"No woman deserves to be treated as he has treated you," said Rudy. I'm going to put
in evidence, I swear.
She pulled his arm.
"I want to go, Rudy. Please.
- And your shawl?
"I've left.
"I will leave installed on my car and then again for your shawl and present our
apologies to my grandmother.
Rudy put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her out of there, avoiding the beam
of light coming out of the ballroom.
Christy glanced back, relieved that Sinjun not followed. I was not able to give further
explanation, and certainly Sinjun they are going to ask. He did not breathe normally
until he returned Rudy and the car left the house.
I had to be completely crazy to have gone there that night, he mentally scolded. But the
last thing he expected was that Sinjun recognize her so easily. How had he known?
- Do you want to tell me what happened? Rudy asked when the silence between them
became too uncomfortable.
Christy dropped the light and crawled into the shawl.
I can not.
Rudy gently removed the mask.
- Did you hurt yourself?
She shook her head.
"I'm fine, really.
A Rudy is marked jaw muscles.
"It seems you're well.

His relationship with Sinjun was too complicated to explain. And Rudy would not
understand. Nobody would understand why he had lied about his son Sinjun.
"I'll see you tomorrow," said Rudy when the car stopped in front of the door of his
house.
"I'd rather not," she murmured.
"Then I will come in a few days. And be assured that I will sing to Forty Sinjun for
what you have done. Christy felt a twinge of panic.
"Remember your promise, my lord. You said you would tell where to find Sinjun.
Whatever happens, I beg you do not betray my confidence.
Rudy took her small, cold hand and a kiss on the knuckles.
"Never betray a lady so lovely.
Christy. Still seated on the floor, Sinjun was too shocked to think beyond the fact that
just making love to his wife. He had taken on the ground like an animal, using it as I
would have done with a prostitute from the dock. Suddenly I was completely sober.
More sober in his life.
Christy. His name was like savoring a good wine. I should have recognized
immediately. Damn his confused head, and his inability to see beyond the mask and
wig. But do not take him long to recognize it when it started to make love. No other
woman in the world made love as the head of the MacDonald clan. Its sweet taste,
subtle aroma of her skin, the gentle curve of her lips, the intense green of his eyes. He
could not specify the exact moment he recognized, perhaps he had done from the
beginning and refused to believe what his head told him.
Sinjun eyes darkened with rage when she remembered the cold words of your letter
and what little he had told about the death of his son. There were many questions so
few answers.
Why was he with Rudy? What had happened to Cameron Calum? What the hell was
she doing in London?
I needed answers. Sinjun smoothed his clothes and went stumbling toward the house.
As he entered the ballroom through the balcony doors realized he had made a mistake.
Christy would not have returned to the party in the state of disarray in which he was.
Sinjun stood amid the crowd of faces watching him fun, knowing that he had become
the center of attention. Groaned inwardly and looked. His clothes were stained with
grass and covered with loose twigs. The white tie was crooked, his hair disheveled and
his coat unbuttoned. Thank God, he had the sense to buckle up his pants.
The loose fragments of strange conversations followed him on his way to the door: "A
stray bullet.'s Out of control. They should not allow mixing with high society.
Harassment of women. Canalla. Rogue."
Sinjun them little heed as he presented his apologies to the outraged hostess and drove
away.
It was essential to find Christy.

Sinjun got up early the next morning. My head felt twice the size of its actual size and
thick tongue, but never had the mind so clear. Pemburton called, and when the butler
appeared with a bottle and glass on a tray, Sinjun waved good riddance.
"I will not need that this morning, Pemburton. Take care of my bathroom. I have urgent
matters to address.
Although his face remained impassive Pemburton elongated, almost imperceptible
movement of the jaw revealed his shock.
"It's early, sir. It's not like you get up before the sun comes out. Is there a problem?
