Pain. That is all I feel as the blackness drifts away. I fight to open my eyes but they are just not cooperating at the moment. That's when I hear something and my eyes fly open, only to see a blurry man leaning over me. My instincts kick in and I scream. The last thing I remember is fighting the three stragoi, so one must have taken me hostage, shit. Before I am completely aware of my actions I sit up and throw a punch at the man, who even though he is surprised, he manages to grab my wrist so I try with my other arm and he catches that too. I start to struggle and he just pins me down to what appears to be the bed I'm lying on.

"Get the fuck off me you slimy stragoi!" I yell.

"Calm the fuck down! I'm not a stragoi so shut up and stay still!" he yelled back.

So in true Rose Hathaway form I tried slapping him across his face, the jackass. He just caught my wrist again, growling, he pinned my arms to my sides.

"Let me go." I said in my most menacing voice.

"Not until you calm down." he growled out.

"Fine!"

"Now are you going to try and hit me again because if you are I will just lock you in here."

I shook my head. This guy had some serious anger issues. I thought I was bad and stragoi were scary, but this guy takes the cake.

"Now, that you aren't trying to assault the man that is trying to help you, I will explain what the hell is going on. I found you on my property, passed out and bleeding with three dead stragoi around you. So I brought you back here to clean you up. I was just about to stitch up the gash on your head when you woke up. So if you don't mind I will finish and then we can talk, ok?" he told me. Still sounding pissed off.

I nodded again and he went to work. For being such an ass he was actually quite gentle with me. It hurt and I winced a few times but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. When he finished he started talking again.

"Now, I have to take care of some business, there is a bathroom through there and everything you could ever need. When you're finished dial one on that phone and someone will come fetch you for dinner. I don't want you walking around here unattended." he said his voice still harsh.

"That won't be necessary thank you. I will just be on my way now. Thanks for the stitches." I said coldly.

"Well too bad what I say goes. You will do as I say, and you will join me for dinner so we can discuss what to do with you. You have only two options now that you're here. You can sign a non-discloser agreement that states that you will never step foot on my property again, and that you will never tell anyone about this place. Or you can stay here for the rest of your life."

"Excuse me? What the fuck kind of options are those? There is no way in hell I'm going to do either of those." I spat out at him.

"In that case you will stay locked in this room until you choose."

"Fine I will! But mark my words, you will regret this. No one, and I mean no one tells me what I can and cannot do."

"Well I just did darling so too bad. In this world my word goes! You will learn this over time."

With this he got up and left.

"Jackass." I murmured under my breath as he was walking out the door.

So quick I didn't know what was happening he was back in my face.

"I heard that! Watch your mouth, or I will watch it for you!"

I just walked away into the bathroom slamming the door. I heard him mumble something under his breath along with the door closing and the distinct sound of a lock locking. I ran into the other room and tried the door, that bastard locked me in here! There was no way this was happening. I went to my bag and grabbed a bobby pin. Straightening it out I went to the door, and proceeded to pick the lock. After about thirty seconds there was a satisfying click and the door was open. I grabbed my bag and yanked the door open only to be faced with the bastard himself.

With a snide smirk and a glare he walked towards me, as I slowly backed into the room.

"I figured you would try something. I will have two of my best guards stationed outside your door at all times. I saw what you did to those stragoi so I'm not taking any chances. And before you even try the window doesn't open and were too high up for you to jump." he said this all smug like.

I huffed threw my bag back down and turned my back on him. I would not be gracing him with a response, he wasn't worth the brainpower. I heard him leave then laughing.

I decided to go ahead and take advantage of the shower so I could get the grime and blood off of me.

xXx

After my shower, which was really nice and relaxing, I came out to get my bag only to find it gone and in its place a box. This can't be good. I decided to go for it and look inside, I really wish I hadn't. It was a dress. It had a light blue bust with dark blue from there down. It would come about knee length and had spaghetti straps. There was also a bra, pantie, and slip on shimmery blue flats. I was pissed! No comfy jeans and tee shirt that I was planning on, seeing as my bag with all of my stuff was now gone. Who did this guy think he was? Yes he said basically it's his kingdom and what he says goes, but forcing me to stay locked in this room and taking my clothes only to replace them with a dress! That was just too fucking far!

So still in my towel I went to the door and slammed my fist on it until someone opened the door for me.

"Yes miss?" asked one of the guards.

"What in the hell is this!" I yelled holding up the dress.

"Mr. Belikov, desires that you wear this for dinner miss."

"Well too bad. Also you can inform that bastard that I will certainly not be eating with him! I'd rather starve."

"I really would recommend you put that on and join him. He tends to get upset when things do not go his way, and you really don't want that believe me." he said with tenderness in his eyes.

"I could care less to be honest, so please let him know." with that said I shut the door before he could answer me. I decided to grab the robe I saw in the bathroom and explore what was all in this room.

As I was grabbing the robe and had just thrown the towel on to the floor the door banged open. I shrieked trying to cover myself from the intruder, who happened to be non-other than the dictator himself.

"What the hell are you doing I'm naked you ass hole!" I yelled.

"Do I look like I give a shit? I was informed by your guard that you went going to come to dinner. Well too bad you will be ready in five minutes, and if you're not I will drag you to the dining room however you are dressed. And so you know I have a business partner who is here and will be joining as well." he said as gruff as ever.

"What am I supposed to wear? You really don't think I am going to wear this do you?" I asked him incredulously.

"Yes I do. If you don't want to wear it then come naked I really don't care, but I have a feeling you do. Now you have three minutes left I suggest you get dressed. I will wait outside knock when you're ready." with that he left.

I hurriedly put on the clothes and put my waist length hair in a ponytail. I was going to make his night a living hell if it was the last thing I do. I knocked on the door and without a word followed him out.
