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

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. "

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

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

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
