The Genius' First Love 250 De Amor

Dian was walking past the great hall of the forest mansion towards Darryl's study. That brother of him seemed to have left the capital for good when he got his license and decided to lock himself up in their youngest sister's property.

Her heeled shoe made a ticking sound on the floor as she walked past the vast hall into Darryl's study. Manager Song informed her as she stepped out the car that the young master had been staying up all night for few days now and barely even comes out.

One the other side of the room, Darryl was lounging around a couch carefully perusing the big patch of paper in his hand. The work he had done for the past few days gave him a complex set of feelings—either he was satisfied of it or it needed more revisions before he declares it final.

It had been days since the Chieftana gave him the riddle and all he could think about right now was the answer to it.

Darryl was taking his time scrutinizing thoroughly his work, but his focus was ruined by a knock on the door. He was about to snap at whoever it was, thinking it was manager Song trying to bother him again but instead, her sister's voice came through "Dee?"

Darryl let out a calming exhale before he answered, "Come in"

A second after, the door flew open as Dian stepped in. The first thing the Lagdameo's second miss did was rolled her eye at him "Did you and Dannah forgot that you had another sibling? You never came to visit me at all"

Darryl chuckled a little at his sister's confrontation and gave her an apologetic smile "I'm busy. Come sit with me." He rolled the paper before he put in on the coffee table and welcomed his sister.

Dian sat beside him, but she was still sulking. She crossed her arms as she leaned on the coach and nagged further "No fair. Dannah and you go wherever you want and I'm left at home stuck with father and mother"

"I'm twenty already. I only have five more years to finish my masterpiece" He told her and pat her straight silky black hair that was hanging around her shoulders. "For that reason alone, you must forgive me for not paying you a visit" (If you are reading this novel outside webnovel.com site, it means it had been stolen.

Dian gave him a look as she shoved his hands away "I'm no baby, don't tap my head. And what did you say again?"

"Which one?" He arched a brow "That you should forgive me?"

"You aren't" She rolled another eye but right after, she beamed as she recalled his words "Did you say you are making a masterpiece. Your legendary masterpiece?"

Darryl didn't say a word but chose to reach a cup of tea sitting on the table in front of him.

"Ahhh! You are not telling" Dian made a slight face "You promised not to keep that a secret. Tell me the story behind the masterpiece. You said your masterpiece should have a story behind it that people can share to the other generations"

"For the record, I didn't promise to anything like that" Darryl pointed.

"You did when you shared that plans with me and Dannah when we were young!" She hissed at him. Seconds after, she clung to one of Darryl's arms. She was trying to be sweet so Darryl cannot resist her "Brother please, just tell it to me okay?"

Darryl pulled another of his brows up at his sister sudden mood change. She greeted him with resentment, now she was being nice and sweet. "That will not work on me"

"How about this one?" Dian proceeded to cup Darryl's face with her two hands and locked them to hers, she then flushed a puppy eye in front of his locked face.

Darryl laughed at her sister's demeanor and dismissed her by pointing a finger to her head "Where did you learn that?"

"Xhemin. She said puppy eyes work well on you" Dian retreated as she leaned back at the sofa. Darryl's expression changed and right then Dian realized she shouldn't have uttered Xhemin's name.

"I'm sorry," She said slowly, regretting her words. She knew what happened to Xhemin and about her escapade to the Manggan Island through Dannah.

"I'm fine, don't worry" Darryl a.s.sured her, but his hazel eyes tell otherwise. Xhemin left Hamps.h.i.+re crossing the sea and she didn't left alone, she brought with her the Lagdameo heir's heart and until now Darryl was not able to get it back. With the intention to change the topic that was ruining the mood, he dragged his eyes toward the coffee table, pulled open the patch of paper that had been rolled on and showed it carefully to his sister.

"G.o.d heavens!" Dian pulled herself toward the table immediately when she saw it "Is this the thing?.."

Darryl didn't say a word as Dian raised the patch of paper to scrutinize it further. It was a blue print of her brother's legendary masterpiece that he had dedicatedly work on for few days now.

"…It seemed different from the usual ones" She managed to say in the middle of her amazement. Dian knew how to look at blue print as their grandmother had plenty of them. As she dug deeper to the paper, she knew Darryl's masterpiece was extraordinary, but she was still confused as to why he chose this infrastructure "What do you call this piece?"

"Puente de Amor" He declared in hard tone and his expression turned serious now.

"Bridge of love…" Dian translated the name to English and suddenly some chills travelled down to her neck. Her gentle hands suddenly shook as something came into her that made her turn to look at her brother sternly "Dee, tell me you aren't planning to build a bridge toward the Manggan island? Are you?"

For the nth time, Darryl didn't answer her question but the look upon his face confirmed every question Dian had with his masterpiece.

"O…. my…. G.o.d!" Dian's jaw dropped.
