Kaden: Get the car ready.
Man 1: Si, Patron.
He said and bowed while leaving.
Kaden: Della?
Della: I am ready, dude, stop yelling.
Kaden: You look nice.
Della: Oo... I know I do. You will not forget my pretty face anytime soon.
Stupid heart stop jumping. He compliments all women. You are not special. I'm very exited he's taking me out that I didn't even bother asking where we are going. Who cares, eh? If someone asks me where I was the few last days, and I start with the details they could write a book, man. If this is not craziness, then I am not sure what it is. Let the adventure begin.
Della: Do you own a yacht??
Kaden: Get a tan, I have some work to do.
Della: Before you go, can I ask you a favor?
Kaden: Mm...…
Della: I want to hear my brother's voice. Let me speak with him, at least once.
Kaden: I will make the arrangements so you can see him.
Della: Really??!
Do not say it! Do not say it!
Della: You are nice for a kidnapper.
Kaden: Mm...
Fuck. My. Life! Idiot! I am an idiot with a capital I.
Della: Kaden?
Kaden: Mm?
Della: I'll help you. I will convince my father to return to Spain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Kaden's Yacht;
Antonio: If you sign the papers with the Italians, then the shares drop to 25%. They want to be your partners and get a fair share of the profits each time a ship crosses Italy. Greedy bastards. The advice I can give is: Do not get involved, your business is doing well. Why complicate things when you already own England and Spain? Kaden?
Kaden: She is wild, I agree.
Antonio: I wasn't speaking about Della, can you focus for God's sake?
Kaden: No. Antonio, the business can wait.
Antonio: She can wait, we're running out of time.
Kaden: She knows she is free to go. It will only be a few days until she wants to go back home. So, yeah, business can wait, man.
Antonio: She will destroy him.
Della: Done already?
Kaden: Yeah, all done.
Della: Can you tell them to leave?
Kaden: Are they bothering you?
Della: No, this bra is uncomfortable, I want to take it off.
Kaden: Antonio?
Antonio: Sir?
Kaden: Send everyone back.
Antonio: Sir, we are here for your protection.
Kaden: Do not make me repeat myself.
Antonio: Yes, jefe.
Della: You know I was kidding, right?
Kaden: It doesn't matter.
Della: Oh.... You, me and a yacht. Romantic.
Kaden: You don't do romantic shit.
Della: Neither do you, yet here we are.
Kaden: Come here.
Della: Lets get some things straight.
Kaden: Relax, I'm just enjoying your company. I live in world without feelings, Del.
Della: I'm not an unfeeling monster, but I cant let you in my heart, Kaden. I have no room for love.
Kaden: I know, we don't have time for love. I like being around you, it feels good. Until you go back, let me spend time with you, Del. When you decide to go, you go. I wont stop you or follow you. I will set you free.
Della: When I decide to go back, you'll keep your part of the agreement without plans or high expectations regarding a relationship?
Kaden: Yes, we are business partners, nothing more.
Della: So if I kiss you right now, we are still business partners nothing else?
Kaden: Yes.
Della: If I decide to go back tomorrow, you'd let me?
Kaden: Yes.
Kaden grabs Della and kisses her roughly.
Kaden: Are you planning to go back tomorrow?

Miles
Fuck my life! She's gorgeous. I know I shouldn't think about her, all I see is her perfect face. Since her old man told me that she was kidnapped, I haven't stopped working. I will kill that stupid asshole myself if I have to! All I want is Della back home. I miss seeing her around, even if she mostly hangs out with my little brother, Tristian. Watching her from afar is the best sight my eyes will ever see.
Flashback
Tristian: Bro, this is Della, my beautiful best friend.
Miles: Ay, she is beautiful indeed.
Della: I heard you work at the same law firm as my Dad.
Miles: Guilty as charged.
Della: Mate, I feel sorry for you.
'Fuck! Her smile is adorable.' Miles thought.
Miles: What are you guys up to?
Tristian: She is about to photograph my pretty face. Darn. I forgot something in my car, be right back.
Della: Be quick, I don't have all day.
Miles: Are you into photography?
Della: I'm into anything that makes money.
Miles: Funny.
Della: Maybe. Is this your place?
Miles: Not for long.
Della: Are you planning to move?
Miles: Kind of.
Della: Don't sell it, I'm interested in paying rent to get my hands on it.
Miles: No rent for beautiful girls like you.
Della: You'll be sorry because I might accept your offer. Miles, do not be a softy. In this cruel world, good souls don't end up in heaven.
Miles: I'm ready to prove your theory.
Della: Good then, I'll salute you from hell once I get there.
End of flashback
Love at first sight! She captured me like a voodoo spell. Since that day I couldn't get her out of my head. Once she is back, I will confess my love. I cant hold on to my feelings any longer. I need her in my life. She is my missing puzzle piece. Get a grip, Miles. She will reject you one second after. What if I don't give up. I know I can give her exactly what she needs. You do not rush something that you want to last forever.
Time. Time is something I do not have if I want her back unharmed!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiely: Mind-blowing! You are way too amazing in bed!
Dad: That's because I love you.
Kiely: I love you more.
Dad: There is an opportunity for us to be together.
Kiely: What are you talking about?
Dad: I might have to return to Spain. I want you to come with me.
Kiely: You'd leave everything behind to move to Spain with me??
Dad: Yes, I miss my old job, and I'm sick of hiding our relationship.
Kiely: Love, I'm twenty-five, people will call us a scandal.
Dad: Are you willing to take the risk?
Kiely: For you, I will do anything! You are good to me, love. I must admit that I'm frightened to death, but I love you. I'm also terrified of your wife. Hiding from the world is one thing, but facing it is another.
Dad: Don't worry, lean on my shoulder. I will take care of the rest.
Kiely: Promise?
Dad: Yes.
Kiely: What abut your children?
Dad: Della will take care of Finn. Venus is going to America.
Kiely: Della is a strong woman, yet she needs you. Finn is not her son.
Dad: It's complicated, honey. I'd love to take care of Finn instead of Della, but he cants stand anyone but Della and Jane. He rarely speaks with me. He ignores his mother. Venus sometimes spends time with him, but only when Finn wants to. Dells is different. She somehow knows what to do ad say around him. She knows when to give him time, when to start an activity and so on. I cant explain why he let Della in and shut the rest of the world out. As much as I want to take care of Finn, he wont let me near him. To him, Della is the most important person in the world. To Della, Finn is the entire world. Trust me, Della wont leave the house.
Kiely3: I'd say you need to have a heart to heart conversation with her. She's carrying a big responsibility when you should be the one caring for your children. She is only eighteen. It's not fair you wash your hands and let her do the hard work. She needs to build a life for herself in the first place. Help her first, then decide for yourself.
Dad: It's more complicated than you think. Della's pride is the size of England. I know she is up to something. That is why she is headstrong and refuses my help.
Kiely: Talk to her! She needs support and love. Do not leave Della alone when everyone else turns their back when she falls.

Della: Am I allowed champagne?
Kaden: Nope, sparkling water is all you get.
Della: One glass for one kiss.
Kaden: One glass of water, two kisses?
Della: Nope. Take it or leave it.
Kaden: You always know how to get your way.
Della: It's not my fault you are addicted to my kisses.
Kaden: I want more of you, Della.
Della: I'm not ready.
Kaden: Okay.
Della: Okay. Can we spend the night here?
Kaden: Yeah, we can. I'm not busy tonight. Come here.
He says while pulling her into another kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jose: Where is he? The prime minister is here! We need Kaden, but he is not answering his phone!!
Antonio: He hasn't returned from the river yet?
Jose: Clearly not! What do we do? He invited the prime minister for dinner when he bloody knew how important this night is for our business!
Victoria: The prime minister and his wife have arrived.
Jose: Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!!
Antonio: Jose, calm down and go upstairs change. I will buy you some time.
Jose: I will end him! He is a dead man!
He said while running to change.
Antonio: That girl, she's a bad influence in him.
Victoria: Shut up! Go, take care of the guests.
Antonio: Yes, my lady.
Victoria: Well! Hurry up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back home;
Venus: Any news from Della?
Mom: Your Dad is taking care of her, don't worry, sweetie.
Venus: I do worry, Mom! She went missing! You don't know if she is alright or not!
Mom: She is fine. Dad went to see her.
Venus: I don't understand.
Mom: Is just a matter of interest between two powerful people. She will be home very soon, unharmed.
Venus: How can you be so calm??
Mom: I trust you dad. He is working hard to bring her back. I spoke with her teachers today. They think Della is in Paris. Make sure you stick with the same story.
Venus: I cant believe you!! Why are you so calm when you don't know for sure is she is coming back or not?? Showing emotion is what normal humans do!
Mom: Shh, trust me, she is not in danger. Venus, my love, listen to me. You are my creation, Venus! You are the one who will bring pride to our family! Do not disappoint me! Della is out of control, she'll never do right for our family. Finn is out of the picture. You, my darling, you need to focus on your studies. Everything I do is for you. I want you to carry our family name with dignity and honor.
Venus: Mom, you are putting so much pressure on my shoulders. I'm still a teenager. Please let me breathe.
Mom: You don't have time to breathe, honey. You need to keep being the best in your class. I want you to shine, be responsible, speak when it is in your best interests. When you enter a room, I want everyone to focus on you. You are he only one that matters, honey. Remember, people around you are just pieces in a chess game. You make every move in your favor. No one can distract you from being perfect. everything you show to be the world has to be at the highest level. Make me proud, darling.
Venus: I'm not you, Mom. I do not want to be perfect.
Mom: Shh, you are too young to know what you want. That's why I'm always behind you to teach you right from wrong. Now go to sleep. Sleeping eight hours a night is the best thing you can do for your body. Ah, one more thing. Eating sweets is not healthy. You know that, right?
Venus: Yes, Mother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Della and Kaden
Della: Kaden, can I tell you a story?
Kaden: Hmmmm.....
Della: A beautiful girl named Venus grows up vain and spoiled. Once her other bought her a pair of red shoes fit for a princess. Venus is so enamored of her new shoes that she wears them to boring events, but her mother told her, 'It's highly improper and you must only wear white shoes at these events.' But Venus cannot resist putting the red shoes on again at one of the events. Her mother was so angry and ended up punishing the little girl. She now has to do whatever her mother says, if not the beautiful girl will have to give up her dreams to study America. My beautiful sister does not know my mother is not planning to send her America. She is only to accomplish her dreams. She wants Venus to mirror her, turn out exactly like she is. A beautiful wicked woman. The sad truth? By the time Venus needs to go to America, she will no longer want to go because my mother will transform her into a different person. Venus' soul will not fly on to heaven, like Karan's soul from the story " The Red Shoes" did.
Kaden: Fuck my life, Della! What kind of a mother do you have?
Della: The one you fear more than you love.
