Shaun smirk and replied, "Unlike other women, Moriah is beautiful from the inside out. Some women thought that outward appearance would get a man's attention. They would dress in a manner that left nothing to the imagination. Moriah isn't one of them, that's why I fell in love with her."

Hazel could tell from Shaun's tone that what he said was an indirect attack to her.

Ethan looked at Shaun with a bone chilling gaze, Shaun didn't mind his icy cold stare.

“Moriah is not only a beauty, she’s a beauty with a brain, unlike others,” Cindy chimed in, Hazel was livid but she wasn’t deterred to do her purpose.

"You guys dated for how long?" Hazel asked, so she could drive a wedge between Ethan and Moriah.

"Over a decade," Shaun answered.

Zachary was relieved to see the server pushing the trolley inside the room.

"The food is here," he said, to put an end to Hazel’s inquiry.

Moriah let out a soft sigh, thankful that the server came just at the right time.

She felt that Ethan would exp

    Ethan noticed the gloom in his wife's eyes. Though he regretted saying those words to her. He never showed it. Not wanting to make things difficult for Moriah, Shaun said his goodbye and left. Moriah wanted to pull her hand from his grip, but chose not to. She had no energy left to have an argument with him. The emotional turmoil within her was taking its toll on her. An uncomfortable silence enveloped the car as they were heading home. "We are going to Manchester tomorrow," Ethan said, interrupting the silence. "I can't, I had only reported yesterday," Moriah said, shaking her head. "You don't want to leave because of Shaun? Am I right?" Ethan acted like an ogre. Moriah couldn't take any longer and burst into tears. She cried until they reached home. Her tears resulted in blurry eyes, hence she bumped into George upon entering the mansion. Ethan caught her in the nick of time. And lifted her in his arms, his movements deft. Moriah buried her face in his chest, still crying, we

    "Dad, why don't you give the company to my half brother?" Ethan deliberately changed the subject, unwilling to discuss the subject further. "He isn't fit to take over the company. I've given him enough time to prove himself worthy of handling the company but he failed me." Brandon said and faced the French window, looking outside. "Son, your grandfather started this company, it's his legacy and I want it to continue, giving the reins to your brother, this company will sink in no time." After nearly an hour, Fiona came into the study. "Your wife is ready," Fiona said to his son. Just as Ethan was reaching for the door knob, Fiona spoke, "Son, take care of your wife. She's precious." Ethan froze for a moment and turned to look at his mother's eyes. "I will." He heard his mother let out a sigh when he was about to leave. Stepping into the room, Ethan froze and stopped dead. He saw Moriah standing near the French window, looking outside. Ethan surveyed her, the white business sui

    They arrived at the hotel shortly before ten. Numerous men and women from the business society were present to witness the handover ceremony. After the ceremony, Moriah felt light headed. She stood beside Ethan while men and women from the corporate world expressed their felicitation. Little by little, her vision started to blur and her surroundings spinning. She grasped Ethan's arm. Ethan looked at her when she held onto his arm tightly. Her face was bleached, her gaze not quite focused. Alarmed, he asked, "What's wrong?" "Ethan, I think I'm going to collapse at any minute," she replied, tightening her grip. Ethan lifted her in his arms which attracted attention. His mom and dad quickly came over. "What happened to her?" Fiona frantically asked. "She felt like passing out," Ethan replied, worry was written all over his face. "Take her to the hospital," Brandon spoke, but unlike Fiona his voice was calmer. "Take me home, Ethan," Moriah said softly. "What? Take her to the hos

    "Mom and dad, are waiting," Ethan gave her a boyish grin, making Moriah gasp. She always finds herself gasping for air each time he smiles like that. They emerged from the bathroom and found Brandon and Fiona seated on the loveseat. "Mom, dad," Moriah smiled, her heart was moved to see how they cared for her. "Are you alright, dear?" Fiona asked as she scrutinized Moriah's appearance. She looked pale and frail. "You don't have to worry, mom and dad. Ethan had been taking care of me, I was just too stubborn and refused to eat breakfast…really I'm fine," Moriah tried her best to persuade them so they would stop worrying. "Okay, if you said so, we believe you," Fiona said and rose to her feet. "We'll have dinner at the villa tonight. We'll take our leave now so you can have your needed rest." "See you tonight," Moriah said and hugged Fiona. "See you, dear," Fiona said, stroking Moriah's back. Soon after his parents left, Ethan swept her in his arms. Moriah squealed. "Did you m

    Ethan handed her the blueberry cheesecake and the bubble tea. She ate the blueberry cheesecake as if it was the cure to her aching heart. She smiled once she drank the bubble tea. Now, she understood Cindy. Food can be some sort of comfort to the heartbroken. However, she thought of the repercussions of seeking solace in food, gaining weight and the tendency to become obese. As a doctor she has to maintain a healthy lifestyle. She laughed inwardly, is she having a healthy lifestyle now that she was on an emotional roller coaster? She had to pull herself together in order to be sound and healthy. Ethan carefully paid attention to her. He had never seen that kind of smile plastered on her face just now. He had a haunch that there were ideas simmering in the back of her mind. "Let's have a shower," Ethan said, bringing her back to reality. "You go ahead, I'll have a shower after you," she said, smiling.The smile she's giving him bothered him so much. He sat beside her and asked, "

    "Three days, Hazel and Cameron will come with me," Ethan answered, watching her reaction. "Okay," she gave her a smile, the kind of smile that makes him perplexed. Ethan wanted to ask what's with the smile but was afraid to ask it. "I'll have to call mama and baba," Moriah wiped the corner of her mouth and put down the napkin on the table. She left when Ethan nodded, giving her permission to leave. That night Ethan hadn't let go of her until he was sated. It was already dawn when they succumbed to slumber. Morning came, Moriah got up and found no trace of Ethan in their room. Checking the clock on the nightstand, it was already 8 in the morning. Moriah hurriedly had a shower and dressed for work. Moriah did her rounds and checked on his patients. At last the seemingly endless queue of patients came to an end. Moriah was getting ready to go home when Shaun arrived. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Moriah asked, she couldn't help but frown. "Unhappy to see me?" Shaun sounded hu

    Immediately, once they landed in Shanghai, Moriah phoned Dylan and asked for the address of the hospital. Moriah's tears kept pouring down as they were walking towards the ICU. She wept when she saw Dylan. "Dy," she sobbed and Dylan gathered her in his arms. "Everything will be alright," Dylan said, comforting her and himself as well. "What happened, why did they have an accident?" Moriah asked when her sobbing subsided. "They went to have dinner and when they were heading home, a dump truck collided with the car," Dylan shuddered while speaking. "The dump truck driver was intoxicated." Moriah went into the ICU. Her tears started to cascade down her face again. "Baba, please don't leave your princess," she said and held her father's hand. She cried in joy when her father's eyelid fluttered. "Baba, I love you." She crouched down and planted a kiss on Jianyu's hand. She couldn't kiss his forehead as it was covered with bandages. Afterwards, she went to her mother. "Mama, y

    Five minutes later the doctor declared that Anastacia was dead. As if Jianyu had heard that his beloved wife was dead, he started to convulse. Moriah felt her heart sink into the abyss of grief, seeing her father shaking. "Baba, I know you love mama and can't live without her. Baba, don't worry about your princess. I'm alright," Moriah whispered, letting go of her dad. Right after she said those words, Jianyu breathed his last. The doctors did all they could do to revive him but failed. Moriah felt her world cave in, seeing both the lifeless bodies of her parents. She hugged Shaun and wept bitterly. Shaun stroked her back while he silently cried with her. He wasn't just grieving because of Moriah, but because Jianyu and Anastacia had been kind to him while he and Moriah were dating. Ethan practically exploded upon seeing Moriah and Shaun hugging. His jealousy got the better of him and had not noticed that Moriah was crying. He dragged Moriah away from Shaun. "What are you d

    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

"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.

    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

"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.

    "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.
