Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"She is not there! Someone might have kidnapped her!" After a moment of silence the whole place uproared!

While the face of Duke William turned Ashen, Leo's face turned colder.

"Hurry up, father, let's close all the doors! There is such high security, there is no way that she could be taken out from the church!" as if finally coming back to his senses, William nodded and called the knights instantly.

The whole place turned upside down and each carriage was thoroughly checked!

Even the rooms that were booked for the family of the duke were checked!

Olivia, who was staring at the whole scene, chuckled when her eyes fell on Leo who was standing like a statue.

He had not moved from his place at all. Many of his knights were worried that he could not handle the shock and went to talk to him but his cold aura was so strong that they could not reach closer to him.

A layer of frost has covered his whole face. While everyone else was running like a madman to find the girl, thinking she had met with adversity or an enemy had taken her away, Leo did not take any initiative to look for her.

Under the chaos and disorder, he simply walked out from there into the room assigned to the bride.

As he opened the door, the room still had her lingering smell left. He took a deep breath as if he was cherishing the small warmth left by her and sighed.

A look of pain and disappointment filled his eyes but there was no regret in it when he heard the footsteps approaching.

"I am glad that you made the right decision! I hope everything continues as I planned!" he closed his eyes without turning back and took a deep breath!

"Why in the world are you doing this, Olivia!" his voice was frail, as if he would break about just by her touch!

He had never seen the man getting so vulnerable before. For her, he was a strong wall that could neve break, but now he was looking just like another human!

"So you are not as perfect as i thought you to be!" she chuckled as if she had heard a great joke when a frown formed on his face.

"Just take it as, I am tired of not being in love while chasing you all my life. Now I want others to chase me!" the smile on her face disappeared and her gaze turned darker,

"You know what you have to do now, right?" his gaze flickered as he nodded and walked into the room while the door was left open!

She continued to stare at the opened door for a while before bracing her heart. Her face was looking worn out yet her eyes were full of determination as she walked towards the room and held the knob tightly in her hands.

But before she could enter, a strong hand held her wrist and pulled her back.

With a frown she was about to scold the person who dared to hold her when her eyes widened with shock and it took her a second to calm down again,

"Was it your doing?" When Arden had seen his master leaving the hall and walking towards the bride's room instead of going to search for her, he was worried that Leo was not behaving normally and needed him for support!

He had never seen his master that happy but now that his happiness was gone like that, he had thought that Leo would turn crazy.

He was about to console him when he saw Olivia walk toward him and hear their conversation.

He was shocked out of his wits but did not know how Olivia held power over his master. But he could not stop himself from confronting her anymore.

"Let me go! What do you think you are doing, huh?" she glared at the man who used to be kind to her before when she was in the wrong but now…

"Just answer my one question, are you behind the disappearance of the lady!!" no matter how much she struggled, he did not let her go.

He had always thought that she was a kind girl, she had just lost her way. If he would be a little patient with her! Even last night, when he was suspicious of their sudden meeting, he decided to have faith in her! But now he felt like a fool!

Her silence and evasion of question was the fact that we were shouting over his face that she was guilty! Yet he wanted to listen to it from her mouth!

"Arden! Let me go! You are hurting me!" her face had crumpled and her eyes were turning misty as he had forgotten about the force he was using in his anger!

He was blinded by disappointment and rage that he had let her come closer! The feeling of being behind used and discarded was crawling and piercing his heart.

"Hurt!" a laughter full of madness filled his face, "does a cold woman like you even know the meaning of the word hurt! Ha! Have you ever been hurt!

No! You are only being humiliated due to your false pride! You are nothing but an empty doll filled with ego who has lost her senses!

Go and look at the face of the family you have hurt, then it might open your eyes and you realize what being hurt is! Even then you will not be able to feel it since you could not feel anything!

I can not believe that you even fell so low to kidnap the bride Olivia! There is still time, tell me where Lady Evangeline is and I will beg the family to forgive you this one time, please.. I beg you tell me where the duchess Evangeline is!"

"You want to know it that badly! Huh! Then come with me!"
