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.

Ethan asked for the recorded video for the past hour.

In recorded footage, the nanny took Dillon to t

    "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

    Bryan pulled the trigger, Moriah heard a loud gunshot, seconds later she saw Ethan fall backwards. She was so shocked that she couldn't scream. After a microsecond she heard a gunshot, as Bryan's grip loosened Moriah looked at him and saw a bullet mark on Bryan's forehead. Hazel bellowed and lunged into Moriah as she threw Dillon. "You bitch, I will kill you." Everything happened so fast. The fear, anguish and shock of seeing Ethan lying lifeless on the floor and Dillon being thrown in the air was like crashing waves overwhelming her. Something snapped in her mind and everything went black. For an indefinite amount of time Moriah was unconscious. When she opened her eyes, she was stupefied to see a handsome man looking intently at her. "You're awake," she heard the man's magnetic voice. Moriah frowned at the man. "What are you doing here? Did you come here with Shaun? Where is Shaun? " The series of questions she fired made Ethan frown. "Baby, why are you asking about Shaun?" Et

    Shaun chuckled awkwardly and helplessly looked at Ethan. Then a pin drop silence enveloped the place for an unknown time. Afterwards, Shaun told everything to Moriah and didn't hide a single thing from her. Chelsea wasn't surprised at all as Shaun told her everything about his relationship with Moriah. After hearing Shaun's narration, Moriah was pensive for a while. "Did I fall in love with him?" Moriah asked Shaun as she pointed at Ethan. She didn't ask Ethan, afraid that he would lie to him. "Yes, you did," Shaun chuckled. "You're so madly in love with him that I had no chance taking you back from him." Observing Shaun's reaction, Moriah knew that Shaun was telling the truth to her. She looked at the man who was quietly sitting next to her. "How about you, did you fall in love with me after we got married?" She was desperate to fill the gap in her memory. If she can't remember it at least she had a knowledge of what transpired in that almost three years of marriage. Ethan coul

    Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Moriah's mind went haywire. Her mind was clouded that she was unable to think what to do. His kiss was gentle and enticing all at the same time. It wasn't long before he persuaded Moriah to kiss him back. Ethan lifted her hands and let them wrap around his neck, he then grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him to close the distance between them. Moriah snapped back out of her daze, unwound her arms from his neck and struggled to avoid his passionate kiss. However, Ethan wouldn't let her go. "Ethan, stop it," she pushed his chest. Finally, Ethan regained his rationale even though he was close to losing it. He stopped and moved his lips to her face. He seemed a bit lost and his breathing labored. "I miss you, love." Despite her being with him physically, the fact that Moriah couldn't remember their relationship, Ethan felt that they're thousands of miles away. Moriah felt a sting in her heart seeing his sad countenance. "Please, give me e

    Ethan held Moriah's hand and guided her to the stairs, she felt as though her foot weighed a hundred pounds each as they walked towards their bedroom. "We take a shower first before going to our son as we just came from the hospital," Ethan steered her to the bathroom. Moriah stood frozen when she was inside the bathroom with Ethan. "E - Ethan… a - are we going to have a shower together?" Her stuttering clearly told him that she wasn't comfortable with the idea. If it was before she lost her memory, he was certain that he could change her mind. But, with her current condition, he had no choice but to stifle his desire. After they had taken a shower separately, Ethan took her to the nursery room. The moment she heard Dillon call Ethan, 'Da, da' her heart skipped a beat. The child's voice was like music to her ears. The nanny came out of the room when Ethan and Moriah came into the room. "Son," Ethan Dillon in his arms, joy welling up his heart. Once again, they're complete. After

    Sadness flickered in Ethan’s eyes and was quiet for a few seconds. Moriah saw his sadness, she was jittery that Ethan was quiet and contemplating. “I’ll use the couch, you sleep on the bed,” though the mansion has so many spare rooms he can’t use any of them not wanting to create a rumor. The servant would talk about it when they learned that he slept in another room. “No, you won’t be comfortable there. I’ll use the couch,” Moriah insisted. “Do you think, I will allow you to stay on the couch,” how could he let his beloved wife on the couch? And now that she is carrying their second child, will he have the heart to see her sleep on the couch overnight? He wanted to tease her that they sleep on the same bed so he would be comfortable, but decided against it, knowing that she was jittery. “Go and sleep,” he brushed his knuckles on her cheek. Moriah sauntered towards the bed and slipped under the duvet. Due to pregnancy, Moriah fell asleep in no time. In the dead of night, Moriah w

    Moriah woke up in the wee hours and was baffled to see Ethan sleeping on the couch. She was confused. Last night he was saddened that she was unwilling to sleep on the same bed with him. But, when she told him that it's okay to sleep in one bed, he still slept on the couch. What's the matter with this man? She tiptoed and covered him with a blanket and went back to sleep. The following morning she woke up, Ethan was no longer in the room. She had a shower and went into the nursery room thinking that he was there for Dillon. Dismay filled her heart when she didn't see Ethan, instead a nanny was taking care of Dillon. "Where's my husband?" Moriah asked the nanny. "Sir, went to the company early in the morning," the nanny told Moriah while she changed Dillon's nappy. "What's your name?" She asked the nanny. The nanny was surprised that Moriah asked her name. She had been one of Dillon's nannies. She and Nora look after Dillon. "Lily, madam," she smiled stiffly. She had no idea th

    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?"

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.

    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.

    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.
