Darien POV

Days flew by quickly. My time spent with Serenity was magical. But I was still having doubt about our relationship. After all she is marrying in two weeks. Our relationship cannot continue like this. Today is the day I tell her how and feel...the rest is all up to her.

...........................................................................................................................................................

Serena: Oh Darien, I have a wonderful time today. Of course I all ways have a good time when I am with you.

Darien: So do I.

Serena: So what do you want to do for tomorrow?

Darien: About that Sere?

Serena: Huh?

Darien: Serena, I am tire of us having to keep our relationship a secret. Everything is going great. But every time I tried to talk about our relationship, you'll change the subject

Serena, you know how I feel about you. I love you but I see this relationship going anywhere. I don't want to be a last fling for you if that is what your doing. I love you too much to let that happen. I...

Serena: Darien I am sorry. I didn't know you felt like that. Our relationship means more to me to be considered a fling.

Darien: So why won't you ditch Diamond and marry me.

Serena: I wish it was that simple but it isn't. There are things you don't know about. Things I wish I can change but it not that easy. If only there was a way.

Darien: Serenity there always a way. No matter what it is we will get through it. I won't let anything happen to you, Sere.

Serena: But what if we can't?

Darien: Serenity, how can you doubt our love. Trust me in this, we will conquer everything life throws at us as long as we are together.

Serena: Oh Darien, I will see what I can do.

Darien: What do you mean?

Serena: I am breaking it off with Diamond.

Darien: Do you really mean it?

Serena: Of course I do.

Darien : Serena's you don't know how happy you made me.

...........................................................................................................................................................

( Serena now visiting her father)

Serena: Father, I have something I would like to discuss with you.

Ken: What is it?

Serena: I don't want to marry Diamond!

Ken: Serena, we already went over this several times.

Serena: I know, father, but this time I am serious. You see I don't love Diamond and will probably never would.

Ken: How can you said that when you haven't given him a chance.

Serena: I can't love him for I am in love with somebody else.

Ken. WHAT! And when did this happen.

Serena: About a month ago.

Ken: Guard! Why was I inform about this.

Guard: Sorry sir we didn't knew.

Serena: Don't take it out on them Dad. They just found out about this the same way you have.

Ken: I paid you guys to keep an eye on my daughter. Your fired!

Serena: Don't worry guys your not fired. If anyone is to blame here it me. I lie to them that why didn't know about him. I want to marry for love. And I finally found it. Darien love me and I love him. There must be some other way to save your business without me having to get marry.

Ken: Sere, do you not think if there was a way I would have found it by now. Do you think I want to see my only daughter get marry and leave me? OF course not.

Serena: But there have to be a way dad. I am sure that you and Darien, together, and come up with something.

Ken: Darien? Where have I heard that name before.

Serena: He is one of your employee.

Ken: You mean Mr. Shield.

Serena: Yes.

Ken: Well Serena, if you to really love each other I would see what I can do. Why don't you invite him to our cabin this week.

Serena: OH THANK YOU DAD. You're the greatest.

Ken: Don't I know it.

Serena: I 'll go call him right now. Bye daddy.



Ken: Ok Diamond you can come out now, she is gone.

Diamond: Finally I thought she would never leave. So what is this that I heard of your daughter not wanting to marry me?

Ken: Don't worry about Diamond.

Diamond: Just remember Ken we had a deal and I would not be made a fool.

Ken: Like I said Diamond, don't worry about by the end of this week this shall all be taken care of.

( The weekend at the cabin)

Darien: Wow this place is great.

Serena: I told you, you would like it.

Darien: It like one of those dream house you see on tv. You know the one everyone want with the white picket fence.

Serena: That why I love this place so much since it nice and cozy. Anyway let me show you to your room.

..........................................................................................................................................................

Serena: Well here your room. You might as well change since we be having dinner in less than an hour.

Serena: It was love at first sight.

Ken: Well then a toast to the two of you.

Ken: That you may have the love I had for Serena mother.

Everyone: Cheer. (Glass clicking was heard)

Ken: Well guys it was nice talking to you but I better be off to bed.

Serena: But it is only 9:45.

Ken: To a man my age, Serena, that is pretty late.

Ken: Night

Beryl: I to should be heading off to bed. See you guys in the morning.

Serena and Darien: Bye

Darien: Well I guess we should be saying good night to. Cause I don't know about you but for some reason I am feeling a little drowse. Which is strange since I don't normally sleep until really late.

Serena: IT must be all the commotion we been threw.

Darien: I will walk you to your room.

Serena: You're such a gentleman.

Darien: What can I said. It comes with the looks. Ouch what was that for?

Serena: For being conceited. Now goodnight.

Darien: Night.

............................................................................................................................................................

Ken: Finally they are asleep. Beryl you know the plan.

Beryl: OF Course! What is this the third time I do this for you?

Ken: Fourth but who counting.

Beryl: Well one thing is for sure you didn't tell me this one was going to be such a hottie.

Ken: Yes, he probably one of those pretty boy, thinking he can get everything in life through his looks. Well he sure in for a surprise tonight.

............................................................................................................................................................

( Morning)

Ken: Morning Sere.

Serena: Morning Daddy.

Ken: How did you sleep last night.

Serena: Wonderfully.

Ken: Well that good. Well it is almost breakfast so why don't you go wake up Darien?

Serena: Sure Daddy! I will be back.

............................................................................................................................................................

( knock, knock)

Serena: Darien are you awake? It is time for breakfe........

( Screaming was heard throughout)

Ken: Serena dear, are you all right? I came as fast as I can. What wrong? ( Looking in the room)

How dare you make a fool out of my daughter! To think we trusted you. And beryl you should be a shame.

( Darien just stood staring at them dumbfounded)

Beryl: Would you guys please keep it down? I am trying to sleep.

Serena: You are a tramp. How could you? Both of you get out now

Darien: Serena let me explain.

Serena: There is nothing to explain to me. You must have had a really good time joking around about this, how you play me the fool. To think I actually trusted you. And what worst is that I actually listen to you and broke my engagement with Diamond.

Darien: Sere, I don't know what happen.If you'll just let me explain

Serena: Darien I don't ever want to see you again. When I return back, you and your mistress better be out of the house.

Darien: Sere!

Ken: You heard my daughter. OUT!.

Darien: This isn't over yet. I know you have something to do with this. Most likely you drug my drink. This isn't over yet. I would have my revenge on you.

Ken: How dare you insult me like that. I would never do anything like that to my daughter. To think that you would even consider me doing something like that should what kind of man you are. A heartless one.

Darien: It takes one to know one. But marks my words, I would have my revenge on you and Serena would be mine.

..........................................................................................................................................................

( Two days later)

Darien: Drew, I don't know what to do. She won't answer any of my call.

Drew: I am sorry man, I wish there was some way I could help you.

Darien: Why don't you call her through your speaker phone? That way I can at least hear her voice and maybe talk to her.

Drew: Darien, you need to give her time.

Darien: I know Drew, but I can't. I miss her too much. Each day without her is killing me.

Drew: Fine I would call her... Hello Jen. Is Serena there?

Jen: I am sorry Andrew, but didn't you hear the news.

Drew: What news?

Jen: Serena is on her honeymoon. She just got marry last night.

Drew: Why wasn't I informed about this?

Jen: Her father insists that we kept it a secret.

Drew: Thank you,Jen. Do you know when will she be returning?

Jen: Yes in two weeks.

Drew: Thank you, Jen, that would be all.

Darien: She is married.

Drew: I am sorry, Dare.

Dare: This can't be true.

Drew: Sorry Dare. Well looks like there is nothing you can do now.

Dare: This is way far a way from over. I will have my revenge on then. No matter what in the end Serena will me mine whether she wants to or not
