“You said… I…sent…her….a ….message???” Abbey stammered, her complexion turning pale.Chris cursed out loud losing his composure as he stormed out the room. Night Wing hugged Abbey in a feeble attempt to pacify her before hurrying after Chris.Chris’s voice wasn’t very loud, but it did succeed in attracting the attention of all the Walter and Burke siblings, especially with the eye catchingly cute, duck wading gait of the two treasures, trying to keep up with their father’s pace.“What’s wrong?” Henry was before Abbey even before anyone could blink; the reason for his speed was because he knew his brother-in-law all too well. Nothing could make him lose his composure unless the news was related to his beloved wife, their beloved sister.“I… didn’t….” Abbey shook her head and stammered in panic. She was frightened beyond her wits… not by Chris’s outburst or Henry’s questioning, but because of the knowledge that she might caused harm to Emile although she didn’t know how.“What are you do
Many miles away, in a hospital, in a quiet coastal town, in one of the most luxurious suites of the hospital, a lady was lying on the hospital bed. Although she was asleep, her brows knitted together, and facial muscles tensed as though her dreams were bothering her; a man sat beside the bed, his face hidden in the shade, quietly working away on his computer as he waited for the lady to wake up.A tall, slim built man in white coat entered once he was invited in. The man in the white coat was none other than Dr Carl Burhart who had disappeared from Lenin’s office a month ago.He checked the vitals of the lady who was sleeping with a disturbed expression before turning to update the man sitting diligently by the bedside “She is stable. We can start any time now. But it has to be in the next 4 hours.”“Let’s not waste time then, start now.” The man turned to his head to face Carl with an apprehensive body language although he sounded confident. Who else could it be other than Daniel Hols
Back at the hospital, Carl once again assessed all of Emile’s vitals, making sure she was tolerating the drug well and noted his observations. Just as she was about to wake up, he injected the rest of the drug from the larger 30 ml syringe at a slow rate as he activated the machine simultaneously.He continued with the drumming on the gong, similar to the previous session with a difference in the rhythm and sound produced; unlike the previous serenity, this time the effect it produced was a sense of danger and panic and ultimately fear. After another half hour, he slowly reduced the tempo, slowly winding it down till there was no longer any audible sound before stopping.Carl didn’t understand the science behind the effect of the sound. He just was mechanically repeating what Song Kun had taught him while they were experimenting on the previous 3 subjects. The gist of what he understood was that this sound along with the electrical impulses would stimulate the nerves further, triggerin
“Master….” Bai-Min and Lai-Li called in unison as they saw their master spitting yet another mouthful of blood. They had just finished the little girl’s treatment and were regulating their internal energy when they heard their master coughing with a mouthful of blood. However, both of them were shocked by the amount of blood on the floor.They rushed out to their master’s side, but he had already fainted. Neither knew what had happened. Why would their master who was perfectly fine, who was sitting quietly supervising them, vomit blood? However now was not the time to get to the bottom of the puzzle. The priority now was to get master to the healing spring that was rich in spiritual energy.Bai-Min carried master and rushed to the healing spring without delay while Lai-Li bought the little girl out to the room where her parents were anxiously waiting.“We have expelled the poison, but she is still weak and vulnerable.” Lai-Li spoke in a calm tone although she was anxious to get back to
Grandpa Holston held the phone with a lost expression; Matthias had never spoken to him with such disrespect, not even when his grandson had tortured Emile so much. Not only did he speak harshly, but he even warned him.“Manuel” Grandpa Holston called out to his old butler without even looking at the time once he came out of his stupor.“Where is that brat?” Grandpa Holston asked as soon as the old butler entered the room “What is he up to now?”“Young master must be busy with his work.” The old butler didn’t know what excitement the old man had suffered to call him out in the middle of the night and answered in a calm tone.“Busy with work… heh!” Grandpa Holston spat out in anger “He must be trying to get me to my grave sooner….” He coughed, choking on his own temper. The old butler hurriedly walked over to massage Grandpa Holston’s chest as he tried to pacify him “Young master loves his grandpa the most… why don’t you calm down and sleep for a while longer?”“I will go and investigat
“Relax…” Carl’s deep soothing voice sounded at just the right time. He stood up and walked closer to Emile and ordered as he looked into her eyes “Sleep…. Don’t think too much. Everything will be fine when you have rested enough.”No one noticed his hands that were drumming the gong in a meditative manner as he approached Emile. Emile’s eyes slowly became dazed as she nodded obediently, her eyes slowly becoming heavier as she laid down to rest. She fell asleep within no time, without struggling or resisting the urge to close her eyes. Carl stood by her bedside drumming with his gong as he signalled Daniel not to speak with his eyes.“Sleep peacefully, your husband will keep watch over you while you sleep.” Carl spoke in a deep, authoritative voice once he felt that Emile was not just asleep but also entered into a trance, “Don’t worry about the events that have passed, don’t worry about the images that are unclear in your head.”“You are both young, you can just create new memories.” C
Emile was discharged from hospital by mid-morning. Daniel took Emile to their manor along the south coastal area. The manor was especially arranged to welcome Daniel and Emile’s arrival with all the servants waiting excitedly in an impressive line-up to welcome their master and his wife. Emile had been in state of confusion since she woke up yesterday; she mechanically followed Daniel from the hospital to the manor. She didn't have any reaction even though Daniel tried to make light conversation throughout the car ride from the hospital to manor. She kept staring blankly at the changing scenery through the window, occasionally humming to indicate that she was listening.Daniel's enthusiasm was not affected in the slightest with her lukewarm attitude. He was looking forward to seeing her reaction when she saw their love nest that he had painstakingly prepared in the last few months. He was sure that she would be overwhelmed by his sincerity and didn't have any qualms of failing in this
Daniel turned his head to look out the window as he heard the sound of the car driving in. He frowned as he saw the familiar car driving up the driveway to the front porch. He let out a helpless sigh as he put down his work and walked out of the room to greet the guest who had arrived unceremoniously.“Grandpa, why are you here?” Daniel asked in a helpless tone as he came down the stairs.“Bastard… what are you doing?” Grandpa Holston lost his temper as soon as he arrived “If I don’t come now, am I waiting to collect your remains?”“Grandpa, calm down.” Daniel held Grandpa Holston’s arm as he coaxed “It’s not as serious as you think.”“Not serious??? Not serious???” Grandpa Holston repeated himself panting in anger “Do I have to wait for the Holston name to be erased from history before it becomes serious?”“Grandpa, calm down.” Daniel spoke calmly “Let’s discuss whatever you need to say in the study.”Grandpa Holston shook his head helplessly as he allowed Daniel to walk him to the st
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 joined
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 relatives
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 with
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 be
“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.A
“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.
