Previously
I changed into my PJ's and lie down on the bed and started balling my eyes out which I am holding from the time, I told Dimitri the truth and he does not say anything. I know if I cried that time he will definitely wrap me in his arms and will never let me go which I do not want. I want him to move on and he will move on knowing my betrayal but the question is am I able to move on and forget everything?
I wrapped my arms around myself and cry then I thought how Dimitri will hold me if he saw me crying right now and remembering Dimitri's arms around me, I cry harder and harder. I do not know how long I cried, after a while I dozed off and when I wake up at night, I cried again remembering everything, I rubbed my chest feeling pain there, remembering Belikov's especially Dimitri, I can't forget his face when he calls me Roza, when I pull a prank on him, when he holds me in his arms, when he kisses me, when he told me he hates it when I cry. I cried and cried all night after that I just lie there numb missing Dimitri. A knock at the door pulled me from my numbness. I saw light peeking through the curtains telling me its morning. I took a bath and when I looked in the mirror, I saw that I look like a red-eyed monster with all the swollen, red puffy eyes. I grabbed my sunglasses from the drawer and put it on and left the room.
Presently
(So ladies and gentleman the wait is over)
DPOV
I was unable to believe when Tasha told me the reason Rose came here, I yell at her and told her to leave Rose and me alone but she said that if I know that my Rose is not a cheater so why don't I test her and find out by myself. I told her that I will do that and when my Roza will come clean she will not interfere in our life ever. I have no doubt on my Rose but to shut Tasha up I tested Rose and told her that we are going for the registration of the bakery. When at night she was crying in my arms I know that I am wrong and Tasha is right but I know one more thing that Rose maybe came for bakery but the way she treated my family, she loves them and the way she was crying in my arms that proves that and the way she kissed me and buried her head in my chest and holding my shirt in her death grip prove that she started to fall for me. I have this hope that she will not leave me after I register the bakery in her name, she will still stay with me.
I am angry on her because she doesn't trust me enough and told me all of these things before and she is leaving me without even knowing how I feel, without knowing that I want her to stay. She just left me alone in that park standing by myself. After staying there for an hour I left for the house to give my family the news about Rose.
"Where is Rose?"- That was the first question my mother asked me when I enter the house alone.
"What happened Dimka? Is everything alright? Is Rose okay? Say something."- My mother showered me with the questions when she saw my grim face.
"What happened?"- Everyone came rushing to the living room hearing my mother's raised voice.
I told them everything and all I heard is gasping of my family.
"I know from the starting that Rose is not a match for you. After all, she is also a gold-digger."- Sonya said.
"You are forgetting that why she did that, she did that for her family, for her aunt. And do not forget that her family got cheated too. I will do the same if it comes to my family."- Karo said, favoring Rose.
"And let's not forget the point who sells the bakery to Dimka? It was your boyfriend who cheated all of us, he was the one who sold that bakery to Dimka and he is the reason that Rose is not with us and Dimka didn't get a fair chance with her."- Vika yelled.
"Do not blame him for what Rose did." – Sonya replied back.
"If he didn't sell that bakery to Dimka than none of this happens."- Vika retorted back.
"Enough."- Mama yelled and she never yells. "I didn't expect this from you Dimka. You have failed me and you have failed Rose."
"What are you saying mama?"- I asked shocked.
"It's time to tell him everything."- Babushka said from the couch.
"Tell me everything? What do you mean by that?"- I asked babushka.
"I mean that your mother and I know everything about Rose, why did she come here and all the other things even it was me who gave her the idea that she can get her bakery back by marrying you. Why do you think she said 'I do' after talking to me that day? Your mother doesn't know that about it until the accident with Rose happen, last month. I told your mother everything last month, she was shocked but she got it why Rose was doing this, Olena forgives her."- Yeva said.
"You know all about it, still you didn't bother to tell me? I -"- I started but Yeva cut me off.
"I am still not completed what I want to say, so listen carefully, son. I told your mother that Rose will leave as soon as she will get the bakery even if she doesn't want to leave. That girl is the most stubborn girl I have ever met. But your mother believed in you, your mother believed that you will never let her go but you failed her and let that girl go. Maybe she came here for the bakery but she always treated us as her family. She saved you on that day on the road without even thinking that in the process of saving you she can get hurt. And you know that son that she was changing and not only towards us but towards you too. She was starting to fall for you and by not stopping her and by letting her go, you did not let us down only but you let that girl down too. You let your wife down, your true soulmate down and by letting her down you proved that you are the same man she got married forcefully, the guy who is not her husband but the chief head of 'The Community'. Action speaks louder than words, son. Mark my words action speaks louder than words."- Yeva finished with a sigh.
I heard what Yeva said and realized that she is right. In starting Roza hated me because I married her forcefully and try to restrict her in the rules she barely knows but when I let my guard down and showed her that I am not only the head of ''The Community' but her husband too, she started to melt, her anger started to melt. It sure does take time to trust me but in the end, she does trust me and I let her down, I let my wife, my love down.
"You are right, I failed her, and I failed all of you."-I murmured.
"You can still correct your mistake."- Yeva said, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"How?"- I asked looking at her with hope in my eyes.
"You have to make a plan to bring your wife back, to gain her trust again and prove her that you will never leave her again. Make her believe that she can confide in you, that she can trust you to tell everything. And I don't know how you are going to do that. That's your call to make."- She patted on my back and left with everyone on her tow.

"It's been a week and Rose is still not herself. Staying there with Belikov's has affected her immensely. We should do something to cheer her up."- I said to Mia and Eddie.
"Yeah you are right we should do something to help her. Why don't you talk to her, Mia?"- Eddie said.
"I tried but she said she is not in the mood to talk and even I tried to tell her that, when she wasn't here both of you changed your job and left the Belikov Enterprise and now you are working somewhere else but she is not ready to talk to anyone."- Mia replied.
"If she stays like that she can get into depression, we should do something. What about sending her to the US where aunt Kirova lives? If she will stay away from Russia for some time, she will get better."- Eddie said.
"And what we will say to aunt Alberta? According to her Rose just came back from the US and when we send her back there aunt will definitely going to doubt us."- I said.
"Then what should we do, this is the matter of our only sister. We can't leave her like this."- Eddie said getting louder.
"What about asking her to join the bakery again, she loves cooking and baking and I bet that will divert her mind and make her feel better and she will not say no when it comes to helping aunt."- Mia said.
"Yeah, that's a good idea. Rose is not going to say no when it comes to aunt and it will help her heal whatever she has gone through in the Belikov's house."- I said.
"Now let's decide who is going to talk to her?"- Eddie said.
RPOV
I do not know how many days have been passed since I left Dimitri but my routine remains same eat and come back to my room and stare at the ceiling and at night cry until I fall asleep. I am wearing sunglasses every time to hide my haunted eyes. When my family asks me why I am wearing sunglasses, I told them that I have an eye infection, so I have to cover my eyes all the time so it won't spread to others. Sometimes at night, I wake up crying Dimitri's name because he is haunting my dreams. In dreams, he was holding me and telling me not to cry and that he will be there when I wake up but when I wake up he wasn't there to hold me, to tell me to not cry, to tell me that he will be there with me.
"You are a cheater, Rose. You cheated me and my family. I will never forgive you."- Dimitri said to me when I reached his office to talk to him, to ask him to take me back.
"Please Dimitri, don't say that. I told you already that I did it for my aunt, for my family. What will you do if you were in my place?"- I asked him.
"I will never hurt anyone Rose, I will not give anyone pain the way you have given to me. I will speak the truth because you are…. You were my wife and I would have talked to you about my problem."- He said with venom in his voice.
"What do you mean by I was your wife? I am still your wife."- I said.
"Our marriage is not registered and isn't what you want, to get free from this forced relationship."- He said sitting on the chair behind his desk.
"I will talk to Olena about it and let's see what she will say about all of this."- I said using another tactic.
"Tasha was right about you, that you will do anything to get what you want but I will never let you come near my family so you should forget the thought of talking to my mother."- Dimitri said angrily.
"What the hell is she doing here?"- Tasha said entering his office.
"I am here to talk to my husband so you should leave us alone, Tasha."- I said to her and she laughed.
"He is not your husband Rose and soon he is going to marry me."- She said and stand beside Dimitri.
"I do not believe you."- I said to her with venom in my voice.
"It doesn't matter you believe it or not Rose, I am going to marry Tasha in two months."- Dimitri said. (Oh my god Dimitri is marrying Tasha.)
"No, no, you can't do this with me."- I stammered back.
"I am calling the guards."- Tasha said and dialed to someone. I do not know what she said on call because I think my world just ended. I do not even know when guards hold my arms took me towards the exit.
"Please, Dimitri, Please, don't do this. Don't do this."- I yelled but he won't listen to me and guards took me outside his office.
I woke up with sweat dripping from my body.
"It was just a dream, it was just a dream."- I murmured to myself and rubbed my chest.
I get up from my bed, took a shower to remove all the sweat from my body and brushed my teeth. I changed into simple jeans and a tank top, put on my sunglasses and went downstairs. I greeted everyone and sat down on my usual seat. We were in the middle of our breakfast when doorbell ringed. I stand up and went to open the door. There was a delivery boy with a dozen of Orchids in his hand.
"Delivery for Rose Mazur."- He said.
"That's me."- I replied. It must be my brothers doing. I received the flowers and signed the papers. I put the orchids in the vase and I was just about to sit down on the table when the doorbell rang again. When I checked it was another delivery of flowers, this time it was bouquet of Tulip. And the process goes on and on until the whole living room smell like a garden. I received a dozen of Orchids, Jasmine, Tulips, Lilies, Sunflower, Dahlia, Water lilies, Lotus, Lilacs, Peony.
"Who send all these flowers?"- Aunt asked.
"I don't know." - I replied because I know that is my brothers doing.
"How can you accept the flowers when you don't know who the sender is?"- Eddie said.
"You guys don't need to pretend like you don't know who send them so just drop the drama and accept that this is your doing."- I replied.
"But Rose we didn't order these flowers."- Mason said.
"Cut the act Mason."- I said getting frustrated.
"We swear Rose we didn't order all these flowers."- Mason said. Before I can say anything doorbell rang again. I stand up and rush towards the door.
There was another delivery guy with a huge bouquet of red roses in his hand; the bouquet was huge enough that I was unable to see the face of the person.
"You listen to me delivery boy, I do not know who the hell is sending these flowers so you can take them back to whoever told you to send these flowers and please told him or her to shove these flowers up his or her ass."- I yelled the last part and turned to close the door.
"Still angry at me, Mrs. Belikov."- A voice said behind the flowers, the voice I very well know. I turned and saw Dimitri putting the flowers on the ground. I stand there still shocked to my core. Dimitri entered the house and stand in front of me. He removed my sunglasses and gasped, and then I came to my senses. I went to snatch my sunglasses from his hand but he wouldn't let me.
"What did I told you about crying, Roza? You know that I hate when you cry and from your eyes, it looks like that you were crying from past week. Why did you do that to yourself, Roza?"- He said and I busted into tears.
Dimitri holds me to his chest when I started crying and said soothing words to me. I hold his shirt in a death grip and when my crying turned to hiccups he tried to push me back from his chest but I won't let him. He murmured my name to tell me to loosen my grip on him but I shook my head.
"You will disappear if I let you go."- I said still holding him in my death grip. He chuckled.
"I am not going anywhere and you should let me go before your family comes."- He said and I removed myself from him and grabbed the sunglasses and put them back on.
"Why are you wearing sunglasses inside the house, Roza?"- He asked with a scowl on his face.
"Because I look like a zombie."- I replied.
"You can't look anything but beautiful."- He said cupping my jaw and I blushed and looked down.
"What the hell he is doing here?"- My brother's voice came from behind me.
"He is Rose's husband so he came here to take her."- Aunt replied and my jaw dropped.
"Close your mouth, Roza, before you catch a fly."- Dimitri whispered in my ear.
"You maybe know that he is her husband but you do not know how he becomes her husband and what he did."- Eddie said to the aunt.
"I know everything, what he did, what you did so don't you dare to tell me who did what, come inside Dimitri."- She said with authority in her voice.
"How did you know everything, aunt?"- I asked.
"Your dear husband came to the bakery yesterday and told me everything but Rose you did not need to do that but I am glad you did because by doing that you find a good man."- Aunt replied.
"What is going on?"- Jill asked but Mia told her that she will tell her everything later. We walked into the living room and Dimitri put his hand on my waist.
"I am sorry for what I have done. I came here to ask for your forgiveness and Rose's of course. And most importantly to take Rose with me back to our home."- Dimitri said.
"If you think that we are going to trust you with our sister than you should forget about it."- Eddie said.
"I know that I gave you no reason to trust me but I can assure you that I will keep her happy always, keep her protected, take care of her every need and I will not give any of you chance for any complaints and I will do that, not because she is my wife but because I love her."- He said turning towards me.
"We do not believe in a word you just said and you are not her husband there is not any proof that she is married to you."- Mason said.
"Our marriage is registered, if you want to see the papers I can show you."- Dimitri said and I looked towards him confused.
"But Dimitri I do not remember signing any papers regarding our marriage."- I said.
"The day I transferred the registration of the bakery in your name that day we signed four set of papers in which two of them is for the bakery and other two was for our marriage registration."- He said and I backed away from him.
"See aunt you were favoring him and he cheated again. See Rose he makes you sign your marriage registration paper without even your consent."- Mason said and I feel like air left from my lungs.
Dimitri took a step towards me and I backed away further.
"No, Roza don't do that. I did that but whatever I did is to keep you with me. My intentions weren't wrong, please believe me, Roza."- He pleaded.
"Rose don't believe him he is nothing more than a fraud."- Mia said.
"Shut up every one of you; let Rose take the decision what she wants."- Aunt said.
"I am not going anywhere."- I said to Dimitri.
"Roza please, please don't do this."- He begged but I rush towards my room.
"I am not going anywhere Roza, you heard me, I am not going anywhere until you say yes to come with me."- Dimitri yelled from behind me but I locked my room to block his voice, his pleading.
Author's Note: Oh, Oh, another trouble. Who would have thought that Olena and Alberta know everything and how did Tasha know and that bitch told Dimitri everything. Who would have guessed that our oh so innocent Dimitri make Rose sign the papers of their marriage registration. Lots of secrets revealed in this chapter but the point is that, will Rose say yes to Dimitri and go with him to their home and even if she did go with him then that is not the end of the story. So don't think that as an end.
