Daniel didn't know if to yell, cry out or get in another boat and chase after her.
"I love you Red!" He yelled again wondering if she had heard him the first time and hoping she heard him this time as he watched the disappearing boat she was on.
"This is all my fucking fault." He wailed inwardly, "I should have listened to Dane."
He knew he should have listened to his best friend. If he had come clean with Red about his activities none of this would have happened. He fell to the ground once again digging his hands into the sand and growling angrily. He could feel dirt get underneath his nails.
He realised he had just made the greatest mistake of his life, lying to the woman he loved and letting her go.
He began to regret his actions and regret not listening to Dane.Dane had warned him severally to tell Red about his underground activities but he kept pushing the issue aside never thinking that Red will find out from another source and he also
Daniel let out a huge sigh of relief immediately Red's eyes began to open slowly. He was elated but too scared to show it considering what had happened earlier.He almost went crazy when him and his captain couldn't t find her in the storm and when they had found the submerged boat, he didn't waste time in diving into the water trying to look for her.He had searched the bottoms calling her name as he swam but didn't get any sign of her.After a while, Daniel had found Red struggling for her life and he swam to where she was, picked her immediately and dove to the surface.His blood had ran cold on touching her freezing, pale skin and he panicked thinking he had lost her as he saw no signs of respiration.He tried every method of resuscitation he knew and had shed tears when she was unresponsive.But eventually she did and here he was elated that she was awake but scared a
"I will miss you." Red sniffed hugging Queen one last time, "I will miss you very much.""Me too." Queen sobbed loudly, "You come back again?""Yes, yes." Red nodded, "I will." She promised.Alberto and Daniel just stood aside with uneasy looks on their faces as they watched the crying ladies bid farewell to each other. Both women disentangled from their tight embrace and faced the men. Their faces were red and puffy from the constant whimpering and they looked morose."You sure you didn't forget anything?" Daniel walked up to his girlfriend and held her, "Could be long before we come back here again.""Do you have to remind me?" She scowled at him getting annoyed at his last statement."Okay, okay." He raised his hands up in defense, "I am sorry." He drew her closer and placed a kiss on
Now, dreams had never meant anything to Red, she never even thought of them after rising from bed. But this particular dream got her heart racing on a Monday morning.She sweated as she got out of bed with a disturbed mind and a pounding headache.She moved into the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror and stared at it."It's only just a bad dream." She whispered to herself as flashes of the nightmare invaded her mind, "It's not going to happen, it will not happen."Daniel had long gotten out of bed and got to work very early leaving a note by the bedside telling Red he had to run off and get a head's start at the office. She so wondered what he was going to do and at the same time she wondered if he remembered what today was.Today was very special to her and as she peered into the mirror, she silently prayed nothing would go wrong.She closed her eyes, counted one to t
"Well! Well! Well!" Capri said in a sing song voice as he walked into the office leisurely with his hands tucked in his pants pockets, "What a sight!" He eyed Red and Daniel as they struggled to put on their clothes,"Am I interrupting something?""Capri!" Red whispered low enough for her ears only, her heart growing cold, what is he doing here? Why is he here?"Who the fuck let you in?!" Daniel growled harshly at the unwanted and unexpected guest. He was done buckling his trousers now, "Why the fuck are you here Capri?" He moved and pushed Red behind him in a bid to protect her.They know each other? Red was stunned, is this what the press meant by being involved with the lorenzos?"Nice to see you again Red." He winked at her before taking a seat on the sofa paces before Daniel's desk, "I must say you have managed to keep yourself, your waistline is still
Confusion, hurt and anger clouded the air as soon as Capri left. The gorgeous birthday cake was forgotten. Red watched as Daniel went to his table, opened his laptop, logged in and begin to check his files.His facial expression, she couldn't read but she could tell that everything was wrong, everything had gone wrong."Daniel." She croaked as she was near tears, "Let me explain please.""Where is my phone?" He searched around frantically ignoring her, "I need to reach Rose." He was totally confused forgetting that he could call for Rose outside his office.He picked up his phone, unlocked it and looked up Rose's contact, "It's blocked!" He said, "How is it blocked?""I did it." Red admitted knowing there was no point in lying, "Daniel, will you please let me explain." He looked at her gripping hi
"You have got to wake up your majesty." Red felt a light touch and heard a soft voice. She knew instantly that it was her hand maid.Her eyes fluttered open and her gaze met the ceilings above making her to regret instantly as the designs were familiar to the ones at Daniel's mansion in Greece. It brought back memories that she had tried to forget over the past few weeks but failed to as every night she spent confined in her room, she was left to her memories and things that reminded her of him."The Queen specially requested you have breakfast with them today." Her maid Claudia said as she saw Red was awake, "She isn't taking no for an answer this time your majesty.""Claudia." Red sat up with a sigh, "Can you skip the formalities and just called me Red?" She pleaded of her maid again as this was not the first time."Sorry your Majesty." Claudia nodded, "You are the crown princess, heir to the throne and
Avianna stood up immediately and so did Ra. They both held hands nervously as they watched their daughter walk towards them, her face carried a brooding image and the anxiety grew more in them as she approached with Claudia following her obediently. They didn't know what she was thinking.She looked up at her husband and he squeezed her hand reassuringly, "It's okay dear." He smiled at her, "Remember we have to take it slow with her.""You think she will still be as angry as she has been all these years?" She couldn't hide her fears."Be calm love, don't worry yourself too much." He placed a kissed on her forehead and drew her closer. Red's heart clenched painfully as she saw the open display of affection between them.That's exactly how he used to hold me, she fought back the tears welling in her eyes,
Mrs Hart hugged Daniel really close comforting him as he cried as though he was a kindergarten student. She rubbed his back trying to calm him down as he sobbed, "Let it out Dear." She said, "Let it all out."Dane just stood aside with folded arms watching them, "Would you quit crying like a baby?" He rolled his eyes, "We came here to talk not for you to sob.""Watch it Dane!" She frowned at him, "Have you guys made any plan yet?""Nope." He shook his heard, "Our lovely leader is here crying like a goat!""Have you ever fucking seen a goat cry?" Daniel raised his head from his mother's lap, "What the hell are you saying?""Oh that got you to stand up!" Dane shook his head."Stop it boys." Mrs Hart warned them, "Like I said, what's the plan?""We don't have one yet, mother." Daniel scratched his air, "The only thing I can think of

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
