Normal POV
'Is this really happening?'
She laid in pitch black in her own bed, safely at home. She looked up to see it was already one o' clock in the morning but she didn't care. All she could think about was what had happened to her today which made warm inside, she couldn't stop smiling and it was because of him…
Flashback
"Will you marry me?" he asked with pleading eyes.
Tears ran down her cheeks in disbelief. "…Of course…Of course I'll marry you!" she cried in excitement.
He smiled as he rose to his feet and latched on to her in pure happiness. He had finally found love again.
"But Seto how will I be able to wear the ring without anyone finding out? I mean this is a pretty big rock just to call it promise ring" she said as pulled away, looking in the small box at the beautiful piece of jewelry.
"I know…take out" said Seto. She did and noticed the ring was attached to a sparkling white gold necklace. He took it out her hand and put in around her swan like neck and placed his hands on her thin shoulders. "It looks even more beautiful around your neck then on your hand"
"Seto…I love you so much" she said, throwing her arms around his neck.
"I love you too, Serenity"
End of Flashback
She took the ring in her gentle hands as it glimmered in the moonlight. It was really happening. She was going to get married to someone that really cared for her but how will she tell everyone especially Joey? She knew Mai wouldn't tell on her but the thought of him finding out still bothered. Serenity wouldn't let that stop her; this was her chance at happiness. She love Seto and she knew he loved her. All she wanted was for her past to not come back to haunt her.
"You better have a good reason for calling me so early in the morning!" said Duke angrily over the phone.
"I thought you would've been happy to get my phone…especially meaning that it's time"
"…Time for what?" he asked nervously.
"Have we forgotten already? It's time for you to get the girl and to rip our two lover apart, Romeo and Juliet's love story is going to come to an end"
"What do you want to do?"
"Tomorrow we'll start, you take Serenity and I'll take care of Seto Kaiba"
"Just remember our deal, I don't want Serenity hurt, I can care less about Kaiba but I want Serenity safe, please" he pleaded.
"Oh don't worry, she won't get hurt" said the voice, little did Duke know was that the dark figure was grinning evilly on the other side.
The next morning Serenity walked in her room after taking a nice hot shower. She was wearing navy blue shorts with an oversized hoodie; the same one Kaiba had given. He had decided to get it tailor for her size and let her keep it. Ever since then, she wore it non-stop and it easily became her favorite. She put her long auburn hair in a ponytail to let her face show. She noticed her phone was ringing and walked over to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Serenity…it's Duke"
"…What do you want?" she said, growing angry.
"Listen I want to apologize about our last visit, I felt really bad and I want to make it up to you by taking you out" said Duke.
"I have someone already Duke"
"I know I didn't mean like that, I just thought…look there's this restaurant in my hotel so I thought you could come…please Serenity I really do feel bad and I've feeling miserable about how I treated you"
'Seto's going to be pissed' "Fine…when do you-"
"Tonight around eight if that's alright"
"Fine bye"
"Bye"
She hung up, yelling at herself mentally to what she had just agreed to.
'What was Seto going to say?'
Later…
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH DEVLIN! IS THIS SOME KIND OF A SICK JOKE!" exclaimed her boyfriend, echoing through the whole mansion.
"Calm down, you know it's not like that Seto, he just want to do it as a way to say he's sorry for what he did the night of the ball, that's it" she said softly.
"Serenity! He's not planning that I'm telling you! All this you're telling, trust me I know a snake being that I'm called one damn near everyday, he's planning to do something, and I know it!" He walked up to her, meeting her eye to eye and holding her hand tightly with pleading eyes. "Serenity, please I couldn't take it if something happened please rethink this"
"…I-I…"
He could see she was pondering in her mind what to do. Maybe he was over-reacting but still this situation is very suspicious to him especially being it was nearly three or four months ago since the incident happened. Maybe he should trust Serenity…
"Fine, go" he said in self-defeat.
"Seto I-"she said before silencing her by placing his finger on her lips.
"I trust you, you know that it's him that scares me about you but this is something you want to do…can I…Can I least pick you up…just for peace of mind at least?" he asked.
"Yes of course" said Serenity on the bridge of tears and she kissed him on the lips. "I'll be careful I promise"
He looked at her and held her tightly in his arms. For some reason, he had a feeling that tonight…something was going to go terribly wrong.
It was night, an hour had passed since Duke and Serenity had left to go into the restaurant at his hotel. She would plastered on a fake smile that convinced him very well but in the back of her mind was what Seto was pleading to her? Everything's going fine so far but still all she wanted was to go back to Seto. She was happy that he would be here in only a half an hour.
"…Serenity…I…that's it I can't do this!" said Duke throwing his hands in the air with guilt written in his voice.
"What's wrong? What can't you do?" she asked.
"I can't say it here, come with me quickly!" he said as he took her hand rushing upstairs to his room as she glance at his face all she could see was fear. Once safely in the pitch black room, he locked the door. His hands were shaking and his face turned pale. What had gotten into him?
"Serenity, listen to me, I've done something horrible, I'm so sorry, I want you to get out of here now before he gets here, please!" he cried, grabbing her shoulders, with tears in his eyes.
"Duke slow down, who are you talking about?"
"Serenity I'm so sorry, I was angry and he convinced me to do it, I could tell by his voice that he's planning to do something terrible to you and Kaiba!"
"Who is he! Tell me, what is planning to do to me and Seto!" she cried desperately.
"His name is-"
Suddenly she heard a loud bang that made them both winced. He stopped moving completely and towering over her with blank look on his face. Blood began to pour out his mouth and he began to fall making them both collapsed to the ground. She noticed the gunshot wound in his head. Blood had spluttered everywhere including her. She opened to scream nothing came out as he crawled her way out from under the dead body. She looked up to see the figure come out from the shadows as her eyes widen in shock and disbelief.
"Long time no see Red, sorry about Devlin, it's so hard to find good helpers these days but you know all that don't ya Red"
"Oh my God…" she whispered.
"Aren't you happy to see me?"
"Malik"
Seto looked at his clock above the fireplace in his armchair. He couldn't take anymore, he was waiting for his driver to arrive that he had called a few minutes ago. He could only hope that she was alright.
The doorbell rang and he quickly went over to the door, grabbing his coat. When he opened it, there stood the last person he ever wanted to see again…
"Kisara…it can't be…"
