Life lessons keep repeating till we learn from them. Some are harder than others, but one thing is for sure, everything has a cause & effect.
Freddie and Daisy are rocked by scandal and heartbreak as they try to fight the odds against them.
Will fa...
Looking out the window, Daisy let out a deep breath. The sky was overcast, you could almost feel the rain building up in the clouds.
"Ma'am, would you like a drink before take off?"
Daisy looked over at the young flight attendant who kindly smiled at her.
"I'd love a glass of water if that's ok" Daisy replied as she held two small white pills in her hand.
Looking over to Diana, who sat across the isle from her in their private jet, she worriedly noticed how much weight Di has lost and how broken she looked.
"Di?" Daisy said gently "I've got a sleeping pill for you, Freddie said it should help the flight go faster"
Diana extended her hand as she leaned over "I'm happy to take anything to escape this hell hole"
"Hey!" Daisy raises her voice jokingly "I'm taking you to Havana for 10 days! A little gratitude huh"
Diana forced a smile "I know, and I love you so much for it, lord knows I need a girls getaway"
****************
Freddie hurriedly grabbed his keys as he rushed to leave the house.
As the phone rang, he paused and cursed under his breath. Running back to the kitchen he picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Uh Freddie my friend, it's Alex, how are you?" Came the unwelcome reply.
Instantly tensing up Freddie clenched his jaw "I'm well Alex, I'm late for an interview so I need to make this quick"
"I see, I won't hold you, I need to speak to Daisy. I need her signature on some contracts" Alex explained.
Freddie was so consumed with Olivia's return and Rogers betrayal, that he had temporarily forgotten about Alex and Daisy's business union.
"I'm afraid you've just missed her Alex, she's on her way to Havana for ten days"
Alex smiled slowly to himself "Havana you say. Perhaps I could FedEx her the contracts, any idea where she's staying?"
"The Hotel Melina" Freddie's reply was blunt and annoyed.
"Thank you my friend, I'll let you go"
Alex hung the receiver up and rubbed his chin. Viktor looked up from his book and removed his glasses "What is it?"
"Daisy has left" Alex slowly replied.
Viktor's eyes widened "she's left Freddie?!"
Alex looked at Viktor triumphantly "no of course not, she's in Havana for ten days. Organise the jet, we're going to Cuba"
"For what?" Viktor's question although innocent aggravated Alex.
"For what? To see her you fool! I am assuming that article about the actress and Freddie has hit a nerve, she's at a weak state now....easy to seduce"

The girls awoke to the plane landing in beautiful sunny Cuba. The sight of sunshine through the windows put a smile on both their faces as they looked to eachother.
"Look out Havana! The Brits are here!" Diana called our happily for the first time in what seemed like forever, while throwing her arms up in the air.
Daisy laughed at her friends enthusiasm and was relieved to see a glimpse of her former self.
A short luxurious car ride later, compliments of Freddie, Daisy and Diana arrived at the Hotel Melina, a stunning building which had been restored to a palatial appearance.
Instantly, a welcoming and friendly man with a stocky and professional appearance, rushed to the car door as it stopped at the front of the hotel.
"Ladies, welcome to Cuba! I am Juan Iglesias the hotel manager " He opened his arms wide in a welcoming gesture.
"Thank you, it's wonderful to be here finally" Daisy replied kindly.
"I would like to invite you both to an event we are holding at the hotel this evening, it's for charity and it would be an honour to have you both attend" his hopeful smile and their lack of plans for the night, made the offer impossible for refuse.
*************
After unpacking and showering, the girls settled in their rooms.
Diana glimpsed herself in the mirror and immediately regretted the reflection. Having lost a significant amount of weight, and gaining deep circles under her eyes, the demon inside her head began to rear its ugly head "no wonder he cheated, look at you"
Quickly turning away from herself, she walked towards the bar fridge and with determination, she began to pour the content of every bottle of alcohol into a tall glass, and drank it down fast.
As the numbing effects began to take their place, she rummaged through her suitcase, and pulled a short, silk red dress out.
Gathering her courage, she eyed it off and wondered if she had the balls to wear it out "fuck it" she mumbled to herself before slipping it on.
Pleased with her appearance, she began applying her make-up expertly, while briefly glancing at the clock. With only 5 minutes left before she was due to meet Daisy at her room, she tussled her hair, found her favourite heels and headed out the door feeling sexy and a little tipsy.
***********
Freddie was painfully exhausted and had no desire to go out to a club for a "boys night".
He was missing Daisy terribly and wanted to sleep through her absence.
Throwing himself on the couch, he began to drift off before the doorbell rang loudly startling him back awake.
Knowing it was Brian, he stumbled to his feet and lazily opened the door.
Unimpressed, Brian raised his brows and crossed his arms at Freddie's lack of enthusiasm, and casual appearance "you're coming!" He said before Freddie had a chance to protest.
"I can't be fucked Bri" Freddie complained with a painful tone.
"Throw on a jacket, you're coming. You can't be so pussy whipped that you can't function when she's not around" Brian knew that the mention of Freddie being whipped, would be exactly what he needed to hear to get him out of the house.
"You're a grade-A cock!" Freddie said while reaching past Brian to grab his jacket.
Brian smiled a toothy grin and gave a thumbs up "love you too mate"
