“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

    The whole country woke up next day with the scandalous affairs of Ms Caldwell splashed all over the newspaper. The coverage of the scandalous affair was not just restricted to newspapers, it was spread across all media outlets like wildfire. However, Eva was sleeping in a daze unaware of mess outside. She had no idea how she returned to the Caldwell manor last night. In a fit of rage, she thrashed everything within her reach; After rage, overcome by grief, she fell on her bed bursting into tears. She had no idea why everything turned out the way it. She couldn't understand why Darcy couldn't fall in love with her after everything she did for him; She had no idea when or how she fell asleep or what was happening in the outside world. “EVA............…EVA…........EVA…...........you damm woman.......” In a daze, Eva heard her brother bellowing. She frowned without opening her eyes. She had no idea what had gotten into her brother. He would never yell at her; all the benefits for the Ca

    “BZZZZZ………BZZZZZ……..BZZZZZ” As seconds rolled on, the buzzing got louder and louder. After a few seconds of wonder at how the bug grew in size so quickly, the Walters began to get bored. Other then the sound turning to irritating they was no changes to the Walters. Eva’s eyebrows knitted in confusion. She had been observing the Walters ever since she fed the bug with her blood. According to the herbalist that she bought this poison from the Walters should have shown signs of being poisoned and becoming mad… however, other than irritation, there was nothing more. She wanted to belief that she had been swindled but the bug did grow in size after drinking her blood…. More to the point, it didn’t die even after lying dormant for so many years. If everything else the herbalist said was correct, then……...What went wrong? “What??? The party started without me?” Neil walked in with his usual cynical humour as Eva was reeling in her thoughts. “You????” Eva narrowed her eyes as she thought

  • Never to look back    I met the most amazing human.

    Eva had no idea how she left the Walter residence as she walked around in a daze. She had arrived at the Walter residence full of confidence, exuding the aura of a queen who had never known defeat and yet now, she was strolling the streets like a lost soul. She didn’t know where to go other than stroll around the streets. Home??? She knew better than anyone what kind of a person her brother was. Unless she could bring him benefits…... there was no kinship. Forget about consolation, he wouldn’t even give her a place to stay. But could she really blame him? Wasn’t she the same sort of person? After wandering aimlessly for who knows how long, Eva found herself in front of a building she hadn’t visited in more than a decade. Love Nest was not your typical indulgence bar. All sorts of people and shady deals were carried out under the witness of the neon lights that filled one’s body and soul with lust and greed. Eva looked at the signboard and let out a shallow laugh. She had never thoug

    “No…. no….no…. That’s not what I meant.” Neil almost slapped himself as he realized how muddled his explanation was. “What I explained right now was how the treatment was supposed to work.” Neil sighed “But somehow, one of the students who came under Master’s tutelage was not appreciative of Master’s intentions and teachings. He must have learned in secret while the master was teaching. And once he felt that he had learned enough he left master’s discipleship and started his own sect.” “The technique Eva used is very similar, but it is demonic act where the bug that she nurtured is almost like a killer bug. Mr and Mrs Walter were made to ingest the eggs.” “Why would mom and dad eat that?? Ewww!” Veronica was first to react as she made a disgusted puking expression. “It could have mixed with any food or drink. You wouldn’t even know.” Neil continued as he saw their unconvinced expressions “Auntie loved Eva so much and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law so it was only natural to b

    “This has nothing to do with my daddy. We are the ones who bought our mommy back.” Chris Jnr stood tall as he crossed his arms and looked at Grandpa Holston in anger; Emm, too had the same expression, her face red with anger. If it was another occasion, everyone would have laughed looking at the 1-inch dwarfs who were protecting their daddy behind them. “Great grandpa…. didn’t….” Grandpa Holston couldn’t bear to see the accusatory anger in the eyes of his most precious great grandchildren; he could bear anything; he was ready to bear the curses of the whole world when he decided to close his eyes towards his grandson’s action, but he didn’t factor in his great grandchildren. “You know what you did.” Chris Jnr retorted without giving him any face; his daddy, mommy and little treasure were his bottom line. “I don’t think you want me to glorify it by spelling it out for you.” “Big treasure….” Chris called out, a restraining command in his tone. “Hymph!” Chris Jnr hmphed as he turned

    “The old master Holston is here.” The butler announced breaking Chris and Henry’s stalemate, “Can daddy’s big treasure go and play with the others?” Chris asked in a gentle voice. Big treasure pouted, clearly refusing to walk away as he knew what great grandpa was here for. He hesitated for a minute before resolutely shaking his head in refusal and ditching Chris for the first time since he was born and walked over to take a seat on the sofa all by himself, with his head held high and lips pursed stubbornly. Just as Chris was thinking about how to coax big treasure, he heard another set of tiny steps pitter pattering towards him; his heart literally sank as he turned around to face the culprit. He could face almost anything that life throws at him without batting an eyelid except for these two little ancestors…. He was bound to be at loss, every single time. “Is little treasure late?” Emm asked Chris Jnr worriedly, without sparing a glance at her daddy and unreliable mommy. “I hea

    The rest of Burkes followed suit without waiting for either Chris or Emile to respond; curiosity had gotten the better of them.Little baby was not stupid. How would he dare question little aunt? He looked over nonchalantly before making a gesture with his meaty fingers to indicate payment.“What do you want?” Both Harry and Addison asked in excitement.“I am very rich for the time being, so I will let Leo choose.” Little baby responded with a smug look and passed the honours to Leo.“Take us all on the trip to the Alps when fifth Uncle Walter is taking them.” Leo didn’t have to think as he told Addison what he wanted.Addison agreed without a second thought and walked back into the room the adults were seated, humming a song only to be despised by his mother, which he totally ignored and sat down happily with a thick skin.The fate of the rest of the Burke brothers were similar; no one was spared. Henry who was complacent looking at the miserable fate of his brothers, got a rude wakeu

    “Where are you going?” Henry teased as he caught the little overlord and hurled him in the air.“Put me down.” Bruno frowned, flailing his legs anxiously “I haven’t finished discussing with little uncle.”Everyone laughed as Henry put Bruno down, who promptly ran to Chris, looked up at him curiously, awaiting his decision.“Hur…hur…hur….” Chris chuckled “How would I dare renegade on a promise to our little overlord?”“Then when can we go?” Bruno asked seriously, taking no offense to the title, to him, this was recognition of his ability.“When we get back and whenever you say the word.” Chris never had any qualms indulging his nephews and nieces.“Where are we going?” Leo asked curiously.Bruno looked towards Chris who shrugged “It’s up to to the owner of the reward to decide, I am just the charioteer.”“Then let’s go to the ocean king’s castle.” Bruno didn’t have to think twice to make a decision.Chris “”Everyone burst out laughing, only the little ones looked curiously at Chris.“I

    He was smart enough to decipher big treasure's cryptic message that he could find the answer by testing them himself, after sulking for a while, thinking about big treasure’s words over and over again. He rushed to Chris’s room once again, pulled Big Treasure aside and whispered hurriedly before running away. He then ran off to the apartment where the Burkes where resting. He went over to call Leo and Liam to play with him in the backyard with a crafty look in his eyes. All the Burke kids followed Leo and Liam to play, the main intent for the older kids following them was to keep them safe.He turned around to look at Leo with a guilty look in his eyes as he asked cautiously, “Would you stop talking to me if you find out that I landed you in trouble to test you?”“Why do you want to test me?” Leo demanded with a frown.“Because it is very important to me.” Bruno blinked his eyes, lowering his gaze as he whispered, “Like life and death situation that grown-ups talk about.”“Well, in tha

  • Never to look back   I knew big treasure loved me the most.

    After the excitement died down, everyone decided to go out, sight-seeing, like proper tourists. Adam invited his friends who politely stayed back at the hotel sensing that Adam and the rest had family matters to sort out, to join the group. Just like that, the Burkes, Walters, Adam’s three friends, the two masters, Chris’s senior brother, Bai-Min and Lai-Li set off on their wild-life adventure, that they had booked with one of the tour groups. It goes without saying that the group included Adrian and his little family and Neil who dragged Chiara along with him. What was unexpected was that Emm pulled Amy, Abbey’s assistant to tag along with them. Luckily for Amy, she had Beth who got dragged into the family outing by Marcus to keep her company. Her boss had ditched her without a conscience the minute her ‘knight in shining armour’ appeared. On their return trip, even though they were all chatting, what attracted everyone’s attention was little treasure’s soft cute voice “Daddy, is it

    The next morning, everyone was in high spirits without even a trace of the anxiety that passed through; although they were still waiting for an explanation, a closure to whole saga. The breakfast table was lively and cheerful. “Son, tell me is Emile really pregnant?” Elizabeth couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She asked once everyone had settled in the lounge area to relax after breakfast. “Um” Chris nodded although he was displeased inwardly; he wondered if his mother had truly changed or whether she was about to revert to her old ways. “Tell us how you know what was wrong with Little aunt.” Miles piped in from the background, turning everyone’s attention towards big treasure and little treasure, after being signalled by Marcus. He didn’t know why eldest brother wanted him to divert the topic, but he still obeyed. He didn’t always have to know the reason; eldest brother was in charge; he would follow whatever eldest brother asked him to do. “Daddy was too lost. We knew we had to

    Outside the room, Chris Jnr finally managed to coax little treasure and sighed in relief. There was nothing he could do about it, his little ears and heart hurt from listening to little treasure’s wails. He would compensate his little brother in other ways. “How is your mommy?” Chris asked once little treasure had been coaxed. “She is fine.” Chris Jnr thought for a minute before answering; his mommy looked fine, she was sleeping peacefully. He leaned forward, close to Chris, gesturing little treasure to come close and whispered with a soft voice “Daddy, I touched a dragon.” “A what?” Little treasure’s eyes widened, surprise mixed with disbelief, reflecting in those adorable eyes. “Um” Chris Jnr nodded with all seriousness in affirmation to little treasure but not before he gestured little treasure to be quiet. “Daddy, are dragons real?” Little treasure leaned even closer as she whispered. “Maybe…” Chris shrugged before closing his eyes and mind linking with the two treasures “Da

    “Jnr might be a good option.” Chris’s master slowly opened his mouth once he finished sifting everyone’s faces through his mind.Hua Yueren lifted his eyebrows questioningly.“He has been around her while she was away. Naturally, the apparition although only a figment of Azure’s consciousness, it will still be sharp enough to sense a friend from a foe. Also, since he is her biological son, his spirit must have a lingering smell of her essence.”Hua Yueren nodded; he didn’t have any better solution. They would re-think their plans if this one backfired.Chris’s master transmitted his message to Spector who promptly brought Chris in, in his usual manner of teleportation.Chris Jnr greeted the two masters and stood straight, neither servile nor overbearing, quietly waiting instructions; his demeanour brought a glint of admiration to the eyes for both men.“Son, can you see the apparition surrounding your mother?” Chris’s master knelt beside Chris Jnr so that he could level his gaze with h
