“Little brother is right.” Mark opened his mouth once again as he reached the car park “Our tolerance cannot be the measure to harm us even if it is our loved ones.”

“I was thinking about it as I walked back” Mark continued “All of us felt compelled to plead with little brother not to be heartless because we saw mom’s pain from his words and actions but none of us saw his pain. Probably we would never understand.” Mark sighed.

“Other than second brother, none of us have actually suffered the blow he has.” Mark shook his head “I tried to see from his point of view while I was coming down with you all….” Mark paused as he lowered his head guiltily “Even the thought made me want to cut all ties and never look back….”

“It hurt over here ….” Mark rubbed his chest “hurt so terribly that it was difficult to breathe…. I cannot think what little brother went through.”

No one spoke as they mulled over Mark words. It made sense, none of them had actually experienced the pain from mom’s underh

  • Never to look back   Surprise!

    The next morning Emile woke up in good spirts although she was still weak physically, everything else was progressing well. She looked at the two babies who were sleeping between her and Chris. The strange thing was both babies seemed to be more attached to Chris than her. She looked at the duo that were curled in his arms with a satisfied smile although a strange pang of loss flashed past her eyes. ‘Oh, how she wished they were his!’ But the past was not something that could be undone. “What are you thinking about?” It was the loss that flashed past her eyes that caught Chris’s eyes the moment he woke up. He didn’t know why but he felt a dull ache in his heart as blurted out the question, the answer to which he didn’t want to hear. “I was wishing that I could undo the past. That way I wouldn’t be as stupid as I was in the past and they would truly be yours…...ours.” Emile blurted in a daze without realizing. In her defence, she hadn’t truly woken up. She was still swimming in the s

  • Never to look back   Do you think I want him to hate me?

    Burkes stayed for the rest of the evening before going back. Of course, Emile wasn’t the centre of their focus as always…. Sadly, even though she complained several times, other than the babies, they didn’t have anyone else in their eyes giving Chris a chance to show off his steadfast love for her and score several times in front of Emile. Burkes felt it was very strange that none of the Walters showed up but decided to ignore the elephant in their hearts until Harry couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Brother-in-law, why didn’t your family come to visit?” Harry hooked his eyebrows before asking in a teasing tone “Weren’t you siblings especially close?” “They are busy. I told them not to disturb my peace.” Chris shrugged without taking any offense. “Third brother, you are being rude.” Emile pouted before telling everyone how Chris’s siblings decided to stay away from home till everything quietened down so that they would not be forced to act as mediators. “Well done.” Matthias laughed a

  • Never to look back   Please forgive my cowardice.

    Following Adam’s heart to heart with Elizabeth, she didn’t insist on going to the hospital and decided to listen to her husband to give the children time and space to heal. Without Elizabeth's theatrics, Chris and Emile had the peace of mind to slowly take care of themselves and the babies under the indulgence and pampering of the Burkes and Grandpa Holston. Grandpa Holston cherished every second with his great-grandchildren. He lavished the tiny tots with gifts; he gifted the duo a private villa each in Maldives in addition to all the other gifts he brought them. It was almost as though he got infected with the shopping ghost, going berserk shopping all the toys and dresses, he could get his hands on. Chris and Emile repeatedly advised Grandpa Holston not to waste gifts on the tiny tots who had no idea what was happening; Every time they advised him, he would laugh and say that his coffin was rather thin and he couldn't take anything with him when he left. Emile and Chris could only

  • Never to look back   Dad, that lousy acting of yours can only fool mom.

    Everyone sat with a resentful expression as Mark read the contents of the letter. “What a heartless little brother?” Veronica pouted regretfully “I didn’t even get to see the twins. “Me too.” Nola pouted “We should have hugged little sister-in-law’s thigh.” “Yeah…. That little brother is too heartless, it would have been better to dote on little sister-in-law. At least she wouldn’t have ditched us so mercilessly.” Darcy too joined in the fun along with his sisters. “That's why you should have been friends with the Burkes.” Eric shrugged “At least my best friend was kind enough to send me pictures of my nephew and niece, even though it was to show off that he is their favourite uncle.” Although Eric’s original intention was to show off in front of his siblings, his tone turned sour at the end. “You have pics?” Both Veronica and Nola spoke in unison. Veronica didn’t wait for a response and snatched Eric’s phone. She handed it over to her husband to open the lock. Eric’s phone had

  • Never to look back   I have already given 20 years.

    Eva waited for the next time I12 came to deliver food for her. It took another 2 weeks before I12 finally appeared before her. Eva put on a docile appearance and stuttered as she asked with a face full of hesitation “That…. That …. That…. Can I ask if you were the one who was with me for the last few months?” “Che!!!” I12 sneered “Did you really think that after 20 years, second young master suddenly took a fancy to you? Are you worthy?” “Yes, that was my wishful thinking.” Eva smiled with a face full of remorse “But I have woken up, since there is no fate, there is no need to waste anymore of time. I have already given 20 years.” I12 really wanted to slap the woman who was performing a lousy act in front of him, but he had to hold it in. His chief had told that it was more fun to see this person’s expression after crumbling their sandcastle. However, for that, he had to patiently endure till the person finished building their sandcastle. Luckily, unlike his other brothers, his stre

  • Never to look back   What are friends for?

    Emile and Chris reached their private villa around late in the evening along with Raphael and their entourage. From the Dupont’s staff only Danos came along; Raphael wasn’t worried about security while he was travelling with Chris as he had absolute trust in Chris and knew how efficient Chris’s men were. All of Chris’s men other than the Shadow guards that were permanently stationed at their manor ‘Château de L'Amour Éternel’ all came over to celebrate the christening of their young master and mistress. Chris opened up the rooms at Neil’s place as well to accommodate everyone as the Burkes and Grandpa Holston was coming over. He decided to put Raphael, Grandpa Holston, Eldest uncle, second uncle and Auntie Pearl at Neil’s place as it would be quieter for them. Raphael and Grandpa Holston got along really well, and Chris didn’t have any doubts about the elders in the Burke household getting along with them. The younger generation and their kids were all arranged to stay at Chris’s pl

  • Never to look back   I will take the risk.

    Eva’s days weren’t hard just monotonous but for someone like Eva whose sole existence was based on being the centre of attention, this was worst than death. She tried to get on I12’s good books without making any progress. The only proof that she existed, and that life was going one, was her increasing tummy. No one cared about Eva’s disappearance, not even the brother whose success was written with her life. The saddest thing was that he never bothered to even enquire where she was, when she failed to return home. He knew that she had been kicked out of Walter residence and the only place she had to go was their home and yet he didn’t even give it a second thought when she didn’t turn up for days. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and yet no one seemed to remember the existence that was once the life of every party in the elite society. Finally, Eva’s delivery date arrived; although Eva would never have chosen to give birth to this child, as time went by, so did her f

  • Never to look back   Delayed justice

    Eva couldn’t come up for a reason for why I12 would want to harm their baby; he didn’t seem like someone who hated children, nor did he seem to hate their child. She waited for a week hoping to ask I12 what the reason was, but he never came to visit after she saw him the day she came out of the theatre after delivery. A week later as Eva was about to be discharged, the nurse told her that there was a visitor for her. Eva didn’t care about her image and ran towards the direction that the nurse pointed out. No one had come for her in the last four months. Why would anyone other than I12 look for her? She knew that it was I12; today she had to ask why they made her give birth early putting both the child and her in danger; she had to ask why he didn’t even allow her to see her child once. However, nothing ever seems to go her way since the day she was kicked out of Walter residence. Contrary to her expectations, it wasn’t I12 who was asking for her. It wasn’t even someone she knew. She

    “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 was setting up his gadgets to contact little treasure when Night Sonic announced that he had taken care of everything. 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. However, he gave u

    The day went by without any surprises till everyone sat to watch television after dinner at 6:45, this was the norm in the manor. Although this was the norm, today was different; different because the mental state of the three people seated in the room was not the same as every other day.On the surface it looked like a family of three enjoying a little downtime, however the waves surging underneath the calm exterior were far from calm, perhaps even using the word turbulent to describe the situation would be an understatement.Daniel narrowed his eyes as he thought about what despicable measures, he could use to force Chris to agree to divorce and speed up the process. He had already made arrangements to get a marriage certificate that was legal and valid as soon as the divorce was finalized even without Emile’s consent.However, Chris was proving to be a tough nut to crack.
