Novel & Cerita Missi And Duke

Andrew said to Duke, who was watching Sarafina as she entered her house. “I hope she forgives me,” Duke mind-linked Andrew back. “Come on, I know you're not just after receiving her forgiveness. I know how many women you've called cute,” Andrew said, this time not bothering to mind-link Duke; he grabbed Duke's hand and turned him to face him. Duke smiled crookedly. “I find her cute, and there's nothing you can do about it,” Duke declared. “Are you sure about that?” “Watch me, man!”

Far from the noise, it felt like stepping through time—every mile quiet, unpredictable. Mountains, lakes, oceans, old ruins, crowded cities—they all stuck with me. And somewhere along the way, I met Mira Mendoza. Gentle. Strong. Like morning light. Her smile hit like a warm spring breeze, clearing out the last of the gloom in me. She was sharp. Effortless. I was all in before I knew it. I knew—she was the one I wanted for the rest of my life. *** I flew back. I missed home—and I already missed Mira.

Only Tessa had a straight face when our eyes met she gave me a look of understanding, I smiled back hoping she understood I really appreciated the support. She was aware of the history between us as I and Dante were quite a popular pair back in high school. Although I wasn't part of the popular kids, Jake was, he was the captain of the football team, had straight A’s. He was voted the prom king back then and Tessa the prom queen. Jake was the town sweetheart basically voted most likely to succeed and make it in the big city.

He looked nothing like the man he was last night. "Don't accept such jobs in the future. Come with me, and you don't have to worry about money anymore," Zack said in a low voice as he looked at me. I thought everything he did stemmed from the pathetic controlling nature and possessiveness found in most men, but I did actually need the money. Playing along with him was much easier than playing along with a bunch of men, after all. He was quite handsome, too. "Let's sign a contract, then. Our relationship will be purely bound by contract, and it should not have any feelings involved. I'm charging 50 thousand dollars per month, and every time we… do the deed, I'll charge another 20 thousand dol

“The owner of Kingzillion Casino has a girlfriend now? And she’s so gorgeous!” “Is this what they call a perfect match? Look at their jawlines, they’re so similar! And she’s not short, either. If only we could see what’s under that mask… They might just be a golden couple!” “Oh my god, take pictures, quick!” ... An uncle and niece being mistaken for lovers? That was truly something. Neither Vincent nor Ivanka showed any intention of clearing up the misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Ivanka noticed Michael, who had come earlier than them. She had not expected to see him here. What was he doing here?

His reaction was far too extreme. "Uh, I mean…" Robert quickly forced a smile. "How strange. Selene loves the Duke so much, after all." But Vivian's sharp gaze made him visibly uncomfortable. Vivian crossed her legs, her face etched with a triumphant glow. "Perhaps Selene has finally realized… that the Duke and I are inseparable. She finally knows her place." Dorothy clapped her hands together. "Splendid! That means your path is finally clear." "But the Duke refused to discuss it," Vivian added casually. "He only said Selene was talking nonsense because of her miscarriage."

“Did he ever tell you what was in the fine print?” Duke’s chair scraped back sharply. “Enough, Ms. Harper! I just agreed to meet you to talk about how we can end the merger between my company and yours. Your sister and family keep pestering what I've built, and I can't tolerate that any longer!" But Eliza didn’t flinch. She thrived on the tension, feeding off the way Duke’s jaw tightened, the way Celine’s breath hitched. “Oh, come on,” Eliza murmured, swirling her wine. “It’s not a crime to be curious. Some women marry for love. Others… well, they sign for convenience. Isn’t that right, Duke?”

Cassie faked a cough, which made Duke Kian notice them. “Oh, ladies. You’re all gorgeous.” He said, looking at them. He wouldn’t even recognize them if Cassie didn’t do that. “Duke Winston, it seems like you’re staring at Lady Anastasia that long. Be careful, she might melt,” Liliane said. Duke Kian just looked at them. “It’s indeed her beauty that can mesmerize me,” he uttered. After that, he drank the champagne in his glass. “Alright?” Cassie said. “I’ll have to go, I still need to talk to someone,” Duke Kian said.

Duke lunged to catch the nearest glass, spilling half onto the floor. “Seriously?” Luke groaned, wiping champagne from his notes. “We’ve literally just finished an app launch, and you’re turning my office into a war zone?” “You’re welcome,” Duke said, proudly surveying the mess. “I call it abstract celebration art.” Kyle laughed, shaking his head. “This is just the warm-up. Tonight, boys, we hit the club. Drinks, music, women… and maybe some payback.” He cast a mischievous look at Dru and Luke.
