You are reading my mind! Dimitri and Talin have a lot in common, yet so much different, more to come. Thank you for always reading Sacred. My number one fan!

So,yeah, you get to meet Gabriel, but only for like a second, he's sort of this tragic pillar in this story. You know, makes Talin cry... Thanks for reading.

Thank Robert for reading on.!!

Thank you Sacred. I love that you call Vlad the lady vamp, she's freaky right. She'll soon feature highly on the scale of things, so look forward to more Vladmpire...lolz.

A large tangled web, yet so simple, the twists and turns to the truth are what's so hard to bring out. Thank you for reading Lady De.

Oooh...sacred, I'm happy coz I'm answering this after I've answered all your questions and hopes...hehehe. Talin's truths are tough aren't they! Yeah, Dimitri and Talin have a strangely tough road ahead. Guess it's all about the bond between them now. Thank you for reading as always.

Thank you Rob for loving this chapter. Dimitri was struggling a lot finding a way through the many complications that find him in a day...hehe. Can't wait to see what you think of Talin's struggles. I'm grateful for your review, Robert. Thanks.

Hi Cannd, the cliffhanger sort of happened again...hehehe...but reading and answering this now feels great, as the story has moved along much further. Some of the questions are answered, some of the speculation moved out of the way. I will say I struggled with the part about Dimitri and his buddies having a conversation in the car after the big showdown with Lucian. I have a peanut gallery who're at loggerheads with me at the moment, I'll have to keep going and come back to it. They feel that the talking in the car shows just how much Dimitri is at the breaking point, your side is also right, he should be more careful. I've noted it down, and will work it to fit everyone soon. Thank you Cannd for your insight, it's truly priceless. Thanks,

9 Dimitri drove to the marina. Talin sat in the passenger staring out into the dark, the streetlights casting shadows on his features. Dimitri wished he could read minds, and then he’d know what had Talin so closed off. His heart hadn’t stopped pounding since Talin had walked out of his workshop. The thought of losing Talin… Dimitri swallowed down bile. He didn’t want to think of that at all. When they reached the marina, Dimitri drove to the old warehouse he used for Vlad’s merchandise.

Lately, I've thought a lot about meal times, not because of the food, but about who is sitting at the table with me for the meal. Most times when I write characters, I find it lonely to write them eating food alone at the dining table. It's sort of sad to spend time in the kitchen cooking, and then lay it out on the table and have only one food setting. The other day, I spent the day out in the city and passed this gorgeous Thai restaurant, I wanted to go in, but the thought of eating at a table alone felt weird to me. I didn't think the food would settle well. So, I walked in and bought take-away food and went home to share it with my housemates. Sadly, this is probably a sign that I'm getting older and getting worried of being alone. I'm not quite sure what that's about, but it seems lonely to sit at the table alone... I hope everyone gets someone to sit across from and laugh about burnt toast...and crunchy potatoes with. Happy Easter! Sui.

Did you have to kill Ron!! My poor Jake, I can't believe that happened...shocked and sad... Great chapter Sacred, keep writing more, post the next chapter quickly, I want to know what happens to Jake. That was too sad.

Hi Nefa, Thank for taking the time to read my story. Your thoughts are mine exactly about love, and people who accept us, I hope you have or will find someone for yourself like this. I wish too to write more and more... Thanks Nefa.

Thank you Onim!!

8 “My family is Bratva,” Dimitri repeated when Talin just stared at him. Talin tried to tug his hand out of Dimitri’s tight hold, the gesture instinctive, but Dimitri held tight. He was afraid if he let go, Talin might leave him. What was he thinking? Of course, Talin should leave. Wasn’t that why he’d tried to stay away from Talin two days in a row? He’d spent hours fixing the marina charter boats, handling incoming warehouse shipments, doing paperwork and shocking Lukas in the process.

Well, Cassie, your stories always leave me thinking. Derek and Alex have a tough road ahead, and sometimes it's about someone being there. Just being there, I love how you portray that. Great story!

3. The Personal Assistant – Han Jinho “Jae.” A strong hand shook him awake and he groaned in protest loath to lose his peaceful sleep. “Wake the fuck up. Shit, look at this mess. What did you bath in booze?” “Please go away,” he mumbled, snuggling deeper into his pillow. “Wake up, Jae,” Harry Yoon said shaking him again. “We need to talk.” Harry stopped shaking him. Jae hoped Harry had given up. The next second, loud blaring music filled the room and the curtains opened. The sun fill

I loved this story, truly did. You did a wonderful job and I can't wait to read Michael's story.

Congratulations Aditus, so glad for you!!

7 Dimitri fingered his cell phone in his pocket, fighting the urge to call Talin again. He wrapped his fingers around the black gadget in his pocket, his gaze on the dark water ahead. He let out a soft breath and forced his fingers to let go of the cell phone. The lake was dark, the Anastasia silent, Dimitri stood at the helm waiting for movement from the other two boats they were expecting tonight. The waiting was always the most dangerous time. His thoughts wandered to Talin. Dimitri ha

Hi J, Thank you! You're right, the truth is the hardest thing to tackle, most times it's easier to keep avoiding it, as long as things are going alright. Dimitri's truth must come out soon, I guess the anticipation here is what Talin does with it, right? As for Talin and his past, I think the only thing I can say at this point is that his past has shaped his decisions, his life in such a huge way, that it might even surprise Dimitri who lives in the grey area of life... I'll keep working as always, Thank You for always reading!!

So many questions.... :) Love it!! So, yes Dimitri's love is a bit lethal to Talin, judging with who his hanging out with. Talin is beginning to get out of his shell...seems cruel right...Well...this writer plots on... You know, I have a friend with a bookstore called 'Grigio Gato', uh that translates to the Grey Cat, lolz. I love that place! Maybe its just the fun of saying "am going to the grey cat" that makes it so addictive...don't know...Talin's 'The Turnip' sounds like so much fun right? Imagine someone saying, 'I'm going to the Turnip', you'd be like 'the what now?' Okay, my eccentricities are showing up here... hehe Yes, Dimitri and Talin have a lot unsaid between them. Talin's Gabriel will play a large role as the story continues, and Dimitri and Lucian have a complicated understanding that makes things tense for Dimitri and his family as they go on. Okay...enough spoilers..hehe, thanks Cannd for reading!

I love a rose plant too, thanks m.p.

Hehe...Robert, gotta tease... Thank you for reading, next chapter coming right up after this reply.

Thank you Jim!
