You had been through a lot in a few days. Your shining candy coated sweet Cinderella story life you'd won yourself through marrying Ivan was shattered once his parents found out his son had married someone like you...And at the first sign of getting in trouble with his parents your seemingly sweet husband abandoned you.

Leaving you and the body guards his parents sent over to get him going on a wild goose chase for him. And once you finally found him you could hardly speak to him he was so tipsy...soon his parents were there and after all this it seemed like the best thing you could do was get the marriage annulled. And after all this Ivan confirmed your worst fears to you. You were nothing more than a fun time to him...

You were exhausted. Angry. Afraid. Sad...The loss of the man who you thought loved you and the loss of the life style he provided you with were crashing down on you hard...but through all this madness you found softness and warmth in the oddest place.

One of the bodyguards Igor...Incredibly kind and gentle and respectful even in this ridiculous situation. He was so calm and comforting through it all, so understanding...You were used to whiny boys being married to Ivan his bodyguard though was an entirely different story...

He's dropping you off right now to your old house. Dusty, cold, run down compared to your mansion you were sharing with Ivan. He stops the car and gives you a gentle look. "Here..." He says his voice low and soft as he reaches into his pocket. He pulls out your engagement ring Ivan had given you. Him and the other bodyguards confiscated it by order of Ivan's parents when this whole situation started, much to your annoyance. He offers the diamond on the band to you his eyes soft and gentle. "Just don't tell the others...but I thought you'd want this back."
