Bridgerton Books The Duke And I 소설 & 이야기

"Today, you have to answer why you don't like me. What does Duke have that I don't? I have money, wealth, power, a luxurious mansion, expensive cars, bikes, unlimited Bank card, none of which Duke has. Then why are you rejecting me again and again and choosing the bastard Duke over me? I will not lose to that crippled man. That crippled man is only worthy of human sympathy, not your love. You cannot love him. He does not deserve your and your love. I am worthy of your love. I will never let you be his. I will snatch you from him and kill him brutally. Your beautiful body is made only to satisfy my physical desires. I will not let anyone touch it.

He was here and would save her. “I came to find the woman I love and marry her, no matter what anyone thinks.” He threw a glare at the older man. “What is the meaning of this?” An older woman hobbled out of the room. “Who are you, sir, and what makes you think my granddaughter wants to marry you?” Finally remembering his manners, he bowed to the duke and then to Danby’s sister. “My name is Captain Barrington Braxton.” “You are the one responsible for bringing her here on your ship?” the duke asked.

Said the Duchess Sarah's Pov - And now I have understood that the man is actually Rubia's father in the novel and the woman is Rubia's mother, along with the butler Gerome who took care of Rubia when she was young... This place is the Charleston Dukedom. "So, you are the Duke of Charleston...?" asked Sarah "Yes, and this is my wife, your mother the Duchess of Charleston Dear." Answered the Duke Sarah's Pov - The man seemed to have silver hair and blue eyes and the woman had pink hair and green eyes. Honestly, they were down to earth beautiful! But, right now… All I want to do is sleep. I will leave the thinking for after I wake up. If I do. TO BE CONTINUED...

I was the one to come up with those conditions. He sighed. ‘That promise cannot be broken.’ The duke tried to read the paper again, but the image of Magnolia’s scars was too vivid to push away. He frowned. ‘There were so many.’ He wondered how painful they were when they were inflicted on her, and who dared hurt her. Suddenly, Daniel found himself fuming. His lust for killing was fully awake. ‘I would love to rip apart every limb of whoever laid hands on her.’ His hand trembled. “Henry.” He looked at his assistant who stiffened as soon as his eyes met the chilling gaze of the duke. “I need you to take care of something for me.” His voice was frosty and threatening. “Of course, Your Grace.”

After everything I had done, everything that the sisters worked, I thought I had humiliated their loyalty, their efforts wasted. Now, I had to see how to fix this. Bending down, I settled my hands on his shoulders when I heard Father shout, “What is happening here!” I froze from his scream, yet here is where Irvan rose. His face had changed into one of pure pain, “she had tried her hardest to please you, yet no matter what she would do, you still have no heart for my fated mate. It seems the deals to make with our enemies will have to be given back and end our marriage as your parents wished it. But know this means the supper of the Dukes will reside with me. After all, I had found my mate;

He felt intimate somehow. Ian shook his head before he was looking at the invitation that he was asked by the young queen to attend. He was holding his neck before he sighed. It's time for me to take a bride as well, he mused before he was remembering what his best friend, the Duke of Belikov was now happily married to his duchess. Ian sighed before he was shaking his head. He might have to find a bride but he will try to find someone that will not bother his life as much as falling in love with him.

Most of them were what I expected—books on strategy, history, a few on Italian mafia politics. And then, tucked on the bottom shelf, almost hidden— "You weren't kidding about these?" I pulled one out, raising an eyebrow. "Really?" "Put that back." "The Duke's Dangerous Desire," I read aloud, grinning. "A Rake's Redemption. The Highlander's Captive Bride—" "Jameson." Her voice was sharp, but I could hear the embarrassment underneath. "Put them back." "I'm not judging," I said, turning to face her. "I'm just surprised. You kill people for a living, but you read romance novels?"

Then she sighed and looked back at the other nobles. "The eleventh Duke stated in the will that I shall be married in order to be a legitimate successor, is that correct?" she repeated. Everyone looked at one another before confirming it with a nod of their heads. "Indeed, Your Grace," Lord Albert said. "That is what it's said." And just like that, Violet Wintour said something that even her secretary couldn't have predicted. "Then so be it." ~*~

"Her role as your Lord is important: she also needs a successor for the role." "Then, have you found your partner, Lady Elise?" Diana asks. The question caused something that she almost regrets asking. Charles's mood plummeted enough that one small trigger will make him blow out. "There, your answer." Cass gestures at Charles whose mood is at worst state. "That figure is irrelevant for me, as of now. I still have some matters to do, now that my dad had found me." A small chuckle is heard from Sebastian's mouth. "Milady getting a partner? Are you getting soft now?"

Duke Malcom readily agreed to the plan, as he was worried about his daughter's health. However, when Duke Kensington heard this, he found himself reluctant to agree. In fact, if he's given the choice, he would've married her even in this state and transport her back to the Kensington's Estates so he could tend to her himself. The sight of the half-read book placed on the small table beside the bed could only mean one thing, the Prince had been visiting Lady Melissa in secret. Duke Kensington had seen the book in the Prince's study once. There was no mistake in that, what he feared had actually happened. With this knowledge, how could he agree to postpone the wedding? Someone's trying to snat
