HIS AND HERS Chapter Fifty Six
The incessant ringing of Ethan's phone jolted him awake from his sleep and his eyelids fluttered open. The room was dark except for the lamplight which Saira had left on because she didn't like sleeping in the dark. He leaned over her to pick up his phone from her bedside table and stared at the screen. It was just two am in the morning which made him frown but he answered the call anyway."Hello." "Ethan?" Jeanette's voice said in his ear. "Ethan, I don't know what's wrong with DJ." Ethan slowly shifted out from under Saira and got out of bed and went to the bathroom. "What do you mean?" He rubbed his hand over his face to clear the sleep from his eyes."He's been crying all night. I don't know what to do." She said."You should take him to the hospital. Health Land." Ethan told her. "I'll be there in an hour.""Okay." She said."There is a doctor on call at the hospital, I'll give her a call so she can immediately attend to him once you get there." He said."Okay." She said.Ethan
HIS AND HERS Chapter Fifty Seven
George and Harrison watched their friend pace to and fro in the waiting room, looking very anxious. They'd rushed Saira to the hospital after they found her unconscious in her room in the girls hostel and now they were waiting for news about her and it was like they'd been waiting forever."Dude, you're making us dizzy." George said. "Aren't you feeling dizzy from all that pacing you've been doing for the past one hour?"Ethan stopped pacing. "I didn't ask you to watch me, so don't." He snapped."Sorry." George apologized.Finally, the doctor walked into the waiting room and from the expression on his face, it seemed that there was no good news."Doctor, how's my wife?" Ethan asked him."Well, Mr Delnoi... Your wife is okay, but..." He paused."But..." He probed."We were able to flush it out of her system, but the damage had already been done." The doctor said. "Your wife was two weeks pregnant, Mr Delnoi."George and Harrison let out excited gasps and hugged each other, until the wo

"You've been quiet." Saira remarked, staring at her husband who was busy on his phone. "And you've been on your phone since you walked in." "I'm sorry." He apologized, finally looking up from his phone. "Are you okay?""No." She frowned. "What do you need?""I need you to stop acting like my being here means I'm dying or something." She snapped."What?" He stared blankly at her."Both of our mothers and even Eugene have been giving me that look! That one!" She pointed a finger at his face. "Stop it.""You're not dying, Saira and we were not giving you any kind of look." He said. "It's all in your head.""Really? I made a joke yesterday and no one laughed.""We didn't laugh because it wasn't funny." He told her. "You made a joke about looking like death, sweetheart. What was there to laugh about?""But still!" She huffed."Watch TV." He reached for the remote on her bedside table and turned on the TV. "What do you want to watch?" He asked her."Wait!" She called out as he made to cha
HIS AND HERS Chapter Fifty Nine
Two weeks laterTheir post wedding party had to be postponed because Saira wasn't feeling up to partying or talking or even going to school. She was sad and cranky and not the happy go lucky person he knew and unfortunately he was the cause of her unhappiness, but she was still too nice to tell him that.Not that they talked all that much because she was still living with her mother and he didn't know when she'd return or if she intended to do so but he hoped she wouldn't think about all his faults and dump him like you would a hot potato."Whoa! Dude, what the hell?" Harry's eyes widened when he saw Ethan. He was Ethan Delnoi but didn't look like him, not with him looking like he'd not slept a wink in years, or even shaved for days. He looked and felt lost."Are you okay?" Harry asked."Do I look okay to you?" He questioned."No. No you don't." Harry shook his head. "She's not back yet?""No. She's not even talking to me." He replied gruffly. "Just one word texts.""You've given her

Saira gaped at him in disbelief, not quite believing what she had heard him say. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish several times before she finally shut it."Well?" He asked."Is that what you want?" She questioned in a flat voice."Is that what you want?" He echoed."I asked you first." She said."You didn't answer my first question.""Why would you think... I'd be thinking of something like that?" She frowned."Isn't it obvious? He just left and you lied." He responded. "That's how it begins. We drift apart until there's nothing to salvage anymore, so I want to clear things up before it gets to the stage where we can't even be in the same room." "I... No, that's not what I want." She shook her head.Ethan's breath left him in a whoosh as if he'd been holding it in without knowing."So... What's going on then?" He queried. "We now talk on the phone like virtual strangers. We don't even say I love you anymore."Tears glistened in Saira's eyes. "It hurts Ethan." She sank down on
HIS AND HERS Chapter Sixty One
Saira and Ethan rushed into HealthLand hospital and took the stairs to the second floor since they were in a hurry, so taking the elevator was out of it. Ethan had gotten a call from the hospital that Jeanette had been brought in, having suffered a heart attack which shocked him because he saw her yesterday and she was very fine."I'm here to see Jeanette Shane, please." Ethan said to the nurse at the nurse's station. "She's still in surgery sir." The nurse informed him."Did anyone come with her?" He asked."Yes. The woman is in the waiting room." "Thank you." Ethan said and they went to the waiting room."Oh, thank goodness you're here, Mr Delnoi." DJ's Nanny, Adelaide, breathed when they walked in. "What happened, Addy?" Ethan asked, reaching out to carry DJ from her. "The missus had a heart problem, sir. She was given just a month to live, so I told her that she had to let you know about your son." Adelaide replied. "I found her lying unconscious in the bathroom, barely breath
HIS AND HERS Chapter Sixty Two
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
HIS AND HERS Chapter Sixty Three
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
