“Tell me, what do you intend to do?” Silas leaned forward as his lips curled up flirtatiously. “How long do you think they can be proud if they have internal conflict?” Sheryl smiled sweetly; No one would think that this woman was talking about something sinister with such an expression. “Heh! Dream on” Silas laughed. He knew his cousins best; nothing could come between them. “Don’t be too quick to judge.” Sheryl wasn’t annoyed; She swirled her drink lazily as she asked, “What do you think is Uncle Adam’s bottom line?” “Auntie Elizabeth.” Silas didn’t have to think. “What do you think is Chris’s weak point?” She asked again. “How in the devil would I know?” Silas grumbled as he downed his drink in anger. “Think…” Sheryl prompted as she hinted “Who did he disregard you all for?” “Emile?” “Bingo” Sheryl’s smile widened but it didn’t have the charm that a woman’s smile should have but it was rather scary. “Now, think what would happen if there was a conflict between the two?” Sh
Daniel did travel all the way to Royale Lux the next day. Just as Sheryl predicted, he did miss catching up to her. Although he felt frustrated, he calmed himself and asked the reception staff for more information. He pretended to be a good friend of Emile’s who was meant to be catching but with her but got delayed by personal circumstances. The receptionist, who was already charmed by Daniel, didn’t see past his lie. She assumed that such a good-looking man wouldn’t lie. She naively told him that they had checked out the night before yesterday. Daniel couldn’t do anything other than leave the place feeling depressed. Naturally Daniel’s visit and the sorry plight that he left the premises was transmitted to Sheryl through the men she had left to follow Daniel. Her lips curled up as she calculated the time it would take for Daniel to put away his arrogant expression and come crawling to her, begging for cooperation. However, for now, this seemed liked a pretty dream; Sheryl had not co
Streaks of light sneaked into the room through the gap in the edges of the curtain like dancing golden ribbons; it gently graced the two people who were snuggled blissfully in each other’s embrace. It seemed like there was no room for a third person in this blissful world. The golden ribbons didn’t want to give up just like that. It increased its warmth and brightness gently dancing on their faces. The man’s hands moved, blocking the intruding from gracing his beloved; at the same time, he opened his eyes and squinted them at the curtains as if to reprimand them for their carelessness. It was only then that he realized that they had truly overslept; even so, he had no intention of waking the beauty in his arms. His lips curled into a blissful smile as he held the woman he loved in his arms. As he thought of last night, he felt regretful about his beastly nature and didn’t want to disturb his wife’s sleep even more. Last night, everyone was exhausted, and they called it a night and re
Chris followed Emile and Abbey were exploring the cottage; a doting smile hung on his face as his gaze followed Emile. Chris had made some renovations after buying the property; he added a few bedrooms, a home theatre and an indoor swim spa adjacent to the sauna room; even the sauna was modified to suit their aesthetics. The lakeside was modified into an idyllic romantic spot. A copper-coloured antique Versailles gazebo with Canopy and table setting for six people was set one side while the other had a lazier arrangement with a hammock, a hanging egg double seat chair arranged with luxurious cushions and a garden wicker outdoor round day bed rattan with canopy. He had spent a lot of effort and money to get the roses that were hardy and resistant to the harsh Finnish winters; he knew they were her favourite flowers. He exported the roses and hired a gardner to specifically tend the roses. As luck would have it, it was summer when the flowers were all in full bloom. Yellow rapeseed fil
Chris walked out of the room with a dark face. He could believe how sinister the woman’s mind was; If she could do something that vicious that at 22, what was she capable of now. Chris began to worry about Emile. He didn’t want to lose his happiness that he had obtained with great difficulty. He suddenly felt that their decision to travel incognito owing to Emile’s request was brilliant. He instructed Night Blade to take Leim back the same way they came and to ensure any traces of their travel here was wiped clean. “Are you going to tell second brother and Marcus?” Emile asked with a heavy heart once they reached back at their cottage. She didn’t know that a woman could be so cruel. She felt suffocated listening to that disgusting man talking about the incident as though it was as simple as going to a shopping mall to get something you liked. She didn’t know if it was because she was pregnant, but her emotions were in a mess. Her heart ached for Marcus who had been deprived of the r
Adrian arrived half an hour later with a blonde slender woman who was about 160 cms tall and a 2-year-old who was just like a doll. “This is my wife, Iris Symonds and our son, Jonah.” Adrian introduced his wife and son to Emile. Jonah was a smaller version of Adrian, charming everyone's heart with a simple glance. “My apologies for having missed your special day.” Iris smiled sincerely as she apologized “My mother was hospitalized, and I needed to be with her.” “Apology accepted.” Emile smiled sweetly before asking in concern “How is your mother now?” “She has stabilized now but the doctors aren’t too optimistic about her situation.” Emile patted the back of Iris’s hand to comfort and show her concern. Once the ice was broken, the three women left the men to their own devices and huddled in the entertainment room to gossip. The men too left the main hall and went to the study to discuss their course of action. Adrian and Neil were shocked by the information they saw from the reco
Raphael sat back in his armchair as thought back to his previous conversation with Chris. He had called him in the wee hours of the morning to discuss the details of Emile’s discipleship. Raphael was a recluse especially during the period of time when he went into creative hibernation. He would literally shutdown the world around him, but he didn’t have such requirements for anyone else. The reason he insisted the same for his disciple was solely due to Chris’s request. Emile didn’t have any reason to suspect Raphael; everyone in the designing world knew about his quirk but no one knew whether it would extend to his disciples since he never has any disciples. Chris had a mischievous smirk at the corner of lips as he drove out of the Dupont estate. He couldn’t believe that Raphael could keep a straight face while he was lying with his eyes wide open. He felt a warm feeling spreading when he thought of Raphael’s indulgence towards him. He wanted Emile to stay in Dupont’s estate even
Eva rushed to Walter manor as soon as Clive came to the hospital to relieve her. Her only goal was to get her passport and rush to the airport. However, once she reached Walter manor, she was surprised to find that it wasn’t the silence she expected but was rather filled with bustle and noise of a full house. Adam was seated in his usual spot reading news on his touchpad. Mark and Darcy were seated in the lounge area discussing something. Elizabeth was sitting next to Adam reviewing one of the fashion mags. Eva looked around in surprise. “You’re back.” Elizabeth asked before she had a chance to take in the fact that the Walters were back “How’s Amanda?” “She’s still the same.” Eva sighed as she sat on the couch next to Elizabeth. Inwardly she felt sour although she didn't show it on face; It looked like they had returned yesterday and yet no one thought of ringing her to let her know that they were back. “Do you know what happened?” Elizabeth asked once again without giving Eva a
