Three days later The first person Saira saw when she opened her eyes was Daniel which surprised her because he'd been arrested and was in police custody with his father so how he was here, staring at her with a smile on his face was beyond her."Hey." He greeted."Am I... dreaming?" She croaked out."Nope. You're wide awake... finally." His smile widened.Saira looked around the room and realized she was in a hospital room and wondered for how long she'd been asleep."What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in jail." She frowned."Ethan dropped the charges against me. Why he did that is beyond me." He shrugged. "But I'm happy to be out because I've missed you, Saira.""Where's Ethan?" She inquired."He was in his room the last time I checked." Daniel replied. "I'll get the doctor." He stood up and left.Saira hoped she'd not woken up in another time where she was still Daniel's girlfriend because he was acting really strange and where the hell was Ethan or anyone else who wasn
"You didn't die." A voice sang. "Why didn't you die Saira?"She opened her eyes and gasped in fear when she saw Anne standing beside her bed holding a jagged knife over her."What are you doing here Anne?" She asked."I came back to kill you." Anne smiled evilly. "Goodbye Saira." She thrust the knife into her chest and twisted it."No!" She cried out in her sleep. "Saira!" Her mother shook her awake. "Wake up darling, it's only a dream."Saira jerked awake breathing heavily and looked around the room in fear. "Anne... Anne...""Your friend, Anne? She's not come to visit you." Jesselyn said."No... She... She came here to kill me Mom." Saira choked out. "She won't stop until I'm dead.""What are you saying?" Lyn looked confused."Ethan... Where is Ethan?" She demanded. "I want to see him.""I think he's asleep honey. It's two am.""Please I want to see him Mom." She pleaded. "Please.""Okay." Lyn nodded and stood up. "Calm down okay? I'll see if I can get him." She kissed Saira's fore
Daniel stood on the balcony and watched as the car drove into the compound and pulled up in front of the house. He frowned as the back door opened and Eileen alighted then Saira followed but Ethan remained in the car.He'd been hoping that the bastard had been joking about his disability so he wouldn't continue to feel guilty for what he did but it seemed to be true as one of the bodyguards carried out an electric wheelchair from the trunk of the car and dropped it by the door so Ethan could sit on it."Damn guy." Daniel thought. "He's really crippled."Ethan looked up as he felt someone staring at him and smirked when he saw Daniel glaring at him."Hey!" Ethan waved at him causing Eileen and Saira to look up as well.Daniel lifted his hand hesitantly and waved back then turned and walked into the house.Ethan chuckled. "Fool." He muttered under his breath."Welcome home honey." Eileen hugged him. "You've said that a million times Mom." Ethan chuckled as they went into the house. "It
"Who the hell turned on the heater?!" Daniel bellowed from the pool thirty minutes after he jumped in to swim."That'd be me." Ethan replied from the terrace."What the fuck? Why would you do that?!" Daniel hoisted himself up and out of the pool then grabbed his towel from the lounge chair."Cos I felt like it." Ethan smirked. "It was fun to watch.""You're a bastard, you know that?" Daniel rumbled. "If you weren't in a wheelchair, I'd have given you the beating of your life." Daniel walked around the pool and climbed up the short steps to meet him.Ethan laughed humorlessly. "There's nothing stopping you from trying. My mom is out." He told him."I know what you're trying to do but it won't work." Daniel said. "I won't give you that satisfaction.""If you touch my fiancee again or make her cry, I'll make you regret it Danny." Ethan threatened him. "The heater I turned on will be like a caress compared to what I'll do next. Do I make myself clear?""I'm shaking in my trunks." Daniel f
Ethan was only half asleep when he heard his bedroom door open and close then light footsteps walked towards his bed and then he felt the bed dip as the person joined him."Ethan? Are you asleep?" Saira whispered."Yes." He mumbled.Saira giggled. "Very funny." She said as she drew back the covers to get comfortable and covered herself. "I'm sorry.""For what?" He was yet to turn."Because of what happened." She said. "I only went to tell him to stay away from you."Ethan turned his head to look at her. "I can protect myself Saira.""I know." She sighed. "I just... When I heard what he said earlier today, I guess I became scared that he'd make it a reality." She pouted.Ethan reached out his hand to brush her hair away from her face. "I let him off the hook the first time doesn't mean I'll sit down and watch him hurt me again." He told her. "He's only seeing a side of me that I want him to see."Saira moved closer to him. "I love you very much Ethan. I didn't even love Daniel half as
Two days laterDaniel walked into the dining room ready to start his war with Ethan after what he'd done to him two days ago when Saira told Ethan how Daniel had come into her room to confront her and then manhandled her thereby leaving a bruise on her arm which she'd shown to Ethan.Ethan had retaliated by planting a snake on his bed that night but thankfully it had not bitten him but he'd screamed and fainted because he didn't like to see snakes.Ethan had laughed so hard, tears fell from his eyes.Daniel was surprised to see only his father eating at the table and wondered where Eileen, Ethan and Saira were."Dad, where is everyone?" He asked."How are you feeling now?" Eugene ignored his question."Better." Daniel replied. "Are they not feeling up to having breakfast?""Yes." Eugene said."Okay but I noticed that one of the cars is missing. Did anyone go out?" He asked.Eugene sighed. "Yes.""Mrs Delnoi?""Stop asking me questions, Daniel." Eugene snapped. "Ethan along with his mo
Ethan blinked in surprise. "Um.... What brought this on?" He asked. "You don't want to wait?"She got up, rounded the sofa and came to stand in front of him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "This year, next year, two years from now... What does it matter?" She questioned. "As long as we love each other and we want to be together.""I love you and I want to be with you forever." He told her."Me too. So, do you want to get married? Here in Bora Bora?" She smiled."Is this because of your talk with Darina?" He arched a brow.Saira sighed and released him. "No.""Liar." He said."Fine! Yes!" She snapped. "I know the two of you have a lot of history together and... just a few months ago, you two were dating.""Meaning?" He arched a brow."Don't act dumb." She retorted. "You and I know very well how the two of you fight and make up. Remember the big fight in the school cafeteria where you dragged her out and went to..." She paused and clenched her fists. "You know what you did with
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. "
