《The Genius’ First Love》The Genius' First Love

Dannah prayed for her sins and Scar's.
She looked at the water idly as if there was something there that she just recently thrown. The once calmed water bubbled up, marking the fact that something was going further below.
She smiled devilishly at once as her eyes let loose some tears. It trekked down her cheeks, then to her lips. She willingly tasted the bitterness of it.
"Finally it's done," she whispered in the wind who had been the witness of all her dirty deeds. It responded with much colder breeze, making the hairs of her arms all stand up as she chilled. "Goodbye…" She bade farewell to whoever was she thinking.
Soon her peaceful solitude was distrubed when her boat swayed off, making her almost lose her balance.
"Dee?" She was surprised to see a familiar shadow at her back.
"Dannah what have you done!" Darryl came on her, grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her hard.
"Dee why are you here?" Fear made its way through her eyes for a moment yet she immediately recovered and spoke again. "I thought you are in L'Empire,"
"Where are the children Dannah?" Xhemin was in the other boat just next to hers, her deep ink eyes scrutinizing Danah's boat corner by corner hoping to see some signs that could help them in their search. "What did you do to them?"
"I...I…,"
"Dannah where is Wolfe and Willow?" Darryl was becoming like a ragged beast, ready to devour anyone who went against him. His fingers dug in her sister's own shoulder, piercing it painfully that Dannah already flinched at it. "Tell me at this instant!"
"Oh God Darryl!" When Xhemin saw the troubled water and the bubbles on the surface, her face fell miserably. "In the water, look!"

Darryl dragged his eyes to where Xhemin was looking and caught the bubbles almost fading away. Without a word, he jumped right into it as he freed his sister. With his strong force, Dannah stumbled on her feet and fell to the boat's surface, still speechless.
Darryl dives further below following his instincts. The water was cold and it was dark underwater because the sky wasn't clear that day and so he had some struggle searching. He went to the surface to get some air, heard someone calling his name, ignored it and searched underwater again.
Soon, he caught something and even how deep the water was, he went off with all his might. He was losing some breath then but he took the risk.

Dannah who seemed to have awakened from the abruptness of the situation, called Darryl's name worriedly on the surface. She saw him emerge for a moment then get lost in the water again.
"Dee!" She called on him again but her worry turned to something else when she felt a hand on her back, grabbing her with the same force Darryl did earlier.
"Tell me what you did to my children!" It was Xhemin this time that was confronting her. "Dannah how could you be this cruel? Why the children?"
"Why the children?" Dannah repeated her last words in a question form, "What are you even talking about?"
"The children! Wolfe and Willow! Don't deny it any longer you are caught in the act! Everyone knows you took them!" Xhemin spat the words in her face. She was so mad that she was ready to drown Dannah just like how she did to the children! If only she was as cruel as her.
"I didn't take them! What the hell are you accusing me off?" Dannah pushed Xhemin away. The two women struggled for a moment until Dannah was able to free herself from Xhemin's fury.

"Don't ever lie!" Xhemin yelled.
"I'm not lying!" Dannah defended then worriedly looked into the water. "I'm not sure where you get that foolish idea!"
"The nurse in the hospital saw you!" Xhemin pointed and was ready to grab Dannah again. This time she was ready to be more violent to her. She won't let her escape, she'll make sure she'll rot in the prison until she'll regret all the things she did.
"Look!" Dannah sighed deep as she took in all the unruly accusations, "I don't know why the nurse told you that but I don't even know where you had been. I didn't go to the hospital, I didn't took the children,"
"Lies!" Xhemin refused to believe it. No matter how Dannah's eyes shone with innocence, she didn't buy such an act. Dannah was a trained spy, she can do and act clean without getting in trouble, "I won't fall for those lies again!"
"CEO Leigh," Dannah was so done with it. She felt thoroughly wrong for being physically hurt and mentally abused by then. "As far as my conscience goes, I am innocent of what you are accusing me. I don't know what you are talking about but if you are wondering why I am here, well… I'm here...I'm here to scatter the ashes of a dear friend," her voice went low when she uttered her last statement.
Xhemin felt her sincerity but was not totally convinced by what she thought was an act. However, just before she could utter more words, Darryl emerged from under water, breathless.
"Dee!" Dannah called on him worriedly. She immediately extended her arms in the hopes that her brother would accept it.
"Wolfe and Willow?" Xhemin welcomed the Lagdameo heir with the names of the children hoping he'd say that he had found them and that they were fine.
"They are not here," Darryl shook his head and she showed Xhemin a white urn he found down below. He knew whose ashes were inside it as he was familiar with the urn. It was the one he ordered for Scar in the morgue. He realized then when he saw it underwater that Dannah must have taken it and went here to scatter Scar's ashes. She probably threw the urn underwater after.
Darryl let go of the urn right after Xhemin saw it and reached for Dannah's hand.
