When Melissa stepped into the drawing room, a group of tall and well-built men, came into view. Together with his father and the Duke’s presence, in an instant, the spacious room became crowded. 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! 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.

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 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.

"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
