Darien clenched his hands and grabbed the gun and pointed it to Kate's chest. "What do you want?" He asked the woman angrily.
Kate stopped fighting Lita and sighed heavily.
"Kate, why are you here?" Lita asked her fiercely. "Wait a minute...you're involved with Serenity's disappearance, aren't you?"
The woman glared at Lita. "Why do you always defend her?!" She screamed. "I do have my reasons now more than ever to hate her!"
"Lita, do you know this woman?" Darien asked Lita suspiciously.
Lita nodded. "We used to be friends at the orphanage. She hated Serenity ever since and..." Lita suddenly remembered something. "You like Danny don't you? You loved fairytales like me and since Danny has a prince charming personality you fell for him. Am I right?" She asked.
Kate looked at Lita sharply and shook her head. "No I don't." She said but even she was not convinced of her own answer. "I...think you're all being unfair to him and his feelings right now."
Darien leaned towards the Kate and touched her shoulder. "What do you mean by that?" He asked gently. The truth was that he felt that Danny was miserable but he was not really sure until this girl in front of him confirmed it.
"He's really sad you know..." Kate said and she began to cry. "You'd think that he's just a jealous, obsessed brother but he's not! He's really sweet and kind but deep inside, I know there was something wrong. He was really sad." Kate kept on repeating.
Lita sighed wearily and said, "Kate! He's just using you to get Serenity! He's not kind or sweet! He's just using you."
Kate stood up and slapped Lita.
"You don't know him, Lita. He told me about you and he regretted using you, okay? He regretted everything." Kate answered tearfully.
Lita looked at her while touching her cheek. "I don't believe you." She whispered. "He...just loves to hurt other people..."
Darien suddenly interrupted. "I don't understand...How did you met Danny?" He asked Kate.
Kate breathed heavily. "Danny saved me." She answered simply.
"Save you from what?" Darien asked exasperatedly. He was really getting tired of listening and he just wanted to have his wife back.
"I...was caught stealing and the guards that time were drunk. When they caught me..." Kate breathed again and rubbed her temples then continued. "They ripped my clothes and was going to rape me when Danny suddenly appeared and he saved me."
Lita listened to Kate unable to believe that Danny actually had a heart.
"After he saved me, he said that I could stay in the castle. Everyday, I was treated nicely. I ate delicious food. I was clothed with fine clothes and I slept in a big luxurious room. This was heaven for me." Kate said emotionally.
"I understand." Darien said and stood up to leave the room.
"Wait!" Kate said. "I'm not yet done."
Darien sighed and sat down again.
"Everyday, Danny was working hard searching for Serenity. Every afternoon I watched him secretly lie down in the garden watching the sky in an odd way. One day when he was drunk, he told me that he hated his self for betraying his brother and you, Lita. He asked me why he had to fall in love with his brother's wife! Please understand him..." Kate sobbed.
Darien watched Kate sadly and he remembered the day when Serenity was introduced to Danny.
Flashback...
"Guess who's this?" Someone asked him while his eyes were covered by a pair of lithe soft hands.
"Hmm...let me see. Is she the petite blonde girl with the large aquamarine eyes?" He asked.
Serenity uncovered his eyes by her hands and pouted at him. "Why do you know? Is my hands really obvious?" She asked.
Darien smiled and pinched her cheeks. "You are so cute!" He said and ruffled her long blond hair. "I know the smell of your hands. It smells like peach."
Serenity smelled him and said. "Well...you smell like roses."
Danny arrived and saw them in the garden. "Darien! Who's that girl? I've been gone for only a week and you already found another girl." Danny laughed.
Darien laughed and slapped Danny's shoulder. "This is Serenity..."
"Family name is unknown." Serenity chirped happily. She extended her hand towards Danny.
"And my name is Danny Endymion." Danny said and he took Serenity's hand and shook it for a long time.
It seemed so long that Danny was holding her hand that Darien had to interrupt. "Ah! Danny would you like something to drink?" He asked.
Danny looked at him strangely and smiled quizically. "Sure."
"Danny, can you come with me?" He asked. "Serenity we'll be right back."
"Go right ahead." Serenity smiled.
When they reached the house Danny asked him. "Danny she has the most beautiful eyes, don't you think and...the longest hair like Rampunzel!"
Darien grinned. "Yeah, you like her?" He asked.
"I'm beginning to but I'm suspect that you like her. What about Beryl? I thought your engaged with her?" Danny asked.
He didn't reply.
Danny whistled and patted his back. "Ohoh! You're not going to get away from Beryl's wrath!" He joked.
He looked Danny strangely. "I..."
"I know. You like Serenity. Who wouldn't like her? She's so cute and friendly and down-to-earth." Danny said. "You're not planning to break your engagement are you?"
Darien sighed and said. "Of course not! You like Serenity? You go get her brother! I'm already taken." But as he said that, he felt his heart break.
End of flashback...
"It's all my fault. If I had told Danny that I was interested with Serenity, he wouldn't have followed her all the time and developed strong feelings for her." Darien said to the two girls.
Kate stopped sobbing and shook her head. "Don't blame yourself." She said.
Darien sat beside Kate and told her sincerely. "Listen kate, I love Serenity with all my heart, my soul, more than my life. If you know where she is please help me."
Kate looked at him and she sighed. "All right. She's at Danny's townhouse in Paris."
"Thank you!" Darien said happily and he hugged her tightly.
Before Darien left, Kate said, "I'm sorry for pointing the gun at you, your highness. Danny is not in any way involved in my appearance here. I just did this because I thought I would be helping him but if I'll help him then I'd be doing the wrong thing."
"I'm sorry for pointing the gun at you too and don't worry. You're doing the right thing now." Darien said and left the room hurriedly.
Lita looked at Kate. "I never meant to always take Serenity's side, Kate. You were always making the wrong decision then and that is why I never favored any of your ideas." She said.
Kate smiled softly and admitted. "I know..."
Meanwhile...
Serenity glared at his hand, the hand who is currently wiping her bangs off her eyes. She looked at him and stared at this sorrowful face. She fidgeted in her seat liking the idea that she would suddenly become super woman and the rope in her hand would dissolve then she would beat Danny to a pulp!
If there is any word more capable of violence than that then that would be the best word which she would use. Honest!
"Stop glaring at me, Serenity and stop the silent treatment." Danny suddenly said while sighing heavily.
If this is even possible, Serenity's eyes became so narrow that it was almost scary to look at her face.
Danny sighed again and grabbed the nearest chair. He then sat beside Serenity and gazed at her beautiful angry face. He waited for her to say anything. ANYTHING! But she said nothing...
He sighed frustratingly and he forced his self to grab her shoulders.
Serenity's eyes widen with shock and finally she said something, "What in Gemini's sake are you doing?"
Danny sighed again. How many times had he sighed since they arrived here in his Paris townhouse? He sighed almost every minute that he couldn't count how many times he had sighed but then most people wouldn't count how many times they had sighed, right?
"Look, I don't know why you're so mad at me. You're usually so calm and kind but..."
"Sometimes you are so confusing, Danny. I thought you were very happy that Darien and I was finally reunited after so long. I thought you're in love with Lita. What have I done to make you so angry at me to tie me up in this uncomfortable chair?" She asked exasperatedly.
Danny was quiet...
"Okay, great! Now it's your turn to give me the silent treatment, right? Well, I don't care if you won't talk to me for the rest of your life." Serenity said harshly but of course she felt bad but then it was the only way to make this confusing brother-in-law of hers talk.
Danny looked startled for a while and he slowly faced Serenity revealing his really angry face.
"You don't have to tell me that!" He screamed furiously. "I know that you don't care about me because all you care for is Darien! You don't need to remind me..." He said sadly and his voice quavered.
"I...I'm sorry, it's just that you won't answer me." Serenity apologized sincerely. She didn't know that Danny would blow up like that.
Danny looked at her with an ironic yet painful grin on his face. "Do you really want to know the simple truth, Serenity?" He asked slowly.
Serenity blinked a couple of times. She didn't know that this side of Danny could actually exist but then this didn't matter right now. What mattered to her right now was to know the answer and so she nodded her head.
He clenched his fist tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"I love you."
"What?" Serenity asked unsure of what she was hearing. Maybe she heard the wrong word. Maybe she was hallucinating since she was starving. The man couldn't offer her a piece of bread...sheesh!
"I said that 'I love you'." Danny repeated calmly.
"WHAT?!" Serenity asked loudly. She heard the answer but she was just not able to believe that this is true.
"I will say this to you a million times if you like, 'I LOVE YOU'." He shouted making sure that Serenity would hear it this time.
Serenity swallowed and gulped. She opened her mouth to fill her lungs with oxygen. No, it was not that there was no air. She needed her mind to be oxygenated to handle this strange ordeal...
