Daniel's P.O.V 'I have lost her. Lost my talented Eleanor. What could have the future been if only if it was me. If only I would have died instead of her. If only it was me that her father cursed. If only I was the center of hatred of K-'K...The name was scratched. I held the journal close to my eye trying to figure out the name etched on paper. However, nothing. I couldn't figure it out.That was the last page. The last page of the journal. I needed the continuation of it. If I had to save Eleanor, I had to find answers that are running wild in my head.Why would Eleanor's father curse her? And, who is this K?"Danielle..." Eleanor's weak voice entered my ears as I snapped the journal shut, placing it on the nightstand as my eyes turned to my pretty wife who had finally decided to wake up after fainting on our daughter's birthday ball. A sigh passed my lips as I stood up from the chair, glancing down at my wife who was staring at the ceiling with eyes that seemed lifeless."Fl

Keira's P.O.VBlood.My eyes lingered at the white marble stained red as I heaved trying to take in oxygen, sitting in the center of a gigantic purple circle that I used earlier for my purpose of dark magic."My Lady! Please stop! You are putting your life on line." Celeste, my friend and the daughter of my handmaid cried as she got up from her chair and rushed to me."Stop! I'm fine! Don't enter the circle. I already told you to leave, Este." I spoke as I placed my hand over my chest, spitting out the leftover blood in my mouth. "Can't you please. Just stop, maybe? Daniel doesn't even love you for goodness sake. You are eating away at your living years for him trying to harm Eleanor using black magic that he would come back to you. But, Duchess... His Majesty doesn't even care if you are alive or dead. On the other hand, everyone in this household does care. Why don't you just let got of him!?" I looked up at Celeste with weary eyes, the pain of my actions etched into every line on

Daniel's P.O.V I stared at woman sleeping peacefully in my arms with a peaceful smile on her face. And, somehow it was bringing me so much happiness I couldn't explain. I think being a normal couple like this, isn't so bad after all.Her flower like smell that filled my nose was rather enchanting. And, the way she was sleeping in my arms was making me want to eat my wife alive.Come on, Daniel. We don't have time for R18 now! My subconsciousness scolded me as I gently placed flower's head on the soft pillow, getting up from the bed.Ugh! Can't I just sleep tonight in her arms. She never let me does that recently. And, she just looked so relaxed and laid back like the Eleanor I first met in the black woods. I answered to my subconsciousness, pulling the sheets over my lovely wife and tucking her in, gently kissing her forehead. Well, if you didn't have to figure out about her father's curse and the black magic stuff. Maybe, you could do that. My subconsciousness retorted as an audib

Eleanor's P.O.V "Are you okay? You're shaking." Daniel spoke as I nodded my head frivolously, hoping he didn't see the past Eleanor disappearing.Well, maybe he'll figure if you act anymore suspicious. You know? My subconsciousness spoke as I gulped down at my own saliva.He won't. I won't let him. "Daniel?" I called out as I stared at Daniel placing down the coffee mug at the night table beside bed before turning to look at me."Yes, flower?" "Would you mind if we spent some quality time together?" I asked as I tucked a strand of hair behind my right ear, staring at him with eyes so innocent that even a child would shy away."Funny. I was thinking the same." A smile grew across Daniel's face as he sat on the edge of the bed gently taking my hand in his as if I were some delicate flower that would fall apart from a single touch. "I would love to spend some quality time with my lovely wife without having any interruption from anyone," he replied.Well, with how calm he is. There's n

Eleanor's P.O.V I placed the fair lights in the box as I closed it. Finally done cleaning up. Phew!I wiped off the imaginary sweat off my forehead as my mind took me back to the kiss with Daniel. "I'm so sorry." Daniel apologized for the fifth time as he had to leave early from our date for some reason. "It's okay. We can always have a date another time. You should take care of your work first."I reassured him with a smile, trying to hide my disappointment. Deep down, I couldn't help but wonder if he really had some very important work or if he was just losing interest in me. But I didn't want to jump to conclusions. After all, we were finally behaving like a normal couple after so many misunderstandings.Yes. It was just my insecurities. Why would Daniel lie about having work? I'm just being paranoid. Yeah! That was it."Hey! What's the matter flower? You look lost." Daniel spoke in a soft tone as he stared directly into my eyes. "Nothing. What would be the matter? I'll just
