At William Mansion
Every member of William's family was gathered in the hall. David was standing in front of his father with his daughter. "Dad, what are you saying? It is impossible" David was shocked to hear his father. "I have decided Leila will marry him in Lilly's place" James spoke up "How could you say that Dad? How could you want to marry my daughter to that illegitimate son? Also, isn't he in behind the bar? Did you forget he murdered his mother, setting fire to the house, which burnt his face also?" David was shaking and anxious. He knew he and his family meant nothing to his father but it was too much. "Yes, he was. But he was released from prison a few years back. It is good for your daughter. She can pretend her husband is trying to kill her, and then she can get a divorce. She will be free from the marriage after two or three months. Then she can marry whomever she wants" James said looking at his son without any emotion. David looked at Leila and then spoke up, "Sorry, Dad, I will not allow it. We were living in shadow because you wanted. We did everything you ordered but not this. I will never ruin Lelia's life. Let's go dear" "Then I suggest you prepare your bedroom because your wife will soon kicked out of the hospital. You should prepare for her funeral because your wife will die without treatment" John David older brother said blocking their way "Uncle, how could you say this?" Leila shouted at him. "Lower your tone you lowly thing. Whatever he said it was right. If you marry him, your mother will keep getting treatment, and we will do her operation. If you deny, you know very well what we are capable of," Stella John's wife said. "Leila, let's go." David held her hand and then left from there... "Don't worry dear. We will find a way to save your mother. I will never let them ruin your life" David cupped Leila's face and kissed her forehead. "Dad, I need to do something. I will be back soon" Lelia left from there quickly. "I am sure, Liam will find out a way. I have to meet him now," Lelia muttered to herself, then started the car. Opening the door Lelia entered the house in hurry so she failed to notice the familiar high heels beside the shoes of Liam. When she reached the living room, the color of her face drowned when she heard the noise. Her body started trembling. "It is not true." Taking trembling steps, she peeked into the bedroom, and at that moment, her whole world changed. The land under her feet started going away. Lelia could not believe that her boyfriend Liam was with her cousin's sister Lilly. They were making out. Liam's back was facing her but Lilly spotted Lelia and smirked at her. “We love each other. Why don’t you break up with bitch? Don't tell me you are going marry her because of the stupid enegament” Lilly asked in a seductive voice. She was taking deep breaths. “Don’t mention her name when we are making love. And I would rather stay single than marry that fool.” Liam was so annoyed hearing her name that he bit her neck, and she moaned in pleasure. Lilly was very happy as she got the answer she wanted. “You are right. She is the daughter of a maid. She and her family are ashamed of our family. Grandpa abandoned them long ago. But they keep living here like street dogs. No way, even our dog holds a more important position in our family than her family does. There is nothing good in her?” "Right," Liam held her waist and thrust harder, which made her scream and moan his name while smiling at Lelia. Lelia stood in front of the door, listening to everything in the room. Her tired eyes turned cold as she understood what was going on. She had come here for help. But everything turned upside down. Angelia, her mother, suddenly fainted. When the doctor checked her, they found out she was diagnosed with brain cancer five months ago. She needed an operation within a week right away. They were working hard for the medical bills but the operation cost was beyond their capacity. As they had to gather the money to pay for the operation, they went to James, but he demanded Lelia's life in exchange. Lelia rushed to her boyfriend as he was her last hope, but to make her situation worse, her cousin's sister hooked up with her boyfriend. Lelia felt her life was falling apart. She felt she had been living in the last two years. The purse falls on the floor, making a noise. Liam turned back and became shocked. He put on his pants and got out of bed. "Oh, no. Lelia. It is not what you are thinking. We love each other. Liam did not want to cheat on you. Please do not get mad at him" Lilly pleaded with fake tears. "Honey, don't cry. Let me handle it." Liam wiped her tears. "You don't need to shed crocodile tears. You have this low-class man all yourself. I don't like tainted things. Even food is delicious. I will not eat dog leftovers," Lelia spoke up in a cold voice. Lilly was so furious. He fisted her hand. Her nails sank into her flesh. She wanted to see Lelia crying, begging for Liam's love. But Lelia threw Liam to her like he was a piece of dirt. "What the hell you are saying? Watch your tongue. Don't try to act proud. It was Liam who dumped you. You meant nothing to him" Lilly pulled the quilt to cover her body. "Listen, I didn't want you to find out like this, but... let's break up," Lelia cut him off and took off the ring and threw it near her feet. "Pick it up. Oh, sorry, I have forgotten you had the habit of picking up other things. You two are a perfect match," Lelia said and left from there. Lilly was trembling in anger. "Did you see the bitch's attitude" Lilly tried to hold Liam's hand but he pushed her away and entered into the washroom. Coming out of the building Lelia called her father, "Dad, I am ready to marry him"Author's POV "Father, what should we do now? David will never agree? I can not let my daughter marry that mududer" John asked James. "They are so shameless. How could they deny Father on face. He feed them, paid the school fees, paid the medicine bills and yet them denied when it was time for them to repay our kindness, Dad" Stella said in a low voice, her eyes fuming in anger.. She wanted revenge. She smirked and her eyes twinkling with cunningness thinking that illegitimate son and Lelia together. That bastard will kill you like he killed his mother. Just wait. You will die in his hand for sure. "Dad, I want to kick out that maid from hospital then David will come to his sense" John said to his father but he did not reply. James was quiet all the the time when a maid informed Lelia came and she wanted to meet them. "What do you want to talk about? I have already told you my decision" James was annoyed seeing Lelia here again. "I want to ask a question. Why do you want me
Author's POV Two days later "When have arrived dear" David helped Lelia to get down from the car. Lelia looked at a small church far away from the city, wearing her mother's wedding dress. It was her grandma wedding dress, she gave it to her mother when they got married. It was her grandma's whish to see her wearing the dress on her wedding day. In the family her family her grandma was the only person who used to treat them like family. When her grandma was alive everything was okay but when she passed away everything changed.

Author's POV Duke, dressed in an expensive black custom-made suit, was lounging in the main seat of the semicircle leather sofa while drumming his fingers on the armrest when his phone started ringing. Duke picked up the call. It was Mark. “I understand. I’ll be there soon!”After ending the call, Duke’s entire demeanor gave off a cold vibe, causing the temperature in the room to drop abruptly.He put on the mask. Taking the walking stick he came out of the room. He looked at Lelia's room and saw the door was open. He looked entered the room but she wasn't there. "Where is she? Did she run away?" Duke took out his phone when he heard Lelia's voice from back. "What are doing in my room? Do you need something?" Duke put the phone into his pocket and turned around slowly. Lelia looked at him. On his face was a black masquerade mask, covering most of his face.The mask exposed his thin lips. "Where were you?" Duke asked her. His tone was cold and masculine. "There was no food i
Author's POVDuke looked at the pile of documents and sighed. Picking up a file he started working on it when someone knocked on the door. "Come in" Mark entered the cabin. "What is it?" Duke asked looking at the document. "Boss, Ma'am has asked for something. But the thing is, it is against our rules" Mark was nervous to hear Lelia's demand. "What did she want?" Duke put down the pen and looked at him."Ma'am has requested for advanced payment. She wanted 1,00,000 dollars. But according to our rules, we don't give loans or advance payments for the first 3 months. The interview board had already denied but Ma'am requested to talk to you in person. What should I tell her?" Mark thought Lelia was an innocent girl, but why did she ask for advance payment on the first day? "Where is she?" Duke asked him"Boss, she is waiting in the lobby. Do you want me to send her here?" "Yes, send her here?" "As you command, Boss" Mark left the room. After some time, someone knocked on the door
When Lelia came out of the company she stopped by the store to buy some fruits for her Mother. The store was beside the company. After she brought some fruits she came out and started looking for a cab when she felt someone tug her dress. Lelia was starlted. She looked down and saw a little boy was holding her dress. He looked around five or six years old. His clothes were poor and looked pale. Lelia got on her knees. "What happened baby? Are you lost?" Lelia asked him softly. The boy shook his head in answer. Lelia cupped his face and smiled."Don't be afraid. I will take you to your parents. Tell me where are they?" Lelia asked in baby voice so the boy could feel comfortable. The boy pointed at a lady who was holding a box collecting money. "Is she your Mother?" Lelia asked him The boy nodded and started pulling her. Lelia stood up and followed the boy. When the reached the spot the lady explained everything. Her husband had an accident and need an urgent operation. But th
Author's POV Coming out of the hospital, Lelia stood near the road to hire a cab when she realized she had no money. "Hope someone helps them." Taking a deep breath, Lelia starts walking when her phone starts ringing. Lelia took out her phone. It was an unknown number. Lelia picked up the call. "Hello, who is it?" Lelia asked"It's me" Came a deep voice over the phone."Duke" Lelia was confused. Where did he get her number? "She didn't remember giving him her number" "Yeah, it's me" Duke answered calmly"Where did you get my number?" Lelia asked her"Is it important now? I am your husband? Is it not normal that your husband has your phone number?" Duke asked in his deep voice "It didn't mean anything like that. Do you have anything to say?" Lelia asked him"Where are you now?" Duke asked her even though he was aware of her location. "I am outside of the hospital" "Then, buy some groceries. I will come home for lunch" Duke said. "Buy groceries!" Lelia looked at her empty purse
Author's POV "How is the Food? Does it suit your taste?" Lelia asked Duke. "It is good," Duke said. Lelia smiled. "I have a good news to share" Lelia spoke up. "Sure. What is it?" Duke put down the spoon and then looked at her. "I got a job at Winters Group. I will join from tomorrow" Lelia spoke up excitedly. "Congratulations. I have something to say as well but it is not a good news" Duke said. "What happened?" Lelia asked. "My Father invited us for dinner. Tomorrow we have to go there. They don't like me. They will use every mean word to hurt and embarrass you if they get the chance. If you don't want to go with me then I will not force you" Duke said to her"I will go with you," Lelia said. "Okay, then, be ready at 7," Duke said and stood up, holding his stick. "Where are you going?" Lelia asked him. "I have some work to do," Duke said and left from there. Sullivan MansionJackson and Nancy, his wife, were seated and drinking tea in the living room when Hunter came the
Lelia woke up when the alarm started raining. She stopped the clock and looked at her messy bed. She was working on the new idea last night. She didn't know when she fell asleep. Lelia got down and entered the washroom. Standing under the shower she twisted the tap. When the water fell on her body, she immediately felt relaxed. After taking a long shower, she came out and put on her dress, then came out. She looked inside Duke's room and found it empty. "Where did he go at this time?" Lelia looked at the wall clock. It was 6. 15 in the morning. Lelia sat on the sofa. She felt tired just then, her stomach rumbled. Lelia went to the kitchen and made some quick sandwiches. She came out and put the plate on the table then picked up a sandwich. Picking up her laptop she started working again while munching on the sandwich. Just then, she heard the clinking of keys, and the door opened. Lelia looked up. Duke walked in, wearing an exercising outfit, a white t-shirt, and black tr
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
After the fourth slap, Stella could no longer maintain her balance and fell to the floor. Even after she fell to the floor, John did not stop. He grabbed Stella's hair and forced her to stand up and held her against the wall by the throat. He asked in a terrible voice, "I am asking you for the last time, were you behind my Mother's death? If you still don't tell the truth, I will kill you for sure?"Seeing her Father's angry appearance, Lilly started trembling in fear as usual. She did not dare to come forward to help her Mother. Two of Stella's teeth were loose due to the slap. Her front teeth rubbed against her lips and blood was coming out. Stella did not get a chance to scream in pain because, by then, John had grabbed her throat. Stella tried with all her strength to free herself but she could not move John even a single inch. The more she tried to move John, the harder John squeezed her throat. Stella felt like her collarbone would break if he pressed a little bit. She couldn't
Hearing Duke's words John looked at him suspiciously. When Stella saw her husband's expression her face turned pale. "You don't need to give us any gifts. We don't need any gifts. We want to leave here as soon as possible. After being so humiliated, we do not want to stay here for a moment longer. Please let us go from here. We do not want to stay here anymore. We didn't know anything about what happened to your Mothe and we are not responsible for this. So don't get us into unnecessary trouble, let us show it from here. We have honor. We don't want to fall into any unnecessary trouble," Stella somehow spoke up with great difficulty. She uttered those words in a strong voice so that it wouldn't seem like she was afraid. She didn't want to give any chance to Duke to understand that she was sacred. Hearing Stella's words, Duke laughed. He glanced at her sharply and uttered, "If you haven't done anything wrong, then why are you so nervous? Why are you getting so hyper? I haven't even
"They are pure evils. Burn them to death like they did to that innocent girl” "Shame on them. How could they do such a thing?" “They should not be hanged. It will be so easy death for them. We should tie up them, then pour petrol on their bodies and set them on fire. Seeing their fate, the heart of every sinner needs to tremble. Then no one in the future will be able to do such a thing, let alone think of doing such a thing. They should be tortured so cruelly that their horrible fate is written in the pages of history. "You are right. We should not let them go like this. We should be tied up them. Then we have to throw stones on their bodies until their bodies turned badly wounded. Then they should be thrown in front of hungry animals so that those animals can tear their bodies apart and eat them up. Why are we sitting here instead of taking action?” “ Call the police. Heinous sinners like them should not be under the open sky for even a second" The guests present in the wedd
When Lilly entered the wedding hall holding her Father's hand, all the guests were surprised. Her diamond and gold designed gown was eye-catching. They started gossiping about her gown and jewellery. Lilly was so happy to see their reaction. She started walking towards the altar with her Father with a proud smile on her face. Duke felt disgusted looking at her. He took out his phone and texted Lelia, "No need to cook tonight. I will take you out for dinner and I have something to say to you. It is very important. Please be ready by seven. I will finish the work as soon as possible and come to get you" Duke sent the message and put the phone in his pocket. After a while, the wedding was completed, and some pictures of Jonathan and Lilly started playing on the big screen. All the guests clapped their hands seeing their deep chemistry. Lilly smiled shyly and held Jonathan's hand. Jonathan was already deeply annoyed, and when she held his hand, Jonathan felt his blood start boiling in h
