Love, Lies & Legacy- final chapter

By -
CHAPTER 27 “What’s that you’re holding mum?” I asked, referring to the old oblong casing she was holding. “It is said that there some very important documents inside. But the problem is, nobody knows how to open it,” she said while gathering all her things. “Too bad,” I said while taking a sip of my coffee. “Tell me about it. Look honey, I’m running late. Could you tell your dad that he has a dinner appointment with the Johansson’s at The Ivy Restaurant? My cruise leaves port at 5.00. I will call you later tonight,” she said “All right. Have fun in Paris mum,” I said with a smile. She came up to me, kissed my forehead and walked towards the door. “Love you, Sienna!” “Love you too, mum!” I said as she opened the door. I watched her walk to the Vogue Range Rover, wearing her classic Chanel tweed suit while totting her Hermes Birkin bag and that very odd oblong casing. That was the last time I saw my mum. The image of her started to blur as everything around me started

Love, Lies & Legacy- chapter 26

By -
CHAPTER 26 When we arrived at Château Constance, I felt relived. It was the only place that neither Jesse nor Lexy knew about. At least I hoped they did not know. Inside, Aunt Marguerite came out from the study room and put her arms around me. "Thank heavens you are all right," she said while pulling me closer. Apparently, she called me during our journey here to warn us about Jesse possibly being at Annaliese's house. If only she called a couple of hours ago. "I will always be all right when Darius is with me," I assured her while glancing at Darius. He caught my gaze and a small smile crept his face. "Did you know Lexy Pierce killed Aurora ? Or the slightest idea why she would?" Darius asked Marguerite. His eyes were full of wrath and his face was rigid. "We had suspicion that she did but we did not have any solid evidence. Then we had a lead with the Everard twins," she said after looking at me for a long time. I shivered at the n

Love, Lies & Legacy- chapter 25

CHAPTER 25 Darius sped out of the city and into the countryside, going as fast as the car could handle. When we were a good distance away from the city, Darius made a turn into a small road. At the end of the road, was a wide-open field that overlooked the hills. He stopped the car and got out. He opened my door and let out a hand. I instantly took it and was embraced into a hug. I leaned my forehead against his chest and started to cry again. Darius tighten his arms around me, his lips in my hair. I held his waist securely, not wanting to let go. I was too terrified to face anything, too scared to trust anyone but him. All I could hear was the sound of the delicate wind and the steady heartbeat of Darius. He cradled me soothingly in his arms like I was his most precious possession. Darius gently lifted my chin to meet his gaze. Even though the tears blurred my vision, I could still see Darius's immaculate visage and was grateful he was there for me. His eyes were full of wor

Love, Lies & Legacy- chapter 24

CHAPTER 24 When I arrived at Annaliese's house, I was almost relieved. Relieved that I have arrived in one piece and that I was going to be safe. One thing that was on my mind was the fact that I was still felt vexed for Darius. I felt that I cared for him too much to see him get hurt, even if my feelings towards him are new. I knocked on the door but there was no answer. I turned the doorknob and stepped inside. "Annaliese!" I said as I stood in the hallway. I remember Annaliese always loved to be in the living room so I decided to check in there first. I slowly opened the door and saw a tall figure standing in front of the ceiling high glass window. The sun was shining through, creating a halo around the person that lighted the dark room. I was positive it was not Annaliese and my heart felt a little warm as I thought of Darius. "What took you so long? In that Jaguar, you could have arrived here an hour ago," he said, still not facing me. My smile faded

CHAPTER 23 "Want to take a drive?" Darius asked me after breakfast. I was so interested with his cars; I simply could not turn it down. He showed me for the first time, the massive garage he owns. There were 4 cars, his black Mercedes, his blue Jaguar and other cars that were covered. He tossed me the keys and sat in the passenger seat. I sat at the driver's seat and took a good look at Darius. "Are you sure you want me to drive this? It's a XKR jaguar and I don't want to ruin it," I said nervously. "I trust you," he said confidently. Even though I have experienced driving fast on extremely fast cars, I was a little hesitant about the joy ride. I turned the ignition and was greeted with the beautiful sound of a 230 horsepower engine. As we got to the main road, I was still driving in a safe speed of 70 miles/hour "You can do better than that. Come on, Sienna," he said. I could not do it. The car was too expensive and it was not

Love, Lies & Legacy- chapter 22

CHAPTER 22 "I have a confession to make…" Darius said while gently stroking my hair. I opened my eyes to look up at him. "Let me guess, you forgot to tell me that you're gay?" I said sarcastically. Darius smiled at me, a smile that accentuated his dimples and made me smile too. "Would I have slept with you if I was gay?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "No, what I meant to say was that I love your hair. It is so innocent," he said while playing with my bangs. "Innocent?" I asked while playing with his fingers. "You know, your hair looks naturally and lusciously wavy. In addition, I love its shade of brown," he said with another smile. "Thanks. I like your accent. Romanian and French, a very dangerous yet sexy combination. But sometimes it's a bit…” I said, leaving the sentence hanging. I could not find the right words to finish my sentence. "Distracting?" "Precisely! So next time,

Love, Lies & Legacy- chapter 21

CHAPTER 21 "When will you stop thinking about him?" he asked, almost in an angry tone. I just hated it when he taps into my mind during the most inappropriate time. "Why do you care?" I asked in an angry tone while standing up. "Because it is a waste of time!" he said, drawing closer to me. I turned my back on him and turned off the Ipod. "But that still does not make Jesse a depraved person," I shot back. "I am not saying he is entirely a bad person. It seems that he is acting bad toward you. He has not contacted you since the shooting. Doesn't he care about you?" he said a little calmly. "Why are you mad at Jesse? What did he do to you?" I said while crossing my arms and turning to face him. "I am not mad at Jesse. I am mad at you for not realizing that he is not worthy of you. I am also mad at myself for…." He said, leaving his sentence hanging. My back was against the wall as Darius came closer
