Thanks for all the reviews follows and favourites. I did not expect so much for such a short chapter but thanks anyways just to clear things up

Lovingbites,

No, rose's husband is Dimitri but her boyfriend will be introduced later on

Also the story starts 6 months before the prologue.

Chapter 1

Have you ever felt that life has no purpose, that you are only going through the motions and "living" for the people around you and suddenly you see someone smiling at you and calling you and your life does not feel boring anymore. Just the sound of their voice brightens your day and makes that dullness disappear. For Rose, It was Nikolai's smiling face and his chocolate brown eyes just like his father's that made her day. Her whole world brightened when he smiled and laughed. But being away from her son for 2 weeks had taken a toll on Rose but she had to work, so here she was in California, almost two weeks before Christmas away from her family working against a lawsuit where she had no hope of winning. The only thing she could do to save her client was settling and paying a large sum of money. She wanted to keep this lawsuit away from courts at any cost but It was proving to be impossible.

Tired of working her ass off she decided to call Viktoria, her best friend's wife and her HIS baby sister.

"Hey Vika, hows it going?" She said into the phone

"Hi Roza" "Don't call me that" Interrupted Rose. She hated her Russian name, Its what HE called her.

"Sorry, I forgot, and everything is great Nick is out on a boys day out with his uncles and father and Liss and I are here watching movies Disney movies with Leila" She said

"Boys day out, make sure they don't tire him out too much he is just 2 now."

"Rose, he's almost three and they know how to handle him In addition Adrian is there so chill." Somehow that didn't make rose feel any better, she needed to talk to Nikolai herself and hear his voice.

"You know that does not make me feel any better but anyway what are his plans for the night is he staying over at his father's or with one of you?" I asked her even though I knew that HE would be staying with my son for as long as Vika and Adrian allowed because I barely allowed Nikolai to spend the night when I was in the city.

"He is staying with Dimka and Sonya." Said Vika

"Sonya is in the city?" I asked shocked at the mention of her older sister.

"Yeah, she dropped in yesterday and wants to spend time with favourite niece and nephew, Leila is also spending the night at his apartment." Replied Vika.

Now, Rose felt a little better. Sonya was Dimitri's twin sister and also had a daughter of her own. Anya was five years old and never knew her father. Sonya's boyfriend had left when he found out and she was a single mother. She helped Rose a lot and taught her that being a single mother isn't hard if you know what to do. She was very protective of Nick and Rose even more than Dimitri.

"Thank God. Otherwise imagining your brother handling three kids alone is like a nightmare." Rose sighed and laughed at the mental image of Dimitri as a stay at home dad wearing an apron and mittens.

"Okay I'll call you later hakuna-matada is on and Leila and Anya will kill me if they aren't able to watch their favourite song properly."Said Vika before hanging up.

Rose decided to call Adrian now so that she could talk to her son but his phone was off so next she called Christian.

"Hey Big Brother." She said

"Hi Rosie, how are you? How is the case?" He asked her

"I am good and the case is going terribly."

"hey don't worry you're the best out there."

"thanks abi (brother) now tell me where is my son?" Rose asked christian

"He's with Adrian and Dimka at the park."

"And where are you?"

"At the office, A secretary is being unreasonable about payments and she's threatening us."

"What do you mean by threatening you?"

"She is threatening a lawsuit against us but she has no proof so I'm going to look into it and see." Said chris

"keep me posted and take care love you bye." Said Rose before hanging up.

She had no other option but to call Dimitri now. She didn't want to talk to him.

Flashback (RPOV)

"Liss why did you tell me." I whined to Lissa after she told me that "he" was healthy and growing perfectly well. She knew I didn't want to know the sex of my baby but she had to say something

"Sorry Rose, couldn't help myself." She said and started laughing. I was on my 6 month check up and Dimitri was busy with a meeting so he couldn't come.

"Ok I'm leaving now and I'm going to BE office to surprise Dimitri."

I told her and left on the way I texted Chris that I was going to the office and told him not to tell Dimitri anything.

I went up the elevator and saw Mia, Chris and Dimka's common receptionist.

"hey, Mia don't tell him I'm here its a surprise." I told her and winked at her.

"Sure go right in you know the way " She told me.

I opened the door to get the surprise of my life. There was a black haired girl sitting on Dimitri's desk with him between her legs. Both their hair messed up and shirts unbuttoned. I gasped out loud at seeing my husband with another woman while I was carrying his child. I couldn't believe my own eyes. Agony rippled through me and I ran out of the office. Dimitri chased after me but I didn't talk to him.

Two days later I filed for divorce and 3 months later gave birth to my beautiful baby. I want primary custody of Nick and so does he and so we are still fighting and haven't been divorced yet even after almost 3 years.

Rose called Dimitri's number and waited for him to answer the phone.

"Hi, Can I talk to my Son." She said rudely

"Here" He replied and handed the phone to his son without even flinching at his wife's rude tone. Over the years he had gotten used to her rudeness which was specifically reserved for him. He knew that he was wrong so didn't blame her but it did hurt him that he was the reason for her behaviour.

"Mama," Said nick excitedly.

"Dada and Adrian took me to the park." he told his mother before going into details about the perfect day he spent with his father and uncle.

Dimitri just smiled at his son, Nick had his mother's mischievous smile and cute button nose. Nick also had Dimitri wrapped around his finger just like rose did.

"Why are you doing this to yourself and to her?" Said Adrian

"I know you still love her, you haven't been with another woman for the last 3 years and even before that" Said Adrian.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Said Dimitri

"Why are you lying to Rose and having everyone believe you cheated on her when you clearly did not?"

So what do you think, this isn't a typical cheat flick and rose's boyfriend will be introduced to her and to us soon.
