When Mr Harold arrived at James place he was shocked to see a lady in early twenties.

She was pale white,delicate as a petal of rose .She was the sweetest thing he ever saw.With hazel eyes and golden hair.First time in his life Mr Harold felt drawn towards someone.

She was the sitting in the first row during trials .He didn't expect her to see here.Along her were Mr and Mrs Willson.

The way Miss Willson saw her he knew she adored her.The unlucky couple never had child of there own.

Mr Harold had professional ties with Mr Willson and even if he didn't agree he was one who supported him a common orphan.He never really visited the old man but he respected him alot.

He hold her hand and kissed it,"May I know your name?My lady."

"Son of bitch ! Who knocked some sense in you? Pity I never knew a gentleman hid behind that ruthless man.",snorted Mr Willson

"Its Rosalind ,Sir and we will be forever in your debt for saving my fiance. " replied Rosalind ignoring the Old man." You can call me Rose."

Mr Harold was floating in clouds never had he heard such a sweet voice.It was almost like ringing,melodious music. Rose highly appropriate name.Suddenly he noticed what she had said

" Fiance!!" He felt a hard pang in his chest and he swore he heard his heart shatter to pieces.

" Yes Sir, without being drunk even I was baffled for a second between you and James."
"Call me Harry ,Its my pleasure My lady." Her eyes twiched disapproving .
"Sorry Rose ."now she smiled

An evil thought crossed his mind even shocking him , I must have lost .

James arrived from some work,"Sorry to keep you all waiting let's start with dinner"
What did this idiot had to do anyway to keep such a lovely lady waiting.

As the dinner progressed and drinks were served.He learned more about the young couple.Mrs Willson was Rosalind's mentor and looked after her from age of 5 .Why he never saw her before was mystery. He presumed foul play on behalf of old man.James on other side was son of Mr Willson's friend and was under his care.


Mr Harold later saw romance brooming in eyes of young couple when it struck him he was no longer young.This couple had gone through so much to be together.How could he be so selfish. He swore to himself in times of need he would do all within his power to help this people.

He just never knew that time would be coming too soon.

Until then there was no harm in being the smug person he was. He would still try flirting with Rose.

His visits to Mr James and Rose went on increasing
And he was just wondering what made James win over the Heart of young Rose
