The one thing I regret most is waiting for the right time to come to ask about this matter again. Who would have thought that things would end up like that. I want to know which marquees the man was talking about but i was afraid that if i press the matter again again our identity could be disclosed. But it was not too late now. "What did you say?" he asked surprised and I nodded. "The man said that he used to do all the illegal work for the business of marquess. And we both know there are only two…-

Marianne pov.. "Your highness, are you okay?" I was startled with the voice behind me, when Norma called me. I looked above and blinked my eyes to get rid of the tears that had brimmed there. I gave a last look to the scene in front of my eyes and then turned to her. "I am fine, what will happen to me. Did you need something?" I asked and she looked back at them and then at me. "The dinner is served as per your instructions, your highness" "No, ask them to wait. We will have late dinner tonight.`` I…

Cassius pov I sat on the chair and started opening files one by one. The work piled up like I had been lost for ages and finally came back only to get drowned under the files. Even Ian, he increased my headache. I could not believe that even after 15 empty chambers in my quarters, he wanted to live in duchess quarters and the smile he had after I accepted his offer was something I did not find normal. Or was I overthinking. Though I never saw him this happy in many years. I shook my head and opened the…

Marianne pov I walked into the room and laid on the bed straight. I hardly slept last night due to our bathroom adventure. I wanted some peace for now, so that I can get my concentration back and look for a perfect solution for the clan and Dami. "Your highness" I opened my eyes to see all of them standing there with happy faces and a smile bloomed on my lips too. "How did you get so hurt, your highness?" asked Norma. "You should have taken us with you, so that we can take good care of you," said…

Cassius pov contd. I was still in daze when Killian hugged me happily as I was taking James and Monique home with us. How did it turn out like that! I was just teasing James. I swear not even once had I thought that my small family of three would be of five when we would return. I was still looking at them with wonder as they were sitting in the carriage together. That's right. Marine denied to take the marquis carriage, telling sharing carriage would increase the love and Killian nodded on everything…

Cassius pov The next morning, I woke up in Marianne's bed alone. The sun was already high in the sky and the room was brightly lit. I cracked my neck as I sat on the bed, with my one long leg on the floor. I couldn't believe I had actually slept this long. I couldn't even remember the last time I slept to the point that my neck needed to be stretched like this upon waking up. All I had was nightmares while sleeping so I almost woke up with the first ray of the sun to escape from them. But last night was…

Have you ever imagined how you would like to be in a beautiful garden or palace with candles around you, and flowers? The sky would be filled with stars or brightened with sun. Your lover will kneel on one leg in front of you and propose to you. He would ask you would you feel the same way like he did with flowers or rings in his hands. I did that, I had always thought that in my past life. If one day Cassius would like me back, he would do that. But now that I blinked and saw.. I was sitting in the…

Marianne's arm however was starting to become sore and her pace soon started to slow down to a stop. She opened her eyes and looked at him, a look of defeat in her eyes.

Noticing the look in Marianne's eyes, Cassius covered her hand with his and he helped her. He knew that her arm would be sore by now but she…

His skin was starting to glisten with all the water that had accumulated on his clothes and body after the bath. His need in his eyes intensified. "Come." He held her hand and led it down and in the second, Marianne's hand was cupping it. Marianne was suddenly brought out of her dazed state. She was about to pull her hand back but Cassius held it captive. He held her there for a while until he was sure that she was over the initial shock. All this time, he held her gaze, peering into her eyes to get an…
