"Let me handle it," Ethan said and took his phone and started a video call. As the video call was answered they were greeted with Dillon's crying face. Moriah scrunched her face, seeing Dillon tear streaked face. "Da, da, da," he cried while his right thumb was inside his mouth. No matter how busy Ethan was, he always saw to it that he would spend time everyday with Dillon, as a result their bond became stronger. So whenever he was not in a good mood he would call Ethan. He wanted his dad. "Dillon, daddy here…" Ethan said. Dillon's eyes widened as he heard Ethan's voice. He looked at the phone screen intently while Ethan talked to him. All through the video call, Dillon clapped his hands and kicked his feet while he giggled. Moriah contentedly watched the two most important people in her life. When he was apparently in a good mood, Ethan ended the call and came back to the table to bid goodbye. "Mr Smith, thanks for the lunch. My wife and I have to go now as we already miss o

For the entire two weeks Moriah had not taken off work, so she could take a three day off work as she wanted to spend time with the Wangs before they head off to Shanghai. They spend the weekend in Ethan's countryside estate where they got married.A giddy feeling took over Moriah while Moriah got out of the car. Reminiscing that day she unexpectedly got married to Ethan. A smile hovered over her face. In her heart she thanked God that she was jilted by Shaun at the altar giving Ethan a chance to marry her. "Remember our first night?" Ethan said when they stepped into the master bedroom. Moriah blushed at the question he posed as the memory of their first night. She was embarrassed by what she did that night because she wanted to deceive her parents and wanted to deprive Ethan of his marital rights. When there was no response from her, Ethan slid his finger under her chin and lifted it. Seeing the blushing face of Moriah, Ethan's lips twitched and said, "Why aren't you looking

"Don't come near me, I will stab you, if you'll come near me," Moriah said as she tried to speak in a calm voice and stop her knees from knocking. She was hoping that the man will believe her since he can't see her. However, the man didn't stop, rather he stepped closer to her and laughed. "Ethan!" Moriah hurled herself to him. "You're so mean, you scared me to death," she said as she nuzzled his neck. "Did I scare you?" Ethan muttered tenderly against her temple. "Mm," she hummed her reply. "Don't do it again, I might get a heart attack," she disentangled herself from him and went to switch the lights on. "Why didn't you switch the lights on when you came in?" "I saw you sleeping when I opened the door. I didn't have the heart to wake you up," his eyes lovingly gazed at her. Moriah hugged him. She just finds it hard to resist hugging him as she always finds solace in his embrace. She inhaled his cologne and clean, masculine scent. "By the way, why are you here?" Moriah asked wh

"Love, I have an urgent meeting. I can't pick you up. I'll see you at the venue," Ethan said in a hurry. But before he ended the call, he said, "I love you, wifey." Moriah's lips curled up in a wide smile as those words landed in her ears. He never forgot to say those words to her. He was never tired of saying those words to her. In fact, he says those words dozens of times a day. He would say it while heading home, going to work, when he calls at lunch time, when they are at home, when they're making love. Wherever and whenever he sees a chance to say it, he would say it. "I love you too, Mr Ethan Miller, you mean the world to me," Moriah was over the moon every time she heard it from him. "See you, my love," then she hung up. As days pass by, Ethan and Moriah get sweeter and sweeter. Her reverie was interrupted when her phone rang."Where are you?" Cindy's shrill voice rang in her ear, Moriah pulled away the phone from her ear while she cringed. "I'm on my way to the courtyard

Cindy nodded in understanding and hugged her. "Thanks Moriah, you're really my best friend." Moriah stroked her back, she's glad that despite her emotional instability at the moment Cindy still listened to her. "By the way, Cindy, this is Chelsea, Shaun's fiancée," Moriah said as she remembered the woman who stood beside her. Cindy's eyes and mouth agape. "Shaun has already gotten over —-" "He's getting married soon," Moriah cut Cindy off before she blurted something awkward. Cindy realized that she had to consider Chelsea's feelings. It would be really awkward if she knew that Moriah was Shaun's ex fiancée. "Hi, I'm Cindy. I hope you'll enjoy the party." Cindy extended her hand for a handshake, Chelsea took Cindy's hand and shook it. After chatting for a while, Chelsea considerably relaxed and her reservation dissipated. With the warm personality of Moriah and Cindy she thought that she should not be raising her guard around them. Initially, she thought that Moriah was a snob

Finally, Zachary and Cindy’s big day had arrived. Due to her pregnancy Cindy had a fluctuating emotion. So, while the makeup artist busily did Moriah's make up, Moriah was talking to Cindy over the phone. "Cindy, you have to calm down. Today is your big day, you have to look beautiful," Moriah somewhat felt like she was coaxing a spoiled daughter who wanted something but she can't have it. "What if he leaves me at the altar," when she became pregnant Cindy's waist became thick and she felt ugly as well. Hence, she became insecure and thought that Zachary would change his mind and won't show himself at the wedding or maybe he would show at the wedding but would call the wedding off. Too many unpleasant scenarios came into her mind. "Don't be negative, okay? Everything will be alright," Moriah chided her. "Think about it. Zachary was eager to marry you because he loves you," Moriah added to erase Cindy's negative thoughts. Moriah had a point, so Cindy didn't refute it. "Okay, are

Ethan thrust his hands in the pocket of his suit pocket while gritting his teeth. "Let's go," he said in a controlled voice. Moriah held his arms as they went out of the lobby and she walked with wobbly feet. Ethan sensed that she was just trying to act calm but deep within she was shaking. He snaked his arm around her waist afraid that she would collapse any minute. Matthew went near them when he saw that something was amiss. After seeing how pale Moriah was, even with makeup, she looked sick, he knew there was a problem. "Sir," Matthew said. "Tell the bodyguards to search for Dillon and the nanny," Ethan ordered. Matthew did it right away without any delay. Ethan and Moriah went to the surveillance room and looked at the surveillance monitors after 10 minutes of looking at the monitor, Matthew reported that they could not find any trace of the nanny and Dillon in the hotel.

"Police officers are downstairs," Ethan said after a while and caressed her face. "Love, we have to pull ourselves together and be clear headed," he said when Moriah was beginning to cry again. Understanding his point, Moriah nodded and smothered her tears. Seeing that Moriah already calmed down, he guided her out of their room and went downstairs. They went to the dining room and forced themselves to eat their breakfast. They ate their breakfast in total silence as both of them were thinking about Dillon. Both, Moriah and Ethan went into the living room following breakfast. And waited for the call. As they were waiting for the kidnapper to call, Brandon and Fiona arrived. "Did they already call?" Brandon asked calmly so as not to make Moriah and Fiona worry too much. It was 9 in the morning when the phone in the mansion rang. Ethan picked the handset up right away. "Hello," he spoke coldly. "We have your son, don't contact the police if you want him alive. Ransom him with 5

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

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.

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.

"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.
