Chapter 18 - UNINVITED GUEST

Duke's POV

Why, oh why has my uncle arrived? What precisely does he want of me? I'm walking towards my office, knowing that my uncle will be sent there, even if I don't want to leave Elaine's side quite yet.

Damn.

I'm still not ready to let uncle see Elaine, and I had no plans to let him see Elaine. But if he stays in this place, this will cause problems. I need a strategy to get him to leave this house.

" Where is my uncle?" I asked Ash, our family butler, as we walked.

"He's staying at your office, sir," Ash responded to my question.

" Did he say the purpose of his visit?" I asked Ash again.

"No sir, your uncle didn't inform us about the reason for his unexpected visit," Ash said with a shake of his head.

I simply nodded in response and proceeded directly to my office, opening the door and stepping inside. My uncle turned around to see who walked in, and when he realized it was me, his lips formed a phony smile.

"Oh here you are, my favorite niece," he

I was then brought to the chamber that I shall be utilizing throughout my marriage with Duke. But instead of relaxing in the room, I asked Reya if I could go to Duke's Office since I had something urgent to discuss, and she instantly sent me there, which he didn't enjoy because I was in his office."So, what do you want to talk about with me?" Duke questioned again, irritably interrupting what I was thinking.When I glance around his office, I see that the interior design isn't to Duke's liking, as if it was designed for someone else. I've also realized that this place feels quite familiar to me, as if I've been here before but can't remember when, which is highly odd given that I di

    Chapter 20 - Complicated to Dissect Elaine's POV When I returned to my room, Reya gently assisted me in climbing onto my bed. After successfully climbing onto my bed, I informed Reya she could leave now.After Reya had shut the door to my room, I collapsed on the bed in frustration. As I looked up at the ceiling, I remembered a heated discussion I had with Duke, who had grown exceedingly unreasonable to discuss anything."DAMN YOU DUKE HAYES!" I swore angrily at Duke's name.Why do men have such an awful attitude?! Why can't they be nice and considerate to women? Men are quite complicated to understand.Worse, we need to dissect them thoroughly before we can comprehend what they are thinking, feeling, and what their acts signify to them as well as to us. It is difficult to dissect men since we need a great deal of patience to finish the dissection because some men, like my new husband, are stubborn."Goddamn it, why do I have to marry a man who is cruel and cold to me?! " I grumbl

Venice said, concerned by my rage.I looked him in the eyes and answered sarcastically, "Do I seem okay?! No right?""I'm sorry, sir, but why are you upset? Is there something wrong with the flow of the ceremony that has made you angry and upset?" He questioned again what is the source of my annoyance and anger.I took a deep breath and glanced at the list of guests who had been invited today for my succession of my grandfather's business, which after many years of waiting, I could finally inherit and protect it from my uncle."Is there any way those old geezers and bastards may be deleted off the list of invited

What are you doing here?!" Duke asked in an irritated voice.I returned his frigid stare, "to see you and attend your Succession Ceremony, am I not permitted to visit or attend the significant ceremony in my darling Husband's life?" I sarcastically answered."Elaine, you know, the doctor told you to rest and not move," he reasoned, reminding me of the doctor's advice."My injured right leg, the doctor implies that, but I can't move via the wheelchair without any issues," I responded to his illogical argument, "or you're simply ashamed to let everyone see how crippled your Wife is because I had a sprained leg?" I added a little pain to my voice.After hearing what I had stated, Duke's eyes opened in disbelief. "What the heck! Why would I say something so ridiculous?!" he said furiously." Then why didn

It's entertaining to see her expression when she's astonished, thrilled, or bewildered by the food she's munching." Boss, is your stomach full or are you full because of another reason?" Venice whispered to my ear to prevent Elaine from hearing what he said.While Elaine and the maid were putting away the plates that we used during, we ate the breakfast that Elaine had brought us minutes ago.We're both working at my table right now, or so it appears because I'm only pretending while I steal a glimpse at Elaine, which is why Venice asked me such a teasing question.I instantly kicked Venice's foot so hard that he almost lost his footing, but happily he had regained his feet, and so I stared at Venice, "Shut up you bastard! If Elaine was not here, you are already fired or dead," I threatened."As if you coul

As Duke proceeded to kiss my throat after carefully undressing my dress, my entire body felt heated and out of control." Damn it, Elaine, you're so beautiful," Duke said in a whisper.Slowly, his lips slid down towards my bra, and he removed it without hesitation. But he didn't kiss me right away, instead staring at my chest with his eyes. My nipples hardened instantly as He looked through his midnight eyes." Damn it!" I yelled as I grabbed his hair to urge him to continue what he was doing and stop staring at it.He just smiled at me " So impatient" he commented to my reaction and he slowly moved his face, as his lips touch my skin I can't help but to moaned as he kiss-Someone unexpectedly knocks on the door, surprising both of us and rousing us from our dream.
