Duke Adam de Granville was forced to marry someone he didn't want and out of revenge, he decided not to consummate the marriage in the marriage bed. However, the young and beautiful Marilyn, niece of the Duke of Golden Valley, had to consummate the marriage for it to be valid. Will she be able to seduce her husband?
Watch until the end and be surprised by the outcome. Duke Adam de Granville stood before the king, his face grim as the monarch's words echoed through the room. The proposal—no, the order—was clear: he should marry Marilyn, the sole heiress of the Duchy of Golden Valley, a rival duchy that for decades had brought suffering and pain into his life.
The King, determined to unite the duchies in the name of peace and prosperity, would not accept refusal. Adam clenched his fists, feeling fury and the desire for revenge mix in his chest. The Duke of Golden Valley, Marilyn's uncle, had been responsible for the darkest moments of her life.
Physical and psychological torture, humiliations that to this day tormented his dreams. And now, the King demanded that he be united in marriage with the blood of the man he hated so much. “Your Majesty, I understand the intention to bring peace between the duchies, but I do not believe this marriage is necessary,” -Adam argued, keeping his voice steady, although his mind was in chaos.
The King, however, was not shaken. “The union of the duchies is imperative to the stability of the kingdom, Duke Adam. It's not a suggestion, it's an order.
Miss Marilyn is a lady of nobility and virtue, and your union will strengthen our alliances. ” Adam lowered his head, jaw set. “Yes, Your Majesty,” -He finally replied, resigned, but inside him, a storm was brewing.
With no way to escape that imposed marriage, he found an opportunity he never expected: revenge! He would marry Miss Marilyn, yes, but she would pay for the blood that ran through his veins, suffering from the contempt with which he would treat her. Golden Valley Castle was silent as Marilyn prepared for what would be the most feared day of her life.
The announcement of her marriage to the Duke of Granville left her perplexed and distressed. She knew of the enmity that her uncle, the late Duke of Golden Valley, had for that man. However, now, it was being offered as a kind of sacrifice to seal an uncertain peace.
She didn't know Duke Adam, but she knew about the torture her uncle had carried out. For more than two months, he was trapped in the castle's dungeon, being tormented daily by torturers, until he was rescued and freed by his King's guards. Although she also did not want to marry the Duke, she had no other option.
According to the King, the marriage must be duly consummated or the Duchy of Golden Valley would cease to exist, becoming part of the King's lands. Between getting married or losing her lands, she accepted the marriage. Marilyn was a woman of extraordinary beauty.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, her deep blue eyes reflected the strong and determined soul she possessed. Despite everything, there was a tranquility about her that attracted the attention of everyone around her, and a sharp intelligence that made her a lady difficult to fool. She knew the Duke didn't want her, but that didn't faze her.
If he thought he could control her, he was mistaken. Marilyn promised herself that she wouldn't just be a pawn in a male power game. If he tried to make her suffer, he would face a woman willing to fight.
The wedding ceremony was a spectacle of pomp and circumstance. Nobles from all parts of the kingdom attended the union of the Duke of Granville and Miss Marilyn of Golden Valley, but the atmosphere was tense. In Adam's eyes, there was a coldness that did not go unnoticed.
Marilyn, on the other hand, maintained her composure, watching him closely, every detail of his behavior etching itself into her mind. When they finally retired to the marital quarters, Adam walked to the window, looking out at the horizon, without saying a word. Marilyn, sitting on the edge of the bed, waited patiently.
Finally, he turned around, his eyes boring into hers, filled with a mixture of repressed hatred. “This marriage was not of my will,” -He said, his voice cold. “And I don’t expect it to be anything other than a political alliance.
We will not consummate this marriage. ” Marilyn looked at him, keeping her gaze steady. “As you wish, my lord,”- He replied, his voice calm and controlled.
Adam expected a different reaction—crying, pleading, fear—but her serenity disarmed him. He approached slowly, his footsteps echoing in the room. Marilyn's beauty was almost otherworldly, and he felt his anger turn into something more dangerous: temptation.
“Don't think that your beauty enchants me, Miss Marilyn,”- He murmured, getting even closer, so close that he could smell the soft perfume that emanated from her. “Nothing will change what I think about this union and if it depends on me, this marriage will not be consummated and you will lose your castle. ” She looked up, looking at him.
She didn't want to sleep with him either, but if she didn't, she would lose her land. For now, tired of the festivities and wanting to put her thoughts in order, she left the situation as it was. Adam left the bridal room and went to sleep in a room next door.
The days that followed were marked by a subtle dance of contempt on Adam's part. He remained distant, always focused on his plan for revenge. Several times, he smiled and said: “If it depends on me, my dear wife, you will die a virgin!
” One night, when they had been married for about a month, while they were having dinner alone, Adam accidentally caught himself watching Marilyn, who was talking excitedly about the improvements she would like to make to the castle gardens. He tried not to listen, not to care, but her words were like soft music that drew him in. When she laughed at something trivial, the sound made his heart race.
Adam silently cursed himself. How could he be so weak? How could he let the niece of the man he hated so much begin to penetrate his barriers?
“You are very silent. Is something bothering you? - Marilyn observed, noticing his introspection.
He shook his head, trying to hide his uneasiness. “Nothing you need to worry about,” -He replied dryly. Marilyn just smiled, an enigmatic smile that made something awaken inside him.
She knew the power she was beginning to have over him, and that made her feel even more determined to seduce him until he surrendered himself into her arms. Realizing that her husband's defensive barriers were slowly beginning to crumble, that night, she applied a seductive tactic. I knew that every night, before going to sleep, Adam liked to read a little in the library.
So, he dressed only in a transparent nightgown and went to the library, with the excuse of getting a book to read. When she entered, she smiled at him and, pretending to look for a book, purposely placed herself against the light. With that, her body was fully visible beneath the transparent shirt.
He stretched to one side, stretched to the other, looking for the desired book, until he heard Adam sigh. ”There…I found it…This is what I wanted! ” -Marilyn said, looking at Adam's eyes, which were delighting in the shadow of her naked body under her nightgown.
“Are you going already? Stay a little longer! Read your book here in the library!
”-Adam said, with a voice that sounded more like a groan. She smiled and replied, “I don’t want to bother you with my presence. ” - Withdrawing immediately.
That night, Adam realized that his plan was starting to fail. He wanted to make her suffer, but he was becoming a prisoner of his own feelings. Marilyn was slowly winning the heart of the man who had sworn to hate her.
From that night on, Adam began to desire Marilyn. The image of the shadow of her naked body beneath the transparent nightgown filled his thoughts, imagining what it would be like to actually see her naked. He felt between hatred for her being a descendant of the Duke of Golden Valley and the desire to possess her as his wife.
On the one hand, he constantly remembered the atrocities that her uncle had committed, but on the other, he couldn't deny that he wanted her trapped in his arms, dominated by his kisses and surrendered to his most eloquent pleasures. However, my dears, at first Marilyn only got married to keep the family castle and, to that end, she was determined to do everything to consummate the marriage, losing her virginity. But we understand very well that for a young woman to live with an attractive man and not fall in love is impossible!
And that's what happened with Marilyn: she was very much in love with Adam and wanted him intensely. One stormy night, Marilyn left her bedroom door wide open, certain that when Adam walked towards his room he would see her lying comfortably on the bed, give in to temptation and take her in his arms. .
. As she had premeditated, it happened: when he He passed by her room, seeing the door open, went in and locked the door from the inside. She pretended to be asleep.
He sat on the edge of the bed, undid the tie at the waist that held the nightgown together and, for a few minutes, looked closely at what he had wanted most in recent days: to see his wife's beautiful body. At that moment, she pretended to wake up, looked at him and smiled. Without saying a word, Adam approached and pulled her towards him, their lips meeting in an overwhelming kiss.
All the anger, the repressed desire, the confusion of feelings exploded at that moment, and Marilyn gave herself to him, responding to the kiss with the same intensity. After a night full of desires, vows of eternal love and overwhelming passion, the next morning, there was no longer a virgin wife, as the consummation of the marriage finally took place. It was not an act of revenge, but rather of mutual surrender to the feelings they had both fought to deny.
And so, marriage, which should have been a punishment, turned into true love, overcoming hatred and the desire for revenge. The couple, who began their journey as enemies, discovered that love can emerge even in the most unlikely circumstances, transforming hatred into something much more powerful: love.
