I am so happy with the response I got from all of you. Please keep reviewing so I know what you think of my story.

Thank you for all the praises I got from all of you. It makes me very proud of my work and makes me want to continue it.

English is my second language actually, but I started to speak English at the age of 3. Good for me! :)

THIS WILL BE A ROMITRI STORY, I am also planning to write an Adrian/Rose story too.

I hope all of you would enjoy this chapter as well as the ones. Have a great time reading!

Rose's pov

I looked up at the serious looking Dimitri.

" Who is he?" Dimitri asked in a almost like a grumpy tone of voice. Aless was already in Zac's arms who is standing next to me with a frown. Zac doesn't know who Dimitri is or even the others.

I felt my blood boil as he looked at me like I did something terrible. I turned to Zac and said " You can go inside first". He shot me an ' are you sure' look, I nodded. He smiled at Aless and walked in to the house with Aless. I turned back to Dimitri said " This is none of your business". I glared at him and walked past him back into the house.

There I saw Lissa going through a lot of clothes on the floor. I looked closer and gasped. " What are you doing?" I snapped angrily. She looked up and smirked and said " Going through some garbage". Then I see Eddie folding my clothes and organizing them with a worried look plastered on his face. He was too occupied to notice me or hear me talk.

I turned back to Lissa and grabbed her skinny little arm and jerked her right up. She glared at which did not scare me at all. After all she is just the weak little Princess Vasilisa.

I looked at her jade green eyes and said " This is my house, my rules, I don't care if you're the queen, if you are in my house, you are following my rules". Lissa winced at the amount of strength I was using on her arm. Then I felt 2 hands grabbed me from behind, but let go when I quickly turned around and gave that person a square punch in the face.

I finally looked up and did not regret hitting my target. I smirked at Dimitri's bleeding nose. Well! He deserved it anyway. That punch felt like heaven to me and boy, I would love to give some to Lissa too. Gee, I should have done this before I left the academy.

Eddie quickly came to Dimitri's side and looked at me. I shrugged and said " He shouldn't have done that". It's his problem that he keeps finding new ways of getting punch in the nose, especially from me. I sighed and walked upstairs to find Zac telling Aless some stories and she was giggling a lot. I smiled at the cute sight. Zac turned around because he heard my footsteps. I went to sit down next to Zac who is on Aless's bed.

" Mommy! Zac was telling me really funny stories" Aless said excitedly.

I nodded and said " Yeah, I can see that". Zac smirked and asked " Can I talk to you alone?". I looked at him and yep! He is pretty serious. I nodded and pointed to the door. Zac smiled at Aless and said " I'll be back!". Aless nodded and started to play with her female cream colored bear. I followed Zac out the door and shut Aless's door too.

" Who is the man downstairs?" Zac asked with a raised eyebrow.

I sighed and asked " Which one?".

" The tall one"

" Dimitri"

" Who in the world is Dimitri? Why did he looked like he was gonna rip my head off moments ago?"

" He is the one and only Dimitri Belikov a guardian to Princess Vasilisa Dragomir and father to Alessandra"

I swear, Zac's mouth really hung opened. " Does Aless know?"

I slowly shook my head and said " No, but he does".

Zac ran his hands through his dirty blonde hair and asked " I want you to be honest with me, Do you still love him?".

Okay, that question totally caught me off guard. I blinked a few times trying to let it gt through my thick stubborn head. Do I still love him? After all the things he has done to me? He told me I was disgusting and that hurt badly. When I first moved here, I cried so much, but then it started to fade away. The pain and everything I once have felt for Dimitri has fade away through time. A long time ago, my heart would have beat crazily every time when I'm near to him. I use to miss him, but those feeling faded away because of the great amount of pain and time. I have Aless and she filled my loveless heart with love once more.

I looked back up at Zac and said " Not anymore".

He did not look convince, but said "Rose, the first time I met you, you looked so broken, I know deep down in your heart, you still love him, It's impossible that your feelings for him can fade away that easily, you have Aless as a reminder of him, you are ignoring your feelings cause you are afraid and you won't admit it, You find things to do all the time cause some way some how your mind wonders to him, I know you care about him".

I shook my head and said " You are wrong, I don't love him anymore". What is wrong with him? Doesn't he get it? I don't care about Dimitri? I have Aless and that's all I need.

He gently grabbed my shoulders and said " Rose, If you didn't have any feelings for him, we would have been married by now, Aless would have been my daughter and you would have been my wife, You still love him, that's why you don't care about me like the I care about you and Aless". Tears brimmed his eyes as he spoke. I couldn't say a word. The waterworks started working when his face showed how much he cared about me and Aless.

Zac sighed and said " I love you, Rose, but I want you to make the right decision". I know he wants the best for me, whenever he flies to some country. He always got things for me and Aless. Good things like a designer's dress and shoes. It was more than I expected. Now, I feel bad for him. He has tried to show me love, so much love, but me being the broken loveless Rosemarie Hathaway saw past his love. It hurts me when I know what Zac told me was true. I'm just afraid to let those feeling back in. I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it and I'm afraid of the pain I might have to feel again. I can't and won't go through those feelings and pain again. Not when my daughter is always near me. I have to be strong for her.

" Zac, I wish I could love you the way you love me and Aless, I wish what you told me about how I feel isn't true" I breathed out as tears ran down my face.

Then I was pulled into a warm comforting hug from Zac who ran his fingers through my hair gently. I pushed him away gently and said " I can't go through this kind of feeling, not anymore".

I dried my tears with the back of my hand and walked back downstairs to the kitchen. I ignored Lissa, Eddie and Dimitri's gaze as I walked past them. I stood in front of the sink and stared at my reflection from the small white wooden frame window. Then I sensed someone standing behind me. I turned around ready to argue back or whatever I have to do to get them to stay away from me.

I gave Eddie a cold look and asked " What do you want?" It came out very snappy and grumpy. Hey, I was not in a good mood since they arrive here and thanks to her highness Princess Vasilisa really made me want to rip someone's head off or punch someone in the face really hard a few times.

Eddie had the guilty look on and said " Rose, please listen to me, first". Anger bolted in me.

" Listen to you first? You never listened to me first! When I needed your support the most, you didn't listen to me so tell me why should I listen to you?" I snapped angrily at him.

He had tears in his brown eyes and said " I'm sorry! I was an idiot!I broke the vow I made on the day that Mason died, I was an idiot for listening to Lissa". Eddie whispered the last part. I sighed and said " You were like a brother to me, how could you not listen to me?". My voice broke at the end.

Eddie looked hurt and said " Please just let me be your brother once more?". Let's just give him a try.

I nodded and said " This is your last chance to be my brother again, I hope you do better this time".

Eddie broke into his cute boyish grin and pulled me into a brotherly hug. I pushed him away and said " It has been 7 years since I have really had a tight hug like that so let me try to get use to this once more".

He grinned and said " You haven't work out much, haven't ya". I rolled my eyes.

" Of course! I work out everyday!" I said with sarcasm. Eddie chuckled and said " Aless is very beautiful, just like you". Now, that got me to smile.

" I know, She's smart and talented just like her awesome mother too" I said with a smirk. It actually feels good to talk like that. I didn't realize how much I miss talking like this to Eddie.

Let's hope that things will be better with Eddie around.

This is a terrible ending for this chapter. Sorry :/

Well! Please review and let me know what you think, it might be slow at first, but it will have more Dimitri in it soon. Maybe the next chapter.

Have a great time!
