*dodges can being thrown* I apologize for the wait on this chapter. I have wrote and rewrote it several times, before finally deciding to end it simply. This is extremely short, but I felt it tied all of the ends that were hanging loosely. So, this is goodbye. But, not for long. I'm working on a story called The Dance of Two wolves and then decided to jump into another story called Hidden Angel. I'm not entirely sure how long each will be, but my imagination is running wild with both of them. Another chapter of Hidden Angel is in the works right this second. Farewell, goodbye, see you soon dear readers.


Rosemarie Mazur Belikova strode confidently through the entrance of the gala. To any random bystander, she would have just been a rich, young, corporation figure head. But, she was more than that.

"I would like to start with a huge thank you. To all of you. Your support means everything to my family, work and home alike. Our international headquarters is doing wonderfully, as is our applied sciences. None of this would be possible without the help of you all." The beautiful business owner raised her glass. "This is to you." She downed her champagne and applause rang out.

She was embraced by the entire public. Young girls wanted to be her, young boys fantasized about marrying her. She stopped on the way to her table to talk to many admirers and investors. Answering their many questions about her husband, son, and family at home.

A smile graced her features at the mention of her young son, Valentin Ibrahim Mazur. Her eyes flashed to the figure near the back of the gala, surrounded by guards. All of whom adored the young boy.

Everyone was surprised when the head guard claimed the child, but seeing him nestled in the huge mans arms erased any doubt. The huge figure nestled the baby to his chest with one arm, tickling and playing with his other. The muscles that bulged just underneath his white dress shirt were enough to make the hulk stutter.

His normally guarded facial features had been permanently altered into that of adoration, as they were now, gazing into the eyes of his son. The beautiful Rose soon joined the russian. He reacted immediately, more of an instinct like breathing. He reached his free hand out, curling it around the small girls frame. As he did so, his wedding band glinted in the bright light from the chandeliers.

"Roza." I chuckled at the evident whine that came from across the hall. I looked at Val's sleeping form before walking across the hall. I chuckled at the sight in front of me. A huge russian was sprawled across our bed. His head picked up at my presence, a grin spreading across his face.

"Roza." He repeated, this time in excitement. It was obvious he was exhausted from tonights benefit.

I smiled as I sat next to him, wrapping my arms immediately around his neck. He responded instantly, wrapping his huge biceps around me, pulling me into his lap. I planted a fiery kiss on his lips and shuddered at the growl that emanated from his chest.

As he pulled me down to the bed, my last thought was of how perfect my life had turned out. Sure, it started out rough, and there were many things that had to be overcome. But, at the end of the day, surrounded by my family and friends, I wouldn't have asked for anything different. I was living in my own paradise, as The Heiress of Mazur Enterprises.
