Adopted By A Murderous Duke Family

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!

After My Family Was Destroyed by a Phoenix Man, I Was Reborn

My husband and I sponsored Zhou Chongwen for eight years. I never thought I would nurture a murderer who would destroy my entire family! Eight years ago, my daughter fell seriously ill, and after many hardships, we finally saved her life. My husband and I decided to sponsor a child from a poor family, as a way to thank the heavens for not letting us lose our only daughter. Zhou Chongwen studied hard and was grateful, insisting on coming to our city for high school. I pitied him for being far from his parents and invited him to live in our home. I never expected to invite a wolf into the house, as he set his sights on my daughter. It wasn't until he and An'an were admitted to the same university and she gave birth in the dormitory during her studies that I learned they had been in a relationship since high school. But I didn't know this disaster was just beginning. My daughter couldn't stay at school and withdrew voluntarily, but under Zhou Chongwen's instigation, she blamed her parents for all the wrongs. They were married for less than a year before my husband died in an accident. Unable to bear the blow, I fell gravely ill. Yet, Zhou Chongwen openly moved his entire family into our villa. His parents were even more demanding, and my daughter couldn't endure their torment. After witnessing Zhou Chongwen bringing a woman home, she was so overwhelmed that she lost her mind. From then on, Zhou Chongwen's family achieved a leap in social class, while my family was ruined because of him. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day my husband and I were going to the school to select a recipient for our sponsorship.

Making The Duke Mine

Her slender finger began tracing his facial features as she spoke, "My desire to make you mine," Her finger moved towards his plump lips as she sensually caressed them under her thumb, wondering how they would feel on hers. Will it be as mind-blowing as she had always imagined it to be? "Is still as solid as a rock, but...." She suddenly stopped her movement and stepped away from him. He frowned. When did she become so bold to touch him like that? He knew her for being timid and naive. Yes, he knew the girl fancied him a lot, but she had never dared to act on her feelings. Did he like it? Yes! And he was ready to see how far she could go in her game, so before she could take another step away from him, he brought her back to her previous position. Maybe closer than before. Oh, how he wanted to feel those round breasts on his body and run his hands along those delicious-looking curves, but he held himself back. Susan wasn't his regular woman. He could still feel the fierce innocence in those hazel eyes despite how daring she presented herself. It was her innocence that sent him running for his life. He couldn't trap her in his darkness- the darkness she was begging to be part of. To distract himself from throwing her into the bed and satisfying his demons, he repeated her last word as he was curious to know her mind, "But?" "But I won't force you this time around...." Lady Susan, a determined and charming lady sets her sights on the most notorious of them all: Duke Edmund. Renowned for his debauchery and immoral exploits, the Duke had long been considered off-limits to the fairer sex. But Susan, with her mind made up, is not one to be deterred. With a fierce unwavering resolve, she embarks on a mission to tame the Duke, to make him hers and hers alone. But as she navigates the treacherous landscape, she begins to realise that the Duke’s wicked reputation may be more than just a facade. As the battle of wills between them intensifies, Lady Susan finds herself drawn into a world of passion, seduction, and danger. As they surrender to their forbidden passion, the flames of desire burn brighter with every glance, every touch, and every stolen moment, but will her resolve be strong enough to overcome the Duke’s defences, or will she become the latest conquest in his long list of scandals? Making the Duke Mine is a tantalizing tale of love, redemption, and the power of true devotion.
