A/N: Thank you all so much for the nice reviews you gave. See, just review and I give you a chapter. Review. Chapter. Review. Chapter. Simple. And I'm really sorry for the delay. I bet the Juliette name is going to confuse you, so I'll try to make Serena find out who she really is fast.

Chapter 1

15 years after the death of the Devereux's, the gypsies seemed to move on, and not being as afraid as they were a few years ago, of going out. But they all seemed to talk about the mysterious disappearance of the Devereux's young daughter, Serena, who wasn't found anywhere again.

Claude was in his office in his mansion thinking about his son and Adrien's daughter. 'The girl would make a beautiful wife for Diamond.' He never did find out her name so he named her Juliette.

"Juliette! Juliette! Juliette!" Diamond called for her, until he found her in the rose garden.

"Yes sir. What is your will?" Juliette turned and asked. Juliette had grown to be a stunning looking woman. Very full figured and with a face of an angel, and the heart of one as well. Her blonde hair reached down to her torso and was naturally crimped. Her eyes were the prettiest shade of blue (think Elijah Wood) with flecks of green. She was petite, 4'11". She was wearing a pretty two-piece dress. It was a baggy white blouse and a pretty green flowing skirt. He could see the outline of her breasts and the top two buttons were unbuttoned. Diamond couldn't help lusting after her.

"Um… well father… I mean master calls and would like to see you in his chambers now." He turned away and felt flushed. 'The bloody girl always gets to me.'

"Nini? I have to go, will you tend to the horses?" Juliette asked. Nini nodded and walked off, towards the stables.

When Juliette reached the doors of her master's chambers, she hesitated before knocking. She wiped her hands on her skirt. 'Oh come on Juliette, don't worry, it's nothing.' She said to herself.

Knock knock knock

"You may enter." Came a booming voice from within.

She entered and looked at Claude. The room was easily as big as three semi big rooms. Claude nodded for her to come closer. She walked about 50 feet and stopped 10 feet before him.

Claude looked at her and definitely came to a decision there if he hadn't before. "I need to have a few words with you," Juliette nodded for him to continue. "I have come to a decision. You are to wed Diamond in two months from the morrow.

Juliette was shocked but had a cool, calm and collected face. "I would be honored, but sire… wouldn't you rather have a countess or a duchess wed your son and not a mere maid?"

"I have thought long about that, but my son would rather have beauty rather than title." Claude said.

"Will that be all, sir?" Juliette looked at Claude and waited to be dismissed.

"Yes, Juliette, that is all," Juliette turned to leave but then Claude's voice sounded again. "Wait, I need you to go to the baker and pick up the bread and pastries for brunch in the morrow."

"Of course, milord." Juliette walked out soundly and walked to the kitchen and took the money the cook had. As always she gave Juliette twice as much as needed so she could buy something for herself. She left the manor and saw Diamond in the corner of her eye.

"Has my father told of the news." Diamond asked, leering at Juliette's chest.

"If you mean, have I heard of our engagement, then yes." Juliette looked down and ten felt Diamond's finger pull her chin up.

"I would rather you sound a bit more enthusiastic about this. After all, there is no one of a better match for you." Diamond said and pulled her close and put his lips on hers.

He kissed her roughly and passionately. 'I don't feel anything but disgust. Nothing. Why can't I have a bit of feeling for him.' Juliette thought to herself. Then she pushed him off.

"How dare you, wench!" He raised his hand up, but then put it down. "This is a warning, don't ever say no to me." Diamond walked away.

Juliette went hurriedly towards the baker's. Along the way she saw a few gypsies, dancing for money. She stopped and watched. She always had a soft spot for gypsies, and no matter what Claude or Diamond said she always thought that gypsies loved being gypsies and being free. She watched 4 girls dancing and 1 man playing a guitar. One girl had blue hair and another had blonde hair. The last two had black and brown hair. She gave her half of the money to the woman who had her tambourine turned over.

"Bless you, may you have a wonderful life," She said and then looked closer at her. She grabbed her arm and gasped. "Are you… Serena Devereux?"

"No. I'm sorry I've never heard anyone with that name before. Is she lost?" Juliette asked sympathy shining in her eyes.

"Yes, actually, she is lost. Been lost for 15 years. You just look exactly like her mother." The woman said.

Juliette smiled and left.

"Nicole, are you alright? Who was that girl?" A man came close and asked.

"Oh no one Christian. Just a girl who looked almost exactly like Odette," Nicole told her husband. "Aimee, Raye, Meena, Lita? I think we can stop for today."

"Hey what about me?" Asked a blonde man.

"You can look for Darien, Andrew." Nicole replied and her and the girls walked off. Christian patted Andrew on the back and followed his wife and daughter and her gypsy friends.

Juliette reached the baker's and smiled warmly at the woman at the front. She smiled back and finished with her other customer.

"Good den Juliette. Here to pick up Claude's request." Asked the seller.

"Good den to you too, Molli, and yes I am." Juliette said.

"I put in something special for you too, so eat it before you get home." Molli said with a smile and accepted the money form Juliette's hand. Molli gave her 4 boxes to carry home and with much straining, Juliette managed to get outside without spilling anything. That didn't last long though.

Juliette walked a few steps before tripping in the many holes on the ground and dropping everything she had. Luckily a dark-haired man caught her before she fell in the mud.

"Are you alright, miss?" He asked her.

"Oh yes. I'm fine, but the pastries. I'm going to be in so much trouble when I get home." Juliette replied.

"Darien, there you are," Andrew came up and slapped the man on the back, making him fall with Juliette in his arms. "Ooops," He said. "Hey aren't you the girl who gave us that money?"

"Oh, yes. You're the guitar player aren't you?" She asked and looked at him as Darien helped her up.

"Yeah, I am. You were the one Nicole, the woman with the tambourine, thought was the Devereux's long lost daughter." Andrew said, making Darien look at Juliette shockingly.

"I suppose, but my name is Juliette, not Serena. I don't know my parents, they died when I was but a baby and my master raised me. Oh, too much information. I'm sorry I tend to babble." Juliette said.

"It's quite fine." Darien said, fascinated by the girl he helped.

"I must go, or else I'll be in even more trouble than I am now." Juliette picked up her boxes, but ended up dropping them again.

"Here let me help you. Where do you live?" Darien picked up 3 boxes and looked at her with curiosity.

"The Rose Manor." Juliette replied.

"By the way, my name is Darien." He looked at her as they walked together.

"Are you a gypsy?" Juliette asked.

"Yes." Darien said quietly.

"Good." Juliette replied smiling at him. Darien perked up right away and smiled back at her.
