She was once again attracting stares as she walked through the company's lobbies.
Not because of her weirdly dyed hair or obnoxiously all red outfit but because of the terrible aroma coming from the cup cakes she held.
Every one knew she was holding burnt cakes.
The stares didn't stop her from greeting every individual she walked passed with a cheerful smile and a mini introduction that went thus; "Hi I am Red, Mr Daniel's new personal assistant."
Some stared at her quizzically with hundreds of questions running through their minds while the others simply smiled back and wished her a good day.
"You can't go in Red." Rose told her for the umpteenth time while tapping rapidly on the keyboard placed on her table.
"Why?" Red asked again for whatever time, Rose had lost count.
She shifted her gaze from the monitor's screen to Red's face, "He doesn't want you in
Daniel was walking leisurely towards his office but broke into a run immediately he saw people dressed in blue overalls coming and going in and out of his office."What in the flying falcons is going on here?" He asked Rose as soon as he got to her table."It's Red sir." Rose replied timidly afraid that his sharp gaze could actually release daggers at her.He didn't say anything further but rather he marched into the office only to meet with a sight that sent him into bewilderment. Red was standing in the centre of his now large red and green colored office with was formerly immaculate white.She was wearing some cargo shorts and a white T-shirt.Her hands moving around directing the workers in overalls as she stood there.He looked around and the office was a mess, he saw his old furniture cast aside with the workers moving som
On a typical day Rose wouldn't be worried if her boss didn't return from lunch early but in this case she had to be bothered.Very bothered as Red was with him."Where did you say they went again?" She asked one of the workers."I do not know." The man shrugged, "I just saw her dragging him out while he was grunting.""Oh." Rose pursed her lips, "Is that so?""Maybe they went for lunch." He said, "Cause I saw them leave at lunch time.""Thank you Todd." She said to the man before walking into Daniel's office.Her eyes hurt at the appalling sight she saw.The colours were horrifying and all of Mr Daniel's nice furniture was gone.They were replaced with garish ugly furniture and she was sure when he set his eyes on them she was very sure he would push Red of a cliff. She
The key made shackling noises as it was being twisted in the key hole and the rest of the bunch hit the iron bars."Out you go." The man in uniform said to Red, "Hurry up." He hit the baton on the bars.Red stood up and sluggishly dragged herself towards the entrance of the cell.She got there and stretched out her hands for the police officer to place the cuffs on her hands.He did that, got her out, closed the cell before leading her to the front desk. She was devastated that Daniel actually did that to her. It dawned on her after some hours of waiting that he purposely didn't bail her out and what Rose had told her was a lie.He did it to punish her on purpose.She wasn't angry, she was hurt.Maybe she was a little mad at him but the hurt filled in the anger."She dropped this for
Kim didn't know if to laugh at her brother or feel sorry for him as she watched him narrate his trials with Red as he had called it.She listened attentively to his complains while giving him pitiful nods and stifling her laughter at the same time.And when she heard Red had purchased an apartment for herself she couldn't hold the chuckles in anymore.She erupted into loud giggles."What's funny?" Daniel frowned, "Are you laughing at my plight?" He reached down to pick a nacho from the plate on the centre table.Kim watched him as she laughed chewing the piece in his mouth. They were in his apartment where he was safe from Red as he thought."I can't wait to meet this Red." She said, "She sounds like someone I would like.""She's a thief Kim.""A repentant thief who manages to g
It was nine AM and Daniel figured out that it was too early to scream.It was freaking too early and he had a client here.An important one.But he wouldn't need to scream if everything was done right.He thinned his lips and tapped his fingers on the table, his patience thinning."Mr Daniel." The red head man in front of him said."Yes." He answered him."Is everything alright?" The man asked."Yes of course." He smiled, "Everything is alright." He couldn't tell the man he was about to kill someone and he also couldn't tell the man that he had began to hate him as he was a red head just like Red and now that Red's ridiculous dye has washed off from her hair, he couldn't help seeing the man as Red in front of him when he saw that hair colour.Daniel wasn't sure for how long h
Sirens. Those were the voices he thought he heard in his head.Not the captivating sirens in Greek mythology.These were the worse versions of them with ugly voices.The sounds were taking a toll on him.He wanted to break free but each time he tried opening his eyes, they never did but he kept struggling.The more the voices sounded closer, the more he was determined to break free of his present state.He struggled more and tried. Eventually, his eyes began opening but his vision was blurry, the terrible voice was closer now as he realised that there were no longer voices but one voice.He tried to see past his blurry eyesight but could only make it that he was in a white room and there w
Daniel groaned as he inspected his bandaged leg which was as a result of Red throwing him down the hospital stairs.The pain was excruciating.And he despised that he couldn't get out of bed and go about his workaholic life.The white cast had written all over it "Get well soon, with hate from Red" He shook his head and turned to glare at his maid whom had let her in while he was asleep."I don't want to scream at you." He told the woman even when he wanted to yell."I am sorry." The woman apologised bending slightly."Why did you let her in?""She was actually quite..." She didn't finish her statement."Quite what Clara?" He glared at her."Quite..." She scratched her hair which was tied up in a rough bun, "I don't know the word to use sir.""Really?""You know when someone is all tough
"How did you find me?" Red watched her skeptically still not believing that she was Daniel's sister.Kim removed her baseball hat and sat on a sofa in the living room."Oh yeah! Make yourself comfortable!" Red said with sarcasm also taking a seat herself.Kim laughed, "It's my brother's money remember.""How did you find me?" She asked again, "And what's up with the watch?""Finding you was easy, just like my brother I also have that power." Kim explained, "But for why I want you to destroy the watch, I can't tell you, it's not my story to tell."Red looked at her as she spoke, destroy that watch? It was worth millions."I can't destroy it." She shook her head."Why not?" Kim asked, "Afraid of what Daniel would do?" A smirk grew on her lips."Fuck no!" Red frowned, "I am not afraid of anyone.""The why don'

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
