"What did you do to Roza?"

"Whose Roza?" Damn Adrian pissed me off. He was so self-assured and way to over-confident.

"You know who I'm talking about Ivashkov. Now, what did you do?" We were sitting in my office. I like this office. It was big enough for me to put in a T.V and my Xbox. I normally played on it when I had no work to do. I am a busy person but sometimes I don't want to do any work and send it off to my employees. This was a part of my legal work. I had to put something on the taxes. I wasn't going to be stupid enough to not play them. If I was going to be arrested it would be for something I actually did myself. Adrian was an employee from the not so legal side of my life. After my father died I was put in charge of the family business. We ran everything from extortion to even murder if we had to. We lived on the top of the world, had the police in our back pocket and the feds had no idea who we were. I had closed loose ends that my father had left opened, like killing the guy who shot him. It was an easy enough job, the guy didn't hide. In fact he was flaunting it around the bar I was in. He kept going on about how he single-handedly took down the Belikov leader. He was getting on my nerves.

"Ah yes, Rosemary Hathaway. That sweet thing that keeps rejecting you. I did nothing. Agapov and Grishin on the other hand..." I rolled my eyes. Those two would do anything you told them if you paid them enough. I noticed that Grishin didn't listen to much today and complained of a sore ear. Did Roza do something?
"What did those idiots do this time?"

"They broke into her house and she threatened them with a gun." Wow, Roza is a little spit fire.

"What did she do to Grishin?"

"She fired a warning shot right passed his ear. Almost defend the idiot." He chuckled at the mental image.

"You can't do that Adrian, I'm trying not to scare her off."

"Why Dimitri? She has told you she doesn't want you, so why are you trying so hard?" That was a good question I never tried so hard to get a girl. If a girl brushed me off I usually went on the next one but Roza was different. There was a mystery surrounding her. I knew the name Hathaway but I couldn't put my finger on it. I tried searching her in the computer system but nothing unusual came up except that her father was never listed on her birth certificate, but that could mean her mother never knew her father.

"Shes...different. I like her. She isn't hiding behind anything, its new to me." He sighed.

"You like the chase Dimitri. When you get her you will drop her in 6 months. Trust me."

"Your wrong. I will admit I like the chase but there is something else."

"Whatever man. I'm gonna go. I'll see you later."

"Wait, If you ever do anything to Roza again I will personally chop off your dick. Understand?' He gulped. My threats were never empty. I always followed through with them. He walked, more like sprinted, out of my office. I chuckled. I needed to call mama. She might be getting scared about me not calling her in two weeks.

"Алло? Это Елена"

"Hello mama."

"DIMKA! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"

"Nice to hear from you too mama"

"Dont give me that. Your job is dangerous, you could have been killed!" After dad died she moved back to Russia. She wanted to get away from it all. I would have sent her back anyway. No woman should be put in the middle of my life, funny thing I would do that to Roza so easily.

"I'm fine mama. You don't need to worry about me."

"I will always worry until you finish with that job of yours or until you find another woman to worry about you and give me grandchildren." I laugh at her statement, she always wanted me to bring home a nice girl, I just never seem to find her until now.

"I may have found her mama. Her name is Roza." I could tell she was happy.

"When do I met Roza?"

"When she accepts my date invitation. She is being stubborn."

"Just wait for her to come to you. You're a handsome man Dimka, don't become to cocky." I hated it when my mother says words like cocky. Its disturbing. Brings back images of when I walked into her room when I was 7 and caught her and dad being intimate.

"Yes mama. Tell Sonya I say hello. I havent spoke to her in a long time and I miss her."

"You called 5 minutes to late. She just left to get food for the week"

"Darn, tell her I called though. I need to go and work. I'll chat later mama. Love you"

"Love you too Dimka." She hung up the phone. I hated when she would hang up after dad died, it made me feel farther away from them, but now I know she needs to get on with her life. I heard a knocking on my door and saw Mr. Mazur open it. He was a funny man. Leader of the Turkish mob, married but nobody knows who to. He wore a purple scarf and his usual piercings. He looked odd, but he would kill you with a single shot without question if you crossed him. He was loyal and we needed to join the families together to create a stong unity against the Strigoi army. The Strigoi are the Romanian mob. There are three 'Families' in Montana. The Mazur's, The Belikov's, and the Strigoi. The Mazur family are Turkish and have close ties to the mafia in Turkey. The Belikov's, my family, were the strongest in the past but since my father died we were diminishing in numbers. Some believing I was to young to take over. Some having being kicked out for not being loyal. The Strigoi were trouble. The killed whoever wasnt theirs. They needed to be stopped.

"Mr. Mazur, how can I help you on this fine day?"

"We need to talk about business. I recently gave away a substantial amount of money for a girl and need you to hide it from my wife. If she found out I did this she would kill me personally. I don't want my men knowing I had this done. It gives them leverage over me." I nodded.

"Who is this girl? A fling?" He glares at me.

"No, my daughter." He has a daughter?!

"Since when did you create offspring?"

"21 years ago, that's my business thank you very much Belikov. I thought Olena raised you better than that."

"That she did, but I don't accidentally want to hit on your child. Dont want to face your wrath." It's a good thing this man can take a joke.

"No, you don't. It should be a lesson to treat 21-year-old girls right and not to sexually harass them in public. I saw you at the bar with that girl, don't do what 17-year-old me did and get a young girl pregnant. That's not why I married my wife, I married her because I love her. I still do after 18 years of marriage." I smiled. It's good to see a man who still loves his wife after 18 years. I know many men who get bored after 3.

"Send your wife my thank you for letting you realise that warning was needed. So how much is needed to be hidden?"

"$1,350,000. I made sure the real estate agent told her which place would be suitable for her and Lissa."

"Ok, I'll set it up for you. Will be done in ten minutes." I called my accountant and he said he would do it.

"Done. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Nope that's it for now, anything you need?"

"Yea there is. Can you find me any information on Rose Hathaway?" He seemed conflicted.

"I don't know Belikov, why do you need information on her?"

"I want to get to know her. I am infatuated with her. She is beautiful and witty. She always knows what to say. I have only met her once or twice and she doesn't seem to want anything to do with me." He laughed.

"Yea, I'll let you know if I find anything." I hoped he would keep his word.

"Alright then. I will see you tomorrow with at the meeting with Nathan." He nodded at me and went on his way. When the door closed I sighed and sunk into my chair. It had been a long day, but now there is the added hope of knowing more about Roza.

RPOV

Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.
Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do...

Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

I was packing up my things and singing Led Zeppelin as I went. Lissa was waiting for me in the living room. I knew she loved this song. Whenever I played it she always hummed along. She didn't believe in her own singing voice. It was lovely, she was just put down one to many times about it and never believed anyone else.

Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone.
Although I helped you drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On.

I was almost finished packing. When I heard clapping behind me. I turned my head and saw Abe standing behind me.

"Hello old man Mazur. How can I help you today?"

"How do you feel about Belikov?"

"Wow, that was direct."

"Its a simple question. How do you feel about Dimitri Belikov?" I sighed.

"I don't know. He seems pretty cocky and he knows how to get what he wants. I think the only reason he wants me to work for him is so he can perv at me and because I keep saying no. I don't want him to be another Jesse in disguise." He nodded.

"Rose, I know you have figured out what I do for a living in order to give you the money for your new place. Its nice by the way. Anyway he is in the same business I am, just an opposing group. We are forming an alliance against a rival gang. I went to talk to him today about hiding the money I gave you from your mother and he asked if I could look into your past. I questioned it at first and asked him of his intentions. He likes you Rose. He wants to get to know you." I nodded. I knew I was just kidding myself. He was a great guy, but how would he react when he found out my dad was Zmey.
