Chapter 27. DPOV

It had been a stressful couple of weeks, that was saying it calmly too. Stressful didn't even begin to describe how I felt. I was awful. I had work up to my neck, I had an assistant who even though I gave restrictions to, still kept on coming up to my floor. The death of my father and the non existent presence of my sisters weighed on my shoulders and then there was Rose.

Rose.

My beautiful wife, who still even though I got mad, or stressed still stood by my side without complaint. For a nineteen year old, she was much more mature than one would think but then again age was just a number right? Just because I was 23 did not mean I was more capable of holding my emotions back, in our case she was the one who could remain calm.

Today she would probably be stressed out, I wanted to be with her when she went to the doctor to see how her hand was, unfortunately for me I couldn't be the supportive husband she needed in her life, and she had to go alone. I knew she would be okay though, from what she had told me it wasn't too severe, but stupid me, If I had just controlled my anger than none of this would of happened with her.

Sighing I brought myself to back to reality and stared at my desk full of the papers. I had so many contracts to go over and to be signed. Deadlines were due, and some faster than others. As well as payroll, the company had a decline in business and employee cuts had to be made, and of course, I was the one who had to go through the names and do the cuts. It sucked but something that came with the position.

Rubbing my face, I picked up my phone to see a text message from Rose. Smiling I typed back, she would be coming to pick me up at 5. I couldn't wait to go home with her. Feeling a bit more awake and aware, I started flipping through the papers and documents, signing my name and stapling papers together, I started putting them to the other side of my desk. A knock on the door took me out of my trance but only made me want to poke my eyes out when I saw who it was.

Motioning her forward I took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself, the door opened. "Mia, I told you that you cant be up here. You agreed to a contract to stay on the fourth floor, and not be on the seventh." She went to open her mouth but I put my hand up noticing the papers in her hand.

"Do you have something for me?" I asked curious to the envelope in her hands. She gave a grin. " Yes, actually I do. I have a contract here for you Mr. Belikov something that needs to be sent right away. " She gave nod of her head and was eager for me to sign them. Suddenly my life got very hectic, my phone was going off, and then one of my co-workers Mikahil walked in.

"Dimka, theres a meeting that was just called, we need to leave for the conference center right now." He told me. Putting my hand up I took the call.

"Belikov speaking?" I asked waiting for the person to speak.

"Mr Beliov I have to discuss…" Ten minutes later I was finally off the phone with a manager of a different department. I couldn't even focus on what they were saying, employee conflict isn't that their department? I didn't have time for things like that. If they were asking permission to fire someone I wasn't going to deal with that at the moment.

Standing up I looked at my watch and grimaced. Rose would be here soon and now I had to do this stupid meeting. If my council had proposed it then I was needed to discuss the partnerships, probably one that a deal had gone through or did not. Grabbing my jacket, I turned seeing Mia standing there.

"Yes Mia?" I asked her irritated slightly, like, why was she still here? "Sir I need your signature, now." She asked handing the paper slid out of the envelope to reveal the signature line. "What's this for?" I asked scribbling my signature down, not even bothering to read it. I just didn't have the time anymore.

"Just a contract to send out to Ivashkov Inc. The deadline is tomorrow morning so I just needed to catch you before you left. Thanks for your signature!" She said bubbly smile and an eagerness to her. It was….interesting. Shrugging it off, I practically sprinted out to my car that waited.

Sitting in the backseat of the car, something in the pit of my stomach nagged at me, I just couldn't put a finger on it. Leaning my head on the back of the seat, I took my phone out to text Rose and saw the battery flashing. "Shit." Hopefully she would be able to understand me not reaching out to her.

RPOV.

I had sent Stan home, I didn't want to ride in the car anymore, I just needed to walk. I didn't really know where I was going, but the papers I had in my hand weighed like a thousand pounds. Folding them I stuffed them into my purse and crossed my arms under my chest and pretty much hugged my body.

I still felt numb, I didn't know what to do. If he was filing for divorce he would need my signature, but what was bringing this up? I wasn't judging him at all these past months at all, in fact Im probably the happiest I have been since graduating school.

All my thoughts were too much to handle, the stress was overbearing and then thinking about not continuing with painting made the tears come. I just felt like crying over everything, it was just too much. And then the nausea came. And with reflexes I leaned over the side of the road and emptied the contents of my stomach.

The thought of everything was just too much. Holding my hair back, I took a Kleenex from my pocket and wiped at my mouth, disgusted with what had just happened and how sudden it was there and gone. I took the back of my sleeve and dabbed at the tears on my cheeks and stood up straight, taking in a deep breath. Staring at the view in front of me. I had ended up on a path near his office, and the path lead behind it, leading up a hill and then to a parking lot that had an overview of the city. It was amazing especially with the sun setting in a calming manner.

An ache set in my stomach, remembering mine and Dimitris first night in the cayman island, watching the sun rise with all the colours and it was together, and now, I was alone watching the colours.

Feeling the air around me become brisk, I decided maybe it would be best to head home, to confront Dimitri about this, it was not going to be light either, holy hell would rise and I would make sure to make him uncomfortable.

I aready knew who was going to be sleeping on the couch tonight, and I would not be bringing him up to bed.

….

I was sitting in the living room when the door opened. It was now quarter to ten. Did a meeting really take five hours? Taking a deep breath I watched as his figure crept down the hallway past the living room, but I didn't let him get too far away before I called out to him.

"So you finally decided to come home huh?" I asked. His head whipping around, shocked to see me sitting there. He was in front of me in a flash.

"Rose I am so sorry it took so long to get home! I got called into a meeting today and then my phone was dying it was honestly bullshit the way my afternoon was going." My anger level rose as I watched him try to converse with me regularly. I intervened.

"I found these papers on your desk today, care to explain" I asked him throwing the papers at him and getting up from my seat. It took a minute before he said anything, his eyes scanning the papers.

"Why were you at my office? – I mean that's not important the thing is.." he just looked at the paper and looked at me. Tears filled my eyes.

"You signed them Dimitri, don't give me that fucking face." I screeched at him, pressing my fingers to the bridge of my nose.

"Rose, I-" .

"No, no excuses I cant hear any of them Dimitri" I looked at him dead on. He stared at me, I could see the frustration rising in his face.

"Seriously, Rose, I have never seen these before!" He told shaking the papers around.

I pointed to them. "DIMITRI ITS YOUR FREAKING SIGNATURE." The tears came down my face. My breathing came out hard and laboured, and all we could do was stare at each other. An irritating grin came over his face.

"Thank you captain obvious that is my signature, thank you for telling me." He threw the papers down onto the table laughing a bit. " I think I know where these came from.." He told me shaking his head and..laughing!?

"Why are you laughing about this!? It isn't funny!" I told him. I couldn't believe he thought this was a joke. His face turned sober pretty quickly.

"Rose, I don't think this is a joke, but the fact that you thought I wanted a divorce is whats making me laugh, and the fact that you actually thought I signed this willingly is also pretty infuriating." He roared suddenly changing his mood taking a step closer to me. It was all so intimidating, it actually made the tears roll down my cheeks even more, and then I felt it again, that nauseous feeling again, making me turn tail and run to the bathroom.

Everything eaten today, into the toilet. While leaning over the bowl, I could feel him grab my hair and rub my back.

"I'm so sorry Roza, I didn't mean to scare you, I –I swear I didn't, I was just upset that you would think I had anything to do with those papers. Please, what can I do to make it up to you, If you believe me that is." I could feel his eyes burn into the back of my head.

Grabbing tissue from the dispenser beside me, I wiped my mouth for the second time today and turned toward his worried eyes leaning on the toilet seat. "Thinking about it now, Im sure Im aware who did this to us as well.. you want to know my request?"

He nodded rubbing my back some more nudging me on.

" Fire Mia out of your business." I looked at him dead on, fire burning me in my eyes.

It took him a minute, but finally he complied. " Okay, I'll fire her." I gave him a small smile and nodded.

"Thank you, I know its a lot to ask, but she was the one who practically handed me those papers today, and I cant think of anyone else who would have done this." I gripped the edge of the toilet and tried to push myself up when a sharp pain ran through my hand, and up my arm making me whimper in pain and fall closer to the edge of the bowl before Dimitri grabbed to support me.

"Rose are you okay!?" He asked holding me against his chest looking at me. All I could do was cradle my arm and nod before looking up at him. "Actually no, Im not alright. I have to tell you something."
