Knowing the ordeal she went through, but persevered in the face of challenges and helped the company stabilize despite it all, Ethan felt blessed having married a brave woman like her.

Who could have known that a delicate woman like her could soldier on? Pride welled up in his heart.

“You made me proud,” Ethan said against her head.

Moriah looked at the man and smiled.

Ethan caught sight of the playful smile plastered on her face. “Why are you smiling like that?”

“I remembered, Jim and the bodyguards, they might be thinking that I have already found a man to replace you,” Moriah giggled as she pictured the looks on their faces.

“Is it alright for you to be misunderstood?” Ethan asked with furrowed brows.

“I would do anything and endure being misunderstood just to make sure that those responsible for the plane crash will be sent to jail,” Moriah's face was like a flint as she spoke. “They tried to kill you, I won’t let them off the hook.”

    Moriah let him sit at the edge of the bathtub and then she stood up and wore a robe. "Don't worry, it's nothing," Ethan said to her. Moriah's heart calmed down as she knew that a person tends to get dizzy when standing abruptly. "Are you pissed off with me?" Moriah asked teasingly as Ethan got out of the bathtub and wore his robe. "Why would I be?" Ethan's lips quirked as he spoke and held Moriah's waist. "Why did you suddenly get up if you're not pissed off?" "That is to…" Ethan swept her into his arms. Bewildered, after being lifted without warning, Moriah asked, "You.. What are you doing?" Ethan roared in laughter seeing how adorable his wife was. He was laughing as he carried her out of the bathroom and placed her in front of the dresser. He blew dry her hair. And it took him a while to completely dry her hair because it was thick and long. Moriah's eyes did not stray from the man who gently blew dry her hair, following every movement he made. Thinking of the time he wen

    She reached out to touch his face and stuttering she said, "Baby, I - I know you missed me so much and can't get enough of me. But, we have visitors waiting for us." Ethan looked at her with puppy eyes. He looked adorable, Moriah found herself, promising something she would regret later. "Alright, after they leave. I'm at your mercy." Ethan smirked and walked to the door. "Better, keep your promise." Moriah slapped her forehead. She easily fell into his trap whenever he acted cute. She better not look at him when using a puppy eye look, she just can't resist him. Moriah reached out for the door knob and opened the door. They walked into the living hand in hand with faces full of smiles. The executives looked at the couple approaching them with the fingers interlocked. Obviously, the couple were so in love with each other. Their eyes were shining as though they contained all the stars in the vast universe. "Madam, are you trying to make us envious? I feel like going home to see

    The following day, in Bryan's apartment, he was woken up by loud bangings at the door. He cursed under his breath and the blond woman beside him stirred as he got up from the bed. Pissed off, he went to check who was banging his apartment door. "What the — " he was unable to finish his sentence as guns were pointed at him. He lifted his hands in shock."Bryan Miller, you are under arrest," the police officer seized and handcuffed him. On the other part of London, there were also arrests that were happening and some of Bryan's cohorts were dead as they fired at the police while they tried to escape.

    "Dad is coming here," Ethan said while they cuddled each other. "Are you going to tell him every single thing your brother did to you?" Moriah asked as she didn’t know what he was planning to tell his dad. “Yes,” a surge of emotion swept over his heart, knowing that it would be hard for his father to accept it, but he had no choice but to tell him everything. His brother wouldn't stop and will persuade Brandon to help him out of jail. If he wouldn't tell Brandon, he would surely take Bryan out of jail. Brandon did it several times. He bailed Bryan out of jail. Ethan carefully got up from the bed, not wanting to wake her up as she had been tired for the past few days. Any time soon, Brandon will be arriving, so Ethan had a quick shower and got dressed. Then, he went downstairs to wait for his dad. Lei and Sophie were playing with Dillon in the living room.

    In a loud voice, Brandon asked in shock, “What did you say?” Moriah, who had just come into the room, was startled and jumped. She could hear the loud thudding of her heart. Ethan came near his startled wife and gathered her in his arms. “Brandon, calm down,” Fiona said when she saw Moriah’s pale face. “Are you okay?” Ethan asked while she nestled in his arms. “Mm,” she hummed. Ethan steered her gently towards the couch and they sat side by side. Brandon took a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Is he the one who plotted against you?” Ethan pursed his lips and handed the box to his father. The evidence he kept for a long time and the new evidence collected by Lei. Brandon’s hands were trembling while looking at the evidence. Ethan persuaded him to hear the audio recording. By the time he finished hearing the recording, he clutched his chest. “Brandon!” Fiona called in panic. Moriah neared Brandon and asked, “Dad, do you have chest - pain?”“Yes.... I.... Can’t breathe,” he

    Soft kisses woke her from her sweet sleep. She squinted her eyes to look at Ethan, who busily showered her neck with light kisses. "Baby," a slightly hoarse voice came out of her mouth. Ethan looked up and smiled at her mischievously. Moriah knew the meaning of his smile and voiced her protest. "Give me a break, Ethan. I'm too exhausted." The smile on his face vanished and was replaced with concern. He lay down beside her and gathered her in his arms. "You sleep some more." Yawning, she asked him. "What time is it?" "It's 8 in the morning," he replied. "What?" Immediately, she got up, but was dragged down by Ethan onto the bed. "I have to feed and bathe Dillon," she said and pushed him so she could get up. Ethan wouldn't let her go. "I've already done that. Mum and dad are looking after him now. They're in the living room playing with Dillon." A smile broke out into her face. Indeed, this man really is a hands - on dad. "Stay, I want to hold you for a while," Ethan said when

    Ethan listened to the directors' reports for several hours. As Ethan stood up and left for his office, Cameron said, "Let's have lunch together, Mr Miller booked a private room in Comedor." At the CEO office Ethan sat down on his swivel chair as he felt dizzy. He closed his eyes for a while and his dizziness vanished. He hadn't had enough sleep as he thought what to do if his father would ask him to drop the lawsuit. In a restaurant somewhere in London Cindy looked at her curiously. "You're glowing, it seems like you have already got over Ethan. Tell me, did you find a new lover in Canada?" Moriah stared at Cindy, her eyes were shimmering. Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Cindy got excited. "Tell me, do you have a photo of your new lover?" Moriah took out her phone from her bag with a smirk on her face.

Shortly, Moriah's phone vibrated notifying her that she received a message. Filled with rage as an escort came close to Zachary, Cindy yelled and called his name. "Zachary Brown!" The three men, including the escorts, turned their heads simultaneously. A stunned look flash in Ethan's handsome face when he saw Moriah standing beside Cindy, but soon replaced with a smile. Moriah wordlessly came near and sat beside Ethan. Instantly, Ethan wound his arm around her waist. "Let's call the wedding off," Cindy said to Zachary. Zachary looked daggers at Jerome, who was smirking, enjoying the drama. Then held Cindy in his arms. "It's Jerome's idea, I didn't know he hired escorts," Zachary frantically cleared the misunderstanding. Moriah calmly watched as she leaned her body on Ethan and did not try to intervene.

    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.

    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.

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 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.

"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.

    "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.
