The atmosphere changed instantly, and Ezrah’s nervousness grew, afraid of being rejected.

Well, Zora’s words were better than a rejection. “Ezrah, there is something I need to tell you first.”

Ezrah’s heart was beating fast, but he remained calm and said to her, “You know you can tell me anything.”

Zora nodded her head in agreement. Their relationship improved greatly after their reunion, especially in the aspect of communication.

“After I was discharged from the hospital after the accident, I never went back for a review like the doctor said.”

Ezrah did not know where this was going but urged her on. “I’m listening.”

Zora’s expression dulled with the information she was about to give him.

“Ezrah, I’m not sure that I can have a child again. I’ve been thinking about our sex life since we got back together. I should have been pregnant by now, but I took the test two days ago, and it was negative,” she said sadly. Ezrah was embittered.

It was all his fault. A pregnant woman needed protec

    Madison pushed a food trolley over to them and said, “My job is done. See you at the wedding.”Although she was supposed to report to work the next day, she hoped that Ezrah would let her off since there were things she could still do from home.Zora did not have to ask what Madison was doing there.It was clear that she was the master planner in everything, but with the pending wedding, Zora couldn't help but ask.“Does this mean you've already started your leave?”“Exactly,” Madison said, staring at Ezrah as she desperately appealed to his conscience. She loved her job, but this time around, she needed a break.“It’s okay. Bring in that guy you talked about tomorrow, and you can begin your leave after,” Ezrah finally relented to Madison’s request for a break.That guy was supposed to be Madison’s assistant, and she chose a male because Ezrah had informed her about the prank Zora had played on him with her secretary.He also knew that within the next one or two years, she would no lo

    At the old Gannon’s mansion, Ezrah’s father was watching the news, and his mother was in her room applying a facial mask when the security informed him.“Sir, it’s Mr. and Mrs. Henshaw. They said it’s urgent.”Mr. Gannon was upset, never expecting them to show their guilty faces.“Tell them I don’t want to see them.”Instead of the security ending the intercom, Jack’s voice was heard. “Mr. Gannon, I wanted to tell you something about Dr. Sam. I hope the name rings a bell?”He addressed Mr. Gannon formally to send the notion that he was aware things had changed, but Mr. Gannon froze instantly at the mention of that doctor’s name.Was he a scientist? Whatever he specialized in only brought disturbing memories to the middle-aged man’s mind.“Let me speak with my security.” As soon as he heard the familiar voice, he ordered. “Let them in.”“Let who in?” Mrs. Gannon, who was descending the stairs with her facial mask on, asked. Her husband swallowed bitterly but did not hide it from her.“I

    Mr. Gannon considered a plan, but getting Piper out of prison was not something he desired.Piper had become dangerous and was now a threat to everyone.“I have to go get my phone,” he said, heading upstairs to strategize, but Jack seemed to have anticipated his thoughts.“There is a phone on the table. Use it.”Mr. Gannon's fingers clenched into fists, his teeth gritting together. “This belongs to my wife.”“Is she no longer Ezrah’s mother?” Jack asked sarcastically, upsetting Ezrah's parents.Mr. Gannon gritted his teeth and picked up the phone. “If we inform him and he doesn’t agree, then it’s no longer our responsibility.”It would be as if they had made an effort and would not be accountable for any further consequences.However, a desperate man like Jack would always exploit any situation.“If he doesn’t agree, you can compensate us to have it destroyed.”Jack was thinking of using the money to hire good lawyers if things went as planned, not to harm the clone. He might need it l

    “What about the money? We can’t get to Ezrah’s parents for the money, so how do we pay Dr. Sam to keep silent about the whole thing?” Charity asked. Her husband thought for a while and smiled.“We shall get it from Ezrah’s brothers as well. They hate him and would love to get involved in anything that will bring him down.”***During the drive to the mansion, Ezrah made a call. “I told you to keep a close eye on the Henshaws, so what were they doing with my parents?” He asked in annoyance.Zora did not hear the response but only the anger resonating from his voice. Then he added,“I don’t want it to happen again, and I want Piper’s torture in the prison doubled. I don’t care if she dies.”If Piper died in prison, then her parents would have no reason to go around begging Ezrah’s parents for mercy.Zora was not moved to plead for Piper when she was the reason they lost their child. Sadly, Zora had not gotten pregnant again ever since then.If she had, then pity would have formed in her

    “Guess who decided to show up?” Lucas snarled, rushing towards Zora as soon as he spotted her descending the stairs, only to be intercepted by butler Rudolf.If he could just get her out of the mansion, things would be much simpler for him.However, he never anticipated that someone like a butler would stand in his way.Ezrah had never allowed his brothers into his home before, so this was a first. The reason for their sudden appearance was unknown to both butler Rudolf and Zora.“You are not supposed to approach her. Leave now, or I will call Mr. Gannon,” butler Rudolph spoke sternly, shielding Zora with his body.However, Ethan chuckled. “Why don’t you give it a try?”Both brothers were determined not to make it easy for Zora.Having managed to bypass the bodyguards by using their identities as Ezrah’s brothers, they didn't think a butler could stop them.Ezrah had instructed the security not to let anyone in, but since his brothers had never brought the fight to his doorstep, he ha

    “No woman has ever been able to make Ezrah do something so foolish. Did you bewitch him?” Lucas asked. Zora smirked, loving the shocked expressions on their faces.Ezrah was the only one qualified to get her out of his house, not his brothers.Since she had no idea where Ezrah was and what gave them the right to show their faces, she did not intend to make it easy for them.“With love, yes, but for now, I want you both out of here,” Zora said calmly, her expression stern, and butler Rudolf was liking her even more.She was the true Madam of the house, and the two men had nothing more to leverage, except to throw tantrums after dropping the drinking glasses.“Zora, you haven’t seen the last of us. We shall take back everything that belongs to us,” Lucas threatened.Then he paused and asked thoughtfully. “Has it ever occurred to you the reason why we hate Ezrah so much?”Zora frowned. She never thought about it, feeling it was just out of jealousy. “You tell me.”“Ezrah was the one who

    Last night, Jack made a call after confirming with his wife how they wanted to get the money. They instantly called Lucas on the phone.Lucas was having an argument with his wife because of their inability to conceive when his phone rang.He quickly answered it. “Hello, who is this?”“Lucas, this is Jack. I’m sorry to call you this late,” the familiar voice sounded over the line. Lucas was curious as he glared at his wife, who was still trying to process all the nasty things her husband had just told her.Having pinned all the blame on her when he refused to accompany her to the hospital to check what was wrong with them, her thoughts were too occupied to care about who was calling her husband at this late hour.“You wouldn’t call me at this time if it wasn’t important.” Lucas sat on the large bed, but there was a gap between him and his wife, who was coiled on the bed with her back turned to him.“That is true, but it’s about your brother, Ezrah,” Jack said, piquing Lucas’s interest.

    “Are you sure this clone can be controlled?” Lucas asked. The response was a swift “yes.”Satisfied, he decided to invest in it, especially when he would soon have the Gannon group at his beck and call.“Okay, text me the amount, and I will send it to you,” Lucas said, unaware that his wife had heard everything.When he received the cost involved, he could not foot it alone, as it was more than he perceived. So, he called Ethan to explain the situation.Pooling their resources together, they transferred the money to Jack, who called the doctor on the phone after receiving the transfer alert.Just by using his brains, he became a millionaire overnight. “Dr. Sam, I need Ezrah’s clone out,” he instructed.The doctor was uncomfortable with the request, feeling that things could go wrong and get him into trouble, so he asked,“What are you using him for?”Jack explained casually, “To impersonate his original. I will find a way to get Ezrah into your lab.”Dr. Sam was happy with that promis

    Congratulations, Mr. Newman. Your wife is one month pregnant," the doctor declared, the atmosphere filled with excitement. The bond they shared brought them unparalleled happiness, each genuinely happy for their friends, including little Esther. Zora and Madison spent time with Coco, leaving Esther with the men. The triplets were adorable, the boys taking after their father and the girl after her mother. "I swear, Zora, this is my first and last time. It hurts like a bitch," Coco said, as Zora and Madison laughed. "I heard women were designed for this. You did amazing, mama. Congratulations," Zora kissed her on the forehead and said. Months later, Zora and Ezrah welcomed their twins, Eugene and Eugenia Gannon, and five months after, Madison had a baby boy, Justin. Esther was the best big sister anyone could ask for. Ethan and Ethel welcomed a daughter, and a year later, they had twins, two girls. Lucas never remarried, unable to get over his ex-wife. One day, he received a messa

    The day before, Rush had called to inform Ezrah and Zora that he and Odette had a son. Due to the distance, they had not yet visited, and now, he was meeting Lake at the hospital without Coco by his side.“Ezrah, what are you doing here?” Lake asked, his joy radiating on his face, but Ezrah was surprised to see him so happy at the hospital.“My wife fainted, and what are you doing here? I don’t remember the hospital being a place for happy people.”Lake laughed and made a joyful revelation. “My wife had triplets. Two boys and one girl. I was just about to call you.”Ezrah recalled Lake wishing for triplets; it seemed he got his heart's desire and something to keep his parents busy.“Congratulations, Lake, you got what you always wanted.”“Yeah, we found happiness. Congratulations to us, but what’s wrong with Zora?” Lake asked again, his joy fading due to the news about Zora, but Ezrah’s explanation lifted his spirits.“I suspect she’s pregnant. She refused to take the pregnancy test, a

    “Lucas, you are insane. I will never choose you over Ethan, and I will never have anything to do with you again,” Ethel said through gritted teeth. Lucas was furious.“Then you leave me no choice,” he yelled and pulled the towel from her.She ran to seek cover in the closet, but he caught her and pulled her to his chest.Ethel felt ashamed and furious as her naked body pressed against his.She tried to free herself, but he was stronger and also drunk.“Why do you want to hide from me? We’ve had each other many times,” he cooed in her ear, but all she felt was disgust and anger.“We were married then, but not anymore. Just let me go,” she tried to push him away to no avail as he tried to force some alcohol down her throat.“I was ready to be kept on the side, but you refused.”After successfully getting the alcohol down her throat and watching her frown as he forced her to swallow it, his lips were closing in on hers.Ethel felt a burning sensation down her throat, and as a woman who n

    Chapter 318 – I loved you before, but not anymoreA week ago, Ethel arrived home with Ethan, but he was called away to take care of a few things because Ezrah was still on his honeymoon.The past month and a few weeks had been peaceful, and with Ethel moving in with Ethan, she had no need for a bodyguard. However, on this particular night, things did not seem the same after Ethan left.Unlike his brothers, Ethan never had his domestic staff live with him, but after his mansion is ready, that will change.They were not only planning their wedding but also their future together. All that they wanted for their kids, they wanted to ensure they had it in the mansion.Ethel had gone to shower after a tiring day at work only to find Lucas seated on her and Ethan’s bed.“Jesus, what are you doing here?” She halted in her steps, right in front of the shower room door.Lucas looked drunk, which made Ethel scared. Before she could reach for her phone to call Ethan, Lucas took it from her and inst

    “Why? Don’t you like it?” Ezrah asked teasingly. Zora screamed, “Like it? I love it, Ezrah. I’m a lover of pools, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.”She couldn’t take her eyes off her room. Everything was natural, with multiple pools scattered around.For the first time, words failed her when she tried to describe the aesthetics of the room.It looked as if it were carved out of natural rocks.Even the footsteps around were made of natural black stones, and the water was crystal clear. She could also see the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.“To clear up your confusion, we are at Papa’s beach, and this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. I thought you would love this as a honeymoon location.”Zora, though rich, had been too focused on business and revenge before. Honestly, she had never heard of this place.“I’m fascinated to be here.”“Great. Let me explain further. This is Calilo on the Greek Island of IOS. There are only 35 suites in this hotel, and each r

    The silence was thick in the air as everybody waited for Ethel’s response, which was not forthcoming.Feeling like he was just being used, Ethan had the understanding that she could not bring herself to trust him.“Dad, she doesn’t love me,” he said on behalf of Ethel. Lucas smiled, but his smile soon went stiff when Ethel responded.“I do, Ethan.”She saw Ethan freeze with a shocked look in his eyes and explained.“I mean, I never imagined having anything to do with my ex-husband’s kid brother, but I’m ready to give it a try.”“You do?” Ethan was so shocked that he lifted her in the air by the waist. “I love you so much, Ethel. I will prove it to you.”Their lips met once again, but they were rudely interrupted by Lucas. “Dad, how can you condone this? It’s shameful.”He could not believe how his submissive housewife could take an interest in his kid brother. This was unexpected.Ethel should have rejected Ethan and not this. However, his mother spoke this time.“You know what, Lucas

    “Kate?” Lucas turned in the direction of Ethel’s gaze, calling out accusingly, but Kate made a 180-degree turn and was headed to the exit when the man she came with blocked her.It was obvious that she was trying to escape the accusation, but everyone was interested in hearing what she had to say.Homewreckers were not exactly welcome at occasions like this, as every woman with a man of her own began to get protective.“You seem to be running away,” the man she came with said, not pleased by the revelation.Lucas walked towards her and questioned, “Did you kick her in the stomach?”Kate was covered in so much shame that her lips trembled because of all the gazes on her and replied, “It was an accident.”“No, it wasn’t,” Ethel interrupted, not upset but wanting to prove a point.“You said I didn’t deserve to carry his child because he didn’t love me. You were right because he divorced me,” Ethel smiled, no longer feeling the pain of losing her scum husband.Only Lucas had a pained expr

    From a distance, Ezrah and Zora watched everything unfold.“Lucas, I need to put him in his place. Can you give me a moment?” Ezrah was about to go to the scene of the incident when Zora held him back.“No. Didn't you say that Ethan seemed genuine with his feelings? Let’s see how he handles this situation.”Ezrah was unsure if Ethan could come out of this cleanly, reminding Zora,“You told me to protect Ethel or better still, let me get her bodyguard.”Zora shook her head. “Sometimes, the heart doesn’t know what it wants until the opportunity presents itself. Let Ethan deal with it.”Ezrah smiled and relented. “Alright. If you say so.”They heard Lucas mocking Ethan and Ethel. “Why? Can’t you kiss your woman? Sebastian has kissed Madison like three times already, even though they aren’t the bride and groom.”Indirectly, he was taking away the opportunity for Ethan to use the event as an excuse for his inability to kiss Ethel.“Lucas, how we choose to define our relationship is none of

    Everyone was excited for Ezrah and Zora, and right after the cake cutting, the couple's dance was announced.Ezrah and Zora had just left the dance floor and were speaking to some guests when other couples took over.Ethan saw it as the perfect opportunity to dance with Ethel, but there were other men eyeing her as well, and they were not afraid to show it.To make matters worse, they reached her before him.“Hi, I’m Rick,” one of them said. Ethan didn't recognize him from their company, which could mean he might be one of Zora’s co-stars.Ethan didn't like this but knew he had to be a gentleman to win Ethel's favor.“Ethel,” she responded with a forced smile, trying to be polite, and somehow, she was glad to see Ethan nearby.It was Ezrah’s birthday, and his focus would only be on his wife. Her bodyguard was there to protect her from danger, not lovers, so he was with the other bodyguards.The only man she had loved all her life was Lucas, and she had never had the chance to mingle b
