Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Rachel Wood was in a dilemma.

She'd made up her mind to push Sebastian Brenand away, despite her reluctance.

She had already decided.

"We have to break up," she said, her voice breaking. "Don't come looking for me anymore. Let me go. I want to leave this place. I'm tainted.

"You're married. You have a family, and your wife is a good person. She's much better than me.

"It's been over a month. I don't have the right to return to you. I'm morally undeserving," she rambled on.

"My parents forced me to marry that woman," Sebastian countered. "They lied to me, saying you were still in their possession. If I didn't do as they asked, they were going to kill you. "As long as you come back, I can divorce her anytime.

"I'll never let you go, Rachel. Do you know how hard I've tried to look for you over the past month?

"Did you say you're tainted? Well, I'm even more so! Aren't we the perfect match? Let's not give up on each other."

With that, he hugged her tightly, wishing they could be fused into one so that they would never be apart again.

No matter what, he would never let go of Rachel's hand.

It would never happen.
