the share issue at the dinner table, Jonathan and Nancy fell from the sky."Yes. Dad had arranged everything to transfer the shares to Duke's name as he had said, but then he came and said he wanted the shares to be transferred to his wife's name, not his. Dad and I tried to convince the idiot a lot, but the idiot insisted that he wanted the shares in his wife's name.I used to think even a madman would understand his own good, but this idiot is deliberately bringing harm upon himself. I am sure his wife will leave him after getting the shares in her name," Jackson said. "I don't understand why you both agreed to his condition. He said this bullshit and you both accept it? I think Father will accept it even if he wants the entire company in his name in the future. That bastard insisted unnecessarily and you both accepted it without saying anything?
"I have something very important to say. And you have to obey me," Stanley's Father said at the dining table."I agree to anything you say, except marriage, Father," Stanley replied effortlessly, wiping his face with a handkerchief.Hearing this, Stanley's Father frowned at his son. He couldn't understand why his son, whenever he heard the word marriage, acted as if marriage was a frivolous affair.Stanley was not a playboy. Although his Father liked the fact at first, but now it made him think. Sometimes he thought his son liked boys. That is why he always stayed away from girls."I am not talking about your marriage. I know you won't agree even if I ask you to get married," Stanley's Father said in an annoyed voice."Then you can make any request to me. I will accept it," Stanley said and took a sip of his teacup."My friend's daughter's name is Diana. I want you to keep Diana as your assistant," Stanley's Father said and Stanley looked at his Father in surprise."Dad, I already hav
At Night Club "Do you think it is over? Do you really think that you can leave me like this? No, never. I will never let you leave me like this." Liam was talking to himself, heavily intoxicated. He was sitting in a private room of a nightclub. Usually, people came to nightclubs at night, but now Liam's visits were constant. Ever since seeing the love bite Duke gave Lelia on her neck, Liam seemed to have lost his mental balance. He had gone crazy with the desire for revenge. He was desperately looking for a way to get Duke out of Lelia's life. He was trying to find a way that even if he killed Duke using the way, Lelia would not suspect anything. She would still think of him as a good person. So he could approach her after a few days. Where does Duke work? Which roads does he go through? Where does he hang out? Liam had put some people behind Duke to see all this, but surprisingly, there was no trace of those people he put behind Duke. But the people had disappeared somewhere.
"Mr. Waiters, since we have had three meetings on this deal. I know you are fully aware of all the information. Even so, if you want to discuss anything, I am willing to discuss it with you as much as I know about it from my husband" Lelia said to him."There is no need. I already know everything about this matter," Duke said, just then a waiter brought the food. Duke noticed that the waiter was looking at Lelia repeatedly with lustful eyes. Seeing this, Duke's face became hideous with anger. But he did not want to do anything in front of Lelia that would make Lelia suspicious. Here, he was Lelia's boss, not her husband. So he had to take every step thoughtfully.After putting down the food on the table, the waiter looked at Lelia with lustful eyes and spoke in a cheap voice, "Ma'am, do you need anything else? We have a special drink here. Would you like to drink it?"Seeing the waiter looking at her lustfully, Lelia felt very uncomfortable. She was about to refuse the waiter's reque
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,
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
"Take your position", Lelia said, and Henry and James nodded. "Are you two ready? " Lelia asked looking at James and Henry. "We are ready," James and Henry said. Lelia smiled and blew the whistle. As soon as she blew the whistle, James and Henry started running. "Grandpa faster, I want to win" Duke and Lelia's four-year-old twins, Ethan and Evan, were sitting on Henry and James' shoulders and were shouting with joy. Lelia looked at her family from a distance and smiled. Four years have passed but Lelia still feels like Duke proposed to her yesterday. These four years have passed in the blink of an eye. Three years ago, Stella committed suicide in an insane asylum because she could not bear the remorse of killing her daughter. And Jonathan tried to escape from the army cantonment because he could not bear the torture and was shot dead. Hunter is still in an insane asylum. He is completely crazy now and does not recognize anyone. Sometimes, he just screamed crazily that Duke dest
When Xavier regained consciousness, he found himself tied to a chair in an abandoned room. Xavier realized that if he moved his hand slightly, he could easily untie the ropes around his wrists. Realizing this, Xavier was very upset, "Before kidnapping someone, you should at least know about them well. In what sense did they tie me up like this? They are disrespecting me by tying me up like this. They should have tied me up with chains instead of ropes." Xavier muttered, and when he thought about using the smartwatch that he had on his waist to contact his bodyguards, he felt that he did not have a watch in his hand and his phone in his pocket.Xavier was a little nervous now. It is okay that the kidnapper took his phone but he was not supposed to take away his watch because no one would know that it was a smartwatch by looking at this watch. Everyone would think that it was a very simple watch. This means that the person who kidnapped him knows about this watch, which means that he is
"Not bad Mr. Winters, you are recovering so well. At this rate you will be released from hospital in two weeks," Stanley said after checking Duke's condition."I want to get out of here as soon as possible, man. I don't like being in the hospital at all. I am suffocating here" Duke said. "But I don't think so. Looking at you, I think you love being in the hospital so much that you stay in the hospital for half of the year. If you want, you can rent a room in the hospital permanently. Who knows when you will get injured doing risky work again?" Stanley said after hearing Duke's words. Duke smiled at him and was about to say something, but before he could, Diana spoke up, "Can any patient rent a room permanently? I see the situation in the hospital has become like a hotel where anyone can rent a room for stay."Duke and Lelia tried to control their laughter after hearing Diana's words and Stanley looked at her with fiery eyes. Stanley has tried many ways to get fired from her job but
Henry was sitting in the garden, drinking tea, and Lelia was sitting next to him. Lelia was looking ahead and smiling softly because Duke Stanley and Xavier were kneeling in front of Henry. Henry was looking at them and drinking tea in a relaxed mood. "Grandpa, my leg hurts, should I stand?" Xavier asked, looking at Henry. When Henry looked at him with fiery eyes upon hearing Xavier's words, Xavier immediately lowered his head, "If you don't want to stand on one leg, then sit quietly like that. And if you want to stand on one leg, then get up and stand." Hearing Henry's words, Xavier didn't say anything else. "Who will explain?" Henry asked, placing the teacup on the table and looking at them. "Grandpa, it is not my fault. It is all Duke's fault. I didn't know he had regained consciousness. I didn't do anything. Looking at my innocent face, do you think I can do something like this?" Xavier said, putting all the blame on Duke. Henry looked at him, smiled, and said, "Looking at
Hearing Nancy's words, Duke laughed and said, "The accused registered in the government register has fled. The police are searching for them, and after a while,, they will find the bodies of the two accused who were burnt to death in the accident." Hearing Duke's words, the ground under Nancy's feet seemed to move. "What nonsense you are talking about? What you are saying is never possible. So don't tell bullshit," Nancy shouted angrily."You will understand after a while and see in your own eyes if it is possible or not," Duke said. Hearing Duke's words, Nancy pointed the gun in her hand at Duke and said, "You can survive the accident but if I shoot you, you will not be able to survive. Let us go from here immediately or I will shoot you." Duke started laughing at Nancy's words. "You can try. You can try as long as you want," Duke said, ignoring Nancy's words. Jackson and Nancy were both shocked by Duke's words."Do you want me to teach you how to shoot? I am an expert in this fiel
When Duke looked at Stanley with a satisfied smile and winked at him, Stanley became even angrier. "Don’t make me punch at your face, Duke Winters. How dare you keep your eyes closed after regaining consciousness? Was there a movie playing that you were enjoying with your eyes closed? You are damm lucky that Xavier is not here. Even if I controlled my anger, Xavier never controlled his. He would have punched you in the face a few times by now. I can't believe you are pretending," Stanley uttered angrily. "Come on man. Don’t act like this. I am up, and that is the biggest thing, isn't it? When I regained consciousness, you and Lelia were talking about the divorce papers. I didn’t feel like opening my eyes when I heard about divorce. By the way, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, Lelia would have misunderstood me and left me by now," Duke said, smiling at Stanley. Stanley took a deep breath to control his anger and handed the divorce papers to Duke, "This is yours. Do whatever
"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
