Everyone settled in the family room after dinner. This was a norm for the Burke household.

“What are your plans?” Matthias turned his gaze to Christopher.

“I would like to get married tomorrow if possible but will follow Emile’s decision.” Christopher levelled his gaze with Matthias.

“I don’t want anyone to know where I am.” Emile pouted as she saw the gazes of all her family members focussed on her.

“Why? Are you scared that someone will take my sister away?”

“Are you afraid of that bastard?”

Both Addison and Henry asked at the same time although Addison’s question was directed at Christopher; Henry’s was directed at Emile.

“Yes” Christopher nodded without hesitation “She is an extremely beautiful and intelligent woman; how can I not be afraid?”

Simon and Timothy chuckled while Emile lowered her head blushing. Although the everyone’s attention was diverted by the boys mucking around, Henry kept his gaze on Emile.

“Emile” Henry pursed his lips as he called out seeing that she

  • Never to look back   This is Abbey Smith signing off for the last time.

    Night Wing would be a fool to not know that they were set-up by now; the crew in the boat would not rescue them. He knew that their best chance of survival was to hold on till his men arrived. Fighting three great whites head-on was not a wise choice, nor was it ethical to kill these great beasts that were being manipulated. He gestured Abbey to convey that swimming to the surface was not advantageous for them and asked her to take cover behind the cage. Poor Abbey, even though she was scared senseless, she refused to leave Night Wing behind. She pulled him and gestured to go with her. Night Wing shook his head. He knew that if they both left that would only attract the shark’s attention. This was the only way to get the crazy woman to safety till his men arrived. Night Wing noted that the sharks were still trying to resist the disturbance and although moving chaotically they didn’t have any intention to attack. He slowly put the knife back into his belt and took out a crossbow that

  • Never to look back   How can I bear him to be hurt so many times?

    Abbey was just about to pass out when she heard the sound of a helicopter approaching them, but she didn't even have the strength to wave. She struggled to keep themselves above water in hope that someone would find them. Abbey didn't know when or how they reached her. Just as she felt like she was going to go under, a hand stretched out to pull them out. She fainted soon after she handed Night Wing over to them. She couldn't hold on any longer; she was satisfied that he could be saved. Luckily for Abbey, the ones who came were Christopher's men, Night Wing's subordinates. They were rushing over after receiving the distress signal. Although it looked like eternity to Abbey, it was only 30 minutes from when Night Wing send the signal. However, the response time was still slow by their standards. But there was nothing they could do. Getting their hands on resources in a foreign land was not easy. They quickly performed first aid as they set the course for the best hospital in the coun

    Emile and Christopher arrived in Mossel Bay unaware of the storm Amanda brewed for them back home nor the troubles that Abbey and Night Wing were in. Christopher was curious when he couldn't get through to Night Wing, but he was so happy thinking about how he was so close to marrying the love of his life and didn't delve on not being able to get in touch with Night Wing. Night Rider had left a message for Night Wing informing him of their arrival. He was surprised when he didn't see Night Wing waiting for them in the priority lounge as he usually did on the odd occasion that Boss didn't take him along. Alarm bells rang in his head as he noted that no arrangements were made for their pick-up. He called one of the other subordinates that were left here with Night Wing. Night Rider was shocked by what he heard and hung up after asking where they were. He quickly updated Christopher and waited politely by his side waiting for instructions. Christopher knitted his brows "Let's head to th

    “Dring…. Ring….Dring…” The phone kept ringing. “Hello” Christopher picked up the call with knitted brows. “Chris, where are you?” Mark’s deep voice came from the other end; The worry laced within was not hard to detect. “I just got back to Mossel Bay.” Christopher paused before asking “What happened eldest brother?” “That….” Mark didn’t know what to say. All the women in the family, including his mother, their wives and sisters were looking anxiously at him. “Chris, hold on.” Mark turned to his family that staring at him holding their breath “Mom, he is fine. He just got back from a work trip. I will go next door and discuss the Treger Merger with him since I have got the bugger on call.” Mark laughed lightly as he tried to ease the tension that was filling up in the room. “So, you’re saying he is fine?” Elizabeth asked with weepy eyes. “Um” Mark nodded reassuringly “Mom, do you want to talk to him?” “No… no… what’s there to talk?” Elizabeth waved her hands and added “Tell him

  • Never to look back   Who gave you the guts to design my brother?

    “Have I caused trouble?” Emile asked in a soft voice as she rubbed the tip of her nose. “How could that be?” Chris chuckled as he gestured Night Rider to bring the info over while both Emile and Abbey spoke in unison that they wanted to read as well. Helpless to reject, Chris gestured Night Rider to read out loud. Night Rider informed everyone that the job was taken by a mob who called themselves ‘Agents to Hades’. Their trademark was the ingenuity with which they carried out their hitlist. The only MO they had, was the untraceability to its members. Night Rider told them that the mob had made a deal with the cruise owners to run the session earlier and inform everyone except Emile or rather the group registered with Emile. They had purposely tampered the bottom of the cage to give way with manipulation that could be done onboard the cruise boat in such a way that it could not be detected even if it was investigated. They also used sonic waves to manipulate the sharks into being ag

    Once Eva entered her car, gone was the ‘loving, worried aunt’ expression instead it was filled with viciousness. She was also surprised that her niece who was usually very obedient could think of something like this. She called her brother as she drove to the police station and updated him on the turn of events before hanging up. Eva reached the station earlier than her brother, but she didn’t want to go in. She thought that it was better to give Amanda a lasting memory so that she would be more obedient next time. Eva sat in the car contemplating the everything that happened since morning. She had never seen Mark so furious. He was always calm and collected. Her brows knitted as she thought of an oddity; The Walters were all very protective of their own and Darcy was the most hot-headed. Her frown deepened as she remembered how he barely spoke a word. Once she hit upon a problem, she started to re-analyse the turn of events over and over in her head, but there was nothing out of the

    Eva slapped Amanda furiously as soon as they entered the house “Little bitch, what do you think you were doing?” “Auntie… I ….” Amanda paled as she saw the drastic change in Eva’s aura. “Do you have a death wish?” Eva fumed “Don’t drag me with you. This is the last time I stand up for you.” “If you don’t obey, then you are on your own.” Eva couldn’t calm down no matter how she yelled. “Auntie…. don’t …. Auntie… don’t….” Amanda cried pitifully tugging her Eva’s arm disregarding her insults and the slap. She needed Eva to be on her side. She was her ticket to the Walter manor and Chris. Poor Amanda didn’t know that Eva herself was walking on thin ice. Despite all her scheming and meticulous work in the household, she couldn’t get the heart of the one man she loved nor the support of that family. Only she knew that the loving husband-wife relationship was just a façade. The twenty-year timeline that they had signed on their marriage contract was soon nearing and she didn’t have any o

    Night Rider made the arrangements for Neil for operate on Night Wing shortly after his arrival following Christopher’s instructions. Abbey was the most stressed of everyone waiting outside; Christopher and everyone on his team were confident of Neil’s skills and Emile trusted Christopher’s judgement. Abbey put down the reason for her stress to, her being the reason Night Wing got hurt. He would have been able to escape unharmed if she was not there and if Christopher did not delegate him to oversee her safety. Emile gently comforted her. Time passed slowly with no signs of people in the theatre coming out. However, no matter how Chris tried, he couldn’t get Emile to go and rest in the room. She wanted to be near Abbey. He could only sigh helplessly looking at the women sitting on the bench cuddled together. Strangely, he could understand. They were each other’s strength. Finally, after what seemed like ages, the lights above the theatre went off; shortly after the door opened with a

  • 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….

Emile was reading a book on her bed when Chris arrived.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’Emile lifted her head to look in the direction she heard the knock in puzzlement; Who would knock on the balcony door?’Her face brightened with the sweetest smile as she saw the man she missed with all her being even though he had only left a few hours earlier, appearing in front of her. 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.
