Chapter One
Adrian was sitting in one of the Courts bars. It's been a couple of weeks now that Rose has been cleared of murder charges and was now Lissa's guardian on the Royal Guard. It's also been the saddest couple of weeks of Adrian's life, well since the day of his aunt's murder, was the day when Rose left him for Dimitri. Not only did his aunt and the love of his life leave him, but he learns that he is Lissa's brother and his mother was the one who killed Tatiana and set up Rose.
Now here he was sitting at the bar smoking and drinking vodka, while watching the love of his life kissing another man. There sat Rose and Dimitri in the corner table holding hands and kissing. Dimitri's aura was bright red showing nothing but love, but Rose's aura wasn't as red, hers showed love, but there was something off with hers. While staring at Rose she happened to look up and we locked eyes. Her aura pulsed for a second and then her eyes looked so sad and regretful. She quickly looked away looking sad and hurt but Adrian couldn't ponder this right now. All he knew, to keep his pain away,was that he needed to drink shot after shot of vodka.
Dimitri and Rose got up to leave. Adrian pulled out another cigarette and lit it while still watching Rose. Dimitri grabbed hold of Rose's hand and led her out of the bar but Rose gave one more quick look at Adrian and he could swear he saw a tear falling from Rose's beautiful eyes and then they were gone. Adrian thought he saw Rose's aura shining red when she looked at him but he was pretty sure that was the alcohol messing with his head and there was no mistake that Rose loved Dimitri more than him.
RPOV
I was having a good night out with Dimitri. My best friend and Queen, Lissa, gave me the night off so Dimitri and I could reconnect. We were sitting in a quiet corner at one of the Court's bar. We were laughing & kissing. All of a sudden I felt like I was being watched, so I started looking around and finally saw who was staring at me. I was looking into the most beautiful Emerald green eyes I have ever seen. My heart started to flutter, but then I remembered that I chose another man who was not Adrian. He looked so sad that it was breaking my heart all over again. I can't believe I hurt Adrian the way I did. He was there for me through everything, he was my wall, my strength but yet I chose to give him up over Dimitri, the man who was my soul mate, my true love, the man who gets me, but Adrian also gets me.
I do love Adrian, how could I not? He is one of the most gorgeous men I have ever met. But Dimitri was my Russian god. The one I am suppose to be with, especially after everything I went through to get him back.
I look away from Adrian I can't stand to see the hurt in his eyes, the hurt that I caused. I tell Dimitri that I'm ready to leave. I'm starting to feel really tired. Dimitri grabs my hand and I give one more quick look over at Adrian who was ordering another drink and lighting another cigarette. As he told me when I broke his heart the contract was now null and void.
