The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 114 - Not Again!
"Ms Hall! Ms Hall! What are your inspirations behind these wonderful paintings? Can you share it with us?" "Ms Hall, now that you've inherited the Graden Arts Hall, do you plan to expand it?""Ms Hall, when will your next exhibition be?" "Can you comment on the rumours that you've secretly gotten married?"A throng of reporters swarmed around Melissa, asking her a barrage of questions which she couldn't keep up. She smiled politely and held up her hand to the reporters before answering them calmly."Do you believe me if I say that I painted these art pieces based on the dreams I have had over the years?" Before the reporters could clarify, she continued,"I plan to keep the Graden Hall as it is, to honour the memory of my late Master. I will continue to hold exhibitions here and when the time comes, you all will be invited."She looked at the reporters who were busy writing down their contents and some were filming her."As for my so-called secret marriage, it's not true. I do not

Duke Kensington woke up in a daze, feeling restless and unsure what the dream was about. He was covered in cold sweat and tried to recall the details of the dream. In the dream, he saw his son and beside him, there was another person. It was a woman but Duke Kensington couldn't see her face clearly.

The last time Melissa was awake, she was busy choosing a dress for the university's 25th anniversary gala. She still remembered the sense of triumph as she had managed to snatch a good deal on a sapphire blue dress which didn't cost her a bomb as expected. She could imagine wearing it to the gala, with everyone admiring her. 'Professor Derrick would ask me to dance and then he would look into my eyes, leaned down and finally kiss me…!'The last sound she heard was the sound of tires screeching and suddenly she was thrown up in the air before landing hard on the road. The bag which contained the sapphire dress was laying on the ground beside her. Melissa wanted to get up but she couldn't move at all. She heard loud voices and people surrounding her but she couldn't do anything. Finally everything around her was dark and she seemed to have gone into abyss."Aaawwwww!!" Suddenly Melissa was jolted back to reality when she fell down hard on her back. She opened her eyes and looked around.

"My Lady, I heard Duke Kensington will be coming over for a visit this evening and your presence is also required. Shall we decline that visit as well?" Lily asked tentatively. Hearing the cursed name made Melissa trembled unconsciously. "Is that Duke Zachary Kensington whom you referred to?" Melissa enquired, her heart unwilling to accept the answer. "Yes My Lady." Lily confirmed with a smile in her eyes. Who in this mansion didn't know that Duke Kensington had been chosen as the Mistress's future husband. "Decline, decline! Tell His Grace that I am unwell and I need to rest! No visitors until I feel better!" Melissa exclaimed suddenly, making Lily jumped a step back. "Yes My Lady. I will inform the Duke right away." With that Lily backed away and left the room, looking puzzled. Her Mistress was fine just now but now she seemed annoyed and possibly angry too. What's going on? Did she not want to marry Duke Kensington? 'Okay, okay, calm down. I need to figure this out. Accordin

Few days had passed since she transmigrated and faked her sickness. During this time, she managed to gather more information from Lily regarding her intended fiancé and his background. It all matched whatever was described in the novel, except Lily didn't know anything about Lady Sophia, Duke Kensington's cousin and her nemesis in this life! This lady caused all her sufferings and ultimately her death, so she needed to know everything there was about her. Fortunately it was mentioned in the book that she lived on the Duke's estate and was one of the estate's staff. Hence, she was able to get close to Lady Melissa and manipulated her. So now, all she had to do was to avoid this marriage. Without this marriage, she wouldn't meet this vicious woman and thus she would be safe. Right, good plan so far. "My Lady, your presence is required in the drawing room." Lily suddenly appeared by her side while she was engrossed with her thoughts. "Reason?" Melissa asked Lily. "I was informed

Unexpectedly, Lady Melissa crouched down and carried the boy in her arms with ease, as if she had done it many times before. There was no awkwardness at all in her action. Smiling, she led the boy to the nearby seats and they sat side by side. She then pinched the boy's nose slightly and asked, "Would you like me to be your new mother? Won't you be afraid to have a stranger as your mom?" "No! I'm not afraid. Father said I'm a brave boy. I like you to be my new mother. Would you? We can be best friends!" The young boy said proudly. He liked the look of this gentle lady. Her eyes were so beautiful and she looked kind. He knew she would be the perfect playmate for him. In his mind there're already so many games they could play together. He won't be bored anymore! Aunt Sophia was wrong! This lady was not ugly at all. "Alright then. If you'd like me to, I can't refuse a request from such a cute young boy. Would you like some cookies?" Lady Melissa sighed inwardly.There was no way sh

Lord William Kensington was grinning ear to ear on the way back, holding the bag of cookies as if that was his most prized possession. Duke Kensington shook his head looking at his son, who looked so foolish with that silly smile on his face. "Do you like her that much? You've been smiling from the moment we left." Duke Kensington asked his son. "Yes! She baked the most delicious cookies. And she added extra chocolate chips, just for me! Will she come and live with us soon, Father?" Lord William enquired excitedly. He wished Lady Melissa could come back with him today itself but she's not married to his father yet. Thinking of how slow his father is, Lord William couldn't help but pout his lips. 'What a man, he can't even make her come and live with them sooner!' Looking at his son suddenly looking at him while pouting, Duke Kensington felt helpless. 'This boy is thinking of something for sure.' He had been hogging Lady Melissa all to himself during the time they were at the K

The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 113 - Melissa's Return
Beep, beep, beep, beep...The sound of the machine echoed in the spacious room. Melissa felt something sharp poking into her hand and she winched. She slowly opened her eyes and was confused. The white room seemed foreign to her and she didn't remember any white room in the Kensington Estates. Her eyes scanned the room and she saw mechanical instruments by the bed, and an IV drip attached to her hand. Wait a minute, is this the hospital?Before she could process her thoughts, the door to the room opened and a young lady dressed like a nurse walked in. The nurse went straight to the IV drip and checked it before proceeding to adjust something on the machine next to the bed. She seemed oblivious to the fact that Melissa was staring at her intently. The nurse turned to check the patient next and the moment she saw Melissa's bright eyes looking at her, she screamed in shock."You're awake!!! Oh my God!! Wait, I need to call the doctor!!" She said excitedly. Melissa had a guess on w
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 112 - Everything's Over?
Lady Sophia was shocked beyond words. The maids dragged her to the dungeons and mercilessly threw her on the hard cold floor before locking her in. They looked at her in disgust before walking away, leaving her alone to process what the hell just happened. One minute she was in the room with him, ready to carry out her plan but suddenly the Duke had woken up and ordered for her to be imprisoned!Realization dawned upon Lady Sophia that the tide had turned. Her plan had backfired and she had been tricked by him! He knew all along that the tea was laced with sleeping pill and he had come prepared for her. He even had the cook, Mrs Queen hiding in the room, waiting to ambush her! Lady Sophia suddenly laughed. She laughed and laughed until her laughter turned to sobs and eventually into an uncontrollable cries of anguish.She hated the man, she hated him for humiliating her like this. She looked down at her body and realized she was still in her inner wear. Ashamed, she covered herself

"Your Grace, the Duke has returned to the Estates." Carrie notified Melissa, who was in William's room at the moment. Young William was still recuperating and had gone to sleep after the doctor's visit. Melissa turned to Carrie and promptly asked,"Where is he now?""His Grace is in his study. Lady Sophia was summoned to see him earlier." Carrie explained.Melissa who had walked to the door to meet her husband stopped when she heard the name."Lady Sophia?" "Yes, Your Grace."Somehow this news didn't sit well with Melissa.Why did he meet her? He didn't even find me or William when he came back. Melissa bit her lip and thought for a moment before she finally decided to stay put. She had yet to come up with an idea on how to send Lady Sophia packing. Now is really not the time to dwell on useless presumptions about her husband. The last thing she wanted was to have any misunderstandings with the Duke. William's wellbeing is her focus now.After making sure William was comfortable,
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 110 - It's My Turn Now
Duke Kensington sat by William and held his son's hand. He didn't say anything about the cookies, which made Melissa nervous for some reason. The silence was utterly uncomfortable for her. "I didn't send them to William." She finally said, breaking the silence in the room.Duke Kensington finally looked up and smiled at his wife. "I know you didn't." He replied calmly.Melissa nodded and the room fell into silence again. Both Melissa and the Duke stayed with the little boy throughout the night, observing his condition. Young William woke up a few times in the middle of the night due to discomfort in his stomach but Melissa managed to coax him back to sleep after giving him his medication. When dawn approached, she finally collapsed on the bed next to William due to exhaustion.Looking at his wife sleeping soundly after tending to his son the whole night, Duke Kensington's gaze darkened and he clenched his fist in anger. Something's needed to be done about this, he would not let hi

Melissa smiled at the staffs before she addressed them all."Good day, everyone. Thank you for meeting with me today. I will get to know each and everyone of you in due time so there's no rush today. You can go back to your work. But before you leave, I want to remind you that I do not like to use a third person to convey any message, instruction, order or request to anyone at all. As such, every instruction given to you would be communicated to you personally by me, with no medium in between. If you do not receive the order directly from me, please be reminded that you will suffer the consequences should you act on it. With that said, should you receive any instruction from another party on my name, you must come to me directly. It would only mean that someone is trying to undermine my authority as the Duchess of Kensington and I will not tolerate that. Understood?"All the staffs were stunned and could only nod their heads in understanding. However, some of the older staffs looked d
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 108 - Make Love to Me
The next morning, the sun had risen in the sky when Melissa woke up. A warm hand was placed on her back, making her movements restricted. The warm hand suddenly moved and pulled her into a hug. Melissa looked at the handsome guy in front of her and sighed.She traced her finger on his forehead, his nose and finally his lips. Duke Kensington kissed her finger, his eyes still closed. Melissa giggled and pulled her hand back. In a swift movement, Duke Kensington got up and pinned her under his body, making her giggled more. "Running away? Not a chance!" The Duke kissed her, while she stroke his back. Melissa could feel her husband's cock hardened and pressed against her legs. She instinctively spread her legs apart, inviting him in.He groaned and placed his hard cock against her vagina, before he slowly moved it up and down her wet slit. She moaned in his mouth, prompting him to move faster and eventually, he slide his manhood into her tight cave.Melissa's insides squeezed him hard

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you." The Duke whispered in Melissa's ear, comforting her.Melissa nodded slightly and she ran her fingers through the Duke's hair, while enjoying his touch and kisses. The Duke seemed to be under the impression that she's young and naive in this area, and had taken the lead in their first night together. Melissa had allowed the man to do whatever he wanted, especially when she was inexperienced herself. However, she had read and watched enough movies in her previous life to know what to expect and therefore she braced herself for her first time. The Duke's kisses travelled down from her breasts to her stomach, and eventually his lips ended up kissing her most intimate area. He parted her legs slightly, giving him more access to her body and started sucking her cunt. His movements were slow at first but they gradually became faster and her moans became louder with each action he took. "Aaahhh! Zachary!" Hearing his name coming out of her sweet l
