The Duke And I Novels & Stories

Bonnie led her to the big double doors of the Duke’s office and then pushed them open, ushering her inside. The Duke himself was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the city. It was the most magnificent view, though it wasn’t the view that immediately drew the eye. How could a mere view compete with the man who stood there as if he owned it? Dressed in a dark charcoal suit that highlighted the width of his powerful shoulders and lean waist, he was a commanding, magnetic presence as he talked on the phone to someone. That deep, rich, melted-chocolate voice filled the room, whispering over her skin and making her shiver.

“…If she gets close to me by chance, I’ll be force to separate you from her.” He threatened his wife. “If we aren’t welcome, we may as well leave your house and go back to where we came from.” She replied boldly. “And you think I’ll allow you to go that easily?…You’re my wife and whatever I say stands.

“Oh really? That stunning woman’s your ex? What happened? Did you break her heart—or did she shatter yours?” “Shut up, kid. That’s all ancient history,” Duke snapped, standing up abruptly. He nodded politely and muttered something about having to step out, then left the room. 10:15 A.M. | Ingrid’s Café, Ground Floor The scent of espresso and cinnamon filled the air as Duke pushed through the glass doors of Ingrid’s café. He wasn't supposed to be here. He had meetings, reports, and a dozen decisions to make. But the moment he heard Selene's name, something cracked inside him—and suddenly, he needed a distraction.

The day I learned the truth about my husband, Duke Alistair, and his adopted sister, Liana, I left. I abandoned my title, my home, and returned to my father's palace. A year passed. Then came news of chaos in the duchy. The servant Alistair sent spoke with desperation, “Your Highness, the Duke and your son are lost to reason. If you don’t return, I fear they will burn everything to the ground.” I looked at the blood I'd coughed onto my handkerchief. I nodded.

My family was the most famous line of witches at the royal court. My sister, Lilith Seyler, was famous for her lofty principles. I was the only one who knew she was a complete fraud. When the royal marriage decree arrived at House Seyler, she shut herself in her prayer room out in the woods and refused to come out. "Duke Edmund, your wealth and your power are dust to me. A proposal from a duke is no different than a proposal from a farmhand." Then she laid out three conditions for Duke Edmund. The Duke was to build a prayer room on his estate, since she needed quiet meditation and practice with the elements to keep her magic stable. Before the wedding, the Duke was to wash in mountain spring

He cried. "If the goodness I was showing you wasn't enough for you, then nothing will ever be enough for you, I don't need selfish people in my empire, and if you say a word again, I promise you will wake up to find yourself in hell." Mr Dave said. "Guard!" He shouted. "Go bring duke Kingston to me immediately." He ordered. * Duke Kingston was having a wine with his wife lady Arizona. "He thought he will disgrace us in public and them go away with it like nothing happened, now I'm sure not only will he lose the deal but the respect of the British as well." Duke Kingston said.

The movie playing on the tv was some classic old comics, both Richard and Anna sat beside each other while they told stories of how they met. They both seem to be having the fun of their lives but not me. Killian was giving me a really hard time after telling me he would be here sooner and not preparing me to meet the people that I met. I don’t even know who they are to meet and I’m just to supposed to sit and smile at them like a fucking doll. “I think he's here mama” Duke says excitedly as he jumps up almost immediately. I looked right over to the girl and I could see the way her face lit up just by the mention of Killian being back but before I could even say another word Killian walked i

“I am grateful, Sir.” “The pleasure is all mine.” “Sir, please I need you to understand that this will not be my motivation depending on whatever my response turns out to be.” Dominic clarified. Duke chuckled. “I was not expecting it to be. Don’t worry, it is not a bribe. Your service was smooth and enjoyable.” “Thank you.” “Shall we?” Duke rose to his feet and Dominic did the same. Both men almost matched heights at around six feet but Dominic was slightly taller at six foot one.

Amanda asked as if the girl's portrait could speak. The dust seems to have settled on the furniture of the rooms in the Duke Gramer residence. Amanda looked around the room and stopped at the window overlooking the garden to see Duke Gramer sitting on a bench frozen. 'He lost his only child, a daughter, and now his wife. How sad. It seems the Duke doesn't care about the mansion and its servants either.' Illarion was seen approaching the old man. While watching from a distance, Amanda muttered, “He respects the Duke so much. How did he treat his wife before?”

"Duke doesn't like men who hurt women. You could say it's a line that, when crossed, has him committing murder. He just got out of prison for the second time. He'll have no problem pretending your head is a pumpkin and leaving it in pieces before we go." Miles's face turns the color of boiling lobster. "I can't breathe," he gasps in a strangled voice. You would think Duke had him by the throat. "Good," Dax replies, his smile still in place. "Your smashed head won't hurt so bad if you pass out first. Knowing Duke here, though, he'll wake you up before he caves in your skull." "Please." His eyes scramble around the room looking for help that isn't there. "They never came back. Went on a call a
