Description:What if Chocolat was never their to save Satine from the Duke, and the Duke was successful in taking advantage of Satine. Would Satine and Christian be able to get past it and still love each other? Would there love truly stand any obstacle that came their way? Or is there something that even Christian can't forgive.(Another MR Fan Fic where Satine never had consumption.)

Disclaimer: I own nothing in this fan fiction. :-(

An Incident ThatCan Not Be Forgotten

Satine's heart started breaking. She could see the pain in her lover's eyes as the duke caressed her neck with kisses. Tears started forming in her eyes. She didn't wantChristian to see this. She couldn't bare the look he was giving her. A look full of betrayal and hurt. Satine never wanted to hurt Christian, but she was doing it all for him. She didn't want the duke to find out about their relationship and ruin Christian's career.

To ease his pain, she sang softly to him from the balcony of the gothic tower. "Come what may. Come what may. I will love you 'til my dying day." He continued to stare at her. She could see in his eyes that he understood what she was trying to tell him.

Christian looked from Satine's face to the ground. He knew he should leave. He knew that she was doing all of this for him, but he wanted so much to go up to her and save her from that monster's grasp. But he couldn't. He had to trust her. He had to believe that she was doing the right thing, even though his heart kept telling him a totally different thing.

Christian started to walk away. Satine watched as her love moved further and further away from her. Her heart couldn't take it any more. She was sick of lying to everyone about her true feelings. Christian was the only person she could ever tell anything true to. He would never judge her or dislike her for her feelings. He would just smile and listen to every word she had to say. That was one of the things she loved most about him. He would always love her no matter what.

Satine couldn't do this to him. She couldn't sleep with the Duke. She continued to watch Christian as he walked away.

"No," Satine said out loud, regretting it immediately after saying it.

The Duke lifted his head after hearing her remark. He became confused and looked into Satine's eyes. They were filled with fear. What could have happened to make her stop him from showing her affection? The Duke then got his answer as he saw that idiot of a writer walking down the street. He looked back at Satine, and saw that she was looking down at the writer too. He was filled with complete anger.

"Oh I see. That old penniless sitar player," the Duke stated mockingly.

Satine realized what she had done. She started breathing heavily, then left the balcony and went inside. She had to talk to the Duke. Explain to him what she truly felt. He may even appreciate her honesty, she thought to herself. Becoming less nervous, Satine turned around prepared to talk calmly to the Duke, and try to reason with him.

As Satine turned around, she saw the Duke enter from the balcony and shut the doors behind him. His face was cold and filled with anger. She had to explain the truth to him and tell him straight out about how much she loves Christian.

"Dear Duke …," Satine started to say, but was then cut off by the Duke's fierce grip on her wrists. The Duke's grip was so strong that it started to hurt Satine's wrists. She started to bend down on her knees in agony.

"SILENCE! You made me believe that you loved me."

"No," Satine whispered in terror and pain.

The Duke looked from Satine's fear filled eyes to her neck where she was wearing the million dollar diamond necklace that he had given her that night. He would not let her have it now. He gave it to her to show her how much he felt for her, and now it disgusted him that he even thought about wanting to share his life with her. She was nothing but a whore. And for that fact he wanted to be repaid for all she had done to him. He wanted her to sleep with him, even if he had to force her to do so.

The Duke removed one of his hands from Satine's wrist and moved it toward her neck. He ripped of the necklace and through Satine to the ground. Satine quickly got up from the marble floor and dashed towards the door. The Duke ran after her and grabbed her before she could reach the door.

The Duke turned Satine around so that she was facing him, and started ripping off her dress until all Satine was wearing was a corset. The Duke through Satine onto the bed and started to undress himself. Satine couldn't believe what was happening. She never knew how evil the Duke really was. Tears streamed down her face. She was so terrified. She wished that Christian would just burst through the door and save her from this mad man.

The Duke removed his pants then mounted Satine, holding her wrists as he undressed her even more. Satine started screaming for help and pleading with the Duke to stop. He wouldn't listen. He just smiled and continued to fulfill his dark deed.

Suddenly, Satine felt a powerful thrust and an agonizing pain in her lower abdomen. There was nothing she could do now. It was too late. Even if someone did hear her scream and tried to help her, the Duke had already won.

Tears continued to stream down her face. She had never known so much pain. Not only physical pain, but emotional pain as well. Satine couldn't stop thinking about Christian. If only he knew what was happening to her. He would save her from this terrible nightmare and try to comfort her.

Satine could feel more and more pain. The pain was excruciating. Satine couldn't take the pain anymore. Darkness started to take over her eyes until she finally went unconscious, and fainted from the pain. As she slipped into darkness, her last thoughts were of Christian.
