Marcus arrived an hour later just as Chris had predicted. He was all too familiar with Chris’s homebase. He had been a regular visitor here since his unfortunate accident. His friendship with his fifth and sixth uncle was the fortune he earned from his misfortune. “What’s the big deal?” Marcus asked he entered the study following Night Wing. “Take a seat” Eric laughed “You aren’t planning to listen and run, are you?” “Nope.” Marcus chuckled as he sat down “Why would I want to run when I can freeload on my favourite uncles?” Eric took the lead to make small talk before Chris started to get down to business. “Marcus, do you remember the accident?” “How could I forget?” Marcus shrugged winking mischievously “How else would I have the fortune to be a regular here? Miles is going to kill when I shatter his bubble of ‘I am the favourite nephew’.” “You wouldn’t dare….” Eric feigned a menacing look. “No promises.” Marcus chuckled softly before turning serious “But I am sure you didn’t

Darcy couldn’t stand the pressure while he waited for Chris and Eric to update Marcus. He started pacing through the room as he imagined the worst-case scenario where Marcus denied him and refused to accept him. He pulled off his tie as he found it difficult to breathe. He pulled open his top buttons as he paced; he pulled his hair as he threaded it with his hands in despair. He tried calming himself by taking deep breaths, but the truth was, none of this was helping his nerves. He stared anxiously at the door. Finally, as he saw the handle of the door turning, he assumed it was either Chris or Eric who came to update him and rushed towards the door. Embarrassingly, for Darcy, it was neither Chris nor Eric. The scene that entered Marcus’s eyes was an unkempt Darcy rushing forward like a madman. Darcy’s steps paused as he saw the face of the person who opened the door. His face changed like a colour palette before finally losing all colour and lowering his head in depression. Darcy s

The next two days passed in the blink of an eye and Chris returned while Emile concentrated on her work. She was especially enthusiastic as the end was in sight. Although she was in rush to finish, the quality of her work didn’t slack in the slightest. She took in all the feedback that Raphael gave and improved her work without any complaints. She knew Chris wouldn’t come this week as he had a client meeting overseas. She asked him to pay a visit to her family since it was in their home country. This didn’t seem to have any impact on Chris’s grand scheme as in the eyes of the whole world, Chris would travel a few hours every weekend to go to the Burke residence. Chris wanted his father to accompany him on this trip as they were planning to dig closer to home to check the root of Darcy’s misery. There were some things that were more convenient for Adam to check. Grandpa Walter didn’t want to fallout completely with Adam and his family; as soon as he came to know that Adam was coming

Sheryl rushed over the next day to the Walter ancestral home knowing that Adam was staying at home. She knew that both Chris and Adam came over for the same meeting. The Walters were all gathered in the dining hall for breakfast; the butler invited her to join the family for breakfast as instructed by his master. “Miss Shelby is here” The butler announced as he ushered her in and pulled a chair for her close to Silas. Sheryl smiled politely, greeting each member of the family before sitting down next to Silas. She would have loved to take the seat next to Chris, but she was engaged to Silas and the butler had already pulled the chair for her hinting her position. Chris didn't have to come for breakfast, but still came over as he anticipated that they were planning to ambush his father with a victim act. Even though he knew that his father wouldn't suffer a loss, he couldn't help wanting to come and watch the show in person. “My dear child, I rarely get to see you these days…” Senio

Emile’s side wasn’t without her fair share of excitement, although Emile was depressed for the first two days after Chris left especially since she knew that he wouldn’t coming this week. She just pretended to be strong in front of him as she didn’t want him to feel any guiltier than he was already feeling. She put all her energy into the assignments that Raphael gave her since the earlier she finished, the earlier she could go home, to be with her beloved husband. She had to admit that even though she was married twice and even though both times she married the men she really loved, the feeling was different. It was really different to be in a marriage where she was loved and cherished. With Chris, she could be herself, be spoiled, be unreasonable and yet no matter which version of herself she was……. She was still loved and cherished and treasured as the most priced possession by him. On the third day after Chris’s departure, Raphael’s men bought news. From all the investigation th

“Now that you know everything, what do you plan to do?” Emile asked cautiously. She didn’t know what choice Grace would make. 20 years was a long time; she didn’t know Grace’s attitude towards Darcy. Would she resent him? Would she be able to forgive him for not finding her sooner? “Huh?” Grace raised her head to look at Emile in confusion. She had never anticipated to have a day like today…. let alone be asked this question or more accurately have to answer this question. “I am not here to take you back.” Emile shrugged as she winked mischievously “I just wanted to see the woman my husband admires, regrets not having as his sister-in-law.” “And to see the woman who stole second brother-in-law’s soul.” Emile giggled without giving Grace any face. Grace “” “Jokes aside” Emile’s stopped joking after mucking around “I have told you everything I know. But that does not place me on a moral high ground to be judge and executioner. I only know hearsay of one side of the story.” “My gran

Two days later, Grace bid farewell to her team and set off with Emile. She had no idea what to expect but she didn’t want to miss it if there was a chance. She had missed 20 years; she didn’t want to miss another 20 years. Raphael had no idea what two women who had never met had to talk about; from the time they met they had been chatting non-stop. They had just stopped chatting but that was only because Emile who was pregnant and had fallen asleep in the middle of a conversation. Luckily, Grace didn’t take any offence; she only shrugged, smiling helplessly as she called a flight attendant to get a blanket to cover Emile. Emile was still sleeping when they touched down 17 hours later. Anne and Dolly took on the task of waking her after Grace failed miserably. Emile sat on the flight with a pout as she hadn’t slept enough. However, she soon changed her expression into a sweet smile as she saw Grace looking at her with an amused smile. “Ha…. ha…ha…” Raphael laughed loudly without givi

Grace was settled in comfortably in one of the apartments in the East Wing of the Dupont estate along with Emile. Danos was very efficient; everything that Grace needed was set in the room even before they landed in Paris. Setting into Paris time wasn’t hard as they reached back by late afternoon, and everyone slept through the night and woke up naturally the next day. Emile and Raphael spent the morning finalizing the last few designs before organizing the meeting with Laura, the le couturier, by the end of next week. If everything went according to plan, once the meeting was over, Emile could go back to be with Chris. The next steps didn’t need her to be here. She could liaise with Laura remotely. Her physical presence was only required during the fashion exhibition week. Emile worked as though she was injected with fresh blood. She didn’t feel tired, nor did she feel like she needed a break. Emile felt as though she had met her muse; ideas flowed without any inhibition, all she n

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
Never to look back You could never do what he did…
“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
Never to look back We will set everything right after this wedding.
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.
