Chapter 2

Rose is struggling to put everything she can in her suitcase. Adrian hears her packing and rushes up stairs into their bedroom.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Adrian yells.

"Leaving you." Rose says firmly.

"What….what are you talking about? Why!? Adrian says with confusion.

"I can't take this anymore Adrian; I can't take your abuse! I love you so much though Adrian…but it's best if I leave."

"Please Rose…don't leave, I need you, you're all I have. You're all I care about!" Adrian says on the verge of tears.

Rose picks up her suitcase and walks right past him, without saying goodbye or anything she walks out the front door. She's in so much pain. He was all she ever knew. She felt like a part of her was ripped away in that moment. But she knew what was best for her. She needs a new life. One without pain and hurt. The first thing she does was head to the airport. She wanted to go where no one would find her, or expect her to go. Thank God that Adrian put money into her account every week, so she was able to take first class. She stood there for a while, she wasn't sure how long. She couldn't decide where to go. She wants to go where she has never gone before. So she ended up picking, Siberia. She hoped she was making the right decision. She would try to start a new life and make something of herself. She doesn't want to be dependent of a man anymore.

After a few hours of waiting, she finally boarded the plane. She took her seat and she was so happy no one sat next to her. Then all of a sudden, some tall guy with long brown hair sits next to her.

"Ugh…why me?" She whispers to herself.

This was gonna be a long flight, she thought.

"I'm Dimitri," The guy next to her says cheerfully.

She had to admit, he was hot. He was at least 6'7, muscular, and he had beautiful dark brown eyes.

"Hello Dimitri, I'm Rose," Rose said like she was annoyed.

"What bring you on this plane to Siberia?" Dimitri says.

"Starting over," Rose says remember what she's leaving behind.

"Oh, well it's the perfect place to start!" He says. "I'm originally from Siberia, but I came over here to the U.S for work, I come back and forth a lot."

"Nice." Rose says. Even though Rose wasn't saying much, she liked this guy. He was nice, charming, but she definitely didn't want to show it. She felt like she could trust him.

"Care to tell why you're starting over?" He says.

For some odd reason she felt like she wanted to tell him. To at least tell someone! She has never told anyone about Adrian abusing her. She was afraid that would make him abuse her more. But she felt safe now that she could tell anyone what happened to her and not have to worry about Adrian finding out. Should I tell him? She thought to herself. Why not. He's a complete stranger; she probably won't see him again for the rest of her life! What the hell. Go for it. She thought to herself. So that's exactly what she did. She told him everything, from the start of her being on the streets, to her packing up her suit case and leaving. Dimitri looked shocked when she told him this. How could this beautiful woman be abused? And not tell anyone, or leave as soon as the abuse started.

"Wow." He said shocked.

"I know it's crazy, I can't believe I stayed with him." Rose says.

"That's good that you left though, and didn't let it go on any longer. You should have told the police or something." Dimitri said.

"No, I don't want to. I just want to get away from him and start my own life."

"So do you know where you're going to stay?" He says pondering.

"In a hotel until the money in my account runs out, I need to find a job though, money doesn't last forever right?" She says.

"I know we barely know each other, but you're welcome to stay with me if you want. There's plenty of room in my house."

"No it's fine, I want to be independent as of today, and that's what I plan to do. Thank you though." She says.

"No problem, but if you change your mind, my offer still stands."

Why is he being so nice she thought to herself? Should I take the offer? NO. Rose you're an independent woman now you don't need a man or anyone else to help you. What happens when the money does run out though? How am I supposed to find a job when I have no experience and I don't even speak Russian! She thought to herself. She can't believe she was actually about to say this.

"I think I'll take you up on that offer, it's just, I have no job experience with anything, and I don't even speak Russian…" She says ashamed of herself.

He laughs. "I can teach you some words if you want, I'm obviously not a teacher or anything, so I have no idea how to teach a language!"

"Thank you." Rose says.

She can still start a new life while living with Dimitri. She just hopes that he's as nice as he seems. The rest of the flight went by fast because all they did was talk about their life. Dimitri lives with his mom, grandma, and sisters. He works for the most successful business in Russia. Great. Another business man. She thought to herself. She knew Dimitri was different though, she could tell. He wouldn't hurt a soul, unless they threatened to hurt him or anyone he cared about. They opened up to each other. Neither of them knew why they felt so comfortable around each other. They felt like they could trust the other person with anything. And it's true, they could.

"We are now arriving, please fasten your seatbelts" The plane attendant said.

She was kind of sad the flight ended, she had a lot more fun than she ever thought. She still couldn't believe though that she opened up to a complete stranger, and is now going to live with him and the rest of his family. What the hell? She thought to herself. She has already gone through the worst. The worst thing that could happen is that he's really a serial killer. But she can tell he's not. They walked off the plane together and they went straight for their bags. Once they finally got their bags, they hoped into the car and took off.

"So exactly what city do you live in?" Rose says.

"Baia," He answers.

It didn't take long to get to the house. She stood there looking at the house, but she just wasn't looking at the house. She was looking at her new life.
