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.
Crying when she heard this, she was moved by his words.
However, she knew she shouldn’t be distracted by this moment.
Shaking her head frantically, she tried to remain rational. “No! It’s not fair for you or that woman.”
With that, she looked down and stopped struggling, rubbing his back gently. “Sometimes, a missed opportunity remains a missed opportunity. Sebastian, let’s break up.”
It didn’t matter how that woman got married to Sebastian. Rachel had no right to stand in their way.
Even if she hadn’t been raped, she still didn’t have the right to do so.
Sebastian shook his head again, his voice taking on an irrefutable tone. “We’re not going to break up, not unless I die. She knew I loved someone else, but she still insisted on getting married to me. She’s no angel.
