The best laid plans sometimes go awry.... All Saira Anderson wants is to graduate from university with honors, get a good job, get married and have a family with her loving boyfriend Daniel Davis but all her plans fall through when she crosses paths with his step brother Ethan Delnoi, who is every girl's dream guy except hers... until he starts to be. Disconcerted by the strange bond between them, they try to resist each other but fail and decide to throw caution to the wind much to the chagrin of Ethan's ex girlfriend Darina, Saira's heartbroken boyfriend and an obsessed roommate of Saira's who vows to never let them get their happy ending.
View More"Ethan!" Saira cried."Now your turn." Daniel stood over her with the gun pointed at her head. "My love for you has turned to poison, Saira. I'm sorry, but I have to do this." Then he pulled the trigger, but the bullet wasn't discharged and she watched in shock as Daniel fell to his knees with a bullet lodged in his head and he slumped to the floor beside Ethan."Not on my watch." A female voice remarked from the doorway.Saira looked up with wide eyes at Ethan's mother who was still pointing the gun at Daniel as she walked into the room as if she wanted to shoot him again."Mom?" Saira croaked out. "How did you...What are you doing here?""I called her when the police were taking too long. She got here faster than they did." Harry walked into the room. "I'm beginning to think you were a car racer in your previous life, Mrs Delnoi."Eileen chuckled. "Ethan's father taught me." She knelt beside Ethan. "Oh, my poor baby.""We should take him to the hospital." Saira's voice was hoarse fr
A week laterEthan"Are you sure you want to do this without involving the police?" Harry asked me as we sat in the car a few distance from the house where Daniel kept Saira. "I mean...""I want to do this myself, Harry." I cut him off. "He won't get away with this."I'd contacted Uriel Yamaguchi alright, and he'd promised to help me out. He knew everything one could possibly know about hacking computers and was also a professional hyper realistic mask creator. He'd been able to hack into Daniel's phone and computer and even his car and had gotten me all the information I needed to find Saira. I'd wanted to come and save her the same day, but I'd decided to wait and make a plan so everything would go smoothly.I reached out to carry the box on the back seat and dropped it on the console between our seats then looked at Harry."I'm going in." I told him."I'll come with." He said. "You can't tell me not to come with you. He'd probably have more than enough men guarding her, now that h
Three days later "What did you do?!" Saira cried immediately Daniel came into her room. "What did you do?!""You killed him." Daniel shrugged."Excuse me?" She was dumbfounded."You said you'd rather die than be with me. You said you wanted to be with him and not me, so I thought I'd just make it easier for the judge by judging him myself." He replied flippantly. "You kill using a gun... so, one must die by the same weapon.""Where did you put him? No one can find him." She said through gritted teeth.After the shooting, the men had gone to look for Ethan to finish him off finally, but they couldn't find him. He'd just... disappeared. They'd set the house on fire thinking that if he'd survived the rain of bullets, then he wouldn't survive the fire. "He was probably hit so he went to hide somewhere to die alone." Daniel said. "Now you can be with me forever.""Over my dead body. You have killed my son and husband. I have nothing else to live for." Saira sobbed."I would never harm an
"Actually no." She said flatly.His smile dimmed and she smirked smugly back at him, happy she'd stolen his thunder."I already knew." She shrugged. "Darina loves Ethan too much, so it's out of the question that she'll want him to plead guilty in court. Lucian doesn't have anything to gain by kidnapping me, so I figured that you would be behind it." She waved her hands in the air. "It wasn't rocket science.""Very well." He breathed. "Then you must know the condition I set for him.""Ethan would never do that." She scoffed. "It seems you don't know him.""I know he loves you very much and he'd do anything for you." Daniel smirked."You're asking him to throw his life away!" She yelled."Pssh. I'm sure he'll get a lesser sentence." He shook his head. "His dear mother wouldn't let him go down like that.""And this is how you want to repay the woman who opened her arms to welcome you? The woman who treated you like her son when your own biological mother abandoned you?" Saira questioned.
"No!" Saira cried. "Pay him no mind Ethan!""Do that or you'll never see your wife again." The leader said and disconnected the call, shut the laptop and tucked it under his arm. "Better pray he loves you enough to do that." He turned and walked out.Saira was pissed off at the turn of events, but there was nothing she could do. She was tired of going through the same motions over and over again and wanted to end it all, but the thought of never seeing Ethan or her son again prevented her from doing that. What was more annoying was the fact that she didn't even know the person behind her kidnap even though everything within her was screaming Darina's name, but then... She was much too in love with Ethan to want him to go to jail for life.Lucian Chamberlain? He had nothing to gain from doing this, so he was also ruled out and the third option was Daniel."Bastard." Saira hissed. "I'm going to kill him when I see him. I swear it." She clenched her fists in anger.There was no doubt no
"Sir, Mrs Anderson is here to see you." Adelaide informed Ethan.Ethan looked up from his laptop in surprise. "Saira's mom?""Yes sir." Addy nods."She's here with my wife?" He rose to his feet."She's here alone sir, and she looks very mad." Addy winced."Right." He sighed. "Is DJ asleep?""Out for the count." She smiled."Good." He said and left.He got downstairs and met Jesselyn sitting on a single wingback chair in the hallway. She hadn't even bothered to go to the sitting room to wait. He took a deep breath as she stood up when she saw him and from the furious look in her eyes, he knew something was up with Saira."Good morning, ma'am." He greeted."There's nothing good about this morning if your face is the first thing I have to see." Lyn said. "Where's my daughter?"Ethan's brows furrowed in confusion. "Your daughter? I don't know where she is." He replied. "Did she run away from home?""No you bastard!" She yelled. "Where the hell is my daughter?!""I don't know. I've not see
A few days later"What are you doing here?" Saira glowered at Daniel immediately he stepped into the sitting room. "Who let you in?""Your Mom. How are you doing sweetheart?" He walked around the sofa and bent his head to kiss her, but got a slap in the face for his effort. "Why did you do that?" He rubbed his cheek."You tried to kiss me. Should I have let you?" Her voice dripped with sarcasm.Daniel glowered at her and took a seat on the table in front of her. "How are you doing?""I'm fine. Thanks for asking, but it's none of your business." She snapped."Anything that concerns you is my business." He reached out to hold her hand, but she withdrew her hand and folded them across her chest. "You don't look fine to me, Saira.""Please leave me alone, Daniel.""Is this because of Ethan? Your mom told me you've refused to eat." Daniel said. "If you kill yourself because of love, Ethan Delnoi will continue to live on and find love again.""Don't talk rubbish." She spat. "You don't know
"I can't believe that girl had the guts to kidnap Saira." Kaisha remarked as she watched the news on TV. It'd been a week since the incident but news stations still reported the news like it happened yesterday, and why? Ethan Delnoi had been arrested by the police for murder.The Lawsons were very adamant in having him arrested, but they had no power like the Delnois. Not even close and sure enough, Ethan was bailed out that same day by his mother's lawyers."She got killed for it, so it was her loss." Darina said. "She didn't even get to finish what she started." She clicked her tongue in distaste. "Stupid girl.""So are you still going ahead with the plan?" Kaisha inquired. "For the video tape?""I was going to, but after the stunt this foolish girl pulled with Ethan... I'm dropping it." Darina said. "I'd rather not see my head hanging on his wall as a prize, thank you very much.""I pity Ethan though." Kaisha mused. "The guy's not had a break since he started dating that Saira and
Ethan paced to and fro in the waiting room with his hands clasped together in prayer. Saira had lost a lot of blood from her injuries and though he'd donated some of his for her but, it still wasn't enough.Harry had been checked for injuries but he didn't sustain any except a deep cut on his cheek which had been cleaned and taken care of."She'll be fine dude. She's strong." Harry croaked out."You should really go home and rest, Harry." Ethan told him."And leave you here? No way." Harry shook his head. "That bitch would've killed us if you hadn't come in when you did. I owe you my life, bro."The door to the waiting room opened and Eileen rushed in with Eugene, and surprisingly, Harry's mom."Mom?" Harry was shocked to see her. "How did you...""It doesn't matter." His mother, Dorathy shook her head, pulling him close. "All that matters is that you're fine." She pulled back and looked at Ethan. "I want the name or names of the people who did this.""Name. Anne Lawson." Harry said.
The kingdoms of Ubanda and Zazu had been enemies for as long as Princess Azuka could remember but the reason for this enmity was long forgotten. Zazu and Ubanda were both powerful kingdoms and were unfortunately next door neighbors as well, which was why they always fought one war or the other trying to defeat each other but to no avail. It all came to a head when a hunter strayed far from Zazu and accidentally killed an animal on Ubanda land and he was killed for it. The king of Zazu heard of this and ordered for the attack on Ubanda land with his only daughter Princess Azuka who was the most feared warrior in the land to lead them but before they were set to leave, the priestess of Zazu arrived at the palace with a news that almost made the king change his mind about sending them off to war. "Your highness, if you go to fight this war... I'm afraid that you'll lose." The priestess informed her. "Lose? I never lose a fight!" Azuka hissed through clenched teeth. "I've been trai...
