"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
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
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
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
The next morning, a carriage carrying the insignia of Earl Baxter Blackwell could be seen approaching the palace. The Queen, having received the information beforehand, was deep in thought while waiting for Earl Blackwell's arrival. She knew very well the reason of this visit, something she had anticipated to happen ever since she tactfully rejected their proposal the last time. Earl Baxter Blackwell, a prominent figure in the society, carried a considerable amount of backing to the royal court and he served as one of the loyal courtiers of the palace. Therefore, although the Queen held the ultimate powers in the royal court, she still needed to be tactful in front of Earl Blackwell. Besides the Earl, the Queen would also be receiving his son, Lord Benjamin Blackwell. Not one to be underestimated, Lord Benjamin had time and again proven himself to be an influential figure in the society, claiming monopoly in the textile industry and was himself a brilliant businessman, second only to
The Queen then invited the Blackwells to have tea with her at the royal garden, to which they accepted graciously. When they stepped into the open area of the garden, a delicious array of pastries were already placed on the table, as well as a hot pot of tea. They continued their chatter at ease, with both the Queen and the Earl mostly reminiscing the past, while Lord Benjamin listened on politely. His eyes however, betrayed his attention as they were constantly looking around, as if searching for something.Suddenly, he saw a figure at the far end of the garden, walking slowly towards the main palace. Anxious, he stood up abruptly, nearly knocking over his tea cups on the table. His action surprised the two other occupants at the table and they followed his gaze to see what had captured this man's attention for him to react so strongly. When the Queen realized that Lord Benjamin was staring at Lady Melissa, she frowned and purposely cleared her throat, indicating her displeasure to
When Duke Kensington saw the man who was walking towards him, he noticed that man's gaze was clearly on Lady Melissa, who at the moment was busy talking to William. Annoyed at how brazen Lord Benjamin was at the moment, Duke Kensington immediately bent down and whispered something in his son's ear. His son seemed to understand what his father meant and nodded his head before quickly pulling Lady Melissa's hand.“Let's go Mother, I want you to bake me some more cookies. I want butter cookies today!" Lady Melissa was curious as to what Duke Kensington had told his son, but the next moment William was pulling her away abruptly. So he just wanted cookies! "Your Grace, I will take my leave first then." “Go ahead, I will meet you two inside." Duke Kensington smiled while nodding his head. Looking at the retreating figures, Lord Benjamin frowned. However, he couldn't turn back now as he was approaching Duke Kensington. His eyes followed Lady Melissa but seconds later his line of sight was
