A Noble Contract : My husband, my love, my end (Noble Affairs Duology Book 1)

by Matilda My

I wish my father would speak with a prouder voice, but Albert has never been a courageous man, and for as long as I can remember, he's been kissing...

Haha

"I won't harm a hair on her head. Unless…" I don't like the look in his eyes. "Unless you give me permission to do"

Ugh...he's gonna agree

"My son, you are keeping your word. You are marrying her. That's all you promised."

A.loop.hole

"Agreed," I say, gripping his hand firmly as we lock eyes. "Let a year pass after the wedding, so that no one suspects anything. After that, you may kill her."

Well damn. I hope you regret it

He won't have the opportunity to kill me. I will get to him first and cut off his dick.

Hope you do

His whole demeanor changes. He suddenly appears soft and vulnerable, his face younger, more hopeful. As if he can read my thoughts, he quickly turns his head and looks out the window. For the first time since we've been together, the silence between us is not uncomfortable.

I feel like i have whiplash

Madison wants a child with me.

WOAH. Definitely whiplash

I'm not the man who cuddles with a woman, holds her hand when she cries, and promises to fulfill her dreams.

But you did though

even though you're married to that slut." I grab her wrist. She recoils in shock. "Don't talk about my wife like that."

OOOP!

"Don't forget who you are, Madison. I made you, and I can destroy you." My words hurt her. Good.

*claps* still not a fan though

"I swore to protect you and I won't break my word."

I smell a liar but who knows

"The Marquis' father was a tyrant. He kept real people dressed in dog costumes as pets and forced them to live on all fours."

"He approached Albert. He knew the danger our entire family was in, and he offered to marry one of us. You, to be precise." "How do you know?" "Mother told me yesterday."

HUH!?

"Gabriel!" Our paths haven't crossed since I moved away from my hometown. Euphorically, I throw my arms around him.

Hehehe

I don't even manage to say goodbye to Gabriel.

Oh man :(

"That was a mistake," he blurts out.

"I swear," I say in a hoarse voice. "I swear that I will deliver Louise de Guise if you demand it. Should external motives prevent me from fulfilling this promise, I will sacrifice my own life in her place."

Hes back to enemy #1

"I've changed my mind, little one. I'm going to leave you to your fate. It was fun playing with your hope, and who knows, in another life, I might have even saved your sister. But I don't feel like it anymore. I'm bored. I want to find out what your tears taste like when your little heart breaks forever. I want to look into your eyes when you lose your sister for good."

THAT BASTARD!

"It's true. You are weak. But not because I resist you, but because you deny your true feelings." "Mind your tongue." "I felt it. I understood what you were trying to tell me when your lips pressed so hungrily against mine." I free myself from the bedcovers. With each word I speak, I lean closer to him. "You wonder how the other parts of my body taste, the hidden ones. You imagine how my voice sounds when I sigh your name. You become hard when you watch me walking in front of you. Admit it, all-powerful Marquis - the real reason you brought me back is because you can't stop dreaming of fucking me."

She said what she said

"Gino. Regarding our agreement - it's only been nine months, but you can have her sooner. I've grown tired of her. Louise is yours. Kill her on Sunday."

Coward

STILL TUESDAY

I love what the author is doing with the chapter headings!

Today is a special day for him. He's spending it with me. Goosebumps shiver down my spine. I have to remind myself not to lose my head. All of this could be a game for him, a trivial pastime. Only God knows - or the devil - what plan he's pursuing.

"You are here because I want to show you that I will always find places where you're safe, no matter what happens. As long as you're married to me, I will take care of everything you need - and right now, that's peace and a hiding place from the world that has hurt you so deeply."

"But you're a coward."

*claps*

And he presses the glowing branding iron against my chest. Everything goes black.

Ahhhhhh

Her mother took her own life. I didn't have the heart to tell her.

*gasp*

"In another life, I would have given you the love you deserve. I'm sorry, Louise. I'm so sorry."

"She's not dead." Roman chokes on his spit. "What?" "I didn't kill her."

"I will take everything that matters to you. I won't rest until you beg me on your knees to disappear from your life, and then… I will kill you. Gino, Madison, you. Your brother. I will make you suffer and only be satisfied when your blood has dried on my hands."
