"I grew up at an orphanage, neither knowing my parents or roots." She began her tale while her head rested on Daniel's shoulder.
He stroked her hair lovingly.
"They didn't even know who had dropped me off." She added.
"So..." Daniel cut in, "You have no idea who your parents are or where you came from?" He asked stroking her hair.
Red hesitated a bit before answering, "I have got no idea who they are nor where I came from." She said, "I was mute growing up, not born mute but it was selective muteness."
"What do you mean?" He questioned.
"I was always withdrawn not talking to anyone cause I didn't like the kids there at the foster home they bullied me a lot." She heard Daniel's sharp intake of breath indicating anger, "I was always sick, my hair falling out and all. That was what the kids bullied me for especially when I became completely bald it got worse." She sighed, "Ev

"He's alive!" The older man at the end of the phone growled and She flinched, "Why the fuck can't you do just one thing right?"She didn't have an answer to give nor an explanation on how a very well plotted assassination had failed.It took them months to get this far but it all came crumbling down with that one mistake."Why the fuck aren't you talking idiot?!" The man yelled this time. Her hand holding up the phone was still shaking."Just give us time sir." Her voice trembled, "We would fix it.""I have eyes watching you." She looked around frantically observing the pitch dark room she was in with only a single ray of light coming from the broken part in the door.He couldn't possibly see me now, she thought, can he?"I don't give second chances." He said before swearing at her in Italian, "Where is that stupid husband of yours?"

Bloody murder! Daniel wanted to scream but he had to control himself but he was losing itAs he watched Red lying on the bed helplessly in deep sleep and as the doctor filled his ears with his diagnosis, he really wanted to scream with each passing moment.Poisoning! Poisoning! Bloody poisoning.Red had been poisoned as the doctor said and the only thing they had taken that morning was the pancakes he ordered for breakfast.He wanted to go back to the restaurant and let all hell break loose on them if they do not provide the miscreant who had done it but his mother had held him, pleaded and distracted him with talks of why didn't you tell me you had finally gotten a girlfriend."She would be okay right?" Mrs Hart asked the doctor while squeezing her son's hand, "Is it survivable?"

Red's mouth was wide agape immediately they drive through the tall silver metallic gates. She gazed in admiration at the green expanse of land with lots of masquerade and oak trees spread across the lands. The trees were mostly entwined with vines giving it a creepy old look. How much she loved that look.He continued driving smiling as he watched her marvel at the grand scenery, wait till the gets to the house, He chuckled."Are you a fucking prince?!" Her voice came out as a yell immediately the manor was in view as they had gotten to a section where the trees were sparse and the land was mowed .The house was sitting there majestically in all its glory.It reminded her of a modern medieval castle. A mini castle tho, the type a duke or duchess would own.

"I grew up in Greece." Daniel began as he laid more comfortably on the bed with his hands neatly placed behind his head, "It was Greece." He repeated again.Red did the same but with her hands around his torso and head tucked in the crook of his neck, "Greece?" She wondered, "That's new and unexpected.""Well..." He said, "Maybe some day I would take you there." He suggested with a smile."That would be lovely." She stated, "Is Mr Daniel Hart being romantic?"He rolled his eyes, "When was I ever never romantic?""You do not want me to get started on that." She jabbed his chest a bit in a playful gesture, "Continue your story.""Greece was lovely and peaceful." He continued his tale, "I loved it a lot. I loved the place I still do. I had friends I grew up with back then, mum was always around." He held her hand and began to stroke it as if it would calm him down from some built up tension, "Dad always came home early and with goodies too. I w

Dane knocked at the door again hoping Red would answer this time. He was tired of standing outside and waiting. He had been waiting for so long.He knocked again and then again.Still no answer, heaving a sigh he turned to leave the place when the door clicked open. He turned back to see a tired looking Red peeking out behind the door.Red's messy face stared at him. Some hair strands were on her forehead which wrinkled in a frown, her face was sweaty with drooping eyes and evident bags under."What do you want?" She sighed, "Don't stare at me like that.""If there was a representation of a mess, you would be it." Dane tried to make a joke but Red frowned more, it didn't work, "I came to talk, you have been MIA." He said seeing his attempts at

The continuous tone of the phone ringing irritated the hell out of Dane. He ignored it like he had done for the first few times and nestled into the bed.But the caller wasn't ready to let Dane be, he called repeatedly and so with curses flying out of his mouth, he turned, took the phone and picked the call without checking who it was."Who the hell are you from the pits of hell, curse you! It better be fucking important or I will pull out your fucking eyeballs and feed them to you!" He yelled."When I die take care of my mother, don't knock my sister up without taking her to the alter or my ghost would hunt you and the most important of all, do not fucking touch my Ferrari!" Daniel growled, "Good morning to you too.""Why are you talking about death?" Dane yawned, "Why did you call this early? It's fucking 7:00AM.""Red asked me to teach her how to

"Remember." He breathed, "Slow and steady."Red angrily brought the car to a halt, "You are distracting me!" She growled, "Be shut!"How can I be shut when my life is in your hands? He wanted to tell her but instead he actually kept shut.Red gripped the wheels again tightly with both hands, she put the gear back in reverse and peddled the accelerator gently while focusing her gaze on the side mirror. Daniel smiled as he watched her intently. She looked cute driving and he would have allowed her do it often if his life wouldn't be on the line all the time.He was amused at the ways her lips were folded as she tried her best to control the automobile machine.A sudden halt stole him from his thoughts."Why did you stop Red?" He asked blinking, "You were getting it."

Red threw the mascara on the table already really frustrated with the whole make up thingy.This was the first time she ever really bothered with such things. she wanted to look really good for her first date with Daniel and she was terribly bad at make up.Okay, bad would be an understatement.She picked up the mascara and tried again, bringing the gooey wand closer to her lashes, she tried not to blink.She brought it closer and closer, it got to the perfect position. She tried swiping her upper lash but ended up blinking in the process and staining her face.Fuck! She swore under her breath and threw the mascara on the table again.From the corner she heard Sarah giggle."What the hell is funny?" She turned to face her friend angrily, "Why are you laughing?" &n
