Daniel looked down at his phone as it vibrated against his thigh on the sofa and he picked it up, frowned at the unknown number on the screen and answered the call. For all he knew, it could be Ethan calling to taunt him but the number was local.

"Hello?"

"Daniel?" A female voice answered.

"This is he. Who am I speaking with?" He asked.

"Darina Walter." She replied haughtily.

"How did you get my number and why are you calling me? Did you miss a number perhaps?" He sneered.

"It doesn't matter." She said. "I called Ethan yesterday and a slut picked up. She told me she's Ethan's fiancee."

"So?" He huffed.

"You live with Ethan... though you don't deserve to be out of jail so you must know if she was only pulling my leg." She said.

"You called to ask for information about your stupid ex from me and you're insulting me and my girlfriend?" Daniel asked. "Are you high?"

"So it's not true?" She asked hopefully.

"The idiot claims that it's true but I know he's playing with me." Daniel huffed. "

    Two days later"No! No!" Darina screamed suddenly during breakfast as she stared at her phone. "This can't be true.""What have I told you about using your phone during breakfast?" Her father scowled at her."Look!" She shoved her phone in front of his face. "This can't be true, right?"Frederick Walter read the news headline and shrugged. "If it's on that website then it's true." He said. "Besides, it's about time that boy settles down.""That boy! is my future husband dad!" She snarled. "At least he was until this..." She grunted in exasperation. "I hate her!""Quit your yapping and eat. When your mother gets back today, you can scream and yell all you want in her ear." Fred rumbled."I bet that mom knew about this." Darina seethed. "I'll never forgive her for doing this to me. She knows how much I love Ethan."Fred rolled his eyes and groaned then pushed his chair back and stood up. "I'm off to the club. Say hi to your mother for me." He walked out of the dining room.Darina went t

    A month later"Where the fuck are they?" Daniel's frown deepened as he stared at his wristwatch for the umpteenth time. He'd returned home from visiting his friends and when he asked about his father and Eileen, he was told they'd gone to the airport so he'd guessed that Ethan and Saira were returning today but that was five hours ago.Surely, the traffic couldn't be so bad that they'd be stuck in it for five hours!The airport was like a two hour drive from their estate so either they'd gone out to celebrate or their flight had been delayed and they weren't coming home anymore but since it was a private jet... they had no excuse whatsoever not to be home by now.Daniel paced to and fro in the sitting room wondering who he could call to ask about the jet when he heard his father's voice in the hallway and he let out a sigh of relief.The door opened and his parents walked in and closed the door but with no sign of Ethan and Saira in sight."Mom, dad... welcome." He said glancing at th

    A week later"Are you okay, sweetheart?" Ethan looked over at Saira as she kept fidgeting in her seat after he parked the car and shut off the engine."I'm kinda scared." She said."Why?" He looked surprised. "Is it because of Darina?""No. Anne." She frowned. "Didn't you say she escaped being caught by the police?""Yeah, but she knows better than to come back to school or even this state." He tucked her hair behind her ear. "Besides, we'll be together all the time so you have nothing to worry about.""Many things can happen between me leaving you to go to the restroom you know." She pouted. "You watch it in movies."Ethan chuckled. "Fine. Then I'll go with you to the restroom if you want. I'll stand guard outside." He said. "That cool with you?"Saira shook her head. "I'm just being silly. I won't kill your social life just because I'm scared of a girl like me.""You have every right to be scared." He said. "She was your friend but she literally stabbed you in the back. Left to me,

    Ethan sat in the cafeteria waiting for Saira and wondering where she could be. She'd told him to meet her here by twelve and he'd gotten here two minutes before twelve but she was nowhere to be found.Hoping she was okay and not in trouble, he fished out his phone and clicked on her number that he'd put on speed dial then put the phone to his ear as it began to ring. He'd had to politely tell so many girls off and he wasn't sure he had anymore polite bone in his body at this point. "Hey hon." Saira's cheerful voice greeted in his ear.Ethan let out a sigh of relief. "Sweetheart... where are you? It's 12:05." He said."I know. I'm very sorry." She apologized. "Professor Williams called me to her office to see her. I left her not quite long but I'm on my way to the cafeteria now.""Alright." He said. "Be careful.""I will. I love you.""I love you twice as much." He grinned. "Kisses." He hung up. He looked at Darina as she slipped into the chair in front of him and he sighed."You'd bl

    "Eat!" Ethan ordered.The girl whimpered and with a shaky hand, dug the spoon inside the bucket and scooped up a small amount of the dirt and raised it to her lips."Please don't make me eat it." Her voice shook."I am waiting." He folded his arms across his chest glaring at her. "You either eat or you bathe in it.""What is going on here?" Saira pushed through the crowd and came to stand beside Harry, took in the scene in front of her and faced Ethan. "What do you think you're doing?""What does it look like?" He asked. "I'm punishing them for destroying your pretty dress and... why haven't you changed?"Saira sighed. "I forgot my room key at home so I can't get into my room.""You should've asked Olivia for a spare." He said."No one was there." She said, glanced at the crying girl again and shook her head. "Let her go. What happened was an accident.""It wasn't." He objected."Either way." She said dismissively. "This is not high school anymore.""Oh you've not seen anything, Saira

    Legs? What the hell?Ethan looked around wondering if Lucian was referring to someone else behind them but he didn't see anyone then he looked at Saira who was still but no longer looking pale."I see you've not changed one bit." He eyed her clothes. "Still dressing in clothes that are way too big on you. Are you really that scared of someone noticing your curves?"Ethan almost choked on his spit, looking shocked. This bozo had a lot of nerve talking to his wife like that as if he wasn't standing there."Hey, What do you think you're doing?" Ethan demanded angrily. "How dare you talk to her like that?"Lucian cut his gaze to Ethan who looked very pissed and he grinned. "I've always wanted to meet you in person, Ethan Delnoi. I'm Lucian Chamberlain." He held out his hand. "Peridot oil and gas."Ethan stared at his hand like it was something disgusting then looked at his face. "Peridot? You mean the company that Delnoi corporation owns majority of their shares? That Peridot?" He arched

    Two days laterSaira sat in the reception of the registrar's office waiting to see the person in charge when the electronic doors slid open and someone walked in. She was busy texting Ethan on the phone so she didn't notice the person sitting beside her until she felt a hand brush the nape of her neck and she jumped."Hey Legs." Lucian grinned.Saira glared at him. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" She spat acidly. "How dare you touch me like that?""I always touch you like that." He smirked. "Remember?""I see that your nose is still intact." She shot him a saccharine smile. "Maybe I'll have Ethan aim for your nose this time. Just you wait." She grabbed her file and moved away from him.Lucian sighed, rolled his eyes and went to join her on the far end of the recliners. "Why did you marry that douche, anyway? He's a player and I know he's not your type." He said."So who's my type? You?" She questioned mockingly. "I'd prefer to date a mad man than to date someone like you."

    Ethan took a deep shuddering breath when he felt Saira's hand pull from his and he turned his head to look at her. He watched her take a step back, watched her swallow as she stared at the baby in Jeanette's arms. The baby who was his exact replica except that his eyes were green like Jeanette's and he had blonde hair like her but it was a given, even without conducting a DNA test that DJ was his biological son."Saira?" His voice was shaky as she took another step back. Was she leaving?"Um..." She paused, looking everywhere else but at him. "You should um... go upstairs and finish this."Ethan backed Jeanette, completely forgetting about her and focusing on his wife who looked like she wanted to be anywhere else but in the lobby at that moment."We can talk about this. Don't leave." He pleaded as she continued backing away from him."I have to go." She turned and ran down the opposite direction towards the fire exit."Saira!" He called and made to run after her but Jeanette's voice

    "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.
