Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"What the hell do you want Olivia, speak up!" what i want!

She closed her eyes and thought about all the time she wanted love from him! All the time when her father had told her that only she would be the next archduchess!

All the time when she had waited for him to come back. Learned cooking only those dishes which he liked! Learned the… now that she thought about it! She felt like she was the fool here!

"What I want.. I want you to save your family! If the truth would come out, not only would you lose your respect, your position in the first order of knights but also your family would be ruined!

Not only whole society would laugh at Thawynes and mock you, but the royal family would use this chance to put an end to your family since you are biggest threat to the crown!"

A mocking chuckle escaped his lips as he looked at her closely. His eyes were so cold that it could freeze the whole empire. His face had that mocking look which could make anyone humiliated!

"So are you being the kindest and benevolent person now! Huh? You are doing all this because you care about us! Hahaa!" every word that comes out from his mouth flinches her!

The hatred was so obvious that she could feel her whole body getting filled with contempt! The look in his eyes was telling that he wanted to snap her neck and kill her right there!

"Cut the chase, and tell me what is the cost of keeping your mouth shut! You want me, right? I am the toy lady Olivia wanted since childhood!

You say that you love me but all I could feel is your craziness as if I am not a person but a thing you must have to show the world!" more tears filled her eyes when he mocked the love she had for him and that moment she knew.. Even if she would force him to marry her, he would never love her!

She closed her eyes and looked away as she did not want to feel the hatred and bloodlust coming from his body anymore.

Did she really not deserve love! Where had she gone wrong.. Just when she decided that she would snatch him forever! Her eyes widened as the scene flashed past her eyes and a gasp escaped her lips!

This time when her eyes opened, they were much calmer and sparkling as if she had finally realized what she wanted from him.

Even he was surprised to suddenly see her smiling so brightly.

"Come here and beg me then I will tell you what I want!" his eyes narrowed on her face as he tilted his head and was about to open his mouth and retort when she chuckled!

"Why! Did you forget again that you are just a commoner and if i would tell this to the world, you would never be able to raise your head.

So it would be better if you would let go of this pride and aloofness you have!

Come here and beg me, then I will think of protecting you and your family!"with a smirk on her face, she walked and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed!

He gritted his teeth as he looked at her face that had a smug smile and knew that she had an upper hand in the discussion! He had thought that if he would insult her then she would give up on having him since he was not even noble anymore!

But if he would show pride, there was no guarantee that she would keep her mouth shut!

With a deep breath, he walked towards her and her smirk widened!

Standing just a foot away from her, he bowed his head and kneeled! His head was lowered but she could see that he was not at all embarrassed! Only he was the one who could still keep his pride intact when he was the one who was kneeling!

Her grip on her dress tightened but her eyes were filled with determination,

"You should have been humble from the start! Come here and I will tell you how you can save your family now!" without speaking another word or arguing with her.

He moved closer and she placed her weight on her arms that were on her lap and bent a bit.

Bringing her lips closer to her ears, she whispered and his eyes flickered! His grip on his sword tightened and it took all his strength to not take it out and cut the head of the person whom he hated most!

"That is it! Say.. what is your decision!" she asked as she leaned on the sofa again and stared at him!

There was no hurry on her face but a leisurely expression as if she had all the time in the world but his face was crumpled like he had seen a ghost.

"Is there no other choice!" holding back the disappointment in his eyes, his eyes tried to search her face but she only sighed!

"You know that better than me! So, I leave the decision to you!" with that she stood up and without looking at his sad face anymore, she walked out of the door!

Just as she reached out of the door, her knees turned wobbly and she staggered as if all her body had lost her strength!

She closed her eyes as she braced herself for the fall, but instead of feeling the hard floor, she felt the soft embrace and warm arms of a man around her waist!

"Thank you!" a stunned look filled her eyes and then she looked away.

She was not expecting him to come and help her when he had behaved like a stranger before as if they never knew each other.

"Let me go! What made you think that an aide can touch me!"
