"Police officers are downstairs," Ethan said after a while and caressed her face. "Love, we have to pull ourselves together and be clear headed," he said when Moriah was beginning to cry again. Understanding his point, Moriah nodded and smothered her tears. Seeing that Moriah already calmed down, he guided her out of their room and went downstairs. They went to the dining room and forced themselves to eat their breakfast. They ate their breakfast in total silence as both of them were thinking about Dillon. Both, Moriah and Ethan went into the living room following breakfast. And waited for the call. As they were waiting for the kidnapper to call, Brandon and Fiona arrived. "Did they already call?" Brandon asked calmly so as not to make Moriah and Fiona worry too much. It was 9 in the morning when the phone in the mansion rang. Ethan picked the handset up right away. "Hello," he spoke coldly. "We have your son, don't contact the police if you want him alive. Ransom him with 5

Bryan pulled the trigger, Moriah heard a loud gunshot, seconds later she saw Ethan fall backwards. She was so shocked that she couldn't scream. After a microsecond she heard a gunshot, as Bryan's grip loosened Moriah looked at him and saw a bullet mark on Bryan's forehead. Hazel bellowed and lunged into Moriah as she threw Dillon. "You bitch, I will kill you." Everything happened so fast. The fear, anguish and shock of seeing Ethan lying lifeless on the floor and Dillon being thrown in the air was like crashing waves overwhelming her. Something snapped in her mind and everything went black. For an indefinite amount of time Moriah was unconscious. When she opened her eyes, she was stupefied to see a handsome man looking intently at her. "You're awake," she heard the man's magnetic voice. Moriah frowned at the man. "What are you doing here? Did you come here with Shaun? Where is Shaun? " The series of questions she fired made Ethan frown. "Baby, why are you asking about Shaun?" Et

Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Moriah's mind went haywire. Her mind was clouded that she was unable to think what to do. His kiss was gentle and enticing all at the same time. It wasn't long before he persuaded Moriah to kiss him back. Ethan lifted her hands and let them wrap around his neck, he then grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him to close the distance between them. Moriah snapped back out of her daze, unwound her arms from his neck and struggled to avoid his passionate kiss. However, Ethan wouldn't let her go. "Ethan, stop it," she pushed his chest. Finally, Ethan regained his rationale even though he was close to losing it. He stopped and moved his lips to her face. He seemed a bit lost and his breathing labored. "I miss you, love." Despite her being with him physically, the fact that Moriah couldn't remember their relationship, Ethan felt that they're thousands of miles away. Moriah felt a sting in her heart seeing his sad countenance. "Please, give me e

Sadness flickered in Ethan’s eyes and was quiet for a few seconds. Moriah saw his sadness, she was jittery that Ethan was quiet and contemplating. “I’ll use the couch, you sleep on the bed,” though the mansion has so many spare rooms he can’t use any of them not wanting to create a rumor. The servant would talk about it when they learned that he slept in another room. “No, you won’t be comfortable there. I’ll use the couch,” Moriah insisted. “Do you think, I will allow you to stay on the couch,” how could he let his beloved wife on the couch? And now that she is carrying their second child, will he have the heart to see her sleep on the couch overnight? He wanted to tease her that they sleep on the same bed so he would be comfortable, but decided against it, knowing that she was jittery. “Go and sleep,” he brushed his knuckles on her cheek. Moriah sauntered towards the bed and slipped under the duvet. Due to pregnancy, Moriah fell asleep in no time. In the dead of night, Moriah w

Moriah's felt as though her heart was being wrung out. "Okay, I'll hang up now," not giving him a chance to respond she ended the call. Moriah looked at the family photo on her phone. Ethan set it as her wallpaper. The joy radiating on their faces is undeniable. It was clear that they were happy and in love with each other. What went wrong? What caused this sudden shift in his attitude towards her? Moriah racked her brain to find an answer, but she couldn't figure out the answer. Moriah called George to prepare her a light meal and send it over to her. She revealed to George that she was pregnant and had to eat something that she won't throw up. George was delighted with the news. An hour later, George personally went to the hospital to bring her lunch. "Madam, eat it. It's good for you and the baby," George couldn't contain the happiness he felt. The mansion will become livier as a new child will be added to the family. "Thanks uncle George, you can head back home," Moriah said
