"Ivan passed away, Dimitri."
I heard him gasp and I opened my eyes, looking straight into his dark ones.
"It was an aggressive stomach cancer. He passed away about three years ago. You two hadn't spoken in several months, but when you found out about his cancer you went to see him right away."
"Why did I stop talking to him?" He shook his head.
"Because he betrayed you—" I gulped, and rubbed my forehead, "—with Tasha."
He froze and his jaw tensed. "She cheated on me with Ivan."
I nodded, looking straight into his eyes so he could see I was being honest.
"Were they together, back when he…"
I shook my head. "No, she left him when she found out he was sick."
He spat a few words in Russian, which I was pretty sure were curse words.
"What happened after that?"
"Tasha tried everything to split you and Rose apart when she found out you were serious about her, but in the end she couldn't do anything, you had already seen her ugly side. You proposed to Rose six months ago, knowing she was the one for you. At least that's what you told me when I accompanied you to have your grandmother's ring sized for Rose."
"My grandmother's ring…"
I nodded. "The ring you never gave to Tasha, because you never really loved her. Not like you love Rose."
