Okay here's another chapter! Ya I know I haven't updated in FOR-EV-ER but here you go!

It had been 4 hour since I had received the note. I had just gotten off the plane when a young man came up to me.

"Miss Hathaway, I presume." He had a Russian accent but it was no where near as cute as Dimitri's. Also I hated his guts. He was working for the man who made me leave my home and my loved ones.

"Yes."

"The car is waiting Miss. Also I am very sorry to hear that you have been so unfortunate to be caught in Lord Victor's evil web." Okay so maybe he wasn't all that bad. "I will be your butler, your shofer, and your bodyguard."

"I can take care of myself."

"Yes Miss, but Lord Victor insisted. He want's to keep you safe. He says that you have a high bounty on your head and the only reason he took you away was to keep Miss Vailisa safe as well. He said that together you two were the greatest treasure to be killed he wanted you apart and safe."

"That's a load of BULL-SHIT!"

"Yes Miss I know. That's just what he's saying to make himself look good. Thought I have now idea what his true motives are."

"Thank you," I said honestly. "What's your name?"

"Nicholas Novikov."

"Hmm...I think I'll call you just Nick."

"Of course Miss."

We has just pulled up to the house and I stepped out to see-WHOA! A huge fucking house. No wrong word. Mansion is more like it!

"Nick," I squeaked, "Who's house is this?"

"Yours Miss" he said smiling.

I ran inside only to find I pretty young lady.

Nick came up behind me and said, "This is our maid. Her name is Aleksandra."

"Who so you do Miss?"

"Fine. Thank you." Nick took my suitcase and showed me to my room. It was a huge master suite. So cool!

"Aley, Can you please run me a bath?" Did I mention the bathroom was huge too! The tube was so big it could fix me, Lissa, Mason, Eddie, Mia, Adrian, Dimitri, AND a fat kid!

"Of course," she said with a smile. She disappeared into the bathroom.

"So Miss, its late so you best be off to bed after your bath." Nick wasn't old but he was still old enough to tell me what to do. He looked like 27 and Aley about 25. "Breakfast is served at 10a.m. in the garden, lunch is at noon on the veranda, and dinner is at 6:30p.m. in the dinning room. 'Aley' will wake you at 9:30a.m. and get your clothes ready. She shall also prepare you a bath at 10:30p.m. and put out your nightgown. Then bed is at 11p.m. If your good 11:30 and on holidays 12:30. Bad behavior will result in punishment and cause you to be put to bad early and with out dinner. Those are the rules weather you like them or not. Good night Miss." Then without another word he left and closed the door behind him.

Oh joy! Note the sarcasm.

"Miss your bath is ready. Here is all the soaps and scrubs, your towels are here, and when your done just pull this lever here to drain the water. When you get out your bed will be turned down and your nightgown at the foot of it. The hamper is next to the dresser which I will get every morning. Good night Miss." Then she left as well.

Maybe this wasn't as great as I thought.

After getting out of the bath and changed I got into my huge bed. It seems like everything i huge in this house. Now I know how Alice felt when she drank the liquid that shrunk her. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Then I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

"Ahhhh!" I yelled when Aley opened the curtains on me to reveal a bright sun.

"Time to get up Miss. Here are your clothes. Be downstairs by 9:50 or you'll be in wicked trouble." Then she left. I got up and looked at me clothes. She had left me a white V-neck Sundress, white high heels, and a white sun hat. Its just a guess but a think the theme is white. The dress hugged my curves perfectly and flared out at the skirt. I can just below my knees. The shoes where plain and simple, but elegant. The hat, well it was a hat. After I was dressed I brushed my hair and put on eyeliner, mascara, and clear lip gloss. "Minty!" I said to myself. I finally made it down stairs with a minute to spare.

"Cutting it close aren't we Miss."

"What can I say? I live on the wild side."

"No quite the contrary. We live in one of the safest neighborhoods in Baia." I looked at her with disbelief.

"Its called sarcasm Sweetie."

"Oh," she said embarrased.

"Don't worry I will teach you my ways." She smiled. We continued to walk to breakfast when she started talking again.

"Miss I hope you don't mind but we have guests today. That's why your dresses so proper today. They're having breakfast with us." We finally go to the garden table and I saw seven people. Four women, a teenage girl, a young boy, and a baby girl. One of the two young women was pregnant, the other was holding the baby. Out of the two others one was middle-aged and the other was elderly and looked very scary.

"Miss this is Oleana, Yeva, Sonya, Karolina, Viktoria, Paul, and Zoya." Then she turned to them. "Belikov Family this is my Mistress. She is Miss Rose Hathaway."

We all stared at each other with wide eyes I knew who they were and they knew who I was.
