"I was with Ivan, celebrating that he passed the detective exam. We went out for drinks, I lost him in the party and then I went back to my apartment," answered Dimitri.

I rubbed my mouth and held back the tears that stung my eyes, knowing this was the reason why Rose was so upset.

"You don't remember what happened after that?"

He shook his head and frowned. "That girl, the one that ran out of here… she is my fiancée?"

I nodded. "And my adoptive sister. You are—were getting married in the fall. I was to be the best man."

Dimitri shook his head. "Why would I choose you over Ivan? Where is he, anyways?"

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hating the fact I was the one who had to tell him, to explain to him why he cut all ties with him until it was almost too late.

But he needed to know and understand what was going on. I had seen Tasha leave the hospital, so I knew I had to set the record straight before any more pain could be inflicted onto poor Rose.
