The Duke's Family Is Not My Problem Novels & Stories

"…just don't want to cause trouble for you, Old Duke, and Sister and Heath… but I indeed want him to be severely punished. For my father, for all my family members who died…" "Killing him won't cause any trouble for anyone," said the Old Duke, still in a flat voice. Miriam looked at Harriet. Her eyes wondered what she should do. Last night she had decided to just let them kill Julian, as the Old Duke had said. But she knew there would be many problems that the Duchy of Almandine would have to deal with. It could spread to become a problem in this continent just because of her family. All of her family members had stated that they were grateful to be alive and well and that they had mourned e

“She’s unharmed but the situation is... complicated.” His arm came around her shoulders and Loren found herself pressed against dusty Windrider colours that smelled of horse and leather. It wasn't quite an embrace, more the quiet shelter of someone who didn't know what else to offer. “I’m sorry,” he said, and she couldn’t tell if he was apologizing for the news or for something larger. He stepped back before the moment could be remarked upon. “I need to see the Prince,” the Duke said, his voice returning to clipped formality. “You'd best come. This concerns your family directly.”

His face strained with stress. “Morning,” I said lightly. “Mm.” His answer was clipped, without warmth. I slipped into my robe and moved closer. “Something wrong?” He dropped the tablet on the bed, and my eyes fell on the screen. Headlines blared across it: The Billionaire Step-brothers—Hartwell vs. Blackthorne. A photo from last night froze mid-frame, Adrian holding a glass high in toast while Paul and I stood beside him in the light, caught too still, too uncomfortable.

Oblivious to the world, Irene voiced out, "Shut up, you unruly woman! What's it to you? Aren't they some mere sword tassels? How can I not pay for them!? They might be quite costly for you though. Ever since Duke's death, it is said you have handling the mansion, and the Vougeious family is under decline it is said." This rumour made Seraphine raise one of her eyebrows at its absurdity. Of course, her so-called relatives spared no effort to ruin the name of their family. It went from how the Vougeious siblings aren't able to manage such a huge household to the large amount of deficit. It is said if it went in this direction, the Duchy will face various financial problems.

And still, he had never told me about what exactly transpired in his day. "He was given an ultimatum. To give you up or give the company up. And you know what the asshole said? He said he'd give you up in a heartbeat". My heart sinks to my feet but I stare at him in disbelief as he continues. "He said you had given him so much trouble already and he even recounted a story". His eyes glint in mischief. "Shall I tell you the story?" He asks, the excitement evident in his voice. "Sadly I don't remember how it goes. But I do remember him mentioning something about you having no sense of kinship or family.....". He pretends to think but his words nearly send my legs givin out from under me. "He b

"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?"

Who knew there had been a little bit of trouble? But knowing no one was hurt and seeing that the young man was being apologetic, Mr Sy saw no reason to hold up any grudge against him or his family. Not to mention, Grandpa Sy and Grandpa Grant were close friends and even though no one said it out aloud, Mr Sy knew there might be some kind of marriage alliance that might happen between both families. And he wasn't against the thought of it, Duke was a good and handsome young man from a reputable family. It wouldn't be a problem if Duke would want any of his daughters for marriage.

Miranda, youngest of all, gave a sigh of frustration, "She's right. We do not belong in this sort of life. Imagine our mansion back at Scotland." Monica shook her head, looking at her entire family, then at the empty wooden table, "I will put food on that table tonight and I promise that. Very soon, it's going to be permanent." *** The to-be Duke looked at the massive empire, soon to be his to manage. He was afraid, that he confessed, about if he was going to be efficient or a bag of filth.

“Is that a problem? I didn’t think that I was to be locked in my room for how ever many days, but if it bothers you I’ll stay in there until the trial. Which is when by the way?” “The trial was supposed to take place today, but it has been postponed until tomorrow seeing as I've been busy cleaning up, regaining order within the council.” “What do you mean regaining order?” I ask, annoyed that he’s drawing this out. What the hell is going on? “Duke is dead.” He says without an ounce of emotion. He sounds more irritated than anything else. Just another problem he has to deal with. “What?”

Brown sighed and said, “Meanwhile, Young Master Duke grew up in the Winters family. He naturally became their heir and inherited everything. Now that he’s married you, his life is complete, but his brother is still wandering out there, so he feels guilty. “Madam, the master just feels sorry for his own brother. It’s not that he misses another woman. This is all a misunderstanding. “But please don’t tell anyone about the things I’ve told you tonight. This is the Winters family’s secret. It is not the time to make it public.” Adina pursed her lips. “If Duke’s brother is still alive, he should be twenty-six years old. His heart disease should also be cured. Why don’t they bring him back?”
