I'm so happy that you guys continued to read this story even after I updated after ages so I'm posting this shapter early. I really want to thank all of you for reviewing,favoriting, following and reading.

I wanted to clear something up: Dimitri and Rose don't recognize each other because the last time he saw her she was only 4 and now she's about nineteen and no longer the little kid he left behind.

Also, check out the poll on my profile because updating 4 stories isn't working out for me. I'm not saying that I'm not going to update the other stories at all but the updates will be few and far.

And FINALLY, I will zip my mouth and let you'll read :D

Waking up to the sun glaring at her wasn't really the best way to wake up and Rose was seriously considering getting curtains. The sun seemed to taunt her because it suddenly started to shine more brightly than ever. Cursing and groaning, she got out of the bed as quickly as she could as her eyes fell on the watch at her bedside. Shit she had only half an hour to make it till Ivan arrived. Stubbing her toe on her way and cursing her bed she stretched and made her was to the bathroom where she examined the bags under her eyes with horror. How was she supposed to go to a wedding looking like this?

If she didn't need the money, she would have gladly refused Ivan's offer. the last thing she wanted to do today was attend a snobbish asshole's wedding. What if someone recognized her or knew where she worked. She knew how Dimitri's rich guests would behave and she really didn't need it. She was exhausted physically from yesterday. Another thing that tugged at her ming was the fact that if Nathan found that she had been hanging with the rich crowd, he would charge her double and she wasn't looking forward to that. Her mind then flew to what Nathan had done when she had been unable to pay him 3 months ago.

He had forced 5 men onto her and sold her like a whore and had pocketed all the money she had earned. If there was one thing Rose was afraid of, it was Nathan because he knew how to make all the fears come alive. She washed and brushed her teeth and hair as quickly as she could manage and dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a T shirt. It was the most decent thing she owned and she didn't have the time to doll up. She flew down the stairs and chocked on her own spit when she spotted a limo waiting for her. At first she was excited and then she wanted to snip (not chop) Ivan's balls off,in the most painful method possible.

A limo in her area was as common as a rainbow in a desert, pandas in Arabia and blueberries in chocolate chip ice-cream. Could he have found a more attention grabbing ride? She knew that the whole neighborhood would be eager to gossip about who was getting into the limo and she didn't need to deal with that. She sprinted as quickly as she could towards the limo, almost tripping over her own legs in the process. the chauffeur seemed alarmed at her sprint as he opened the door for her but he didn't say a word because the girl seemed to match the description he was given. Inside the car, she spotted a paper bag with a sandwich and two doughnuts and a coffee. She sniffed the doughnuts appreciatively before practically inhaling them as she spotted a note.

I thought you might be hungry. Just relax and don't worry, Miles will drop you off where you need to get dressed and try and catch some sleep in the mean time.

-Ivan

Rose tried sleeping for a while but the coffee and chocolate doughnuts made her ounce in her seat like a kid on Christmas morning and as couldn't help but fiddle with everything in the limo. She had an urge to tap the driver and ask when they would be arriving but then she didn't need to be kicked out of the limo in the middle of nowhere. Finally, all the activity exhausted her because by the time the doors opened, she had fallen asleep.

She thought that she was dreaming as she got out and stood in front of a humongous mansion with a faux waterfall at the main entrance. the were green lawns at either side and Rose could hear a dog barking somewhere. She was led into the house by the butler and her jaw dropped as she examined the house. Suddenly out of nowhere a face popped in front of her and Rose nearly screamed. There was a girl of about twenty-two bouncing on her feet like she had been fed a kilo of sugar.

"Hi, you must be the entertainment Ivan promised me yesterday. I'm Melissa by the was and I'm Ivan's twin. You look terrible by the way especially with those bags under your eyes, Ivan told me about where you work and I'm guessing it must be really stressful but you don't have to worry. I'll run a bath and you just need to get your sexy tushy in the tub and then I'll fix your hair which is really pretty by the way and I'll do your make up and get you in your dress." She squeezed Rose's ass once as she spoke.

Rose began to panic, was Ivan's sister a lesbian, was she a lesbian's new play-toy. " Are you a lesbian?" Rose blurted out before she could stop herself. She regretted it immediately but Melissa didn't seem offended.

"I don't think I'm a lesbian but a hot chick like you could make anyone a lesbian." Rose was shocked, this chick was really really creepy. And bossy and hyper. She forced Rose into the bathroom and called a maid to help Rose was her hair. Rose was forced into a tub with vanilla smelling bubbles as a maid washed and conditioned and scrubbed her body.

By the time she had wrapped a towel around herself, Rose was annoyed at being pushed. Something about Melissa brought back memories of an old friend Rose had lost.

Flashback

Rose stood in Alberta's room as the old lady tried to tell Rose to behave.

"Rose I'm not going to be here forever, I'm going to be gone very soon. Try not to get kicked out of every single foster home I get you settled in. I know something really bad is going to happen and I want you to promise me that you'll take care of yourself and Vasilisa." Rose didn't tell Alberta the real reason she never stuck in any house for too long. Someone had promised to come and get her and she needed to be here before he came.

Alberta had been right, a month later she died a mysterious death and there was no clue left behind. A cruel man named Victor became the owner of the orphanage and he abused all the children sexually and physically. Rose had managed to collect some money before Alberta's death.

One night, when everyone was asleep, she snuck up to a boy named Christian. She handed him the money and an escape plan and she forced them to run away together. She knew that Christian would take care of her friend. She was sure. Lissa struggled and pleaded Rose to join them but Rose refused. She had to wait here till her 14th birthday. She didn't have a choice. That was the last she saw of her friend.

The next day Rose was questioned, whipped and starved but she never said a word about their whereabouts. she had fulfilled Alberta's promise.

Rose blinked back to the present as tears started to prickle her eyes. That was the past, she shouldn't think about it now she scolded herself
