A week later

Saira sat in a corner in the library reading since that was all she ever did nowadays. Daniel was busy with his classes and she didn't have any friends. The only other person whom she'd clicked with and thought she could be friends with didn't want to be friends because he wanted to sleep with her and now he was treating her like she didn't exist. Well she didn't need his friendship either. He could shove it for all she cared.

Saira suddenly stiffened as the hair on the nape of her neck stood at attention and goosebumps appeared on her skin. She felt his presence before she looked up and saw him.

"Hey." Ethan greeted tentatively not knowing what her reaction would be. He'd ghosted her for a few days without any reason so if she shut him out as well then he'd deserve it.

Saira closed her book, deposited it inside her bag and stood up. She was not going to say a single word to him so he'd know how she felt.

"I'm sorry." He grabbed her forearm to stop her from leaving.

    Over the next few days, Ethan and Saira secretly met in the library every afternoon and one time she forgot she was supposed to meet Daniel for lunch in the cafeteria. She'd put her phone on silent in marketing class and hadn't remembered to put it back to ring and vibrate and by the time she remembered, she had to leave for her shift at the store. "How could I have forgotten?" She berated herself as she hurried to the store. "I hope Daniel's not mad at me. He's not picking his calls." She tried his number again and sighed in relief when he finally answered but he was upset. "I'm so so sorry babe. I got carried away reading in the library." She apologized and wondered at the back of her mind why she'd just lied to him. "You don't usually go to the library to read. Are you still mad because of what I did the last time?" He asked. The last time she had stayed in his room... well things almost got out of hand and she told him off, stormed out and didn't talk to him the next day. He a

    "Hey honey." Eileen bent and kissed Ethan's cheek as she joined him on the patio. She took a seat opposite him and crossed her legs. "Hey." Ethan looked up from his phone. "How did your video conference call with the Chinese go?" "Good." She smiled. "We're going to china to finalize the deal." "We?" He raised a brow. "You mean, you and Eugene, right?" "Of course not. Eugene is traveling to Montreal tomorrow so he can't go with me and besides the sooner you learn the ropes of the business, the faster I can retire from that too." Eileen smiled. "I can't go with you to China, Mom." Ethan frowned. "Why? You have exams coming up or what?" She inquired. "No, but... why don't you take Daniel instead?" "You're the one studying business administration in school, not Daniel." She said. "Besides, you're my son and everything I own along with your father will go to you." Ethan sighed. He figured she was right about that because everything would go to him after his mother retired so he ha

    "Uh... Mom, dad... I want you to meet my girlfriend, her name's Saira." Daniel introduced as they sat down to eat finally."So I finally get to meet my son's girlfriend. It's a pleasure finally meeting you in person Saira." Eugene smiled."Likewise sir." Saira said."What does your name mean?" Eileen asked. "It's a beautiful name.""Um... Princess ma'am." Saira replied. "It's Hebrew.""You're Jewish?" Her eyes widened."My mom is. My dad was from here." Saira said. "He's late." She quickly added before they could ask."I'm sorry to hear that." Eileen said. "What does your mother do for a living?""She's a manager at a restaurant. Virona restaurant.""Oh? We own the restaurant and several others in the country." Eileen said. "Your mother's Jesselyn Anderson right?""Yes ma'am." She smiled."I like her. She's hardworking and very honest." Eileen commented."Thank you ma'am." Saira smiled. She guessed her anxiety about not being liked by Daniel's stepmother had all been in her head. "It

    "You'll only be finished when I'm done with you." He told her jokingly."This is no time for jokes Ethan." She snapped. "If they find out that I came upstairs...""Relax." He caressed her arms. "The cameras weren't installed upstairs. The footage will only be of you coming up and nothing else.""Oh." She relaxed a bit. "I have to go then.""We have unfinished business." He leaned forward to kiss her.Saira placed her palm against his mouth. "I have a boyfriend.""Who is not supposed to be your boyfriend.""I love Daniel, Ethan and the sooner you realize that, the better it will be." She told him."If you loved him, you wouldn't have let me kiss you." He snapped.Saira flinched. "You took me by surprise!" She bristled."Bullshit. You wanted me to. I saw it in your eyes." He retorted. "So now you read people's eyes to know how they feel?" She sneered. "Should I call you Einstein now?""Don't push me Saira or you won't like what I'll do." He warned her."So... you're the type of man tha

    Two days later "Hey Saira!" Daniel called immediately he saw her come out of her professor's office. He didn't know why she had refused to pick his calls so he'd had no choice but to hunt her down.Saira stopped and turned to look at Daniel. "What?" She questioned in a surly voice.Daniel was taken aback by her brusque tone and moved closer to her. "I've been trying to reach you but to no avail. Did I do something wrong?" He asked softly.Saira knew it was silly of her to just ignore him without talking to him first but Ethan's continued absence from school was taking a serious toll on her mental health. It was like she was having withdrawal symptoms from a drug or something which was making her cranky."Who is Whitney from America?" She demanded."Whitney?" Daniel repeated looking confused then he remembered. "Oh! She's my cousin from America. Second cousin.""You didn't tell me about her." Saira accused."I guess it never came up? I'm sorry." He apologized. Saira huffed. She'd ask

    Ethan saw Daniel first before he noticed Saira who was trying to imitate the way her stupid boyfriend was dancing and failing miserably. She was dressed in a white strapless dress that reached her thighs and he could see the strings of her bikini top so he guessed that she'd worn the bikini but didn't have any intention of pulling her dress off. "Dude, it's your party. Why are you looking so dull?" George asked. "I've not seen one girl give you a lap dance or a blow job. You're not even drinking." "I'm fine. Just not in the mood." Ethan said. "That's not good." Harry said. "Are you falling sick or do you have a disease Ethan?" "What?" Ethan bristled. "What warranted that stupid question?" "Dude chill. Don't get your boxers in a twist. I was only kidding." Harry apologized. "But seriously bro, you're dull." George said. "Fine I'll dance." Ethan handed Harry his cup, grabbed a random girl and took her to the dance floor. Saira watched Ethan dance with the girl, watched the girl

    "Ethan..." She sighed.Ethan hovered over her and lifted her chin up with his finger. "Leave Daniel and be with me Saira.""That's impossible. I can't just dump him without any reason." She told him."Does he make you feel alive like I do?" He demanded. "Does his kisses cause your knees to turn to jelly?"Saira scowled at him. "Yes.""Liar." He said. "You might love him but you're not really in love with him." "So you're an expert at discerning people's feelings now?" She scowled at him. "I'm in love with my boyfriend.""You're not the type of girl, I'd call a two timer." He stated."Technically I'm two timing." She argued."Because you want to be with me. Don't you get it? We try to stay away from each other but we keep coming back. Doesn't this tell you something?" He asked. "Ever since I met you... it's like you're the only one I see and no one else.""You sound annoyed." She looked amused."Of course I am." He snapped. "I hate being vulnerable.""You're right." She agreed. "I did

    Two days later "What the hell were you thinking, Darina?!" Saira heard Ethan's voice from a distance as she neared the Hospitality management department. She'd injured herself while going down the stairs in the girls hostel this morning so she'd gone to the school clinic for a check up. Unfortunately for her, she'd fractured her wrist - the one she wrote with and it hurt like hell."Excuse me for trying to defend my territory Ethan." Darina snapped. "I couldn't watch her steal you from me.""This again?" He cried. "We're over!""We're never going to be over Ethan Delnoi, never." She jabbed her finger in his chest. "You're mine and no one else's. Anyone who gets in my way will face the same consequences.""You're lucky your father talked Kiara's dad out of throwing you in jail or else your bratty ass will be behind bars right now.""It was just a minor accident! It's not like she's dead or something." Darina waved it away."And you wonder why I don't like you." Ethan said. "You're a h

    "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.
