Eleanor's P.O.V Silence. There was dead silence in the carriage. As I helplessly stared at him but he preferred staring outside. I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me. I had expected conversation, blaming, being angry anything but this uncomfortable silence.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves, and spoke up. "Daniel?" It wasn't my lips that called out for me but my very guilty soul. He was hurt. And, somewhere deep down I knew the reason. He turned to look at me, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and frustration. "Don't Eleanor. I'm not thinking straight, right now. And, I don't want our relationship to take a worse turn that it already has taken. So, please. Let me be right now." His eyes were burning or maybe it was his soul that was burning behind that glossy glass frame. I swallowed a lump in my throat as I nodded and hung my head low, not being able to find words to contradict. Words to ask him what was running behind his head.Words
Daniel's P.O.V I don't know how what to feel. What to say. What to do. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's all empty. Or maybe, way too much. I don't know. I don't know what it was supposed to be. How it was supposed to be. Who I was supposed to be.All I was feeling right now was like a void which was filled to the brim and still just couldn't. Couldn't take anymore. But, still couldn't let it go.Couldn't let her go.Somewhere within me there was a voice saying that it didn't matter. Nothing was going to change between us. She had a reason to hide about Danielle's truth. Maybe, she was afraid that I would be hurt. Maybe, she was afraid that I would be angry and take some missteps. But, that voice was gone way too far. Buried way too deep. And, maybe perhaps even destructed by the void's pressure on its surface. But, what wasn't destroyed was the anger, the fear, the insecurity which I kept safe in that same void's nebula. The center. Trying to hide it as far. As deep as possible.
Eleanor's P.O.V I followed him like a lost puppy chasing his master while he never turned around to look how I was practically running to keep up with him.Finally, after what felt like an eternity of running, we reached in front of our room. He stopped abruptly and turned to face me. His piercing electric black eyes bore into mine as he finally opened his mouth and spoke."Eleanor, get in." His words seemed to have been a puppeteer's commands to a puppet. As I followed him in without a second thought. A second thought about the shit that was about to happen.Once inside, he locked the door behind us and turned to me again. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes held a kind of darkness that I couldn't quite place."Stand in that corner." Daniel's orders came yet again as I walked to the place he pointed and that's when it started. Crash!My entire body flinched as Daniel smashed a glass piece shattering it into a million pieces to the ground. His eyes were filled with rage as h

Daniel's P.O.V She fainted.Eleanor fainted right into my arms as everything around us remained ruined. My room remained ruined. I held her close, feeling the warmth of her body against mine. Her breathing was shallow and her skin was cold to the touch. Her feet left red stains on the white marbled floor. She's still alive. My trembling hands tapped her cheeks lightly as I called out her name over and over again. "El? Flower? Eleanor?"Panic coursed through my veins instead of blood as I tried to revive her, but she remained unresponsive. I knew I had to act fast. I quickly walked outside carrying her fragile frame in my trembling arms. My brain had gone numb. I couldn't think anything except that one sentence.She's in this state because of you, Daniel. I ran over to the Queen's palace, shouting at the servants on my way there to get the Royal doctor. The palace was stirred upside down on my way to the silent surroundings of the Queen's place. Once we arrived, the Royal doctor
Daniel's P.O.V As the night wore on, the sky gradually began to lighten, and I watched the first rays of sunlight streaming through the windows. It felt like an eternity before Eleanor finally stirred, her eyes fluttering open to show the bright blue sparkling eyes that held me captive. "Daniel?" she whispered weakly, confusion etched across her features.As I stared at her, lost.Weak. That's what her entire delicate frame screamed to me. Scared. That's what I was wondering if the plan I worked out in my head would actually work or not.Tears purposely leaked from my eyes as I leaned in and hugged her weak body tightly. "God, Eleanor, I thought I had lost you," I whispered, my voice choked with emotions that genuinely were worried about her after I had hit her.After crying all my emotions as I drained them to let my calculating self breathe once again. I rubbed her back as I finally began my plan. The plan to guilt trip her. The plan to bind her by my side."I'm sorry, Eleanor. I'
Eleanor's P.O.V I stared at Daniel's face as he brought a spoon of porridge near my face before speaking,"The Doctor has said you've fractured your finger bones. I'll help you with things till then. He said he's giving you the best medicine in entire of Eleneas. So, I expect your recovery in a week. And, open your mouth now."I reluctantly opened my mouth and allowed him to feed me the porridge. My mind was still trying to process everything that had happened in the last few days. Our marriage, Danielle and just everything revolving around us.As I swallowed the chewed food down my throat, I held his hand staring at him with conflict in my eyes. His confused eyes traced from my hand to my face."What is it, Eleanor?" he asked, concern etched on his features.I took a deep breath before speaking softly, "Daniel, I just need some time to process everything that's happened. And, you must also have to talk to the nobles."Daniel nodded slowly, understanding evident in his eyes. "Of cou
Daniel's P.O.V I watched her fade into her sleep as soon as she closed her eyes. Guess, the medicine was doing its job. I couldn't help but feel grateful for the medicine that was provided to make Eleanor fall deep in sleep. Without it, watching her suffer from the pain and guilt I was giving her to bear would have been unbearable.I leaned back in my chair and let out a deep sigh, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling in my bones. It had been a long day of taking care of her, making sure she was comfortable and had everything she needed while my plan to brainwash her wasn't being affected in any way.I glanced over at her, taking in her peaceful expression as she slept. She was so beautiful, even in her weakest moments.I couldn't imagine my life without her in it. She was my everything, and I would do anything to keep her by my side.Brushing a strand of hair away from her face, I whispered, "I love you, flower."I knew she couldn't hear me, but saying those words out loud gav
