Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Hannah tried to struggle but it was in vain. He was holding her wrist tightly with so much force that it was paining like hell.

She tried so many times but she was not able to get free.

"Ethan, let me explain. It is not like you think. I was just talking to him when he touched me. I was about to move his hands away and told him to stay away. You just came at the very moment and misunderstood me." she cried with tears streaming out of her eyes like pools. but her words only fell into dead ears.

He did not pay any head to her cries as he continued to drag her. She noticed that they were not going to his room or hers that only increased her panic.

"Ethan let me go! You can not do this with me." she shouted but only got snicker in reply.

Now she knew that she would not be able to get free and he was not in a condition to listen. She closed her eyes and more tears started to fall off her eyes.

They reached a black door which he opened with one hand while continuing to hold her with the other.

He pulled her inside the room and threw her on the bed with force. Her body bounced on the soft bed before getting stilled.

She tried to sit up but his hands pressed her down again as he hovered over her.

"Last night I did not touch you because I thought you were not ready and only doing that out of pressure.

The same force that has bound you to love me even if you do not.

I let you go. But if I had known that you are so desperate to have a touch of man, I would have conceded.

Tell me, how many men have already touched you? Is that why you did not want to come with me? Are you addicted to the touch of man so much that you couldn't let go of it? Huh?" his eyes were frozen with frost in them and her face winced.

He had always been so gentle to her that she did not know how to cope with the new Ethan who did not share an ounce of care for her.

"That is not it! I told you it is a misunderstanding. I.. I have never been touched." her voice was aloud and filled with anger as she glared at him only to earn a sneer with him.

"So, you were going to give your innocence to a knight of unknown origin. Are you that desperate or are you lying. Shall I check?" he asked with an evil look when horror filled her face.

She understood what he meant and that was enough for her to struggle again but she was no match to his power.

She kicked his kneecap and his thighs, everywhere she could but he did not budge. His eyes could only see red.

He had loved her so much that he was ready to give his all to her. He was ready to leave his house for her but never questioned her afraid that she would be hurt. And what did he get in exchange!

"No! Please.. I beg you!" this was not how it was supposed to end but her struggle only flared him.

She was not struggling when the other man was touching her yet she looked so appalled by his touch.

"Why? Do you want that man to come back and touch you instead? Huh?

Did you like his touch more than me? Was he a better lover in bed? But didnt you say that you are still innocent or could it be that it was another lie?" he asked with an evil look.

Before she could form a sentence and her words became coherent, he held her maid's dress whose buttons were already opened and tore it into two.

The dress fell from her chest and hre eyes widened again. She thrashed further but he did not let her go.

He was looking at her chest but took no initiation to touch her or kiss her.

His one hand was holding her both hands above her head so that she could not move freely. While his other hand was holding the corner of the bed with so much force that the wood started to break from there.

Her tears started to fall on her face and it finally fell on her body when he blinked and raised his head.

She was looking miserable and crying badly to get free.

Her eyes did not have the same look. Though fake, she always looked at him with love and respect but now only fear was crawling there that shook him for a second.

What was he going to do? Was he going to force a woman.. No matter what, he was still a gentleman who had always respected a woman.

He took his hands away from her hands and took a step back.

"You disgust me!" he spat with anger as he stood up from the bed. "Your body only disgust me." he said again as he threw a blanket over her body.

And then ran a hand in his hair. His face was full of hatred and nauseating.

His words hurt her more than his forcefulness and touch. She felt something inside her break as she stared back at him. This time there was no fear but anger and pain.

But he did not stay here to see it. He walked out of the room. But before she could think of following him and explaining him again, the door was closed with a bang.

Ethan asked two knights to guard the door as soon as he walked out.

"No matter what, she would not leave this room. Her food and other necessities would be given to her in there by you only.

No other person would be allowed to go in. if she defies, contact me."
