"Be careful where you step, my wife!" Ezekiel was very attentive as we got out of the car, just coming from the hospital.I didn't know what to feel. "Ezekiel, I'm only three weeks pregnant. My belly doesn't even show yet.""Still!" His face didn't recover from its paleness. "W-We need to be extra careful, of course.""Of course, when my belly gets bigger, we need to be extra cautious. But the doctor said I'm healthy, so just by walking, our baby won't be in danger of falling, okay?" I clarified to him.But his nervousness and worry didn't diminish. "I should buy everything a woman needs during pregnancy!""Honey," I pinched his cheek. "All I need during my pregnancy is you by my side."He paused. "Then I should stop working—"I leaned in to capture his lips. I kissed him deeply and passionately before pulling away and giving him a sweet smile."You still need to work if you don't want us to starve."His mouth dropped open, as if on the verge of tears, and he looked at me, unable to c
We were at the beach with Ezekiel, watching Duziell play with Halaenna, Freya, Panying, and Danilo in the distance, accompanied by three guards secretly keeping watch.We were resting and enjoying the hot weather. The sand between my toes and the deep blue color of the sea brought a unique joy and peace to my heart.Vacations are so enjoyable. I can't remember the last time I experienced this."Wife, didn't you have a shoot here before for the Sirena?" Ezekiel asked with a smile, as if remembering something. "I remember this is where it was shot.""Huh?" I was taken aback. I looked around again. "Is it here? I don't remember, because I was only fifteen when I played one of the Sirenas." I couldn't help but be surprised. "Honey, really? You were such a fan of mine back then that you even know this?"He chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at me. "I can name every teleserye and movie you're in. You basically dominated my teenage years. That's why I'm crazy about you."My lip
"Ta-da! You look so beautiful!"My female makeup artist was delighted with her work."This is a work of art! Look at yourself in the mirror, girl!"I couldn't help but smile sweetly. When I faced the mirrored wall, I couldn't help but admire myself.Wearing a stunning and expensive white wedding gown, I could hardly recognize myself. My makeup enhanced my natural beauty even more.The way my heart beats now is full of happiness. I can't believe I'm really getting married to Ezekiel again! It's only been a month since he proposed, and here we are, preparing for this day!In fact, when we first got married, I didn't feel this way. Perhaps because I didn't know him back then, I was overwhelmed with sadness and despair. My mother had to force me to smile and pretend to be happy.But now, my heart is overflowing with joy; there's no room for anything else! I think I'll always remember this feeling."Serena, you look so beautiful! You're like an angel turned into a princess! You've even sur
The first woman Ezekiel loved was none other than his own mother.He treated Eliza with respect and honor. She was a wonderful mother to him, and all their memories together were truly happy moments of his childhood.She was the light of their home, so when she passed away, his world turned dark.He sat there in the corner of his room, surrounded by darkness, with no one to comfort him. No one was there but his own shadow.He mourned alone, drowning in his own tears; the heaviness in his chest was unbearable.And because he was a man, his father expected him not to show any emotions in front of people. That's when he started hiding and suppressing his true feelings behind his cold face.The insults he heard about Eliza from his own relatives and the rumors about his new stepmother, Elizabeth, didn't help either.He wanted to die because of the pain he felt at that moment. He always pretended to be ice-cold and unaffected by everything.But unexpectedly, while no one was watching the t
"How is Ezekiel after fainting?" Serena asked, concerned but amused after giving birth."Well, he got a bump on his forehead," Panying replied with a smile. "He's asking for ice from the nurse. Hahaha!"Serena burst into laughter. "Panying, I didn't know he couldn't handle it inside, but he insisted on being the emotional support. Turns out, he's the one who needs support during my delivery! Hahaha!""Seriously! He's brave when it comes to others, but he's weak when it comes to you. He fainted because of the stress and fear of seeing you in pain. He hasn't slept because he was nervous about your labor. Poor guy."Serena couldn't stop laughing despite her exhaustion and weakness due to Ezekiel's scene. "My poor love.""I'm fine!" Ezekiel exclaimed as he entered the hospital room. He took big steps towards Serena's bed to check on her. "My wife, are you feeling okay?""Pfft!" Serena noticed the redness and bump on her husband's forehead. "My love, what happened to you? Where's the ice p
"Veteran actress Serena Laurel marries full-time businessman and billionaire Ezekiel De Silva!"As I stared at the old newspaper headline and our wedding photo, tears couldn't help but fall from my eyes.It has been three years since I left him, ever since I witnessed his betrayal.In the three years of our married life, all I felt was pain and resentment towards him, all because I loved him.But my life with him was far better than my life with Brantley. Especially now that he has sold me to the black market to be feasted upon by wealthy people from different countries."Damn it! I've retouched your makeup so many times! Why are you still crying, you wench?! Do you really want no one to buy you?!""S-Sorry, ma'am."I quickly wiped away my tears as Madam Ging scolded me angrily. I threw away the newspaper and adjusted my posture.From behind, she faced me with a sneer. "I've been telling you, you wouldn't want no one to buy you in full, Jia. If the auction starts and no foreigner show
Five years ago..."You surprised everyone with the success of the hit television series 'The Wife's Illicit Affair'! Your portrayal as a married couple is truly convincing, right? The fans even say that there's a strong spark in the SereLey love team! What can you say about that?"Both Brantley and I laughed at the host's question, exchanging glances to see who would answer first. He gestured for me to go ahead."For me, well, first, I am very thankful for the fans of SereLey, who eagerly await each new episode and support Ley and me—it's really heartwarming to know that they are emotionally invested in every scene!" I said with a smile, glancing at Brantley beside me. "I don't know, but many people say that Ley and I have a real spark! It's definitely fun to know that our acting chemistry doesn't end on-screen!"Brantley chuckled and agreed with me. "Yeah, for the fans to praise us like that—it means a lot to me, especially since I'm working with a professional actress," he said, giv
"Take all of your clothes off and bend."That was the first thing Ezekiel said to me as soon as I entered our bedroom. My lips dropped open in shock."Excuse me? Can't I take a bath first? My breath still stinks!" I retorted.He turned to look at me, holding a glass of red wine. His hair was still wet, and he was only wearing a black bathrobe, as if he had been waiting for my arrival.Is he always this horny? No wonder he wants me to come home just for sex!"You will still have the same scent and taste, fresh or not.""No!" I widened my eyes and quickly walked into the bathroom.I undressed hastily and prioritized brushing my teeth before heading to the shower.Ezekiel De Silva and I have been married for two years. He is the renowned owner of Esabella Green Holdings, often featured in the news for his immense wealth in the country.My mother told me that he had an interest in me, and I held onto that when we got married. But who knows that I am just a replacement?His treatment of me
