The Duke's Redemption Novels & Stories

His fingers brush my jaw, hesitant, like I might disappear if he touches too hard. Then the storm shifts. Low footfalls. Mud squelching. A slow clap. Jake’s eyes snap open. He turns. And Duke steps from the shadows of a half-collapsed neighboring tent — casual, elegant, smug, wearing the aftermath of war like a tailored suit. His long coat is drenched and torn, blood splattered across one sleeve, hair slicked back by the rain. He looks annoyingly beautiful. Deceptively calm. But his eyes— Cold. Silver.

Then, he introduced himself too, “Baltar Rendan, Duke of Cornelius!”

“Winters Corporation has finally stopped pressuring us. Kendry, you better watch yourself. Don’t offend a bigwig like that again.” Duke sat in the living room for a long time. He only realized that the night had passed when the sun rose. He had traveled all the way to Cloud City, but he had been cautious about approaching Addy.

Hours later. "How did you get in here?" My brother asked rising from his bed. "Get on your knees or turn the kingdom over peacefully," I offered. "What is the meaning of this? I would never place MY kingdom in the hands of a two-timing, backstabbing, murderer!" He growled. "PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!" Esmerelda begged. "You're even prettier than I remember," the Duke said caressing her cheek. "DON'T TOUCH HER!" my brother, Edwin ferociously growled trying to attack the Duke. "VINCENT! Look at me! What you are doing is treason! You just know you can stop this. What would your parents think when they return from holiday? Please! Please listen to me!" Esmerelda begged.

Quickly his claws come up, slicing through the soft flesh under its neck where no horns have formed. The beast begins to bay, backing away from Duke. Duke clambers to all four feet and charges the injured beast, sliding on his paws, and coming up under the thing. His teeth sink into the grey flesh and with one shake of his head, rips the throat out and the beast tumbles to the floor.

Duke Essandor had more grey hairs than he did a few months ago. Understanding how much he paled in comparison to the Universe was a cruel blow. Though he didn’t whimper for long, his constant pushing to reach the heights above had taken a toll on him. Currently he was an Above Mortal Realm Wielder. It was good progress in just six months. But the Duke wanted more. For he understood how feeble he was in comparison to the gods. And he wanted to be able to hold his fate in his own hand the next time a storm struck. Alas, this was the next trial and it had come too soon. For he was nowhere near strong enough to stop anything that was happening.

I was the one to come up with those conditions. He sighed. ‘That promise cannot be broken.’ The duke tried to read the paper again, but the image of Magnolia’s scars was too vivid to push away. He frowned. ‘There were so many.’ He wondered how painful they were when they were inflicted on her, and who dared hurt her. Suddenly, Daniel found himself fuming. His lust for killing was fully awake. ‘I would love to rip apart every limb of whoever laid hands on her.’ His hand trembled. “Henry.” He looked at his assistant who stiffened as soon as his eyes met the chilling gaze of the duke. “I need you to take care of something for me.” His voice was frosty and threatening. “Of course, Your Grace.”
