Thank you to the few people who have been reviewing and have added this storyto their alerts I really appreciate it.

I just wanted to thank XxDeadlyBlackRosexX for her review and noticing that in fact Rose was still wearing her charm. I just forgot whilst writing for her to take it off just before she was looking for the hidden cameras. I have added that in to the related chapter 13.

Just to let readers know that I am hoping to make this a long story. But we shall see how it goes and where my imagination will take it next.

This story is now sitting at 108 reviews. Will that increase with this chapter? Only time shall tell. Its all down to you….. No pressure :P

Chapter Fifteen

DPOV

Waking up each morning is a blessing in its own right. But waking up to my Turkish Goddess by my side causes my mornings to turn into cheerfulness…... you could say… wait what is happening to me cheerful. Since when am I cheerful?

The answer is sometimes but mostly on the inside, I didn't perfect this bloody guardian mask for zilch. Ughh all this happiness and love I am feeling is turning me really soft and fluffy on the inside.

Like a pink pillow.

The tragedy of pink pillows with fur trimmings makes me feel slightly sick. It takes me back to the days of being forced to marry Barbies and being …. Dressed up into long flowing, frilly, colourful, girly dresses of course forced by my sisters.

Just the thought of it makes me want to go and rub myself up against a sweaty man and start making more grunting noises.

Don't take anything dirty from that statement above I understand it can be taken in the opposite sense of what I was meaning….. Man I am talking to myself again.

All these fluffy feelings and bad memories are caused to occur by only this woman's presence it is almost creepy how your soul mate can bring out the sweetness and happiness in you to an extent that …. Well let's not go there well actually might as well continue in my thoughts since Roza looks to be in a deep sleep and I don't want to face the mobster man and wife downstairs. God knows if I continue to be influenced by the fluffy side I will soon be dancing around a field, in a pink tutu and a teddy bear in my arms searching for the pot of gold at the end of the shiny colourful rainbow.

This is so not goof… I do not feel manly anymore I need to go and lift weights like very soon. But I shall wait till sleeping beauty wakes up because I will not willingly and intentionally awaken the dragon inside of a tired and grumpy Hathaway. Well actually she is a Belikov but I don't know if she will take my name or just kept Hathaway-Mazur.

Just the thought of that non blinking glare that both Hathaway's do, then with Abe there and his mastering bearded pirate mafia presence… is ok I suppose.

Who am I to lie my mother would have a fit and problem slap me even though I am coming up for 30 soon.

Ok here I go my name is Dimitri Belikov and I have to admit that I am terribly no scrap that, I am shit scared of Janine and Abe. Like it's so bad that I actually feel sick when they look at me because I truthfully don't want to die. I just got my Roza back.

Wow that was weird my brain just started to babbling, Roza's already rubbing off on me. I guess mental rants are contagious, like the love bug. I can't believe it me the Russian god has turned cheesy.

But this morning waking up to my wife was one of life's best gifts. To open my eyes to see her beautiful face and … body in my arms is one thing I never thought I would have.

I can't but stare and envy her beauty she looks so calm and peaceful with her head resting at a strange angle as we are both lying on our sides facing each other.

Her arms are wrapped around my body. And mine wrapped round hers. For once in her life she doesn't look dangerous and ready to kill someone… not that it's a bad thing but wow! She is an amazing woman. I kind of feel like I am stuck in a dream, like I need somebody to pinch me…

Ouch. What the hell my bicep is stinging like hell I look down at it to see it has a red blotch forming on it. In my mind I couldn't work out what had happened till I feel Roza chuckling against my chest… her small body shaking with uncontrollable giggles that slowly start to escape her lips.

If she hadn't of giggled I wouldn't have even suspected her because her breathing is even and her eyes are closed and well she damn looks like she is sleeping.

You shouldn't take anything for granted my love. I am sorry though… it was so tempting and you wanted someone to pinch you. I just thought you would have preferred me to perform the act.

Wait… the cheeky little madam was listening to my thoughts through our bond. Wait I bet she's still listening.

Confirmation of this was her nodding her head against my chest.

Oh Roza it's not nice to listen in on other peoples inner thoughts. I don't listen in too yours... they would probably be crazy anyway.

I watched Roza's reactions as I teased her. Her body went immediately stiff pulling away from me, she immediately got out the bed stark naked and walked into the bathroom closing and locking the door.

Sugar why did I say that? Ok now I know not to wind her up or I get this kind of bad reaction. I stand up out of bed stretching my 6 ft 7 frame and strangely take joy in hearing my back click in to place. I take one step and am hit by an image that makes me wince.

Hey comrade you know that I am famous for pain so which one of my items or should I say weapons would you like to have the pleasure of facing. We were in a empty field alone I watched as she walked over to me covered in shiny silver swords and guns but she picked up an axe that was hanging off her weapon belt. She held it in one hand weighing it. She then looks at me straight in the eyes and winks steadily trailing her focus down to my man hood my glory and then looks back at the axe. My hands immediately cover my man parts wincing at the thought of what she might do with that axe of hers.

Hearing laughter coming from right in front of me I open one eye to see Roza laughing her head of practically sitting on the ground holding her stomach.

She blinks and rubs away the tears that were cascading down her beautiful face.

I realise my hand from my manhood so that I can wrap my arms around her muscley small frame.

Speaking out loud I say.

"That was not nice Roza."

Rose smirks and pulls out my embrace walking over to a pair or trainers lying in the corner of the room and wiggling her feet into them as she speaks.

"Who said I was nice Belikov?"

Oh I am in serious trouble she just called me Belikov that has never been a good sign. I watch her stand up and stretch noticing she is dressed in clothes for kicking my ass or the gym and I am desperately hoping that they are for the gym.

My wife walks slowly over to her dressing table where she pulls her wavy hair into a pony tail and grabs her leather jacket walking out of the door without even looking at me.

I quickly run in to the bathroom shaving at full speed and then start looking for clothes stopping when I see clean clothes folded neatly on the bed as I pick them up a note falls off of them I throw my clean gym clothes on metaphorically of course and pick up the note it reads;

Comrade,

I may not be a good person but you can't say that I am not a good wife to you.

See ya soon.

Love your wifey x

XD

I folded the note and place it in the pocket of my shorts, walking out our bedroom I had the biggest grin on my face. Running down the stairs I am about to enter the doors into the kitchen when I see Adrian leaning against the wall.

I can feel my anger bubbling but I contain it by taking a deep breath. I go to walk in to the kitchen ignoring him but Adrian stops me and looks me in they eyes.

I blink and look around to see no one in the hallway guess my mind is tripping. But if I do see Adrian I will be having words with him about how he has lost my Roza as his friend. And I guess I will throw a few threats in there just to mix it up a bit and keep my self in good practice.

Anyway I continue to walk into the kitchen to find everyone bar Roza. I open my mouth to speak but and beaten to it by Abe speaking.

"She is probably in the gym our just outside the building she just left and your grandmother wanted to talk to her."

I just nod my head and run towards were I presume the gym would be.

Outside is always a good start ….

RPOV

After leaving my bedroom well mine and Dimitri's bedroom I went in search for some clean clothes for him. It didn't take long to find them as I tripped over his suitcase leaving our bedroom. I waited a couple of minutes listening for him to go in to the bathroom, once he did I laid out some of his gym clothes and a little note.

I left our bedroom heading for the kitchen were everyone was sitting eating breakfast. I smiled and said my 'hellos' and 'mornings' to everyone before grabbing a cookie and a bottle of water. Just before leaving the kitchen I asked everyone to tell Dimitri that I would be in the gym if he was looking for me.

I walked out the kitchen to find Yeva waiting outside the back door. I smiled at her and she returned the smile grabbing my arm we walked together over to the gym at a slow leisure pace that Yeva could cope with.

I knew Yeva well enough to know that the old woman was using my arm for support instead of bringing her stick with her. Yeva is a very proud and independent woman. Who believes that her walking stick is only and added hindrance and a evil piece of wood.

I have also grown to know her so well over the past 6 years that I know that she wants to say something but she was keeping quite, I could now see the gym getting closer in sight.

The gym is an up to date small building separated from the main house. The building right next to the gym is mine and my Baba's private office where I help with his mobstering work…. that everyone presumes he is involved with.

His work is not that bad at all really it's just funny how everyone thinks it's violent and illegal and I can tell you it's the complete opposite. But my baba likes to keep the scary pirate mobster image it boosts his image and stops people hassling him. Even my mum doesn't know what his work is. It's very surprising.

As me and Yeva reach the gym door she tugs me over to the small bench that is outside the building. Once we reach the bench she sits down and pats the space on the bench beside her.

I look her in the eyes and say.

"I will sit down only if you let me smoke."

Yeva laughs and nods her head and answers by speaking in English.

"You can smoke if you give me a ciggy too. My family don't allow it but what they don't know won't kill them right?"

She gives me a challenging look to see if I will tell them but I reach into my leather jacked and pull out my packet of ciggys, at the same time I feel the familiar feeling of the crinkled photo of my beautiful little girl.

I pull my hand out of my pocket and place a cigarette in my mouth lighting it and handing it over to my wise grandmother.

I do the same for myself and we both sit in silence inhaling the toxic chemicals and realising them in a puff of some.

Eventually Yeva speaks.

"You know my little Rose I am glad you are safe. But to business me you and my grandson shall have a little quiet chat about the bond, later though."

I nod my head waiting for her to continue or at least start a riddle. But she doesn't.

"Come on Yeva cut the crap I know you have more to say just tell me quick that's all I ask, do it like ripping a plaster off. It's always the best way I find."

Yeva takes one last puff of the cigarette and drops it on the ground stomping on it with her small feet.

She looks and me and truly looks sad. She grabs my hand in hers and strokes it in calming way.

"Little flower Tasha will return and I see a great battle but… I truthfully can't see what happens to your life line. In some of my visions you are fine and in others to be blunt I see your death."

What do I say to that?

"Well Yeva I just have enemies Viktor, Tasha and Nathan and Luke these are the ones that I know of. So I guess only time will tell."

Yeva shook her head mumbling in Russian things that I shall not repeat as they are … well let's just say things that an old woman should not be saying ever.

What did she expect me to say? I just can't sit round and fear death. I know that to other people think that I am fearless but I am actually not.

I'm scared senseless to be honest I don't want to die. Whilst in my deep silence thoughts and ranting that Dimitri was teasing me about earlier. I reach into my pocket yet again to have another cigarette just out of habit and it helps with the darkness.

Once I have lighted and had a few puffs on my second chemical killing stick. I see Dimitri's figure running towards at the same time I see Yeva's slow shuffling body disappearing into the house. The sneaky old bat didn't even say goodbye unless she tried and I never noticed because I was so deep in thought but I doubt that she even bothered to say anything before escaping. She is such a traitor sometimes.

Shaking my head I see Dimitri only a few steps away from me, I quickly drop my cigarette that isn't even half done yet. And stub it out on the ground throwing it into the plant pot beside the gym at strigoi speed.

I stand up and walk to the gym door as I reach the handle I feel Dimitri's presence behind me.

He is so close that I immediately lean against him. Then I realise something I am still holding the smoke in my mouth from the last cigarette and I haven't released it yet.

Shit I was either going to die any minute from lack or breath or get the lecture of the century that may just cause me to kill myself more quickly then the cigarettes themselves.

I was brought out of my thoughts …. Damn damn damn these bloody inner thoughts they are actually getting on my nerves so bad when I heard Dimitri speak through the bond.

I am gonna start some stretching inside then maybe you could show me some of your moves Mrs Belikov?

As soon as he mentions going side I start to do an imaginary dance in my head. He kisses my cheek from the side and disappears in the door.

The next thing I know I am bent in two coughing, spluttering and gasping for air trying to stop the burning in my lungs and throat the need for oxygen.

After gaining my breath back I walk in to the gym to fins Dimitri running on the treadmill. Topless what a beautiful sight. Hmmm.

I pull my leather jacket off and place it on the floor beside Dimitri's t-shirt.

I walk over to the side of his treadmill and decide to test him a bit so I put his speed up to 15mph. This is pay back for all the times he mad me run the track.

I watch my comrades face and slowly I see the strain hitting his guardian mask pulling it down to show he is struggling after about 5 minutes he quickly presses the stop button and gets off the treadmill walking to the side and pressing me against the wall. He kisses me in a full make out session but stops and pulls away his eyes starting to darken.

"Do I taste smoke Roza?"

Crap he knows that I have been smoking not that it is any of his business, but I don't want him to be angry so I just nod my head. Suddenly Dimitri's face drops any trace of joking-ness and instead all I can see in his eyes is anger.

I gasp felling utterly shocked as Dimitri roughly pushes me away from him so much that I actually stumble.

I watch him wipe his mouth on his T-shirt that was on the floor. He puts his t-shirt on and picks my jacket up throwing it at me.

"You know what Rosemarie I thought you were bad enough but smoking truly makes you a disgusting person. I knew I had to put up with you for the sake of my family and well that was it. Ugh you disgust me beyond belief I actually wish I had taken Tasha's offer to have a family with her 7 years ago. At least she wouldn't of being a smoking slut who couldn't give me children."

All I could feel was my mouth opening and shutting like a fish. What was I meant to say he was saying he didn't love me anymore and in his head and eyes I could see that he was telling the truth.

I pulled my jacket over my arms and zipped it up I turned around and started to walk towards the door. But I stopped when he grabbed me and pushed my into the nearest wall so hard that I was seeing coloured spots everywhere.

I felt him lean towards my ear and listened to the horrifying words that he was whispering in my ear.

"You know Rosemarie for being a slut your not even that good being in bed. Just as a little fact I have thought that you were a disgusting little blood whore since the start and wanted to see how stupid you were, I got my answer since you think that I actually love you. So you understand clearly I ….. Have… Never…, loved …. You. I would divorce you but you will be dead within in the week so what's the point?"

He let go of me so that I slumped to the floor. I…. I.

I watched the man who I thought was the love of my life walk towards the door that would allow him to leave the gym. But he stopped and turned around.

His face turning into a grin. I almost laughed thinking Ashton Kutcher was going to jump out saying I had been punk'd it was so surreal the way Dimitri had just snapped and showed behaviour that resembled the time he was a strigoi.

"Oh I want the wedding ring back it's not like you'll need it when your dead."

He started laughing at his own little sick joke. I stood up and walked over to him; pulling the ring off my hand and placed it in the palm of his tanned hand. As my fingers brushed his calloused hands I knew that I truly had been fooling myself because as I touched his palm there was no electrifying spark.

I looked at my ex husband and former lover in the eyes and I walked away from him. This time my heart was more totally shattered but I didn't show it. I didn't look back as I left the gym.

I started to walk back to the house thinking about how I had been played for so long. I didn't think my day could get any worse.

The key word being think, I stopped walking and pulled out the ringing phone from my pocket. I automatically answered it not looking at the caller i.d.

There was silence on the line then the sound of sobbing echoed through the phone.

I didn't even need to hear the voice I knew that it was my little girl and something had happened.

Without thinking I started running and speaking to her calmly at the same time.

"I'm coming baby. I'll be there soon."

I closed my phone down and ran in to the house grabbing my car keys. I looked up to see Abe. Without even speaking his posture immediately changed. I knew that he had seen the change in my eyes and that he realised something was wrong with my little girl. He just simply nodded and disappeared. He knew what he had to do.

With that I went straight to my car starting the engine and driving of, looking in my interior mirror I could see the man who broke me standing looking bewildered. But soon enough he disappeared, hidden by me leaving the gates of the mansion.
