Harry knew it. Zayn would never hurt him. He would never even look at another woman or man. If Rose had dared to lie to him, Harry would have choked the truth out of her. 

As relieved as he was, he was also confused. What did Rose mean by services? As if it was her job. Harry had heard once that some women sold themselves, or were sold by other people. Was Rose that kind of woman? 

Were someone forcing her to do this? And why did she go to Zayn if he didn't buy her services? 

He turned to Zarin, who looked shocked. His gaze hardened as he looked at Rose. "Why are you lying?" He asked her. "Then why did he pay you?" 

Pay?

Harry turned to Rose, who remained calm. 

"No man has ever denied me, so I tried to pursue him because I didn't want to go back and tell everyone that a man denied me. My reputation depended on it. Lord Zayn payed me handsomely just to be rid of me. He said he didn't want his Lord to misunderstand him." She explained then she turned to Harry. "You must be him. You are a lucky man." 

Suddenly Zarin grabbed her arm harshly, causing her to grimace. "He made you say this, didn't he? How much did he pay you? What did he offer you to lie?" He shook her violently. 

"Zarin, what are you doing?" Harry pushed him away, appalled by his actions. 

Zarin was fuming with anger. "Harry. She told me something else in the beginning. He probably compelled her to lie. Don't you see what he is doing?" His voice was getting louder. 

Harry turned to Rose. "Are you alright?" 

She nodded, looking down. 

"I did lie in the beginning, My Lord. I was just protecting my reputation. I didn't know I was part of a game." 

"What game?" Harry asked. 

Rose slowly lifted her gaze and looked at Zarin. 

Slowly, the pieced started to fall into place. "Did Zarin send you to him?" Harry asked, despite already knowing the anser. 

Rose lift her eyes and set them on Zarin, not answer the question.

"Yes. I did send her, but she is lying. I knew he would…" Zarin began to talk behind her, but Harry wasn't listening anymore. 

Harry couldn't believe it. It felt like the world around him stopped for a moment and when it began to move again; he was burning. It felt like he was set on fire. 

"Go back in!" Harry told Rose. 

"Where are you sending her? She needs to tell the truth. She…"  .

Harry turned to him and glared at him furiously. Zarin stopped and looked at him warily. 

"Harry. I only did that for your sake. Listen to…"

"Stop!" Harry yelled, surprising him. 

Zarin looked at him wide eyed. 

"Who are you?" Harry then asked. 

Hearing her question Zarin looked confused.
