Moriah turned cold and her mouth went dry, and her heart labored with slow, painful thumps. At the same time, her brain was working too fast, racing through a chain of conclusions, each more unpleasant than the last. She walked away from there and trudged up the stairs. She held her abdomen. "My child and I could live without you Ethan," Moriah said with her head held high. She packed her things in two big suit cases. She took her dowry, wedding bands that she and Shaun bought and their engagement ring. The wedding band Ethan bought, she put on the nightstand. Moriah phoned Shaun, and it was answered immediately. "Hello, what's wrong?" Calling him in the middle of the night, Shaun instinctively knew that something went wrong. "Shaun, please pick me here at the mansion," Moriah said softly. "Alright, I'll come right away," Shaun said, he hurriedly got dressed and drove off. Moriah went down to call a bodyguard to help her with her luggage. As she was waiting for Shaun in the livi
"Okay, would you want me to tell mom about it?" Dylan asked, Moriah could hear the enthusiasm in his voice. "Yes," Moriah replied, smiling as she stroked her abdomen. "Moriah, I've got to hang up, the meeting will start in a minute," Dylan said. "I'll call you back after the meeting." "Okay," Moriah said and disconnected the call. Moriah dialed Shaun's number. And the call was connected right away as if he had been waiting for her call. "Moriah?" Shaun said. "Shaun, can we have an early dinner at 5:30?" Moriah asked. "Yes," Shaun replied. Shaun rang the bell in her room. Moriah opened the door and smiled at him. "Thank you for coming, Shaun" as she walked out the room. They went to the restaurant in the hotel. After they had their meal. Moriah took two small boxes from her bag and gave them to Shaun. Shaun recognized them and was saddened to see the box of the engagement and wedding ring."Shaun, thank you for everything. I have kept all the beautiful memories we had and yo
Ethan's face darkened. "Who are you to decide on this matter? This is a problem between us, don't meddle." Dylan stared at him before he let out a humorless chuckle and picked up his phone and dialed Moriah's number. "Dy," came Moriah's melodious voice, Ethan's heartbeat raced hearing his wife's voice. He felt like he hadn't heard her voice for a decade as he missed her so much. "Ethan is here to see you," Dylan replied, Ethan held his breath as he eagerly waited for her reply. "Dy, send him away. I don't want to see him. He has nothing to do with us. My baby and I will live without him," she was sounding incensed by the time she finished speaking. Ethan's shoulders drooped at what he heard from his wife. "Moriah," Ethan said. Moriah heard Ethan's voice, but never allowed herself to soften. She had enough. "Okay, how was the ultrasound?" Dylan asked so he could make Ethan regret what he did to Moriah. "The baby is fine, I'm in my ninth week and 31 weeks more and we'll finally s
Ethan became ill tempered as days passed by without any breakthrough in their search for Moriah. For five months not a single news about his wife made him frustrated. In the car there were two people speaking. "He hadn't found his wife yet, but his company is still on the move and growing stronger. Are you sure he really loves her?" "He had to dispatch his private investigators in search of his wife. Our source said that he was searching for her because she's pregnant," answered the other man. "Oh, his wife is pregnant!" He laughed like a lunatic. Ethan came out of the conference room after two hours of meeting. "Sir, our flight to Singapore is in three hours," Cameron reminded Ethan. "Ethan, I want to go with you to Singapore," Hazel held Ethan's arm, Cameron rolled his eyes. "You'll just get tired. I won't stay there for long, I'll be back within the week. Be good, okay? " Ethan tenderly said and strode towards the elevator. As he boarded the car, Ethan's phone rang. "Spe
Cindy snorted and rolled her eyes. "So you wanted to see me just to throw insults at me?" "Honey, I don't like skinny girls. You're perfect," Zachary said, wiggling his eyebrows. "Sweet talk…" Cindy said with pouty lips. "Believe me… okay turn your camera on. I want to see you," Zachary cooed. Just as Cindy turned her camera on Moriah came in, Zachary spotted her at once and thought of capturing it. He took photos of her, but he only managed to capture half of her body. When he and Cindy said goodbye and ended the video chat, he quickly forwarded Moriah's pictures to Ethan. As Ethan was disembarking from the private jet, he heard his phone beeped, notifying he had a new message in his social media. He ignored it. And boarded the car. He instructed Cameron to set a meeting within the day. He wanted to get it done so he could fly to Beijing to see his wife. They checked into a hotel. The suite was a two bedroom suite. Ethan occupied the master bedroom while Cameron occupied the
Moriah didn't look behind her, seeing his face was the last thing she desired to do. Ethan quietly followed her as the queue was moving and soon it was Moriah's turn to ride a cab. Moriah was startled to see him get into the cab once she was seated in the back passenger seat. "You," Moriah glared and pointed at him. She decided to get out of the cab, however, Ethan held her wrist. Smiling at them through the rearview mirror, the cab driver asked. "Where to ma'am?" "Bellevue Residence, Orchard Boulevard," Moriah answered while she buckled up. Ethan dared not to talk to her in the cab nonetheless he openly stared at his wife. His eyes feasted on her beautiful side profile, taking in his fill. She became more beautiful carrying their child. The baby bump looks good on her. "Where here, ma'am," the driver announced, Moriah took money from her purse to pay, but Ethan beat her to it and gave the driver a hundred Singapore dollar. Moriah huffed and got out of the cab. "Sir, your chan
"I won't leave her, she needs me," Ethan answered while he dressed Moriah. "Then, why did you reject her and the child?" Cindy asked with a smirk. "I was an idiot at that time," Ethan replied without averting his gaze from his still unconscious wife. "She's decided to raise the child by herself. What would you do? " Cindy asked just to goad him, so he would be decisive with his decision to take Moriah back. Ethan held Moriah's hand and lifted it to his lips before replying, "I'll do everything to have her back." "I hope you could still change her mind. She's my best friend, I knew once she made up her mind nothing can change it. She loved Shaun for over a decade, but when he rejected her, the affection she had for him was reduced to nothing, " Cindy shrugged her shoulders and left the room. Ethan stared at Moriah for a long time. He stroked her face ever so gently. "Wife, you're not allowed to forget me." Ethan removed his suit and shoes, and then lay down beside Moriah. She mov
Cindy was extremely happy that they will be going back to London. It’s been two months since she left London and longed to be with Zachary. He had been persuading her to tell where she was and promised that he wouldn't inform Ethan yet she was unwilling to betray Moriah. Cindy stood in front of Moriah and saluted. "Right away, madam."Despite the heaviness in her heart Moriah couldn't help but laugh at her friend's antics. Just as Cindy came inside, Moriah dialed Sophie's number. The call couldn't get through. She called again, still her call couldn't get through. Only after the umpteenth time that she eventually gave up and called Dylan. Moriah knew that Sophie sometimes forgot to bring her phone.. "Did you miss me again, little sister?" Dylan's voice sounded with a chuckle. "Dy," Moriah called his name and he heard the tremor in her voice. "Hey, what's wrong," Dylan sprang up from his swivel chair in alarm, his heart skipped a beat. "Ethan knows where I am, he's in Singapore
Moriah stared at her reflection in the mirror with a critical eye, tilting her head this way and that as she turned around to look at her butt. Ethan stepped into her line of sight, and she gave him a perturbed frown in the mirror. "Are you ready?" Ethan lovingly looked at Moriah, who was looking at herself in the mirror in displeasure. "You seemed to be disgusted with yourself.” "Why won't I be disgusted looking at myself when this kid made me look like an elephant," Moriah pouted as she complained, and he grinned, coming up behind her to wrap his arms around her. He could hardly fit them around her huge stomach. “You look beautiful and you know it,” he told her, dropping a kiss onto her shoulder. She turned around and looked at the man, the corner of his eyes crinkling attractively. He just got more gorgeous with age; the sprinkling of gray in his hair and the fine lines forming around his eyes and on his brow just added to his gorgeous looks. It was something she often complain
"It's good that you are all here," Moriah said when they were all seated on the couch. "I want to discuss something with you," Moriah said to them."What is it that you want to discuss with us?" Eu - meh asked and gaze at Ethan who lovingly stared at his wife. She thought that Moriah wanted her husband to be the CEO of the company and that's why she brought her husband with her. But, he already has his own empire. Are they going to merge Chen Enterprise to their empire? "I will go straight to the point as the shareholder meeting will start soon," Moriah said and her cousins nodded. They waited expectantly for her next words. "Thank you that you are willing to give me the inheritance grandpa left for me. The 50% share I inherited, I will give Lee, Haoyu, Eu - meh, 5% each, I will keep 10% of the share and the remaining 25% will be for Ting," said, smiling at her cousins who couldn't believe what they heard. "I gave Ting the largest portion as he is the CEO who kept this company movi
After having a two hours rest and letting Dillon and the triplets settle, Ethan and Moriah went to the hospital. "The twins are a mini version of Dylan and Serana, Raymond looks like Dylan while Shannon looks like Serena," Moriah said while looking at the twins sleeping soundly in the cradle. "I told you," Dylan said to Serena. "I look like my son," he was proud that his son looked like him. Serena giggled, looking at the smug face of Dylan. "Okay, you're right," she said, raising both of her hands. "By the way, how was your MRI scan?" Dylan asked Ethan, Moriah called him the day before Ethan's MRI scans. "No, more blood clot," Ethan said, full of smiles. "That's great news! We have a lot of things to celebrate," Dylan patted Ethan's shoulders, he was pleased that Ethan got healed. He was so worried for Moriah and his nephews and nieces when he learned that Ethan had a blood clot. Of course, he also felt bad for Ethan. He came to love him as his brother in law. Ethan and Moriah
After Ethan’s message, images of their wedding flashed on the screen, afterwards photos of them in Shanghai, their family pictures and many photos of her and Ethan together. She couldn’t help but smile as she watched the photos of their four year marriage. Moriah blushed when a video of their lovemaking came after the still images. “Ethan!” she pinched his side torso. Ethan roared in laughter. “You’re so mean,” It dawned on her that it’s the reason he told her to watch alone in their room. “I'm not mean," he said, still trying to stop himself from laughing. He went on after he stopped laughing. " If ever I forget you and watch how I make love with you, at least it gives me proof that I truly adore you and that we truly love each other. Look, we are not only having s*x but what we were doing was expressing our love for each other. It wasn’t lust that moved our bodies, but love,” Ethan explained to his bashful wife. Moriah stared at the screen. She studied the way their hands care
Moriah looked at him with her bright smile that he loves to look at, which made the little annoyance completely vanish. "I love you, Mr Ethan Miller!" "I love you, too Mrs Moriah Miller," Ethan chuckled, tilting his head, rubbing the tip of his nose against the tip of her nose. Moriah pulled away from him and put the flowers on the couch. It was only then that she noticed the floor with rose petals. She giggled. "Now, I know that you are capable of doing romantic things to pursue a woman." "And that woman is you," Ethan snaked his arm around her waist and drew her near to him, closing the gap between them. Ethan didn’t let the night pass by without showing his love to her. He savored the moment to hold her close to him as their bodies tangled. The day of his surgery had finally arrived. Before Ethan was wheeled into the operating theater, he whispered something to Moriah. “See you soon, love,” Moriah smiled brightly at him. Moriah, Fiona and Brandon sat on the bench outside the
The following morning after they arrived at the countryside estate where they got married, they went for a walk in the woods."Baby, let's go back," Moriah said when they were half a mile away from the house. "Let's take a picture first," Ethan pulled up his iPhone to capture their moment."Look at me, love," Ethan whispered in her ear. Ethan titled his head and captured her lips when she turned her head towards him. Moriah had not refused him, but kissed him back while she wrapped her arms around his waist. Ethan held the back of her head and kissed her deeply. While his other hand lifted his phone, recording their moment. Everyday they would walk leisurely around the estate to relax. The estate had so much beautiful scenery that Ethan had not explored yet as he had been working hard for the years and rarely had time to relax. Dr. Houston, instructed Moriah to convince Ethan to have a vacation and time to relax before the surgery. It was imperative that Ethan have a sound mind
"Let me take you to the couch," Ethan broke the silence after a long while. "No, I can do it," she's a doctor and had an idea what was going on with his body. Moriah sat next to him. She placed her feet on the couch and hugged her knees. She waited for him to speak."I have a blood clot in the brain," Ethan said, his voice trembling. Moriah was still stupefied despite having an impression that his physical condition wasn't good. "Why are you divorcing me then?" Moriah broke down and sobbed. "I refused to have a surgery because of the risk of losing my memory. I would rather die remembering you than to live forgetting you. To forget you is worse than death," Ethan replied, tears escaping his rims. The reason he allowed Harry to pursue Moriah was so she would fall in love with him and it wouldn't be hard for her when he dies. Although it was difficult to let her go, he can't be selfish and leave her without someone who would love and take care of her. And Harry was the right man w
Slowly she opened it. Her hands shook violently as she read the content. Tears kept streaming down her cheeks like a river. Her chest rose and fell, as she tried to contain the waves of emotions inside her chest. "I don't need your money, all I want are the kids," she was surprised that she managed to speak calmly, she couldn't believe that it was her who spoke. Ethan was about to speak but she raised her hand, beckoning him to be silent. "I can take care of the children. I'm a surgeon, with my income, I can give them a decent life. I have a dowry that is worth millions of pounds. My cousin called me two days ago saying that they were going to give me my inheritance and my parents left me a large amount of money. Plus, I have mum, dad and Dylan. We don't need your money," Moriah was breathless after she spoke without pause. She panted as tears kept flowing. Moriah already regained her memory however she didn't tell him as he was so busy and had no time for her. Ethan's face darkene
Moriah was excited to clock out as there will be a simple celebration in the mansion for the triplets who are now three months old.When her shift ended, she hurriedly went out of her office. She was surprised to see Ethan outside waiting for her."Love, you're here to pick me up?" Moriah was high in spirit that Ethan came to pick her up. He had been so busy and had no time for her over the month.Thankfully, she was occupied taking care of Dillon and the triplets, so she had no time to have a pity party, though she was hurting.Ethan didn't say anything and just started walking. Moriah just shrugged her shoulders, she became used to his mood swings. There were times that he would be warm to her and then shift back to becoming distan
