Chapter 2

Serena pumped herself higher on the swing, pushing off the ground with her feet. Her silky hair flowed behind her, the long summer dress hugging her curves as she swung back and forth. Her eyes were shut, giving off a serene calmness.

Slowly opening her eyes, she allowed the swing to slow down until it became still. She sat still on the bench, enjoying the silence. She rested her silver head against the chain of the swing, sighing. It had been three days since she left Darien. Darien...that name still leaves the bitter taste of grief in her mouth. She was at an abandoned estate that had come with her inheritance. Her inheritance came from the Castell Family, a very noble and prominent family in Europe. For the past century, her ancestors had looked towards America and had slowly expanded towards America. The Castell family line could be dated back all the way to the first king of England. It was rumoured that the Castell was royalty. Today, in modern times, the Castell family owned large corporations and had maintained their wealth.

Serena's inheritance came from her beloved grandmother, who had died four years ago. Serena, the youngest and the only girl of three other siblings, was much loved by her family.

Serena sighed and blew the lock of hair that had landed on her cheek. Smiling sadly, she allowed her mind to drift among her memories. Serena had just finished touring the world when she met Darien. She so full of life, so full of wanting to succeed in life. She was at the Castell mansion in Tuscany. She went there because of the sudden yearning to see the peaceful rolling hills, the simple lifestyle. She met Darien at the annual feast. Their eyes had met over the long table filled with food, their eyes had held, staring at each other, trying to read each other's soul.

That was the day Serena fell in love, fell so desperately. Then the slowly months of romantic courting begun. The hundreds of roses, the romantic dinners, the first shattering kiss. Then the wedding, the honeymoon. Everything had gone pass in a few months, Serena still reeling in shock. Serena had declared her love for him over and over, but never heard him say it back, never heard him express his feeling towards her. After their tender love making, the soft look would come into eyes, before disappearing instantly.

She sighed and straightened her back. Standing up and stretching, she raised her eyes at the setting sky, streaked with red and orange. She closed her eyes, relaxing herself. Suddenly she felt hands close over her eyes, stiffening slightly, she stood still. The person behind her moved closer until the person's lips was near her ear. The person whispered, "Guess who?"

Gasping slightly, Serena turned, recognising the voice. She turned to a handsome silver haired man, dressed in a loose white linen short and jeans. "Diamond!" she yelled jovially and flung her arms around his neck. Diamond laughed and picked her up, twirling her around in circles. They soon halted, Serena's face flushed and Diamond's blue eye's twinkling. Diamond cupped her face with his hands, and stared into her eyes.

"How have you been? Are you fine?" Diamond asked. Serena nodded, then shook her head, then nodded and finally shook her head. Serena lowered her head until her forehead was nearly in contact with his chest. She felt a tear stroll her cheek, and another following it. Diamond held up her head and asked, "Did he do this to you?" His eyes glinting with anger. Serena's answer was still press closer into his arms and bury her face into his shoulder. She let out a sob and began to cry. Diamond put his arms around her and held her close as she let out anguished sobs.

Darien stared at the embracing couple in the garden. His fist closed around the bunch of pink roses he held. He stood on the porch, a little distance away from Serena and Diamond. He had watched Serena for a long time, her sitting on her swing, being hugged by Diamond. He had felt a strong surge of jealousy, the need to hold Serena to him again. But he watched, hearing Serena and Diamond laugh. He watched as they stared at each other, so much like what Serena and he had on their first meeting. He had seen the worry in Diamond's eye. He saw red when he watched Serena cuddle closer and Diamond caressing her back and whispering into her ear.

He had received word that Serena was staying at this estate. And had coming rushing here with and armful of roses, ready to beg and profess his love. But he had seen the sadness and pain in her eyes, which had kept him away. He glared enviously at the silver headed man. He had nearly lost Serena to him, when they were having a spat during their relationship. If Serena had not chosen him, she would be out of his clutches.

Realising that today was not a good day to disturb Serena; he threw the roses down at a nearby table. And walked out. On the way towards his car, he thought, I have to move fast or Serena will be lost to me forever. He realised his chances were diminishing if he didn't act soon.

The end of chapter two!
