Devils Cub Part V

Leonie sets off to go to Paris with Rupert as escort. She tells him that if Mary is respectable, she feels that Dominic has compromised her and must marry her, but she does not really want him to marry a girl from such a family. In Paris, Frederick meets Juliana but they quarrel because he does not know how to manage her flirty ways, and they have an argument. Frederick asks Mary to marry him then, because it will save her from having to marry Dominic. She is afraid of marrying DOminic because she feels he does not love her and it will not work out, and such a marriage would probably alienate him from his family. She agrees to the marriage but tells Frederick that they must get away and go at once to Dijon where there is apparently an English clergyman travelling with a young gentleman... who can marry them. She is aware of how Alpha Male Dominic is, and knows that he will not easily let her go even if he does not really want to marry her. She and Frederick leave Paris, but Dominic, with Juliana follows them. He catches them up and Frederick tells him that he and Mary are already married, and Dominic challenges him to a duel. Mary feeling desperate runs away, and meets Justin who has followed his wife to France. He tells her that even if he disapproved of the marriage he would never abandon his son, and that he feels that Mary is too good for Vidal. He and Mary hasten to Dominic and Justin tells him that he will put it out that he has agreed to the marriage, and they can be married quietly in Paris. Mary asks Dominic if he really wants to marry her and he says that he does love her, but he wont inflict himself on her, unless she agrees. Mary laughs at this and they confess their love for each other. Juliana and Frederick are reconciled and plan to marry, and Rupert drinks a toast to Dijon.
