When Jonathan came out of the house he was seething with anger to the point that he almost exploded. "Wasn't that bastard used to be a punching bag? When did he change so much? Where did he get that attitude? You have made a grave mistake Duke. I know you have been mean to me to show your wife. I am going to make you cry like before" Jonathan cursed Duke. He was so angry that his teeth were chattering. He got into his car and was about to start driving when his phone rang. Jonathan cursed the caller under his breath for calling him at such a bad time. But his face turned pale when he looked at the caller ID. It was Hunter. His grandfather "Can't this old hag stop calling me? Do me a favor and die already. You have lived enough years" Jonathan cursed Hunter and picked up the phone. "Yes, Grandpa" Jonathan's tone was sweet. "Have you seen the Duke? Your father told me you went to see the Duke. Has he agreed to come?" Hunter asked him "Yes grandpa. He will be there tonight" said
Everyone stood in front of the door."What's going on?" Lelia shouted. She could not understand why everyone was doing this to her.Rose opened Lelia's computer and showed her the picture. After that she told everything to Lelia. Lelia was roaring in anger after hearing everything."Bella, that bitch" She cursed Bella and wanted to get out but Rose stopped her."No. Everyone is angry right now. They might get angry and do something bad to you. Don't go out," Rose told her. Lelia knew she was right as she watched as everyone already fell into Bella's trap and turned against her. Everyone was upset and angry with her. They were standing in front of her cabin and cursing her badly. They call her a bitch. And she is a dirty girl who sold her body for this job. They called her a slut. The man she slapped spits on her office door in anger. He was trying to break down the door. They all seemed to have gone mad.They shouted at Lelia to submit her resignation letter to them. They swore to t
When Lelia entered her cabin she found a bouquet of flowers on her desk. She looked at the flowers in confusion. "Who sent it here?" Lelia walked over to her desk thoughtfully. She picked up the bouquet but found no cards attached to it. Lelia placed the bouquet on her table when someone knocked on the door."Come in" Lelia said and her colleagues entered. They were still shyly avoiding her eyes."Did you send me flowers?" Lelia asked looking at them.They nodded still looking down. "We are sorry for our behavior. We don't know what happened to us then. We didn't know she was lying to us. Please forgive us. We insulted you. We are ashamed of our actions." The male employee that Lelia had slapped spoke up.Lelia looked at their pitiful faces and decided to forgive them."Honestly, I was really sad when you all believed Bella and started judging me without listening to me. We can not judge a person based on one word because everyone has their own story to tell. I wouldn't have forgiv
After sending Bella home, Lilly starts getting ready to go shopping.She wears a revealing dress. She puts a heavy make up on her face. Looking at her reflection in the mirror she smiles and picks up her purse.After that, she came downstairs.Sitting on a couch, she started waiting for Liam while scrolling through her phone."Are you going anywhere, honey?" Stella asked her daughter."Oh, Mom. I am going on shopping with Liam. He is coming to pick me up" Lilly told her."Honey, why did you hide from me that you had to get an abortion?" Stella whispered sitting next to Lilly. While the maids were taking out the trash from Lilly's room, she found some hospital letters. From there he came to know that his daughter had been aborted her baby.Lilly froze. She looked at her Mother in shock. "How did Mom know that? I made sure no one noticed so how did she know?""Mom, how did you know?" Lilly asked in surprise."I saw the abortion letter. I got it when the maid was taking out the garbage
Hearing this, Lilly froze. She felt as if lightning struck her head. What is this happening? Is the manager out of his freaking mind? Does he not know who am I?"Are you mad? These low-class people insulted me, and you are the one asking me to get out of here?" Lilly shouted to the Manager."Lilly, for god's sake stop making a scene. I had listened enough." Liam looked at Lilly angrily. He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life. He was regretting in his mind to come here with Lilly. He shouldn't have paid attention to her begging. "Liam, didn't you hear what this Manager told me? Who is he to stop me from coming here?" Lilly screamed looking at Liam. She was angrier when Liam didn't take her side. "Sir, are you with this Ma'am? If you are please pay the bill and get her out of here. She is disturbing the other customers," The manager said, looking at Liam."I also don't want to shop where these low-class people can come," Lilly said, pointing at Lelia and Duke."Who says
Lilly ran after Liam and grabbed his hand as he was about to get into his car."What was that? How could you leave your pregnant girlfriend with her biggest enemy? What if that bitch tried to kill me?" Lilly yelled at Liam but he didn't answer.Liam's reaction made Lilly even more angrier.She raised her voice to Liam, "Liam, don't try to act deaf before me. How come you left me there alone? Do you know how embarrassed I felt when you left me there?"This brought Liam back to his senses and his jaw dropped in shock. He embarrassed her! He! Like seriously!"Me! I embarrassed you! You still have the nerve to say that to my face. You are so shameless Lilly. You embarrassed me in front of everyone. You associated my name with Lelia to insult her. You didn't even care about my reputation. You didn't even think that the person you were using to insult Lelia was your boyfriend. You are so cheap, Lilly. I felt ashamed to call you my girlfriend” Liam yelled and pulled his hand away from Lilly'
It was almost evening when Lelia and Duke returned home from the shopping mall. Duke wanted to buy matching heels and some cosmetics but Lelia stopped Duke. Laying down the shopping bags on the couch, Lelia said to Duke that we should take a shower and get ready or we would be late. Duke looked at Lelia and said, "Okay." You go take a shower and get ready" Lelia nodded and picked up the shopping bags from the sofa and went to her room. Duke entered his room as well and first took off his mask and placed it on the table. Looking at the mask, he said to himself, "How long will he have to hide his face like this from Lelia"? Before the wedding, he only used the mask before meeting someone from the Sullivan family, but after marriage, he had to use it in front of Lelia. He only agreed to marry Lilly because his grandfather, Hunter Sullivan, promised to give him a 5 percent share in the Sullivan Company in exchange for this marriage. Duke only agreed to marry her for that share becau
It was seven o'clock in the evening when the taxi stood in front of the Sullivan Mansion. Duke got out of the taxi, paid the taxi fare then they got inside. As Duke rang the bell, the Butler of the house opened the door for them. But when his eyes fell on Duke's he looked so annoyed. Lelia noticed how the Butler's eyes fell on them as a look of annoyance crossed his face. Lelia was surprised to find that even the servants of this house looked down upon her husband. She got angry seeing this. Although Duke had already told her that no one in the house liked him but Lelia couldn't help but think that he was talking about everyone in the house including the servants. "How dare that servant look down on family members?" Lelia's temper turned hot. As she can't bear her husband's disrespect. "Where is Grandpa?" Duke asked the Butler coldly. "Duke's speech seemed as if he did not mind the servant's behavior or the way of his talking, or that he was used to it?" . "How much suffering
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,
