Dance Of Seduction

Chapter Fourteen
The coldness seeped into her skin and she felt as though she was flying, she could vaguely recall the distant whirring of the sirens.

Was she going to die?

"Serena" the voice sounded so far away yet so near she felt warmth tingle in her veins and sighed.

Darien looked down at the women lying unconscious on the ambulance stretcher, her frigid fingers held within his own. He couldn't take his eyes of the crimson liquid that had stained her clothing with its sticky substance.

God couldn't be so cruel, how could he have put such an angel on this earth only to take her from him? It just wasn't fair.

Her felt her sigh and his gaze fell upon her face, the natural blush of her cheeks had given way to a pale pallor and she looked so fragile to him.

He couldn't lose her not now not when he loved her so much.

His thought back to all the times he had kissed her, the times he had been wrapped in the sweet warmth of her body the way her breath had feathered across his skin. He couldn't live a life without that again.

He had realised that until she had come into his life he didn't know what it felt like to be truly alive and now that she had showed him fate was trying to snatch her away.

Well he wouldn't play fate's game.

What Darien played for he played to keep and he didn't play fair he wouldn't lose her of that he would stake his life on.

Mina looked over the documents held in her hand Hex was becoming a fast learner in the field but it wasn't really where her thoughts lay.

She was thinking about Andrew and Serena!

Mina hated to admit but her friend and employee was right in falling in love, oh Serena was stubborn enough to deny the fact but Mina knew her better than that.

Mina only wished that things could have turned out differently but she had a feeling that Serena would only end up with heartache.

Lifting the phone off its cradle she sighed there was just no other way.
Darien looked up and focused bloodshot eyes on his friend as he entered the hospital lobby, it had been four hours since they had taken Serena away and he hadn't heard anything since.

"Hey man you ok?" Andrew asked placing a Styrofoam cup of coffee in his friend's hands.

Darien merely nodded hardly hearing the words, he was beyond listening now beyond caring.

"Look man she's going to be ok, I mean I don't know here as well as you do but she seems to be a fighter, you just got to believe in her man that's what she needs" Andrew said settling on his haunches to look at Darien's drooping head.

"I'm going to lose her" Darien mumbled just as the vibrations starting hitting his pocket.

Damn mobile he thought savagely why hadn't he turned the stupid thing off, cursing he strode out of the hospital complex and answered the call.

Andrew watched his friend walk away and his heart went out to him, it would be so horrible if the one woman you fell in love with were taken from you after you'd spent most of your years trying to find her.

He watched Darien's posture become rigid and frowned his face seemed to change from that of grievance to a cold mask.

Something was terribly wrong.

He watched confusedly as he walked back inside his movements calm.

"I need to go somewhere Andrew" she said softly and Andrew felt ice slide down his spine.

When Darien talked like that it usually meant that something was wrong very very wrong.

"You ok man?" he asked and Darien laughed.

"Lets just say the wool fell from my eyes" he replied heading for the door.

Mina looked down at the phone and she felt the overwhelming urge to cry, she was entertaining emotion and that wasn't allowed.

She was the biggest bitch of them all so why should she feel remorse for what she had done?

She had spent years trying to fight off would be employers who had tried to take Serena off her, she was one of the best no she was the best her skills far surpassed that of anyone in her family and she would be damned if she was going to lose her over her emotions.

"Forgive me Serena," she said lightly "but there was no other way."
Focusing her hazy gaze on the ceiling Serena felt the sharp stab of pain and whimpered.

"Hey its ok" said a masculine voice and she turned her head and managed to get Andrews blurry vision to focus properly.

"Andrew?" she croaked and he took hold of one of her hands.

He smiled down at her and touched her cheek she smiled back thankful that there was a friendly face to greet her but wishing that it had been Darien she was looking at.

"How touching" said a sarcastic voice from the doorway and they both turned to see a rumpled Darien standing within its frame.

"Hey man where've you been you left hours ago" Andrew questioned and Darien shrugged his shoulders.

"I had a meeting with someone" he replied and Andrew frowned.

"Can you leave us alone for a while please Andrew" Darien said coldly and Andrew nodded before giving Serena's hand a squeeze.

Darien noticed and narrowed his gaze.

"Now" he hissed and Andrew scurried from the room tossing a look of concern in Serena's direction.

One the door shut Serena cast a beaming smile at him and patted the bed.

"I'm so happy you're here come and si." She got no further before Darien was spitting rage at her.

"Save it you fucking lying bitch," he snarled and mouth hung open at his vehemence.

"Darien what's the matter? She said worriedly and he laughed at her.

"Don't you Darien what's the matter me, how could you do this to me you deceiving little cow" he shot at her and Serena felt her heart clutch in fear.

He knows.

She looked at his angry face and knew then that he had found out her secret that she had been paid to kill him.

"Is it um is it about my contract" she hedged to ask and he laughed again.

"You catch on quick" he mused although there was no humour in his gaze only a glassy iciness that she had never seen before.

"Please I can explain" she said and he held up his hand silencing her.

"Save it I don't think I can stomach any more of your lies" he said his voice cracking.

"But I love you Darien" she said desperately needing him to listen to her.

"Well I sure as heck don't love you" he said his eyes filling with tears as the lie threatened to choke him.

She bit back a sob and he turned his back on her openeing the door.

"I never want to see you again don't ever come near me again or I'll have you put in jail so fast you won't know what hit you" he threatened glad that she couldn't see the pain in his eyes as he lied to her.

Glad she couldn't see that his heart was breaking.

He held his head up and walked out of the room slamming the door behind him.

He kept on walking out into the parking lot into his car and only then did he allow the pain he felt to take reign as his eye began to fill.

Serena looked at the door still heard the echo of the slam, he was gone and she felt as though her world had shattered.

The heartless cruel words he had flung at her had felt like a dagger to her heart.

Now she had nothing she had sacrificed everything and she had lost.

"Oh Darien" she whimpered and let her tears fall freely as she felt the fragments of her broken heart shred what was left of her soul.
