Dance Of Seduction
Chapter Thirteen
Serena sipped at the water the young woman offered her, her throat dry and brittle feeling. She was unsure as to why she was here only that she was to be used as Diamonds bargaining tool against Darien.
Diamond was sure to be in for a surprise when he found out that Darien would probably laugh it off.
But what made Serena more anxious that he didn't come was Beryl's threat to tell Darien of their contract, hearing from his ex wife that the girl he had been spending time with was an assassin was not bound to sit well with him.
And she would lose him forever.
Mina was so right, she had gotten too close to her target and for that she was going to pay the price. Darien would probably have her thrown in jail for attempted murder even though she had not made any attempts on his life.
She felt the fall of tears upon her cheeks and caught the sympathetic glance of the young woman.
It was then she was hit with an idea.
"Please" she said lightly "If you help me I will make sure that you are well rewarded" she dangled the prospect of reward to the naïve young woman like bait.
"But my boss.......he'll kill me" she said starting to back away.
"Think about it" Serena said deadpan, "if the police get involved your name could be mentioned and you could go to jail" she said and saw the young woman's pallor whiten.
"But if you was to help me then I would tell them that you did, and they will go easy on you" she said lightly and saw conflict wage war over the young woman's face.
"What must I do" the young woman asked and Serena could have wept over her victory.
"Get me out of here" she said and the young woman pulled out a pocket knife with which to cut the ropes.
Darien looked over the gloomy little shacks of the docks and suppressed a shudder.
This was not his favourite place to be.
Frowning he noticed two shadows move from one of the warehouses a minute before the huge lights came on and a harsh sounding alarm rang loudly.
He recognised Serena instantly and she was with a young woman.
He hid behind one of the boats and waited for the appropriate moment.
Serena saw the terror on Lila's face (she had enquired her name).
Turning she saw a few guards and Diamond striding in her direction his feature grim and his guards aiming rifles in their direction.
"How dare you defy me you little bitch" Diamond shrieked at her and she tossed her head in defiance.
"I am not a piece of your property Diamond and you will not treat me as such" she stated with bravado.
He laughed at her before advancing a few more steps, don't kid yourself Serena you know that you want me he husked and she felt revulsion well up inside her.
"I wouldn't have you if you came gift wrapped with a bow" she stated and his face darkened in anger.
It was then that Lila decided to move, the guards took aim and Serena knew what was about to happen.
She pushed the younger woman into the water just as the guard fired off a round.
She landed on the floor with a sickening thump and felt nothing but a fierce pain she looked at her hand and saw that it was covered with blood.
Turning her head she saw that Diamond and his guards where fleeing the scene as the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance.
She felt strong arms close around her and encountered worried blue eyes.
"Darien" she gasped and coughed harshly as more pain welled up inside her.
"Serena" he choked out and she reached a blood stained hand up to his cheek them traced his lips.
"Shhhhhh" she whispered and smiled at him.
"I love you Darien" she husked and heard his choked sob, before her head began to spin.
She felt her mind slipping away and soon she was lost in darkness and it took her away from the light.
Darien watched her grow limp and felt the tears form in his eyes, he was about to lose the woman he loved and his heart was breaking.
The police and the ambulance arrived and she was bundled in to the back, all the while Darien held her hand and preyed to whatever god would listen that she would stay in this world with him!
Hey guys more story up and here's the bad news its nearly finished. I've enjoyed this story though. I might start a spin off one about Mina and Andrew if you're interested in reading one like that let me know in your review! Thanks for all the reviews as well.
