Duke was sitting in his car reading business news on the way to the office. He was intently reading the stock market news when his phone rang. Duke folded the newspaper and placed it on the side seat, then took the phone out of his pocket. He saw that it was his secretary Mark's call. As Duke answered the call, Mark respectfully said from the other end of the phone, "Sir, you have to attend an urgent meeting right now. The client is waiting for you at Lavana Restaurant." "What meeting are you talking about? I didn't have a meeting on my schedule this morning?" Duke asked him. "Sir the meeting was supposed to be in the afternoon. But our client says that due to a problem with his company, he has to fly back to Switzerland this afternoon. He is repeatedly requesting to hold the meeting now. Your presence at the meeting is very important. I cannot handle this meeting without you. So, please attend the meeting." Mark requested him. "Alright. I am heading to Lavana Restaurant to att
When the car stopped in front of Knight Corporation, Duke got out of the car and went straight to Xavier's office. Xavier was working on a weapon design when someone barged into his cabin. He looked up immediately in anger as he had forbidden everyone to enter his cabin because he was working on something important. Xavier was ready to fire whatever the person was. But when he looked up he saw Duke was standing at the door. Duke came in and sat on a sofa. When Xavier saw his friend sitting on a sofa, he revealed a wide smile and asked playfully, “Has the sun risen from the wrong side today? Mr. Winters is here instead of working in his office. Oh my, what brings you here today, Mr. Winters? Are you here to see me, my friend?” Xavier knows that his friend is not the kind of person who would skip work and meet him. Work is most important to Duke. He works on holidays or even when he is sick. Everyone calls him a workaholic for this. And that man came to his office after skipping
"Lilly, please calm down, my dear. Please Listen to me." Stella tried to calm her daughter, who was acting like a mad person. Lilly was smashing everything in her room like a madwoman. Her hair was a mess. Lilly was tearing her own hair in anger."Calm down! How can I calm down? Don't you see what Lelia did to me? She took Liam away from me. Liam left me for that bitch. And you are here telling me to come down." Lilly shouted in anger. Stella was shocked to hear this. She had no idea what Lilly was saying. When she came home from shopping, a maid informed her that Liam had come to visit Lilly a little ago. And after a, while Liam stormed off in, anger and sinc,e then Lilly has been screaming and breaking things in her room.The servant also told her that she had tried to stop Lilly but Lilly tried to throw things at her. So she was forced to come out of Lilly's room.Stella was scared to hear this. Fear began to build in her mind that Liam knew everything. But how will he know that I
As soon as Stella left the room, Lilly came out of the washroom after changing her dress. She came out of the washroom and walked quickly towards the locker. She took out a box from the locker. "Why are you taking out the box? What is in this box?" Bella asked her suspiciously. "It has something to teach Lelia a lesson. Today is a day she will never forget. I will make today a curse for her. Today is the day she will shudder for the rest of her life," Lilly said with a monstrous grin. "What does this mean? What do you want to do? What is in this box, Lilly? " Bella asked again suspiciously. She didn't know why but Lilly was making her feel so uncomfortable behaving like that. Lilly smiled devilishly and took a bottle out of the box. Bella was shocked to see the bottle She looked at Lilly with surprised eyes. It was a bottle of acid. A dangerous acid indeed. "Lilly what are you going to..." Bella couldn't finish her words and gasped in fear. "Yes. Today I will make Lelia as
"Who said there is no one besides Lelia? Who put this wrong idea in your stupid head that no one will stand with Lelia? What do you think? You will do whatever you want with my wife? And no one will stand by her side? You are wrong. And Lelia is right. She is not alone now. I am with her. In fact, I am not standing beside her. I am standing in front of her,” Duke said sternly and stood beside Lelia. Hearing Duke's harsh voice, everyone trembled a little. "Isn't he just a poor cripple? Then why does his voice sound so terrified?" Stella thought to herself. The blood rose to Duke's head when he saw the finger mark on Lelia's cheek. He stroked Lelia's cheek gently then looked at them and asked in a murderous voice, "Who laid hands on my wife? Who was the person" Hearing his voice, Stella trembled with fear. She didn't want to involve Duke in the mess. Although he is disabled, he still has Sullivan's blood in his veins. It won't be wise to mess with Sullivan's family. "Duke, none of
Hearing the name of Markus in Duke's mouth, Stella was startled as if she had seen a terrible ghost. She couldn't in her wildest dreams imagine that the Duke would find out about Markus. Stella looked at her daughter and saw that her daughter's face was white with fear, and she was shaking. "Who is Markus? Why is Duke bringing up Markus' name? What is Lilly's relationship with him?" Bella asked curiously. She knew nothing about Markus as Lilly didn't tell her anything about it. In order not to let this matter go outside the family, Stella immediately looked at Bella and said, "Markus is nobody. And you can leave now. This is a family discussion. You shouldn't be here." Stella was afraid that Bella would find out about this. And she might tell someone outside about it. If Bella did this, Lilly would lose her honor, and the William family would be in disrepute. If this happens, James and Jackson will find out, and if they find out, they will never forgive Lilly. Stella didn't wan
"Why are you still quiet? Do you still think they are the same person? Bella this joke of yours is going to be in the Guinness Book of Records. It is going to be the best joke of the year. And haven't you seen the face of your boss, Duke Winters, owner of the Winders Group?" Lilly asked her. She was annoyed by the fact that Bella thought they were the same person. If they were the same, would I let the bitch marry him? Never. Not even in my nightmares" Lilly thought "Yes, I did. He is a very handsome man. He is as good-looking as any Hollywood hero," Bella said, remembering Duke's face. Lilly was very happy to hear this. A greed accumulated in her mind. "Does Duke Winters have a girlfriend? Is he dating someone?" Lilly asked her excitedly. Bella was surprised to hear this. She did not understand why Lilly was asking her about Duke Winters. "Nobody knows anything about Duke Winters's personal life. Nobody knows if he is single or married or if he is dating anyone. Duke Winders s
"Make their faces look like they are terrified of looking at themselves in the mirror. I want fingerprints full of their cheeks. Make sure I get this good news before I wake up tomorrow morning. If I don't get this good news, you will be hearing bad news all day. And of that, I will make sure, Mark," Duke said to him sternly. Mark panics when he hears his Boss's bone-chilling threat. He gulped in fear. Mark was shocked when Duke asked him to punish the two girls. Duke had never allowed him to take any action on girls before. Even if they committed a crime, He forgave them. "What happened that boss is breaking his own rules this time? Lilly and Bella must have done something bad to Mrs. Lelia. That is why the boss gets so angry," Mark thought to himself. "Don't worry boss. It will do the work exactly as you wish. You will have the good news before you wake up tomorrow morning" Mark reassured his boss. "You better be," Duke said and disconnected the call. Duke was standing in fron
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,
