Their antagonism was instant and mutual.

Simon Herries was dominating and arrogant, and readily jumped to the wrong conclusions about India. "You don't know me," she stated, "yet you accuse me of trying to steal someone else's husband!"

At the time it proved an effective solution, but when his scheme backfired, India was left to face a future of heartbreak and unhappiness.
