someone else added incredulously. Many people now looked at Marcus and Ryan with open schadenfreude. Marcus was still on the ground, clutching his bleeding mouth, while Ryan groaned softly from where the bodyguards had left him. "I thought it was strange," announced Lord Pemberton loudly enough for everyone to hear. "The Duke clearly raised these men as future husbands for Miss Blackwood from childhood. How could the bride suddenly be someone else? Turns out some people got greedy." "Unwilling to give up the Blackwood family wealth but wanting to be with their little lover," added his wife with disgust. "The moment her mother died, they couldn't wait to let a servant step all over their mist

"What's going on?" Lucien smiled dryly. "Ask your Duke." The Duke strode in, removing his coat, his gaze never leaving Lucien. "We have matters to discuss. Privately." Victoria refused to move. "No more secrets. Either speak freely or not at all." Lucien raised a brow. "She’s got more fire than you let on." The Duke sighed, brushing his fingers through his hair. "Lucien is here on... unofficial matters. There are complications with Lord Thomas."

I say, my voice quivering as the rage and adrenaline faded. "I won't let that happen again." "He said he was your family. Is it true?" He nodded once. "I hate to admit it, but he was. But unlike him, we didn't think twice about his bloodline, if you will. He seemed to have taken out his insecurities on poor Hope." "What do you mean? He's a bastard son, too?" Caelum nodded again and laughed darkly. "My great grandfather and his grandfather were cousins. The late Duke was a gentle soul, even when he does tend to sleep around. Granted he only did that after the Duchess passed," Caelum said as we stopped in front of a painting.

It seems that Duke Blanche is not respectable as the rumors say. I only accepted this marriage to shut up those old geezers in the family. I chose Beatrice to keep an eye on the Blanche family but it seems that they are throwing away their daughter. Well, that was all my assumption. As I opened the door where I should wait for the bride, I saw Charles looking around the room seriously. "What are you doing?" I asked curiously. "Just checking around to check if there is something suspicious. It's better to be safe, you know Duke Blanche's personality," he said and I sighed.

His loyalty to me was still unquestionable. "Huh," he muttered under his breath. "What about her?" I asked not paying attention to his response. "You need to go and claim her now." He said loudly. I huffed in a mocking way then stood up and moved to my huge desk ignoring him. "Ducan don't ignore me!. You really should go and claim her. She's at a marriageable age and she grew up well for a bride. Also, her mother hates and hits her." He said. "We have more pressing matters to attend to, you know?. Like killing all heroes that search for our kingdom's entrance." I pointed out.

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

Ace said more like threatened him. "Grandfather wants an heir" Duke said "That's why you sent your sample to the hospital." Ace said "I didn't expect them try to mess with it. Luckily Max destroyed it before it fall in their hands" Duke said. "Duke don't take this risk. Why don't you have a girlfriend?" Ace asked Duke who smiled hearing this "The person who said girlfriend and marriage is waste of time" Duke smirked at Ace. "Don't worry about me." Ace was about to say something when Duke's phone started ringing.

as if my heart was cold, and I really started to think that it was a kind of family curse, a price we used to pay for being at the top of the modern social classes. _You will learn to love your wife, in time.... _Did that happen to you and mom? _Of course, love is a matter of time, nothing else, the rest is just lies. _Said my father as he took a sip of his expensive whisky. _Besides, I don't think you'll have much trouble falling in love with the Dimou's daughter. _Mackenzie Dimou was an associate of my father's, they had done business together and both had built in Italy and Greece. _She's a real doll, better than a miss, tall, blonde, and beautiful.

"Do you think you will be able to sneak around those boys, Duke especially, without them knowing what you and I are doing?" I removed my hand from his without being rough. "Firstly, I don't have to sneak around them. I am an adult and I can do whatever I want and secondly, the Cavannagh brothers are my problem to handle. I can take care of myself. Thank you." He smiled and nodded his head. "I'll be on my way then. My card is in the bag. Be sure to call me." I nodded my head in response and walked back to my table. Duke had been staring at us all this while with a pensive look on his face.
