Chapter 25 - Annoying GuestDUKE'S POV After Elaine left the office, I looked at Venice with a furious frown on my face, which Venice pretended not to notice."I will kill you later " I threaten Venice as I look at him with my deadly stare.Venice just ignored my threat and just looked at me without any expression on his face. " Shall I call your uncle Sir?" He asked." Obviously?" I sarcastically replied to his question.Venice did not respond to what I said and just exited my office. While I waited for him, I reflected on what happened when Elaine and I were alone together and how close I came to losing control of my urges. I can't help myself. I want to gobble her up in her flowery dress because she is so gorgeous and seductive.We would have done what we couldn't finish the last time if it hadn't been for my Uncle's unexpected arrival without an appointment." Sir Mr. Hayes has come," Venice said outside my office, alerting me to their arrival." Come in" I replied to Venice.Ve
Chapter 26 - ScaredElaine's POVWhen I walked into Duke's Office with Reya moving my wheelchair, I could feel malicious eyes looking at me, giving my entire body goosebumps. When I looked up to see where it came from, it was gone.As I looked up, I noticed that Duke has his guest, a man in his 40s with chestnut hair and he has castleton green eyes. And his face is very familiar to me. Where did I see him?" Elaine, I apologize for keeping you waiting so long for me while I have my appointment," Duke said abruptly, interrupting my train of thought."Oh, it's okay honey, I understand, you don't have to apologize, it's me who has to apologize for barging in without notice," I said as I apologized to him as well." Anyway, this is my uncle and uncle this is my wife" Duke introduced the man in front of me as his uncle and also introduced me to the man.I cast a glimpse at the person Duke referred to as his uncle, who was smiling at me and looking at me, which made me uneasy."

Chapter 27 - GermsDUKE'S POVWhen Elaine had already left my office, I grabbed something from my table and threw it harder on the floor, causing it to shatter."HOW DARE HE TOUCH HER! FUCKING BASTARD!" I roared, cursing what my uncle had done.How dare he touch Elaine's face with his germ-infested hands. He could infect her with viruses, and Elaine might get sick as a result of what he did, therefore I'm going to kill him." Sir, what did you say to Mrs. Hayes that caused her to shed tears?" Venice asks a question coldly.Well I don't want to tell her about the issue with my uncle, which is why I just insulted her make-up and the dress she was wearing so that Elaine will obey my orders. I just wanted to clean her face and throw away the dress my uncle had touched.And I also noticed how she suppressed her tears in front of me which makes me want to punch myself for making her cry and sad." You don't need to know and mind your own business Venice" I said, reminding Venice of his posi

I looked around to look for Duke but he was not around. " Mr. West, where is my husband?" I said, astonished to hear my voice, which caused him to look up fast towards me."Oh, Mrs. Hayes, you look gorgeous in your new dress." Mr. West instantly praised me on how lovely I looked in my dress.At the same moment, he rose up from his seat on my husband's table, like a teenager caught doing evil things while no one was looking. I merely giggle softly at his endearing reaction." Thank you , Mr.West " I thanked him for praising me and asked my first question again " So where is my husband Mr.West?" "Oh yeah, Mr.Hayes had gone out to smoke on the rooftop," Mr.West said, nervously adjusting his spectacles.Smoking?I raised my eyebrows at him " really?" "Yes, Mrs. Hayes, bo

Because that's the type of death I desire, a horrible death to atone for all of my wrongdoings.I began to stroke her exquisite Jade and wavy hair. "Interesting, so what are you going to do to keep me from smoking again?" I questioned Elaine." Lollipop, " she whispered in reply.I laughed at what she said and Elaine stopped laying on my body, looked at me with an angry expression" why are you laughing Idiot! I am serious about making you eat lollipops as an alternative!" She yelled at me."Are you trying to make me diabetic?" I joked, and she simply pouted in front of me."Why would I want you to get diabetes?" she said angrily as Elaine continued to pout.So cute."Well, if I eat too many lollipops and become hooked, I'll acquire diabetes," I explained to her while grinning in front of Elaine."Oh well, you're right, having a lollipop is a no-no, wh
Chapter 30 - Ceremony PART 1 : handsome manElaine's POVWe finally came down from the rooftop after finishing our conversation and returned to Duke's office quietly. While Duke softly pushes my wheelchair as we return together.Is he genuine about accomplishing what I requested even if there's no reward? I wasn't expecting to hear him agree to what I asked him regarding the type of reward I'd offer him; I was kidding a little when I asked if he'd do whatever I wanted even if it wasn't a reward." Finally, both of you are back, I thought you would just stay there forever! '' Mr.West scolded when he saw us coming while he waited in front of the Duke's Office." I am really sorry Mr.West for making you worried" I apologize to Mr.West for coming back so late.Mr. West simply smiled at me and said, "Don't worry Mrs. Hayes, I know it wasn't your fault, but it was my boss's fault, so please don't say sorry."Well to be honest it was really my fault for forgetting about the ceremony.

Chapter 31- Ceremony PART 2 : Humiliated Elaine’s POVI could feel everyone staring at me as Duke kept pushing the wheelchair, everyone had started whispering around us when we stepped inside the room. I could feel them staring at me only that made my confidence that I felt before we got in vanish instantly. “Elaine, are you feeling alright?” Duke questioned, his voice troubled, as he stopped pushing the wheelchair and glanced at my face."Ye-s, I'm Alright, don't worry about it, so keep going," I said anxiously in a low voice so they couldn't hear us.Duke still glanced at my face with suspicion because he didn't trust what I said "Are you sure? because you look-" Duke didn't finish what he was saying when someone interrupted him."Finally you are here, darling nephew, I thought you wouldn't come to your succession ceremony," Duke's uncle had interrupted."Why would I not come to my own succession when finally I can have my grandfather's company uncle?

Pretend you're not bothered by what they did.I just feigned to smile in front of her "That's okay miss, you didn't mean to do that "I gently stated to her. "But what should I do? "This dress is really costly, and my husband would be upset that I stained it," I continued, concerned.The woman and her three friends laughed at what I said as if I was joking “Oh really that’s expensive? your husband must be blind to think that’s is expensive”One of her friends remarked, concluding that I was lying about my dress being expensive.The woman laughed once again at what her friend had said. "True, and I don't think you have a husband because who would marry and love someone like you who can't
