Saira paid the cab driver when she got to her destination, alighted from the car and shut the door and the car drove off."You can do this, Saira. Finish this once and for all, so you can go back to your husband and your son." She told herself and walked up to the black gate, opened it and let herself in.The house was an uncompleted mansion in progress and Saira guessed it to be three stories because of the height. There were bushes surrounding it like it had been abandoned for quite a while, but she didn't wait to admire it as she trudged through the overgrown weeds,climbed the short steps to the house and went into the house."I'm here!" She called out, standing in the hallway. "Let's finish this once and for all." Not even up to a minute later, she felt the muzzle of a gun at her back and she tensed up."Hello bestie." Anne sang near her ear. "Glad you could make it. Ethan is not hiding somewhere, is he?" She cocked the gun."He doesn't know." She took a deep breath. "I'm here as
Ethan heard Saira suck in a sharp breath and he clenched his fist. He could tell Anne to go to hell, but his wife's life was on the line. It'd be a different story if he was in front of Anne right now. He'd probably not even give her time to explain herself before he shot her in the head."Annulment?" He hoped he'd not heard her correctly."Yes, my love. Annul your marriage and I'll let her go, but only after I've seen proof of the annulment." She said."That'd take months." He protested."Aren't you one of the richest men in the world? You can pay someone off to get it done for you within a couple of days." She sounded nonchalant.Ethan rubbed his forehead. He was starting to feel a headache coming on and it was the one thing he hated. Headache caused by stress."I want to see my wife. Text me the address.""How about I send you a picture instead?" Anne countered. "Who's to say you won't call the police on your way here? I mean I won't be surprised if they're with you, right now.""T
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.
"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
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
"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
"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
"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.
