The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 81 - Retribution
When Lord Benjamin returned to his manor, the party had long ended. The house was quite, and few servants could be seen scurried around to clean the remaining mess left by the guests. They bowed in respect when they saw their Young Lord.“Where’s your Mistress?” He asked a young maid nearby.“My Lord, the Young Lady is in her room.” She politely answered.“Call her to my study now.” Without waiting for the maid to reply, Lord Benjamin walked to his study, all the while trying to calm himself down.When he went in, Walters was already seated waiting for him. When Walters saw his Master, he immediately stood up and went to his side.“Is it done?” Lord Benjamin asked while fixing a glass of drink.“Yes, My Lord. It was reported as an accidental fire.” Walters replied.“The bodies?”“They have been sent to the city morgue.” Walters said.“Any sign of him?” Lord Benjamin asked further.“The bodies were charred beyond recognition, My Lord. At this point, we couldn’t know for sure. He might

The next morning, the news of the fire which had destroyed Mr King’s manor had spread far and wide in the capital.The Queen was in her chambers when the matter was reported to her. However, it was also reported that the fire was accidental and there was no element of crime related to the incident.The Queen didn’t dwell on the subject and dismissed it as soon as she was informed of it. Although Mr King’s body had yet to be identified, alongside his men, he was after all, a foreign man who had only recently come to the capital and there was not much information about this victim. Therefore, in the Queen’s eyes, he was an insignificant person to her.When Duke Malcom seek audience with her this morning, the Queen didn’t think too much about it and welcomed him warmly. However, looking at his worried look, she knew something bad must’ve happened.“Your Majesty, pardon my intrusion this morning. I have something to report to you urgently.”“What is it?” She quickly asked.“Melissa was ki

When Queen Serina heard the name, her gaze turned serious, and she instructed the attendant to bring Lord Benjamin to the back garden. She nodded at Duke Malcom knowingly and promptly left the room.Duke Kensington was getting impatient. “What’s going on, Your Grace??”Duke Malcom once again explained the whole situation to Duke Kensington.However, the moment Duke Kensington heard that Melissa had been injured and was unconscious since last night, he stood up in panic and instantly bade farewell to Duke Malcom before storming out of the chambers.Duke Malcom was speechless at the younger man’s hasty departure.“I haven’t even told him about what happened to King.” The old man grumbled aloud.However, in the next second, his irritation was replaced with a sense of relief.“Well, at least he put Melissa’s safety and health above everything else.” With that thought, he took a sip of his tea and patiently waited for the Queen to return.In the back garden, Lord Benjamin was seated across

Although she was of tall stature, Melissa still felt timid standing amongst these noble crowd.Her eyes scanned the room and the looks thrown at her varied from one another. Prince Xander gave her a small smile and nodded in her direction. Melissa smiled back at him.Unlike his calm younger brother, Prince Xavier immediately pounced on her, disregarding the annoyed look on his cousin’s face.As for Lord Benjamin…well, he looked hesitant. He seemed to want to get near her, but he stopped his movement when Prince Xavier moved ahead of him.Melissa smiled at Lord Benjamin, grateful was evident on her face. She mouthed the words, ‘Thank you’ at him and he nodded his head while smiling brightly at her. If not for this man, Melissa knew she probably would have died, one more time.This subtle exchan

Zachary was stunned at this sudden announcement and couldn’t help but gaze at the other two.Lord Benjamin’s grip on his glass of whiskey tightened until his knuckles turned white. He’s clearly unhappy with what Duke Malcom had said but his years of experience warrant him no reaction, apart from this small gesture, which was obviously noticed by Duke Kensington.Prince Xavier, on the other hand, immediately stood up to face the older Duke and protested.“Duke Malcom, have you asked Melissa whether she agrees to what you said? As I recall, her marriage was postponed indefinitely and only when she’s ready, should it happen. As for whom she gets married to, that remains her choice as well.”Duke Malcom didn’t respond immediately.“Your Highness, rest assured that I will not do anything against my daughter’s will. As for her choice of a husband, that has been decided too.”As he uttered the last part, his gaze fell on Duke Kensington, drawing an ire from the Prince.“Are you saying that M

"What's going on here? Melvin! Let go of your sister. You're already a grown up. Why are you crying?" Duke Malcom chided his son when he saw this unbearable scene. Hearing his father's stern voice, Lord Melvin straightened up his body and wiped his tears. When he saw the other men who were standing behind his father, his eyes widen in shock. Dammit, why are they all here??"I'm just worried. How do you do, Your Highness, Your Grace?" Lord Melvin averted his father's scolding eyes and turned to greet the older Prince and Duke Kensington.He then looked at Lord Benjamin and he said sarcastically, "You seem to be very free today, Benjamin. No girls to woo?" A smack landed on the back of his head and Lord Melvin flinched. "Is this how you treat your sister's savior??" Duke Malcom reprimanded his son. Lord Melvin pouted his lips and kept his mouth shut. However, when he glared at Lord Benjamin, the other man smiled tauntingly and replied,"I think it should be you who needs extra work

"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.

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

The Cold Duke and the Modern Maiden Chapter 110 - It's My Turn Now

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.

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
