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
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 25 - My Love Rival
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
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. 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
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 27 - The Wicked Witch of the East
"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
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 28 - She's Back
"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
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 29 - Do You Remember?
Dusk had approached when Prince Xavier reached the palace. After washing up, Prince Xavier proceeded to visit Lady Melissa, holding a bouquet of fresh white roses for her. However, when he knocked on the door, there was no response. 'Probably she's asleep.' Prince Xavier cautiously opened the door, fearing he would wake her up. He had earlier received news that Lady Melissa's family as well as Duke Kensington had left the palace. Therefore, she should be alone now. When he stepped into the room, it was empty. Puzzled, Prince Xavier went nearer to the bed and looked around the spacious room. Lady Melissa was nowhere to be found. Disappointed, he thought Lady Melissa had finally gone home with her family. "Your Highness?" A soft voice called out to him. Prince Xavier turned around and was relieved when he saw Lady Melissa standing by the door. The dim sunlight which shone from the window reflected on her, causing her to look as radiant as ever. The previous hideous bandage had been r
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 30 - The Cousins' Standoff
Upon reaching the pavilion, Prince Xavier invited her to have a seat while he sat opposite her. Somehow, Melissa felt a sense of familiarity at this scene. She had seen it in the original host's memories. But the place was different, in Lady Melissa's memory, it was the gazebo where she had injured herself. Under the moonlight, both individuals sat quietly, contented with each other's presence and the cool weather, each deep in their own thoughts.Meanwhile, at the main palace, Duke Kensington's carriage arrived and he alighted the carriage, holding a bouquet of white roses in his hands. However, before he could reach Lady Melissa's room, a page dutifully informed him that Lady Melissa was not in her room at the moment as she was out taking a stroll in the royal garden. As to her exact location, the page guided the Duke out and pointed to a direction on the east side. On that note, Duke Kensington immediately walked towards the royal garden to find his fiancée. He was in a happy mood
The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 31 - The Cousins' Standoff (2)
Both men were breathing hard after exhausting all their bullets against each other, ending their war of words. They stood there in silence, glaring at each other, digesting what had transpired, somehow feeling foolish at how they had behaved moments ago. "This clearly brings back memories. I feel like we were 12 again. Remember the puppy that was gifted to Mother?" Prince Xavier suddenly said, lamenting on a memory only known to both of them. "Yeah...from what I remembered, it died not long after that. Aunt Serina said it's due to 'excessive love'." Duke Kensington added.On that note, both men sighed loudly. "I won't let her go, Xavier." Duke Kensington finally said, declaring his stance in this love affair. "Neither will I, Zachary." Not one to back down, Prince Xavier declared the same. "We should let her choose." After some thoughts, Duke Kensington felt this seemed to be the best option. Ultimately, Lady Melissa should be the one to choose her own happiness. "The engagement
