The smell of Dimitri's cologne was faint in the air and the room was warm. From the looks of it, it was early in the morning.

" I'm not a bad girl!" I argued a little worried for what he meant by that." What exactly happened, and who is this Steven person?!"

" He is the son of another Russian Mafia. You seemed quite interested in him, I'm surprised you forgot." Dimitri sassed as a knock at the door interrupted our conversation." Finally, it took you long enough." He said as he opened the door.

" Ivan?" I asked as I saw a familiar smiling faces.

" Anna?" He said mockingly as he walked in the room acting surprised.

" Ivan is here to keep an eye on you. For now on until our marriage, he will be keeping a tight leash on you." Dimitri said with a cold tone.

" What for? I'm not a dog and I can't leave this place even if I tried." I said not happy about my new watch dog.

Why do I have to have Ivan around me all the damn time. This guy kinda scares me, he can kill with those knives on his belt.

" Last night I left you alone for five minutes and you managed to kiss my enemy and get drugged!" Dimitri said now sounding very angry.

" Kissed, drugged?!" Oh god! Now I remember, that guy kissed me! The whole drugged part would explain my odd behavior and lack of memory.

" I know it wasn't your fault you got drugged but...." Dimitri mumbled as he looked me in the eyes.

" If you love him, I-" he said then broke eye contact." Never mind, breakfast is down stairs." Dimitri said as he stormed out of the room.

" Way to get the boss upset." Ivan complained as he looked to me, the sound of the door slamming shut sent a shock wave through my body.

" I didn't kiss anyone, he kissed me." I said in disbelief. He was acting like I loved the guy.

" It doesn't mater, what does matter is what looks like what happened and what looks like what happened is you kissed him." Ivan said matter-of-factly.

" Why does he have to be so stubborn, I like him not that other guy." I argued as I let out a sigh.

Wait what!? Did I really just say that. My cheeks turned a bright red in a matter of seconds.

" Have you fallen for the boss? That's a surprise." Ivan said as he peered into my face. Loving every second of my obvious denial.

" Stop it, I don't like him!" I argued but it was no use.

" What's so bad about liking him. You two are getting married. So enjoy it and fall deeply in love. You're young and need to have a man in your life." Ivan said with a grin.

" What if I told you I have a boyfriend?" I asked as I gave him a stink eye.

The truth was I didn't. All I had was a cat who was gone most of the time. It really is pathetic if you think about it.

" I know you don't because, you would have missed him by now." Ivan said as he sat on the bed next to me.

" If you're not into the boss then, I'm always available. Ask whatever and I will do it." Ivan joked as he mocked me.
