Chris’s place became much livelier than the gloom and doom expected from the stress in the week leading up to the court case with the Burke brothers deciding to stay back till the court case was finalized. All they needed to do to implement the change in plans were to make a call. Henry called his father and heartlessly dumped the reins of running the Burke industries on him before he and his brothers called their wives to update them with the change in their plan; they originally only planned on a flying visit to make sure their little pearl was alright before flying back the same day.

The ladies of the Burke clan too decided to follow their men with the kids once they were made aware and they heartlessly left the old men to fend for themselves and manage the company. Luckily for the old men, their women decided to stay back and help under the condition that they would go over the day before the case began.

Addison and Eric had an arrangement between themselves, more of a pact made up

    The next morning, Chris and Emile were the last ones to wake up and come downstairs. It was a miracle that they slept in this long considering the noise downstairs. Chris Jnr and Emm had woken up in the morning and went for a run as per their norm before crawling back into bed to snuggle with mommy and daddy.The only difference was usually daddy would accompany them for the morning run but this morning, daddy feigned ignorance to their prodding no matter how they poked him. They could only ditch their daddy who was feigning sleep and go on with their day. Luckily big brother wasn’t as heartless as daddy and was waiting for them along with their Burke brothers and sisters.The younger generation of Burkes didn’t have this habit considering they were all still young, but they got up for the sake of excitement. Miles, Penny and Vincent too joined the mob soon after Chris Jnr and Emm joined them.“Why is everyone up so early?” Emile asked with a sheepish smile as she noted that everyone w

  • Never to look back   How can I raise an objection to a universal truth?

    “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. Michelle stood next to Daniel crying that she didn’t want to be a stepmother and that Daniel had broken his promise by letting Emile become pregnant. In the background was a pale Emile who had been throwing up non-stop and weakly refuting the acc

    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

  • Never to look back   Can you give me some face in front of my wife?

    Chris and Emile didn’t have any difficulty sneaking out from under the watchful eyes of the press nor the guests…they had a genius son who had mapped everything to the dot for making their most important day picture perfect. It was so magical that both, Chris and Emile were afraid that it was a dream, and reality would kick in once they woke up; Both had to agree that it was better than what either of them could have imagined even in their wildest dreams.As they sat in the getaway car, Emile kept pinching Chris and asking him “Hubby, does it hurt?” while Chris kept answering “Wife, I am too excited to feel pain.” His answer wasn’t helping but there was nothing anyone could do, no one could understand their mental state unless they had been in the same situation.Once the excitement calmed down, Emile rested in Chris’s embrace with a blissful smile, her mind unwinding, relishing the mad rush or rather excitement from yesterday evening till the moment she saw Chris climbing into the ba

    “I know you are married…” the man who answered previously spoke once again, the helplessness in his voice reverberating through the hall “but I have never seen you with Mrs Walter and I have always seen you with Ms Bell, who was your companion for banquets and social dinners. I have no reason to doubt your words when you introduced her this morning although it did seem a bit redundant.” He shrugged opening his palms upward.“No… no….no… this is all wrong…” Daniel shook his head in disbelief as he took a step back.“How can it be wrong?” Chris Jnr’s stern voice rang through the hall, loud and clear, filled with rage “Didn’t you like playing mind games?”“Can you not take it when you are on the receiving end?” Emm too asked in righteous anger; her mommy forgot her for 2 whole months.“You…. you bastard… you stole my wife…” Daniel roared without registering what Chris Jnr and Emm said and lunged towards Chris, who was standing with a relatively calm expression, although his brows were sl

    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 joined

    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 relatives

    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 with

    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 be

    “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;

    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.A
