Chris didn’t dare relax his vigilance even though he knew that Eva was immersed in her schemes and didn’t have time to stare at him. He still kept appearances with his shadow guard as they swapped identities and went on with the weekend rendezvous.

The Walter brothers (and brothers- in-law), Adrian and Neil sat together in the study at Chris’s home base reviewing and collating all the information and POI.

“Regarding Eva’s scheme, we now have conclusive evidence that Marcus is Second young master and Ms Kingsley’s son. We know how the plan came about as well but this hearsay. To close this file, we need evidence for how this was carried out.” Night Wing summarized.

Night Wing “The other POI are Sheryl, Silas and Amanda.”

“Amanda has currently retreated but her whereabouts are unknown.” Night Wing pursed his lips “She slipped while we were careless.”

“Sheryl will not have the strength to come up with schemes in the short term. Boss has ordered the attack on the Shelby corporation. S

  • Never to look back   Who said I am old?

    Emile’s end was not as chaotic as Chris’s. Other than the fact that she was getting heavier and the usual troubles of being six months pregnant, there was nearly nothing exciting. But that was until this morning. This morning was special as, as they were having breakfast, Raphael’s men bought back news. These were results from their investigation of university enrollments. The news that Raphael’s men bought back confirmed Emile’s intuition. Grace had indeed enrolled and completed her bachelors and masters in Archeology. However, there was no information after her graduation. “Shall I pass this information to Chris?” Raphael didn’t know what Emile wanted to do but he was impressed with her deduction. Honestly speaking, he didn’t hold much hope for her theory; he was just indulging her on behalf of Chris. “No” Emile shook her head “We haven’t found Grace. I want to find her.” “What do you have in mind?” Raphael no longer looked down on her ideas. She had earned his respect. “How abo

  • Never to look back   Why didn't I think of this?

    Emile and Raphael arrived back at the Dupont estate on Friday afternoon, just in time for Chris’s arrival. Emile wasn’t worried about the shadow guards or Anne and Dolly snitching on her. She had already convinced them with her twisted logic. It would be a lie to say that Chris didn’t notice that something was amiss when he arrived at the Dupont estate. What exactly, he couldn’t be bothered to think once he saw the beautiful smile on his beloved wife’s face. Even the normally astute and observant Chris missed all the telltale signs and immersed himself in the happiness of re-uniting with his beloved wife; not that Emile did anything to let him down. Raphael looked at everything around him and couldn’t help but chuckle looking the young man whom he admired the most, turn into a fool. He had even made a bet with Emile that Chris would find out what they were up to even before they sat down to eat dinner. Looks like he was destined to lose… the weekend passed by with the husband and wi

  • Never to look back   Has she taken the bait?

    Darcy and Eva landed back at the private landing strip for the Walters in early hours of the morning. All the Walters without exception were present to welcome them home. Eva felt overwhelmed even though she knew the line- up was not for her. She called out respectfully to Adam and Elizabeth before turning to nod at the rest of the family members. No one took any offense. The thing that surprised the Walter women was how lovey-dovey second brother and sister-in-law became…... but then again, perhaps the life and death gave second brother a rude shock, waking him up to cherish those around him. The only one who was not happy about her second brother’s enlightenment was Victoria. For her, love and hate were well defined; just by going to through gates of hell wouldn’t change a thing unless that person exchanged their life as a price of hatred. Eva definitely didn’t have any saving grace by her books. If anything, she was an opportunist who took advantage of her brother’s amnesia. But e

  • Never to look back   Airing dirty laundry isn't fun.... especially when it is about your nearest kin.

    Chris: “Dad there is one more thing.” “Um??” Adam raised his eyebrows. “No matter how I think about this, I can’t narrow down to anyone.” Chris shrugged “Don’t you think that bitch was a bit too inexperienced to have come up with such an elaborate plan?” “You think there is someone behind Eva?” Adam knitted his brows; It was not that he hadn’t thought of this possibility since Chris had brought this scheme to light…. But he too didn’t come across any suspects…. Other than one …... one that he didn’t want to think about …... one that he would rather feign ignorance. “Not think…. I am sure.” Chris narrowed his eyes. He knew that look on his father’s face. Not just him, the rest of the Walter brothers too narrowed their eyes as their gaze fell on their father. The only innocent ones were Thomas, Peter and Lorenzo. They probably didn’t know Adam as well as his own boys! “Dad, it is not that you haven’t suspected…” Mark slowly spoke up “It’s that you don’t want to tell us, isn’t it?”

  • Never to look back   He is the most innocent one in this mess.

    Adam’s mind was in a mess; he didn’t know if he should be glad that his sons didn’t doubt his uncle or be sad that his father was the cause of his son’s misery. There was a reason for Adam’s biased reaction when the suspicion moved from his uncle to his father. His father had done many things to let him down from the time Wren came to stay at their home. Whether it was the despair he saw his mother falling into or messing up his life including his marriage, the number of times his father failed him could no longer be counted by the fingers of his hands. Naturally the impact of such incidents had also led to their relationship being strained beyond repair. The only thread keeping his heart from being consumed by hatred and the thirst for vengeance was his promise to his mother on her deathbed. His uncle on the other hand was different. All the best memories of his childhood were courtesy of his uncle. His uncle had doted on him like he was the most favoured child of heaven. His only

  • Never to look back   A Walter always protects his own.

    Marcus arrived an hour later just as Chris had predicted. He was all too familiar with Chris’s homebase. He had been a regular visitor here since his unfortunate accident. His friendship with his fifth and sixth uncle was the fortune he earned from his misfortune. “What’s the big deal?” Marcus asked he entered the study following Night Wing. “Take a seat” Eric laughed “You aren’t planning to listen and run, are you?” “Nope.” Marcus chuckled as he sat down “Why would I want to run when I can freeload on my favourite uncles?” Eric took the lead to make small talk before Chris started to get down to business. “Marcus, do you remember the accident?” “How could I forget?” Marcus shrugged winking mischievously “How else would I have the fortune to be a regular here? Miles is going to kill when I shatter his bubble of ‘I am the favourite nephew’.” “You wouldn’t dare….” Eric feigned a menacing look. “No promises.” Marcus chuckled softly before turning serious “But I am sure you didn’t

    Darcy couldn’t stand the pressure while he waited for Chris and Eric to update Marcus. He started pacing through the room as he imagined the worst-case scenario where Marcus denied him and refused to accept him. He pulled off his tie as he found it difficult to breathe. He pulled open his top buttons as he paced; he pulled his hair as he threaded it with his hands in despair. He tried calming himself by taking deep breaths, but the truth was, none of this was helping his nerves. He stared anxiously at the door. Finally, as he saw the handle of the door turning, he assumed it was either Chris or Eric who came to update him and rushed towards the door. Embarrassingly, for Darcy, it was neither Chris nor Eric. The scene that entered Marcus’s eyes was an unkempt Darcy rushing forward like a madman. Darcy’s steps paused as he saw the face of the person who opened the door. His face changed like a colour palette before finally losing all colour and lowering his head in depression. Darcy s

    The next two days passed in the blink of an eye and Chris returned while Emile concentrated on her work. She was especially enthusiastic as the end was in sight. Although she was in rush to finish, the quality of her work didn’t slack in the slightest. She took in all the feedback that Raphael gave and improved her work without any complaints. She knew Chris wouldn’t come this week as he had a client meeting overseas. She asked him to pay a visit to her family since it was in their home country. This didn’t seem to have any impact on Chris’s grand scheme as in the eyes of the whole world, Chris would travel a few hours every weekend to go to the Burke residence. Chris wanted his father to accompany him on this trip as they were planning to dig closer to home to check the root of Darcy’s misery. There were some things that were more convenient for Adam to check. Grandpa Walter didn’t want to fallout completely with Adam and his family; as soon as he came to know that Adam was coming

    “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

  • Never to look back   His grievance is no longer righteous.

    “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

  • Never to look back   Hubby…. your son bullied me….

    “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

    “I was thinking out loud about the credibility of the news….” Daniel pursed his lips as he came up with what he thought was a plausible explanation “Considering we were college mates, and our families have collaborated on several projects and yet we were not invited.”“Che!!!” Chris Jnr sneered as he looked at Daniel with disdain “Do you think the legal team of the Walter enterprise is a joke?”“Libel is a serious offense.” Chris Jnr continued with his lips curled lopsidedly in disdain “I don’t think this outlet has money to burn nor the guts to gamble by slandering my….” “Why does a little kid like you have so much to say?” Daniel interrupted Christian, preventing him from completing his sentence and digging a hole for him. He truly regretted his decision to bring this brat back.Chris Jnr shrugged nonchalantly, no longer inclined to complete what he said.“You are right. Why were we not invited?” Emile didn’t want the topic to die down. She wanted to see if she could pick some cues

  • Never to look back   Is your father getting married?

    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. He couldn’t believe Chris didn’t have any intention of leaving Emile even though it appeared that she had betray

    The stalemate between mother and son didn’t last long… as fate intervened in the form of entertainment gossip. On screen was a video of Chris entering the shopping mall with a female while the anchor in the background was excitedly raving about the upcoming nuptials that the whole country was looking forward to.Emile’s heart stopped beating for a minute as she turned her head to look at Chris Jnr with a shell-shocked expression “Is he getting married?”“Why wouldn’t he?” Chris Jnr smirked but before he could pacify his mommy as he saw the color on her face draining, he heard the door to Daniel’s study opening; he turned his head back to the idiot box and watched with an indifferent expression.Emile wanted to ask further but she was thrown back by Chris Jnr’s sudden change in aura. However, even before she could voice her confusion, she heard Daniel’s footsteps nearing the top of the staircase. She now understood what happened to her son and quickly tidied up her expression as well.“
