Secret Wardrobe Of The Duchess Novels & Stories

Valerie asked suspiciously. "That you'll have fun today," Karen jumped in. "No thinking about work. No checking emails. Just enjoying your gallery and your friends." Valerie wanted to argue that the gallery was work, technically, but she knew what they meant. "Fine. I promise to have fun. Happy now?" "Ecstatic," Sophia said with a grin. "Now let's go see what the Duchess has hidden in her Forbidden gallery." "My security team should be ready downstairs," Valerie said, grabbing her clutch. "Joe texted a few minutes ago."

“Hindi po ako lumabas. These were sent over earlier. Tingnan n’yo po kung magugustuhan n’yo.” Binuksan ni Roberto ang kahon at lumabas mula roon ang isang jade thumb ring na makintab at halatang mamahalin. Samantalang ang kay Marietta naman ay isang set ng blue diamond jewelry, isang kwintas, hikaw, at pulseras na kumikislap sa ilalim ng liwanag. “Oh my!” halos mapatili si Marietta habang tinitingnan ang alahas. “This jewelry is so beautiful, Luna. Mommy loves it! Thank you, anak.”

But instead, anxiety munched her bones. Because Cassian lived and whispers spread, whispers that poison had entered the palace itself, whispers that pointed in too many directions. And if those whispers ever curved toward her… Her hand trembled against the bracelet she toyed with, the pearls clicking softly. Too loud in the quiet. The maid knelt by the hearth, her voice low. “They say the duchess never left his side. That she drew a blade on His Grace when he threatened the captain’s life.” Aria’s head snapped up. “What?”

He rebuked when he sniffed the paper. “Duchess Calliope, woman fluent in eight languages and comes from a noble house situated in the hills of Milena. Her family is notorious for possessing a numerous army. One who may speak to her, agrees to be charmed by her…” He opened the third one. “Lady Diene…” “Baroness Itzel…” “Princess Arlet…” "Lady Seline..." “Duchess Katrina…” He read her seven letters and finally turned to her with a baffled expression on his face.

“ yes you can.’’ I kept my word short as I needed to stop myself from saying anything horrible. she smiles at me before walking deeper into the closet and touching the Blackboard at the end. When she opens it there is a wide range of beautiful gowns and dresses. long classic gowns just like the one I had one at the mating ceremony. “ they're beautiful.’’ I cannot help but say. getting her attention isn't right. She brings her hand over the Fabric of the dresses and she touches it letting it slide downwards. Then right there she pushes a side of one of the middle dresses and presses against the hardwood compartment behind it. there is a knocking sound as if coming from another room connected

She bought it without thinking. After a few more failed attempts, with her mind continuously straying to Alek, she pushed herself off the couch and opened the bottom drawer attached to it. Inside was a folded T-shirt with a quote from the Duchess Series. Beside it were the books she bought for Major T’s wife. Only book one had her face, so she got the paperback and hardback for the lady. Dumping them on her lap, she retrieved a sharpie to write a short note on the inside page and sign.

All three men froze, then scrambled off the bed and out of the room without a single word. Duchess sat up quickly, eyes wide with shock when she saw me. That shock turned into pure terror when Baron stepped in behind me and closed the door with a soft click. “Silas… what are you doing here?” she breathed, hurriedly pulling the silk sheets over her naked body. I walked over to the ornate throne chair beside her bed and sat down, one leg over the other. “Repeat what you said to Billie in that bathroom,” I ordered. Duchess glanced at Baron again, then back at me. Her throat worked.

Maybe I could accept him alone as a brother. I thanked the Duke for buying us three pieces of each. It hurt me to ruin such beautiful cakes. I pouted while eating. “You should see your face. Who gets mad at eating a moon-shaped cake?” Fredden grinned. “Me. I find it a crime to ruin such beautiful shapes. It’s perfect for my eyes. I’ve never tasted something like this. So, mister moth, how come you know about the secret passages in the Duke’s mansion?” The Duke choked on his food. I could swear he was sweating. “I had enough time to explore. You know I can open the doors; it’s a piece of cake for me.”

"Well, yes. That's for a human's perspective. But for us-a noble or a mythical creature as what human history says-it's natural. We can live for millennia and tens and hundreds of it, not aging. We can even enter eternal slumber if we want to. "But that's not always the case. Sometimes, one can enter a force eternal sleep if they committed a crime that is too grave beyond comprehension and the risk being known to the world is high or they took offense to the humankind that we're supposed to take care." -Cassielle Elise D. Dairen, the daughter of the duke, Clyde Estreno D. Dairen. The unknown duchess.
