  	Storming angrily from her house, Hugo finds a strange stowaway aboard his carriage.

  	They are then married in a quiet ceremony in the Duke’s private Chapel.
  	It is only when Janeta saves him from death by poisoning by the hand of her stepmother that the Duke realises that he has been in love with her from the moment he first saw her. 
  	But surely the scorned Olive’s fury will ensure their love is doomed before it can blossom.
