Danzel cleared his throat as he stood up, he would have preferred to run without looking back but that wasn’t an option here.“Your Honor, my client is aware and remorseful of his past actions.” Danzel didn’t have the confidence to look at Judge Bianchini “His plea is for a chance, a second chance to make up for his past, a chance to make amends to his kids, a chance to be better.”“Defence council”“Your Honor, I repeat my previous question seeking the court’s benevolent judgement.” Thomas smiled “Who would the court deem suitable to be a father, one who refuses to accept responsibility and forces the mother to have abortion or the one who convinces and supports the mother to give birth and cares for them?”“I would also like to respectfully ask, is the responsibility of nurturing of a child, one that deserves to be gambled with, keeping in mind that children are the future our country?”“May I ask the court who will be responsible if the child loses the shade of a parent who loves an

“Madam, would you like to comment on today’s verdict?” Reporters crowded around Emile even before she had a chance to leave the court room. Chris who had just walked over to Thomas frowned visibly as he gestured Night Wing to clear the reporters away. However, even before Night Wing could take a step forward, Emile who was standing with her and Chris’s sisters-in-law (and sisters) opened her mouth with a smile “Justice is served.”“Madam, we were called here today by your ex-husband for observing and broadcasting the court proceedings.” One of the reporters who felt sorry for Emile after witnessing everything at the court proceedings and decided to come clean “I didn’t expect the truth to be so far from what we were led to believe. I am sorry but I promise to report everything I witnessed today truthfully, if you permit.”“And if I don’t?” Emile chuckled lightly.“I will respect your choice.” The reporter responded a graceful smile.“Won’t you be in trouble with your editor?” Emile rai

All the reporting firms and reporters that joined in the fun with the exception of the reporter who found his conscience after the court hearing ceased to operate the day after the court hearing; some declared bankrupt while others were acquired and converted into businesses that had nothing to do with journalism and mass media communications.The Walters and Burkes got together at Chris’s place for a family breakfast before the Burkes left. Adam and Elizabeth were also in attendance with Elizabeth on her best behaviour. The adults sat in the formal dining area while the youngsters had their breakfast in the informal dining area.“Wasn’t that a bit cruel?” Henry asked Chris without the slightest sincerity when he sat for breakfast the next day. Inwardly, he was full of appreciation for this brother-in-law of his; he was too much to his liking.“Cruel??” Chris lifted his eyebrows arrogantly “The basic skill for a reporter is the discernment of authenticity of the news they are reporting

The next few weeks passed peacefully for Chris and Emile while the final preparations for the banquet for celebrating the 50th year of the Walter Empire were being completed; No effort or expense was spared in preparing the banquet of the era where all partners regardless of how small or how big the partnership was, were invited with the same etiquette nor were any dignitaries forgotten.Emile and Nola were responsible for making sure their family were the best dressed and were completely wiped out by the time they finished everyone’s outfit; House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions stopped taking new orders in the month leading up to banquet.Emile and Nola decided to modify the trend of couple dressing to family dressing; Embroidery done in the darker or lighter shade of their cloth with a fine silver border was the common theme while the ladies dresses had more embellishments. The other common feature was the style and colour scheme.While Emile’s end was busy yet peaceful, not ev

Daniel had no idea how he came back to his hotel room, nor did he know how long he slept for. He sat in his bed in the hotel room looking at George with a confused gaze. He stared at George for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to ask “Is the court hearing really over? Did I ….”“Boss, let’s go home.” George spoke in a dejected tone.“Home???” Daniel’s lips curled down in self-ridicule “Do I have one anymore?”“Boss, we missed this boat. Let’s not delve on it….” George paused as he wasn’t sure if Daniel was listening, he observed Daniel’s reaction and slowly opened his mouth once again once he confirmed that Daniel had heard what he said.“Boss, shall I book our return flights?”“Um” Daniel nodded before stopping him “Wait…. I want to see my kids one last time…. even if I have to beg that arrogant bastard.” The last part of his sentence was said under his breath in a whisper.George didn’t think this was a good idea, but he complied considering his boss’s state.Daniel got Ge

Daniel didn’t know how to respond; he looked at them helplessly before speaking in a low voice “I don’t know what Mr Walter told you.” Daniel couldn’t get himself to call Chris as their father… that title was his… he paused as he gathered his thoughts looking at the duo that were red with anger, with a gaze filled with love.“But know this, I didn’t… I never said I didn’t want you nor did I say I hate you.” Daniel looked at Chris Jnr who was an exact replica of his younger self as he repeated “I didn’t know you existed. Otherwise, I would have bought you home earlier.”“Do you think you can fool us just because we are just four years old?” Emm pushed Daniel who was leaning closer to them. He didn’t have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have, all he wanted was to hug his kids.“Heh! If you knew, we would have already been reduced to ashes and gone into the reincarnation cycle.” Chris Jnr scoffed as he too pushed Daniel who was kneeling besides them.Daniel lost his balance and fell backw

“Boss, Neil and the rest have landed at our homebase.” Night Wing informed Chris once Daniel left.“Are they coming over?” Chris asked as he stood up.“Yes, they were on their way, should be here any minute. Night Vigil informed me about 5 mins ago.” Night Wing responded as he followed Chris towards the basement.Two tiny heads popped at the head of the stairs; they ran down to hug Chris legs seeing that Daniel had left “Daddy, are you angry? Should we apologize again?”Chris knelt down to pick the duo, he tapped Emm’s nose with a doting smile as he reprimanded “Little ghost, who are you apologizing to? Didn’t you wait upstairs till everyone left?”“Hmph” Emm hmphed as she crossed her arms and lifted her head defiantly.“Daddy, you are not being honest.” Chris Jnr too folded his arms as he looked at Chris with an accusatory gaze.“Oh???” Chris hooked his eyebrows with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.Chris Jnr: “Didn’t you tell us that we have to be honest? Then why did you make us a

Marcus rushed back hearing that Chris Jnr and Emm were going to Devil Island; he didn’t wait to hear or process the rest of the information as to why they were going. The only reason to be sent to Devil Island other than during school holidays was punishment; he didn’t need to think before rushing back.“Little uncle, I am responsible. They didn’t know anything. They only came along with me.” Marcus stood in front of Chris with a flushed, sweaty face, like a martyr, ready to meet his maker.“Responsible for?” Chris along with the rest of the people in the room all had an amused expression while both Chris Jnr and Emm face palmed in unison.“Responsible for…….” Marcus nodded as he rolled his eyes around thinking what the little imps could have done in the short span of yesterday evening when he last saw them and now, he repeated “Responsible for…….” as he looked at Chris Jnr for cues.“Daddy, you are not allowed to bully eldest brother.” Emm stomped her feet pouting. She couldn’t stand

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.

“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

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

Emile felt a bit anxious as she entered the room with Chris’s and Neil’s masters. Although she knew them, she wasn’t very familiar with them. She looked towards Lai-Li with an anxious gaze; Lai- Li was the only person in the group whom she knew a little better.“It will be alright.” Lai-Li comforted in a gentle voice as she saw Emile’s gaze resting on her uncomfortably.“Master Walter’s mood might get agitated and that won’t help us.” She explained patiently as she saw that the concern in Emile’s gaze hadn’t dispersed. “Neil is not used to our world, and he will be in a daze and that will not help our cause as we will need to be quick.”Although Emile didn’t fully understand, she nodded. She had seen Chris do unbelievable things before, stuff that couldn’t be explained by logic and science alone.“It will be quick. Everything will be back to normal as soon as you wake up.” Lai-Li coaxed gently as she patted her hands while Emile’s lids gradually grew heavier and finally, she closed her

“Daddy, little treasure is here.” Emm tugged Chris’s pants with grievance. She had been waiting patiently for daddy to coax little baby and carry her, but little baby had no intention of coming down.“Daddy’s little treasure is the most understanding treasure in the world.” Chris smiled as he knelt and carried Emm along with Bruno and headed to wait in front of the door.“Little brother, let me…” Darcy stepped forward extending his hands towards Chris with a sheepish smile. He wondered if he really was not cut out to be a good father; he was happily standing watching the drama unfold when Grace nudged him with a reproachful glare as she gestured with her eyes towards Bruno.“It’s okay.” Chris chuckled looking at Darcy’s embarrassment before turning his doting gaze towards his little treasure and then Bruno.Neither looked at him as they were both looking at the closed door with similar anxious expressions although the cause of their anxiety was different. Little baby’s world only had B
