The Duke Hired Her to Make His Impossible Cousin Marriageable—Then She Taught Her to Say No

Duke Adrian Blackmere believes his rebellious cousin Beatrice has ruined every chance at marriage, so he hires Clara Whitmore to make her more acceptable to society. But Clara soon discovers the truth: Beatrice has been destroying her own reputation on purpose to escape Lord Frederick Vale, the respectable gentleman Adrian believes would make her the perfect husband. When Beatrice finally says no in front of everyone, Adrian makes the devastating mistake of asking her to remain calm instead of standing beside her. Both women walk away, forcing him to uncover the truth Frederick had hidden all along. To earn them back, Adrian must learn that love is not deciding what is best for someone—it is believing them when they tell you what they need, even when the answer is no. 0:00 The unconventional lady 14:03 Conflict of trust 23:25 Adrien's investigation 25:15 A change in perspective 28:07 Redemption and union Disclaimer & Copyright Notice: ⚠️ This story is entirely fictional and created for entertainment purposes.
