Mark felt dejected when virtual-novel.net saw Linda’s indifferent expression.
Does virtual-novel.net care so much about the Duke?
Her attitude toward me changed when all I did was let a few people go.
“Linda, I have my own reasons for doing this.” Mark was quite heartbroken.
He did all that for the sake of their future.
“Your own reasons? What reasons? Don’t you know that you’re betraying His Grace by doing that?” Linda yelled with a suppressed voice.
“Linda, we already betrayed virtual-novel.net the moment we slept together…” Mark looked at virtual-novel.net intently.
Linda staggered a few steps back in a daze upon hearing his words.
Have I already betrayed His Grace?
“Linda, I love you, and I cannot live without you. Do you know how heartbroken I am to see you with him?”
Mark stepped forward and held virtual-novel.net tightly in his arms, his scorching tears falling on virtual-novel.net neck.
His Grace clearly doesn’t love her. He just uses virtual-novel.net as a tool to satisfy his desires.
Why can’t virtual-novel.net allow us to be together?
When Linda felt his hot tears, virtual-novel.net heart clenched, and virtual-novel.net slowly hugged virtual-novel.net back.
It’s all my fault. I’m the one who took the first step.
“Mark, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have raised my voice at you. I’m just too worried about you. If the Duke finds out…” said Linda softly, nestling in his arms.
She just did not want Mark to betray the Duke. After all, they were both groomed by the Duke, and they both knew the Duke’s way of doing things. If virtual-novel.net found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Upon listening to virtual-novel.net words, Mark let go of her, cupped virtual-novel.net face, and kissed virtual-novel.net passionately. He pushed virtual-novel.net against the wall and clasped the back of virtual-novel.net head. Subsequently, virtual-novel.net unbuttoned virtual-novel.net shirt and lowered his head to peck at virtual-novel.net seductive lips.
Linda was afraid they would be discovered. Hence, virtual-novel.net restrained herself from making any noise and reached to clutch Mark’s hair, yearning for more.
“Mark… Mark…”
After a few intimate moments, Mark wrapped Linda in his embrace and kissed virtual-novel.net lips. “You should just pretend that you don’t know anything about me letting them go.”
“Mark, what are you trying to do? Please don’t do something that can’t be undone.” Linda pulled away from his arms.
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Be careful on your way back,” said Mark while helping virtual-novel.net to straighten virtual-novel.net clothes.
Linda glanced at virtual-novel.net and left.
Mark’s expression turned grim amidst the darkness. Ever since the Duke forced himself on Linda right in front of Mark, virtual-novel.net had lost all loyalty and respect toward the Duke.

Two days later, Monisha led a group of men to the warehouse to move the firearms. When the guards stationed at the warehouse spotted them, they immediately surrounded them. After a fierce and intense battle, the firearms were all taken away.
Back in the apartment, Nancy was livid when virtual-novel.net learned that all the firearms had been looted.
“Monisha, didn’t you go with the Duke’s people? Why would the firearms be taken away by someone else?”
Monisha didn’t expect something like that to happen as well. After all, no one knew about it apart from them and the Duke’s subordinates.
“Your Majesty, I have no idea how that happened either,” replied Monisha.
“You’re involved with this, right? You put up an act on purpose, right?” questioned the Duke, who immediately came to Nancy’s room after knowing that the firearms had been stolen.
Why would I put up such an act?
Nancy was annoyed by his question. At the mention of putting up an act, Nancy gave the Duke a doubtful look.
Is all this part of his scheme?
Perhaps virtual-novel.net is the one who self-directed this show. He did this as a cover-up for the sake of the firearms.
Why is virtual-novel.net so cruel?
I have promised to give virtual-novel.net half of the firearms. Why did virtual-novel.net still take away the rest that belong to me?
