Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

The hatred she had for the family of Thawyne was so much that she did not care who was innocent among them and who was responsible for the demise of her family.

All she knew was, her father was not with them because he was busy taking care of another girl.

But the girl was not even the daughter of her father but the young miss of the family of Thawyne.

And instead of repaying with reward and gratitude, she had sent her father to prison to hide her truth.

They are all greedy then why should she not be the one?

"I will come back soon to get you free from here. But it is only for my mother since I still hate you.`` She placed the food on the corner as she looked at her father with a cold look before turning back.

Her father stared at her disappearing figure and raised his head in the mid air but shook his head.

He knew that the place was dangerous but she was too stubborn to listen to him. And what if anyone heard him when he called her.

The most he could help was, do not create more hurdles for her. But if she became successful in ruining the family then it would be the best gift for him.

He wanted to take revenge from the family who destroyed him with their lies.

He picked up the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp. It has been days since he had a good meal.

Just when Hannah walked out of the dark passage, she noticed that the guard was coming towards her.

"What took you so long? I was only coming to check up on you." he frowned as he looked behind her and then at her hands but there was nothing.

"I was looking at that pitiful soul. That old man was looking too old to be kept in this place without food and water." she whispered when the guard scoffed.

"Ha! He is a bloody murdered who killed a baron while attempting to kill all the members of this family.

I did not even understand why he was kept alive. Someone should mix poison in his food and let him die.

He was a bloody cruel man who tried to take advantage of the affections of her highness and break their marriage.

If only.."he stopped in tracks and then glared at the woman who was still standing in front of him.

"But all this had nothing to do with you. You shall leave now." Hannah nodded. She didn't want to spend her time listening to how her father should be killed mercilessly.

"Just you wait! I would soon show you who would die and who was going to survive." she muttered under her breath as she walked out of the underground cell when the other staff stared at her again.

She was the hot topic of rumor. No matter where she goes, everyone is talking about her these days.

They all thought that she was playing with the heart of their lord and that she could not be trusted but she just scoffed at their accusations.

If they were so sure that she was a villain. Why did they not go to his highness and complain? If not directly, they could go to Eli, Eve or Evan.. what rhyming names!

But she did not care. Eve was going and Leo had gone in search of her. It would be enough time for her to bring an internal storm and weaken the base of this family.

And when Leo would return, there would be nothing left but the ruins of this happy and loving family.

She laughed softly while her eyes burned with passion as she walked towards the hill.

The place was too silent when everyone was sleeping.

"You can go and rest. I will stay here and see if anyone needs anything." she ordered the maid who looked around but could not dare to challenge the authority of Hannah.

For the past few days, she was ordering all the maids as if she was the mistress of the palace and when they tried to complain about it, Ethan only supported Hannah, saying she was only making sure that the palace would work well.

She was a well wisher of the family even Eli was treated badly then where would they stand.

Once the maid left, Hannah looked around at the silent corridor and hall and took out another bunch of drugs.

She went to the kitchen where another pair of maids were sleeping and took out the box of spices and mixed whole powder in it.

Once she had mixed well and was sure that no one had seen it. She came out of the kitchen feeling pity for the two women who were asked to take care of the kitchen and came out of that dark place.

What should she do now? She had already started feeding all of them poison through chef and she had met her father too. She had Ethan and his father was going to die anyway.

Leo was gone and Ethan would have already married her before he could come back. The palace was still working well and soon all of this would be hers.

She was going to rule this whole place alone.

Just when she was about to sit on the sofa leisurely and enjoy her closeby winning when she heard the sound of footsteps and frowned.

No one should be awake and walking at this hour then what Eli was trying to do.

She stood up to notice that Evan was walking towards her with the bowl of soup in her hands.

He has mixed poison only in that soup. Had he found out what she was trying to do? She held her dress tightly with her warm hands and then bowed her head when Evan reached closer.

"You are the one who brought this soup into my room, right? You should be punished for feeding me poison.."
