“How’s I12 progressing Eva?” Chris asked once everyone left the room. “Beautifully...” Darcy chuckled “I can’t wait to see the bitch’s face when everything unveils.” Darcy: “What’s your plan? How long are you going to keep this on for?” “Not yet…. The higher you fly, the greater the fall.” Chris narrowed his eyes, his lips curled sinisterly “Doesn’t she like to have kids??? Won’t it be disappointing if we don’t give her that opportunity?” “More importantly, I need to have all the evidence… an iron clad case against fraud and identity theft.” Chris tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest. “Don’t we have Thomas?” Darcy asked in confusion “Thomas said that he is confident to win the case with his eyes closed with what we have so far…” “No” Chris shook his head “Not eldest brother-in-law. We will be winning the case with a junior intern from eldest brother-in-law’s firm. It will be a case won not by brilliance of the lawyer…. but by the sheer volume of indisputable evidence.”

The rest of the week passed in a flurry of activity. Everyone was swept off their feet; running their personal businesses, pretending that there was nothing out of the normal with their better halves and running errands that had self-assigned after volunteering to help Chris with his investigation. Firstly, Lorenzo executed both the tasks he was delegated to perfection. He didn’t have any trouble sneaking in and out of the hospital with archived data of everything related to the hospital, whether it was surveillance footage, finance or confidential information related to hospital records or clinical trials that were run by the hospital. Sofia had done the legwork making his work effortless. She had provided them with not just access cards but also habits and behaviors of the staff whose access cards they were using. This was especially useful as they could sneak in and out without having to sabotage anyone. Of course, this wasn’t industrial espionage, and they weren’t going to sell o

Chris drove all the way to his home base without stopping; Both Emile and Grace were comfortable in the caravan and slept comfortably on the bed while Chris rested on the sofa. Once they reached their home base, Chris didn’t disturb either Emile or Grace and rested along with them in the caravan while he let both Night Rider and the rest head upstairs for a power nap before driving out to the airport. It wouldn’t have made a difference to their plan to give Darcy a surprise birthday gift even if Emile and Grace went upstairs to rest since Darcy was away with Marcus on his long-awaited ski trip…. well not really long … but to a father who missed 20 years of his son’s life, even a second is a long time… Even so, Chris didn’t wake them and cramped on the sofa. The reason was not hard to guess…. He didn’t want to interrupt his beloved wife’s sweet sleep. Grace was just basking in the shade of Emile’s pampered treatment. Chris waited for the two to wake up naturally; Of course, Grace wok

Emile shook her head helplessly. She couldn’t blame Grace; She had to admit that she too was quite shaken when she saw the scene before her, even though she knew the story. She couldn’t imagine what was going through Grace’s head. Chris face palmed inwardly ‘How could he forget that this was Eva’s favorite coffee shop?’ The others just looked on like blind men watching the show as they couldn’t understand heads or tails. Emile decided not to have coffee anymore and followed Grace. Once Emile walked off, Chris couldn’t care less about the authenticity of the play they were directing and hurriedly ran after his wife. Night Wing calmly went to the counter and ordered coffee and light snacks for everyone. He requested the waiter to deliver the food to their car and followed the rest of the group back to the car. Grace didn’t talk to anyone for the rest of the trip. Emile wanted to pacify her many times, but she had a ‘do not approach’ sign board on her face. Grace wasn’t intentionall

On the screen was Darcy but he was dressed very differently to the Darcy they had just met. The one onscreen was fully dressed up in skiing gear; from his appearance and voice, it didn’t look like he had just changed. It looked more like he had been skiing for a while and just stopped to pick up the phone. His googles were anchored on his helmet and his eyes filled with worry. “Chris, everything okay at home?” Grace looked at the man onscreen in shock. It could be seen from the background that it looked like he was somewhere in the mountains; more importantly, there were no mountains fit for skiing close to the airport café, where he would be able to reach in 1 hour and start skiing. Darcy didn’t even give second glance at the woman behind Chris who was staring at him without blinking. He was getting anxious about the mess at home considering Chris called him at this time when he should have been showing off the last few weeks of his handiworks to Emile considering they had just ret

Birthday celebrations were a huge affair for the Walters; it was bigger than any festival they celebrated. However, Darcy stopped celebrating his birthday on a grand scale after Grace left. No matter who tried to convince him, it didn’t have any effect. After Marcus was born, it became a small affair of a family get together celebrated at the main house; this was mainly because Marcus wouldn't come over if there was no occasion. Eva’s arrogance and selfishness had reached new heights. Even though she knew that birthdays were a family affair for the Walters, she reminded Darcy that he had promised her that they would go away on a beach holiday to celebrate his birthday, just the two of them. Darcy was not convinced and kept asking her details of when he made the promise. Eva was not an ordinary woman to stumble when asked; She lied without even blinking “It was a long time ago. It is not a surprise that you forgot, that wasn’t a pleasant time.” “Oh???” Darcy raised his eyebrows. “Yo

“About what?” Elizabeth asked, even more anxiously than before. “Cough…. Cough….” Adam cleared his throat and continued with a sheepish smile “Remember what I previously told you when we got the news of Darcy meeting with an accident?” “Yes….” Elizabeth nodded and mumbled “Things might not be what we think it is and not to be sad???” “Um” Adam twisted his lips as he muttered “what I was telling was…” “Mom, what dad wanted to tell you was second brother didn’t really have an accident and he didn’t want you to be sad for no reason.” Chris couldn’t bear to watch his father squirm; his father was his idol. The other reason Chris was brave was because Emile knew everything…. But for now, let’s give him credit! “What are you talking about?” Veronica was the first blurt out “We all saw how he came back.” “Right….” Chris nodded as he paused before asking “And we all send him off on his trip to Hawaii, right?” Veronica didn’t respond; she just rolled her eyes, while Nola and Angel nodded

Darcy had a fabulous birthday for the first time in 20 years even though the celebrations still only included their closest family and friends; he hadn’t been this happy in a very long time. It could be seen in his demeanor as well; he was back to his old self. Chris’s villa was filled with laughter and happiness. Adam and Elizabeth were the first ones to leave, leaving space for the younger generation to muck around. The little ones were all packed off with their parents, it wasn’t that hard as most of them had already dosed off. Adam and Elizabeth had given their birthday present to Darcy before they left, contrary to the usual practice of presenting gifts when everyone gathered in the living room after the guests left. Firstly, there were no guests and secondly, they volunteered to chaperone the little ones. “What is mom and dad’s gift?” Eric asked curiously as they gathered around the fireplace. Darcy opened the small box to reveal a pair of exquisite cufflinks and passed it ar

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;
Never to look back What trouble did you two manage to get into this time?
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.
