Hey beautiful! So, this is my first story in about half a year, I may be a bit rusty, so… yeah. Sorry. I have majority of the chapters written, and I will post them randomly, I don't have a pattern or anything, I just post when I have time between school, work and other commitments. So, enjoy :D

Preface...

Today was the big day! She had finally worked up the guts to confront him and ask him out.

He was under the ancient weeping willow, its long branches touching the ground, nearly hiding the old wooden seats that groan with even the slightest wind. He was sitting on the seats with the rest of the 'popular' kids, which consisted of moroi and dhampirs, his tanned face broke out in a grin at something his friend, Adrian Ivashkov said. His deep brown eyes sparkled excitedly and the wiry muscles rippled under his tight grey t-shirt.

Dimitri Belikov was a dhampir who was an awesome fighter but also a lady killer with an ego the size of mars. His long, shaggy brown hair fell into his stunning brown eyes that made ladies melt. His long tanned body relaxed as he sat with his friends. Every now and then when he smiled you could see his pearly whites flash. He was the kind of guy every girl wanted but couldn't get and that every guy wished they could be.

Rose noticed all of this, as she walked across the grounds and towards him. Her long maroon hair in two greasy plaits, braces glinting in the sun. Her beautifully defined face covered in acne and all splotchy. She was so short that people often mistook her as a year four student when really she was in year seven. She was 'awkward socially' as Dimitri's friends said. Her pretty brown eyes glinted in anticipation as she made her way to Dimitri.

Everyone under the tree looked up when Rose came through the curtain of branches. All chatter ceased, all eyes turned to her and all thoughts were about her. All minds swirled around the one thought, 'how dare this rotten unpopular girl come to our area?' Who was she to come into an area that she wasn't even invited into?

Rose cleared her throat catching everyones attention. "Um... well, I guess you're all wondering what a 'nerd' like me is doing here. First you need to understand something. You all know that my mum was a single mother, yes?" Everyone nodded in confirmation. "Well, ah... I met my dad today-"

Mia Renaldi interrupted, her family was poor, and the only reason she was in the 'popular' group was because she was cold-hearted and was the best at spreading gossip in the whole school. "And your point is? You met your dad. Wow. Sooo interesting." She rolled her eyes and cackled with everyone.

Avery piped up. "I bet he isn't even a royal moroi or doesn't have any money. Just some poor guy that cleans toilets." Everyone cackled again.

Rose glared. When she spoke again it was in a sickly sweet tone. "Oh but honey, that's where your wrong. My dad isn't some servant who cleans toilets or cleans anything for that matter. You guys probably know him. His name is-" She was cut off by a deep, yet quiet, voice that sent chills up everyones back.

"Rosemarie is quite right. I do not clean anything; my servants do it for me. My name is Ibrahim Mazur, I'm Rose's father." He stated. Everyone was gaping at the man who had just come through the long, soft branches of the willow tree. His brown hair, the same colour as Rose's, was long, nearly touching his shoulders, he had a black and blue pin stripped suit on with a bright, fluro green scarf around his neck and a single gold hoop in his left ear. As funny as he looked, no-one dared to laugh, smirk or even scoff at him. He had an air around him that just screamed dangerous- and filthy rich.

Everyone was silent until Rose scoffed. "What are you doing here Baba? I thought you were waiting in the car." Everyones eyes widened when she said that. He seemed too scary to talk to like that.

He chuckled. "I was worried about you, Kizim. You were taking too long."

Rose rolled her eyes and spoke again. "I hadn't even been gone five minutes." She looked at him with a 'are you serious' look. "You're a worry wart." She said accusingly and lightly poked him in the ribs.

He chuckled again and then sighed. "I'll be waiting in the car, Kizim. Okay?" She smiled at her father and nodded. He smiled back at her and left.

"Holy shit." Avery muttered. Rose turned and glared at her.

"Have you got something to say? 'Cause you might as well come out and say it." She snarled.

Avery sat up straighter and turned her 'bitch' glare on Rose. "Yes. I do have something to say. Do you even know who that is?"

Rose rolled her eyes and smirked. "Yes. I know who that is. He is my father, isn't he?" Everyone nodded.

"Of course he is your father but do you know what he does?" Asked Adrian, speaking for the first time.

Rose sighed again. "Yes. He's a mobster, lawyer, trillionaire... whatever you want to call him. Because he probably is or was at one time." She rolled her eyes, took a deep breath and spoke again. "Any way, that's not why I came here. I came here to ask Dimitri something." She turned and looked Dimitri straight in the eyes. Dimitri looked a bit shocked.

"Why me?" Asked Dimitri, a confused look on his face. "What do you need to ask me?" Why would Rose, a girl that all he knew about was her dad was a very rich mobster and she was in some of his classes, want to ask him something?

Rose looked at him, her face soft and caring. "I need to know Dimitri. Have you ever loved me? Even a little bit? Or would you ever love me? I need to know before I leave. Have you? Or will you ever?"

Everyone was quiet for a while, shocked at first. But when it finally set in they all burst out laughing. Dimitri, the Dimitri Belikov, loving Rose Hathaway, the super loner who didn't have any friends? Seriously? Dimitri looked shocked at first but then started chortling with his friends.

Was she serious? How could he ever love anyone as ugly and friendless as her? He found it extremely funny.

"What?" Rose asked, her voice wavering because she was on the verge of tears. "Why are you laughing?" She asked, her voice getting stronger and angrier.

Dimitri stopped laughing and looked at her. "How can you think I would love anything as ugly as you?" he hissed, his voice deadly and cold. "You are so ugly no-one would ever love you. How can you look at yourself every morning in the mirror and actually think you are good looking? Your mum should have had an abortion or the doctors should have killed you at birth. You shouldn't be alive." He snarled at Rose, who had tears in her eyes when he was speaking. By now no-one was laughing.

She let out a soft whimper. "S-so you n-never l-l-loved me?" She asked her voice cracking and wavering from the tears threatening to fall and the hard lump stuck in her throat.

Dimitri laughed once, cold and harsh. "Loved you? Never. Never have, never will." He sneered, putting as much hate into that sentence as he could. Instead of making Rose cry, it made her eyes grow cold and hard, only anger showed through, the kind of anger that could kill.

She growled, low and fierce, sounding like a dog or a wolf that was very mad. "You will regret this day, Belikov!" She shrieked, her voice rising from all of the pent up fury.

Dimitri smirked. "I don't believe I will."

"I will get my revenge, Belikov, just you wait." She snarled her face red from anger, a sneer on her lips.

"Oooohhh. Now you're calling me by my last name. Ahh! I'm in sooo much trouble!" He sneered. All his friends laughed.

Rose growled again and an evil smirk came across her face. "I promise, Belikov, I will come back and break your heart. Your heart will be mine, whether you want it to be... or not." With that last creepy note she spun around and stormed off toward her dad's parked limo. Dimitri and his friends all jumped up and ran to see what was happening.

When the back window of the limo rolled down and both Mazurs' in the car glared at Dimitri. Abe looked pissed at the fact that his daughter's heart had just been broken and Rose just had a look of revenge on her face. It was obvious from the glare that Abe was giving Dimitri and his friends that he had heard what had happened. The limo drove off.

Abe hugged his daughter when the window was up and they were through the school gate. "Don't worry, Kizim. You will be back soon," His face hardened. "And that boy will regret breaking your heart."

"I will make sure I break his heart as much as he broke mine, Baba. Maybe even more. No-one and I mean no-one, messes with a Mazur." Rose promised her face hardening with hate at the thought of the guy who had just broken her heart.

Back at the school Adrian whistled. "Man, you are so dead. He has like thousands of millions of dollars. He could order one of his mobsters to kill you. Or pay your family money for them to give you to him so he can torture you. Like I said, you are sooo dead."

That was year seven... and this is modern day year twelve...
