Chapter One
(Flashback)
The rain pounded intensely against the glass windows. She stood anxiously waiting at the window praying to see his car pull into the circle driveway. He promised that he would come back tonight to the estate for she remembered that he told her that he needed to do something outside the house today. She also knew that it had to be urgent for Darien to leave the house since he hardly did so unless he absolutely had to. For he always told Serena, "Being in your own terrain makes one know they are the ones in control." While being in Darien's company she had learned a lot in these past months. It made her aware of whom he truly was. It also became apparent that even though, he could take of himself. However, in the end, she came to care for him and even though she did not know how that it happened. It just did. What's more, for some reason that feeling scared her and she could not rationalize it. Again, she just stood there for a moment more as she continued to gaze outside at the heavy rain pouring down. Wondering what else was happening outside aside from Mother Nature throwing a tantrum and all. Suddenly without warning, a crack of lightening struck and the thunder boomed so loudly. She slightly in apprehension and caught herself realizing it was still the storm raging outside. She also forgot how much she hated thunderstorms. Sure, she was a grown woman, however even she was allowed some childish fears. As she peered again outside the window, at that precise instant, she saw a car pull into the circle driveway. At this sight, her heart leapt knowing that Darien had finally returned. Instead of running to greet him downstairs, she decided to stay and wait for him in her room. For he would come looking for anyways, as he always did no matter what. Therefore, she sat there calmly in the chair by the window just waiting patiently and like always, she did not have to wait very long. For in a matter of minutes the door opened to reveal him standing there. He looked extremely tired and for she figured, it must have been a long drive from wherever he came from, for he had been gone the entire day practically. His coal-black hair looked tousled and slightly glistened in the light. It was probably a bit wet from when he got out of the car. His clothes were also a bit crumpled and a bit damp, as well. Still in the end, he looked the same as ever. After a moment of just staring at one another, Darien went over to where Serena sat and kneeled in front of her. He then placed a cold hand on her warm cheek and pulled her face to him. He then kissed her lightly on the lips and pulled backed murmured how much he had missed her.
(End of flashback)
Suddenly another bolt of lightening struck with a loud crack outside and Serena jolted awake from lying down in her bed. In seeing her window blowing open, she got up from her bed and walked towards so she could close it. After doing so, she looked outside the window and noticed that it was raining again. It was nights like these that she had those damn flashbacks. When the lightening struck again, she flinched at it. It seemed ironic that after so long, she was still afraid of lightening and that she never managed to get over it. It got to the point that Diamond sometimes teased her about it and when he did that it would remind her that Darien at times did the same thing. However, with Darien it had always been different though. When he found out a person's weakness, he would use it against them and in someway Darien had managed to find many in Serena's case. Because with Darien Walsh, it was a matter of having control over people and he had always been one to be in control. Even though, Serena would never admit that he had control over her and that as far as she was concerned Darien could never control her. For he once tried and it had failed. Even now, she still thought about him. Reluctantly, at times of course for she wished that she could just forget him. In everyway possible, she just wished she could forget. For every time she remembered something it only brought back unwanted memories, anything and everything made it difficult for her to continue, because every little thing brought back some sort of memory. Moreover, she also hated feeling it. Since every emotion that she felt drudged up some sort of link back to him and it didn't matter what it was it always came back to him. Therefore, in the end it drove her insane, for she always wished she could move on. However, something wasn't letting her because with him she had experienced everything. Their relationship had been a passionate one and it drove them fully into something that neither of them expected. Although, it had been desire and then eventually it had become love. Yet with that love, there had also been pain, and with that, there came misery. He also had brought her to life and he had made her live. However, in the end though all he did was destroy her and what was left of her was nothing but an empty shell. She also had to give Diamond credit for trying to comfort her. Although, in some ways she blamed him for some part of what she was feeling. Of course, she would never openly say that to him. For she assumed since her disappearance and return that he blamed himself for what had happened anyways. After all, in her opinion, Diamond was a good person and he showed her often how much he cared for her. That was why she married him to begin with. Unfortunately, his rivalry with Darien in the business industry had always been a problem. However, Serena had known that when she was going to marry Diamond. Yet she always thought that Diamond would be considerate enough to leave her out of his business life. Darien on the other hand just wanted to have everything his own way. Besides, taking down Diamond had been Darien's lifetime goal. Even though, Serena always knew that the biggest success he actually ever achieved…was her. For Darien believed that if there was something that would ultimately bring Diamond down, aside from losing his business, of course would be the loss of the woman he loved. In someway Darien did care for her, also. However, he just got lost in his grudge against Diamond and that made him forget that there was more than just business at stake. In the end though, Darien never meant to hurt Serena. Nevertheless, he did though and that was what happened. Even after two years and nothing really changed, aside from Serena wanting to forget Darien and everything that had occurred, as well. For he was like a drug that even though, she had been with him for just a short while she had become addicted to him and that was what scared her. Even after everything, she had gone through. However, at this moment Serena realized that if she kept thinking about him it would only make her feel worse. Therefore, she decided to block it out completely from her mind and to try to go back to sleep. Maybe for once she would be able to sleep in peace. Even if she knew that again in the morning, she would just end up remembering what she was trying to forget. However, until that moment came she just wanted to sleep.
