Monday morning seemed to be a morning from hell for the Walter household with the phone bells ringing incessantly along with the first rays of sun. Mark and his brothers had just come back from their morning run when they heard the butler announcing to their father that there was an urgent overseas call. Adam came to the main hall area to attend the call while the men gathered around near him. The women were also alarmed since no one ever rang the landline number anymore. Eva had just walked down the stairs when she saw Adam’s fac lose color while holding the phone in a daze. Mark hurriedly took the phone from his father and spoke in his stead. “What’s going on?” Thomas asked in his usual calm manner. Eva stood on the stairs without moving as she concentrated all her senses on the conversation downstairs. She knew they wouldn’t tell her if she asked; this was the only way she could gather information. “Call Chris back.” Mark made the call. He turned to his father “Dad, it’s going
12 hours later, Chris’s flight touched down in Kathmandu. The Walter brothers (and brothers-in-law) hurriedly cleared customs via the VIP channel and hurried towards the site of accident. Rescue operations at the site was still underway with all team members rescued other than Darcy. Chris and rest soon received on updates from the rescue team. Chris and Lorenzo volunteered to replace two members from the rescue team considering how exhausted they were, with the operation having gone over 15 hours. Soon Chris and Lorenzo suited up along with Night Rider and Night Shadow and joined in active search. They decided to go and abseil further right from the point of the accident rather following the combing pattern followed by the rescue team. “I know how my brother’s brain works in an emergency” was Chris’s explanation to question raised by the rescue team as he continued his descend down, The rescue members didn’t argue with the cocky young master and decided to leave him to experience
Darcy was shifted to the private room in the VIP ward once he woke up about 3 hours after the surgery. Eric stayed back while the rest went to the hotel to rest. Eric stared at his second brother’s flawless face that even time couldn’t leave its impact and sighed regretfully. Eric noticed Darcy’s eyelashes fluttering as he was staring at Darcy without blinking. He jumped up and rang the alarm bell next to Darcy forgetting that he had already woken up once yesterday. “So noisy.” Darcy grumbled as he opened his eyes to stare at Eric. Neil along with his team of doctors had come running in response to the alarm and noticed the awkward atmosphere. Neil waited for a minute taking in Darcy’s response without going forward. “Who are you? Why do you look like a grown-up version of my fifth brother?” Darcy sat up wearily as he took in his surroundings. “Second brother???” Eric called out in shock and distress. “Who are you calling second brother?” Darcy wrinkled his pretty brows in disgust
Chris didn’t dare relax his vigilance even though he knew that Eva was immersed in her schemes and didn’t have time to stare at him. He still kept appearances with his shadow guard as they swapped identities and went on with the weekend rendezvous. The Walter brothers (and brothers- in-law), Adrian and Neil sat together in the study at Chris’s home base reviewing and collating all the information and POI. “Regarding Eva’s scheme, we now have conclusive evidence that Marcus is Second young master and Ms Kingsley’s son. We know how the plan came about as well but this hearsay. To close this file, we need evidence for how this was carried out.” Night Wing summarized. Night Wing “The other POI are Sheryl, Silas and Amanda.” “Amanda has currently retreated but her whereabouts are unknown.” Night Wing pursed his lips “She slipped while we were careless.” “Sheryl will not have the strength to come up with schemes in the short term. Boss has ordered the attack on the Shelby corporation. S
Emile’s end was not as chaotic as Chris’s. Other than the fact that she was getting heavier and the usual troubles of being six months pregnant, there was nearly nothing exciting. But that was until this morning. This morning was special as, as they were having breakfast, Raphael’s men bought back news. These were results from their investigation of university enrollments. The news that Raphael’s men bought back confirmed Emile’s intuition. Grace had indeed enrolled and completed her bachelors and masters in Archeology. However, there was no information after her graduation. “Shall I pass this information to Chris?” Raphael didn’t know what Emile wanted to do but he was impressed with her deduction. Honestly speaking, he didn’t hold much hope for her theory; he was just indulging her on behalf of Chris. “No” Emile shook her head “We haven’t found Grace. I want to find her.” “What do you have in mind?” Raphael no longer looked down on her ideas. She had earned his respect. “How abo
Emile and Raphael arrived back at the Dupont estate on Friday afternoon, just in time for Chris’s arrival. Emile wasn’t worried about the shadow guards or Anne and Dolly snitching on her. She had already convinced them with her twisted logic. It would be a lie to say that Chris didn’t notice that something was amiss when he arrived at the Dupont estate. What exactly, he couldn’t be bothered to think once he saw the beautiful smile on his beloved wife’s face. Even the normally astute and observant Chris missed all the telltale signs and immersed himself in the happiness of re-uniting with his beloved wife; not that Emile did anything to let him down. Raphael looked at everything around him and couldn’t help but chuckle looking the young man whom he admired the most, turn into a fool. He had even made a bet with Emile that Chris would find out what they were up to even before they sat down to eat dinner. Looks like he was destined to lose… the weekend passed by with the husband and wi
Darcy and Eva landed back at the private landing strip for the Walters in early hours of the morning. All the Walters without exception were present to welcome them home. Eva felt overwhelmed even though she knew the line- up was not for her. She called out respectfully to Adam and Elizabeth before turning to nod at the rest of the family members. No one took any offense. The thing that surprised the Walter women was how lovey-dovey second brother and sister-in-law became…... but then again, perhaps the life and death gave second brother a rude shock, waking him up to cherish those around him. The only one who was not happy about her second brother’s enlightenment was Victoria. For her, love and hate were well defined; just by going to through gates of hell wouldn’t change a thing unless that person exchanged their life as a price of hatred. Eva definitely didn’t have any saving grace by her books. If anything, she was an opportunist who took advantage of her brother’s amnesia. But e
Chris: “Dad there is one more thing.” “Um??” Adam raised his eyebrows. “No matter how I think about this, I can’t narrow down to anyone.” Chris shrugged “Don’t you think that bitch was a bit too inexperienced to have come up with such an elaborate plan?” “You think there is someone behind Eva?” Adam knitted his brows; It was not that he hadn’t thought of this possibility since Chris had brought this scheme to light…. But he too didn’t come across any suspects…. Other than one …... one that he didn’t want to think about …... one that he would rather feign ignorance. “Not think…. I am sure.” Chris narrowed his eyes. He knew that look on his father’s face. Not just him, the rest of the Walter brothers too narrowed their eyes as their gaze fell on their father. The only innocent ones were Thomas, Peter and Lorenzo. They probably didn’t know Adam as well as his own boys! “Dad, it is not that you haven’t suspected…” Mark slowly spoke up “It’s that you don’t want to tell us, isn’t it?”
