Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 542 She Was Rejected(Chapter Preview)

Hannah jerked the hands of Evangeline away and ran from there.

She did not stop until she reached her room and closed the door. She leaned on the door and closed her eyes.

Her cheeks were wet! She did not realize when tears poured out of her face. Her chest was heaving up and down. She felt like her heart was clawed and she could not breathe.

That's not how it should have been. She should have betrayed them and left with pride. It was not her fault if they all are fools. But if he knew the truth and since let her do what she wanted.. She shook her head.

No! He was lying to hide his foolishness. He could not know.. He would not know!

She looked out of the window at the dark knight. What if Evan's word swayed his heart and he threw her out of the palace.

Now that he knew the truth, it was not the time to give up and cry. It is time to take action. It is the time to take the game to the next level.

The night is the perfect time.

She looked at the mirror. Her face was still beautiful and could sway many hearts.  She was sure that she could sway him once again.

Yes! She took off the ugly dress from her body and went to the small bath that was provided only to her out of all the maids.

At least he was aware that she should not share the bath with others or he did not want other servants to look at her body.

If he was still with her even after knowing that she was stealing money from him, that only meant that he lusted over her.

There was nothing like love! Before he knew about the drugs she was feeling to his family, she would entangle him more in that lust.

She cleared herself thoroughly and used the little perfume she had brought for herself before.

Dressing in a sheer dress, she let her hair fall over her shoulders and used the red lipstick over her luscious lips.

Her eyes were a dark and smoky look and her face had that tinge of red on them. She looked at her face one more time and smiled.

No one would be able to say no to such a face. She was sure of it.

She walked out of the room in the dark. Many maids raised their heads when they heard the sound of footsteps but lowered with a look of embarrassment when they saw her walking towards the room of Ethan while holding a blanket over her body.

They did not need to see to know what her intentions were. Her face looked so seductive that it was hard for men to take their eyes away from her.

She smiled and looked arrogance on her face. She knew that she was beautiful but their eyes were making her feel more arrogant.

She enjoyed the attention she was getting until she reached his room and knocked on it.

She knocked again when the door did not open.

She heard the sound of footsteps and her anticipation increased.

The door opened and her eyes met his. She could see the shock filling her eyes and he looked around with horror.

He pulled her in and closed the door abruptly as if he was afraid that anyone would see her.

"What in the world are you doing here and what are you fearing for Christ's sake?" eh! This was not the reaction she was expecting.

She was taken aback when she noticed the anger on his face. Why was he shouting?

"Ethan.. I.."

"Wear the clothes first! Did you not feel embarrassed when you came here wearing only this?" He walked towards his closet as if demons were chasing him and started throwing all of the dresses out.

She looked at him with a baffled face when he did not take any initiative to touch her.

She was sure she was looking enchanting. She had made sure of it.

"Ethan..!" she purred in a sexy voice. It should claw his heart and he would be tempted to look at her.

But her voice only increased the speed of his actions. He took out more clothes and threw them on the ground until he found a suitable dress.

He walked back to her and shoveled those clothes in her hands.

She looked at the dress in her hands and then at him with confusion when he dragged her to the washroom.

"Wash your face thoroughly and then wear these clothes and come out.

Only then we will sit and discuss what happened." huh!

"Ethan, what if there is something to discuss! I am here for.. I mean.. Do you not love me?" She did not know what she should say.

It was nothing like she had planned. Why did she need to explain herself? Annoyance and confusion was enveloping her but his face was adamant.

"Just go and clean yourself or shall I ask any maid to help you with it?" That would only mean that the maids would know that he had not touched her.

She had come so proudly in his room. If they would know that he had asked her to wash and then leave the room. She would be a subject of mockery.

Then they would not respect her the way they should." her hands clenched into a deep fist as she shook her head.

She walked towards the washroom and closed the door with a bang.

She leaned and looked at the mirror again but this time instead of proud anger filled her. She threw the soap case on the mirror and pulled her hair out of frustration.

Just where did she go wrong?

She went to the small pool and immersed herself in cold water.

"It would be better if you chose me Ethan or I have to give you drugs too.!"
