Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

"Not much. I just want you to get Sebastian to pick up his phone," Sebastian Brenand's mother said.

Rachel Wood honestly couldn't be bothered to say another word to her.

Feeling physically disgusted, she frowned and walked downstairs with her phone, handing it over to Sebastian before returning upstairs without a word. He recognized the phone number. "Why did you call Rachel?"

"You wouldn't pick up. I had no choice but to call her instead," his mother replied.

"Didn't Rachel give you a piece of her mind?" he said, sneering.

"No, she didn't even say anything to me. She was rather rude," she scoffed with a look of contempt as she spoke about her daughter-in-law. Fury overcame Sebastian at her words.

"Can you still recall what you did to her? Ignoring you is the kindest thing she could do to you. Have you no shame?" he snickered with disgust.

"Also, I don't care what you're trying to do. All I want to tell you is to stop contacting us. We are no longer related," he spat out before hanging up.

He then blocked the number and walked up the stairs with the phone.

Meanwhile, memories of what Rachel experienced when she had been sold to the small, mountainous village began to plague her after hearing her mother-in-law's voice. The scenes were like a stake through her heart.
