“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
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
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.
