(Surprise)

Dimitri looked at his watch to notice 4:30 a.m.; he knew Roza was still sleeping. He thought she was hiding something from him. He was planning on locating the file that she got from Sydeny yesterday before he could get his hands on it. Dimitri decided to quietly search through Roza's belongings while she was still asleep, determined to uncover the truth. He couldn't shake the feeling that whatever was in that file was important and needed to be revealed.

As he raised his hand above the door, from, where his father kept the spare key in case he forgot or lost his key for cottage. Finding a secret and pulling out the key, before putting the key in the keyhole, unlocking the front door, and peering inside in hope of finding the file that Roza was hiding, Dimitri knew he was taking a risk, but his curiosity and determination drove him to continue searching for answers.

He stepped inside cautiously, scanning the room for any signs of the file. The dim light filtering through the curtains added to the suspense of his mission. Dimitri's heart raced as he moved further into the cottage, his eyes darting around for any clue that could lead him to the file. The sound of his own breathing seemed deafening in the silence of the room, heightening his sense of urgency.

As he reached the desk, Dimitri noticed a slight indentation in the wood, as if something heavy had been recently placed there. With a sense of anticipation, he carefully lifted up the corner of the rug beneath the desk, revealing a small hidden compartment where Roza had stashed the file. Relief flooded over him as he retrieved the file, knowing he was one step closer to uncovering the truth.

Before Dimitri quickly scanned the contents of the file, Sucker Punch came from his right side, knocking his head to the side. He snapped back to face the person who punched him. He soon realized that it was Roza who had sneaked up on him silently without him realizing that she was even there. He knew that he had underestimated her again and knew that she would be a great guardian.

Roza reached down, grabbing the files from Dimitri's hand as he reached up to rub his jaw. Rose reached over the desk, picked up pen and wrote down in the notebook on the desk. She wrote a message to him. Dimitri reached up, took a notebook, and read this message. "You're getting sloppy, comrade," Roza teased, a mischievous glint in her eye. Dimitri couldn't help but smile.

He knew that Roza's skills were unmatched, and he was grateful to have her by his side. But today is to challenge all her skills; try not to understate her knowledge and abilities. Dimitri made a mental note to never underestimate her again. He was reminded of her quick thinking and resourcefulness, which always seemed to surprise him. Roza was truly a force to be reckoned with. But Dimitri had no idea, but soon he learned and saw true beauty.

Roza was not only skilled in combat, but also had a sharp mind that could outwit even the most cunning adversaries. Dimitri admired her strength and determination, knowing that together they made an unbeatable team. But he would learn that her true power lay not just in her physical abilities, but in her unwavering loyalty and unwavering dedication to their cause. Dimitri realized that Roza was not just a formidable warrior, but a true friend and secret that she carried.

Dimitri stood up, looking her in her beautiful blue eyes, and could see a secret that kept her from everyone. He knew that there was more to Roza than met the eye, and he was determined to uncover the mystery behind her hidden past. As they continued on their journey, Dimitri vowed to stand by Roza's side, no matter what challenges they may face together.

Dimitri said, "Get dressed for the morning run." Roselie spun around and threw the file over her right shoulder as she walked to her bedroom. Dimitri reached and caught it and opened it to find that it was Playboy magazine, and she knew that she had tricked him. With a smirk, Roselie turned back to Dimitri and winked before disappearing into her room. Dimitri couldn't help but smile, realizing that Roza's playful nature was just another layer of the complex woman he was beginning to understand.


(Breakfast Olena's house)

Four days later, Dimiti arrived at Olena's house. Once again, he spent the night with Kristina, giving it to her, while Rosalie was the reason for the midnight visit. He knew that his mother, Olena, wouldn't be happy when he spent his night with Kristina. Olena confronted Dimitri about his actions. But she wouldn't do it in front of Roza. She waited until Roselie had left the house and have a private conversation with him. Olena expressed her disappointment and reminded Dimitri of the importance of respecting boundaries within the family.

Rosalie peered over her left shoulder at Dimitri, and when she heard the front door open, Olena expressed disappointment on her face at her son coming late to breakfast. Olena said, "Roza, go be to eating." Rosalie turned her head to Yeva and started sign the language and asking, You what me cut down the tree in the backyard?" "Because it was struck by lighting." Yeva smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's blocking the sunlight from my garden." Rosalie smiled and signed back to Yeva, "I'll take care of it after breakfast."

Greetings to all, Dimitri strolled down to the kitchen table and apologized for being late for breakfast. He took a seat beside Roza. "Mother, could I go to Heather's house?" inquired Viktoria. "Have you finished doing your chores?" Olena said. "Not yet," Viktoria retorted, "but I will do them right after breakfast." "Okay, once you're done with your chores, you can go to Heather's house," Olena stated with a nod.

"I overheard Viktoria speaking to a guy by the name of Rolan Kislyak," Rosalie remarked, utilizing sign language. "Heather and her family had to visit her grandmother while being gone for a week." Yeva decided to tell Olena about Viktoria deceit after acknowledging with a nod that her granddaughter was lying.

"So, what are you doing today?" Dimitri inquired about Roza. Reaching over, Rosalie picked up the pen and scribbled in the notepad that she was going to chop down the tree in the backyard. since it hit a bolt of lightning last night." After reading the message, Dimitri realized she was going to chop down a tree that had shrunk from the lightning and recalled that it had stormed the night. He immediately offered to assist her in the chore, cautioning her to use caution as felling a tree might be hazardous, particularly during a storm. Rosalie gladly accepted his offer with a smile, delighted to have some help with the potentially dangerous task.

Sonya noticed that her brother was flirting with Roza and asked, "Roza Are you a virgin?" Olena said, "Sonya, in surprise, that her daughter would ask that of Roza." Rosalie nodded her head, yes, with a smile. Sonya said, "Are you aware that Dimitri is sleeping with Kristina?" Rose shook her head. "No!" Rose wrote down the message that she overheard people in town call the town whore, she likes a door knob, and everyone gets their turn." Everyone looked over and read the notebook, and everyone burst out of laughter. Dimitri said, "Roza."

Karolina asked, "Dimka, Did you inform Roza about the visitor that will be arriving in a few days?" Sonya said, "Do you mean Natasha Ozera?" Karolina said, Yes, sister. Dimitri said, "No yet!" Olena said, "So we are the ones informing Roza that Natasha Ozera is coming to visit and will be staying in the cottage with her."

Rosalie had extended her hand to compose a note. Yeva turned to look at the message and saw that Roza was not pleased. "I apologize, but Natasha will have to find another place to sleep." "This woman is unfamiliar to me, and I don't trust her." "I believe it would be best if she moved to a different location."

Sonya stated, "We should prioritize Roza's comfort and safety above all else." Olena said, " I would agree with Sonya." "Roza has shifted around too much. "Dimka, you are Roza's mentor." " I believe it is important to respect her wishes in this situation." Yeva nodded in agreement, realizing that Roza's feelings and concerns should be the top priority in this decision.

Dimitri said, "Roza, you should understand that Tasha is Moroi." "They come first." Rose wrote a new message and said, "Natasha isn't my moroi and her safety is not my business." "Why doesn't she stay with you instead?" "It seems like that would be the best solution for everyone involved." "Natasha's safety should be your concern when she comes to visit."

Rosa rose up from her chair and thanked Olena for breakfast. Yeva said, "I will meet you in the backyard in a few minutes, I need to speak to Olena first." Rose smiled and nodded before she left Olena's house. To start the work on the tree in the backyard. Dimitri couldn't believe that Roza felt like that. Dimitri went to stay up when Olena and Yeva said, "Sit down, Dimitri." Dimitri was surprised to see his mother and grandmother upset. But he didn't realize that Viktoria was also in trouble.
