“you can't run away, Daniel”. came the voice full of panic and concern.“ I am not running away, Nicolas", “yes you are! do you even know, the consequences of this”. “yes I do! that's why I am taking a break”. Nicolas took a last look at Daniel and said, “ at least tell me where are you going”. Daniel looked at him and replied, “I don't know right now, but I will inform you as soon as I will land anywhere in the world”. “ are you sure, about this?” asked Nicolas one last time trying to change his brother's mind. but Daniel was not in the mood for that he packed his bags and moved towards the exit of the Palace, which was mostly guarded but no one suspected anything as he headed out with an escape exit or the secret pathway only known to the royal family.

“you are early, Dan” a girl dressed in normal clothes but had the same noble manner as Daniel told him, Daniel carried his bags at the back of the car and replied,“ I know that Julia, I am late but you know Nicolas was trying to convince me again”. he shut the trunk and moved towards the doors of the car to enter.“ where to? do you know anything about that place?” Julia asked Daniel he looked ahead without looking at her and said,“ yeah I asked Markus about that, he told he could help me over there!”. Julia replied,“ is this the Markus who was here for the trade deal ?” “yeah, the very same” Daniel replied, Julia, nodded and drove towards the airport, “ how did you get out from the estate with the car?” Julia replied,“ nothing too much I told mother I was going for tea and took the car from the mansion, where usually no guards are placed”. “when will you be back?” Daniel replied,“ no idea, maybe after few months whenever I am ready”. “ yeah, but do you know what could happen to you,” Julia asked. “I know Julia it is hard, but it will be just like a vacation ”. nobody talked for a while and then, the car halted in front of the airport, and Daniel got out took his bags, and said,“ take care of yourself Julia, and also take care of Nicolas, while I am gone, will you?” Julia replied, “yes I will, but be sure to be back on time dan, I will miss you” and then Julia drove off. Daniel stood there for a while after he boarded the plane for an entirely different country where he had never been before. he never told Julia or Nicolas that he was going to a place where no one can find him. he packed all the things he required for the months he need to live there. or in other words, he wanted to live for. after a few hours, Daniel arrived in the heart of the city where he wished to spend a few months of his life free from every responsibility he had back home.

Daniel looked for a hotel to stay at, but not too luxurious to avoid any kind of suspicion. he got settled in a hotel that was not up to the royal standard but it was much better than many people could afford. Daniel dialed his brother's number and informed him about his whereabouts and also told him to pass the message to Julia. he took a long nap as he was tired from the flight. after that, in the evening he went to a high-class club to experience things which he never experienced back home. due to his status and all the other reason, he went inside and he saw an entirely different world that was never a part of his. he went inside and saw people dancing and drinking and he went towards the bar having drinks, and the bartender gave him a drink Daniel replied, “I didn't order this sir!” bartender gestured towards the end of the bar and he saw a silhouette of a woman sitting in the corner he took the drink and went towards her.

the other side:

“I can't believe that dad, could do this to me, he knew that condition is useless,” Celine said, “what are you gonna do about it?” Amy asked worriedly , “nothing that serious, just get away from them for a night and then think about it the next day, at least I can enjoy one night of freedom right?” Celine said, Amy looked at her friend, she knew how reckless and free Celine is. she can't be held down like ever. Celine took her designer handbag and headed towards the club to enjoy the last night of freedom. she craved and needed. Celine got seated at the VIP booth which was usually reserved for her always. there she saw him at the bar, the jet black hair, and a so good-looking man she offered him a drink. she knew what she wanted for that night she saw the expression on his face when he took the drink as if unaware of this. like it was all new for him, she saw him walking towards her and he was too gorgeous from close up.

Daniel asked,“ did you offer me this drink?” Celine replied by slowly nodding her head, he replied,“ thanks for that, and now I must leave.” Celine looked at him again and said,“ are you with someone?” he replied in negative she asked him to sit with her. they started talking a few drinks later they were laughing about something and they talked for a while, now they both were completely drunk they left the club together into the night as Celine promised Daniel to show around the city. they were chatting laughing and roaming around as if they didn't fear anything in this world. Celine asked him,“ where are you from?” he smiled and said,“ I am from a very far away land, my lady”. they laughed together and then he said,“ you are so beautiful” she looked at him.

“ouch, my head hurts,” said Daniel as soon as he woke up, he laid his head back on the headboard to rest and ease some pain before opening, his eyes and then he opened his eyes. he felt a limb on top of him with he looked at the face which the arm belonged to. it was the same lady back from the club, she looked so beautiful that Daniel looked at her for a few more minutes before he realized that she woke up too, with the same troubled look from before as Daniel. she rubbed her temples and then she looked at Daniel's face, looking concerned at her, she smiled at him and turned towards the nightstand to grab a glass of water. but she found out something else a marriage certificate with her name on it and Daniel's real name on it. she gasped and passed the certificate to Daniel a look of pure terror passed over his face. Celine looked at her hands and there she found some cheap ring and the same was with Daniel. she panicked and began dialing Amy's number. Daniel took her phone from her and hung up the call. she screamed at him, “why the hell did you do that?” he calmly said, “you can't speak about this to anyone, just get freshen up and we both forget about it you can go in your ways and I will go on mine”. she looked at him dead in the eye and said, “do you know who I am? the heir of one of the richest families in this country, you know what will happen if this gets out into the media”. Daniel looked at her shocked not because of her status but mostly about getting this in a media outlet. he looked at her and said,“ don't worry about it, we will not speak about this to anyone and you may be safe” Celine said, “still I need to call my lawyers and my management so that none of these leaks out, and what do you need I mean what amount of money do you need to never speak of this again”. Daniel looked at her in shock and took out his phone to look her up and meanwhile, Celine was calling Amy who was also a lawyer and explaining everything to her. Daniel looked at her worth and smiled to himself. and Celine watched him and said,“ just say the price” he looked at her and said, “nothing, you are free to go”. Celine looked at him in disbelief and then Amy said over the call,“leave from there and also we need to talk once you get back over here, just hope that media did not get the smell of this”. Daniel looked at her again concerned and asked her,“ I am willing to do whatever you want so that we can end this matter within ourselves just please make sure this don't get out with media”. Celine took a quick shower and gather her dress and wore it left after calling her driver. Daniel was worried he was terrified if this gets out in the media it will be the whole vulture thing with him, he can't manage a scandal like this.
