Lai-Li looked at Min who had rushed back and was sitting in a corner with his face as black as a pot as though he was sulking over something, in confusion. She looked back at her master who showed no signs of waking before slowly approaching Min. She gently placed her hand on his shoulders as she asked in a low voice “How is it? How is the youngest mistress of Walter family? Is everything alright?”It was fine if she didn’t ask anything; but the moment she opened her mouth, it was like adding a fuse to the firecracker leading Min to have an angry meltdown.“Don’t mention that woman.” Min exhaled deeply as though he was trying to exhale a bad breath “She is not worthy. That woman is not worthy of a man, as righteous and upright as the youngest master Walter.” Min scolded Emile without a conscience. Every time he thought about what he had heard and seen when he went over, it was enough to send his blood boiling.He wanted to scold some more, using some more profound words, but his culti
“That reminds me, how is Emile? Any news?” Master finished his bowl of soup and asked about the matter that he was most concerned about.“Don’t ask about her.” Min scowled; both his and Lai-Li’s face darkened at the mention of Emile.“Why? Didn’t you two like them?”“Not anymore.” Min turned his head resentfully while Lai-Li lowered her head.“What exactly happened?” Master asked anxiously “Is she in trouble?”“She is trouble.” Min grumbled refusing to speak.“Min had gone to take a look…” Lai-Li spoke in a downcast tone “She seems to have gone back to her ex. She is not with the youngest master Walter anymore.”“What???” Master asked in shock, before shaking his head in denial “Something is terribly wrong. It cannot be like that…. It won’t….”“I don’t want to believe it either.” Lai-Li pouted “But Min saw that man swaggering in and out of the ancestral house of the Walter after passing on Emile’s request for divorce.”“No… I need to check on them… something isn’t right…” Master tried
“I don’t want to play word games with you...” Daniel huffed as he tried to rein his temper. What he really wanted to do was beat up the smug, insufferable man before him who thought he was king of the jungle. Wonder what Daniel would do if he knew that Chris would not even need one hand to beat him to a state that even his mother wouldn't recognise him? Wonder how colourful Daniel's face would be if he knew that Chris was not king of the jungle but he is the legendary Lord of the Night? However, as they say, ignorance is bliss and this was Daniel's current state.“Not that you’d win even if you tried.” Chris smirked “But I really can’t bear to keep looking at your obnoxious face any longer than I have to. So please, is there anything else?”“What could I want from you other than the divorce that my lover requested and our kids?” Daniel spoke with an extremely disgusted expression. Their disgust for each other was mutual.“Your kids??” Chris hooked his lips as he taunted “Does Mr Holst
Chris Jnr sat silently starring out the window as they drove to the airport. Daniel tried to start a conversation with him many times, each time failing miserably.“Daddy will never give up on you like others… after all I am your biological father. Not everyone can replace me.” Daniel started the conversation once again, after boarding the flight.“Whatever.” Chris Jnr didn’t even spare him a glance as he looked outside the window once again.“I know you are feeling sad but don’t hold it in.” Daniel tried to comfort and at the same time, he didn’t forget to sling mud at Chris “Being a father is a big commitment, it’s hard for someone without any blood ties to hold on to such a commitment. Don’t blame him.”“Whatever.”“Your mother is already upset with everything that’s happened and feels really bad and guilty.” Daniel didn’t forget to brain wash along the way. How hard could it be to steer the thoughts of a six-year-old?“Don’t bring up the past and hurt her.” Daniel shrugged empathe
Emile sat by the windowsill hugging her knees and looking at the endless night with a desolate expression trying to filter out the annoying sounds coming from the master bedroom. She let out a soft sigh thought about her miserable existence. Eight years of infatuated love and 3 years of marriage with absolute devotion left her with nothing but endless shame and an empty house. In the three years of marriage, there was not a day that the newspapers and entertainment world did not have a news of the colorful scandals for her husband. Emile rested her chin on her knees as she thought back to the folly of her youth. She met Daniel during her first year of university at a gathering of family friends. If at first, she was mesmerized by his handsome face and his domineering aura, later she fell in love with his brilliance and character. Emile was an outstanding bubbly and beautiful girl. She was the goddess in the hearts of almost all the young men at her university, but she had eyes only
Emile woke up with the first rays of sunlight. She hummed a tune as she busied herself in the kitchen making breakfast. Her steps were lighter with the joy of determination after a torturous night of self-evaluation and reminiscing. She finished her breakfast and left home without waiting for the Daniel to wake up.Daniel however was already awake. He lifted his eyebrows curiously as he heard the happy humming coming from outside. But he didn’t get up as Michelle was sleeping nestled in his embrace.Emile first visited her grandfather trusted aide, Lawyer Hee and spent the whole morning discussing and drafting her next steps. In the afternoon she visited grandpa Holston.“Grandpa, I am here to visit you.” Emile stood at the entrance of the living room after the butler had announced her arrival.“Come… come….” Grandpa Holston waved his wrinkled hand as he invited her enthusiastically. Emile walked over and sat next to him with a polite smile “How are you feeling, Grandpa?”“All the mor
Daniel got in his car in irritation and flung the divorce agreement application copy in annoyance onto the passenger seat and drove away. He hit the steering wheel in annoyance a few times to get rid of his anger. He had no idea why he was angry. This was what he wanted for the last three years…. Now that he had got it without even having to ask for it…. why was he annoyed?He calmed himself down by the time he reached Michelle’s apartment. He rationalized his anger was due to Emile’s arrogance and nothing more. He put the divorce agreement in the dashboard before walking up to pick her.The banquet was for celebrating the fiftieth birthday of one of his business partners who was also his father’s friend. Normally people would bring their spouses to such events; but Daniel never bought Emile… not even once. Either it was Michelle or one of the models he was having an affair with while Michelle went away. Initially this was the joke of the event and Emile’s status would be the butt of
Daniel woke up disoriented and looked around in haze. He had no idea where he was… the last thing he remembered was drinking with Ronald. Looking around he realized that this was rooms upstairs for guests that didn’t want to head back.He heaved a sigh of relief as he saw Ronald lying even more wasted on the next bed.“What time is it?” Ronald lifted his head lazily as he heard Daniel getting ready.“Around 1 in the afternoon.”“What???” Ronald sat up in a flurry.“I will head back home and see what needs to be done.” Daniel tapped his back “You take your time.”Daniel sat in the car rubbing his forehead He regretted his rudeness yesterday. He took out the divorce agreement from the dashboard to read before going back. There was nothing to read…. he looked at the papers in shock. There were no items listed under divorce settlement. Only a statement “Headed to the bridge of no return; Strangers forever.”Daniel shook his head in denial before his lips curled in ridicule. He knew how mu
