Matthias smirked “The loss of 5% shares was like a knife digging into Rufus’s heart. Lawyer uncle had secretly sent dad a picture of his colourful face when he heard the news. Do you think he would risk the 20% shares in your grandma’s hands?”

“Technically that would make the military charity organization the biggest shareholder. Do you think your grandpa will take that chance?”

“But more to the point, I had checked at the time and there was no share transfer. The military charity organization still only holds 5% share, so your grandma didn’t pass away.”

“But Grandma Bridgette is already past the age of 50…. would that scum……” Addison was known for his impaired filter, his mouth fired faster than his brain. In this aspect, one could even suspect that he was Eric twin brother rather than best friend.

Henry frowned as he looked disapprovingly at Addison before turning to Chris with an apologetic smile “This one does not have a filter, brother-in-law, please don’t take offense.”

  • Never to look back   I missed my wife.

    “Boss, Emile usually reaches the building by 10am, gets a coffee from the café outside the building before going upstairs; She usually doesn’t come downstairs till 4:30 on most days. Mr Walter usually comes to pick her up if she is any later than that.” George updated Daniel about Emile’s daily routine after observing for a week. “Um” Daniel nodded as he thought of a reason to be going down to the House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions. “Carry on with your work.” Daniel waved his hand, dismissing George who was standing still waiting for the next instruction. Daniel’s mind wasn’t on work for the rest of the day. He sat looking through the pictures of Emile that he had moved into a hidden folder on his laptop. He didn’t need the pictures to remember her, her every smile and gesture were etched in his mind. All he needed to do was close his eyes and he could see her; standing in front of him, smiling with stars in her eyes, waiting for him to look at her and acknowledge her. He s

  • Never to look back   As long as my wife doesn’t despise me...

    In the lift, on the way to the tenth floor, Chris messaged Ryan that he didn’t want anyone to disturb Emile till he notified them. The tenth floor was designed with four luxurious office spaces for each of the three partners and acting CEO, Ryan Redford. All the four offices had an identical layout with each having a rest room, bathroom and a small kitchenette. In addition, there was also an office adjacent to each of the four offices for the chief personal assistant and an office space that was divided into cubicles for the assistants on this floor. Emile’s office was furthest from the lift, at the end of the long corridor. Once inside the office, Chris got Emile a cup of water and waited patiently for her to drink before taking the glass back to the side kitchen. He lifted her up from her chair and sat down before settling her comfortably on his lap. He wasn’t worried about anyone interrupting as he had sent a message to Ryan asking not to be disturbed till they came out as he didn

  • Never to look back   How could I blame my wife?

    Daniel stood rooted staring at Emile’s disappearing back in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that she didn’t even give him a second glance even though he lowered himself and came to call her back. He didn’t come to his senses for a long time. “Sir, is there something I can help you with?” One of the waitresses approached him seeing him standing still like a statue for a long time. “Huh?” Daniel looked at the lady in confusion. “Sir, you are blocking the way for our customers.” The lady spoke hesitantly. “Apologies.” Daniel walked out of the café without looking back. He regretted not bringing George along with him; how could he have made a fool of himself? He could hear the comments of the people in the café as he walked out but the person he wanted to care about him, was nowhere to be found. Daniel sat quietly in his car, without driving as he thought back to what just happened; every second from the moment he spotted Emile walking into café till the moment they walked away. His ey

  • Never to look back   His value is irreplaceable in my life.

    Daniel was over the moon when he received a call from Natalie 2 days later to schedule a meeting with Emile. The requirement for the meeting was that it was held in an open setting, in a café of Mrs Walters preference and in company of her bodyguards who would be stationed close by for her protection. Daniel didn’t hesitate to agree to all the conditions that were put forward. He had been looking forward towards this meeting for a long time, 4 years to be precise. The only condition he had was that Chris couldn’t sit in on the meeting. In his mind, as long as he could have a decent chat with Emile, without any interference, everything would fall back into place. The arrangements for the meeting were all made by Natalie, of course with Chris’s approval. The meeting was arranged to be at the café of Royale Lux for 10am. Daniel called Ron in excitement as soon as the appointment was arranged. “What’s up?” Ron wasn’t one for niceties and there was no need for formalities between the two

  • Never to look back   You really don’t deserve her…...

    Chris hugged Emile close to him as he whispered coaxing in her ears “I am here”. Emile couldn’t stop trembling as she re-lived her worst nightmare with the perpetrator sitting right in front of her, adding stimulus to her already frail mental state. Neither Emile nor Chris predicted this. Chris raised his head to glare at Daniel with intense hatred, his veins bulging as he tried to rein his temper “Come anywhere near my wife when she is alone, and I will not give you the chance to write the word regret in your dictionary. I will disregard all friendship with Grandpa Holston if you ever so much as let your shadow fall on my wife when she is unaccompanied.” Chris stood up with Emile curled in his embrace and walked away once he finished what he had to say. Night Wing gestured for their men to leave as he hurried to Chris’s side. “Get a restraining order against Mr Holston for Emile.” Chris spoke through gritted teeth as he got on the car with Emile in his embrace. “Drive straight to

  • Never to look back   Godmother will avenge you.

    Night Wing decided to go Henry’s apartment first to report before going over to check on the little treasures. He rang Abbey on the way and asked her to come over to stay at Chris’s place. He told her that he would explain everything when she came and hung up without wasting time. “Which wind blew you here?” Henry smirked as he saw his butler leading Night Wing into the lounge. “Mr Burke, can we talk in private?” Night Wing was never one for jokes; the rare, odd occasions would have to have Chris, Emile and Abbey around. “What’s wrong?” Henry stood up with a frown and gestured for Night Wing to follow up as he took the lead walking towards his study. On the way, he sent a message to all his brothers ‘Come to my study.’ “Take a seat” Henry invited as he sat on his customary seat and gestured for the butler to serve tea. Night Wing wanted to quickly finish his report and hurry back to his little treasures and favourite woman; he was about to refuse the pleasantries when Henry interr

  • Never to look back   Is the offer available to all kids?

    “By the time I arrived at the airport in the morning, Chris Jnr messaged me to say that the meeting was being held at the Royale Lux and asked me if there was a way to spy on the meeting.” “Although I can hack into the surveillance system, I am not confident enough to do it without alerting Uncle Adrian. So, I went to straight to Royale Lux to figure out if there was another way.” Marcus’s voice went down by a few decibels as he continued to narrate; inwardly he felt terrible. If he didn’t have to maintain his eldest brother image in front of his younger siblings, he would have also cried with them. It was heartbreaking to see the little treasures crying their heart out as they heard their mother's words. At that moment he wished that it would have been nice if his little treasures were not too smart so that they wouldn't understand the meaning of what youngest aunt was saying. Sadly, they were too smart for their age and well trained by youngest uncle. Words they didn't understand,

  • Never to look back   Would us going bankrupt qualify?

    “Dring ….Dring…. DRING….” The melody of waves crushing against the rocks was rudely interrupted by the unpleasant ringing. Daniel sat up hugging his head with a confused gaze as he looked around. His body wasn’t feeling great either, aching and sore like that of an old man. Ron too sat up with an annoyed expression “Are you going to get that or not?” He turned around and found a comfortable position to curl and went back to sleep. “You better have something important, or I am sending you to the Bermuda triangle.” Daniel snaped into the mouthpiece as he accepted the call. “Would us going bankrupt qualify?” George mumbled in a not-so-confident voice. “What’s going on?” Daniel asked as rubbed his forehead in an attempt to soothe his aching head. “Boss, we lost the tender for the land in the eastern coast area.” George groaned over the phone. He knew the importance of this project for their future growth. “What???” Daniel was fully awake now; even Ron sat back up as he heard Daniel’

    “It’s Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm whispered with a mysterious expression causing Chris Jnr and Marcus to chuckle as they answered the call.“Hello Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm smiled sweetly as she answered the call.“How is Uncle’s little treasure doing?” Night Vigil’s voice that was filled with affection came from the other end.“Little treasure missed Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm pouted childishly before continuing “So, we have to finish all our work quickly and then little treasure can come and meet Uncle Night Vigil.”“Hur….hur…hur…. that is a must.” Night Vigil laughed heartily before asking “Is big treasure with you?”“How did you guess?” Little treasure’s eyes widened in admiration, her lips making an ‘o’ shape.Chris Jnr shook his head helplessly at his sister’s theatrics but didn’t expose her.“Little treasure is making fun of Uncle Night Vigil.” Night Vigil chuckled without giving the little treasure any face.“Hymph” Little treasure hmphed as she lifted her chin resentfully ‘Uncle Night

    “What is it?” Marcus and Chris Jnr asked in unison, with the same helpless expression.“Choose the venue as the same place that daddy and mommy confessed in Mossel Bay.” Emm answered bubbling with excitement.“If it where they confessed, then we have to do it in several hundred feet above ground.” Chris Jnr rolled his eyes with feigned disdain even though he liked the idea.Emm pouted before raising her chin defiantly “Anyway that would have a special meaning to both daddy and mommy.”“Okay…. okay…. little treasure is right… big treasure was only teasing you.” Chris Jnr quickly decided to plead guilty before the little empress decided to throw a tantrum.“We could do it in the vineyard that our family owns.” Marcus suggested as he agreed with little treasure.Chris Jnr’s eyes kept rolling as little treasure’s idea started to get fixated in his head “Let’s see what the wedding planners can come up with.”“But that will mean more work for both of you.” Chris Jnr added with a thoughtful e

  • Never to look back   What will we do if he does something to mommy?

    “You two….” Marcus looked from one treasure to the other in disbelief, holding a wedding was a huge thing, he wanted to dissuade them, but he knew that twin look; A hundred wild horses wouldn’t be able to hold them back…. What could this poor eldest brother do other than support them?“Tell me what to do...” Marcus slouched down, sighing with a resigned expression; since he couldn’t talk them out of it, he might as well support them all the way and face the music later. Little uncle might be disappointed with him for not being sensible and mature enough to guide the duo in the right direction but at least he could be a good eldest brother.“I have given the task of selecting the wedding planner from the three wedding planners I have shortlisted to Uncle Night Vigil.” Chris Jnr fiddled with his fingers as he lowered his head and raised his eyes to look guiltily at eldest brother and little treasure. He didn’t ask for their opinion before he decided to act and didn’t know if they would f

    Chris Jnr locked his door soon after Emile ran out of his room with the phone and climbed back onto his bed and dialed little treasure. He knew he would have to wait for a while since they hadn’t made an appointment but contrary to his expectation little treasure picked up the call even before it could ring.“Big brother….”Chris Jnr pursed his lips into a pout; Little treasure rarely called him big brother…. Not unless she had encountered some sort of grievance….“Big brother is here…” Chris Jnr softened his voice, like he had seen his daddy do when he was comforting them “What’s wrong with little treasure? Is eldest brother not there?” He knew that with eldest brother near her, there was no way she would suffer any grievance.“Little treasure is fine…” Emm pouted as she tried to hold on to her grievance. She was fine, just that she missed her brother too much… they had never been separated and that too for this long.“He’s here.” Marcus responded at the same time as Emm.“What’s wron

    “I…. what???” Emile’s voice rose a notch as she lifted her head to look at Chris in shock. She shook her head in denial as she lowered her eyes taking stock of every conversation with Daniel; she muttered in disbelief even before her brain finished processing her thoughts “In my memory, our re-acquaintance did not exist, let alone marriage…. Then how can I ask for a divorce?”“I believe you…. you might not have asked.” Chris coaxed patiently as he gently massaged her back to calm her emotions.“Hubby, I am truly sorry….” Emile buried her face coquettishly in his chest, as she muttered “I cannot even imagine the pain it caused you…. I am so sorry…”“It is not your fault. I am to be blamed if you have to blame someone…. It is my fault I believed that lunatic.” Chris pacified gently, without feeling tired or agitated even though he was repeatedly saying the same thing.“The only reason I believed him was because my brain was not functioning properly; I couldn’t see through his stupid sche

    “Yes…. I don’t think either of us will have a choice when those two scheme together.” Chris’s lips curled up; his eyes narrowed with curiosity.Although he was eager to know what his treasures had in store for them, he didn’t look into it as he didn’t want to deprive them of the joy, the joy they got from seeing their expressions towards the element of surprise that his treasures had planned. This reunion was fully to their credit although he didn’t know how they managed; this indulgence was what they deserved.“You mean ….” Emile raised her head curiously to look up at Chris “You mean, the two are plotting?”“How else could you explain me missing my tail?” Chris chuckled “and giving me the luxury to come and find you on my own?”Emile giggled as she leaned comfortably into Chris’s embrace.“Wife, what happened?” Chris asked once they settled comfortably in each other’s embrace.“I am not sure…” Emile paused as she bit her lower lip hesitating before raising her head to look into Chris

  • Never to look back   Hubby…. your son bullied me….

    “Hubby, you…. aren’t you getting married to someone else?” Emile asked cautiously in a low voice; no matter how cautious she was, she couldn’t hide the hope in her heart…which transmitted as an excited relief through her voice. “Wife, I have told you before…I, Christopher Walter will only marry once and my wife can only be Emile Burke…” Chris assured patiently, his voice carrying a promise…. an oath of a lifetime… “Hubby….” Emile called out in a soft voice, her lips curling up in a sweet smile, brightening her entire aura; all her grievance melted with his promise…she knew her husband never spoke for verbality. “Um” Chris hummed in a low coaxing voice; his aura too brightened, dissipating the cold, gloomy aura around him…. a simple address from her, calmed his restless soul like magic. At this moment, silence entwined with each other’s calm breathing, seemed to be healing the undue grievance suffered by the two souls who loved each other deeply. “Hubby….” Emile called again, her v

    Chris Jnr was setting up his gadgets to contact little treasure when Night Sonic announced that he had taken care of everything. Chris Jnr nodded in acknowledgement as he continued to fidget with his gadgets.‘Duk…duk…duk…’ A soft knock was heard a few minutes later at Chris Jnr’s door.Chris Jnr’s lips curled up in a knowing smirk as he carelessly placed a sheet over his bed, covering his gadgets, and walked over to open the door.“Aren’t you tired? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” Chris Jnr quirked his eyebrows wanting to taunt, however his lips curled down guiltily as he saw his mommy’s red eyes.“Do you have a way to contact your daddy?” Emile quickly entered and closed the door as she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble; she didn’t know if Daniel was still awake or if their voice would attract unnecessary attention.Chris Jnr pursed his lips stubbornly toying with the idea of whether he wanted to pay back his daddy’s grievance or succumb to mommy’s sorry state.
