Couple hours later, I was laying next to Roman, I couldn't stop thinking about the name Carmen.

(Flashback)
Grandma, will my parents ever come back home, I miss my mommy and daddy, tears ran down my cheeks.

Come sit next to me my little Star, I walk towards her wiping tears off my face. She picks me up and places me on the sofa.
Ohhh boy you are starting to grow, when did you get so big. She smiled at me playfully tickling my sides. Hahaha grandma stop.

Your mother is in a better place now, she is looking down at you from heaven. I'm sorry little Star but she is gone.

But why grandma, mommy promised me she would fallow me out of our home, why did she lie.

I know honey it's hard to understand, but she wasn't lying to you, she fought hard to get out but the flames swallowed the home so quickly.

What about daddy? I sobbed.

Her eyes turned to anger for some reason.
She paused for a second.

He too did not make it out of the fire little Star.

Star, look at me for a little bit.
Whatever you do, don't ever tell anyone your real name. Promise me you won't tell a soul. From now on your name will be Star, understood.

Ok, I like that name better anyways, I giggled in between my sobs trying to make myself feel better about everything.

Mm where did my little brother go grandma, I miss him also.

Grandmas eyes showed concern. Your brother Michael did not make it out of the fire either, he is with mommy now.

Grandma, do I not have a family anymore? Ohh no little Star you have me, we are family. As for your mother and Michael, they may not be with you physically, but they will always be right in hear, placing her hand over my heart.

I placed my hand over my heart.

(Flashback ended)
I drifted off to sleep wrapped around in Romans arms.

I woke up the next morning with the bed empty beside me. As I got up I accidentally knocked over some clothes that were laid out on the bed. I quickly picked them up, when I noticed a peace of paper falls out.

The note said wear me, hmm I don't know which outfit it was meant for. Oh well, it's no big deal.

I hoped in the shower. After the shower I just chose the pink gown to wear, the other outfit seemed to hot for this weather.

I made my way down the stairs humming to myself.
I hear Romans Voice and another mans voice, but they were no where to be seen. They must be outside or something.

I began cooking breakfast for me And Roman.

I heard the door open, to the kitchen. I turned around to only see a man looking at me. He seemed familiar.

Oh hello sir, are you a friend of Roman?

Yes I am, I know you don't remember me because of the atta- accident, it's me Mike we have met a couple of times before.

I see. Sorry my memory is so fuzzy, after the car accident.

No need to apologize none of it was your fault.

I'm sure you don't remember this, but, before the accident you promised me you would sign this paper. He pulls it from his jacket.

Oh umm really, wha-what is it, ahh it's just some paperwork you promised to sign, it's no big deal.

Oh well ok, maybe I should talk to Roman before signing anything.

Roman already knows, he smiled suspiciously.
Oh well I will just double check with him.

I started walking passed Mike when he got in my way. Just sign the paper, I'm telling you Roman won't mind at all.

His hand rests on my hip, near my navel.
It would be wise of you to sign them now, he smiled down at me.

I-I C-Can't.

What the hell are you fucking doing touching my wife, Roman walks in, anger displays on his face.

Mike takes his hand off quickly, hiding the note behind him, nothing man I was just saying hello to Star, I haven't seen her for a long time.

Romans eyebrow raises, oh and you have to touch her?

Oh come on Roman your like a brother to me you know I would never look at Star in that way.

I opened my mouth to tell Roman what Happened, but his glare turned to me, roaming me up and down.

Why aren't you dressed in the clothes I told you to wear. I-I wa-as going to, but...
Stop talking and come next to me right now.

When in arms reach he grabs my arm roughly. Whispering in my ear harshly, Go upstairs and wait for me. Oh ok I replied.

Mike puts the paper back into his jacket when Roman was distracted with Star.

Did you try to flirt with my wife?
What? Hahahahaha hell no you know I don't want her like that, she was suppose to be one of your fathers whores by now.

Careful how you talk Mike. Listen, I am also your friend and business partner. I know you lied to your father about Star, I have been giving you some time with her. Fuck her, use her and get her out of your system, she is a product Roman nothing more. I can't put off telling your father for much longer. That key inside the locked box is still missing, I am pretty sure Star is not so innocent.

She doesn't have the key, someone else must of stollen it. I accidentally left the key to the locked box laying on the table. Any of my security guards or maids could of had access to them.

Well then find out who the hell has it, and fast. We have to get that key to Alexandru, that was the deal. The key in exchange for Star, our clients are very excited for the new line of product.

Mike walks out, leaving Roman fuming.

I have to find a way to keep her away from my father, and Mike is starting to turn on me.
