Walter brothers were extremely busy, each investigating through their own vines. Lorenzo activated his family’s network in the dark. Since Chris’s team had tracked the shipping and later Hugo sailing to Durban and Durban being famous for its dark streaks, they naturally passed this info to Lorenzo. Getting information from these areas was his forte. The most relaxed person these three days was Darcy, enjoying sweet time with his wife and son, trying to catch up on all the years they missed. At the same in Maldives, Eva was having the time of her life, living her dream. The man she loved was hers; she no longer had to be on edge wondering what would happen after Marcus’s birthday which was in another 2 weeks. She knew she could get him to renew the contract and stay as Second Mrs Walter for as long as she had the lives of his parents in her hands, but that wouldn’t guarantee him staying with her. She knew his love for Grace. She couldn’t guarantee that Grace wouldn’t suddenly appear
Eva and Darcy came back after their weeklong honeymoon trip. Contrary to Eva's previous quiet behaviour, this time she flaunted her good fortune without a second thought. Eva could feel the difference in treatment from Elizabeth and Sarah but she was too happy in her own world that she didn’t give it a second thought. In her arrogance, she put down their difference in attitude to them sulking over the fact that he had taken her on a trip instead of their norm. During dinner she distributed the gifts she brought for everyone enthusiastically feigning ignorance to their disgusted indifference. She happily chatted telling them all the details of their trip, she didn’t care if the listener was interested or not; it was as if she was addicted to showing off their love life. The next 2 weeks went by without any incidents. Darcy and Grace lived in their little pink bubble after Marcus reluctantly went back to university. Grace felt her heart well up with warmth and guilt after she knew how
Darcy had just walked in through the front door holding Grace in his arms behind Marcus who looked like he had won the whole world. The appearance of the family of three who walked in with blissful, happy smiles was like driving a sharp knife into Eva’s chest. Her eyes went red with fury as blood rushed into her brain; she couldn’t care less about her image and rushed towards them like a mad woman. Darcy had taken in her movements from the corner of his eyes, but he didn’t want to glorify her reaction with a response. He conveniently feigned ignorance and greeted the guests, casually chatting with those who came up to him. It wasn’t just Darcy, the rest of the Walter clan had seen Eva’s reaction however no one other than Chris had a reaction. Chris nodded towards Night Wing as he saw Eva going crazy and calmly walked towards Darcy. “You bitch…” Eva rushed forward as she scolded and swung her arm towards Grace. Grace closed her eyes knowing that she couldn’t escape since they were su
“How could you………” Eva's choked sobs reverberated in the ears of everyone who came to attend Marcus’s 20th birthday. Some of them couldn’t control the righteous anger bubbling within them although they didn’t want to offend the Walter family, the financial emperor, one that was capable of crippling the economic lifeline of the entire country let alone small fries like them. “Mr Walter how can you be so heartless towards the woman you spent the last twenty years of your life?” One of the hot-blooded men who couldn’t bear to see the beauty in distress scolded without care for his life. With one person leading the way more people became restless. “Even if you have fallen in love with someone else you should not be so unbridled.” Another person scoffed. “Miss, please don’t be like this.” The young lady who came with the first person who spoke out, comforted Eva as she helped her up from where she stumbled down. “Men like this, no matter how rich or handsome they are...” She paused as
“Then why did you run?” The reporter who was zealously examining the marriage certificate asked in a low voice. “Because I am a mother.” Grace pursed her lips contemplating her next words; She sighed as she said her next words “Because I was foolish and a coward.” “I forbid you to say such nonsense.” Darcy spoke in a domineering tone “You are neither foolish nor a coward. You are the woman I love most.” Grace blushed as she lowered her head while Eva’s eyes blazed with jealousy and fury. She wracked her brains to find an opening to tear the bitch's face apart but another reporter stole her chance to speak. “Mr Walter, can you demystify the mystery for us, poor mortals?” Another reporter asked with a chuckle. He didn’t forget to add “The questions we ask tend to make you speak in riddles.” “That’s right, tell us the story.” One of the guests clamoured. One started, the rest followed. These people didn’t really care one way or the other. They just wanted to make a ruckus and have so
“This was the beginning of my second brother’s nightmare…. A nightmare that lasted 21 years.” Eric sighed regretfully as the video reached its end. Showmanship was his forte and he didn’t disappoint one bit. The tempo of his speech and release of information couldn’t be more perfect; it captured the curiosity and hearts of everyone around him other than the Caldwell’s. “I am not sure how this vicious woman knew about second sister-in-law being pregnant, but I have to tremble at the thought of what followed could be cooked up in the mind of a 22-year-old.” Eric looked visibly shaken at the thought. “These are all events that took place when I was still in shorts and so I don’t blame anyone for doubting the authenticity of my words.” Eric had an understanding expression as he continued “I will let you hear from the people who were involved. They will be handed over to the law enforcement officers who are present to authenticate their words. Anyone who has doubts can also verify at that
“I grew up with Eva.” Nicholas seemed to have sunk into his memories as he sat back in the chair “You could call us childhood sweethearts.” “Eva was the most kind and beautiful girl I ever saw.” Nicholas sighed “But things changed after her father’s business got busier and they moved to the city.” “She didn’t seem to have much time, but she still managed to come to see me and spend time with me. At that time, my family wasn’t very well off, but she didn’t mind. She would even give me her pocket money so that I could buy extra books to read. I swore to myself that I would always cherish and protect her.” Night Wing frowned. It was hard to imagine that Nicholas was describing the vicious, heartless woman they knew. Chris’s lips curled in disdain as he asked “Did she just visit you? What did you guys do?” “We…. We didn’t do anything.” Nicholas frowned as he defended “We were kids, our minds were not dirty as you think.” “How do you know what I thought?” Chris smirked as he goaded “If
“Heh! Very ambitious dream.” Chris and Eric scoffed in unison. “What? You want to send me to prison?” Eva’s lips curled up in disdain “Is that why you have such an impressive line up?” “Prison???” Chris let out a shallow laugh “Wouldn’t that be letting you off too easy??” “Do I look that easy to bully?” Chris turned his gaze towards Eva; his gaze had the flames from hell, enough to burn her into eighteen levels of hell. Eva felt a shiver in the core of her being as her gaze met Chris’s; Although she was several years older than him, she had to admit that she had never seen such an intimidating gaze. Even so, she tried her best to not show any signs of how shaken she was and feigned indifference as she laughed “Bully????” "Who is bullying whom?” She shrieked as she pointed at the two brothers; No matter how she tried, she couldn’t control her fury once she thought about it. “Does 20 years of my life mean nothing?” She yelled, shaking in anger. “Did we ask you?” Chris asked with i
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.
