Today is my parents anniversary. My dad loves my mom a lot, and one way of showing that to her is spending a lot of money on her.

Every anniversary dad throws a party. A formal party.

And dad called us last night to come, and to forget everything, and just be there on time.

"Noah,you go in your car. Seriously, I'm going to be a little late" I say applying my nude lipstick.

I stand up as he sighs

"Fine. Call me as soon as you get there. I have to leave and pick up the other guys from work" I nod as he kisses my forehead, and walks out of my room.

"Oh! You look like a cow!" He shouts from downstairs.

"I look more beautiful than you!" I shout back

"I know. Because I'm handsome. Bye!" I hear the front door close.

"Asshole" he got the last word.

I shake my head, as I pick up my baby pink heels, and wear them.

I hear the doorbell ring downstairs. I walk downstairs, after grabbing my phone.

I open the door to see Dimitri.

His eyes widen at me.

"Woah...Kare-bear..you look beautiful" he whispers looking at me up and down slowly.

His eyes land on my face.

"Dimitri? Can I help you?" I ask and he nods

"A lot. Come with me" he holds my hand, pulling me towards a black Ferrari.

"I need to be somewhere else. Let go" I try to pull my hand out of his.

He stops and turns to me.

"I just need you to sign a few papers for me. Please. This is important kare-bear. For me" I frown at him.

"I have to sign papers?" He nods opening the door for me.

"I read the papers first" he nods again as I sit inside.

He closes the door and walks around and sits down in his seat.

"Can this be quick? I need to go home" I say as he drives over the speed limit.

"Yeah. It's going to take about 5 minutes. It depends on how slow of a reader you are" I nod

"Where are we going?" I ask

"Registration office" I frown as he parks outside Carrington registration office.

He gets out of the car, and walks towards my door.

He opens it, and holds my hand, pulling me out.

People stare at me as I follow him inside.

"What are we doing here Dimitri?" I whisper as we walk into a room. The first thing I see is 20 guys, with guns pointed at 2 people.

Dimitri closes the door.

"We're getting married" I frown

"No we're not" I try to pull my hand out of his.

He opens the door to another room and pulls me inside. He let's go of my hand, and closes the door, after getting a file of Seth.

"Dimitri! What the hell is wrong with you!" I exclaim

"I can't get married like this! First of all I'm not even wearing a wedding dress! That's besides the point! I don't know you!" I shout at him.

"Kare-bear, calm down" I run a hand over my face.

At this moment,I am so happy people invented waterproof make up.

"Kare-bear.." he walks closer to me.

I step back shaking my head.

"No. I don't want to do this Dimitri. Please" I whisper

I don't even have my gun.

"Just here me out. I'm not the bad guy here" I scoff

"At the moment you're all the bad guys" I mumble as he places a file on a table. He pulls out pictures of me.

"You're stalking me?" I look at pictures of me drinking water,or eating fries.

"No. Dennis is a our computer genius. He hacked into a someone's computer, and found out that they have been stalking you. They follow you around, the moment you took a picture of me. They know who I am- we go a long way back- and that's why you're their next target. I can protect you kare-bear if you're with me all the time. I can't protect you if you're with me 24/7. I don't know when they'll take you, but if you're with me, then I can stop it" he explains.

"So the only way to stop this is to get married to you!" I throw my hands up in the air.

"Yes and no. I know you'll have a lot of bodyguards when you're dad finds out. What do you want? Bodyguards or a family?" I frown

"These guys outside are my family kare-bear. They can be yours too" he says

"Dimitri, I can tell Noah, and he can make everything okay" I sigh

"He can't. He can't go to someone and shoot them without a valid reason kare-bear. We don't need that. I can go out and kill someone and no one will say anything." He sighs running a hand through his hair.

"I'm doing this for your benefit and mine. I can protect you always when you're in front of my eyes. And we'll only be married till I kill them" I frown

"We don't have to get married though" he smirks

"Do you think I just want to marry you? No. If they know that you're my wife, they'll know that it can't be easy to take you. Do you want to know to who they are?" I nod

"A huge mafia gang. The biggest in Carrington. You made the worst mistake of coming here kare-bear" I frown

"What the hell do the fucking mafia want with me?" I exclaim

He smirks.

"I can name a few things. Sex trafficking, maids, ransom, a-" I walk closer and cover his mouth.

"Okay." I step back, removing my arms.

"It'll only be for a few weeks, maybe 2 months. That's it. You can go your way and I can go my way" I frown at him.

"You know what could happen in those two months right?" He chuckles

"Unless you want something to happen kare-bear, no I don't know" he smirks at me.

"You could fall in love with me" he frowns.

"I'll fall back out. Let's go" he holds my hand and walks back to the room.

Everyone is talking to themselves, but they become quiet.

"Is she going to do it?" Seth asks and Dimitri nods.

"Yeah. Guys meet your new - your new what?" He mumbles to himself, as I pull my hand out of his.

"Sister in law!" Someone says

"Wait! You guys are all brothers! By blood or just friends?" I ask

"Both. Dennis is my brother by blood, and the rest are my friends. And then they have a few brothers. Like Seth, his brother is Ryan. Jordan's brother is Mark-" my phone rings.

I look at it too see its Noah.

"Where do I sign?" I ask walking closer to the two guys held at gun point.

"Put your guns down, all of you. You're scaring the poor guys" I mumble.

Everyone puts their guns downs.

"This shouldn't go to the media, about the guns. I'm not being forced" I mumble, signing the papers.

"Mr Michael" the guy hands him the pen.

Dimitri walks forward and signs all the papers.

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Michael. You're married" everyone cheers

Again with Michael? Maybe that's his undercover name. So that means the papers are fake then?

"I need to go" I walk out of the room, with Dimitri behind me.

"I'll come with you" I shake my head

"You're not dressed in  a suit" he chuckles, grabbing my hand, and stopping me on the step.

He turns me around.

"Take a good look at me kare-bear. I'm dressed in a suit. It's my wedding" I frown looking at him.

He's wearing a black suit, with a white shirt and a black bow tie.

Why do guys look hot in suits?

"I'm your husband now." He grabs my hand, and walks me towards the car. He opens the door for me.

I sit inside quietly.

What am I going to tell my parents?
What am I going to tell Noah?
What am I going to tell them?

I have no excuse.

"You can tell your parents you know. I think they'll understand" he says pulling off the pavement.

"Understand what? That I got married to a guy for protection?" I look at him

"Well yeah. It's your parents anniversary, tell them tomorrow" I shake my head.

"How am I going to introduce you? You do know that those people will tell the media that Damon Knight's Daughter Kara Knight got married? It will be breaking news by tonight" I frown

"I told you kare-bear, it's only for a couple of months. Then we can go our own ways. At the moment, Dennis is working to find out their security systems" I nod

"Is Dennis like your stalker? Does he stalk people for you?" Dimitri chuckles

"Yeah." I stay quiet as he turns the radio on.

Taylor Swift Blank Space comes on. I smile.

I don't really like Taylor Swift, but I love this song.

I stay quiet, looking outside of the window.

I think I'll die today.

"Kara!" Noah waves.

I look around to see him walking closer to me.

Dimitri stands closer to me. He's a little taller than Noah.

"Kara?" He looks at Dimitri and then back at me.

"Dimitri Michael. Kare-bear's boyfriend" he wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me closer.

"And who do you think I am? Stupid?" Noah crosses his arms.

'Noah he's my boyfriend" I mumble.

'What about Max?" I shake my head

"Max is an asshole." I say as my parents walk closer to me.

I hug dad tightly.

"Happy anniversary" I hug mom.

"Why are you late?" Dad asks

"Fashionable late" I smile and dad chuckles and looks behind me.

"And him?" Dimitri walks forward, placing his had out for dad to shake.

Dad shakes it.

"Dimitri Michael. Kare-bear's boyfriend" he says, wrapping an arm around me, again.

"Kare-bear?" Mom smiles brightly.

"What about Max?" Dad asks confused

"I'm going to break up with him. I should have done years ago. I know I'm late, but can I get some food?" Mom nods.

"Yep. It's going to be served soon, but it's dance floor. Go dance" mom pushes me and Dimitri, towards the dance floor.

"Well kare-bear, your mother's wish" he holds my hand, and pulls me towards the dance floor.

"What am I going to say Dimitri. My parents are going to hate me" I mumble, placing my hands on his shoulders, as he places them on my waist.

"Are you staying over today?" He asks and I nod

"You can go- actually no. I don't want to be the only one getting into trouble. Now that I think about it, I did a worse thing. I was in a hurry to come here, and I didn't think about it." I say

"Kare-bear, don't worry about it. It'll all be okay" he tightens his hands around me.

"It better be" I mumble

"Kara?" I hear Max's voice behind me.

"We should go" I drop my arms from Dimitri.

"Why? I was enjoying that moment" he smirks.

I shake my head, and walk off the dance floor.

Someone grabs my hand, turning me around. Max.

"Get your hand off" Dimitri walks towards me.

He grabs Max's hand, and pulls it away from mine.

"Who the fuck are you?" Max shouts at him. The music stops.

"Not here" I look at Dimitri.

He grabs my hand, and walks me towards a table.

"Kara! Are you fucking cheating on me!" Max shouts following us.

"You want to talk asshole?" I turn to him fed up.

He nods.

"Follow me" I walk past people towards a door. I open it and notice a room. I walk inside,with my family including Max and Dimitri.

"I guess you won't remember calling me, because you were to busy having sex with Rosie. But that's why I finish it with you Max. God knows how long you've been cheating on me" he goes pale in the face.

Noah starts walking towards him but I stop him.

"Noah don't. This asshole doesn't even deserve your punch. Forget it. Bye bye Max" Dimitri opens the door for him, and pushes him out.

"Is that why you're with him?" Dad asks

I look at Dimitri and he nods slowly.

"I'm married to Dimitri" I mumble and they all look at me, eyes widen.

They don't say anything.

"I did it for a reason, which is kind lf stupid now that I think about it.  I know dad, I'm a disappointment-" dad walks closer to me.

"Why did you do it Kara? Ella and I got married similar to this as well. Yes it turned put perfect, but some don't." He sighs

"Sir, it's for her protection. Instead of explaining it, I'll tell Dennis to transfer a file over to you" Dimitri says

"You're both staying over, and I want a fucking good explanation for this" dad stares at him.

"No swearing Damon"  mom slaps him on the back.

ey guys!

My WIFI has been down for a couple of days, that's why I couldn't update.

Now what do you think of Dimitri? Why would you do this Dimitri?

Anyway...
I've been reading a couple of books. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. 
I loved it so much. I'm on the second book.

I totally recommend you guys read it.
One of my favourite books so far have been Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake. I loved that book and can't wait for the sequel to come out when ever it does.

Leave a comment and a vote letting me know what you think of this chapter.

Byee!
(Any ship names for Dimitri and Karl? Maybe it's too soon? But if the ship sails, we can't stop it right?)
