Chapter Four

Darien was in awe as he saw the beautiful woman in front of him. Mina apparently wanted everything to be a surprise and lied that she was going to help a friend. Helping a friend did not include bringing your long lost fiance.

"Come in...Mina and"

"Serena."

"I know, it's just that."

Mina rolled her eyes. These two knew each other much better than this. To stop the akwardness, she intruded.

"Hey Darien, look who I've brought." She smiled at him and he looked at the baby in her arms.

"We've met before. What's her name?"

"Rini." said Serena. Her full name is Serenity, but we nicknamed her Rini. And Rini is the only thing she responds to."

Mina then gave Rini to her father and smiled when she saw that Rini was perfectly fine. She continued to look at Darien as if he was a familiar figure.

"Hello." Rini smiled at this, and while shouting some unknown baby words reached for his hair. She loved to pull on hair.

Everyone smiled as they saw father and daughter bond. Serena looked at the two of them and could see the resemblance very clearly. Rini had his eyes and nose. And when she smiled, her dimple was in the pace place as Darien's. When Rini couldn't reach his hair, she began to move in his arms. Darien became alarmed and afraid that he might drop her, but Serena took her into her arms. While doing this, Serena almost twitched at their hands meeting. It wasn't as if she hadn't touched this man before, but she couldn't help herself.

"Hello Serena. I didn't know you had come." came a familiar voice.

"Hello Andrew."

"Come on in and sit down. You guys have been standing by the door this whole time."

The four adult and the cute little baby went into the living room and sat down. A moment of silence followed, but Mina wasn't shy and said right away, "Andrew and I will take Rini for a walk. You two have a lot of talking to do."

Serena was completely caught off guard with this turn of events, but before she knew it, Mina took Rini and the three were out the door.

"I thing we've been set up." She said to Darien.

"That's Mina for you."

The two smiled at each other earnestly.

"I'm sorry. I really am about my behavior before."

"Me too. I don't think it was anybody's fault."

"When was Rini born?" Serena was a little surprised at the immediate beginning of questions. For some silly reason, she was envious that he asked about her instead of herself.

"Four months ago. Exactly four months ago."

"We're we going to get married soon before the accident."

"Yes, the wedding was in a month. And I was a month pregnant at the time." Darien unknowingly starred at her stomach. Something so small didn't seem like it had carried a baby. He then looked at Serena's face. She was so beautiful, but she looked hurt.

"You didn't know about the baby yet Darien. I was going to tell you that night at dinner. But on our way, we crashed." Tear were building up in Serena's eyes. "I brought some pictures of Rini when she was just born." Serena began to take out some pictures form her purse. Darien looked at them carefully. In many of the pictures, he noticed another man holding Rini. A fear entered him suddenly.

"He...he's Seiya. My husband and Rini adopted father. He's also you're cousin." Serena said wihtout meeting his eyes. She realized that he did not know of her marriage to Seiya. Darien, however, was feeling crushed. The fear was true. She had found someone else.

"He offered to marry me to take care of Rini. It's a compromise, not a marriage. Rini was given your family's name." She felt a little guilty telling him about the reality of their marriage.

"My family, my parents. You told me something terrible about them."

"Yes Darien. A month after we thought you were dead, they also died. Another car accident. You are the recipient of their wealth and company Darien. At the present, Seiya has been appointed CEO, but all the wealth was then given to Rini. I told them about our baby and they wanted to help support me. My parents were planning on disowning me when they found out the father of my child was gone." Dariens look seemed concerned and Serena saw this."They regret their decision today and occasionally come over to see Rini. You have to go and take what belongs to you. You have to also go back and take care of your father's company...your company. Seiya's doing the best he could, but at times I have to help him. Actually, I think I'm making all the decisions. You don't remember this, but you have a masters in business. You can revive the company."

"I really want to see this company."

"Maybe it will bring back some memories. Going to your house and going to the company. It's worth a shot."

Darien smiled at her. "I think you're right." When she smiled back, he couldn't help but stare at her. She was so angelic, but there was also something very sexy about her. She had gotten dressed in a hurry and she had no make-up on. Yet, she was more beautiful than anyone else at their best. " I dreamt of you."

"Huh." Serena didn't mean to sound so informal, but the statement took her by surprise. It was so random.

"Before I even remembered you, you came to me in my dreams. In my dream, you and I are in Central Park taking a walk. You begin to run ahead and I try to catch you. I call "Serena" out loud many times, but you don't slow down. Instead you laugh and run faster. When I do catch you, we fall in the grass and I ask you to tell me a secret. But you only say it's a surprise. And all this time, I can't see your face clearly. I see your hair and eyes, but I can't make out your face. I didn't remember anyone else, but I did remember your name and some of your facial features. I use to tell Andrew that I had to find this Serena. Unfortunately when I do find her, she's married to someone else."

Tears began to flow from Serena's eyes. "I'm so sorry Darien." She got up from where she sat and stood closer to him. She put her hand on his shoulder and said " I would've never married anyone if I knew you were still alive. I was so lonely and depressed after you left. Seiya was like a guardian angel for me and Rini."

Darien turned to face her and did something that surprised the both of them. He embraced her. Serena silently cried in his arms and he held her tenderly. He slowly took her to the sofa, not letting go of her.

"I feel like this is so right. Right now I don't even remember our memories. I don't think I'll want to be apart from you after I remember."

"No Darien, we can't do this. It's wrong." She tried to releash herself from his embrace, but he wouldn't allow her to."Darien, you have to let me go." He silenced her words with a kiss. A soft, gentle kiss, completely opposite of what they had shared in the changing room of the hotel. Serena responded to the kiss unknowingly and this encouraged Darien to go on. He tilted her face sideways and with her permission, slipped his tongue inside her mouth. Their tongue met and fought for dominance. Darien was sure he would win. He had never lost, or if he did, he didn't remember it. However, Serena was not like the other woman. She easily defeated him. When their lips parted, Darien's tongue met with Serena's neck. She moaned and Darien sucked hard. Their souls seemed to have met, however the door bell then began to ring. It took Serena a while to hear it, but when she did she quickly pushed Darien off her.

"Darien, someones at the door." Darien grinned when he saw her messed up hair. He probably looked the same way. They fixed themselves up to the best of ther ability and went to the door.

"I think Mina and Andrew are back." Serena proceed to open the door, but she did not see who she expected. Instead she saw a beautiful red headed women. There was so much make up on herface for Serena's liking, but she had to admit the woman was gorgeous. He top was a very big V- neck that didn't leave much to the imagination. Her skirt was less a skirt and more an underwear. The woman didn't look to happy to see Serena. She simply ignored the blonde and turned to Darien.

"Oh my goodness Darien what the hell happened. When I heard you were in the hospital, I panicked I just panicked."

"What are you doing here Anne." Serena looked as the two talked. Suddenly anger rose inside of her. This man was known to be a womanizer in all of New York. How could she have forgotten. This was one of his many mistresses. That kiss they just shared was something he gave to all beautiful women. Suddenly Serena felt disgusted. She looked at Darien, who was pleading with his eyes, telling her not to leave.

"What the hell are you doing here Anne. Get out."

"That's no way to talk to a guest Darien." Serena replied. "I'll leave you two alone." Serena headed toward the living room.

"Who the fuck is that. One of your other mistresses. How dare you cheat on me." Tears were evident in Anne's eyes." Think about our baby Darien."

Darien took her hand and lead her to the outside of his apartment. "Leave now. You're not welcome here. I have decent company. A whore like you isn't needed."

"Who do you think you're calling a whore Darien. You were the one to pick me up from the bar."

"I was pathetically drunk. You should've left before morning, but your interest was money, not sex."

"I hate you. You and the damn slut in there with you could burn in hell. But you should know one thing, this is your baby and I'm gonna make sure you provide us with money."

With those words, she left. She had come to Darien thinking she could get a nice night, but the bar would have to do for today. She would pick up some random guy and relieve her sexual tension. "Watch Darien Shields. Just watch."

Darien avoided going inside for a few moments, but then he gathered up his courage and proceeded inside. He looked around for Serena, but could find no sign of her. Then he realized his balcony's door was open. He looked outside and saw Serena standing there, starring at the view.

When she saw Darien, she gave him a cold look. She obviously didn't want to talk to him, but Darien decided to play it cool, hoping she hadn't heard all of Anne's conversation and they could act like it never happened.

"So Serena, I wanted to ask you a favor?" She didn't answer, but Darien continued on."Can you take me to those places where I hold many memories. The doctors said that would be very helpful."

Darien faced Serena, waiting for an answer, but she hadn't even heard the question. She seemed to be thinking something else. She wouldn't look at him and from this angle, Darien could see the love bite he felt on her neck. A little while ago, they seemed so good, but now everything was chaotic. When Serena looked at him, she gave him a cold look and said:

"I guess Rini will not be your only child. If you even want to consider her your child. I'm leaving as soon as Mina and Andrew come with my daughter." Darien face turned pale white as the truth sunk in. Serena had heard their entire conversation. But then, he relized something very wrong in her statement. He suddeny became very angry, and grabbed her hand, and pulled it so that Serena bumped against his hard chest.

"I don't care what you say, Rini is my daughter just as much as she's your's. Don't ever forget that because I won't. Even if there is nothing between us, I will also be a part of her life. She's the only one that I can call my own. And whether my fucken memory comes back or not, this fact won't change."

"I'm leaving. You can atleast be decent."

"Wait, wait please I'm sorry Serena, don't go. Just wait for Mina and Andrew to come back and then I'll drive you home."

"I can get a cab."

"I apoligized, didn't I. Please just sit in the living room and I'll get you some coffee." Serena was reluctant to go, but she had to wait for Rini. And the fact that Darien would be in the kitchen, instead of near her, sounded good.

When she didn't answer, Darien smiled and went into the kitchen.

Mina and Andrew arrived shortly after the feud and noticed the difference between their friends. They were ignoring each other and didn't speak to each other.

"Mina, Andrew,...Darien, I had a lovely time, but I have to get home." The next part she said seemed to have been directed to Darien, "Seiya is waiting. And Rini needs to sleep. The poor baby, she misses her stroller and the two of you had to carry her."

"It's no problem Serena. I LOVE children. Andrew and I decided to have two. One in the next two years and the other four years later. Right honey."

"I don't mind having one in say nine months." He laughed, kissing Mina on the forehead. Everyone laughed and Darien especially looked at Serena. When she laughed, she could brighten up the whole room. She could be sexy, sweet, and even cute when she wanted to be. No wonder he fell in love with her.

The sleepy baby was returned to its mom and seemed extremely contented. She sneezed adorably and then rested her head on Serena's shoulder.

"Bless you." Serena and Darien said simultaneously. For a brief second, their eyes met, but then went back to Rini.

"Mina can you drive me home."

"Sure Sere."

Without any further words, Serena left the apartment and Mina followed.

"What the hell did you do Serena! God, I'm so mad at you, you have no idea. Everything was going so perfect."

"No Mina nothing was perfect! Nothing can ever be perfect for us! Don't you see, our lives have completely changed. I'm married to a great man, who is helping to provide for my baby. And that other man, the one I once loved has hundreds of whores around him at all times. He IMPREGNATED one of those disgusting, hideous, sluts. The Darien I once knew never ever would've done that. God I hate him so much. Don't you see Mina, the string that once held us together has been cut. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't be together." Serena's eyes were pouring with tears, but she continued to stutter out her words. "We will never get together and mayby this accident was good, it showed me what a horrible man Darien really was."

"Hush Serena don't cry." Mina stopped her car and hugged her friend. Her eyes were also filled with tears. She had hoped that the two could get back together. Personally, she didn't like Seiya, but he sounded much better than Darien at this point. "Everything will be better. I won't ever make you see him."

"I'm going to have to see him Mina. He made it pretty clear he wants to be in Rini's life, and even I can't stop that."

When the girls reached Serena's apartment, Mina helped her carry Rini to her floor.

"Take care Serena, and don't bother worrying about Darien."

"Thanks Mina. Good Bye."

"Bye."

Mina left and Serena entered her apartment. What she saw, made her eyes wide.
