CHAPTER 1 :

Rose's POV :

"Will you ever come on time? Always late ! Last warning... Next time you come late I will fire you" My director, Stan Alto said angrily.

"Sorry sir next time I will come early."

"Now go get ready. Shooting is about to start."

I ran to the dressing room, changed my cloths and went to the stage were the shooting was held.

~After the shooting~

"Late again Rose?" Lissa, my best friend asked me.

"Yup. Getting up in the morning is a very tough job." I said cheekily.

She chuckled. She is one of the friends I can trust. I don't like letting anybody in, because they go and betray my trust. Like my mother did.

~flashback~

"Mom, I am home!" I shouted. When I went into the kitchen where I expected to find her, but instead found a letter. I was 15 at that time. My mom was always very rude to me. But I didn't expect this from her.

Rose,

I am leaving. I am fed up of trying to make you a perfect person and daughter. Take care of yourself. You will never be prefect. And remember, you were not planned. And I regret having you as my daughter, if you want go live with your FATHER!

Your mom.

HOW DARE SHE? IF SHE WANTED ME TO BE A PREFECT DAUGHTER THEN SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PREFECT MOTHER.

My dad.. my UNKNOWN dad ! She wants me to go and stay with him. All the while knowing that I don't know who my father is. BITCH !

~end flashback~

Lissa's parents adopted me. Since I was very small at that time. But then Lissa's parents died in a car accident, Andre adopted us. Since then I never let anyone close to me, except Lissa. She was my rock. My best friend. She appreciates me for who I am.

When I became 18 I rented a apartment 1 km away. At first Andre refused. Then he allowed when he knew that I was as stubborn as him. If not more.

"Liss, I am feeling very hungry" I whined.

She rolled her eyes and took out a apple from her bag. Thanks Liss for always been prepared.

"When are you not?" And threw the Apple to me.

Bitting a large piece I spoke "when I am sleeping I am not hungry"

She rolled her eyes and said " Rose I have to go, Christian is picking me up."

"Ok, bye girly. See you tomorrow" Christian is Lissa's boyfriend. We both love bickering with each other, and though everyone thinks that we hate each other, he is like a brother to me. Don't tell anyone I said that.

"Hi Rosie."

"DO NOT call me Rosie. Chrissy!" I said happily.

He glared at me and I glared back at him. Lissa broke our little glaring contest. "Okay Christian it's getting late. You don't want to be late for the movie don't you? Let's go. Bye Rose" she said, pulling him towards the door.

"Bye Liss, bye Chrissy. Have fun." I said smiling. He turned and and glared at me. Liss nudged home and gave him a breath taking smile. He melted into her graze. I rolled my eyes. They both were so love smitten by each other that they made me jealous. Am I designed to be alone?

Sighing I went home.

"Rose, when are you going to pay the rent bill?" My house owner, Yuri asked.

"Yuri I will pay it as soon as possible."

"Okay I am giving you one more chance. Pay it within 20 days"

"Yeah, I will pay it."

Damn. I forgot about the rent bill. I don't even have money for that.

Damn you stan.. Why do you have to cut some money from my salary every time I am late?

Dimitri POV:

I am a rich business man. I own many companies.

But I keep my identity a secret. They know me, Dimitri Belikov as name, no face. I don't like the media.

It can be very dangerous. I have everything a man would want.

Yet I feel that there is nobody who understands me better than I can. And I am yet to find her. I just wish i find her soon. I need someone to keep me sane.

~the next day~

"Ivan do you know who lives in this house?"

"Yes, a girl named Rose Hathaway lives here and she is a actress. She works for small ads."

"Okay, make sure to go and talk to her. I need this place."

"Okay Dimka I will go to her job place and talk to her."

A/N : Sooo... Will Rose be able to pay the rent bill? Will Rose give the house to Dimitri? Review and let me know! =D
