Eric was the last to arrive; everyone else including Marcus, Miles, Penny and Vincent were already seated drinking either wine or fruit juices.

“What took you so long?” Diana complained as she handed him his drink.

“I met up with mom.” Eric slouched down on the couch with a sigh.

“Um???” Mark raised his eyebrows; everyone else’s eyes were on Eric although no one asked.

“She came to ask what was wrong with Dad.” Eric recounted everything including what he observed.

“Um” Mark nodded meaningfully “It would best if mom could wake up.”

“Best wait to make sure the change is genuine” Darcy pursed his lips in distrust “otherwise all our efforts will be for naught.”

“Hasn’t dad taught us not to hit a man who is lying down?” Nola spoke at the same time as Mark and Darcy as she slapped the back of Eric’s head.

“I couldn’t help myself…” Eric shrunk his shoulders as he rubbed the back of his head “I … I ... just wanted to test if the previous patience was an act…”

“Alright, let’s get back on topic.

  • Never to look back   I never take chances and we cannot afford to have our attention divided.

    “I am short of time.” Chris opened his mouth once again “I want to take care of this before the next board meeting of the old house.”“What do you want us to do?” Lorenzo asked. No one asked why he needed everything sorted before the board meeting.“My men have shortlisted five clinics, one here, two in Korea and two in turkey. I was hoping to handover this to you.” Chris shrugged “Ten of my men will be at your disposal if you need them. That’s all I can spare for now.”“Leave it with me.” Lorenzo patted his chest confidently “I will ask if I need help; for now, I will use my own.”“Big brother, I intend to attack all of his companies at the same time...” Chris took a sip of his drink as he continued “the companies he owns and the ones he has shares in are listed in the folder.”“We are going to divide and conquer.” Chris narrowed his eyes “Any source that could become his income or supplement his income is our target.”“Harten builders is mine to destroy.” Chris smirked before dividin

  • Never to look back   Disobedience isn’t a virtue that the Night Lord appreciates nor tolerates.

    The next day, all the Walters arrived at Chris’s as planned. It was only after they arrived, the little ones realized that they were not going to the Burkes. However, they were not upset, truth be told, they were super excited as they had Vini’s never ending adventure tales as an antecedent and they were all waiting eagerly for their turn, this was a god send for all they cared.Night Rider ushered the kids down the secret passage in Chris’s villa, the adults too followed, not for any reason other than curiosity. The little ones were super excited with Vini leading the group as the king of the jungle. Once they were at the base, Marcus and Miles helped with distributing the packs that were packed with kids supply. Supplies were mostly emergency meds, insect repellents, first aid kits for dressing wounds etc.Once every kid had received the supply bag, Night Rider led them to the rooftop where they boarded the cloaked aircraft that was dedicated for flights to Devil Island.

    Lorenzo couldn’t calm himself no matter how he thought about it, after his conversation with Chris. He rushed to the Mark’s place, leaving a message to the others to meet him at Mark’s.“Big brother, I don’t think Chris’s plan for taking action is as straight forward as he made us believe.” Lorenzo spoke anxiously as he reached Mark’s study.Mark extended him a cup of tea in a leisurely manner asking him to take a seat, calm down, and wait for the others.Lorenzo repeated his worries once everyone else gathered.“He won’t listen even if we ask him; once he sets his mind, ten mad bulls couldn't pull him back.” Mark shook his head “All we can do is support him.”“But what if he is in danger and we won’t even know?” Lorenzo pursed his lips as he repeated his conversation with Chris in the morning.“He is much more capable than us.” Darcy shook his head “Any one of the men he has trained is more capable than us. We will be dead weight if we go. Let’s help him by doing what we are best at d

    Night was the Night Lord’s domain; he came and went with the wind, without even giving his enemy as fighting chance. Night Lord and his men swept through the castle ruins, wiping out anything that walks on two till they reached the core grounds. It didn’t look like the interior of a ruined castle but rather a green house where vegetation grew lush; the only thing that mattered was that the vegetation grown here had nothing to do with food, medicine or even ornamental flowers, they were pure evil with only one intent, destruction of the minds of its consumer.Chris raised his body above the ground using body lightness skill and took an aerial picture of the entire area. He threw out a handful of time bombs that were space controlled in their destruction impact, making sure they covered the entire perimeter of this greenhouse were neurotoxins were cultivated, before heading out with his men.“You will live to tell your boss that he has pissed off the Night Lord by stepping on his bottom

  • Never to look back    I am arrogant because everything I have is what I created with my hands.

    “My ward??? Heh!” The older man let out a shallow laugh “We just have an employer- employee relationship. I don’t care what he does.” The older man shrugged “As long as I do my job, he pays me and as long as he has the money to pay me, I will do my job.”“And right now, the only thing standing between me and that pay cheque is you.” The older man raised his hand to strike but was stopped by a force field that seemed to pull him back.“You forget… I am master’s chosen.” Chris chuckled “Do you think you can use master’s art to harm me?”“Che!” The older man sneered “Do you think I need to harm you to hurt you? You think too beautifully.” He raised his hand, throwing the flame towards Night Wing as soon as he finished speaking. However, the fire ball froze mid-way in flight.“Looks like you have forgotten master’s teachings.” Chris shook his head helplessly as he snapped his fingers. The fireball that was frozen in mid-air, dispersed in the form of snow and ash particles.“What did I forg

  • Never to look back   The one who has the most to protect becomes the strongest…

    The only thought that still niggled in the older man’s mind was what he had forgotten from his master’s teachings. He frowned as he closed his eyes however the heat, he expected to engulf him didn’t arrive nor did the pressure from the rubble around him. He opened his eyes slowly wondering what was wrong with his calculations.He found himself enveloped a blue bubble and muttered “Bastard…. I still have to be protected by him…” Although he was cursing a peaceful smile spread across his aged face.The four elites surrounded their lord as they saw him sitting cross legged in meditation, in mid-air hovering over the floor door they used for abseiling down. Although they didn’t know the reason, they knew that their lord would have a reason to keep them in mid-air even though it would make them vulnerable.Once the explosions were blasted out completely, even before the dust settled, Chris was about to abseil down when he noted that all his men were getting ready to follow by opening the ot

  • Never to look back   I never intended to leave you....

    Lorenzo was still in a daze as he left the briefcase at Chris’s home base and was taken home by Night Rider.“First brother, do you want to stay here or at Master’s place?” Chris asked as he settled the older man on a comfortable couch.“Where are you staying?”“I have unfinished business.”“I will come with you.”“No. You need to rest.”“Are you saying I am old?” The older man jumped up from his chair in anger.Chris circled his index finger, gesturing the older man to turn around and made an inviting gesture. The older man turned around and looked to find himself looking into the mirror on one of the cabinet doors “You……”Chris chuckled mischievously “Somethings never change….” His eyes became distant as he muttered “The only thing missing is master’s booming laughter that usually followed….”“Don’t bring up the old man…. He didn’t even say goodbye…”“Did you leave an address when you ran away?” Chris hooked his eyebrows.“Why didn’t he come looking?” The older man sighed as he sat b

    Lorenzo didn’t stop to relax as he reached home. He rushed to Mark’s place as he messaged the rest to meet him there. Everyone rushed over as soon as they got the message even though some were midway through their dinner. They all knew what Lorenzo was up to these days; they also knew that he wouldn’t be back before the end of next week. There could only be one reason for him to rush back- Trouble!No one thought of the other possibility that Lorenzo was way over his depths in excitement…“What’s going on?” Mark asked as soon as Vincent walked in.Everyone was already seated and waiting for him.“You are not going to believe what I have to say.” Vincent gulped down the scotch poured for him in one gulp.“Yes…. you have never tasted failure…. It is hard to believe…” Eric smirked before asking “Do you want a hand?”“What are you talking about?” Lorenzo turned to look at Eric with a confused gaze.“Why did you call us?” Mark decided to intervene before the two started bickering; this was

    Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil

    Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co

    “What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar

    “Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas

    Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa…. Hai…” Master sighed, shaking his head resent

Emile was reading a book on her bed when Chris arrived.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’Emile lifted her head to look in the direction she heard the knock in puzzlement; Who would knock on the balcony door?’Her face brightened with the sweetest smile as she saw the man she missed with all her being even though he had only left a few hours earlier, appearing in front of her. She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu

    Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the

    Chris noticed that little treasure was eager to go back and didn’t force her to stay. He knew his little treasure’s intention was not what she said out loud, but he still indulged her; indulging his treasures had become a habit.Night blade and his team was tasked with escorting Little treasure back while Night Rider and his team stayed back with Chris; there was no need to ask about Night Wing to know what he did.“I don’t want Uncle Night Blade to follow me.” Little treasure pouted, throwing another temper tantrum before setting off, shocking Chris and Night Blade. Night Blade felt hurt even though his face was expressionless; his love and affection for the two treasures was no less than that of Night Wing.“Why is that?” Chris asked in a gentle tone, without showing any impatience even though he was shocked.“Uncle Night Blade won’t listen to me.” Little treasure pouted with feigned grievance although her lips her curling up victoriously in a corner not visible to anyone.Chris sig

    As the first rays of the sun kissed the land, no matter how reluctant he felt, Chris kissed goodbye to his dear wife. During the night, they had reached a consensus to see what their treasures were up to and not tear open the farce till they got the green flag from their treasures.Chris dragged his feet back to the manor, wondering if he should punish his son for dragging his feet and delaying their reunion. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why his son wouldn’t just call him and tell him that his mommy was back to normal and ask him to pick them up. He didn’t suspect his son’s intentions, just felt miserable that he still had to be separated from his family although the problems had been solved.However, all his thoughts were thrown to the back of mind as he saw his little treasure sitting in the lounge with her princess temper; her eyelashes stained with dewdrops that were threatening to fall, causing Marcus to run round in circles to please her.“What’s goi
