Never to look back Son, it's too late.
While Emile was settling in blissfully, Daniel’s end was not so peaceful. Daniel was frustrated at narrowly missing Emile even though he went all the way to Mauritius. He was like a loose cannon waiting to blast everyone in his path. George made sure to stay way off his firing line only daring to go forward for essential affairs that could not be avoided. George planned to run away as soon as they touched down, but fate didn’t want to go easy on him. As soon as the plane landed on their home turf, he got a call from Michelle asking him where Daniel was. He was about to say that they have landed and were heading home when he met Daniel’s hawk eyes daring him to speak. George’s survival instincts and EQ were high. He told Michelle that CEO was looking for him and would ask him to call back when they were free before hanging up. He stood with his head lowered not daring to meet Daniel's eyes. “Since when have you been keeping tabs on me?” Daniel narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Never.

Daniel wasn’t convinced even after his conversation with his grandpa. He sat staring at Emile’s pictures till he fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning. George wasn’t sure if he should wake Daniel the next morning or wait till, he woke up on his own. He was aware that Daniel didn’t sleep until late; the lights in room were still on when he came to get water at 2 am. Luckily for George, they didn’t have any meeting or work commitments booked in for the day. Daniel woke up in the afternoon, confused and disoriented. He wasn’t up to doing anything and didn’t want to go anywhere so he just holed up at George’s apartment leaving the miserable soul to not even have any space to vent his frustration. This went on for another day till Ron returned. “You’re back” George almost hugged Ron in excitement. Ron took a step back eyeing George’s enthusiasm cautiously. “I have never been so happy to see anyone in my entire lifetime.” George didn’t take any offense as he kept ushering Ron enthu

Emile started to fidget with her fingers as the taxi drove closer to the Burke estate. The Burkes had yet to split, and all three generations still lived together. The Burkes was established by her great grandfather and both he and her grandfather were the only child. The children from Emile’s generation were called out in the order of their birth. The Burkes only had male descendants tracing back a few generations; this trend was first broken by her aunt. Her grandfather had only one daughter, Auntie Pearl, Addison's mom. She was the first girl to be born in the Burke household in many generations and was naturally spoilt rotten by everyone. Her father’s elder brother Matthias Burke married Agatha from the Wells family, and they had two children, first brother Henry and third brother Harry. Second uncle, Anderson married Rosemary from the Platt family and had three children, second brother Derek, fourth brother Simon and sixth brother Timothy. Auntie Pearl’s husband, Patrick Weathe

Matthias wasn’t joking when he ordered dinner to be a feast fitting a king. Dinner was prepared without sparing any cost; not only was it indulgent but also done meticulously with care; Almost all of the dishes on the table were Emile's favorite dishes.The dining room filled with laughter as the family feasted on the reunion dinner. Even the maids couldn’t help but being infected by the joyous air. Alto silently withdrew to a corner to wipe his tears without being noticed. He knew this precious little niece was the heartbeat of the entire family; he knew their heartache these past years although everyone thought they had covered it up neatly.“Today is a joyous day.” Matthias lifted his glass in toast grinning happily. His little girl had come back. His family was complete. He could now die without regrets and face his little brother without guilt.“Today, no one can stop me. I am going to drink till I drop.” Matthias pompously declared but was slapped in the face even before he could

Everyone settled in the family room after dinner. This was a norm for the Burke household. “What are your plans?” Matthias turned his gaze to Christopher. “I would like to get married tomorrow if possible but will follow Emile’s decision.” Christopher levelled his gaze with Matthias. “I don’t want anyone to know where I am.” Emile pouted as she saw the gazes of all her family members focussed on her. “Why? Are you scared that someone will take my sister away?” “Are you afraid of that bastard?” Both Addison and Henry asked at the same time although Addison’s question was directed at Christopher; Henry’s was directed at Emile. “Yes” Christopher nodded without hesitation “She is an extremely beautiful and intelligent woman; how can I not be afraid?” Simon and Timothy chuckled while Emile lowered her head blushing. Although the everyone’s attention was diverted by the boys mucking around, Henry kept his gaze on Emile. “Emile” Henry pursed his lips as he called out seeing that she
Last Updated : 2023-10-26Never to look back This is Abbey Smith signing off for the last time.
Night Wing would be a fool to not know that they were set-up by now; the crew in the boat would not rescue them. He knew that their best chance of survival was to hold on till his men arrived. Fighting three great whites head-on was not a wise choice, nor was it ethical to kill these great beasts that were being manipulated. He gestured Abbey to convey that swimming to the surface was not advantageous for them and asked her to take cover behind the cage. Poor Abbey, even though she was scared senseless, she refused to leave Night Wing behind. She pulled him and gestured to go with her. Night Wing shook his head. He knew that if they both left that would only attract the shark’s attention. This was the only way to get the crazy woman to safety till his men arrived. Night Wing noted that the sharks were still trying to resist the disturbance and although moving chaotically they didn’t have any intention to attack. He slowly put the knife back into his belt and took out a crossbow that

Abbey was just about to pass out when she heard the sound of a helicopter approaching them, but she didn't even have the strength to wave. She struggled to keep themselves above water in hope that someone would find them. Abbey didn't know when or how they reached her. Just as she felt like she was going to go under, a hand stretched out to pull them out. She fainted soon after she handed Night Wing over to them. She couldn't hold on any longer; she was satisfied that he could be saved. Luckily for Abbey, the ones who came were Christopher's men, Night Wing's subordinates. They were rushing over after receiving the distress signal. Although it looked like eternity to Abbey, it was only 30 minutes from when Night Wing send the signal. However, the response time was still slow by their standards. But there was nothing they could do. Getting their hands on resources in a foreign land was not easy. They quickly performed first aid as they set the course for the best hospital in the coun

Emile and Christopher arrived in Mossel Bay unaware of the storm Amanda brewed for them back home nor the troubles that Abbey and Night Wing were in. Christopher was curious when he couldn't get through to Night Wing, but he was so happy thinking about how he was so close to marrying the love of his life and didn't delve on not being able to get in touch with Night Wing. Night Rider had left a message for Night Wing informing him of their arrival. He was surprised when he didn't see Night Wing waiting for them in the priority lounge as he usually did on the odd occasion that Boss didn't take him along. Alarm bells rang in his head as he noted that no arrangements were made for their pick-up. He called one of the other subordinates that were left here with Night Wing. Night Rider was shocked by what he heard and hung up after asking where they were. He quickly updated Christopher and waited politely by his side waiting for instructions. Christopher knitted his brows "Let's head to th

“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

“What did you say?”“Daddy, don’t be stressed.” Big treasure winked towards little treasure as he coaxed in a soft voice “Daddy, Big treasure has been taking care of empress since he went over, before that…” He sighed in relief in an adult like tone “Luckily the empress’s brain was working before I got there…hehe…. hehe…” He laughed trying to ease his daddy’s anxiety “So, our sibling must be fine.” Both big treasure and little treasure nodded at the same time with a sincere face; little treasure had no idea what big treasure was talking about, but she too nodded in all seriousness, looking at the anxiousness in her daddy’s eyes, all she wanted to do was comfort him.“Chris, son what is big treasure talking about?” Elizabeth asked anxiously unable to make heads or tails out of the conversation.Chris turned around to look at who was closest to him; he stuffed little treasure into Marcus’s and big treasure into Night Wing’s hands before rushing to the door. He knew how dangerous it was f

“Tell me, how did you entangle the mess?” Raphael asked once everyone settled after dinner. Everyone turned their curious gaze towards Chris as this was the thought reverberating in their heads from the moment they heard about the wedding.Everyone in the room were prevue to the inside story; they all knew about Emile rekindling her affection for Daniel and denouncing Chris although they didn’t know the details. Even the kids turned their attention curiously towards Chris.“I cannot take credit for this one.” Chris scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile. “This time, the credit belongs to my kids.”“Them???” Harry’s eyes widened in disbelief as he pointed towards Big treasure and Little treasure.“Me included.” Marcus sidestepped taking a step closer to the treasures, bringing himself in the frame together with them “Little uncle said his kids… that includes me.” He added defiantly as everyone started laughing at his comical actions of sidestepping to bring himself within

“Yeah… why is only little baby getting a reward?” Marcus stretched his legs, skating towards Chris, leaving Beth who was rolling her eyes at Marcus who was competing with a 1-inch dwarf for attention, leaving her far behind in a heartbeat. Chris didn’t answer but lifted his eyebrows in an expression that meant ‘go figure’. “I could have gotten them out, but I knew their principle and didn’t interfere.” Marcus shrugged as an afterthought “Actually I knew they could have escaped if they wanted without my help.” “Right… and where were you?” Chris asked with a chuckle as he gently tapped his forehead, although the questioning didn’t have even the slightest hint of denunciation, it did not excuse him of his accountability. Marcus scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile as he pointed towards the sofa that he was having a sweet time with Beth. He twisted his lips as he thought of the deeper meaning behind the question; he knew his little uncle would never ask such a question

“Ha…ha…ha….” Emile burst out laughing as soon as she entered the main lounge, forgetting all her resentment towards the injustice of bullying her son. The scene that entered her eyes was too comical to say the least.Chris Jnr, Bruno and Emm were sitting in the middle with the Burke brothers guarding around them in a tight circle. The Walter siblings were in the outer ring neither guarding nor helping; the only exception was Marcus who was sitting on the couch chatting with Beth in a leisurely manner. What was comical about the entire scene was Bruno who looked like a red puffer fish, unable to swallow his grievance of failure.Emm wasn’t happy either, but she just sat with her lips puckered, enduring, unlike Bruno who had obviously given up listening to Chris Jnr and was yet jumping up and down, protesting against the injustice he was subjected to.“Daddy…” Both Chris Jnr and Emm jumped up on hearing Emile’s voice. They knew that if mommy was here, Daddy would always follow.No one kn
Never to look back Can you give me some face in front of my wife?
Chris and Emile didn’t have any difficulty sneaking out from under the watchful eyes of the press nor the guests…they had a genius son who had mapped everything to the dot for making their most important day picture perfect. It was so magical that both, Chris and Emile were afraid that it was a dream, and reality would kick in once they woke up; Both had to agree that it was better than what either of them could have imagined even in their wildest dreams.As they sat in the getaway car, Emile kept pinching Chris and asking him “Hubby, does it hurt?” while Chris kept answering “Wife, I am too excited to feel pain.” His answer wasn’t helping but there was nothing anyone could do, no one could understand their mental state unless they had been in the same situation.Once the excitement calmed down, Emile rested in Chris’s embrace with a blissful smile, her mind unwinding, relishing the mad rush or rather excitement from yesterday evening till the moment she saw Chris climbing into the bas

“I know you are married…” the man who answered previously spoke once again, the helplessness in his voice reverberating through the hall “but I have never seen you with Mrs Walter and I have always seen you with Ms Bell, who was your companion for banquets and social dinners. I have no reason to doubt your words when you introduced her this morning although it did seem a bit redundant.” He shrugged opening his palms upward.“No… no….no… this is all wrong…” Daniel shook his head in disbelief as he took a step back.“How can it be wrong?” Chris Jnr’s stern voice rang through the hall, loud and clear, filled with rage “Didn’t you like playing mind games?”“Can you not take it when you are on the receiving end?” Emm too asked in righteous anger; her mommy forgot her for 2 whole months.“You…. you bastard… you stole my wife…” Daniel roared without registering what Chris Jnr and Emm said and lunged towards Chris, who was standing with a relatively calm expression, although his brows were sli
