“Your Honor, regardless of the grounds on which the parents got together and later separated, the children belong to both parents. The children have the right enjoy the care and love of both parents. My client has been denied the right to even the knowledge of the existence of his children.”

“Defence council” Judge Bianchini turned to Thomas with a quizzical gaze.

“How can I raise an objection to a universal truth?” Thomas laughed as he stood up “But I do have a genuine dilemma.”

“Oh???” Judge Bianchini raised his eyebrows while Danzel had an irritated expression. He knew Thomas too well to know that this was not a genuine question but rather the basis of the trap that he was laying out for them to naively crawl into.

“What gives one the right to being a father? Accidentally planting the seed, ordering destruction when not convenient and claiming rights once all the difficulties are passed? Or…” Thomas paused with a thoughtful and yet confused expression “Does it come with nurturing an

    “I concur.” Judge Bianchini nodded as he turned towards Thomas “Unless Defence council has something to prove otherwise.”“Your Honor, I would like to submit exhibits P1 which is a court order from the country that Mr Holston is a citizen of and one that my client resided in while she married to Mr Holston.” Thomas paused before continuing-“However, before submitting that to public, I would like to display exhibits Q1, R1 and S1 as my background evidence for exhibit P1 so that my client will not be accused of misusing either her maternal home clout or her current one.”The clerk projected the exhibits in the order Thomas requested after receiving a nod from Judge Bianchini.On screen was the living room of the Emile and Daniel’s wedding room.

    Danzel cleared his throat as he stood up, he would have preferred to run without looking back but that wasn’t an option here.“Your Honor, my client is aware and remorseful of his past actions.” Danzel didn’t have the confidence to look at Judge Bianchini “His plea is for a chance, a second chance to make up for his past, a chance to make amends to his kids, a chance to be better.”“Defence council”“Your Honor, I repeat my previous question seeking the court’s benevolent judgement.” Thomas smiled “Who would the court deem suitable to be a father, one who refuses to accept responsibility and forces the mother to have abortion or the one who convinces and supports the mother to give birth and cares for them?”“I would also like to respectfully ask, is the responsibility of nurturing of a child, one that deserves to be gambled with, keeping in mind that children are the future our country?”“May I ask the court who will be responsible if the child loses the shade of a parent who loves an

    “Madam, would you like to comment on today’s verdict?” Reporters crowded around Emile even before she had a chance to leave the court room. Chris who had just walked over to Thomas frowned visibly as he gestured Night Wing to clear the reporters away. However, even before Night Wing could take a step forward, Emile who was standing with her and Chris’s sisters-in-law (and sisters) opened her mouth with a smile “Justice is served.”“Madam, we were called here today by your ex-husband for observing and broadcasting the court proceedings.” One of the reporters who felt sorry for Emile after witnessing everything at the court proceedings and decided to come clean “I didn’t expect the truth to be so far from what we were led to believe. I am sorry but I promise to report everything I witnessed today truthfully, if you permit.”“And if I don’t?” Emile chuckled lightly.“I will respect your choice.” The reporter responded a graceful smile.“Won’t you be in trouble with your editor?” Emile rai

    All the reporting firms and reporters that joined in the fun with the exception of the reporter who found his conscience after the court hearing ceased to operate the day after the court hearing; some declared bankrupt while others were acquired and converted into businesses that had nothing to do with journalism and mass media communications.The Walters and Burkes got together at Chris’s place for a family breakfast before the Burkes left. Adam and Elizabeth were also in attendance with Elizabeth on her best behaviour. The adults sat in the formal dining area while the youngsters had their breakfast in the informal dining area.“Wasn’t that a bit cruel?” Henry asked Chris without the slightest sincerity when he sat for breakfast the next day. Inwardly, he was full of appreciation for this brother-in-law of his; he was too much to his liking.“Cruel??” Chris lifted his eyebrows arrogantly “The basic skill for a reporter is the discernment of authenticity of the news they are reporting

    The next few weeks passed peacefully for Chris and Emile while the final preparations for the banquet for celebrating the 50th year of the Walter Empire were being completed; No effort or expense was spared in preparing the banquet of the era where all partners regardless of how small or how big the partnership was, were invited with the same etiquette nor were any dignitaries forgotten.Emile and Nola were responsible for making sure their family were the best dressed and were completely wiped out by the time they finished everyone’s outfit; House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions stopped taking new orders in the month leading up to banquet.Emile and Nola decided to modify the trend of couple dressing to family dressing; Embroidery done in the darker or lighter shade of their cloth with a fine silver border was the common theme while the ladies dresses had more embellishments. The other common feature was the style and colour scheme.While Emile’s end was busy yet peaceful, not ev

    Daniel had no idea how he came back to his hotel room, nor did he know how long he slept for. He sat in his bed in the hotel room looking at George with a confused gaze. He stared at George for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to ask “Is the court hearing really over? Did I ….”“Boss, let’s go home.” George spoke in a dejected tone.“Home???” Daniel’s lips curled down in self-ridicule “Do I have one anymore?”“Boss, we missed this boat. Let’s not delve on it….” George paused as he wasn’t sure if Daniel was listening, he observed Daniel’s reaction and slowly opened his mouth once again once he confirmed that Daniel had heard what he said.“Boss, shall I book our return flights?”“Um” Daniel nodded before stopping him “Wait…. I want to see my kids one last time…. even if I have to beg that arrogant bastard.” The last part of his sentence was said under his breath in a whisper.George didn’t think this was a good idea, but he complied considering his boss’s state.Daniel got Ge

    Daniel didn’t know how to respond; he looked at them helplessly before speaking in a low voice “I don’t know what Mr Walter told you.” Daniel couldn’t get himself to call Chris as their father… that title was his… he paused as he gathered his thoughts looking at the duo that were red with anger, with a gaze filled with love.“But know this, I didn’t… I never said I didn’t want you nor did I say I hate you.” Daniel looked at Chris Jnr who was an exact replica of his younger self as he repeated “I didn’t know you existed. Otherwise, I would have bought you home earlier.”“Do you think you can fool us just because we are just four years old?” Emm pushed Daniel who was leaning closer to them. He didn’t have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have, all he wanted was to hug his kids.“Heh! If you knew, we would have already been reduced to ashes and gone into the reincarnation cycle.” Chris Jnr scoffed as he too pushed Daniel who was kneeling besides them.Daniel lost his balance and fell backw

    “Boss, Neil and the rest have landed at our homebase.” Night Wing informed Chris once Daniel left.“Are they coming over?” Chris asked as he stood up.“Yes, they were on their way, should be here any minute. Night Vigil informed me about 5 mins ago.” Night Wing responded as he followed Chris towards the basement.Two tiny heads popped at the head of the stairs; they ran down to hug Chris legs seeing that Daniel had left “Daddy, are you angry? Should we apologize again?”Chris knelt down to pick the duo, he tapped Emm’s nose with a doting smile as he reprimanded “Little ghost, who are you apologizing to? Didn’t you wait upstairs till everyone left?”“Hmph” Emm hmphed as she crossed her arms and lifted her head defiantly.“Daddy, you are not being honest.” Chris Jnr too folded his arms as he looked at Chris with an accusatory gaze.“Oh???” Chris hooked his eyebrows with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.Chris Jnr: “Didn’t you tell us that we have to be honest?

    Chris noticed that little treasure was eager to go back and didn’t force her to stay. He knew his little treasure’s intention was not what she said out loud, but he still indulged her; indulging his treasures had become a habit.Night blade and his team was tasked with escorting Little treasure back while Night Rider and his team stayed back with Chris; there was no need to ask about Night Wing to know what he did.“I don’t want Uncle Night Blade to follow me.” Little treasure pouted, throwing another temper tantrum before setting off, shocking Chris and Night Blade. Night Blade felt hurt even though his face was expressionless; his love and affection for the two treasures was no less than that of Night Wing.“Why is that?” Chris asked in a gentle tone, without showing any impatience even though he was shocked.“Uncle Night Blade won’t listen to me.” Little treasure pouted with feigned grievance although her lips her curling up victoriously in a corner not visible to anyone.Chris sig

    As the first rays of the sun kissed the land, no matter how reluctant he felt, Chris kissed goodbye to his dear wife. During the night, they had reached a consensus to see what their treasures were up to and not tear open the farce till they got the green flag from their treasures.Chris dragged his feet back to the manor, wondering if he should punish his son for dragging his feet and delaying their reunion. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why his son wouldn’t just call him and tell him that his mommy was back to normal and ask him to pick them up. He didn’t suspect his son’s intentions, just felt miserable that he still had to be separated from his family although the problems had been solved.However, all his thoughts were thrown to the back of mind as he saw his little treasure sitting in the lounge with her princess temper; her eyelashes stained with dewdrops that were threatening to fall, causing Marcus to run round in circles to please her.“What’s goi

    The same evening that Chris was rushing towards the light of his life, many miles away in Níngjìng valley, Lai-Li and Bai-Min were anxiously waiting at the door of their master’s seclusion cave. It had been more than 2 weeks since Master went into seclusion.According to his temperament and considering how anxious he was to get to Chris and Emile; he should have come out after their previously imposed curfew of 1 week. However, not only did he not come out in a week, but another week had also quietly passed without any moment from cave.Just as the duo were losing patience, the stone at the entrance of the cave rolled away and Master appeared before the duo with his usual amiable smile, like a living buddha; however, the paleness around his aura although it was better than when he woke up 2 weeks ago, it hadn’t disappeared.“Master, are you not better?” Lai-Li ran over to hug master like a small child and asked anxiously as she noted that her master’s aura lacked the majesty and vigor

    “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

    “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
