Capri raised his head instinctively and saw Red walking towards him.
He smiled taking in her appearance.
"Truly breathtaking." The words came out as a whisper, his eyes never leaving her being.
He admired her as she walked not too gracefully towards him, he guessed the heels she wore posed difficulty for her.
"Hey there!" They both spoke as Red finally reached the table.
He stood up immediately and drew out for her the empty seat.
"Sorry, I am a bit late." She said tight lipped as she sat down, "There was traffic."
It wasn't entirely a lie but most of the reason why she was late was cause she developed cold feet like it was a wedding.
"No problem dear." Capri said returning to his seat.
"I am also sorry I had to cancel yesterday." She apologized, "My boss..."
"I understand Red." He waved the i
Daniel and Red matched their glares aggressively, none relieving the intensity of the harshness of their stares as they kept staring daggers at each other."Why are you fucking lying Red?" He growled, "Can't you be honest for once in your life?""The question you asked me is none of your concern." She pointed out, "So I get to choose if to tell you the truth or lie to you.""I am your boss." He stated, "You shouldn't be lying to me Red." He said, "Now for the last time, how did you spend your day yesterday?""At home, doing nothing." She told the same lie, "Why are you so curious to know?""You liar! You are fucking lying again!" He barked, "You fucking went on a date with a man.""Well... I am not into women so it would be a man of course." She shrugged folding her arms across her chest."Learn to be honest Red." He shook his head and walked
"She's always around!" She whined for the umpteenth time. Red was beginning to get irritated by the Karma lady to an extent she began regretting ever going against Daniel's wishes.She was always at the office, clinging to Daniel pursuing him like bees to honey and giving opinions when hers wasn't needed.Worse still, she had Red do everything for her immediately she found out she was Daniel's personal assistant she never relented on making her an errand girl."Oh Red get me coffee, oh Red get me this, oh Red get me that." Red mimicked Karma's voice.She wanted her gone but she didn't know how to go about it as immediately Daniel found out that she was at the receiving end of Karma's leeching at the office, he backed down on trying to get her gone."And he loves to see me suffer!" She was complaining about Daniel this
"Roses for Red." The delivery man dressed in blue overall called out, "Roses for Red." He said again."I would reach out to you later ma'am." Red hung up and dropped the receiver. She raced out of the office immediately."Here I am." She said on seeing the man."Here you go ma'am." He handed her a bouquet of roses and a wrapped white box, "Sign here." He pointed to the clip board he was holding."Thank you." Red received the gifts and put her signature where she was asked to.She bade goodbye to him and went into her office.She hadn't even dropped the stuff on her desk when her door opened and Rose rushed in."What did he get you?" She walked up to Red."Chill." Red walked around and took her seat, "I haven't even checked it out." Surprisingly, Red and Rose hap
"Shrek found love and you still haven't and would never! Jerk!" Red screamed at him and stormed out of his office slamming the door behind him. Daniel was at it again. Back to his normal self. The sweet, funny and playful Daniel of last night was gone.The cruel, harsh and stone cold Daniel was back and all too quickly. She stomped off to her office angrily with a frown on her face that even put Rose off. Rose jerked in shock as Red got in and banged the door hard. She shook her head and continued tapping away on her computer system guessing Red wasn't in the mood to talk now. "He infuriates me so much, ughh!" She screamed and swiped the files arranged on her table in anger. They all came crashing down to the floor making a messy pile. "I hate it here!" She yelled out pulling her hair as she did. Red couldn't recall
Daniel was beginning to feel a little guilty about what he did to Red.He couldn't sleep.There he was standing next to his kitchen counter with a glass of water in his hand and his phone in the other dialing Dane at three AM.His best friend picked after the third ring."Hello." Dane said, "What the fuck do you want punk? It's fucking three Am."Daniel rolled his eyes, "Dane I messed up! I messed up big time!"He could hear his best friend sigh."Who is she and how many months gone is the pregnancy? Do you love her? Are you willing to keep the baby? What steps are you taking next?""What the fuck are you talking about?" He asked him."You said you messed up." Dane told him, "So I am guessing you got someone pregnant!""Fuck! idiot." He gritted, "It's Red! Red!""YOU GOT RED PREGNANT
Red decided to finally appear at the office after four days.And that was when she had decided that Daniel had suffered enough and Dane had also informed her that he was at the verge of reporting himself to the police.She walked into the building leisurely wearing shorts and t shirt not with a bag either.She was holding in her hand a letter, a half resignation letter she called it.Ignoring the stares as usual knowing they only looked at her like that cause she had been faux missing for a while, she walked into Daniels office after saying hi to Rose.She didn't knock. She just waltzed in like she owned the place."Jerk!" She screeched flinging the letter at him."R..ed." He stammered catching the letter, "It's you.""Yea, God kept me alive after that stunt you pulled." She rolled her eyes."Don'
A gentle breeze blew throughout the lawned green field caressing their skin and hair softly leaving soothing feelings. Daniel ran his hand through his hair before wearing his white face cap, he rubbed his palms together before picking up his golf bag. "Are you gonna sit all day in there?" He asked Dane who was sitting in the golf cart, "We do not have time." "Waiting for someone." He said. "Who?" Daniel asked. "One...two...three and there she is." "You brought Red here?" Daniel screeched as he saw his best friend waving at an approaching golf cart. Red was waving at them with her bright Red hair flying in rhythm with the wind. "She asked what I was doing today that her boyfriend would be out of town and Sarah isn't chanced to hang out with her." Dane said, "So I told her to come to hang out with us." "And you didn't think to inform me?" Daniel was getting furious,
"I wonder what part time job Red does." Daniel said to Dane, "But boy am I glad she's always away for the rest of the day.""There is a thin line between hate and love." Dane smirked."There is a thing line between me punching you and plucking your eyes out." He growled at him."I..." Dane couldn't complete his statement as they heard a loud crash."What is that?" They both asked simultaneously.The two men stood up and rushed to Daniel's window, looking down the couldn't see anything.Crash!It was the darn sound again and even louder this time. Rose rushed through the door with panic written all over her face."What is that noise Rose?" Daniel asked her immediately acknowledging her entrance."Sir, it's Red." &

A year and some months later."Daniel! Red!" Dane yelled his face contorting in anger and embarrassment, "Come and look what your child did!" He cried out as he felt more of the liquid seeping through his pants.The little girl giggled at him revealing her milk teeth with her thumb stuck in her mouth, "D...D..." She chanted.Dane growled at her."Why are you growling at my child?!" A very furious Red rushed into the room as she tried to balance her crown on her head, "I would hang you!"The child chuckled as if agreeing with her mother as she bubbled with excitement when Red approached."Like daughter like mother!" He growled, "She wet herself on me jeez, I don't want to do this anymore!""No! No!" Daniel walked into the room grinning at his best friend's predicament, "You came in minutes ago whining about how we do not let you spend time with the
"Daniel!" His name came from her lips in a whispered shock. She couldn't believe he was right there clutching to her window looking really tired. He looked haggard making her wonder what he had gone through to get to her. His hair was a mess and she could see leaves and twigs sticking out of it. His face had some bruises and his eyes spelt tired.He looked like the male version of an old hag."Well, look what the cat dragged in." She snorted with folded arms as she watched Daniel debate within himself if he should enter into the room or just stay clutched to the window."Why didn't a wolf drag me in instead?" He sassed back, "Can I come in?" He asked her as he watched her stand with folded arms in a very sheer night gown. He could feel his desire stir.Focus Daniel! Focus! He chided himself."Why do you need my permission to get in?" She smirked, "You already climbed up all the wa
Red could swear that she had heard Daniel calling her name but then again she thought she was hallucinating.It's not like he could just barge into the castle and demand that he wants me back in his life, She shook her head in disbelief, You are almost a Queen Red, you shouldn't be having such bizarre thoughts and imaginations."Does something ail you my dear?" The voice broke her from her thoughts and she looked at the person in front of her."No, nothing." She shook her head, "I just remembered something.""You can talk to me about anything you know." He persisted and Red was a bit irritated."Your Highness, prince Roland." She cleared her throat, "Could we proceed with the lunch?""Yes of course." He said and immediately dug into the food, "So, about my proposal, what do you think?"Red
Daniel thought he could just walked into the Castle, find Red, proclaim his undying love to her, she accepts him and boom they get married but boy, was he wrong.He couldn't believe the he was being dragged out of the palace premises by his hair and he was carried and thrown out landing face flat on the ground.He sat up with a groan rubbing his face as it ached, he hadn't even managed to get into the palace before he got caught and thrown out.He got up to his feet and and walked away from the castles gates. He had to make a phone call and also get food to eat. Dane couldn't stop squealing with laughter over the phone very much to Daniel's irritation. He had related his experience to him and he erupted in full blown laughter mocking his predicament."Can you stop laughing?" Dani
Daniel closed his laptop with a sigh. He leaned back on his chair with his hands folded behind his head. His gaze was fixated on his door half expecting Red to walk in ungracefully with a teasing smile on her lips and tinkling blue eyes filled with mischief.He knew that wasn't going to happen. Him expecting her to walk through that door like before. He had let her go out of anger and now he deeply regretted it.It's been days, weeks and months since he last saw Red. He hadn't seen the woman he loved for a very long time. He hadn't seen her long luscious red hair that shone brightly, he hadn't gazed into her blue eyes in a long time. Her voice was foreign to him now as he hadn't heard it in a long time. He missed her a whole lot and as time passed he had tried to reach her but she wanted nothing to do with him. She only spoke with Dane and sometimes the rest of the family. She had blocked him everywhere and changed lines and h
Red stared at Daniel silently willing him to say something but his mouth was sealed in a tight line. She saw how his eyes glowered in anger and betrayal as he looked at her."Say something please?" She licked her lips as they suddenly became dry, "You are scaring me." She watched his brows furrow."I don't understand what you just said Red." Daniel said to her shaking his head, "What do you mean?""I want you to say something, you aren't responding to what I told you earlier.""I want to hear it again." His voice was stern."I have parents and I am the crown princess of Cladonia.""You are suppose to be an orphan.""Well, I found out that I got parents." She shrugged."Why do I have a feeling that you have known about this for a long time but you chose to keep it away from me?" He said, "Prove me wrong please."
Daniel was alive! Red couldn't believe it as she sat next to the bed staring at him. He smiled at her with his eyes beaming and she reached out a finger tracing the seam of his lips."You are alive." It came out as a whisper, her eyes widening in excitement, "Oh my God Daniel, you are alive!" She got over her excitement and pulled him into a bone crushing hug."Easy." He gasped, "I just got out of surgery.""I am sorry." She pulled back and rested her head on his shoulder, "I am just so happy that you are alive." And with that she broke down into tears crying her heart out."Don't cry babe." He pulled her closer stroking her hair, "I am here now."Red couldn't stop crying. She had spent days hoping and praying for Daniel to live. She had seen him in the ICU with different tubes sticking out of his body. She had stood behind the glass looking through at him oblivious to what was happening around her as her eyes were
Lorenzo took long calm strides bringing him closer to them. He gazed at them with his glaring good eye, "What is wrong Grace?" He taunted, "You look pale, have you see a ghost?" He smirked. "No..." She tried to be calm, "I am just wondering why you are one eyed?" "Daniel did that to him." Hart said to her, "Instead of dying, he ended up one eyed." "Shut up Hart!" Lorenzo yelled in a fit of rage, "Keep blabbing and I will be sure to make your death slow and painful." "You are not killing my husband, you bastard!" Mrs Hart spat, "I wouldn't let you!" "I was a fool to let him live the first time but I also made sure to make his life hell." He laughed, "But now, I will be damned if I let him walk out of here alive. So, which of you shall I begin with?" He asked, "You?" He pointed the gun at Hart, "Or you?" The gun was moved to his wife, "Oh! I know! Let's play a game of shoot and dodge." "Leave Grace out of this, it's me you want." Hart pl
