Duke Kensington groaned when he felt her touch against his body and when she hugged him, he could feel her ample bosom crushed against his chest. His kiss became more fiery and urgent, before he travelled down to her neck and ear. He slowly nibbled on her earlobe, causing her body to go limp and she moaned in his ears. "Zachary...." Her sweet voice calling his name excites him and he moved on to her other ear. So, this is her weak point, he's elated at this revelation. The moment his lips touched her other ear, her body became weaker and he had to hold her steady. After torturing her by nibbling on her earlobes, Duke Kensington's lips travelled further down and finally reached her chest. He planted kisses all over her bosom, and Melissa's hand went up to his head, pressing him lower. Duke Kensington understood what Melissa wanted and he slowly pushed down her dress, revealing her beautiful left breast. He gently kissed her nipple, causing her to gasp.When she felt Duke Kensington's
On the way back, Melissa closed her eyes and thought hard about what had happened earlier. So embarrassing. Why did I act like a wanton? Well, at least now I know that if I marry him in the future, I won't be repulsed by him. Melissa sighed deeply. She leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes. Probably she shouldn't get married at all. Meanwhile, at the Kensington Estates, Duke Kensington was still awake in his study. He held a glass of scotch in his hands and looked out into the dark night. The conversation between Melissa and him kept replaying in his mind. She said she didn't love him, and she didn't believe in love. She's even willing to push him to another woman. Duke Kensington had never felt this way towards another woman before. Ever since he met her the first time, she's always on his mind. When he woke up, the first thing he thought about was her. During the day, when he's working, his mind would occasionally wondered about her. At night, before he went to
"What? Are you serious?" Duke Malcom asked. "Yes, he's been sending her anonymous gifts." Lord Melvin told his father. "So, the girl he said he will pursue, it's Melissa?" Duke Malcom found it hard to believe. "Yes." Duke Malcom looked dazed. And to think he cheered him on that day. Duke Malcom felt embarrassed, especially when he remembered he actually said it in front of Zachary. "Is Zachary aware of this?" He asked. "Yes." Lord Melvin nodded his head. Duke Malcom went silent. Maybe his son was right. Getting her married off soon would fend off unwanted suitors. Now it's Lord Benjamin, next it might be someone else. "What did Zachary think about this?" He asked. "Who knows what's going on in his head? He must be regretting postponing the marriage now!" Lord Melvin was annoyed at the Duke's reaction in this matter. "Wait, did Melissa know about this?" The older man asked. "I'm not sure, Father. Mel is such an innocent and kind girl. She befriends everyone that's good to
The kiss was brief, but to Princess Katherine it seemed like an eternity. This was her first kiss! How dare he! "If you don't get up, I might do more than just kiss you." Lord Benjamin's voice could be heard, taunting her again. She came to her senses and saw Lord Benjamin smiling seductively at her. She immediately pushed herself up, and with his assistance, she managed to stand up. She looked around and heaved a sigh of relief. There wasn't anyone within sight. "You! Are you tired of living?! I'll tel my mom what you did!" Princess Katherine glared at him. "Well, aren't you afraid that she'll forced you to marry me? After all, this affects your reputation. I'm glad to comply if you want me to." Lord Benjamin replied with a mocking smile on his face. For once, Princess Katherine was speechless. He was right. Mother would most likely demand that this man marry her if she told on him. But she doesn't want to marry this bad man! She knew of his reputation and even if he's the las
"Father!" Lord William entered his father's study hurriedly. "What's wrong William?" Duke Kensington, who was waiting for the gardener, looked at his panic-looking son. Behind his son, an old man in his 50s appeared, also looking flustered. Mr Connor, the estates gardener had worked for the Kensingtons since he was a young man. His family had served the Duke's family for generations and he's a loyal staff of the estates. Duke Kensington looked at him, puzzled as to why these two people were bahaving like this early in the morning. "Your Grace...my apologies, I've failed in my duty." Mr Connor quickly apologized and lowered his head. "What happened?" The Duke asked. "Father! The roses are ruined! I walked pass the garden this morning and I saw the roses were all lying on the ground, smashed to bits!" Lord William informed his father.He was really alarmed when he saw that, he knew how much Melissa loved white roses and that's why he always made sure they were tend to by the garde
Duke Kensington wanted Melissa, badly. His hand which was holding her waist travelled up to caress her stomach before it reached her chest. When he touched her breast, Melissa moaned softly and pulled him closer. He gently kneaded her breasts over her clothes and he could feel the shape of her nipples. The sweet mounds hardened under his gentle caress and he loosen the strings that hold her bodice together. Finally, the strings were loosen and he was able to free her breasts. His lips left hers and he immediately lowered his head to take one nipple in his mouth, this time not giving any chance for Melissa to stop him. He licked and sucked the rosy pink mound while his hand squeezed her breasts gently, causing Melissa to moan his name. She urgently removed his jacket and finally managed to get it off with Duke Kensington's help. After he was done with one, Duke Kensington went to the other nipple, also licking and sucking it hard. He relished her taste, her sweet fragrance and her s
Lady Anastasia waited nervously for the man to appear. She wondered if she made a mistake by agreeing to help this dangerous man. She had heard of Mr King's reputation from her father's conversation with his friends not long ago. Mr King hailed from the north and had recently made a name for himself in the mining industry. He's known to be ruthless and connected to the underground world, basically indulging in many illegal activities. Despite knowing this, Lady Anastasia had no qualms in interacting with him, all because of her desire to exact revenge on Lady Melissa. When she wanted to leave the gallery the other day, Lady Anastasia had caught a glimpse of this man drooling after Lady Melissa. The lust and desire in his eyes were obvious. A dangerous idea came to mind and she had approached him. Today they had decided to meet to speak further of their collaboration. "My Lady, sorry to keep you waiting." A cold voice sounded from behind. Lady Anastasia turned and saw the eery-looki
Prince Xavier didn't know whether he should laugh at his sister, or console her. At this moment, the words struck him as odd. He had always thought Princess Katherine loved their cousin, Zachary. But she mentioned falling in love with a scumbag? There's no way Katherine would call Zachary a scumbag. She had adored him and even treated him like a God equivalent. There's no fault in her eyes with everything regarding him. "A scumbag? What're you talking about?" He couldn't help but ask."Is it possible to fall in love with someone you disliked before?" She asked him. "Well, feelings are complicated. Depends on circumstances, even the person you loved the most might end up being hated by you in the next second. So, liking someone whom you disliked before is also possible." Prince Xavier said after a thought. Princess Katherine sighed deeper after she heard this. At first, she was angry about what Lord Benjamin had done to her. But after she came back that day, her mind constantly drif
Duke Kensington woke up in a daze, feeling restless and unsure what the dream was about. He was covered in cold sweat and tried to recall the details of the dream. In the dream, he saw his son and beside him, there was another person. It was a woman but Duke Kensington couldn't see her face clearly. She was laughing and playing with William, while he watched them from afar. When she saw him, she beckoned him near and following her gesture, he walked towards them, hoping to see her face. There's something about her that made his heart swelled with love and happiness. He didn't want to let go of that moment.He never had any contact with any women ever since his wife passed away a few years ago, leaving him with a son to care for. However, due to the Queen's pressure lately, he had agreed to remarry and the candidate was chosen by the Queen herself. The dream he had last night was unexpected and something he couldn't decipher.Duke Kensington shook his head and cleared his mind. He ne
"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
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
Lady Sophia was shocked beyond words. The maids dragged her to the dungeons and mercilessly threw her on the hard cold floor before locking her in. They looked at her in disgust before walking away, leaving her alone to process what the hell just happened. One minute she was in the room with him, ready to carry out her plan but suddenly the Duke had woken up and ordered for her to be imprisoned!Realization dawned upon Lady Sophia that the tide had turned. Her plan had backfired and she had been tricked by him! He knew all along that the tea was laced with sleeping pill and he had come prepared for her. He even had the cook, Mrs Queen hiding in the room, waiting to ambush her! Lady Sophia suddenly laughed. She laughed and laughed until her laughter turned to sobs and eventually into an uncontrollable cries of anguish.She hated the man, she hated him for humiliating her like this. She looked down at her body and realized she was still in her inner wear. Ashamed, she covered herself
"Your Grace, the Duke has returned to the Estates." Carrie notified Melissa, who was in William's room at the moment. Young William was still recuperating and had gone to sleep after the doctor's visit. Melissa turned to Carrie and promptly asked,"Where is he now?""His Grace is in his study. Lady Sophia was summoned to see him earlier." Carrie explained.Melissa who had walked to the door to meet her husband stopped when she heard the name."Lady Sophia?" "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. Melissa bit her lip and thought for a moment before she finally decided to stay put. She had yet to come up with an idea on how to send Lady Sophia packing. Now is really not the time to dwell on useless presumptions about her husband. The last thing she wanted was to have any misunderstandings with the Duke. William's wellbeing is her focus now.After making sure William was comfortable,
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. Young William woke up a few times in the middle of the night due to discomfort in his stomach but Melissa managed to coax him back to sleep after giving him his medication. When dawn approached, she finally collapsed on the bed next to William due to exhaustion.Looking at his wife sleeping soundly after tending to his son the whole night, Duke Kensington's gaze darkened and he clenched his fist in anger. Something's needed to be done about this, he would not let hi
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 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
