Daniel knew the woman in front of him. He had investigated Chris’s life 4 years ago when after Grandpa showed him Emile’s wedding reception video.

Amanda smiled gracefully feigning ignorance to Daniel’s shock and repeated her question “Why is Mr Holston drinking on his own when he has such a beautiful wife and children?”

“Ms Caldwell is mistaken.” Daniel regained his composure and answered with a straight face “I am neither married nor do I have kids.”

“Oh… yes, how could I forget?” Amanda maintained her smile as she sat down “You are a divorced, ignorant father to two adorable kids.”

Daniel knitted his brows but didn’t justify nor deny the allegation and went back to concentrating on his drinks ignoring Amanda. He wasn't in the mood to entertain another delinquent.

“Mr Holston, do you want to feign ignorance and drown your love in alcohol while someone else takes over your life as husband and father?” Amanda didn’t beat around the bush as she knew that Daniel wasn’t the type who

  • Never to look back   If only.....

    Grandpa Holston had been carried back to his room by Ron and the family doctor called by the time Daniel came back to his senses. He hurried over to Grandpa Holston’s room but was stopped by the old butler. “Young master, the doctor said not to give the old master any excitement otherwise we won’t be able to hold back what is left of his life.” The old butler lowered his head “Old master said he doesn’t want to see you right now. Let him calm down.” “Grandpa refused to see me?” Daniel pointed at himself in disbelief. “Young master, don’t blame the old master.” The old butler shook his head in heartache “I have watched the old master’s heartache every time he has to go over as a guest to see his own grandchildren. I have seen his heartache when he looks at the lamps that were meant to light his house shining brightly at another….I have seen his yearning and regret. At his age, there is not much he wishes for and the one thing he so desperately wishes for, has been distanced from him.

    “Boss, we are here….” George’s call brought him back to reality and he quickly wiped his tears. “Please let your Mr Walter know that Mr Holston is here to visit.” George informed the security guard at the gate. He didn’t ask if Mr Walter was home because they had already enquired and knew he was home with the kids. “Boss, there’s a gentleman here to visit Mr Walter. He introduced himself as Mr Holston.” The security guard spoke into his walkie talkie. He pressed the button to open the gate after getting approval from his boss. George was about to politely thank the security guard when he noticed that the security guard had no intention of even acknowledging him after he finished his task unlike other security guards who fawned on guests. Inside Chris’s villa- “Boss, Mr Holston is here to see you.” Night Wing announced before muttering “He must be here for the kids.” “Um” Chris nodded as he left the study, heading towards the lounge “Amanda met with him.

  • Never to look back   I never do or say things that I do not have confidence in achieving

    Emile turned around and sat beside Chris, even though it was a single seater once the kids were taken upstairs; her demeanour changed from the tenderness she just had as she was talking to her children to that of an arrogant overlord as she faced Daniel. She didn’t hesitate to look him in the eye as she asked in ridicule, “What is Mr Holston doing so far away from home?” “Emile, can we have a reasonable chat?” Daniel put away his arrogance and asked, his eyes filled with care and regret. Sadly, Emile didn’t appreciate nor need either. “Was it Mr Holston being reasonable that I just witnessed as I came through the door?” Emile snorted, lifting her chin arrogantly “Of course… how could I not know that Mr Holston's standards are different to that of us mere mortals.” “Emile, I was wrong in the past.” Daniel didn’t lose his temper as he normally did. He had learnt his lesson; Emile was no longer the same person as she was in the past. She no longer had any tolerance for him. He had to l

    “Wife, calm down.” Chris gently massaged Emile’s back as he coaxed her. He could feel her trembling in anger.“Calm down??” Emile hissed as she glared at Chris.Chris scratched the back of his head looking like a pitiful kid who didn’t know how to fix his mistake.“How dare he? How dare he have the nerve to walk in here and make a demand for my kids?” Emile had no intention of calming down, she was fuming… like an erupting volcano.Both Thomas and Angel sat in their seats drinking tea pretending to be invisible and ignorant of everything that was happening around them; they both knew that the deaf and blind child lived longer.“How should we deal with him? I will listen to my wife.” Chris coaxed in a gentle voice.“Mommy, we should teach that bad guy a lesson.” Emm waved her hands fiercely in air. No one knew when Emm and Chris Jnr came down.“Yes, mommy thinks so too.” Emile nodded as she bit her lower lip with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.“How about we go at night and put him in

    “That was super fun.” Vini laughed as he walked into Chris Jnr’s room from the balcony.“And the best part is, we did not get into trouble.” Emm and Penny hi-fi-ed as they giggled walking into the room.“Shhh!” Chris Jnr cautioned “Let’s get into bed quickly. Don’t think that my daddy is easy to fool. Don’t make noise and tempt your luck.”However, luck didn’t seem to be on the side on the young vigilantes. The lights in their room turned on as they were sneaking into their beds. Night Wing stood near the switchboard with a helpless expression.Chris Jnr scratched the back of his head as he looked towards the switchboard. Sure enough, nothing escapes his daddy’s eagle eyes. As expected, his daddy was sitting on the old oak rocking chair waiting for them.“Daddy, you haven’t slept?” Chris Jnr raised his head with a fawning smile “Daddy, little treasure is very tired. Can we talk tomorrow?”“What has daddy taught you?” Chris raised his eyebrows in a questioning arc, his lips curled up in

  • Never to look back   Keep your woman and kids away from my man.

    Daniel arrived earlier than Amanda as he had a meeting with one of his clients just before his appointment with Amanda. He couldn’t be bothered to change rooms, so he informed reception to let Amanda know of the change in rooms and to bring her to where he was.Amanda arrived on time, she was courteous and didn’t lack a single point on etiquette. She gracefully accepted the change in room and walked over to the designated room with the receptionist although she was fuming inwardly. She did have a trick up her sleeve.She had bribed the hotel staff to burn an incense in the room she had previously booked; the intent was to trade flesh and coax Daniel into doing her bidding out of helplessness. Little did she know that it was a good thing that her trick didn’t come to fruition, otherwise her collaboration with Daniel would have burned with the incense. Daniel was stubborn as a mule and was not someone who could be coerced. Manipulated, yes…. but coerced, never. It would backfire in ways

  • Never to look back   Call it a woman’s intuition.

    Night Blade brought the kids back after their punishment was over; all of them without exception was dead tired. Marcus had hoped that he would be able to cruise through this one as the kids were coming along. Little did he know that his evil little uncle divided them into two groups, clubbing him, Miles and Vini together and Emm, Chris Jnr and Penny in the other group.Although he fared better than Miles and Vini, it was nothing to be proud of considering he was used to it since he was 10 unlike the others who were experiencing their little uncle’s devilish training for the first time. Unlike Marcus who was complaining non-stop to Darcy and Grace when they came to pick him up, Miles and Vini had a sense of accomplishment while Penny felt that she was a total disgrace as an elder sister.Chris Jnr and Emm were used to the Devil Island training as Chris would take them on training adventures although this was their first-time undergoing punishment training. They just sat quietly observi

    “Get me the details of the person my wife is meeting today.”Night Wing nodded in acknowledgement and left the room while Chris got busy with getting the kids ready to head for the Walter board meeting where all shareholders had to attend quarterly meetings; they could either attend in person or proxy.“Dad, what’s on the agenda for today’s meeting?” Chris Jnr asked as they sat in the car driving towards the headquarters of Walter Empire. Although Chris Jnr’s voice was childish, there was no childishness in the tone. He and Emm were used to board meetings; Chris always took them for the meetings of both Evergreen Heights and Devil’s Empire from when they were 3 months old. They had begun their training from when they were 2 unlike other second-generation rich kids.“Exploring new prospects” Chris’s response was also business-like; he never laudatory in his response with his kids. To him, this was how his kids should be, there was nothing noteworthy in this, it was a norm for his kids.

    “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

    “Yes…. I don’t think either of us will have a choice when those two scheme together.” Chris’s lips curled up; his eyes narrowed with curiosity.Although he was eager to know what his treasures had in store for them, he didn’t look into it as he didn’t want to deprive them of the joy, the joy they got from seeing their expressions towards the element of surprise that his treasures had planned. This reunion was fully to their credit although he didn’t know how they managed; this indulgence was what they deserved.“You mean ….” Emile raised her head curiously to look up at Chris “You mean, the two are plotting?”“How else could you explain me missing my tail?” Chris chuckled “and giving me the luxury to come and find you on my own?”Emile giggled as she leaned comfortably into Chris’s embrace.“Wife, what happened?” Chris asked once they settled comfortably in each other’s embrace.“I am not sure…” Emile paused as she bit her lower lip hesitating before raising her head to look into Chris

    “Hubby, you…. aren’t you getting married to someone else?” Emile asked cautiously in a low voice; no matter how cautious she was, she couldn’t hide the hope in her heart…which transmitted as an excited relief through her voice. “Wife, I have told you before…I, Christopher Walter will only marry once and my wife can only be Emile Burke…” Chris assured patiently, his voice carrying a promise…. an oath of a lifetime… “Hubby….” Emile called out in a soft voice, her lips curling up in a sweet smile, brightening her entire aura; all her grievance melted with his promise…she knew her husband never spoke for verbality. “Um” Chris hummed in a low coaxing voice; his aura too brightened, dissipating the cold, gloomy aura around him…. a simple address from her, calmed his restless soul like magic. At this moment, silence entwined with each other’s calm breathing, seemed to be healing the undue grievance suffered by the two souls who loved each other deeply. “Hubby….” Emile called again, her v

Chris Jnr nodded in acknowledgement as he continued to fidget with his gadgets.‘Duk…duk…duk…’ A soft knock was heard a few minutes later at Chris Jnr’s door.Chris Jnr’s lips curled up in a knowing smirk as he carelessly placed a sheet over his bed, covering his gadgets, and walked over to open the door.“Aren’t you tired? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” Chris Jnr quirked his eyebrows wanting to taunt, however his lips curled down guiltily as he saw his mommy’s red eyes.“Do you have a way to contact your daddy?” Emile quickly entered and closed the door as she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble; she didn’t know if Daniel was still awake or if their voice would attract unnecessary attention.Chris Jnr pursed his lips stubbornly toying with the idea of whether he wanted to pay back his daddy’s grievance or succumb to mommy’s sorry state.
