Enjoy reading 💕💕💕💕
Daniel was extremely busy with all the work that had snowballed from time he took off for running away to Mauritius chasing Emile and slacking off the following week. He rarely got time to rest let alone think of how to find Emile. Michelle was initially on high alert due to the change in his attention but was soon relieved of her worries after personally verifying that he wasn’t lying and that he was at work. It took him three weeks to finish the backlog of work and return back to his normal rhythm. Today, he had finished all the tasks that were required before 3 pm and sat back to think back to the last few weeks. He had to admit, the more he tried to forget, the more distinct his memories of the time spent with Emile became. He tried to take the advice from his grandpa and Ron and live a good life with Michelle but the more he tried, the more miserable he became. Subconsciously his mind kept comparing, taking stock of his life with the two. Even his interactions with Michelle bega
Chris decided to postpone the trip for accepting Dupont’s offer till after the wedding and head to his homebase after being convinced by Emile. He called and informed Dupont about the change in their plans and made sure that there were no problems at his end. They had lost 3 weeks as they waited for Night Wing to recover back to his usual form and there was only 1 week left before the date for the civil ceremony. Night Wing didn’t bother to book flights as the one that Neil came was still in the airport. They boarded and headed for their homebase without any fuss or alerting anyone. Chris had informed his family that would be stopping by the home base for work but wouldn’t be going back home. Eric informed him that they were set to fly back for his wedding 5 days later and asked him of their plans. Chris told him to come over to the homebase as he had some things to discuss. He didn’t divulge anything further no matter how Eric asked. The other intriguing thing was that Chris asked h
“I was recommended to work as a wet nurse for young master by a doctor friend of second master.” Sofia sat back looking into the distance as she went back 20 years through memory lane. “He was consulting his friend on why his wife didn’t have milk for the young master even though she had just delivered the baby.” “The doctor friend advised that it was normal for some woman to not have milk and told him to use a wet nurse. He was the person who recommended me as well.” Sofia paused with a conflicted expression before continuing- “I had just given birth to a still born baby and was finding it difficult to come to terms with it. He was the one who suggested that this would perhaps be a solution to the both of us.” “He gave your brother reassurance of my character and health and your brother took me to your sister-in-law’s ward. He introduced me to the young master and told me that my only job was to feed and take care of young master.” “At first everything was normal.” Sofia paused a
Eric wondered if his little brother was being a bit hasty, but he still trusted his brother's poisonous eye for detecting talent and held his peace. He looked on without any change in expression. Sofia clenched her fists and looked straight at Chris; she didn’t flinch even though she was extremely nervous. After what seemed like a century, she heard the little young master say – “What was your theory?” “Young master is not the madam’s child.” Sofia bit her lips and exhaled “I know what I am saying sounds crazy considering you all witnessed young master being born.” “It does” Eric’s lips curled in mockery as he added “Also, don’t tell me you doubt whether my brother is the father…. I checked.” “I don’t” Sofia shook her head “Young master looks like second master.” “What do you want me to do?” Chris narrowed his eyes as his brain was analysing the probability and possibility of what she said. “I want a new face and name.” “Um” Chris nodded thoughtfully before asking “Does your th
Eva was furious when she saw the memes on social media. She rushed to the hospital under the guise of ‘caring aunt’ to give her brainless niece a piece of her mind. But it was only when she reached the hospital, did she realize the matter was not as simple as it seemed. For once, Amanda was innocent. She was invited to the charity gala that was organized as a cocktail cruise that had all the elites of the community attending. Amanda only attended as she heard that Chris had returned and was on the cruise along with his best friend Neil. Amanda’s best friend Melanie was the one who updated Eva on what happened. Amanda was still unconscious. “Auntie Eva, I swear I don’t know why Mandy lost balance and fell into the water. At that time, I was so shocked I couldn’t think straight.” Her facial expression had the aftermath of the shock. “Everyone was standing shocked when Dr Livingston came out to the deck hearing the commotion.” She patted her chest in relief “It was only under his urgi
Eric arrived the next morning just as Chris had predicted, the only correction in his prediction was that he was not along. Diana couldn’t sit still since she heard what her man had been up to. “Is no one up yet?” Eric curiously asked the butler who led them into the main hall. There was no one in the main hall. “Young master never wakes up early if he is at home.” Hames shook his head helplessly; there was nothing anyone could do. Their young master was a force of nature, he lived in his own world and by his own rules. The only people who could influence him were the young master Walter and young master Montague. Sadly neither thought there was anything wrong with his young master! “Young master Walter has gone for his morning run and should be back soon.” Hames spoke eyeing the wall clock. “The young ladies have not woken up yet.” “Morning Hames” Chris jogged in from the outside in his trainers along with Night Wing and Night Rider as his tails as they were talking. “Morning yo
As Neil and the others sat joking, the scene at the hospital went downhill quite quickly. Eva was planning to go home as she was bored out of her skin; she didn’t have much affection for Amanda anyway, her concern and love for Amanda was all a means to an end. She picked her phone to message her brother when the machines Amanda was hooked up with began to beep and sound the warning alarm. This attracted the attention of the CEO who was on his rounds. He went to the room with his team of emergency staff even before Eva had the chance to raise the alarm. She stood in the background with a bewildered expression when the doctor in the lead turned around and asked in a stern tone “What happened in here? Wasn’t this patient’s indicator normal?” “I.... I... didn’t ...do... any...thing.” Eva stuttered as she trembled in fear. “Did I ask you? Who are you?” Graham waved his hand with an annoyed expression “Clear out all non-medical staff and relatives.” Eva stepped out with her head lowered
Back in Neil’s study, once everyone finished mucking around and settled down, Eric looked at his brother who was purposefully stalling time with a helpless expression. “What did you find out?” “No relation” Chris pursed his lips as he extended the test results towards Eric. “What if the sample we took didn’t belong to Eva?” Eric asked after a while breaking the ghostly silence that filled the room. “Yeah” Diana nodded “Someone else could have used the hairbrush and the hair we pulled out might have been someone else’s.” “How many hair strands do you need for a retest?” Night Wing walked out from the shadows. “Even half a strand will do.” Neil waved his hand and looked despondently at Night Wing however he looked at he had received a thunderstroke as he screamed “W…T…F…” Everyone followed his gaze as they heard the roar and his expression that seemed like he had been struck by thunder. “These are not contaminated. They were pulled out of her head last night and bagged.” Night Wi
Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnr’s arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.“Thank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.” Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didn’t even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.“It was our pleasure.” Several associates including Ron hurriedly joine
Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasn’t planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each other’s thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didn’t need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasn’t planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relative
Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emile’s favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chris’s arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parents’ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind wit
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldn’t be changed to another date.“Where’s Christian?” Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didn’t notice that Christian wasn’t with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t get a chance till now.“He went off with the Walters.” Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.“That bastard…” Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.“What’s wrong?” Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.“Nothing ….” Daniel shrugged b
“Senior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.” One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adam’s side.“Um…” Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him “Lead the way.” Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasure’s hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabeth’s care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didn’t expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasure’s subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;
The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.“Wow! That was so magical.” One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a man’s undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.
“Mommy, you better take care of your man from here on…there's only so much a little girl can do…” Emm’s bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on “It was hard work, but we got him here for you.”Everyone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.“Uff….uff…” Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyone’s attention before he continued “As you have witnessed, our daddy’s journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommy’s blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and love….”The laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didn’t have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.“or whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
“You could never do what he did…”“What did you say?” Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didn’t want to believe it. He didn’t want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didn’t why would she say that?“How can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.” Emile giggled as she turned around to face him.Daniel stared at her face for a long time trying to make sense, trying to discern if what she said was purely based on the wedding arrangement or whether there was a hidden meaning in them. But before he could process this line of thought, the ceremonial bells rang leading everyone to take a closer look at the hot-air ballon in the center. Although it was one that could hold 35 people, there were currently only about 25 people including the celebrant and his assistant.“That is actually a priest not a celebrant.” One of the guests in Daniel’s basket, who h
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 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 the name, Church in the Sky, Mossel Bay, there were no details of how to get to 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.
