Chapter 2 Climb Out Of Hell

Time froze all of a sudden.

Maurice Moran looked down at the child clinging to his leg.

The little girl was adorable. Her face was pink and her eyes formed two perfect crescent moons. Maurice could see his reflection in her cute eyes.

Caught in a daze, he found himself unable to take his eyes off her.

He had never seen such a cute child before. In fact, he found her so adorable that he wanted to whisk her away right then and there.

When he came to his senses, he asked the little girl gently, "Where's your mother?"

On the other side of the airport, Eliana was in a panic, looking for her missing children.

All of a sudden, she heard a familiar man's voice coming from behind her.

"Eliana!"

Eliana stopped in her tracks.

Upon turning around, she saw a man holding a large bouquet of bright roses, staring right at her.

She then took off her sunglasses and saw the man's face clearly.

It was none other than Asher.

Her heart seemed to stop in her chest and the blood in her body froze. She could have recognized that voice anywhere, even in hell.

Eliana turned around and slowly took off her sunglasses. She got a good look at the man's handsome face.

"Eliana, oh, my God! It's really you..."

Asher wondered if he was dreaming. He couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch the beautiful face he thought about day and night.

"What the hell are you doing?"

A shrill scream interrupted their exchange.

It wasn't until then that Asher withdrew his hand, as if he had just been violently woken up from a pleasant dream.

Eliana looked in the direction of the scream. A playful smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

This was perfect! Asher and Erica!

Her enemies had gathered together, which saved her the effort.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, bitch? How dare you seduce my husband? You-"

Erica abruptly fell silent. Her eyes went as wide as saucers as she pointed at Eliana in horror, completely unable to speak.

'Is this the ghost of Eliana? Hasn't she thrown Eliana into the raging sea herself?'

"Eliana, is that you? Are you a ghost or are you human?"

Eliana raised her eyebrows. The corners of her bright red lips curved up slightly. She did look like a hauntingly beautiful ghost.

"Death didn't take me in. Instead, he let me climb out of hell to find you."

Her words sent a shiver down Erica's spine, and goose bumps formed all over her body.

The scene from five years ago was still vivid in her mind. She had plucked Eliana's fingers off the rope one by one until she let go and plummeted to the sea.

Did Eliana really come to take revenge?

The thought made Erica tremble.

Asher didn't seem to notice that Erica was acting strange. He just stared at Eliana obsessively, wanting nothing but to hold her hand.

"Eliana, I'm so glad you're alive. This time, we'll never be separated again, okay?"

Still smiling, Eliana took a step closer to Asher, which made his heart race.

However, the next moment, he was slapped on the face-hard.

Rubbing her reddened palm, Eliana said flatly, "Don't talk nonsense. Tell me, were you involved in the bankruptcy of the Pierce Group?"

Asher was stunned by the slap, and panic was written all over his face when he heard Eliana's question. Before he could think straight, he blurted out, "How did you know?"

Eliana sneered coldly and remarked, "Ask your wife."

Asher looked at Erica and narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously.

"Eliana, don't try to ruin my good name!" Erica wrung her hands anxiously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an emergency notice. There is a boy named Adrian Pierce and a girl named Aileen Pierce here at the airport service hall. Will the children's parents please come and fetch them as soon as possible? Again, this is an emergency notice..."

Adrian, Aileen!

Hearing the broadcast, Eliana ditched those scumbags of a couple and ran to the service hall as fast as she could.

Asher seemed to want to follow her, but Erica stopped him. He watched Eliana run off, lost in thought for a long time.

Seeing the longing on her husband's face, Erica gritted her teeth with hatred.

As soon as Eliana arrived at the service hall, she saw Aileen and Adrian sitting on two chairs.

"Oh, my babies! I was so scared. I thought I was gonna lose you both."

She hurriedly went to hug them. "Where did you two run off to?"

"I was looking for our daddy!" Aileen said with excitement in her tone.

"Daddy? Who?" Eliana was stunned.

"This is all Aileen's fault. She saw a good-looking guy earlier and called him 'daddy'," Adrian grumbled.

Upon hearing that, Eliana became worried about her daughter's impulsive behavior.

"Aileen, don't ever do that again. It's dangerous. Do you understand?"

Aileen nodded obediently.

Eliana sighed and bowed to the staff beside her.

"Sorry to have troubled you. Who sent the kids here? I'd like to thank him for his kindness."

The staff smiled at her and replied, "Your children are so lucky to have met a kindhearted prominent man. The CEO of the Moran Group was the one who brought them here."

Eliana's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She grabbed her kids and ran out, causing the twins to get scared.

But by the time she ran out, the man was already gone. All she saw was a Maybach driving past them.

There was a man sitting inside the car. When he passed them by, he rolled up the car window.

The Maybach soon disappeared, and Eliana didn't even get to see his face clearly.
