The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 50 - You're Just Like a Sister
"Your Highness, Your Grace, how do you do?" A sweet voice suddenly sounded from the side and both of them turned to see who it was.Lady Anastasia and Princess Katherine were seen approaching them, followed by a group of noble born ladies, mostly unknown to the two men.Seeing that it were these two women, Prince Xavier and Duke Kensington turned rigid and they both cursed softly at the same time, "Shit!"At the sound of that, they instantly looked at one another, sharing the same look of disdain.Prince Xavier simply gave a curt reply, while Duke Kensington merely nodded to all of them, not sparing a single glance to any of them. He took a sip of his drink and diverted his attention to look at Melissa who was chatting with the Queen. Princess Katherine saw this and she was furious. Lady Anastasia took the chance to initiate a conversation with Prince Xavier. She had gone to look for him earlier but was informed that the Prince was with Lady Melissa. Lady Anastasia at first wanted to

"Oh, that's Lady Anastasia, isn't she?" An older woman who was present at the Queen's table suddenly commented. The Queen had earlier introduced her as Countess Geraldine. "Yes, she's going after the Prince I presume." Another one, Lady Davis, chuckled when she saw the young girl hurrying to catch up with Prince Xavier. "Your Majesty, probably she will be able to snatch him this time around. You might have a daughter-in-law soon!" Countess Geraldine said, making the rest of them laughed including the Queen. "Well, I already have one now, so it will be good to have another in the family." The Queen patted Melissa's hand while she said that. Melissa's gaze immediately followed the lady who was walking behind Prince Xavier. 'So this is the one. Her target is still the Prince.' "Duke Kensington is so lucky to have such a lovely girl as his intended. Dear child, how are you two getting along?" Countess Geraldine asked kindly. "We're doing fine, Countess." Melissa said, she blushed

Sensing something was wrong with the whole situation, especially when the other party was Lady Anastasia, Melissa immediately stepped forward and pushed Lady Anastasia away with all her might. She quickly said to Duke Kensington, "Zachary, the Prince seems unwell." Lady Anastasia, who was pushed away suddenly, quickly came to her senses when she saw the two people who had appeared. She immediately agreed and said, "Yes, yes, the Prince is unwell. I found him like this and tried to help him." She looked at the woman standing between her and Prince Xavier and her fear was replaced by venomous thoughts. Anastasia felt like strangling this woman to death right now. She had meticulously planned the whole thing. Now with the bitch's appearance, she had ruined everything for her. Nonetheless, she needed to save herself first, if not she would be punished severely if the Queen knew what she had done. Duke Kensington who was holding Prince Xavier turned to look at Lady Anastasia and th

In his study, Lord Benjamin was pacing back and forth, his head was throbbing.Earlier, he had left the garden party when Duke Kensington took Lady Melissa away. Some ladies tried to cozy up to him before he left, but he had lost mood to entertain these brainless women. All he could think about was Lady Melissa. However, not long after he reached home, his sister came back and stormed into his study, blurting out some nonsense that she had done at the palace, that too towards the Prince! He tried to calm down but when he looked at this stupid girl in front of him, he felt like tearing her up into pieces. "Ana! You're so stupid!! Why would you do something like this?? Do you really think you can get away with it, even if you succeed? The Prince is not foolish to accept the marriage based on deceit! You don't think he would figure it out?!""Oh my God Ana, Father and I suggested this garden party to create an opportunity for you to approach and charm the Prince, not for you to scheme

The Queen remained quiet the entire time Duke Kensington narrated the whole incident to her. She closed her eyes when Duke Kensington finished speaking and asked softly, "Is Xavier doing well?""Yes, Your Majesty. The doctor said he will be fine by tomorrow morning." Duke Kensington assured her."Do you think she did it alone or her family is also in on this?" Queen Serina asked for her nephew's opinion. If the Blackwells were all involved, she would not hesitate to condemn them with treason."The Earl might not be the most righteous person but he will not resort to underhanded tactics like this. As for Lord Benjamin, his only flaw is his passion for women. Other than that, his integrity and principles are unquestionable. He's been my nemesis in business for years, we always compete fairly without any problem." Duke Kensington said carefully."What a pity. A young woman like her actually did something terrible like this. All because she wants to marry Xavier." Queen Serina shook her h

Prince Xavier woke up in a daze. He was clearly trying to get away from Lady Anastasia. Why was he on his bed? Did she....?Prince Xavier covered his face with his hand, anger slowly raising and eventually it consumed his whole entire being. His reached out to the nearby vase, took it and swung it across the room, shattering the glass all over his room. Duke Kensington walked in the moment the vase made contact with the marble floor, and barely managed to cover his face from being shredded by the shards of glasses. He looked at the Prince's angered face, his blue eyes turned so dark that it was filled with an intent to kill. "Nothing happened to you. She didn't succeed." Duke Kensington quietly addressed the issue. Knowing his cousin, that man must've already thought the worst.Prince Xavier looked up to see Duke Kensington's grim expression. He closed his eyes in relieve. He thought that vile woman had already succeeded and he would be forced to take her as his wife. If she didn't

"Bitttcccchhhhhh!!!!!! Lady Anastasia screamed. She reached for the nearest items she could reach and started thrashing everything in sight."I'm going to kill her, I swear!!!!"Lord Benjamin Blackwell walked in to see his sister acting like a mad woman, shouting and screaming in the empty room, while throwing things around.He walked up to her and suddenly,Slap!Lady Anastasia was startled by the hard slap and stumbled backwards.When she realized it's Lord Benjamin who had slapped her, she instantly fell on her knees and cried her hearts out."What's the point of crying and acting like this? It's the outcome we've expected. Do you think the Queen will graciously accept you as her daughter-in-law after what you've done?"Lord Benjamin walked to the nearby window and looked out."That bitch!! It's her who destroyed my plan. I swear I will not let her go!" Lady Anastasia said in anger.Lord Benjamin only shook his head looking at his vengeful sister. 'She's targeting Melissa now, I ne

I’m fine, Melissa.”“Good morning, Your Grace.” Lord Benjamin turned to Duke Kensington and greeted him curtly.Duke Kensington just nodded his head to acknowledge the other man’s presence.

At this moment, nothing could distract her from checking out her real ‘baby’, her precious art gallery.The

"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
