Novel & Cerita The Fallen Duke And The Knight Who Hated Him Novel

Their budding connection now seemed fragile, suspended in the uncertain space between duty and desire. With each passing step, Ava's thoughts wandered to the man she was meant to marry—the Duke of Cambridge. Whispers of his reputation seeped into her consciousness, casting a foreboding shadow over her heart. Rumors swirled about his cruel nature, his dark past, and a chilling tale of his involvement in his wife's demise. The stories painted the Duke as a figure shrouded in darkness, an enigma lurking within the grand halls of his ancestral estate.

Don’t even get her started on the ongoing bagel purchase. So between her and him, they clearly weren’t enemies. But did that make them friends? Allies? Maybe something… more? No. The bottom line was he was a duke and she was a huntress. The last time a pairing like this happened, the huntress ended up dead - not that Sush disagreed with the outcome - and the duke ended up angry, betrayed and heartbroken. There was no way he’d let it happen again. And there was no way she’d choose him over executing the plan she’d kept to herself for years.

“I hate him for that.” Harry stayed quiet for a while before speaking again. “This is the time to beat him at his own game.” I frowned slightly and looked at him properly. There was something calculated in his eyes. “You are beautiful, Ann. Men like Duke always come back when they realise they no longer have control.” He leaned back slowly. “We position you back into his life. We make him obsessed again. Then we destroy him the same way he destroyed you.” I almost laughed. “What makes you think Duke will fall for me again?”

Nothing seemed to be going as planned for him. Cedric didn't really care much about his father's death and he certainly didn't want to be Duke. it meant responsibilities and Cedric wasn't sure he was cut out for it, especially since he'd not thought about being Duke for years. He liked living his life on his own terms and he sure as hell didn't want to move back to Haerton Castle, but now it seemed like he didn't have a choice. The memories of being back at the castle were not pleasant ones and just being back there made him feel sick.

"It's enough,please stop and I'm tired of this your charade, aren't you tired? I'm fed up with it please." " Someone is trying to kill me Michael,I'm not lying."I said faintly.He scoffed" Sandra after you pretended to be sick before.what's this performance for again?.why are you desperate for attention? Annabel is your best friend,and you are Mrs Raymond now.Will you only be satisfied when she's dead?". His scornful and harmful words are comparable to the biting cold. As the blood pooled under me staining my wedding gown, I knew instantly that my end was near.

His reaction was far too extreme. "Uh, I mean…" Robert quickly forced a smile. "How strange. Selene loves the Duke so much, after all." But Vivian's sharp gaze made him visibly uncomfortable. Vivian crossed her legs, her face etched with a triumphant glow. "Perhaps Selene has finally realized… that the Duke and I are inseparable. She finally knows her place." Dorothy clapped her hands together. "Splendid! That means your path is finally clear." "But the Duke refused to discuss it," Vivian added casually. "He only said Selene was talking nonsense because of her miscarriage."

--- Seraphina's POV "Your Highness, more news from the capital." My head housekeeper delivered the report in my sun-drenched seaside villa. "Duke Alistair and his son are dead. They say it was the backlash from a dark ritual." I sat in a white wicker chair, the sea breeze soft on my face. My cheeks were rosy. My body was healthy. It was as if I had never been sick at all. When my heart had stopped, I thought I would go straight to heaven.

The fight was still happening passionately as the soldiers of Ducroft were pushing against the soldiers of the Empire. The Grand Duke was resting against a tree, impaled in several parts by poisoned spikes. It was the basilisk’s poison that was easier for her to spot first but then there were a myriad of other poisons. It was no wonder he wasn’t able to survive for long. If the soldiers of the Empire pushed past the boundary, none of them would be able to survive.

She despised it with every fiber of her being. “Do not dare test my patience, Dominic Windsor,” the grand duke hissed, his icy presence chilling the very air. The room fell silent as a bone-chilling aura engulfed all. Trembling with fear, they watched as the duke’s iron grip tightened around her, leaving her no choice but to sink her teeth into his flesh with all her might. Blood spilled and, fueled by desperation, she broke free, sprinting towards the knights of Adelstein. “Bravo, child,” the grand duke of Adelstein praised, his voice filled with praises.
