Bridgette continued with her story, garnering strength from the pride and admiration she saw in the eyes of her son and grandchildren “The excruciating pain, you put me through, every time I did something against my will is the only memory I have of the loved up, cozy time you speak of, because every display of affection you executed to perfection was against my will and the pain caused to bend one’s will against his own is similar to carving out a piece of your own flesh.”

Bridgette straightened her spine, not wanting to show her weakness in front of anyone, especially not in front of the man whom she wanted to send into the depth of hell “Watching my father bend against his best judgement, over and over again for mine and my son’s sake put me through hell time and time again, with the last straw being when you forced him to take poison in my stead.”

“The latest imprint in my memory of the sweet period you spoke off, also has the time you forced me to accept this woman to be in charge

  • Never to look back   How does it feel to have a small dose of your own medicine?

    “Master Walter…” Robert called out weakly, bowing towards Everett in a feeble attempt to make a plea thinking that he would be the main decision maker and probably the person who wasn’t fully aware of the extent of his crime. He had gathered from the conversation in the room that Bridgette and Everett didn’t have much time to compare notes.“No point in looking at me.” Everett shrugged with a heartless smile “Elder sister has always been in charge of the family and family matters. I am just a spoilt, idle master.”Caleb’s eyes misted as he thought of the past; if these demons hadn’t interfered, Everett should have been a spoilt brat, idling in the shade of his sister’s glory. He excused himself shortly after to respond to the doorbell that had just sounded.“You made your bed the day you betrayed your master, you are no longer worthy of my forgiveness.” Bridgette refused to give him a good look as she turned her gaze towards Chris “Didn’t you say that you wanted to have fun….

  • Never to look back   The offspring of the righteous will be delivered..

    Rufus looked at the disappointed expression on Silas’s face and his slouched shoulders and knew that he was thoroughly disappointed with them; he knew that they had lost their trump card. He knew that it was pointless to count on his useless son, who was not only useless but also selfish to the core.Rufus knew that he didn’t have any more dices up his sleeve. Although he had been pretending to be an old man who lost his soul, in secret, he had been trying to contact his old friend, his benefactor from all those years ago. No matter how or which number he tried, they all came back with the same answer, silence. At this point in life, as things stood now, there was no one other than this son that he could rely on.Rufus turned back to face Bridgette and Everett with a defeated expression before turning his gaze towards Adam “Son, father will leave the house clean considering none of you believe in my innocence….” He paused as his sorrowful gaze rested on Adam “But can you help father pa

    Rufus stood before the towering gates of the Walter mansion along with his son and lover as the gates closed on them. His eyes misted as he looked at everything that was his, could have been his till the day he closed his eyes and yet lost without any chance for redemption. He turned his head to look at Carmilla with a thoughtful gaze 'Was it worth it? What did he achieve?'. He didn't have any answers except regret as the betrayal of the woman he loved more than himself seemed to be replaying in his head and her refusal to even accept the responsibility with him. But regret had no medicine, he could only walk forward.Rufus and Carmilla followed Michael to the residence where he lived with his mistress after being mercilessly kicked out of the house they had called their home for 45 years. However, they didn’t receive the warm welcome or the fawning that Carmilla was anticipating. Not only did Jane put on airs of a mistress, but she also didn’t even give them a good face; by now she kn

    “You said… I…sent…her….a ….message???” Abbey stammered, her complexion turning pale.Chris cursed out loud losing his composure as he stormed out the room. Night Wing hugged Abbey in a feeble attempt to pacify her before hurrying after Chris.Chris’s voice wasn’t very loud, but it did succeed in attracting the attention of all the Walter and Burke siblings, especially with the eye catchingly cute, duck wading gait of the two treasures, trying to keep up with their father’s pace.“What’s wrong?” Henry was before Abbey even before anyone could blink; the reason for his speed was because he knew his brother-in-law all too well. Nothing could make him lose his composure unless the news was related to his beloved wife, their beloved sister.“I… didn’t….” Abbey shook her head and stammered in panic. She was frightened beyond her wits… not by Chris’s outburst or Henry’s questioning, but because of the knowledge that she might caused harm to Emile although she didn’t know how.“What are you do

  • Never to look back   Everything will go back to what it is supposed to be….

    Many miles away, in a hospital, in a quiet coastal town, in one of the most luxurious suites of the hospital, a lady was lying on the hospital bed. Although she was asleep, her brows knitted together, and facial muscles tensed as though her dreams were bothering her; a man sat beside the bed, his face hidden in the shade, quietly working away on his computer as he waited for the lady to wake up.A tall, slim built man in white coat entered once he was invited in. The man in the white coat was none other than Dr Carl Burhart who had disappeared from Lenin’s office a month ago.He checked the vitals of the lady who was sleeping with a disturbed expression before turning to update the man sitting diligently by the bedside “She is stable. We can start any time now. But it has to be in the next 4 hours.”“Let’s not waste time then, start now.” The man turned to his head to face Carl with an apprehensive body language although he sounded confident. Who else could it be other than Daniel Hols

    Back at the hospital, Carl once again assessed all of Emile’s vitals, making sure she was tolerating the drug well and noted his observations. Just as she was about to wake up, he injected the rest of the drug from the larger 30 ml syringe at a slow rate as he activated the machine simultaneously.He continued with the drumming on the gong, similar to the previous session with a difference in the rhythm and sound produced; unlike the previous serenity, this time the effect it produced was a sense of danger and panic and ultimately fear. After another half hour, he slowly reduced the tempo, slowly winding it down till there was no longer any audible sound before stopping.Carl didn’t understand the science behind the effect of the sound. He just was mechanically repeating what Song Kun had taught him while they were experimenting on the previous 3 subjects. The gist of what he understood was that this sound along with the electrical impulses would stimulate the nerves further, triggerin

    “Master….” Bai-Min and Lai-Li called in unison as they saw their master spitting yet another mouthful of blood. They had just finished the little girl’s treatment and were regulating their internal energy when they heard their master coughing with a mouthful of blood. However, both of them were shocked by the amount of blood on the floor.They rushed out to their master’s side, but he had already fainted. Neither knew what had happened. Why would their master who was perfectly fine, who was sitting quietly supervising them, vomit blood? However now was not the time to get to the bottom of the puzzle. The priority now was to get master to the healing spring that was rich in spiritual energy.Bai-Min carried master and rushed to the healing spring without delay while Lai-Li bought the little girl out to the room where her parents were anxiously waiting.“We have expelled the poison, but she is still weak and vulnerable.” Lai-Li spoke in a calm tone although she was anxious to get back to

    Grandpa Holston held the phone with a lost expression; Matthias had never spoken to him with such disrespect, not even when his grandson had tortured Emile so much. Not only did he speak harshly, but he even warned him.“Manuel” Grandpa Holston called out to his old butler without even looking at the time once he came out of his stupor.“Where is that brat?” Grandpa Holston asked as soon as the old butler entered the room “What is he up to now?”“Young master must be busy with his work.” The old butler didn’t know what excitement the old man had suffered to call him out in the middle of the night and answered in a calm tone.“Busy with work… heh!” Grandpa Holston spat out in anger “He must be trying to get me to my grave sooner….” He coughed, choking on his own temper. The old butler hurriedly walked over to massage Grandpa Holston’s chest as he tried to pacify him “Young master loves his grandpa the most… why don’t you calm down and sleep for a while longer?”“I will go and investigat

  • Never to look back   We will set everything right after this wedding.

    Almost all the guests in the hotel woke up in the wee hours of the morning as they had all arrived to participate in the youngest Mr Walter’s wedding. All of them without exception were filled with excitement regardless of the reason for their excitement.No one knew the exact location of the venue, as other than Mossel Bay, there were no details of the venue. All they knew or were told when they asked for location details was that transportation for them to be taken to the venue was arranged for everyone attending the wedding.Cars were lined up one behind the other, at the hotel entrance, picking up the guests as they arrived at the entrance and heading for the venue. Daniel, Emile and Christian lined up at the back of the line as they arrived.“What are you looking for?” Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.“Grandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.” Daniel shrugged “He could come in the same car as us.”George: “Boss, shall I ask around?”“N

    Daniel arrived in Mossel Bay with Emile and Chris Jnr after midnight and was surprised to see that despite being a small airport with the least traffic, they were functioning effectively in an orderly manner without the slightest panic or error; their flight was probably the last or one of the last to land.It didn’t take them long to clear customs and immigration; Daniel and George went over to get the luggage while Emile and Chris Jnr waited in a quiet corner.“What mischief are you up to this time?” Emile pinched Chris Jnr’s ears gently as she questioned, once she noted that Daniel had walked away, away from their range of activity.“No…. nothing…” Chris Jnr stuttered with a pink face as he tried to free himself from the empress’s claws.“Hymph” Emile hmphed unhappily as she turned away; Out the corner of her eyes, she saw Daniel was coming back.“What did you do to upset your mommy?” Daniel questioned him as soon as he came in front of them. He had seen Emile pinching Chris Jnr’s

    Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil

    Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co

    “What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar

    “Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas

    Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa….

She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu

    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.
