Bringing home a man with her caused a stir in the villa, the butler and some bodyguards were startled and murmured. Just the other day she went hysterical and insisted that her husband is alive. Now, she came home with a man and they were acting intimate. The butler quirked his eyebrows looking at the departing back of Moriah and the man who held her waist possessively. Due to exhaustion Moriah and Ethan slept until 9 in the morning. "Jim, did Moriah come back?" Fiona asked the butler. Jim gulped audibly at Fiona's question, he debated whether to tell her what he saw. Eventually he made up his mind to tell her. "Madam, she came back in the wee hours, but…" he paused and thought how to say it. "But what, Jim?" Fiona asked. "She brought a man with her. And they look intimate," Jim said softly with his head hung low. "What?" Fiona sprang up from the couch like a scalded cat. "She came home with a man," Jim repeated, his head still hanging low. Fiona went upstairs and marched to
Moriah looked up to him with probing eyes. She felt her heart plummeting into an abyss of uncertainty when he evaded her eyes. "Why do I feel something's amiss?" Moriah murmured to herself, but Ethan clearly heard her. Ethan took a deep long breath. "Moriah, there's nothing wrong," he said assuringly but Moriah shook her head. "But why did I feel you were tense when I asked about the man who helped you?" Moriah couldn't hold back as her emotion was all over the place. The tone of her voice indicated that she's about to break down. Ethan understood the ordeal she has been through after the plane crash. "Calm down, baby," he hugged her. "I'm assuring you, nothing is wrong, okay?" Moriah squirmed away from him as she was plagued by doubts. "Don't try to hide something from me Ethan. When I give you the opportunity to tell me the truth, tell me, even when it hurts, I will forgive you, but if you choose not to say it, I won't be able to forgive you," her voice was soft and non threa
Knowing the ordeal she went through, but persevered in the face of challenges and helped the company stabilize despite it all, Ethan felt blessed having married a brave woman like her. Who could have known that a delicate woman like her could soldier on? Pride welled up in his heart. “You made me proud,” Ethan said against her head. Moriah looked at the man and smiled. Ethan caught sight of the playful smile plastered on her face. “Why are you smiling like that?” “I remembered, Jim and the bodyguards, they might be thinking that I have already found a man to replace you,” Moriah giggled as she pictured the looks on their faces. “Is it alright for you to be misunderstood?” Ethan asked with furrowed brows. “I would do anything and endure being misunderstood just to make sure that those responsible for the plane crash will be sent to jail,” Moriah's face was like a flint as she spoke. “They tried to kill you, I won’t let them off the hook.” To be loved by his woman more than he
Moriah let him sit at the edge of the bathtub and then she stood up and wore a robe. "Don't worry, it's nothing," Ethan said to her. Moriah's heart calmed down as she knew that a person tends to get dizzy when standing abruptly. "Are you pissed off with me?" Moriah asked teasingly as Ethan got out of the bathtub and wore his robe. "Why would I be?" Ethan's lips quirked as he spoke and held Moriah's waist. "Why did you suddenly get up if you're not pissed off?" "That is to…" Ethan swept her into his arms. Bewildered, after being lifted without warning, Moriah asked, "You.. What are you doing?" Ethan roared in laughter seeing how adorable his wife was. He was laughing as he carried her out of the bathroom and placed her in front of the dresser. He blew dry her hair. And it took him a while to completely dry her hair because it was thick and long. Moriah's eyes did not stray from the man who gently blew dry her hair, following every movement he made. Thinking of the time he wen
She reached out to touch his face and stuttering she said, "Baby, I - I know you missed me so much and can't get enough of me. But, we have visitors waiting for us." Ethan looked at her with puppy eyes. He looked adorable, Moriah found herself, promising something she would regret later. "Alright, after they leave. I'm at your mercy." Ethan smirked and walked to the door. "Better, keep your promise." Moriah slapped her forehead. She easily fell into his trap whenever he acted cute. She better not look at him when using a puppy eye look, she just can't resist him. Moriah reached out for the door knob and opened the door. They walked into the living hand in hand with faces full of smiles. The executives looked at the couple approaching them with the fingers interlocked. Obviously, the couple were so in love with each other. Their eyes were shining as though they contained all the stars in the vast universe. "Madam, are you trying to make us envious? I feel like going home to see
The following day, in Bryan's apartment, he was woken up by loud bangings at the door. He cursed under his breath and the blond woman beside him stirred as he got up from the bed. Pissed off, he went to check who was banging his apartment door. "What the — " he was unable to finish his sentence as guns were pointed at him. He lifted his hands in shock."Bryan Miller, you are under arrest," the police officer seized and handcuffed him. On the other part of London, there were also arrests that were happening and some of Bryan's cohorts were dead as they fired at the police while they tried to escape. Bryan immediately spotted Moriah as soon as the police dragged him from the vehicle. He sneered. Someone told him that she was a weak and emotional woman that they could use as leverage against her. He underestimated this woman.When they were inside, Bryan smiled at her provocatively and Moriah's anger flared. A palm came across Bryan's face that turned his head sideways due to the for
"Dad is coming here," Ethan said while they cuddled each other. "Are you going to tell him every single thing your brother did to you?" Moriah asked as she didn’t know what he was planning to tell his dad. “Yes,” a surge of emotion swept over his heart, knowing that it would be hard for his father to accept it, but he had no choice but to tell him everything. His brother wouldn't stop and will persuade Brandon to help him out of jail. If he wouldn't tell Brandon, he would surely take Bryan out of jail. Brandon did it several times. He bailed Bryan out of jail. Ethan carefully got up from the bed, not wanting to wake her up as she had been tired for the past few days. Any time soon, Brandon will be arriving, so Ethan had a quick shower and got dressed. Then, he went downstairs to wait for his dad. Lei and Sophie were playing with Dillon in the living room. "Is Moriah having a nap?" Sophie asked, she rarely sees Ethan without Moriah by his side when they’re home. They were always
In a loud voice, Brandon asked in shock, “What did you say?” Moriah, who had just come into the room, was startled and jumped. She could hear the loud thudding of her heart. Ethan came near his startled wife and gathered her in his arms. “Brandon, calm down,” Fiona said when she saw Moriah’s pale face. “Are you okay?” Ethan asked while she nestled in his arms. “Mm,” she hummed. Ethan steered her gently towards the couch and they sat side by side. Brandon took a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Is he the one who plotted against you?” Ethan pursed his lips and handed the box to his father. The evidence he kept for a long time and the new evidence collected by Lei. Brandon’s hands were trembling while looking at the evidence. Ethan persuaded him to hear the audio recording. By the time he finished hearing the recording, he clutched his chest. “Brandon!” Fiona called in panic. Moriah neared Brandon and asked, “Dad, do you have chest - pain?”“Yes.... I.... Can’t breathe,” he
