The Mistress
By Insanity
I was reading the Lovely story, by the name of "Web of Deceit"
by Amanda Browning, the other day and thought that it would make a cool
Gundam / Sailor Moon (which by the way are copy right of their creators,
which is not me) Fan-fiction. So here it is with a lot of editing
and character adjustments, I really hope you like they story as much as
I do. Oh and I do apologize for any occ, that occurs.
Chapter 1 - The Meeting
There were a few women in the bedroom when she walked in, and she recognised them all. They returned her greeting coolly, then proceeded to ignore her. Serena shrugged her shoulders. She was used to it by now. She tossed the mink carelessly on to the bed and, turning to the mirror, checked her appearance.
What she saw reflected there wasn't the Serena Maxwell she knew. The black designer dress clung lovingly to every curve, out lining her long legs and lovely line of hip into a narrow waist. The strapless bodice only served to emphasise the ripe swell of her breasts. Diamonds glittered at her throat and ears. Darien didn't like loose hair, so her golden locks were gathered in an elegant style which showed off her beautiful facial features and the graceful curve of her neck.
Abruptly she turned her back to the mirror and left the room not at all satisfied with what she saw. Darien was still where she had left him, one eye on the stairs even as he talked with the two men she didn't recognized. When he saw her, his eye commanded her to come over to him. Serena made her way towards them, all too aware of the three pairs of eyes that clung to the sway of her hips as she walked. There was an angry flush to her cheeks as she came to a halt, staring at the two men as they reluctantly looked away first.
Darien's hand caressed her shoulder-blades and came to
rest in the middle of her back.
" Serena, let me introduce you to two good friend of mine Jedit Franklin
and Malicite Kendal. We have some business to discus and don't want
to trouble your beautiful little head with it. So run along and
enjoy the party. I'll try not to be too long, love. I'll make it up
to you later."
Flushing, Serena turned away and muttered, "Bastured." She hated Darien even more that degrading dismissal. Behind her, male laughter broke out, and she knew she was the butt of their joke. Her colour died, leaving her cheeks pale with anger and humiliation. She knew she was the topic of conversations in more than one group she passed, and felt their eyes like steel-wool.
She halted on the edge of the vast drawing-room. Enjoy the party Darien said, knowing that she couldn't. Her eyes scanned the laughing, chattering groups of Tokyo's finest society, seeing male speculation and female contempt. The open looks and pointed comments she was meant to notice. She had been introduce to them all, but she was only tolerated because of Darien. With out him, they had no hesitation in shunning her.
Serena took a glass from the passing waiter and lifted it to the nearest group, who were staring with open rudeness. She smiled grimly as they turned away at once. "Score one for me." she muttered.
As she turned away, she was caught on the end of a Prussian blue gaze. Her startled eyes took in the height and breadth of the man. Over six feet of lean powerful masculinity. He had a shock of dark hair atop a ruggedly handsome face that had strength and authority stamped on it. He stood alone to one side. Non-conforming in a society where conformity was backbone.
She saw the approving movement of his head, and the smirk on his lips as he raised his glass to her in silent salute. She too smirked and returned the salute, sipping at her own drink. then people moved blocking him from her sight, she sighed wistfully and turned away. She followed the music to the ballroom and watch the couples dance. She loved to dance of Darien only took her on the floor to show off his possession and now her love for dancing was tainted.
She sensed someone come to stand beside her and she instantly stiffened. On her own she was a target for lone males, and being propositioned wasn't out of the question and without exception everyone wanted to sample Darien's private supply.
"That's a hell of a sight. The privileged class enjoying its privileges!" a mocking voice drawled into her ear, and she looked around in surprise, right into beautiful prussian blue eyes, which belong to the same man she'd seen earlier.
'This is new.' she thought. She was use to either being insulted or ignored and she couldn't help but smile. "It's very important!"
"Don't tell me, you actually like this?"
"Hardly!"
"No," he agreed softly, "I thought not."
The tone of his voice brought her eyes to his questioningly. He grinned, and somehow managed to look both sexy and boyish. Serena's heart tightened abruptly and her stomach did flip-flops.
"It's obvious why I'm unwelcome among my so-called peers. What makes you so unwelcome?"
Serena's eyes widened in surprised. "You must be new here," she stated dryly. She met his look and saw amusement.
"What did you do, seduce the vicar?"
Surprised into laughter, Eve shook her head. "Don't ask!" advised wryly.
"Interesting," he declared thoughtfully, eyes watching her as she laughed. Then his gaze drifted over her shoulder and he frowned. "We seemed to be attracting a great deal of attention."
Serena looked around too, having forgotten that they weren't alone. 'He's right.' she thought. 'There is enough eyes on us to outfit the Statue of Liberty. No surprise that the majority of them are malicious.'
"Talking to me could reputation," she advised.
He looked amused and intrigued. "Is that so? They must consider to be a real bitch."
She laughed and said, "No, really. For your own good, you should go." She really liked this stranger, and by the fluttering in her stomach, she knew that she could easily like him too much. Which was impossible.
What he did was shake his head and reach out to remove the glass from her fingers and set it aside. "I'll take my chances. Besides, it's only fair you should know that my reputation was ruined a long time ago." he once again let he gorgeous lips form a smirk and Serena found it very difficult to breathe.
"Now that I can believe. What did you do?"
He leant forward and his answer was for her only. She gasped and burst out laughing, which immediately drew the attention of every one in the room.
"So, now you know," he declared, eyes twinkling in response to her enjoyment. "Come on, let's dance. They seem to be playing our song."
"Our song?"
"Strangers in the Night." He said. "Lame, I know but appropriate."
"Sure, I'll love to dance." she agreed. Knowing very well that she was going to regret it later on, but there was just something about this guy she couldn't resist. Then with out a care for everyone and everything else allowed him to lead her out on the dance floor.
