Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"For Evan, are you ready to destroy everything" the words continued to stab him and he did not even know how he staggered and reached the carriage back.

"Start the carriage!!" the terrifying voice trembled the coachman who shivered and started the carriage instantly.

The words keep on ringing in his mind like a cobweb forming all around him, he could not get rid of!

"Mmmm" the girl rubbed her eyes as she turned from her initial position when Leo finally stared at her.

Her sharp and sly features were looking too innocent when she was sleeping without a care in the world.

The grim look in his eyes dissipated a little as he kept looking at her for long! His stirred heart settled a litter and a wary smile formed on his face.

He was thinking of giving her the world! Who would have thought that he was the one who had snatched her world!

The power, the position, the treasure had belonged to her since the start, while he was a nobody who was basking in the love and care that had always belonged to her.

The way she played the piano, danced or prepared food! He should have known! He should have known the moment he saw her!

Why has the thought never crossed his mind? Now he was regretting to ignore all the flags and yet thinking that it was all just a coincidence!

Oh lord! He even took her as a spy! The real owner of the palace! He covered his face with both hands and took a deep sigh!

He could feel his whole world crumbling down and his life was shattering into smaller pieces that he could not even hold them and try to join it again! He had lost everything!

His head was hurting so badly as if it would burst out from the pressure, he was feeling! He wanted to shout out loud or the pain would keep increasing in his heart but he could not!

He did not want her to know until he went and talked to his father!

Father! The word brought a sarcastic smile on his face that was filled with self mockery! Did he even have the right to call that to the duke!

Evan blinked as she opened her eyes slowly and looked around! She remembered leaning onto him after entering the carriage.

Did she fall asleep? But why was she sleeping on the cushion! She looked around with confusion when her eyes fell on Leo who was sitting on the opposite side with a gloomy look.

Her brows knitted into a thin line when she noticed that his eyes were lifeless, almost hollow and frowned!

Holding the corner, she sat on the seat and stared at Leo who did not even notice that she was awake!

Standing up she held the shoulders of Leo whose face was ashen as if he had suffered the greatest shock of his life, she straddled him and blinked her eyes again!

She wanted to ask what had happened but when her eyes met his hollow eyes, she shuddered! They were filled with so much pain that confused her but at the same time, she did not dare to ask!

Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she leaned on his chest and rubbed his back from her other hand when she felt him trembling under her touch!

Once again, she felt bewildered when his large hands covered her back and brought her closer to his body!

Hiding his head in the crook of her neck, he inhaled her scent but even that was not enough to calm her down.

She tried to move a bit further to look at his face but his grip on her waist tightened and he did not let her go!

"Did.. did something happen when I was asleep?" with some hesitation, she whispered in his ears only to get silence in return!

His grip tightened on her waist and she winced as it hurt her a little but when she noticed that he was looking more miserable than before, she let it go and rubbed his back again with a wish to soothe his pain!

"Leo, if you will not tell me.. Then!"

"Please! Can we just stay like this for a while? I am not feeling well!" his soft whispers were full of pleading voice that she did not have the heart to deny,

Instead of saying anything, she held him tightly and let him hug her until he calmed down a bit when she felt wetness in her neck and her eyes widened!

Was.. was he crying? She could not even imagine that a strong man like Leo could cry! He had always been so cold, so neutral no matter what condition had he faced!

Such a man who was standing so high in the ranking that no one could trifle to him was crying out of the blue? That was impossible!

Something big must have happened to break him so badly! But she knew even if she would ask him, he was not going to tell her.

"I love you!" the words left her mouth before she could even think of anything. Holding her tightly, she spoke in a stronger voice,

"I love you and I will be forever with you. I did not know what had happened and why are you so hurt, but I promise that no matter what problem you face, I will be part of it and I will always stand by your side and support you.

I will always remind you that you are a great person and together we can handle anything in the world!

You would always be the best and we would always win! So do not lose your heart. Because i.. I will love and be with you no matter what!"
