"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
After putting on expensive clothes and heavy makeup, Lilly stood in front of the mirror. She smiled softly at her reflection. She left the room with her mobile phone and bag. When she entered the living room she saw her Grandfather yelling at her father. She was surprised to see this. She saw her mother standing silently by his father's side. Lilly was about to ask her mother what happened when her Grandfather shouted again, "The contract I fixed yesterday how can it be canceled today? What are you even doing? Can't you even handle a single contract? Do you know how much money we lost because of your stupidity? Our clients who have trusted us for the last 10 years and kept us in partnership today cut ties with us because of your mistake. You disappointed me, John" Hearing James' words, John bowed his head in shame. "How it happened? I want an explanation from you. And I don't know what you will do but I want this deal to be signed. Otherwise, all the managing directors of the c
Two hours later when Lilly and Jonathan finished talking and came out of the private room, Lilly found Luke gone. Bella is sitting at that table now and must be waiting for her. Lilly walked up to Bella and asked "Why are you alone? Where is Luke?" Bella looked at Lilly and said, "Luke had gotten an important call. He left after receiving the call." "He looks like he is out of work. All right. Let's go home now," Lilly said to her. "I can drop you both at your houses if you both want. It would be my pleasure to drop beautiful girls like you" Jonathan said to them with a smile. "No. You don't have to drop us. I have my car with me. We will go together. You don't have to worry," Lilly told him. She didn't want someone to see Jonathan with her for now. After cutting off all ties with Liam, I will bring it up to everyone" Lilly thought. Jonathan smiled and replied, "Okay then. I will see you tomorrow as I promised." "Sure," Lilly said then they left As soon as they were left, J
"Call Bella's house and report her condition. And tell them to come and get their daughter out of here," John said, looking at Butler. "I will call them at once, sir," The Butler said and left. "We shouldn't be talking here. They might wake up. Come out. I have something important to talk to you about," John said, looking at Stella, but Stella refused to leave. So John took Stella's hand and came out of there. Entering their room, John looked at Stella and asked, "Now tell me why you were blaming Lelia. And what revenge are you talking about? Why would Lelia go to get revenge on Lilly? What did Lilly even do to Lelia?" Stella began to tremble after hearing John's words. "Stella, I believe I have asked you something. Answer my question. Don't be silent. This is not the time to be silent. Our daughter is writhing in pain. If you remain silent, I will not be able to find our daughter's culprit and punish them" John said to her. He was confused as to why Stella was refusing to tell
As soon as John left the room, Stella angrily started breaking things in the room. "I know very well that there is nothing you can do about it if left the matter to you. So, I will not make this mistake. I will not leave it to you. I will punish Lelia with my own hands. Lilly might fail to ruin that bitch's face, but I will not fail to do it. You will face my rage, Lelia" Stella went mad with rage. She picked up the phone from the bed and went to the balcony. On other side Duke was working on an important file on his laptop when his phone rang. Duke looked at the phone and saw it was Mark's call. Duke answered the phone, and Mark said from the other end of the phone, "Boss, the work is done. They have been dealt with as you told." Hearing this, a smug smile appeared on Duke's lips. "Good. Pay them and tell them to get out of town for a few days," Duke told him "Okay, boss. I will do as you wish. Boss, I have something important to tell you," Mark said to him. "What is it, M
"I'm sorry Dad, you have to worry about me. Tell Mom not to worry about me," Lelia said to her Father on the phone."Are you okay? Duke said you both went out of town. When will you be back?" David asked Lelia.Hearing that they were out of town, Lelia looked at Duke. Duke gestured for her to say yes."Dad, I am absolutely fine and yes, we are out of town. We will be back soon," Lelia said."Okay, then you guys come back and visit us. Your Mom misses you so much," David said to her. "Of course, Dad, we will come back and visit you," Lelia said, and David hung up the phone.When David hung up the phone Lelia looked at Duke. Duke said, "I told Uncle that we went out of town.""But why? Why did you lie to Dad? You could have told Dad the truth that I was in the hospital?" Lelia asked Duke in surprise."I was afraid that if I told Uncle that you were in the hospital, Uncle might think I was unworthy of you. Because I couldn't protect you when you were in danger. Uncle might think I was r
When the Duke ran into the room, he saw Lelia sitting in a corner of the room with her head in her hands, crying badly."Lelia," Duke called out.Hearing the Duke's voice, Lelia immediately looked up and burst into tears. Lelia stretched out her arms to hug Duke like a child who found her Mom after being lost. Duke immediately went to Lelia and hugged her, "Where have you been? Why did you leave me? I was scared. I was so scared. You are so bad" Lelia asked Duke in a complaining voice."I was talking to the doctor about your health, honey. I didn't go anywhere. Where would I go when my wife is here?" Duke replied and started gently rubbing her back."Duke, he tried to... he tried to touc...," Lelia couldn't finish her sentence and started crying. Duke gently touched Lelia's cheeks and said, "There is no need to say anything. Nothing happened. You are safe now and that is the most important thing to me. Forget everything as a bad dream, Lelia.""Duke, I didn't do anything. You must be
When no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, David looked at Jonathan with annoyance."By any chance did you bring me to the wrong address? I am telling you in advance that if you really brought me to the wrong place, it wouldn't be good for you," David said angrily. He was eager to see his daughter."Why would I bring you to the wrong address? There is no point in bringing you to the wrong address. What will I get by doing this? I brought you to the right address. I think there is no one at home or they are not opening the door on purpose," Jonathan said and kicked the door in annoyance.An old woman came out of the next door after hearing those noises. "Who are you? What do you want?" The old woman asked, walking towards them."We are here to see Duke and his wife. But they are not opening the door. Aren't they are home?" David asked."They are out of town. Lelia told me before they left that it would take a week before they returned. They are newlyweds, so I think
Duke was standing outside the hospital room, talking to the head of security."Sir, this was their premeditated plan. They kidnapped two guests who were coming to our party on the way and entered the party by impersonating them. The ones they kidnapped are still hospitalized. They tortured the old couple. Sir, I didn't know that someone would wear a realistic mask and enter the party like this. Forgive me, it was my fault. I should have been aware of this," The security head said, lowering his head in shame."You are not to blame here. I will bear all the medical expenses of the old couple. Make sure they get the best treatment and also make sure that this news doesn't get out. Tell the old couple that I have punished those kidnappers for kidnapping them. Break the arms and legs of all those who were involved in this with Liam and send them to jail. And make sure they spend their rest lives behind the jail" Duke ordered him. "Sir Liam's four scoundrel friends physically tortured that
"Has Lelia lost her memory? Why is she treating Duke like this? She is treating Duke like it is not Duke, her husband, but Liam, who tried to harm her. I can't figure out why she is treating Duke like this. Duke is not at fault here. What is happening, Stanley? Why she is behaving like this?" Xavier was too confused to understand the situation. He was pacing restlessly in Stanley's cabin. Stanley was bandaging Duke's wound again. Duke wasn't saying anything. He was quiet the entire time. His eyes were bloodshot.Stanley looked at Xavier once and then focused on bandaging him again. When he finished bandaging, he sat down in his chair and took off his gloves and threw them in the dustbin. Then he looked at Duke and said in a calm voice, "Lelia has suffered a great emotional trauma. Of all the men, she can now see Liam. She didn't treat Duke like that; she treated him like that, thinking he was Liam," Stanley explained everything in a calm voice. After hearing Stanley's words, Xavier w
Xavier was pacing restlessly in Stanley's cabin. He was very worried for Duke. He was all ready to follow Duke but Stanley stopped him and did not let him follow Duke. When Duke did not return even after a long time, he became very restless. "I should not have listened to you. I should have followed him by disobeying your request, Stanley. He went out in anger. Who knows what he will do," Xavier started muttering to himself."I trust he will not do anything that will upset Lelia. It was very important for Duke to spend some time alone for his mental peace," Stanley said, but inside, he was also very worried for Duke. He was regretting for stopping Xavier. Just as Xavier was about to say something, Duke opened the door and entered. Seeing Duke's blood-covered body, Xavier and Stanley ran to him."How did this happen? Are you okay?" Stanley began cutting Duke's shirt with the scissors."There's no need to be so nervous. The bullet exited my body. You just need to bandage it," Duke sai
Duke was still awake in the last hours of the night. He was still staring at Lelia. He was waiting for her to open her eyes. Suddenly his phone started vibrating in his pocket. Duke was a little startled and took the phone out of his pocket and saw that it was his Grandfather calling.Duke kissed Lelia's hand and gently placed it on the bed and went to talk to the balcony to talk to his Grandfather. Duke took a deep breath and received the call. Henry's worried and dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the phone, "I thought I was your lifeline, Duke. But you left me for your work on such an important day.If your departure was so important, why did you take Lelia with you? You could have left Lelia with me. You forced her to work on this holiday too. This is not right at all. I never expected this from you.""I am sorry, Grandfather. I didn't come from there willingly. The work was very important. Don't worry. I will appear before you with Lelia very soon. Now tell me why yo
After four long hours, Stanley came out of the operating theater and saw Duke sitting there devastated. His hair was disheveled and he still had the blood-stained shirt on.Duke looked up when the door opened. Stanley was shocked to see Duke's eyes. Duke's eyes were incredibly red.Seeing Stanley, Duke quickly went to him and asked about Lelia, "How is Lelia doing now? Can I see her?"As Duke entered the operating theater without waiting for Stanley's answer, Stanley grabbed his hand and said in a guilty voice, "I tried my best. The operation was successful, but the next 24 hours were very critical. If Lelia does not regain consciousness within these 24 hours, she will go into a coma. I am sorry, I can not give you permission to see her now. You can see her after she regains consciousness"Stanley spoke these words without looking at Duke. When Stanley told him, Duke went to the small glass. Through the glass, he looked into the operation theater. He saw Lelia was sleeping. There were
When Liam started to remove Lelia's dress forcefully, Lelia tried to save herself with all her might."Leave me" Lelia started to scratch and pinch Liam's face and hands. She thought it was better to die than to be raped by Liam"How dare you still fight with me? It looks like you want me to behave roughy with you. Then it's okay. I will show you what is called rough s*x. When I finish playing with your body, you will not be able to recognize your body. You will have so many scars on your body that you will never be able to count them. And, the scars will remind you of me for the rest of your life. You will never forget tonight. Tonight will be a cursed night for you for cheating on me," Liam said and started to tear Lelia's clothes with fury."Don't, leave me. I am telling you, leave me. Someone save me," Lelia cried and desperately called for help.Seeing Lelia screaming, Liam picked up his phone and started hitting Lelia's head repeatedly. Lelia started writhing in intense pain. Li
