The Grand Duchess Escape Novels & Stories

ZARA **Warning episode containing memories about abuse and rape.** We had been running the whole day after we early left Alpha Chase's pack. Grandpa wanted to put as much distance between the Alpha and us. When it gets dark, grandpa finds a safe place to sleep for the night. He found a small cave hidden behind a waterfall that ran into a small lake.

The word escaped her lips before she could stop it. "You're leaving," Leonardo repeated. He walked to the window and looked out at the city below. "My grandmother made me an offer I couldn't refuse. In exchange for certain... business arrangements, I agreed to release you." Sophia's heart was pounding so hard she could hear it in her ears. "You're letting me go?" "Don't sound so surprised. I'm a businessman, Sophia. Every prisoner has a price. Yours just happened to be higher than most."

Jake replied as the two hurried away taking quick strides. Huh? The men in black noticed the two leaving suspiciously. "You two," the leader said and pointed to the couple leaving with a signal. "Get them!" . Outside Jake's Mansion, Mark Norman's car was parked and he was having a telephonic conversation. "Your Majesty, we nearly apprehended the Princess, but there was a man with her. He escaped with her." "Norman, what are you telling me? You found the Princess and let her escape?" "Your Majesty, we had just arrived on the boats-"

​"And Tasha's escape?" ​"Tasha's escape was the final payment for the truth," Damian stated. "I gave her the access codes to the lower security transport vehicle, ensuring she could make a clean break from the country. She sold out Declan and the full complexity of Grandpa Richard's scheme. I paid her with a plane ticket and a clean slate." ​I looked at him, the depth of the corporate chess match stunning me. Every move, every confession, every act of apparent chaos had been orchestrated to ensure the final security of Richard Holdings under a unified command. He had risked his integrity, and my trust, to win.

Then she leaned over close to Claire's ear and whispered, "Let's make this silly adventure less torturing, shall we? Pick whatever the hell you want, so I can get out of here already.” Claire frowned. Before she could say a word, the store manager reappeared before them. He smiled brightly. “Your Grace, may I have the honor to assist you myself?” “Sure,” the Duchess said. “What are the hidden gems you have here? Show us.” “Oh my, that’s a hard question, your Grace,” he said with a chuckle. “But I expected that you would be wondering so. So I prepared a special room for your private viewing. Only a select few have been there. Would you mind following me?”

"You just escaped from the Louvre." Fleeing the men's room, they moved into the shadows just as Romano rushed past. Now, with the fire alarm silenced, Jim could hear the sounds of judicial police sirens tearing away from the Louvre. A police exodus. Romano had hurried off as well, leaving the Grand Gallery deserted. "There's an emergency stairwell about fifty meters back into the Grand Gallery," Sophie said. "Now that the guards are leaving the perimeter, we can get out of here." Jim decided not to say another word all evening. Sophie McEwan was clearly a hell of a lot smarter than he was.

It was good for her since she liked to drink coffee more than anything else, especially as she only worked almost all day long. “Of course, every type is available,” Alexander added with a smirk. “I cannot possibly refuse such an invitation,” she said with a smile. Alexander led the young duchess and her guard to the duke’s residence. He noticed her steps were elegant and very shallow, as if she did not trust even the ground. And the ruby eyes with two black marks in the middle were fixed on his moves as if she did not want to miss even the slight movement. “Duke, Young Duchess, what a pleasant sight!” Cornelius exclaimed as he ran towards them the moment he noticed them. To his surprise, th

Valerie asked suspiciously. "That you'll have fun today," Karen jumped in. "No thinking about work. No checking emails. Just enjoying your gallery and your friends." Valerie wanted to argue that the gallery was work, technically, but she knew what they meant. "Fine. I promise to have fun. Happy now?" "Ecstatic," Sophia said with a grin. "Now let's go see what the Duchess has hidden in her Forbidden gallery." "My security team should be ready downstairs," Valerie said, grabbing her clutch. "Joe texted a few minutes ago."

She called out, and I nodded with understanding. “It must have been crazy though,” I said with a small knit of my eyebrows. “Oh, you know the good ol’ fashion runways. But as always, your girl nailed it. Did you by any chance get to watch it?” She smiled from ear to ear, and I pursed my lips before shaking my head no. “Urgh. You are infuriating. But, you are lucky I saved the good ones for you. I am going to send them later. But right now, let’s talk about our plans with the Archduchess of Fairefax.”

To keep herself with me. "Please," I begged her in a mournful voice. "Don't leave me." Vale raised her other bloodied hand to my cheek. I grabbed it in mine and kissed her palm. No one spoke for a long moment. I looked up at Trotsky and the Alpha. They stood frozen like statues. In a distance, I heard the siren. A loud blast shook the whole earth. White plaster cracked from the ceiling. One of our men rushed in with a report. "Grand Duchess! The German undead army is coming," he said.
