Chapter 3: Discoveries
Eva Castleground sat looking out her window, to the great view of the vast manicured lawns of the Castleground estate, she had all this and yet she hated the person who continued to make them wealthier, she hated her daughter Serena Castleground, Serena was the version of her father so beautiful and calm, but there had been another beauty before Serena, another child a beautiful brown haired girl with light green eyes, yet Eva had been forced to give her up, she had to give up her child so that she could have married Adam Castleground, he would never know she had had a child before and she would be his angelic ever caring wife, at first she had loved her husband dearly, but soon her greed for power took over and she began to hate Serena, she took up to much of Adam's time, they did everything together Eva had just been a toy to give birth to Serena and Adam made Serena take business lessons and to Eva's horror Serena began to dream of taking over the company, Eva wanted the company for herself, she wanted Serena to know nothing of the business world but Adam interfered in her plan, he loved Serena too much and yet Eva had to watch from the shadows, and then Serena had gone to Italy pregnant with the bastard twins of Darien Shields when she was only twenty a total disgrace for Eva, they were able to hide Serena from the merciless media, there would not be another Castleground scandal, not if Eva could help it.
Eva stared at her reflection on the window pane, now here she was dying of heart cancer and only Serena wanted to take care of her. Eva sometimes wondered what her first little girl looked like now, nobody in the family knew, and when Adam died she wanted to use the money to find her lost daughter, but the son of a bitch had left a will she didn't even mourn his death, she had cheated on him several time and still didn't really care at all, the reins of the company were to be run by Serena only and that Eva wasn't to touch any money from the company except her monthly allowance. Eventually Adam hadn't been as stupid as he had seemed, then there was still hope, she tried to manipulate Serena, but the girl had a heart of steel when it came to business, Serena knew every trick in the book and could never be fooled. And now there were her bastard grandchildren, she let out a harsh laugh, how could have thought, she Eva Castleground a grandmother, but her heart was unusual, she felt nothing but pure hate towards these people who where supposed to be her family. She rested her head on the window pane and saw Serena walking hastily through the lawns as if she had seen the devil itself, which Eva secretly hoped had happened, the twins were beside her both oblivious to their mother's discomfort, Eva stood up and plastered a fake smile, she left her room to meet the person she hated most, her daughter.
Serena entered through the back door of the mansion with Alan and Michael trudging happily behind her, the door led into the five star kitchen, she ignored the servants' curious looks as of why she was entering through the back door and held her sons' hands and went into the family room.
There was a woman with cold golden eyes sitting on the Charles IV sofa gracefully, she had chin-length brown hair that seemed thinner from all the cancer treatment she had been taking, but nevertheless she was and always would be the cold regal woman who had never played the role of a mother for her daughter, Eva's slender form was dressed in a spotless expensive Calvin Klein champagne suit, she stood gracefully, the fake smile Serena knew so well was pasted on her face and raw hatred in her golden eyes.
"Mother" she said coolly, the woman nodded and opened her arms, reluctantly Serena stepped in them and gave her a stiff hug, the boys also followed grudgingly. Eva smiled at them and said "Well Serena I haven't seen you in a long time darling, you must sit and talk with me, come now" she motioned to a chair nearby, but Serena continued standing and said almost wearily "No thank you mother I've had a very strange day, I will go to my room now to rest." Eva stared at her daughter, Serena had never refused talking with her ever, though Eva knew Serena hated speaking with her, it was matter of courtesy, and now she did, something MUST have happened. Serena turned and headed for the grand staircase, Alex and Michael followed her as usual, and linked their hands in hers, it was visible that Serena loved her sons dearly and they did she, but Eva cursed Serena cursed her for having what she never had, cursed her for having all she ever wanted.
Serena sat beside the fireplace of her bedroom, her head laying on the cushions she had placed on the carpeted white floor, it was her first day in Atlanta and she had already met with Darien, yes, he was more handsome than ever, that night she had made love with and boy, but now he was a man, his eyes had been so intense so damn piercing and so mesmerizing, they were driving her crazy, and what of Alan and Michael, no Darien couldn't find out about their sons, no they were HER babies and no one else's. But there had been a beautiful woman on Darien's arm, who was she? It didn't matter now, what mattered was that she keep Darien way from Alan and Michael at all costs, he was never to know the truth about their paternity. She sighed in frustration as she fell into a troubled sleep.
"So Darien what about you then?" asked Saori, but Darien's mind was somewhere else he seemed distant and he often zoned out of their conversation, Saori was really irritated, Serena was back in town and also back into Darien's life, how could one stupid woman have such an effect on a man like Darien, it wasn't fair, she had everything under control until she showed up. What was Darien thinking? Couldn't he see that she alone could make him truly happy not some ditzy tomboy blonde. Darien stood up from their table abruptly, he tossed the napkin beside his untouched plate and tossed a couple of bills on the bill tablet, then he looked at Saori and said "I must go now, I will see you tomorrow at work, good bye." And with those words he was gone out the door, Saori stared after his retreating form a plan quickly forming in her calculative mind, he was going to go to the bitch, Saori knew it. "Fuck her" she swore heatedly her light green eyes flashing with rage.
Darien jogged up the main steps of the Castleground estate, he hadn't been here in five years to be exact, he knew Serena was here, he needed to speak with her even for a minute. He was about to knock when the door was flung open there stood one of the little boys smiling widely, then he saw the cause of the smile the other boy was covered in flour from head to toe and seemed to want to murder his twin brother.
"Hiya mister" Alan chimed and then his behind him as Michael came nearer, Darien chuckled and lifted Alan into his arms, he felt a wave of warmth rush over him as he held the raven haired toddler who had now buried his face in Darien neck. Michael's anger was now forgotten as he looked at Darien with new interest.
Darien asked "Hey kiddo, where's your mom?" Michael shrugged and said "She's in her room I guess." Darien sighed and Alan snuggled closer to him, it took Darien only a second to realize Alan had fallen asleep, he looked at Michael who said "Hey while mom comes down would you like to see our photo album?" Darien nodded; it seemed there wasn't anything better to do anyways. Michael smiled and motioned for Darien to follow him still with a sleeping Alan in his arms.
Michael opened the door and Darien stepped into a lavishly furnished bedroom he had been here before, he had been everywhere in the Castleground mansion, just as Serena had been every where in the Shields mansion they had been best of friends after all, Darien headed for the bed and Michael removed the Versace bedspread for Darien to lay Alan down. When he did so Michael walked over to his closet and took out a big photo album, they both sat comfortably on the twin armchairs in the room.
After they spent half an hour going through pictures, then suddenly Darien asked "So what about your dad?" Michael's face fell and he looked away and said sadly "We never knew him" Darien looked taken aback and said "Sorry." Michael smiled and took out the last picture, Darien recognized it immediately, it was a picture of a black haired guy and a short haired blond girl with her arm wrapped around him, the guy was him. Michael looked up from the picture and asked "You see that guy there?" Darien nodded and Michael continued "Well he's my dad."
Darien's eyes widened in disbelief and he stared from the picture to Michael and then again.
Serena walked toward Alan's room, she had just woken from a very horrible nap, she was going to check on Alan and Michael, they were probably playing in their rooms, Serena reached the door of Alan's bedroom and opened a big smile on her face, but soon that smile faded with a look of pure horror, Darien Shields was in the bedroom with Alan asleep on the bed and Michael showing him some pictures from the photo album, Serena knew very well what those pictures were and she was going to put a stop before he reached, the photograph that could destroy her world completely. A gasp escaped her lips as Darien turned to look at her, but his eyes held no warmth they were icy and filled with fury, Serena looked from Darien to the picture he was holding in his hand, it WAS the picture she didn't want him to see, she started trembling, Darien stood up from his chair and reached, he took her by the elbows and hissed angrily "Damn it Serena, Why didn't you tell me? Is it really true?"
Serena could only stare at him shakily her eyes wide, she forced her way out of his iron grip and said "We shouldn't be talking in front of them" she pointed to the boys, Darien nodded grimly and followed her as she headed for the door, closing it with a soft click.
Serena led Darien into the family room, and motioned for him to sit but he stood his ground and stared at her squarely, "Is it true, I'm their father?" he asked brokenly, Serena averted her gaze, not wanting to make eye contact and she whispered so only he could hear, "Yes Darien, you are Alan and Michael's father."
