With Linda dead Matthews would definitely come across his plan earlier than he wanted.

Mr Harold had no choice but to burn down the Ray Estates to throw the Jacks of trail . With heavy heart he started torching the curtains in every corridor.

There was a huge confusion under which he was able to take his people to safety.

The cat and mouse race had already started his Carriages were run all along the alley towards the border post .To add to confusion he added 6 empty carriage so the Jacks were confused which one to follow.

"You know after this there is no turning back once we are in the final stage."sighed Alberto

Always the loving brother I had I nodded."Greater achievement are obtained only When you take greater risks."

Rosalind was in Matthews office

"Child I am not a monster you think.I am just a man blindly in love with my wife.I am trying to make her human after all she has gone through. I will allow you to talk with James. I will even allow a safe passage through France."

Thank you was all she could reply she kept herself calm and restrained

She broke down at sight of James

James-Hey beautiful.
Rose- Hey.
James - Just promise me one thing.
Rose - yes I am bond to a dead man's wish anything you want
James - marry Harold as soon as you reach France I am sure no one can take better care of you than him
Rosalind wanted to protest but she gave him a word and time was up

Time at night 12.00

The three carriage behind the border
were restless they were to leave hours ago but Alberto and Harold had not shown up.

From the darkness behind border one man in shiny Red armour was carrying other.

Mr Willson was worried "Alberto what happened to Harold."

Alberto had a deep gash near head but he was least concerned about that he was weeping for Harold ."We were ambushed leave now he can explain everything later."saying this he dropped Harold's body in the carriage.

Rosalind felt betrayed Matthews had lied to her.She checked Harold had weak pulse .

She would never forgive herself if something happened to this man.James soul would never forgive
her.

"NO no no don't you die on me."

At that moment Harold stirred opened his eyes still confused of his surrounding.

Rosalind starred in his eye and hot stream of tears began to flow down continuously

HAROLD.
