Chapter Twelve
Dance Of Seduction
The ropes that tied her to the chair bit ruthlessly into the delicate skin at her wrists. The blindfold only added to the fear she was consumed with and the gag that had been tied to her mouth tasted stale.
She tried not to move and she heard the distant echo of footsteps approach, one male and judging by the click of heels the other definitely female.
She shifted a bit and tried once again to wriggle out of her restraints but the biting rope was brutal and she whimpered as her flesh ripped due to her struggles.
"I see you are uncomfortable Miss Waters" a raspy masculine voice penetrated the silence. "Perhaps we can make you more at ease" he said lightly and he pulled the blindfold from her eyes.
She recognised him instantly she had seen his face on the news a thousand times over.
Vincent Diamond.
He held in his hand a recording device and she assumed that he had been recording her while she had struggled to escape.
He held it up again and recorded her, her eyes spat fire at him and she saw his mouth light up with a grin.
Turning her head she noticed his partner a tall women with a mass of flaming curls cascading down her back.
"I understand you have an official agreement with Beryl" Vincent said and Serena's eyes widened.
This was Beryl Goober? She had never actually met the women so she could not pass judgement on how she looked.
She was stunning.
Her skin was pale and flawless and her voluptuous figure was encased in a black cat suit that looked as though it had been painted on.
"It's so nice to meet the woman who's been screwing my husband" she spat at her and Serena flinched at the scorn in the other woman's tone.
"But we're about to level the playing field honey, I'm about to give my no good goody-two-shoes ex husband a piece of my mind and when I'm done honey he'll know exactly who you are" she finished scathingly.
Walking over to Vincent she placed a passionate kiss on his lips, which he returned with vigour.
"Make sure she looks pitiful baby," she cooed to him as she turned to leave and Vincent gave her a wicked grin before she exited the room.
"Alone at last" Vincent said actually and slipped the tape from the recorder into a large brown envelope.
He placed it on a nearby table and walked up to Serena trailing a hand down her cheek.
"I can see why he wants you" he husked into her ear and she shuddered in revulsion.
She jerked her head away from him and glared defiantly at him her eyes passionate with hatred.
"Such fire" he said casually capturing her chin with his hand then tightening his hold when she tried to yank it from his grasp.
"Be warned Serena I am not a fair man and what I want I always get" he husked biting her neck.
"I've left my mark on you" he said his velvet voice deepening.
Turning he left the room picking up the envelope on his way out, "I doubt Darien will want you after all this" he said tauntingly and she felt her eyes well up with tears.
She only wished that she could have told him of her deception herself and now it was too late.
She was about to lose the man she loved.
Darien paced his office angrily it had been over 24 hours and he had not heard anything from Serena........he was beginning to worry.
He raked his hand through his hair and drained his mug of coffee.
"Mail for you sir" Lita said lightly as she entered the room, she placed the mail on his desk before adding "oh and this package came for you this morning as well sir" then picking up his files from his out pile she left the room.
Darien frowned down at the brown envelope he hadn't ordered anything so he was unsure as to what would be in the package.
Tearing open the tatty paper he looked down at the plain black videotape, no label was evident.
Buzzing the intercom he heard Lita's voice answer on the other end with a cheery. "Yes Sir"
"Lita can you bring me in the video player please" he asked and she buzzed off to go in search of the thing.
Two minutes later she was wheeling in a top notch T.V complete with VCR.
"Thank you Lita" he said with a smile and she reached out to take his now empty mug.
"Your welcome sir" she replied then ushered out of the room.
Darien placed the video into the player and switched on the T.V pressing the play button he sat back in his chair and waited.
A women came onto the screen and he recognised her instantly it was Serena.
Then a young man came onto the screen and he recognised him too, it was his business nemesis............Vincent Diamond.
"Hello Hunter" Vincent said jeeringly at him a grin etched on his smug face.
Darien felt his hands ball into fists and suppressed the urge to smash the T.V screen in.
"As you can see I'm entertaining a guest, such a spirited young girl and if you'd like her to stay that way you'll hand over the half shares to your company...........I'll be waiting at the docks I'll be in one of the buildings.............I suggest you move quickly Darien or I may just take advantage of her girlfriends shall we say inability to escape."
The picture switched back to Serena who cried out as she struggled against the roped before a snowy white took over the screen.
Darien flicked the power switch on the remote and the screen plunged into blackness.
They had Serena and they wanted his company.
Darien was faced with a moral dilemma hand over the deeds to his company and watch all the people he employed be thrust out onto the street including his best friend.
Or rescue the woman he loved.
A tortured cry rang from his lips and he hurled the remote across the room feeling satisfied when it smashed against the wall.
For once in his life Darien did not know what to do.
Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long, it's just that I've had a few personal problems that have got in the way of my writing but I'm back. Hope that you all like the new chapter and I'll update soon thanks for all the reviews and once again sorry for the delay.
