"Aren't you afraid that the Princess would complain about you to the Queen?" Prince Xavier asked her while guiding her around the royal garden."Why should I? She's in the wrong, not me. How dare she called me ugly and asked me to fetch her a glass of water? Do I look like a maid to her?" Lady Melissa pouted her lips, not feeling the slightest guilt."Haha! Yes, you're right! How dare she! You're definitely not ugly at all." Prince Xavier replied, with a smile on his handsome face. "Of course, my mother is so beautiful, and I look like her. That means, I'm beautiful too, am I not?" Lady Melissa said proudly.Prince Xavier nodded repeatedly, indulging her vanity. "By the way Your Highness, why did you save me? I think you're in more trouble now than me." Lady Melissa said, puzzled as to why this Prince would rescue her from his own sister."I think you and I can be great friends. So, I saved you. Friends should look out for one another." With that, they reached to where his garden wa
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 21 - The Truth Revealed
Melissa's own heart tightened at this revelation. She felt Lady Melissa's longing, expectation, desires and love towards Prince Xavier, as if they were her own. It was truly overwhelming. She was speechless. Then she remembered something happened to Lady Melissa when she turned 16. It was at this palace banquet! In order to unravel this mystery, Melissa cast aside her own thoughts and concentrated on the memory of Lady Melissa. While she was admiring the roses, Lady Melissa heard a light cough and a voice saying, "I remember those are your favourites." Lady Melissa was startled and almost fell backwards. She felt a man's hands holding her steady and she felt shy at his touch. She quickly stood up and turned to face him. At first glance, Lady Melissa seemed uncertain as he looked somehow different with longer hair, but she would not mistake the warm blue eyes staring back at her. It was Prince Xavier! She exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness!" "Do you still remember me?" Prince Xavie
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 22 - It's Over for Lady Melissa
"What?" Lady Melissa said softly, staggering backwards. She held onto a nearby chair to steady herself, both physically and emotionally. 'Fiancée? How can it be? Just moments ago the Prince has asked me to become his intended. Is she making a joke?'"Yes, you heard me right. Prince Xavier and I are betrothed. The palace will announce it soon." Lady Anastasia said proudly."Why are you telling me this?" Lady Melissa still couldn't believe it. She must've ulterior motives to say these things to her."Why? You should know why. You didn't think your little seduction will work, did you? Smiling at him, hanging onto him shamelessly. Who do you think you are? You're just an outcast, a nobody in the society." Lady Anastasia was no longer smiling, in fact she looked so sinister as if she wanted to kill Lady Melissa that moment. "You're lying! The Prince is not engaged! Definitely not to you!" Lady Melissa couldn't accept this, it's outrageous."If it's not me, should it be you? Yes, I know ab
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 23 - It's The Beginning for Melissa
Melissa felt someone was holding her hand. But she didn't know who it was. The hands were big, indicating they belonged to a man. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't no matter how hard she tried.Is this how being in coma feels like?The man was stroking her palm, and soon she felt droplets of water on her hand. Whoever it was, he was crying, probably distressed by her condition. "Melissa, please open your eyes. I'm sorry for causing you such harm. I never meant to hurt you." The man said, his tone was very soft. It's Prince Xavier! Oh my God, he's crying because of me."I wish we could go back in time. I would get us engaged even if it meant going against the order of society. I waited three years for you, only to lose you again. It's been two years, there's no news from you. Melissa, what did I do wrong? Why did you shut me out completely without telling me the reason?" Prince Xavier's anguish voice clearly filled the quiet room.Based on what the Prince just said, Meliss

Duke Kensington stood alone by the window, watching the girl on the bed. She had been unconscious for 4 days now ever since she got injured. The doctor had just left after cleaning and apply new bandage to her wound. There was no positive indication as to when she would wake up. Duke Kensington sighed, worried at her stagnant condition.The Queen had proposed to both Duke Malcom and Duke Kensington to postpone the wedding, and wait until Lady Melissa was fully recovered. Duke Malcom readily agreed to the plan, as he was worried about his daughter's health.However, when Duke Kensington heard this, he found himself reluctant to agree. In fact, if he's given the choice, he would've married her even in this state and transport her back to the Kensington's Estates so he could tend to her himself.

The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 26 - Can't Bear to Leave You
"Mother, are you feeling alright?" Lord William whispered to Lady Melissa, afraid that if he talked louder, he might made her uncomfortable. Melissa laughed softly at his cute behaviour and replied, "I'm fine William. How have you been? Did you miss me?""Yes! I miss you Mother! You've been sleeping for so long. I'm afraid you won't wake up anymore." Lord William suddenly exclaimed, dispensing his earlier cautious behaviour. "How can I bear to leave you alone? Of course I will wake up." Melissa said while ruffling the boy's soft hair. Duke Kensington was just entering the room with the Queen when he heard what Lady Melissa had said. He knew those words were meant for his son, but he couldn't help but feel those words were intended for him too. He instinctively smiled again, somehow feeling pleased.

"Come on My Lord, don't make me wait." The half-naked woman was lying on the luxurious bed, her ample bosoms were exposed and waiting to be ravaged. The man whom she was talking to was standing not far away, pouring himself a glass of Scotch, downing it at one go before slamming the glass on the table. The man was in his 20s, tall with dark hair. His piercing dark eyes looked at the seductive woman appreciatively and he walked over to her slowly while releasing the robe he was wearing. His bulging manhood stood erected, ready to pierce into her honeypot. The woman's eyes widened at the sight before her. 'Looks like the rumour is true. Blackwell is generous indeed.'She licked her lips and waited for the man to pounce on her. Today was indeed her lucky day, she had met Lord Benjamin Blackwell while attending a tea party. He had offered to send her home, but instead of hers, he had brought her to his manor instead. Not that she objected, she had waited for this moment since the first t
