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

"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

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

Once the Queen retired to her inner chambers, Prince Xavier silently made his way back to Lady Melissa's room. His gaze soften at the sight of her, she looked so beautiful even in her sleep and with the hideous bandage around her head. Prince Xavier sat on the chair placed beside the bed and held her hand in his. Her hand was slightly cold and he caressed it, trying to make it warm.Looking at her pitiful state, Prince Xavier couldn't help but felt burdened. He cried silently, tears falling down his handsome face. His heart was aching for whatever that had happened between them, until this unexpected turn of events. But he was also relieved that despite everything, she's here with him now. Although he knew she won't be able to hear anything he said, Prince Xavier decided to unload his grievances for the past two years to the sleeping beauty, letting everything off his chest. After saying his piece, Prince Xavier stared at Lady Melissa's face. She looked so serene with her eyes closed

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 sight of the half-read book placed on the small table beside the bed could only mean one thing, the Prince had been visiting Lady Melissa in secret. Duke Kensington had seen the book in the P

"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. At the Knights' manor, Duke Malcom and his son were in the study discussing business when Sir Andrew rushed in."Your Grace! News from the palace. Lady Melissa has awaken!" "What?? Is

"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

"She's back." These were the only two words she said, but Lord Benjamin knew who she was talking about. A glint in his eyes flashed by before anyone could catch it."Did you meet her?" He asked, feigning disinterest in the topic, even though deep down he's curious about the young lady whom he had desired to conquer ever since he laid eyes on her 2 years ago. His useless sister had interfered in his plan back then when she successfully drove her away from their social circle, all because of that bastard Prince."No! Do you know she's now engaged to Kensington?! That bitch! After she failed with Prince Xavier, she dig her claws on Kensington!" Lady Anastasia gritted her teeth in anger, while punching the soft cushion in her arms.Lord Benjamin flinched at this new information. Never would he ever thought that Lady Melissa would be paired with his arch nemesis, Duke Zachary Kensington. He inhaled deeply and exhaled before enquiring further, "So, what's the problem? It's the Prince that y

"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
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

"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.

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.

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
