The sudden troubled look in Ezrah’s eyes raised Michelle’s concern as she walked with Ezrah to his car.As soon as they both sat, Ezrah opened up to her. “Piper sent thugs after Odette.”Michelle smiled bitterly, guessing the reason for the move. “Let me guess. She thought Odette was me.”Her smart way of thinking only made her more attractive to Ezrah.“Yes, but we couldn’t get her, though her thugs were apprehended. She must have a lot of money to be paying for all this. How much exactly did Rush pay her?” Ezrah thought aloud.For someone like him who was always willing to spend anything to get what he wanted, he did not see the same for the likes of Piper.However, she only stunned him, and Ezrah liked to do the chase. For as long as Piper remained on the face of the earth, he was not going to give up.“He said ten million,” Michelle revealed, and everything began to make sense to Ezrah. No wonder Piper had the means to pay the best to work with her.It was funny how she was spendi
“Ezrah, we are not married anymore,” Michelle reminded him without a hint of coldness in her tone. It sounded rather warm.“What if I want us to get married again?” Ezrah teased back, but Michelle’s expression was serious.“Ezrah, please don’t force it.”Ezrah leaned in closer to her, their gazes locked. “Zora, what’s wrong if two people in love share a kiss?”He could not endure walking her back to the set without it.Before Michelle could respond, her words were cut off by his lips. His tongue danced passionately with hers, his hand pressing the back of her head.Despite her initial resistance, she found herself responding to the kiss, feeling Ezrah’s body pressing against hers.Living apart from her for all these years and saving himself for her had not been easy for Ezrah.With erratic breathing, a moan escaped her as Ezrah’s fingers slipped into her shirt. Realization hit her, and she quickly pulled away.“I’m sorry,” Ezrah said insincerely, observing her flushed cheeks and face.
Another week passed, and Michelle was shooting her last scene.Coco was not in this scene, as her character had tragically been killed off as a sister who died in place of the FL.It was a sad shoot, and the final shoot was not so long. As soon as the shoot was over, Michelle ran over to Ezrah.All the production team were now used to seeing them together with the knowledge that they had been married before, but the question remained as to whether they would get back together.Edmund finally gave up totally, accepting defeat, and was also one of the people who made the others aware that Michelle had been married and divorced.Though privy to the rumors, Michelle was never upset with him as it was the truth.From the look of things and how Michelle and Ezrah easily got along, most of them were convinced that the couple would get back together, but others, especially the guys who tried to date Michelle before, thought otherwise.She could be a sweet friend, but matters of marriage turne
Michelle had thought about this for a long time, and after discussing it with Ezrah, she felt that now was the right time to reveal everything, even though Ezrah had not fully agreed to it.“Rush is receiving treatment and is doing well,” she hinted, and Ezrah caught on and responded.“You're not completely sure about that yet, Zora.” For as long as Ezrah was concerned, Rush was just afraid of going to prison or losing his inheritance so he had to see some form of true repentance to believe the latter.Also, he knew that Michelle had a soft spot for Rush because of her benefactor, Mr. Newman and could be blinded by it.Despite being busy with room service, Ezrah's ears were tuned in to the conversation between the sisters.Michelle agreed but asked, as she thought of a way to prove it.“What if I confirm it after speaking with him? Ezrah, he fears you, and we could test their relationship by having him sign some kind of bond of good behavior or something.”As Ezrah considered her sugg
The funeral was scheduled to kick off early the next day, so Michelle met with Rush upon his arrival at a restaurant close to the airport.She walked in with Ezrah, and from Rush’s table, her eyes were glued, trying to discern his reaction, but there was nothing of concern until Ezrah kissed Michelle on the lips for the next four seconds.When they broke from the kiss, Rush’s head was lowered as Ezrah said, “I will wait in the car.”Rush only lifted his head after Michelle sat in front of him. “So, when are you two getting married again?” he asked.Stunned by the question due to his earlier reaction, Michelle asked seriously, “Do you want me to give him a chance?”“It’s obvious you are still in love with him,” Rush responded curtly, not giving a direct answer.Michelle smiled and moved on to the next step of the game. “I was thinking of giving you a chance.”She saw the stunned look in Rush’s eyes before he shook his head.“Please stop it, Michelle. I know that you don’t love me. It’s
This whole situation was unexpected, and Rush would have been able to endure living alone if he had not seen her.Now that he saw her, she was already married to somebody else? Perhaps the only reason he got to meet her again was because of the funeral; otherwise, she would have still been in hiding.“You are married?” Rush’s voice shook, and tears fell from his eyes.Though he was hurt, how could he blame her after doing all the things his parents warned him not to do?He deserved everything that was coming to him. Odette was disheartened but continued to say,“Yes. That was last year. My husband is a surgeon and has an emergency. That is the reason he’s not here with me.”Well, he would just assume that she was dead like she faked for close to four years.“It’s alright. I wish you all the best. I did not deserve you anyway.”He turned around and began walking to the car he brought. As the driver opened the door, Odette stopped him. “Wait.”Rush stopped but did not turn around. Odette
Rush and Ezrah returned to the restaurant while Michelle and Odette waited in the car.“Rush, Michelle really went out on a limb to convince Odette to give you another chance,” Ezrah pointed out.If Rush reverted to his old ways, Ezrah and Michelle would bear the consequences.“I appreciate it, Ezrah. I won't hurt her again,” Rush assured.Ezrah knew Rush was sincere, but he recognized that there were psychological issues that needed to be addressed.“Well, I have a set of rules for you to follow.”A bodyguard handed him a document, which he slid over to Rush.“She has pledged not to cheat on you again, and it's also stated here. If you hurt her, she has the right to leave, and we will monitor her biweekly. If anything happens to her prematurely, you will be held accountable.”Rush smiled wryly. He acknowledged that he had lost control of his emotions before but was determined not to let it happen again.“This may not be necessary, but I'll sign it anyway. Have you heard anything about
As they arrived at the entrance of the clothing store, they were swarmed by media representatives, and Landon and his men had to ensure their safety from the paparazzi.Michelle, despite being a star, had never faced this kind of harassment except during premieres, and she wondered about the sudden interest in her otherwise mundane life.“That was close,” she sighed with relief once they were inside the safety of her clothing store.Ezrah was eager to start their two-week deal and didn't want to leave her side, fearing she might change her mind.“They are your fans. I thought you would want to talk to them,” he teased, realizing he hadn't heard much about her in gossip news.The shop manager came out to greet her, and as she responded to Ezrah’s teasing, she felt slightly nervous about returning to the same place where all her pains had originated.“I’m usually not harassed like this. Something must have triggered it.”“Welcome, ma’am,” the shop manager said, but Coco’s voice caught t
