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

I don't want to marry your son. "I understand but I realized from my recent visit to the duchy that my father was not handling it well, there was a rampant embezzlement that had started since my grandfather had passed away. I'm not asking to be handed the title of the duke but I hope until a proper heir can be bestowed the title, you would allow me to handle the affairs of the duchy as the acting duke. After all, my father is not of Garrick blood and other than me, none of his heirs are of Garrick blood." I replied. "Lady Audrey, I understand that you are concerned with your duchy's well being but we cannot remove the current duke without any valid reason." Prime Minister Zeno interceded.

"We got Louie, Father. Please don't panic too much. It is just a discussion about the plans for the marriage. It will still take a few months for the grand event to actually happen." "I KNOW!… I know." The Duke had his shaking hand covering half of his face, "But we can't keep fooling the third Prince like this. We can't be caught deceiving a Royal family member, we can be killed for this unforgivable sin." The Duke's son no longer tried to convince him not to lose hope. It was clear that nothing can help the Duke calm down from this stressful situation. After a few more days with no results, it didn't took long for the Duke to fall sick from all the stress and tension he kept building up.

“You seem to overlook one thing. I was the one who kidnapped you.” Chuckling, she shook her head. “But you didn’t, not really.” “In a way, I did.” She flipped her hand in the air. “I’ll explain everything to my family. They’ll understand, I assure you.” “Strange that you have heard the duke is very kind, because I’ve heard the opposite.” He scratched his chin. “Several years ago, I heard he’d banished family members just because they didn’t abide his rules. I also heard that they break ties with their own children for unknown reasons.”

The fact that the Duke and the Duchess were unable to have children always pricked at his heart, but in order to support his wife, he never brought up the subject with Duchess Serena. "Keep your cool, uncle; nothing bad will happen to Dillon. He'll be fine, but where's the doctor when you need him?" The princess was concerned, but she attempted to reassure his uncle. The possibility exists that he is on his way. The Duke let out a sigh. "Calm down, uncle; nothing bad will happen to Dillon. He will be fine, but where's the doctor when we need him?" The princess was concerned, but she attempted to reassure his uncle.

His bride’s outrageous antics provided him with the excuse to do so earlier, and with his father’s blessings. Upon summons of his ailing father Stephen returned to England immediately, although reluctantly. The affairs of his family’s estate were in turmoil and he was required at home to assist. The duke was unwell and his physicians were unable to diagnose the cause of his ever worsening breathing ailment. To add to the upheaval, the overseer, Mr. Eversmith, suffered a tragic fall from his mount while chasing poachers off their land and died from a broken neck. With his father bedridden and the overseer deceased, the lands and management of the estate were in dire need of attention. His mot

He couldn't tell how much love he had for Eva; he didn’t know what she had done to him. “Indeed, his smile was one in a million, “Henry said while watching Brayan exist himself out of the compound. “It's a miracle from heaven, I guess." Duke giggled for a moment, and they were silent. “There's a prospect looming in my mind right now." Duke broke the silence. He thinks they should discuss all of their father's affairs since he left and Brayan isn’t with them right now. He doesn’t want Brayan to be part of their discussion.

"If your son were a decent person, I wouldn't have had to come. What kind of household is this? Is it worth my late-night visit? A century-old noble family produces such a ruthless and unjust scoundrel who indulges his concubines and neglects his wife. Instead of addressing how to correct the family's morals, you're concerned with covering up and indulging him. Your ancestors would be rolling in the grave at how you're behaving!" "Lady Helen!" Dorothy slammed her cane on the ground with a resounding thud. "No matter how lacking our people are, it's not your place to discipline them. Even the current queen wouldn't meddle in our family affairs. Even if my grandson is ignorant, he has been pun

"It's great to love your family, but if they don't know you love what have you done then?" "It's really like talking to Anderson," Carter makes them both laugh. They end the call and Duke stares at the phone again. Stag-We don't have to do this. We can go back to the ballroom hold our mates and fuck them senseless tonight. Duke-How do I touch the she-wolf who killed my Uncle. Stag-Allow me to remind you, we don't have proof. Duke-You and I both know she did this. ...... Duke-Exactly.

I vaguely remembered a tattered woman, but some part of my brain had hidden all the traumatic memories since my parents' death. "Lucy, are you helping me out of pity?" A flicker of hope stirred inside me. Perhaps she could help me rescue my brother and escape Campbell for good. "Oh no," she retorted, her voice laced with indifference. "You are incredibly naive to think I'd go through all this trouble for your sake. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have left the Duke. He would have risked his life to keep you safe." "That's not true, he..." I choked on my words, thinking about how he wanted to kill our child.

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
