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
“Dring…. Ring….Dring…” The phone kept ringing. “Hello” Christopher picked up the call with knitted brows. “Chris, where are you?” Mark’s deep voice came from the other end; The worry laced within was not hard to detect. “I just got back to Mossel Bay.” Christopher paused before asking “What happened eldest brother?” “That….” Mark didn’t know what to say. All the women in the family, including his mother, their wives and sisters were looking anxiously at him. “Chris, hold on.” Mark turned to his family that staring at him holding their breath “Mom, he is fine. He just got back from a work trip. I will go next door and discuss the Treger Merger with him since I have got the bugger on call.” Mark laughed lightly as he tried to ease the tension that was filling up in the room. “So, you’re saying he is fine?” Elizabeth asked with weepy eyes. “Um” Mark nodded reassuringly “Mom, do you want to talk to him?” “No… no… what’s there to talk?” Elizabeth waved her hands and added “Tell him
“Have I caused trouble?” Emile asked in a soft voice as she rubbed the tip of her nose. “How could that be?” Chris chuckled as he gestured Night Rider to bring the info over while both Emile and Abbey spoke in unison that they wanted to read as well. Helpless to reject, Chris gestured Night Rider to read out loud. Night Rider informed everyone that the job was taken by a mob who called themselves ‘Agents to Hades’. Their trademark was the ingenuity with which they carried out their hitlist. The only MO they had, was the untraceability to its members. Night Rider told them that the mob had made a deal with the cruise owners to run the session earlier and inform everyone except Emile or rather the group registered with Emile. They had purposely tampered the bottom of the cage to give way with manipulation that could be done onboard the cruise boat in such a way that it could not be detected even if it was investigated. They also used sonic waves to manipulate the sharks into being ag
Once Eva entered her car, gone was the ‘loving, worried aunt’ expression instead it was filled with viciousness. She was also surprised that her niece who was usually very obedient could think of something like this. She called her brother as she drove to the police station and updated him on the turn of events before hanging up. Eva reached the station earlier than her brother, but she didn’t want to go in. She thought that it was better to give Amanda a lasting memory so that she would be more obedient next time. Eva sat in the car contemplating the everything that happened since morning. She had never seen Mark so furious. He was always calm and collected. Her brows knitted as she thought of an oddity; The Walters were all very protective of their own and Darcy was the most hot-headed. Her frown deepened as she remembered how he barely spoke a word. Once she hit upon a problem, she started to re-analyse the turn of events over and over in her head, but there was nothing out of the
Eva slapped Amanda furiously as soon as they entered the house “Little bitch, what do you think you were doing?” “Auntie… I ….” Amanda paled as she saw the drastic change in Eva’s aura. “Do you have a death wish?” Eva fumed “Don’t drag me with you. This is the last time I stand up for you.” “If you don’t obey, then you are on your own.” Eva couldn’t calm down no matter how she yelled. “Auntie…. don’t …. Auntie… don’t….” Amanda cried pitifully tugging her Eva’s arm disregarding her insults and the slap. She needed Eva to be on her side. She was her ticket to the Walter manor and Chris. Poor Amanda didn’t know that Eva herself was walking on thin ice. Despite all her scheming and meticulous work in the household, she couldn’t get the heart of the one man she loved nor the support of that family. Only she knew that the loving husband-wife relationship was just a façade. The twenty-year timeline that they had signed on their marriage contract was soon nearing and she didn’t have any o
Night Rider made the arrangements for Neil for operate on Night Wing shortly after his arrival following Christopher’s instructions. Abbey was the most stressed of everyone waiting outside; Christopher and everyone on his team were confident of Neil’s skills and Emile trusted Christopher’s judgement. Abbey put down the reason for her stress to, her being the reason Night Wing got hurt. He would have been able to escape unharmed if she was not there and if Christopher did not delegate him to oversee her safety. Emile gently comforted her. Time passed slowly with no signs of people in the theatre coming out. However, no matter how Chris tried, he couldn’t get Emile to go and rest in the room. She wanted to be near Abbey. He could only sigh helplessly looking at the women sitting on the bench cuddled together. Strangely, he could understand. They were each other’s strength. Finally, after what seemed like ages, the lights above the theatre went off; shortly after the door opened with a
Christopher updated Neil with the details on what went on in the Walter manor on their way to the dock. “Cheee! Does she think it’s as simple as a visit to the precinct after hurting Night Wing?” Neil sneered. His lips curled up in a sinister manner “She has yet to meet this young master and truly understand what it means to offend one of us.” The dock was lit up with night lights. Chris and group headed for a very touristy looking cruise that was decked up for some sort of celebration. They headed downstairs under the guidance of their subordinates. The cruise moved forward silently. In the lowest deck was a glass cage filled with fish waste and freshly killed fish. But what was even more gruesome was that there were 5 men immersed all the way up to their chins in this concoction. The men who were most feared and mysterious on the dark net stood in the glass cage with just their heads above the gruesome mix, their eyes roving around with fear. Chris and his group were not in a hur
2 weeks went by as Night Wing recovered. During this time, the only change Emile noticed was that she was becoming incredibly lazy, she found herself dozing off more and more frequently. Christopher called the doctor they had consulted previously as he was worried. The doctor reassured him that it was normal for pregnant woman to feel sleepy and that there was no harm in sleeping. She didn’t forget to remind him to make sure that she avoided cold seafood and had plenty of nutritious food and exercise. Christopher realised that they had been distracted ever since they found out that she was pregnant and he had forgotten to care about her diet. He called Night Rider to enquire whether any of their men were proficient in nutritional aspects and had good culinary skills. “Shouldn’t you be asking me this question?” Neil had just walked in. “Why do you need a nutritionist?” Neil continued as he sat on the couch with Night Wing without waiting for Christopher to answer his first question.
Daniel didn’t speak to Chris Jnr on the way back; he sat sulking and occasionally giving him an annoyed look without realizing that his grievance was against a six-year-old. But the sentiments were totally lost on Chris Jnr who thought about it as ‘good riddance to bad rubbish!’Daniel didn’t want much… he just wanted his son to care… to ask how he was… whether he was hurt? He didn’t expect his son to do much but an excuse of helplessness to show he cared… but what he got in return was ignorant indifference.Chris Jnr feigned ignorance to Daniel’s sulking and kept staring out of the window as always; no one would suspect that a six-year-old was doing this on purpose, especially for a kid like Chris Jnr, whose norm was to sit quietly staring out the window.On the flight, Daniel wanted to warn Chris Jnr several times not to tell Emile about what happened, but he didn’t know how to; the awkward silence lasted till the duo reached home. Well, awkward silence for Daniel and blissful silenc
George tried to rush to Daniel’s side before the police took him away, but he wasn’t successful; the more he tried, the more he got pushed back. He would have to be a fool if he didn’t realize that the shadow guards were purposefully making it difficult for him, making it impossible to get to his boss’s side in order to facilitate the arrest proceeding smoothly. How could the shadow guards not know what their little miss wanted? How dare they allow even the slightest negligence?The only thing George could do was rush after police car, hoping to make it in time, at least avoiding his boss from being locked up. He was surprised to see Chris Jnr sitting quietly in the car, expressionless, without any intention of stopping/ interfering with the ruckus. Until now, he had assumed that Chris Jnr was still in class, unaware of the situation but what he saw in front of him turned his world view upside down. Shouldn’t the kid be concerned when his father was being beaten senseless? Even if he i
“How is daddy doing?” Chris Jnr asked little treasure in concern as he walked back to their classroom holding hands.“He’s still holding it together, feigning a happy face to keep me happy." Emm pursed her lips with a helpless expression before she leaned closer and whispered in her brother’s ears "He's gone to help with the request from that president we met when we took daddy’s fancy plane.” “Eldest brother came back to keep me company.” Emm spoke with a bright smile as she knew what her brother was going to ask next.“Daddy was going to change his plans after you went with that bad father, but I didn’t let him.” Emm raised her chin proudly “I called Eldest brother so that I wouldn’t delay daddy’s important business.”“Little treasure is very sensible.” Chris Jnr had a doting smile as he tapped the tip of his little sister’s nose.Emm’s smile grew wider and brighter as she pointed her chin towards the sky; she was floating, her pride shooting to the skies after being acknowledged by
“Where are you taking me?” Neil asked with feigned irritation as Marcus led his through an overgrown grassy forest area which was located behind the prestigious school.“Aha….” Neil kept on with his theatrics as he feigned an enlightened expression “Are you going to demand entry to the school under the pretence that you have me as your hostage?? Are you???”“Che!!!” Marcus rolled his eyes as he increased his pace and kept 2 feet ahead of Neil.“Hey… wait for me… how can you claim to have me as a hostage if I run away?” Neil asked with a shamelessly smug face as he firmly believed his theory although his body was more honest, his legs kept up Marcus.“It’s here.” Marcus stopped at an inconspicuous spot and leaned against the wall casually, with his hands in his pocket.“Here???” Neil looked around at the unkept environment with disgust as he walked towards Marcus.Marcus took two steps hurriedly, keeping his distance away from Neil.“Why are you moving away?” Neil asked innocently as he
“I will get Night Vigil to charter the trip to Uncle Neil’s place.” Marcus was about to get up when Emm pulled him back as she hit her forehead with an expression that was midway between helpless and ridicule “My dear eldest brother, where do you think my daddy’s appendages will be when he is in trouble?”“You mean ….” Marcus eyes widened “Uncle Neil is here…”Emm nodded with an all-knowing expression, but added “Not exactly… I mean they are not here, but they are at Royale Lux.”“Let’s go.” Marcus led the way whistling, without feeling even the slightest bit of embarrassment after being ridiculed by his little sister.“Why are you here?” Neil grumbled as soon as he saw Marcus, on opening the door.“And I am not alone.” Marcus chuckled as he entered, revealing Emm who was hiding behind him. Although Emm boasted shamelessly that she was going to charm Neil with her cuteness, she was still scared; she held onto Marcus’s shirt as she hid behind him and peeped cautiously towards Neil.“God
The next morning as everyone sat for breakfast, Emm dialled Marcus-“Eldest brother…” She pouted as she called out in grievance as soon as he answered.“What’s wrong?” Marcus’s concerned voice came from the other end.“Nothing…um…um…” Emm sniffled as she shook her head.Chris stopped eating as he walked up to his little treasure and carried her in his arms and cuddled her; he didn’t need to ask to know what was wrong. His treasures had never been separated. He leaned forward and whispered, “Daddy is not going. Daddy will postpone the trip.”“But that is an important thing.” Emm blinked innocently.“Nothing is more important than my treasures.” Chris smiled reassuringly as he gently smoothed her back.“Eldest brother, little treasure is all alone and is not happy. Can you come to accompany me?” Emm blinked innocently as she spoke into the phone; she didn’t forget to complain “Big brother went with that bad man yesterday; he didn’t care about little treasure.”“Eldest brother will be the
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 empathet
“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 Holsto
“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
