While the Burkes had calmed down and started to relax from the stress of the day, the Walter main residence was in an uproar. Hours earlier, as soon as the Walters reached home, Elizabeth could no longer hold her temper and started throwing a temper tantrum. She had been fuming all the way from when she had been disregarded by her husband and sons at the hospital till now. “What are you all rebelling like this for?” Elizabeth fumed as she stormed into the house and threw her handbag on to the tea table “What did I do to deserve such disrespect from all of you?” “Where will I put from my face if you treat me like this in front of outsiders?” Elizabeth kept ranting without giving anyone a chance to respond. “Mom, have you finished?” Mark asked in a low growl when he saw that his mother taking a sip of water. Elizabeth turned to look at Mark with a resentful gaze; This was her eldest son, the one she struggled with the most to bring him up safely, and now…. “Do you not know what you

Elizabeth watched in horror at the cruelty of the two woman who always had a gentle persona whenever she met them. She didn’t expect it to turn out this way. She didn’t have a high opinion of Emile, nor did she like her but that was only because she was bringing in the bastard from another man into her family, to enjoy the same benefits as her grandsons. But she had never wished for anything of this extent to befall her; she thought that they would just push her down the stairs or something like that...... without thinking how dangerous something even as simple as pushing down the stairs could be for a full-term pregnant woman. “Why is it like this?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but mutter in shock. She turned her head to look at the one person whose opinion mattered the most to her, only to see his face turn ashen with every passing minute. She hastily stood up from her seat and ran to kneel next to him “Hubby…. I….” Adam turned to look at her, his face filled with disappointment and

Sheryl waited in vain for her father who doted her most to come and redeem her. On the second day, she could no longer hold on and started clamouring that she wanted the police to call her folks to come and meet her in jail. She didn’t believe that her parents would be so heartless to ignore her once they saw her pathetic state. These days Sheryl wasn’t really pathetic as she got preferential treatment; the cops didn’t dare to overdo, not because of their overflowing justice but because they didn’t know who Sheryl was. They were not sure if touching her would bring them endless grief. She kept saying that she was the future daughter-in-law of the Walter clan. Although the Walters never stepped into the world of darkness, who could say for sure? If it really was the Walters, then wouldn’t that mean they have bought eighteen generations of bad luck into their household? There were also those who were in a rush to flatter and obtain favours. This was a rare chance to obtain favour as t

Larry couldn’t harden his heart no matter how hard he tried. He rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital as soon as the phone was hung up. He could hear the conversation on the other end and knew that he wouldn’t be able to speak to Sheryl anytime soon. Sheryl’s mother was already in emergency unit by the time Larry arrived. He took over from the staff at Care Nursing Home and insisted on paying her for her trouble. It didn’t take long for the procedures to be completed and Sheryl’s mother to be admitted into ICU. Larry paid all the fees and requested services of a carer before leaving the hospital. Although he said he wouldn’t care, he couldn’t leave Sheryl alone. He got in touch with one of his lawyer friends and requested a meeting to discuss the case. They agreed to meet in the evening while the lawyer friend agreed to collect all the details. Larry kept his phone on him as he didn’t want to miss Sheryl's call in the event that she tried to reach him. He half expected her to call half

Chris didn’t know when he dozed off but was woken up by the footsteps outside their room even though they were barely audible. He too was a light sleeper like most people in trained in martial arts and didn’t give a damm about who he offended. He turned his gaze towards his sleeping beauty to see that she was still sleeping soundly, and nothing was out of place other than the bandage on the face and the pale complexion. As the footsteps got closer, Chris recognised the owners of the footsteps and hurriedly closed his eyes. In his defence, he didn’t want to be killed as soon as he woke up especially not since his wife and kids were well. He feigned to be unconscious forgetting that his best friend was not only the best doctor there was but also someone who knew him like the back of his hand. Neil did a quick check on Emile to make sure that she was recovering well before turning to Chris while Adrian stood by the door with a face full of schadenfreude. “Do you really need a doctor’s

The next morning, Emile woke up earlier than predicted, only to stare into two pools of deep passion and heart ache. “Good morning, Hubby” Emile smiled blissfully even though her face was still pale. “Good morning, Wife.” Chris leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips before touching his forehead on hers and whispering, “Wife, I am sorry. I didn’t protect you well. I almost lost you. I…..” Emile raised her hand to cover his mouth to stop him from talking. “This has nothing to do with you. You did very well.” Emile smiled as she lifted her hand and hugged him, kissing him gently on the lips, like a dragon fly touching the surface of water “Hubby, thank you for loving me and showing me what love is. Thank you letting me enjoy the joy of being loved.” “No… I should be thanking you.” Chris hugged her close and smiled “You gave an anchor for my restless soul and also gave me two beautiful babies.” “Babies…. Babies….” Emile suddenly remembered the wound Eva inflicted and touched

“You what???” Emile turned to look at Chris in shock. Chris’s face that had already turned ashen from Simon revealing his dark secret turned further pale on seeing the shock his wife’s face which was slowly turning white in addition to her already pale face. He had forgotten about this bunch when he took care of his good friends yesterday. “Your husband is too good.” Addison’s lips curled up, seeing the normally unshakeable young tycoon squirm. “He even gave Dr Livingston a run for his money. The nurses were saying that he lost his head and ran out of the operation theatre.” He didn’t hesitate to muddy the waters further, not realizing his dear sister’s face was turning paler with his indulgence. “Do you know that if First brother had not wanted to settle score with him, he would …..” Half way through his sentence, Henry slapped the back of his head stopping him from continuing “No one will think you are mute if you keep quiet.” “Aaaa….” Addison rubbed the back of his head as he l

“How can there be a party without the star?” Darcy laughed as moved to the side to give Neil access to the patients. Neil pretended to check on Chris and Emile before turning face everyone with an apologetic expression. He was getting ready to chase everyone out. However, Elizabeth interrupted his mental build up. “Son, how much longer are you going to ignore mom?” Elizabeth couldn’t bear it any longer; it was as if she didn’t exist in the room. Chris didn’t even look at her, not even once. He had acknowledged everyone else in the room, even the Burkes. “Son, mom was muddle-headed for a moment, she would never knowingly hurt you…” Elizabeth choked as she stepped forward to move closer to Chris. “Heh! Muddleheaded…” Chris snorted as he turned his head, his eyes blazing with anger. “Son…..” Elizabeth was shocked by the hatred she saw in her own son’s eyes even if it was only for a second, a second that his gaze flitted past her. “How long are you going to use the excuse of muddle-h

Never to look back How can you ask the princess to work?
“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
Never to look back What will we do if he does something to mommy?
“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
Never to look back His grievance is no longer righteous.
“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
Never to look back My son is very capable. Don’t underestimate his abilities.
“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
Never to look back Hubby…. your son bullied me….
“Hubby, you…. aren’t you getting married to someone else?” Emile asked cautiously in a low voice; no matter how cautious she was, she couldn’t hide the hope in her heart…which transmitted as an excited relief through her voice. “Wife, I have told you before…I, Christopher Walter will only marry once and my wife can only be Emile Burke…” Chris assured patiently, his voice carrying a promise…. an oath of a lifetime… “Hubby….” Emile called out in a soft voice, her lips curling up in a sweet smile, brightening her entire aura; all her grievance melted with his promise…she knew her husband never spoke for verbality. “Um” Chris hummed in a low coaxing voice; his aura too brightened, dissipating the cold, gloomy aura around him…. a simple address from her, calmed his restless soul like magic. At this moment, silence entwined with each other’s calm breathing, seemed to be healing the undue grievance suffered by the two souls who loved each other deeply. “Hubby….” Emile called again, her v

Chris Jnr was setting up his gadgets to contact little treasure when Night Sonic announced that he had taken care of everything. Chris Jnr nodded in acknowledgement as he continued to fidget with his gadgets.‘Duk…duk…duk…’ A soft knock was heard a few minutes later at Chris Jnr’s door.Chris Jnr’s lips curled up in a knowing smirk as he carelessly placed a sheet over his bed, covering his gadgets, and walked over to open the door.“Aren’t you tired? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” Chris Jnr quirked his eyebrows wanting to taunt, however his lips curled down guiltily as he saw his mommy’s red eyes.“Do you have a way to contact your daddy?” Emile quickly entered and closed the door as she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble; she didn’t know if Daniel was still awake or if their voice would attract unnecessary attention.Chris Jnr pursed his lips stubbornly toying with the idea of whether he wanted to pay back his daddy’s grievance or succumb to mommy’s sorry state. However, he gave u

“I was thinking out loud about the credibility of the news….” Daniel pursed his lips as he came up with what he thought was a plausible explanation “Considering we were college mates, and our families have collaborated on several projects and yet we were not invited.”“Che!!!” Chris Jnr sneered as he looked at Daniel with disdain “Do you think the legal team of the Walter enterprise is a joke?”“Libel is a serious offense.” Chris Jnr continued with his lips curled lopsidedly in disdain “I don’t think this outlet has money to burn nor the guts to gamble by slandering my….” “Why does a little kid like you have so much to say?” Daniel interrupted Christian, preventing him from completing his sentence and digging a hole for him. He truly regretted his decision to bring this brat back.Chris Jnr shrugged nonchalantly, no longer inclined to complete what he said.“You are right. Why were we not invited?” Emile didn’t want the topic to die down. She wanted to see if she could pick some cues
Never to look back Is your father getting married?
The day went by without any surprises till everyone sat to watch television after dinner at 6:45, this was the norm in the manor. Although this was the norm, today was different; different because the mental state of the three people seated in the room was not the same as every other day.On the surface it looked like a family of three enjoying a little downtime, however the waves surging underneath the calm exterior were far from calm, perhaps even using the word turbulent to describe the situation would be an understatement.Daniel narrowed his eyes as he thought about what despicable measures, he could use to force Chris to agree to divorce and speed up the process. He had already made arrangements to get a marriage certificate that was legal and valid as soon as the divorce was finalized even without Emile’s consent.However, Chris was proving to be a tough nut to crack. He couldn’t believe Chris didn’t have any intention of leaving Emile even though it appeared that she had betray
