Last Chapter:
Serena nodded as he helped her up. They then headed back on the path to go back to the mansion. On the way back though someone was standing on the path. Waiting for Serena.
Chapter 11:
They stopped walking when Darien saw Beryl standing there. She looked pissed. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he stepped in front of Serena.
"I came to see you. Though I want to know what she's doing here." Beryl asked.
Darien looked at Serena and back at Beryl. He sighed. "That's what I need to talk to you about. Though can we do it after dinner?" He asked them.
Beryl mumbled yes as the three of them walked back to the mansion. When the three of them were back at the mansion they went inside to find everyone else. They did find everyone already in the dinning room, eating. Darien's father was with them. "Nice of you to join us." Mr. Ross said when the three of them came into the room.
"Sorry Father." Darien apologized.
"Well, I already met the other two. I guess it's time to met the third." Mr. Ross said as he stood up. "I'm Derrick Ross, Darien and Raye's father."
"My name's Serena Sanders. Nice to meet you." Serena said as she held out her hand. She had no idea that Darien's father was on the other side of the room.
"Well, come here." Derrick said, not knowing Serena was blind.
Darien looked from his father and to Serena and back. "Uh, Father, Serena's blind. She has no idea where you are."
Derrick sighed. "Oh, well. Sit down you three."
Darien led Serena over to the table and sat her down next to him. Beryl sat across from Serena and glared at her. Beryl didn't like the idea of Serena sitting next to Darien. Actually, Beryl didn't like Serena period.
Everyone ate in silence for a while. No one daring to talk first. When the silence became too unbearable Derrick cleared his throat. "So, Darien, tell us about the artist you met."
"Oh, I don't have to. Serena is sitting right next to me."
Derrick gave Darien a funny look before realizing that Serena was the artist that he had gone to meet. "So, what brings you guys here?" Derrick asked the three siblings.
Jadeite swallowed his piece of chicken before answering. "Well, Darien wanted us to come here. Ask him." Jadeite told Derrick as he bit into another piece of chicken.
Derrick looked from Jadeite over to Darien. "Well?"
Darien took a sip of his water before looking at his father. "Well, I just wanted to get to know Serena better."
"Why? You have fiancé?" Derrick asked as he looked at Beryl.
Beryl smiled warmly at her future father-in-law before going back to glaring at Serena. Serena felt Beryl's gaze upon her but just continued to eat her food. Darien looked at the two before looking at his father. "Can we not get into this now? I'll talk about it with you and Beryl after dinner."
Derrick sighed before returning to eating. "Alright." For the rest of the dinner everyone ate in silence.
After everyone was done Raye and Mina helped Serena back upstairs to the room that Serena and Mina shared. Jadeite went out for a walk. Soon Darien, Derrick and Beryl were all sitting at the table. "So, why'd you bring that blind brat here to New York?"
"I brought SERENA here to get to know her better." Darien told Beryl. "And she's not a brat. Unlike you."
"What did you call me?" Beryl ask not sure if she heard right.
"A brat. I called you a spoiled brat."
Before Beryl could say another word Derrick interrupted the fight. "Will you two knock it off?" Derrick asked. Neither of them said a thing. "Good, now I want to know what's going on between you two. Last time I saw you together you were a happy couple. Now what's going on?"
Beryl glared at Darien. "Ask him." She said.
Derrick looked at Darien with a raised eyebrow. Darien ran his fingers through his hair before looking at them. "Look, I when I asked you to marry me that was before I met Serena. Now that I know her my feelings for you have changed. I no longer feel the feelings I felt for you before I met Serena. I now have feelings for Serena and those feelings are stronger than the ones I had for you." Darien explained to Beryl, hoping that she would take the hint.
Beryl looked at him before standing up. "I see." She said calmly before leaving the dining room.
Beryl walked into the entryway and screamed. She noticed a vase with flowers in it and knocked it over. She looked up the stairs and deiced to pay a visit to Serena.
