Chapter 413

Lady Jenette gasped. Her eyes widened when the world turned upside down.

Before she could utter a single sound, she saw Wilhelm looking at them in disbelief.

Soon, he came back to his senses and shouted, “You! Who do you think you are taking my woman away? Guards! Seize him!!”

His expression distorted and scowled at Ironin.

Looking at the boring sight, Ironin coolly looked at him. “She isn’t yours. She will never be.”

Without giving him another glance, Ironin left with Lady Jenette.

He had already taken care of the guards when he arrived. Therefore, no one came to stop them.

.....

Lady Jenette heard Wilhelm’s scream for some time. But then, Ironin placed her on his horse.

He also mounted on the horse and then rode away.

Lady Jenette’s heart was beating fast. She was nervous and frightened.

It was the first time she had done something that crossed her limit.

Her heart leaped in joy being with the man she liked and at the same time, she was scared of what would happen in her family.

She turned her head and looked at Wilhelm’s grandmother’s mansion one last time.

“Are you having a second thought?” Ironin nonchalantly asked as he noticed her action.

“N-no. Just worried. Where are we going?” she inquired.

“Do you want to see your parents? I don’t plan on taking you there though.”

Lady Jenette pondered. Ever since she was little, her mother openly showed her disappointment in her.

It wasn’t that she chose to be a girl. It wasn’t like she told them to sleep together to have her.

Nonetheless, everyone pushed the blame on her.

She was educated harshly to become a perfect lady.

She knew that was a bait to attract men.

To her father, she was just a chess piece.

Her brothers never considered her as their family as they kept thinking that she would be married off and there was no point in showing affection to her.

In the midst of all these, she grew up.

Lack of love and affection.

She craved love but was afraid to go against her family.

“Is it okay to do this?” a soft whisper came out of her mouth.

Ironin’s eyes were straight at the path. His left arm tightened around her waist.

“Everything is fine as long as you want it for yourself. I’ll protect you.”

Lady Jenette’s face turned red. Her heart beat rapidly.

She felt the warmth of his hand transferred to her body. She couldn’t move at all.

Without a second thought, she blurted out, “I want to be with you.”

“I’ll fulfill your wish.”

When she heard his reply, blood rushed toward her face.

The sudden realization hit her hard.

‘Did... did I just say I wanted to be with him?!?!’

She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t talk rest of the journey.

Ironin noticed her odd behavior. He also said nothing. He just gave her some space to think with a cool head.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That night, they rested in a cabin. It was one of Ironin’s safehouses.

While it was quiet outside, inside the cabin, the couple shared a heated night.

Ironin never knew how it felt to embrace a delicate body of a woman, how much it could give pleasure to a man. Especially when the woman was someone he fancied.

Feeling the extreme pleasure, he couldn’t control his emotions. His eyes poured all the affection he felt for her.

While she cried out his name, he thrust deep inside her and connected to her again and again.

The next day, Ironin woke up in a jolly mood. His spirit lifted as soon as he noticed the woman in his arms.

Lady Jenette was exhausted and was in a deep sleep. Her whole body was covered in marks.

Without bothering her, he got up, wore his clothes and then assisted her to wear hers.

He knew that Wilhelm would come to look for them and he didn’t want to waste his sweet precious time with her.

Hugging her close to him, he galloped toward his castle.

Lady Jenette woke up when it was almost noon. She sensed that she was moving.

Feeling startled, she opened her eyes and found herself in Ironin’s embrace.

She was stupefied. A series of incidents came to her mind, ringing the bell in her memory.

When she recalled last night’s heated moment, she couldn’t help covering her face.

She was embarrassed to death.

There was a hint of a smile on Ironin’s face. He pretended not to see her and focused on the road.

It took them another day to reach his castle. The servants were stunned to see their master with a beautiful woman.

The Head Butler knew that his master was exchanging letters with a noble lady but he didn’t imagine his master taking her home just like that.

From then on, Lady Jenette stayed at Ironin’s palace. Every night, they had a passionate time.

The maids who served her blushed in embarrassment every time they helped her bath.

The whole castle spread the news that their stoic master finally bloomed.

They also find out that Ironin kidnapping a noble lady who was already engaged to someone else. The news spread like a wildfire.

Count Cromwell couldn’t take the humiliation and declared war against Ironin.

Wilhelm joined forces. Although he didn’t want to take the woman who was already tainted by another man, he needed to teach her a lesson.

‘That slut only pushed me away and acted virtuous and yet, she ran away with the Murderous Mad Duke. I’ll show her what happens when she disobeys her man,’ he thought.

However, his words were only words. His wish didn’t come true.

He should have known that his opponent was the infamous Murderous Mad Duke. There was no way he would win.

After being defeated by Ironin mercilessly, he could only flee.

Count Cromwell and his sons did the same. It took them weeks to stand on their own feet.

Lady Jenette never met her family again. Not even contacted them.

And she never missed them.

Soon, Ironin proposed to her and they got married. She became the Duchess of this land.

As Lady Jenette told the story, Veronica and others breathlessly listened.

They never thought Ironin could have a romantic adventure like that.

They looked at him in a new light.
