The next few weeks passed peacefully for Chris and Emile while the final preparations for the banquet for celebrating the 50th year of the Walter Empire were being completed; No effort or expense was spared in preparing the banquet of the era where all partners regardless of how small or how big the partnership was, were invited with the same etiquette nor were any dignitaries forgotten.

Emile and Nola were responsible for making sure their family were the best dressed and were completely wiped out by the time they finished everyone’s outfit; House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions stopped taking new orders in the month leading up to banquet.

Emile and Nola decided to modify the trend of couple dressing to family dressing; Embroidery done in the darker or lighter shade of their cloth with a fine silver border was the common theme while the ladies dresses had more embellishments. The other common feature was the style and colour scheme.

While Emile’s end was busy yet peaceful, not ev

  • Never to look back   He can try if he doesn’t want his life.

    Daniel had no idea how he came back to his hotel room, nor did he know how long he slept for. He sat in his bed in the hotel room looking at George with a confused gaze. He stared at George for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to ask “Is the court hearing really over? Did I ….”“Boss, let’s go home.” George spoke in a dejected tone.“Home???” Daniel’s lips curled down in self-ridicule “Do I have one anymore?”“Boss, we missed this boat. Let’s not delve on it….” George paused as he wasn’t sure if Daniel was listening, he observed Daniel’s reaction and slowly opened his mouth once again once he confirmed that Daniel had heard what he said.“Boss, shall I book our return flights?”“Um” Daniel nodded before stopping him “Wait…. I want to see my kids one last time…. even if I have to beg that arrogant bastard.” The last part of his sentence was said under his breath in a whisper.George didn’t think this was a good idea, but he complied considering his boss’s state.Daniel got Ge

    Daniel didn’t know how to respond; he looked at them helplessly before speaking in a low voice “I don’t know what Mr Walter told you.” Daniel couldn’t get himself to call Chris as their father… that title was his… he paused as he gathered his thoughts looking at the duo that were red with anger, with a gaze filled with love.“But know this, I didn’t… I never said I didn’t want you nor did I say I hate you.” Daniel looked at Chris Jnr who was an exact replica of his younger self as he repeated “I didn’t know you existed. Otherwise, I would have bought you home earlier.”“Do you think you can fool us just because we are just four years old?” Emm pushed Daniel who was leaning closer to them. He didn’t have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have, all he wanted was to hug his kids.“Heh! If you knew, we would have already been reduced to ashes and gone into the reincarnation cycle.” Chris Jnr scoffed as he too pushed Daniel who was kneeling besides them.Daniel lost his balance and fell backw

    “Boss, Neil and the rest have landed at our homebase.” Night Wing informed Chris once Daniel left.“Are they coming over?” Chris asked as he stood up.“Yes, they were on their way, should be here any minute. Night Vigil informed me about 5 mins ago.” Night Wing responded as he followed Chris towards the basement.Two tiny heads popped at the head of the stairs; they ran down to hug Chris legs seeing that Daniel had left “Daddy, are you angry? Should we apologize again?”Chris knelt down to pick the duo, he tapped Emm’s nose with a doting smile as he reprimanded “Little ghost, who are you apologizing to? Didn’t you wait upstairs till everyone left?”“Hmph” Emm hmphed as she crossed her arms and lifted her head defiantly.“Daddy, you are not being honest.” Chris Jnr too folded his arms as he looked at Chris with an accusatory gaze.“Oh???” Chris hooked his eyebrows with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.Chris Jnr: “Didn’t you tell us that we have to be honest? Then why did you make us a

    Marcus rushed back hearing that Chris Jnr and Emm were going to Devil Island; he didn’t wait to hear or process the rest of the information as to why they were going. The only reason to be sent to Devil Island other than during school holidays was punishment; he didn’t need to think before rushing back.“Little uncle, I am responsible. They didn’t know anything. They only came along with me.” Marcus stood in front of Chris with a flushed, sweaty face, like a martyr, ready to meet his maker.“Responsible for?” Chris along with the rest of the people in the room all had an amused expression while both Chris Jnr and Emm face palmed in unison.“Responsible for…….” Marcus nodded as he rolled his eyes around thinking what the little imps could have done in the short span of yesterday evening when he last saw them and now, he repeated “Responsible for…….” as he looked at Chris Jnr for cues.“Daddy, you are not allowed to bully eldest brother.” Emm stomped her feet pouting. She couldn’t stand

  • Never to look back   Of course, the first most beautiful person is my future wife.

    Breakfast table at Chris’s villa was filled with chatter and laughter with the addition of the Burkes; topics of discussion ranged from politics to finance among men while the topic of fashion reigned supreme among the ladies. Lai-Li looked at everyone around her in wonder as she listened. This world was new to her, but it didn’t seem to disgust or bore her, in fact she found herself enjoying the company of Emile and Abbey; the addition of the Burke women was just an icing on top. Lai-Li had gathered the impression that well-born ladies were arrogant and often looked down on everyone around them from her limited interaction with the outside world. She was initially uncomfortable when Master agreed to accept Chris’s hospitality but soon found Emile was a total contradiction to her understanding of well born women of high social status. She had originally placed Emile in the compartment of an anomaly; but she was constantly re-writing her understanding of the outside world as she mingle

    “Hubby, what do you think your son is conspiring about this time?” Emile whispered to Chris while they got a moment to themselves between socializing with the guests.“Not just my son, even my little princess.” Chris chuckled “If I bet, I would even bet that she is the ringleader.”“What do you mean?” Emile tugged Chris’s arm with a curious twinkle in her eyes.“Although my son is very good, he is not that great when it comes to the topic that they are conspiring on, so the mastermind can only be our little princess.” Chris tapped her nose dotingly as he explained.“Thinking back to the request for a pass for a friend a few days ago and how our little princess pestered you to know the colour chosen by second brother, I would bet that the person at the receiving end of their conspiracy is their eldest brother.”“Huh?”“Watch and see for yourself, if you don’t believe your husband.” Chris feigned a wronged expression.“Hubby, I believe you but…” Emile pursed her lips “Don’t they like the

  • Never to look back   Are you sure you are introducing big treasure’s friend?

    “Daddy, how is the eldest sister-in-law we found?”She covered her mouth and giggled with a sense of accomplishment.“Very pretty” Emile responded sharing the giggle with her daughter as she spied on Marcus. The expression of both Chris and Chris Jnr was a mirror image, helpless at the trouble the two silly and most cherished members of their family could cause.“Daddy, don’t worry.” Chris Jnr tapped his father shoulder comfortingly with an adult like expression “When you are tired holding the skies up for them, I will help you.”“Alright…. Then daddy will relax.” Chris chuckled softly.“Me too… me too…” Emm chirped happily.Marcus was surprised to find Beth who was his junior in college at the banquet; as far as he knew, Beth belonged to the reserved group of girls who never attended any social event and to his surprise, she was wearing a similar colour to his.“I am sorry to have put you in an awkward situation. I guess my friends are up to no good.” Beth sighed with an embarrassed s

    While Chris was having a heart to heart with his son, Emile walked over to Darcy and Grace who were chatting with Veronica and Peter.“Little aunt, how did you manage to shake little uncle off your tail?” Miles teased as he saw Chris wasn’t following Emile. He too had come over with Vincent to ask permission for them to go to the gaming area of the hotel as they were getting bored with the banquet.“What nonsense are you talking?” Emile flicked his forehead playfully to hide her blush before turning to Grace “Didn’t I come over to introduce……” Emile paused purposefully as a mischievous smile lingered on her face; she threw a side glance at Marcus who was still clueless and mucking around with little treasure and sighed inwardly before continuing “Emm and Chris Jnr’s new friend, Beth Forester.”“Hello aunties and uncles.” Beth smiled politely as he greeted them before signalling Zada with her yes to rescue her. She would never have believed if someone told her before that her innocent l

    Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the

  • Never to look back   Can you guess what Little treasure wants to do?

    Chris noticed that little treasure was eager to go back and didn’t force her to stay. He knew his little treasure’s intention was not what she said out loud, but he still indulged her; indulging his treasures had become a habit.Night blade and his team was tasked with escorting Little treasure back while Night Rider and his team stayed back with Chris; there was no need to ask about Night Wing to know what he did.“I don’t want Uncle Night Blade to follow me.” Little treasure pouted, throwing another temper tantrum before setting off, shocking Chris and Night Blade. Night Blade felt hurt even though his face was expressionless; his love and affection for the two treasures was no less than that of Night Wing.“Why is that?” Chris asked in a gentle tone, without showing any impatience even though he was shocked.“Uncle Night Blade won’t listen to me.” Little treasure pouted with feigned grievance although her lips her curling up victoriously in a corner not visible to anyone.Chris sig

  • Never to look back   Daddy’s little treasure is most generous

    As the first rays of the sun kissed the land, no matter how reluctant he felt, Chris kissed goodbye to his dear wife. During the night, they had reached a consensus to see what their treasures were up to and not tear open the farce till they got the green flag from their treasures.Chris dragged his feet back to the manor, wondering if he should punish his son for dragging his feet and delaying their reunion. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why his son wouldn’t just call him and tell him that his mommy was back to normal and ask him to pick them up. He didn’t suspect his son’s intentions, just felt miserable that he still had to be separated from his family although the problems had been solved.However, all his thoughts were thrown to the back of mind as he saw his little treasure sitting in the lounge with her princess temper; her eyelashes stained with dewdrops that were threatening to fall, causing Marcus to run round in circles to please her.“What’s goi

    The same evening that Chris was rushing towards the light of his life, many miles away in Níngjìng valley, Lai-Li and Bai-Min were anxiously waiting at the door of their master’s seclusion cave. It had been more than 2 weeks since Master went into seclusion.According to his temperament and considering how anxious he was to get to Chris and Emile; he should have come out after their previously imposed curfew of 1 week. However, not only did he not come out in a week, but another week had also quietly passed without any moment from cave.Just as the duo were losing patience, the stone at the entrance of the cave rolled away and Master appeared before the duo with his usual amiable smile, like a living buddha; however, the paleness around his aura although it was better than when he woke up 2 weeks ago, it hadn’t disappeared.“Master, are you not better?” Lai-Li ran over to hug master like a small child and asked anxiously as she noted that her master’s aura lacked the majesty and vigor

    “It’s Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm whispered with a mysterious expression causing Chris Jnr and Marcus to chuckle as they answered the call.“Hello Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm smiled sweetly as she answered the call.“How is Uncle’s little treasure doing?” Night Vigil’s voice that was filled with affection came from the other end.“Little treasure missed Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm pouted childishly before continuing “So, we have to finish all our work quickly and then little treasure can come and meet Uncle Night Vigil.”“Hur….hur…hur…. that is a must.” Night Vigil laughed heartily before asking “Is big treasure with you?”“How did you guess?” Little treasure’s eyes widened in admiration, her lips making an ‘o’ shape.Chris Jnr shook his head helplessly at his sister’s theatrics but didn’t expose her.“Little treasure is making fun of Uncle Night Vigil.” Night Vigil chuckled without giving the little treasure any face.“Hymph” Little treasure hmphed as she lifted her chin resentfully ‘Uncle Night

    “What is it?” Marcus and Chris Jnr asked in unison, with the same helpless expression.“Choose the venue as the same place that daddy and mommy confessed in Mossel Bay.” Emm answered bubbling with excitement.“If it where they confessed, then we have to do it in several hundred feet above ground.” Chris Jnr rolled his eyes with feigned disdain even though he liked the idea.Emm pouted before raising her chin defiantly “Anyway that would have a special meaning to both daddy and mommy.”“Okay…. okay…. little treasure is right… big treasure was only teasing you.” Chris Jnr quickly decided to plead guilty before the little empress decided to throw a tantrum.“We could do it in the vineyard that our family owns.” Marcus suggested as he agreed with little treasure.Chris Jnr’s eyes kept rolling as little treasure’s idea started to get fixated in his head “Let’s see what the wedding planners can come up with.”“But that will mean more work for both of you.” Chris Jnr added with a thoughtful e

    “You two….” Marcus looked from one treasure to the other in disbelief, holding a wedding was a huge thing, he wanted to dissuade them, but he knew that twin look; A hundred wild horses wouldn’t be able to hold them back…. What could this poor eldest brother do other than support them?“Tell me what to do...” Marcus slouched down, sighing with a resigned expression; since he couldn’t talk them out of it, he might as well support them all the way and face the music later. Little uncle might be disappointed with him for not being sensible and mature enough to guide the duo in the right direction but at least he could be a good eldest brother.“I have given the task of selecting the wedding planner from the three wedding planners I have shortlisted to Uncle Night Vigil.” Chris Jnr fiddled with his fingers as he lowered his head and raised his eyes to look guiltily at eldest brother and little treasure. He didn’t ask for their opinion before he decided to act and didn’t know if they would f

    Chris Jnr locked his door soon after Emile ran out of his room with the phone and climbed back onto his bed and dialed little treasure. He knew he would have to wait for a while since they hadn’t made an appointment but contrary to his expectation little treasure picked up the call even before it could ring.“Big brother….”Chris Jnr pursed his lips into a pout; Little treasure rarely called him big brother…. Not unless she had encountered some sort of grievance….“Big brother is here…” Chris Jnr softened his voice, like he had seen his daddy do when he was comforting them “What’s wrong with little treasure? Is eldest brother not there?” He knew that with eldest brother near her, there was no way she would suffer any grievance.“Little treasure is fine…” Emm pouted as she tried to hold on to her grievance. She was fine, just that she missed her brother too much… they had never been separated and that too for this long.“He’s here.” Marcus responded at the same time as Emm.“What’s wron

    “I…. what???” Emile’s voice rose a notch as she lifted her head to look at Chris in shock. She shook her head in denial as she lowered her eyes taking stock of every conversation with Daniel; she muttered in disbelief even before her brain finished processing her thoughts “In my memory, our re-acquaintance did not exist, let alone marriage…. Then how can I ask for a divorce?”“I believe you…. you might not have asked.” Chris coaxed patiently as he gently massaged her back to calm her emotions.“Hubby, I am truly sorry….” Emile buried her face coquettishly in his chest, as she muttered “I cannot even imagine the pain it caused you…. I am so sorry…”“It is not your fault. I am to be blamed if you have to blame someone…. It is my fault I believed that lunatic.” Chris pacified gently, without feeling tired or agitated even though he was repeatedly saying the same thing.“The only reason I believed him was because my brain was not functioning properly; I couldn’t see through his stupid sche
