Emile shamelessly stuck to Chris for the whole day like a sticky candy; she had missed him terribly as it they had never been separated since the kids were born. She didn’t care how her sisters-in laws teased her; it didn’t make any difference on her shameless behaviour. Although the others teased Emile, they followed her lead and stuck to their husband much to the dismay of the men as they had things to discuss.“Why don’t you go and relax for an hour or so before you leave?” Henry coaxed his little Pearl as he knew the others would follow if she left.“What do you want to discuss without me?” Emile pouted as she crossed her arms resentfully “I am sitting right here with my husband.”“Let’s talk…” Chris nodded helplessly; he didn’t want the waterworks to follow.“Do you want us to leave?” Mark asked, realizing that the Burke brothers had something they needed to discuss with Chris.“Not really….” Chris shrugged “I would eventually update you….” Chris paused with a mischievous smirk “j

“I just wanted to know how strong or weak his loyalty would be…” Chris shrugged as he explained, “Not a must, I can always find other avenues. He is not a must in the plan… just a nice to have…. But I don’t like to have unpredictable variables.”“Elijah Asher is a trustworthy snake, but a snake he is…” Henry opened his mouth “I have dealt with him a few times, he will keep his word as long as you don’t double cross him or his interests.”“What about better prospects?” Chris quirked an eyebrow “Would that sway him?”Henry shook his head “Not in my experience, he is old school, handshake and honour of word kind of guy.”“Aren’t those types extinct?” Eric chuckled while Addison joined “That’s why we call him a dinosaur.”“Can you arrange a meeting for me with him?” Chris asked as he planned his next move.“When?”“How soon can we meet?”“Let me make a call?” Henry stepped out of the room.“Chris, what is the surprise that Harry was asking about?” Mark asked once the discussion died down w

“Burkes will promise to be your backer.” Henry too promised before Elijah got over his shock by the double windfall.“You promise that if I help him, you will be my backer…. Ha….ha…. there really is a storm of pies falling from the skies today.” Elijah laughed as he joked “I must head to the nearest lottery selling outlet after our meeting and get a few tickets.”“Why a few?” Eric smirked “Isn’t one enough if your luck is shining brightly?”“Yes, but considering mine is storming, I am thinking of taking a few different ones.” Elijah reciprocated Eric’s gesture and hi-5-ed him.“Ha….ha…ha…” everyone laughed while Harry smirked “I didn’t know that you had such good humour sense.”“That’s the only way to keep my sanity.” Elijah laughed as he waved his hand suggestively between Chris, Mark and Henry.“I can understand why master Walter wants to be involved but I don’t know why you want to jump on the band wagon.” Elijah asked in a not-so-confident voice as he turned towards Henry.“He’s go

Back in Chris’s villa, the house was filled with chatter and laughter once everyone returned. The kids were bought back this morning chaperoned by Night Slade and Night Shade.“Daddy, little treasure missed you mostest.” Emm ran and jumped into Chris’s extended arms as soon as her little feet touched ground; Chris Jnr was not far off. Both cuddled Chris’s neck tightly as they silently rested their heads on either shoulder; this was their safe haven. They didn't have to be brave or capable, just themselves and still be loved and treasured.“What about mommy?” Emile hooked her eyebrows teasingly as she stood beside Chris.“Yeah…. Yeah… the empress was missed too…” Emm muttered dishonestly without letting go of Chris; she whispered under her breath “Who will be stupid enough to confess the truth and be banished?”“Duh… you…” Chris Jnr shook his head helplessly as he looked at his stupid sister; and subtly pointed his finger towards his mother who was standing next to them, narrowing her e

Chris was right about Lenin. He ran around like a headless chook trying to contain the damage of his overseas business; he didn’t even know what hit him until the newspapers celebrated the bankruptcy of Harten and Asten enterprises. He had concentrated all his attention on his overseas projects that he never saw the fires that were burning brightly in his back yard until there were only ashes remaining and as you know, nothing can be salvaged from ashes unless it is the egg of the phoenix.The next day, the news headlines announced the fall of the once prosperous Harten builders and the Asten enterprises with stock prices hitting rock bottom. Lenin was pacing furiously in his study thrashing anything and anyone that was within an arm’s reach of him.“Imbeciles …. All of you… why do I have to pay for your stupidity?” Lenin cursed the maid that came in to clean the mess he had made. She ran faster than the street mice.“I need to see you in 10 mins.” Lenin barked into his phone as he saw

Lenin knew that his future was looking very bleak as he looked at the paper in front of him with a depressed, defeated expression. This was his last hope and yet it seemed to have become the coil around his neck, threatening to take his breath away. He drummed his fingers on the desk as he made his decisions.“Call Dr Burkhart.” Lenin instructed his assistant as he made plans.He looked through all his finances; there was enough to maintain his current lifestyle for another 3 months if he could find a buyer for his projects with Elijah. His current aim wasn’t to recover his investment but to find a buyer who would buy his bonds from him in exchange for the contract. This was the only way to prevent declaring bankruptcy and buying time till…. his lips curled up as he thought of the last trick in his arsenal.He didn’t want to use it yet, that was meant to his grand stroke but now, it was his only stroke if he couldn’t find a buyer."Call Evergreen Heights and find out if they are happy

Lenin’s assistant didn’t slack off on carrying his boss’s order regardless of how he was abused or demeaned. He contacted Radcliffe’s assistant and relayed his boss’s message verbatim. He didn’t want to sound rude or desperate but wanted to convey his boss’s sincerity and this was the only way he could do it.Jonas didn’t need to run it past Chris as they had already paid for the bonds; he knew Chris’s intent and told his secretary to hold off for a day before passing the message that they would sign considering it as a favour to the Walters.Lenin gritted his teeth and smashed whatever was remaining on his table when he heard the message but other than smashing his own things, there was nothing he could do. He wore a polite façade as he went to the meeting scheduled for handing over the contract and bonds.“Thank you, Mr Radcliffe, for reconsidering our offer.” Lenin opened the meeting with a flattering smile.“Like I said, I have to pay respects to the Buddha… I cannot not pay respec

On Chris’s end, he was in high spirits, his wife and kids were with him, adding colour and music to his life, his world was complete. As an added bonus, the itch by the name of Lenin was about to be smashed into the pages of ancient history in a matter of days. The next few days had scandals of the key players of ‘Desire and Elegance’, a major player in the entertainment arena splashed all over the news. The medium of media didn't matter, it was the news that was catching all the rage. If it was the news of selling sexual favours for roles and bribing the committee for movie awards selection committee that filled the news headlines on one day, then it was the decadent night life of the stars on the next day.The broadcasting scandals of the company’s most celebrated directors leading to speculation of the fairness and the impact of such a moral-less company on the morale of other self-respecting actors was also debated on social media platforms without even giving the company breathin

The rest of Burkes followed suit without waiting for either Chris or Emile to respond; curiosity had gotten the better of them.Little baby was not stupid. How would he dare question little aunt? He looked over nonchalantly before making a gesture with his meaty fingers to indicate payment.“What do you want?” Both Harry and Addison asked in excitement.“I am very rich for the time being, so I will let Leo choose.” Little baby responded with a smug look and passed the honours to Leo.“Take us all on the trip to the Alps when fifth Uncle Walter is taking them.” Leo didn’t have to think as he told Addison what he wanted.Addison agreed without a second thought and walked back into the room the adults were seated, humming a song only to be despised by his mother, which he totally ignored and sat down happily with a thick skin.The fate of the rest of the Burke brothers were similar; no one was spared.

“Where are you going?” Henry teased as he caught the little overlord and hurled him in the air.“Put me down.” Bruno frowned, flailing his legs anxiously “I haven’t finished discussing with little uncle.”Everyone laughed as Henry put Bruno down, who promptly ran to Chris, looked up at him curiously, awaiting his decision.“Hur…hur…hur….” Chris chuckled “How would I dare renegade on a promise to our little overlord?”“Then when can we go?” Bruno asked seriously, taking no offense to the title, to him, this was recognition of his ability.“When we get back and whenever you say the word.” Chris never had any qualms indulging his nephews and nieces.“Where are we going?” Leo asked curiously.Bruno looked towards Chris who shrugged “It’s up to to the owner of the reward to decide, I am just the charioteer.”“Then let’s go to the ocean king’s castle.” Bruno didn’t have to think twice to make a decision.Chris “”Everyone burst out laughing, only the little ones looked curiously at Chris.“I

He was smart enough to decipher big treasure's cryptic message that he could find the answer by testing them himself, after sulking for a while, thinking about big treasure’s words over and over again. He rushed to Chris’s room once again, pulled Big Treasure aside and whispered hurriedly before running away. He then ran off to the apartment where the Burkes where resting. He went over to call Leo and Liam to play with him in the backyard with a crafty look in his eyes. All the Burke kids followed Leo and Liam to play, the main intent for the older kids following them was to keep them safe.He turned around to look at Leo with a guilty look in his eyes as he asked cautiously, “Would you stop talking to me if you find out that I landed you in trouble to test you?”“Why do you want to test me?” Leo demanded with a frown.“Because it is very important to me.” Bruno blinked his eyes, lowering his gaze as he whispered, “Like life and death situation that grown-ups talk about.”“Well, in tha

After the excitement died down, everyone decided to go out, sight-seeing, like proper tourists. Adam invited his friends who politely stayed back at the hotel sensing that Adam and the rest had family matters to sort out, to join the group. Just like that, the Burkes, Walters, Adam’s three friends, the two masters, Chris’s senior brother, Bai-Min and Lai-Li set off on their wild-life adventure, that they had booked with one of the tour groups. It goes without saying that the group included Adrian and his little family and Neil who dragged Chiara along with him. What was unexpected was that Emm pulled Amy, Abbey’s assistant to tag along with them. Luckily for Amy, she had Beth who got dragged into the family outing by Marcus to keep her company. Her boss had ditched her without a conscience the minute her ‘knight in shining armour’ appeared. On their return trip, even though they were all chatting, what attracted everyone’s attention was little treasure’s soft cute voice “Daddy, is it

The next morning, everyone was in high spirits without even a trace of the anxiety that passed through; although they were still waiting for an explanation, a closure to whole saga. The breakfast table was lively and cheerful. “Son, tell me is Emile really pregnant?” Elizabeth couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She asked once everyone had settled in the lounge area to relax after breakfast. “Um” Chris nodded although he was displeased inwardly; he wondered if his mother had truly changed or whether she was about to revert to her old ways. “Tell us how you know what was wrong with Little aunt.” Miles piped in from the background, turning everyone’s attention towards big treasure and little treasure, after being signalled by Marcus. He didn’t know why eldest brother wanted him to divert the topic, but he still obeyed. He didn’t always have to know the reason; eldest brother was in charge; he would follow whatever eldest brother asked him to do. “Daddy was too lost. We knew we had to

Outside the room, Chris Jnr finally managed to coax little treasure and sighed in relief. There was nothing he could do about it, his little ears and heart hurt from listening to little treasure’s wails. He would compensate his little brother in other ways. “How is your mommy?” Chris asked once little treasure had been coaxed. “She is fine.” Chris Jnr thought for a minute before answering; his mommy looked fine, she was sleeping peacefully. He leaned forward, close to Chris, gesturing little treasure to come close and whispered with a soft voice “Daddy, I touched a dragon.” “A what?” Little treasure’s eyes widened, surprise mixed with disbelief, reflecting in those adorable eyes. “Um” Chris Jnr nodded with all seriousness in affirmation to little treasure but not before he gestured little treasure to be quiet. “Daddy, are dragons real?” Little treasure leaned even closer as she whispered. “Maybe…” Chris shrugged before closing his eyes and mind linking with the two treasures “Da

“Jnr might be a good option.” Chris’s master slowly opened his mouth once he finished sifting everyone’s faces through his mind.Hua Yueren lifted his eyebrows questioningly.“He has been around her while she was away. Naturally, the apparition although only a figment of Azure’s consciousness, it will still be sharp enough to sense a friend from a foe. Also, since he is her biological son, his spirit must have a lingering smell of her essence.”Hua Yueren nodded; he didn’t have any better solution. They would re-think their plans if this one backfired.Chris’s master transmitted his message to Spector who promptly brought Chris in, in his usual manner of teleportation.Chris Jnr greeted the two masters and stood straight, neither servile nor overbearing, quietly waiting instructions; his demeanour brought a glint of admiration to the eyes for both men.“Son, can you see the apparition surrounding your mother?” Chris’s master knelt beside Chris Jnr so that he could level his gaze with h

Emile felt a bit anxious as she entered the room with Chris’s and Neil’s masters. Although she knew them, she wasn’t very familiar with them. She looked towards Lai-Li with an anxious gaze; Lai- Li was the only person in the group whom she knew a little better.“It will be alright.” Lai-Li comforted in a gentle voice as she saw Emile’s gaze resting on her uncomfortably.“Master Walter’s mood might get agitated and that won’t help us.” She explained patiently as she saw that the concern in Emile’s gaze hadn’t dispersed. “Neil is not used to our world, and he will be in a daze and that will not help our cause as we will need to be quick.”Although Emile didn’t fully understand, she nodded. She had seen Chris do unbelievable things before, stuff that couldn’t be explained by logic and science alone.“It will be quick. Everything will be back to normal as soon as you wake up.” Lai-Li coaxed gently as she patted her hands while Emile’s lids gradually grew heavier and finally, she closed her
Never to look back It is his fate... no one can escape fate!
“Daddy, little treasure is here.” Emm tugged Chris’s pants with grievance. She had been waiting patiently for daddy to coax little baby and carry her, but little baby had no intention of coming down.“Daddy’s little treasure is the most understanding treasure in the world.” Chris smiled as he knelt and carried Emm along with Bruno and headed to wait in front of the door.“Little brother, let me…” Darcy stepped forward extending his hands towards Chris with a sheepish smile. He wondered if he really was not cut out to be a good father; he was happily standing watching the drama unfold when Grace nudged him with a reproachful glare as she gestured with her eyes towards Bruno.“It’s okay.” Chris chuckled looking at Darcy’s embarrassment before turning his doting gaze towards his little treasure and then Bruno.Neither looked at him as they were both looking at the closed door with similar anxious expressions although the cause of their anxiety was different. Little baby’s world only had B
