Why Are You Doing This Duke Novels & Stories

he said dismissively and she must have taken the hint because she muttered a few words under her breath and walked away. "What is it with you David?" the fully suited partial blonde sitting next to him asked. "You've successfully turned down free lap dances and strip teases from multiple ladies tonight and somehow you seem not to be bothered by it. "I see no problem there" he brushed it off, swirling his glass and finally taking a sip from it. "Come on. We're here to have fun" "I'm married Luke, the whole point of it is to remain faithful to my lady" he countered, annoyance in his voice.

Duke Arthur and Beatrice Blanche who was sitting alone in the room were sitting quietly until it was filled with laughter of the Duke. "You are going to be the Grand Duchess of this Empire. You don't have to make a deal with me, do whatever you want!" Arthur shouted full of pride. "You don't even know me, what if I do something that can embarrass your name," Beatrice said shyly. Arthur thought the woman in front of him was very interesting. She was brave enough to make a deal with the Grand Duke while others fainted just standing in front of him but now he saw the lady being shy all of sudden.

She said, looking up at him in painful disbelief. Duke leaned over the doorframe and crossed his hands on his chest. “I don’t give a fuck what you think of yourself. Scram, Minsi. I do not ever wish to see you again.” Duke rasped. Minsi spared him a last glance before picking herself up and starting to walk out of the room with a shattered heart and only searing pain escorting her out.

What was the thing? "Today, you have to answer why you don't like me. What does Duke have that I don't? I have money, wealth, power, a luxurious mansion, expensive cars, bikes, unlimited Bank card, none of which Duke has. Then why are you rejecting me again and again and choosing the bastard Duke over me? I will not lose to that crippled man.

“Wh-what?” “You’re not aware, are you?” Duke asks coldly. “My best friend risked his life to save you last night. He could’ve died, but he wanted to get you out of that factory no matter what. He put his life on the line for you. Just like he’s always done. And how did you repay him?” He turns away and shoves his fingers into his hair; “God, I don’t know why Bhyron keeps doing this.” He whispers to no one in particular.

He caught her hand, kissed her knuckles. "We're not James and you," Duke said. "We never will be. You know why?" "Why?" "Because we actually talk. Even when it turns into a fight about mugs." He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "James never fought with you. Never cared enough to fight. I care so much that your mug opinions drive me insane." "That's either romantic or deeply concerning."

“Take it easy. Deep breath.” “I can’t do it. It’ll break my mom’s heart.” “No, no. Breaking this engagement is a bad idea, Kate.” One of his hands caught her shoulder while the other tilted her chin so their eyes could meet. “You aren’t breaking anyone’s heart. No one has to know that this whole thing is fake. Also, no matter what you say, they’ll assume that I get bored of you. If you want to go through with this revenge, you have to marry me. You have to be the one who tames the wild duke.”

“What is wrong with you! This doesn't make any sense. So what? You'll try to stop me from talking to every guy from now on??” “Talking? You called that talking!” He was fuming, I could actually see his face all flustered red from anger. Why was he so angry! He was supposed to be jealous, and my attempt hadn't even been for him, rather, for the others. Duke hated me the most, so why was he the one most angry at me?? "What the heck, Duke!" I tried to make my voice as deep as possible but my tiny feminine voice betrayed me. "Seriously, that was so rude and uncalled for!"

“Duke, you have to listen to me. I don’t know why I didn’t tell you this last time I guess I was in shock. But what I should have told you is that I am working on taking Lorenzo down from the inside. There are good people in the Romano mafia, and I am trying to find a way to shut it down, so the innocent people don’t get punished. But I am so sorry that I took away something you really worked hard for the last few years.” Duke softly caressed my cheek, “It is okay Vanessa. It doesn’t matter anymore. You see that is just the thing. I have been driven by revenge for the last few years, the Romano family became an obsession for me. Ever since I found out what happened to my sister I have been l

I looked down at my lap, wishing I had pretended to struggle with the choices like a normal person. Once the waiter left, Duke leaned in, his eyes bright with curiosity. “So, tell me about the mess in Luceland with your mother. I have heard the rumors, but I want the full story.” Jeremiah dropped his menu. He leaned over the table, his eyes narrowing at his friend. “Did you drag me out here just to dig for gossip?” Duke let out a dramatic gasp, pressing a hand over his heart. He looked like a wounded actor. “I am offended. I have actual business to discuss, but you are so sensitive today.”
