Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

A chill ran down the spine of Evangeline when she remembered those incidents. She has always thought that they were childhood mistakes.

The horse had gone crazy and was deduced by the guards when they saved her.

The man had kidnapped her because she went astray.

The accident and all those.. She felt fear crawling in her heart.

Hannah was much more dangerous than she had thought.

She hid her daughter in her arms as she tried to move away when Hannah laughed.

"I know I have been blind with my hatred. My anger and my desire to have the love of my father. I am not trying to find an excuse, but I was just a kid back then who thought she would get the love of her father if you were not there!" she held the hands of Evan that alerted her.

"And I am ready for any kind of punishment. Even if you would ask me to stand up and leave this instant. I will do it without asking a question." her eyes were clear like the calm lake when Evan starred in them but she was not able to digest the things she was told.

"Even if you ask me to spend the rest of my life in prison where you had kept our father, I will not mind. As long as…" she took the hands of Evan and placed them in her stomach. "As long as you take care of the child. If not for me then for Ethan\'s!"

Her eyes looked desperate when she mentioned her child. Evan was not surprised that Hannah was pregnant since they had been living together for a long time.

What she was worried about was.. If Hannah was telling the truth for repentance or using this chance to clean her name so that her child would not suffer later when the truth would come out from another source.

If it was the latter, then it meant she had no regrets and she could do things to her daughter too later.

She kept staring at Hannah without saying a word but her eyes were cold and her faze was hard with no shred of warmth in it.

She took her hands away from Hannah\'s hands which did not surprise Hannah.. She was expecting worse.

She was expecting to be thrown out of the room already. Yet here she was.. Still sitting on her bed.

"Hey. What are you talking about with such a serious look on your face?" Ethan who had walked to them placed his hands on the shoulders of Hannah and lifted his brow when he looked at how grave their faces were..

Hannah raised her head and stared at him and took a deep breath, before opening her mouth.

"Yes, I wanted to confess something.. But for so long, I did not have the courage to do so. But now that I look at Evan, I can not hide it anymore. Ethan i.."

"She is pregnant!" Evan cut Hannah whose eyes widened as she snapped her head to Evan.

That was not what she was going to confess. But Evan was not even looking at her.

"So, do not try to steal my daughter. You are going to have one soon." she continued looking at the shocked Ethan who was frozen.

Now everyone was looking at them since the voice of Evan was loud enough to reverberate in the whole room.

Andrew looked at Eli with resentment. He pursued his lips but when Eli did not pay attention, he could not help but frown.

"We were just behind Leo when we did the deed, I am sure that Ethan was too far. How in the world is he going to be a father before me? Huh!" he grumbled with his hands on his hips as he stood up and hovered over Eli whose face turned red instantly.

She stared at him with a shock. She could not believe that he just asked that.

"You.. What in the world are you talking about?" she pointed at him with trembling fingers while she wanted to hide her face so badly.

Not even Evan and Hannah, but even Leo and Ethan were staring at her. She felt her skin burning.

"Do you want my sister to get pregnant before marriage? What kind of a scumbag you are?" asked Leo with a tilt of his head as he punched his left palm with his right hand fist as if threatening him.

Ethan rolled his eyes at their action but his eyes were filled with unshed tears.

He held Hannah in his arms and kissed the crook of her neck with his eyes closed, afraid that he would end up crying.

"Oh my! You did not know how happy I am! I have wanted to have a child since the start. It will be the start of my own family. Our family…." his grip on her shoulders tightened as he already started dreaming about their child and how they are going to teach him things.

His chest swelled with pride and joy just with the thought of it. Hannah could hear the beating of his heart and the happiness in his voice. He was blissful but was she?

She kept staring at Evan as if waiting for her to speak further.

She had done sins. And she couldn\'t get away with them so easily. Was it a way to punish her?

But she did not have the courage to ask that in front of Ethan who was so happy. She didn\'t want to hurt him and break his heart again.

She knew he had suffered much more than her when she had betrayed him for the first time.

"Yes, it is time for another celebration and I implore that you marry her soon rather than just having an engagement ceremony. Now if you give me some time, I need to feed my daughter." Ethan nodded his head and held Hannah in his arms as he walked out of the room.

Andrew glared at fuming Eli and left the room with a broken hearted face while Eli shook her head and followed him.

Leo looked at Even with puppy eyes as if asking if he could stop at least. But she just narrowed her eyes at him and he left with a puppy face.

Suddenly the room was completely empty. She stared at her daughter in her hands and sighed.

"I do not know what Hannah is trying but I am worried that it would leave Ethan broken-hearted if she had evil intentions again! Ren, tell me, what shall I do now?" she asked her daughter as she kissed her forehead and then shook her head and opened the button of her gown.

She took off her bra and placed her mouth on one of her nipples where she eagerly started to drink.

Evan closed her eyes to think about it again when she felt a cold blow of the wind.

With a frown she opened her eyes only to see a woman standing in front of them but her stature.. As if Evan could see through the woman like she was a ghost.

"I apologize for barging in. i wanted to see my grand daughter too."
