Serena

An ominous feeling creeped down Roxanne's spine wherever she was inside her own home. Darius had dropped her to the apartment yesterday so that he could go back to the court for attending the important matters and she can pick up the artistic materials that were lacking, also Serena was going to come back to the city thus it felt natural to return.

Yet since the moment she stepped inside the beautifully decorated room that she had spend days to adore and stick cotton clouds to the ceiling refused to bring comfort to her anymore. Wasn't it her safe heaven then why did the premonition in her heart with the heavy feeling of gloom in this place, as if someone had touched it in her absence.

The nymph shook off the feeling before dismissing it as nothing. Darius had like always dispatched two guards outside her door and they did their job well indeed, thus giving her ownself some courage, Roxanne took a cloth to clean the entire space from Serena's room to her own.

'Positions' by Arianna Grande playing as the background music, the little girl was reminded of the way her daddy was. He always said that his work was unimportant and talked silly yet she was completely aware that he took the responsibility with his entire heart.

For the days she lived in his manor, Darius used to be up the entire night for many days when it came to showing dedication to his profession. Not even once he had delayed the calls of those who were in need and in anyway being persecuted wrongly to listen what their entire circumstance was about.

It was only last month that the mob which involved in the illegal hunting of animals on a large scale did their best to bribe the court members yet with hook or crook they could never come on par with the senior levelled judge who was now the head of committee which ran the state.

Roxanne could understand that why her boyfriend was so powerful even though he was still 28, it was all because of his unparalleled hardwork and dedication. Even in her own case, many a times the police and law could not protect her from Elijah yet Darius was fast and efficient, preparing a report on the day the atrocities were committed with a series of evidences gained with the help of an influential spy network made him provide justice to her soon.

Perspiration dropped like pearl beads on her skin as the girl arranged her home when the bird of the doorbell chimed in, making Roxanne run to the door to greet her bestfriend who was finally back.

"Roxy!" Roxanne was almost blinded when she opened the door of her apartment, the guards who saw the woman with a star sunglass on looked at Roxanne to confirm if everything was alright and this was not a man person.

"Anna" Before the girl can smile she was pulled into the embrace of Serena who entered while dragging her belonging before shutting the door with a bang, when this girl went to her cousin's wedding she was a little like an odd ball but her returning made her feel like an extraterrestrial alien.

"Oh come on Roxy, I have bought so many gifts for you from Cuba and Switzerland. Gosh the wedding was so grand and soon my cousin will be crowned the mafia emperor and oh our sis-in-law is so alike you, I am sure she would definitely love you if you people ever meet, um not that she dislikes anyone."

Roxanne felt much lighter and safer as her best friend went on and on about the wedding before opening her bag like the Santa Claus and giving shiny gifts one after another to her.

That was the thing about Serena, she never pretended to be something that her soul was not, having an extravagant upbringing with all the love in the world was how she was raised yet the woman was never in vain, she knew how to give and appreciate even the smallest of the things.

When Roxanne was little there were many of the people that were extremely afraid in approaching her due to the monster who spied on her wherever she went, yet not Serena, that woman appeared always humble and kind with morals that made her a good human in all the ways possible but even Elijah did not dared to talk to Serena in a voice that was loud.

Despite encountering Elijah's glaring eyes many a times he could never dare to say a word to her directly because the woman no matter how simple she looked, was one of the most powerful people in the country. She choose to live in an apartment while earning for herself due to her own wish yet could not be underestimated.

They were friends because Serena was straightforward but Roxanne was shy, The woman told people that she disliked, the same thing on their face while the little girl endured, a reason that Roxanne did not told Serena about Melissa coming to be a friend of hers was because she hated the woman with passion thus for now the little nymph whose mind was in mayhem took a deep breath before listening to her friend who like always brought a load of expensive things for her.

"This is the lingere nightgown from Victoria's secret, it is one of their top collections." The lavender fabric that Serena rose infront of the little Roe's face was entirely transparent and after wearing that it was close to being naked then where can she wear it.....in the bathroom?

"Do you wish to seduce Darius?"

"Seduce daddy? Why?"

"Oh silly girl, then how are you going to make him wrap around your fingers?"

"Isn't he already Anna......"the innocent voice sprouting such words made Serena recoil back with her eyes widening, who the hell taught her that!

What the hell happened when she was away?!
