Novel & Cerita Annabelle Dukes

Annabelle and me. Moments later, the door swung open, and Dr. Annabelle stepped inside, her white coat draped over her arm. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of professionalism and familiarity, and her warm smile greeted me before she even said a word. I stood up, embracing her tightly, feeling the comfort of her presence wash over me. It was as if her touch held a certain magic, easing any worries or fears that might have lingered within me.

A smile played about her full lips until Kate had wanted to scream. “How much does he pay you to play the doting wife?” Paris continued, tilting her gorgeous head to one side as she looked up to meet Kate’s blue eyes. “Five million GBP? Ten?” Without waiting for Kate's reply, she continued, “Did he also ask you to carry his child? I mean, he has a duty to his family to have a son, as I’m sure you know. He’s royalty after all. Someone must ensure that the Duke title stays in the family.” She gave Kate a once over and slowly nodded. “Yes, I can see how you can be of use for that.” Then a dangerous smile formed on her painted lips. “Or maybe he still thinks about me.”

the board had voted her out of the business. So not only did she lose her parents, she lost her dream job, and her father legacy essentially his third child. He had built that company from the ground up, from the start up in their garage to the number one business in Seattle. Everyone in the business world had wishes to work there if they were to make a name for themselves. As of now though there was nothing she could do about it. Now for the last week she has been getting up at dawn and started looking for jobs. Every interview she did went well but she was always too experienced for what the company was looking for. This company was her last resort and it was for a position she could chok

The next day I woke up, I am now the fiance of the Demon Duke in the Kingdom of Franche-Comte, a kingdom that believes in religion, however, it has a Demon Lord living among its people, Duke of Dubois Castle, or known as Lemon. He holds my hand tight and trails kisses to my pulse, ever since I have known that this man is a Demon who saved my life with the contract of fulfilling his desire, he frequents my room almost every night. “It is not money, and not my title as the countess, also you said that it is not my soul, what is it that you desire Duke?” he paused and those jewel red eyes looked at me intently, he climbed onto my bed and even closed the distance between us. I could feel the war

For a moment, there was silence and then I loosened my grip. Her shaky breath was mixed with the stark silence that plagued the room. She realized I was getting impatient and decided to talk. “My name is Annabel from Spring pack. Please, do not hurt me,” she pleaded with her hands cupped together like she was praying to some gods. Her words seemed to make my world collapse, the weight of them crashing down like a tidal wave. I stared at her, in anticipation for any sign of the woman I love, but all I see is the cold, calculating soul that has taken her place.

When Annabelle woke up, she saw Evelyn Presley, her mother in-law and a slender beautiful lady. Annabelle was disappointed that she was still alive. She thought she'd died. There was nothing to live for, why didn't they let her die. Seeing Evelyn doesn't make things better. This woman has always hated her and made her life a living hell.

I’d spent my whole life training to be a ballerina, and for all the life skills that had netted me, this was a big hole in my education. Annabelle rushed into the room to get changed, as she frequently did on Friday evenings. Her job at the bookstore went until a little later than usual given the weekend kids programs that they ran through the summer, and her job bartending at Gabby’s started slightly earlier to deal with how busy it got on Friday nights. She clucked her tongue when she saw me in bed again. “You should come over to Gabby’s tonight,” she told me as she dug through her closet for something to wear.

“Darling, stop this madness! I already found you a notable suitor who will make you become the most powerful duchess in the country.” “Spare me that, mom. The Duke isn't someone we can get our hands on, despite how wealthy we are! I just found out about him, he is never interested in a woman. Some even suspect that he's gay. Do you think such a man will be attracted to me? We need to get rid of her pregnancy, mom. Getting pregnant before marriage is wrong, and you know that!” “Okay, okay, if that will make you happy, I'll do just that.”

Then I heard soft steps. The door creaked, and a voice like velvet dipped in light cut the silence. “Those are yours?” I turned quickly. She was tall for her age, maybe seventeen, with soft blue eyes and dark hair pulled back in a ponytail. Her skin had that pale golden glow that said she’d come from privilege, but her voice was warm. Open. “I didn’t mean to intrude,” She said gently. “It’s okay,” I managed. She stepped closer and offered a hand, smiling softly. “Camille. Bukky’s daughter. I know you're Annabelle.”

A man in a tuxedo walked onto the stage and under the spotlight announced the official opening of the auction. My attention was immediately caught. Although I didn't have the money to participate in the auction, I couldn't help but look forward to it. The door to the private room was pushed open and Ario instinctively put me behind him, but then relaxed when he saw that it was the Duke. The Duke looked tired, and as soon as he returned, he sat down on the sofa and rubbed his temples with his fingers. "Father, just now Ulysses Woodrow came..." The Duke sat up straight and looked at me worriedly: "He saw Inette?"
