EVERYONE!!! I would like to present to you.... DARIEN (David Gandy)

I'm so excited, he's so damn hot!!

Anyway.... 

Changes; this chapter is going to be in third P.O.V.

"Judging a person does not define who they are, it defines who you are..."

"I know you disagreed with the partnership but with the publicity both companies should get a boost," Georgio spoke professionally, a plan forming in his mind as soon as he saw the papers this morning. The perfect opportunity for the joining to happen, like it should have years ago until Dariens father tore all his hard work to shreds. 

Darien stayed quiet, an instant guilt passing threw his body at the memories of such a subject. The look of disgust, hatred and pain of her face was something he would never be able to vanish from his mind. The more he tried the more it pained him. Despite what she done to him she would always be his treasure. No amount of pain could change the deep love he once felt for her. Yet he couldn't even look at her without the feelings rushing back to him.

He loved her then, she was perfect to him. Her chubby body, pimpled face and frizzy hair never phased him. It was her pure innocent soul he fell in love with at such a young age.

"And where does this leave you father?" Sapphire rose a perfectly plucked eye-brow in her fathers direction, she knew her father only done things when they were of a benefit to him.

"Can't I just want what is best for my daughter?" Georgio smiled at his beautiful child, he had to admit the drastic change in her beauty from her childhood and teenage years. She had blossomed into the perfect women, a women any man would be proud to call their daughter and any man would love to have on his arm. His eyes darting to Darien for a split second without a second thought. He was his key to making his plans work.

"Enough of this shit where is the food?" Dom interrupted the tense conversation, pulling his arm out of Elizabeth's clingy grasp as Georgio and Amelia instantly gave their son their full attention. Their sons were always their pride and joy, especially the twins.

It disgusted Dom how their parents could favor their children more than the others as his arm instantly snaked around Sapphire, feeling her tense body relax slightly as she leaned into him, glad of the brotherly love. Dom making a mental note to spend more time in the City with his sister. She had changed so much, no longer happy and bubbly. It was like she was a shell of her former self as the urge to hurt whoever hurt her coursed threw his veins, the man sitting directly in front of him.

Darien noticed the glares of Dom as his eyes landed on Sapphire for the second time tonight. Really properly looking at her. It was unbelievable how much she had changed, not just physically but as a person. She wasn't the girl he fell for, she was much more than that, she was strong now.

"Darien's parents will be joining us then we shall eat," Amelia smiled dotingly at her son, ignoring Sapphire as she took a seat next to Georgio. Ignoring the tension as she started rattling questions at Sasha about their baby, the baby Sapphire wished was never made yet couldn't help feel ashamed at such thoughts towards an innocent child. It wasn't their fault they were conceived.

"It all makes me rather sick to be honest," Sapphire fake gagged as Dom chuckled slightly at her, both watching the mindless conversation going on between the devils they were both eager to get away from.

"I bet you twenty that baby isn't his," Dom whispered quietly into Sapphires ear as he watched Darien from across the room. He hadn't touched his fiance the full night, acting as if she wasn't there as she held onto his arm, nodding passively as she spoke to him. Dom could see right threw it. She had trapped him with the child and probably some other things.

"And what makes you say that?" Sapphire smirked slightly, the thought of Darien getting his heart broke the way he broke hers appealing to her as the ache in her heart reappeared. He would deserve it.

"The man looks miserable," Dom knew he couldn't say anything though as Elizabeth attached herself to his arm, desperate for his attention as she stuck her chest out more, her eyes catching a glimpse at the beautiful Sapphire as she felt her core dampen beyond belief.

He didn't know why he kept her around, the rest of his women were a one night thing but never as persistent as this one. He had tried many times to get rid of her but she still came crawling back for more, loving the way he dominated her.

"That makes both of us," Sapphire whispered gently, her teary eyes glancing at Darien who swirled his wine around in his glass, completely out of the conversation. "He'll be pissed to be in the same room with me is all," she laughed miserably, letting her head fall onto Doms shoulder as she snuggled into his warmth. The sadness settling in once again. Why couldn't things go back to the way they were just last week? She wished her life went back to the simply hectic work related and nothing else life.

"Bet you a hundred they boobs are fake," Dom whispered quietly into Sapphires ear as she gasped in shock, a startled laugh escaping her mouth as her eyes quickly landed on Sasha's breasts which were spilling from her tight dress.

"Don't be so crude, that's what happens when you're pregnant," she couldn't believe her brother, he was always the same, surprised no women had slapped him in the face for the rude comments he made about them. 

Darien's body stilled, his swirling glass coming to a halt as her laughter filled his ears, clenching his teeth together as he tried to control himself. "She cheated on you, many times," he chanted multiple times in his head, trying to think logically. It had been years since he heard her laugh, moments before he broke her heart to be precise.

He refused to listen to Sasha ramble on about their child, he wasn't in the mood, especially with his parents joining them for dinner also. Stress was building within him, his workload crushing him as well as Sasha nagging about the wedding every 2 minutes. Some times he regretted it all but he wouldn't allow himself to go down that road. She cheated on him, she deserved it all didn't she? Though seeing her smile with her brother had jealousy rise within him, she never looked at him the way she looked at Dom, always hatred. She had no right to hate him, it was her who ruined them.

"I know my breasts, they are fake," Dom stated proudly as Sapphire choked on the champagne she was drinking, coughing loudly as Dom patted her back, laughing historically at her disgusted face.

"You fucking brute," she couldn't hide her disgust as a smile slipped onto her lips, for once actually feeling happy despite being in a room full of people she hated.

"Language Sapphire that isn't lady like!" Amelia scolded Sapphire, appalled at her behavior in front of guests.

"Who the hell said I was a lady?" Sapphire challenged, bringing the bottle to her mouth to take another drink, slouching back into her brothers embrace, being careful of Elizabeth's arm which was wrapped around his waist, rather close to her as she choose to ignore it.

"I raised you better," Sapphire nearly choked once again as she looked at her mother in disgust.

"My brothers raised me," Doms body went tense at the mention of such thing. He remembered when they were younger Sapphire was always left about by herself, not one of them wanted to look after her. Everything she learnt was from the boys. Her father only interested when she was old enough to learn about the business.

"Excuse me," Sapphire sighed as she stood from the couch, needed to empty her bladder and get out of the room that was currently making her head ache.

"Oh I will come!" Elizabeth all but jumped from the chair before being pulled back down by Doms strong arm, disappointment running through her as she sighed, cuddling back into his side.

"Yea..." Sapphire muttered as she walked out from the room, she didn't know how much more she could take. Seriously considering moving to another country to get away from everyone, dragging Dom with her of course but she could never leave Elisa, Layla and Kieran, they were her rocks when she needed them the most. Desperately wishing they could be with her just now as she made her way to one of the downstairs bathrooms, going to the furthest away to take longer as she hummed softly.

She was proud of herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had managed to avoid those hypnotizing ocean blue eyes, his perfectly chiseled bone jaw structure, that hair she desperately wanted to grab onto once again. Not to mention the facial hair that had her clenching in need, a cold shower desperately needed as she cursed herself for being such a prude. Now all she had to do was get over tonight.

Sighing she pulled the bathroom door open, instantly stopping as she laid eyes on him. He must of followed her, what the hell did he want?

His cold eyes narrowed dangerously as his muscular body took a step closer to her trembling frame, her confidence instantly vanishing by his close proximity. She thought she could do this but looking at him she was no longer sure. 

Six years ago she would of jumped his bones but now all she wanted to do was run, run and never look back.

"You will always be mine," he whispered darkly, his eyes holding a promise as she gulped down the lump that formed in her throat. Unsure of his sudden change in feelings towards her. Breathing deeply as his cologne entered her nostrils, preparing to say the words that would make it all his challenge, his obsession.

"Not again."
