Love, Lies & Legacy 2- chapter 13

Chapter 13

“How do you know that?” asked Sienna with surprise.

“I know it’s been 2 weeks since my abduction and I have not told you this but Julez was my real savior,” he said finally. Sienna was stunned for a while but thought very hard for a while.

“Julianne Arabelle Everard. Ara is Julez. Why didn’t you tell me about this before?” asked Sienna, disappointed and annoyed of Darius’s secrecy.

“I do not know. I apologize. I did not know what your reaction would be. You two were very close before I came along,” said Darius sincerely. There was a silence between them for a while.

“You will have a chance to meet her tomorrow; she will definitely be at Alex’s party. You can talk to her then,” he said softly, trying to calm Sienna down.

“How do you know she’ll be there?” asked Sienna with her hands crossed.

“Let me tell you something Sienna…,” said Darius in a seductive tome as he leaned in, doing exactly what Sienna did moments ago. Giggles and a smile glowed on Sienna as she leaned in too, excited by seeing her boyfriend imitating her previous actions.

“Julez and Alex are having a secret affair,” he said finally.

“No way! Oh my god,” said Sienna in shock as she placed her hands over her mouth. She then burst into giggles as did Darius.

“This is so weird. My best friend is having an affair with your best friend. What are the odds of that?” she said while trying to contain her giggles. Darius smiled at her as his eyes lingered on the guitar Sienna was holding. Darius took her hand and brought her inside. They entered Darius’s sister, Natalya’s bedroom.

“Why are we in your sister’s room?” asked Sienna. Darius answered her question with a quick kiss on the lips and nothing more. He led her to the corner of the room. He pushed threw the corner wall and it swung inside like a revolving door.

The room inside was almost the same size as the bedroom. The amazing feature of the room was that its ceiling was made entirely of tinted glass. There were floor to ceiling shelves, filled with book, a desk sat on one corner with a Mac computer on it, a stereo system was set and a plush L shaped sofa was at the middle of the room

It looked like a normal young person’s room but without a bed and absolutely no windows. At the corner of the room stood a magnificent white grand piano Darius sat on the piano stool and gestured Sienna to sit beside him. Darius placed his fingers on the piano keys and started to play a melody. It was one of the most beautiful melodies Sienna has ever heard.

Darius hummed a harmony that mixed so well with the melody. For Sienna, it was one of those special songs. A song that when you first hear it, even it’s the first few seconds, you feel a warm feeling in your heart. It’s like your heart is beating to the rhythm of the song and slowly each word of the songs is carved into your heart. Sienna felt the warmness almost bursting form inside of her, all she wanted now was the words.

“Sing it for me,” pleaded Sienna. Darius stopped playing and looked at Sienna.

“I do not sing. I am not good at it,” he said.

“Darius please… it doesn’t matter if you’re not good. I am not going to judge you; I just want to know the lyrics,” she said. Darius gazed into her eyes and did not have the heart to say no. He started to play the song again and with a deep breath, he started to sing.

“You looked at me and saw what I never could see,
You made me be more than I thought I could ever be,
And when I needed a friend you were always there,
To lift me up to make me strong,
You’re not gone,

You’re still here,
With me all the time,
You’re still here,
When I close my eyes,
I still see you,
I still feel you,
And we’ll never be apart,
You’re still here,
Still here in my heart.”

Sienna felt every single word carved on her heart as she listened to Darius. Tears started to well on her eyes when Darius ended the song. Darius immediately embraced Sienna into his arms.

“That was truly beautiful Darius,” she said with a smile on her face. Darius smiled back as he wiped a single tear drop that fell down her face.

“How come you never told me you play the piano?” she asked.

“I have never touched nor played the piano for almost a year. Besides I am not as good as you. I only know the basics,” he said as he played with Sienna’s hand.

“Who taught you to play?”

“My sister taught me to play. She liked music, just like you,” he said with a hint of sorrow in your eyes. Sienna never knew much about Darius’s sister, Natalya except the fact that she was no longer alive. This was an opportunity for her to know the person that was Natalya Cuza.

“What happen to Natalya? That is my question for the offer you gave me doing dinner. I want you to tell me about your sister,” asked Sienna seriously.
