Bridgerton: The Duke And I Novels & Stories

A simple silver chain with two interlocked hearts. "One for you, one for me," Duke explained. "Forever linked. Like us." "Duke, it's beautiful." Valentina's eyes filled with tears. "Help me put it on?" He fastened the clasp, kissed her neck. "I love you, Mrs. Morrison." "I love you too, Mr. Morrison." "Want to know what else I love?" Duke's hand slid to her thigh. "The fact that the kids just left for the day. Something about giving us space."

he said and I sighed. "Don't worry, they won't do that. They won't like to be embarrassed at the party after being caught by me of all people" I replied. "Well that's true, the Duke is not that stupid. I should go, it's around time the future duchess will arrive" He said after checking his pocket watch. I nodded at him and he left. After a few minutes, Beatrice arrived and I was speechless. She looked so stunning that people who believed she was the ugly duckling felt stupid. "Greetings to the Grand Duke Lionel"

They whisper their names to him, and his eyes widen--- "DUKE MARKO!" "DUCHESS ANTIONETTE!" "LADY MARIONETTE!" The royal announcer says the names loudly that echoes in the wall of the hall area while he trembles, making an awkward smile. "The Duke and Duchess are here with their dazzling daughter, Your Highness," Minister puts his hand on his chin, staring daggers to Lady Marionette. Then he smirks to himself, thinking Lady Marionette is a perfect match to the Prince appearance-wise.

"I said, His Highness is free before nine." "Damn you, Abby! I've told you I don't want to meet any lord or duke or whoever with the title." Edvard scowled. He had plenty of noble fathers who wanted to play matchmaker, matchmaking their daughters and him. Like they were selling their daughters. "Lord Silverstone doesn't have any daughter, Your Highness." Said Abigail calmly. Twenty years being Edvard's personal assistant, she knew him inside out. She didn't hesitate to make physical contact, like she did earlier, forcing him back to sit. But she never left the honorific behind whenever she talked to him.

the man said while huffing his pipe. A blond haired man leaned down at to get a fleeting glance of white hair, which disappeared into the door below. "That.... she is Miss Eloise Ayles, her father Harem Ayles a small viscount passed away recently so they are moving to their mother's home town in your duchy. What you don't know about that? What kind of a Duke are you, huh?" he jokingly said. "hmmm, she seems silly," he whispered, blowing out a cloud of smoke.

It was one of those ones he has been giving her since tonight. The man beside him turned and she almost made a loud sound. He was the man from earlier, the angry one under her window. She saw the surprise in his face too but it quickly vanished. The man before her is entirely different from earlier now that she's seeing him in the light. Instead of black that she thought he's putting on earlier, he's wearing a navy blue tux. His face is perfectly sculptured like those men she sees In magazines. "Cassandra, This is Sebastian Spenser, Sebastian, this is Cassandra" Her father introduced.

"Amelia, I tried my best so if he dies it has nothing to do with us!" In the Luxury car, "Master, about Miss Elsher?" Delano spoke up. "Prepare the marriage Certificate and find out everything about her" He ordered coldly. "About the Marriage?" Delano still hesitated to speak. "Just go through it, after everything is done she will leave" Logan Gunner looked outside. "Yes Master!" Delano didn't ask another question and allowed things to be the way the are. It's all part of the plan, of course they didn't plan to involve Amelia Elsher but let's say it's her bad luck.

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...

Here we go… Once our plates are loaded, I follow Enzi to his table, ignoring the stunned looks of the pack members present this morning. Veronica wraps me in another hug. "Good morning, Alyssa. How did you sleep?" the Duke asks as I take a seat. "Good, thank you.." I leave my sentence hanging as I realize I'm still not sure what I am supposed to call him. In my head, I've been referring to him as simply the Duke. "Adrian Castillo, Duke of Castillion. Call me Adrian," he smiles, and I hear almost every female in the room sigh. With his classic dashing looks and fancy title, he's definitely swoon-worthy.

Otherwise, the little firecracker would roast his balls and eat them for breakfast. He swears he’s not obsessed with her. He talks to her like trash. But I know obsession when I see it. Because I’m equally obsessed with a female that’s about to make me lose my mind. No wonder they’re best friends. I barely get my thoughts in check when my cell phone rings again. Duke. “Talk to me.” “You won’t believe where they are.” I can hear the anger in his tone. This can’t be good. “Tell me.” “Two words. Sinful Decadence.”
