After the very awkward ride with his mother and his not-so-dead god mother, Darius felt a little dizzy from all the new and surprising information. He just thought it was an effect of his still recovering body from brutally being tortured. He was still very happy to see Aurora alive and she did give him a lucid explanation but he was trying real hard to process everything.
All three of them arrived at Annaliese’s mansion and had the salient conversation about Darius’s abduction. Darius, who is not sensitive when it came to emotions like anger, fear and hatred, told everything to Aurora and Annaliese. But there was one question that Darius hesitated to answer.
“So who is your savior?” asked Annaliese as she sipped her tea. Darius could have easily said Julez Everard out of all people was his savior but he held back. The person who sent him back to France was Alex and they both have no clue who was the person that got him out of the castle.
Darius did not know why but he thought it would be a lot less complicated if he did not mention Julez to his mother. For one, Aurora and Annaliese have been against the Everards since before he was born and Darius knew they would not believe let alone accept the fact that an Everard saved him. What if they knew that he and Julez actually made a truce?
Annaliese and Aurora were not ready to know that there might be a possibility that the feud between the Cuzas and the Everards might come to an end. But Darius did not let his hopes up too much. He made a truce with a Julez only. Jesse Everard is a whole different story.
Even though Darius despise Jesse, he still would make peace with him if he had the chance. He wanted so badly for the 150 year old battle between his family and the Everards to end. He hoped that by the time he takes over the society, everything will be in peace.
“Ara. Her name is Ara. She is a somewhat associated with Alex. They have a bittersweet yet very complicated relationship,” Darius said in the end.
“I have never heard of this Ara. Have you known her before this?” asked Annaliese seriously.
“I have heard of her before but we have never been introduced before. I have never spoken to her before this,” replied Darius calmly.
“We should find a way to thank her,” said Aurora with a small smile.
“There is no need for that. She saved my life and I saved hers. We are even. We should thank Alex. Without him, Ara would never have gone to save me. She did it under Alex’s request,” he said with assurance.
“All right. Whatever you say,” said Annaliese.
“Darius, we both have request for you. No more running around and getting yourself into trouble, not until you are well enough,” said Aurora.
Even thought Darius was already starting to feel better, he needed some rest from all the running.
“Whatever you wish. I just do not want you 2 to worry about me,” he said convincingly. Both Annaliese and Aurora accepted Darius’s word and he was excused. Darius started the engine of his magnificent Jaguar XKR and drove off to meet the one person he missed so much.

Sienna was standing in her study room, overlooking the Parisian hill from the massive window. Inside she never felt happier because Darius was all right. But at the same time she was very worried. When will all these lies and secrets end in the society? Will it ever be safe for her? She could not bear to see Darius risk his life again to save her. Sienna tried to push all the negative thoughts out of her head and stay focus on the good things.
As she stood perfectly still, the sun making her ivory skin glow, a pair of hands slithered around her tiny waist. Instantly Sienna felt calm and every horrific image in her head faded away. Sienna felt Darius’s warm breath on her neck as he kissed it.
She immediately turned around to face him with a blissful smile on her face. For the first time in a very long time, Darius’s smiled back. A smile that accentuated his chiseled face, highlighted his adorable dimples and made his enticing eyes glow with a mixture of mirth and lust.
Darius held her closer. His ribs were not fully recovered but he did not care. He had too much affection and adoration towards Sienna and he did not want to let her go. He leaned in and his lips finally touched hers. They were one again. Everything else faded away and all that’s left is Darius, Sienna and their undeniable love for each other.
Sienna kissed back urgently, enjoying every single second of Darius’s lips on hers. She swung her arms around his shoulders and teasingly ran her fingers threw his mahogany hair. Sienna’s feet left the ground and she felt like she never wanted to come back down to earth as Darius lifted her up.
At last, Sienna pulled away, both of them completely breathless. Sienna smiled at Darius as she gave him a hug, careful not to squeeze him too tight.
“I truly miss your adorable smile,” said Darius as he touched her lips which made Sienna shiver a little.
“I miss your tantalizing eyes,” she said back with a smile. Darius then took out the crystal chopstick that held Sienna’s hair up. Her wavy brown hair cascaded down her bare back which made Darius’s eyes glow with lust. He eagerly stroked her luscious hair as he brought it down the front of her shoulders.
“You still have an unexplainable fetish for my hair,” she said with a mixture of a childish yet sultry pout.
“Honestly, that was the first thing I noticed about you. You were walking to the café; your hair was swung to the side. It shined in the sun as it framed your dazzling face,” he said as he tucked Sienna’s hair behind her ear. Sienna smiled again at the fact that Darius seemed to remember all the little details of his life. Sienna traced her hands down Darius’s chest and stopped at the side of his abdomen.
“Does it hurt?” she asked with concern in her eyes.
“Not when I am distracted,” he said with a lecherous smirk.
“Do you need a distraction now?” Sienna whispered to his lips. Darius instantly pressed his lips hard on hers. Slowly he made his way down and started kissing her neck and collarbone. Sienna leaned back slightly as she took in the pleasure of Darius. She stroked his back and gently placed her hands underneath his sweater, feeling the bandage that wrapped around his torso.
Suddenly the door opened and standing by it was Aurora, stunned and shocked. Darius casually lifted his head and gave a side glance to his godmother.
“I will be in your room,” he whispered and kissed her shoulder.
“Good Evening, Aurora,” he said as he walked to the door with a mischievous smirk on his face.
