Carl drove straight from Daniel’s house to the hotel close to the safe holding building that Lenin had asked him to deliver the payment card that he received from Daniel. He guessed that Lenin was probably waiting for this money to start over as well, but he didn’t care. What he wanted was his life back.This time, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to deliver it straightforwardly. He would handover with his right hand and take what he wanted with his left; from this point on, they wouldn’t owe each other anything.As he drove, he toyed in his head over the matter of the additional card that Daniel had given him. Although he didn’t know the exact number of how much was inside there, he knew that it was a considerable amount. He decided not to keep the card and hand it over to Lenin after thinking back and forth; he didn’t want this blood money for his new beginning. He wanted to start anew, without a trace of the past.He drove without taking any major breaks for 18 hours straight to reach
The man from the shadows searched frantically for Carl; he turned the whole hotel upside and even questioned his men who were stationed outside and yet there was no clue. He hacked into the surveillance network of the hotel and the surrounding traffic surveillance, only to be return empty handed. It seemed like Dr Burkhart had vanished into thin air.Night Blade watched the man’s actions from the shadows with a disdainful smirk ‘Did he think he was smart enough to catch the tail of the Night Lord’s men?’ He watched the man spinning on the spot like a clueless monkey, taking pleasure in misery till there was nothing left to watch before heading back to report to his Lord. He left behind one of his best men to monitor Lenin before leaving.Lenin blasted the man off the face of earth when he heard that they had not only lost Carl but also didn’t have a clue as to where he disappeared to.Lenin picked up the internal communicator and roared “Don’t bother me even if the building collapses.”
Chris carried his treasures to the dining table for lunch with a bounce in his step; he was finally going to be reunited with his wife, their family was going to be reunited. Even though it had only been a few days, Chris felt like eternity had passed since he had been separated from Emile; every second that they were separated was like a century, moving at a speed slower than that of a snail, torturing his soul and sanity.Night Wing and the rest of the shadow guards watched their lord who had regained his vitality with happiness in their eyes. Adding on the chirpiness of the two treasures, the tense and gloomy aura from the previous days changed into a festive one, bringing a smile to faces of everyone in the mansion, lord and servant alike.“Daddy, did you find mommy?” Emm asked as she ate the food that Chris had loving picked out for her.“Silly, why would daddy say that we are going to bring mommy home if he didn’t find her?” Chris Jnr chided his little sister like a little adult.
Emile raised her head as she heard a familiar voice ahead of her even though she didn’t quite hear what was said. She smiled sweetly as she saw an old friend from her university days and greeted warmly, “Hello Christopher.”“Fancy seeing you here…” Emile smiled as she spoke excitedly; she hadn’t seen him in more than 10 years. “What are you doing these days?”Christopher’s steps paused; his entire being, including his expression froze before he mustered the courage to speak. He didn’t register what she said afterwards. His thoughts were stuck at the address 'Christopher'. She hadn’t called him Christopher in the last seven years.Night Wing was also shocked but not because of the way she addressed Chris but because of what she asked next. He couldn’t make heads or tails of the conversation.Chris Jnr and Emm who were a few feet away, hiding in the shadows with Night Rider and Night Blade too frowned as they heard the conversation. Having been trained by their father since the age of th
Emile stood watching Chris’s disappearing back; she couldn’t explain why but the lonely back that was etched in despair made her heart ache uncontrollably. She didn’t know how but she knew that the reason he walked away without hesitation was to not make things difficult for her….how she knew… she couldn’t tell… Subconsciously, she raised her hand and pressed it against her chest as she felt the uncontrollable pain.“What’s wrong?” No one knew when Daniel arrived behind her. He knitted his brows as he followed her line of gaze; although there was an endless sea of people, there was no one, not even a trace of anyone he should be concerned about.“Don’t know why….” Emile spoke strenuously as she clutched her chests “I don’t feel well.”“Should we head to the hospital?” Daniel asked anxiously; he changed his question as he noted her shaking her head “Or should I call the doctor to meet us home?” “No need. I just want to go back and lie down.” Emile rejected flatly. She didn’t want to se
“Daddy, let’s head back home.” Chris Jnr spoke after much deliberation as they were resting in the lounge after dinner, looking at his daddy who was sitting listlessly staring into space, as though he had lost his soul.“Grandpa and maternal great grandpa will be worried.” He tried to come up with a reasonable explanation.“Um” Chris nodded as he slowly came out of his thoughts. He couldn’t sit wallowing in sadness. He had his treasures to look after; What would happen to them if he lost himself like this? What sort of example was he, setting for them?“Boss???” Night Wing was the only one who dared to make a sound; he knew his boss didn’t want to leave.“Pack up. We will leave in the morning.” Chris stood up carrying his treasures in either arm; he walked towards the bedroom once he spat out the order.The next morning, before the world around them was fully awake, Chris and his men left the peaceful south coast, heading towards home, the ancestral home of the Walters. Chris had his
“Daniel…. Daniel…. Come quickly….. big news…. Hurry…..” Emile called out excitedly as she looked in the direction of the study; She never expected to see such huge news as soon as she turned on the television.“What’s going on?” Daniel asked with an innocent expression as he came down the stairs with unhurried steps; his lips curled up victoriously in a corner that was not visible to Emile.“Daniel, Christopher Walter is getting married.” Emile eyes were wide open in excitement; she beckoned him to hurry and pointed back at the screen, “Is the lady anyone we know from university?”“Is he getting married?” Daniel asked with a cynical smile “Wasn’t he always coveting my wife? I thought he would never marry …. Such a hypocrite…” Daniel sneered as though he felt the insult was not enough “It didn’t take him long to forget you… did it?”“Wife, only I am sincere to you. We are married and I will only love you for the rest of our lives.” Daniel sat next to Emile as he tried to take credit.“W
Emile looked at Daniel’s face that was approaching in horror… her eyes widened as fear gripped her heart. She struggled fiercely as she tried to push him away...“No…” Emile screamed in fear as she raised her hand-“PAH…”A loud slapping sound rang clearly through the entire house.Emile looked from her hand that had turned red from slapping to the clear palm imprint on Daniel’s face in shock; she couldn’t believe that she slapped her husband.“I … I… I ….” Emile stammered as she shook her head in disbelief; tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn’t mean to…. It was her body’s reflux to the intense fear and disgust she felt as he approached her. She didn’t even know why she would have such a reaction to her husband, let alone hit him.Daniel’s face darkened but soon regained his gentleness as he turned his face towards her “I was out of line…. Sorry… I couldn’t control myself…I know I promised you that I would wait till you are ready.”“Wife, can you forgive me?” Daniel made a pitifu
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 Mr 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 Mossel Bay, there were no details of 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.”George: “Boss, shall I ask around?”“N
Daniel arrived in Mossel Bay with Emile and Chris Jnr after midnight and was surprised to see that despite being a small airport with the least traffic, they were functioning effectively in an orderly manner without the slightest panic or error; their flight was probably the last or one of the last to land.It didn’t take them long to clear customs and immigration; Daniel and George went over to get the luggage while Emile and Chris Jnr waited in a quiet corner.“What mischief are you up to this time?” Emile pinched Chris Jnr’s ears gently as she questioned, once she noted that Daniel had walked away, away from their range of activity.“No…. nothing…” Chris Jnr stuttered with a pink face as he tried to free himself from the empress’s claws.“Hymph” Emile hmphed unhappily as she turned away; Out the corner of her eyes, she saw Daniel was coming back.“What did you do to upset your mommy?” Daniel questioned him as soon as he came in front of them. He had seen Emile pinching Chris Jnr’s
Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil
Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co
“What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar
“Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas
Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa…. Hai…” Master sighed, shaking his head resent
Chris arrived by Emile’s side as soon as he received his son’s message, giving her a pleasant surprise. Emile was reading a book on her bed when Chris arrived.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’Emile lifted her head to look in the direction she heard the knock in puzzlement; Who would knock on the balcony door?’Her face brightened with the sweetest smile as she saw the man she missed with all her being even though he had only left a few hours earlier, appearing in front of her. She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu
Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the
