Daniel walked back to his room in a daze, clutching the USB, hoping with all his might that his guess was not true. He sat at his desk debating whether he should view or not. In the end, his curiosity got the better of him and he powered his laptop. The names of the folders in the USB were dates. Daniel opened the one with the oldest date out of curiosity as this was before his marriage to Emile. The date was closer to the time when he was in the second year of university.

The files inside the folder were named intuitively. He opened the one with meeting.

Inside the folder was a video file. It was a clip from the surveillance camera of his favourite hangout during his college days ‘Night flower’. This was not just his but also the favourite hangout place for all the youngsters from affluent families. There were six ladies in the room on the screen. He was familiar with the four of them.

One of them was Michelle and the other three were Michelle’s close friends during her university

    Daniel could guess what the rest of the folders contained, he didn’t know why but he couldn’t stop himself from clicking on them, once again in the chronological order of their name. The next folder contained two videos but both of them were a short file. Daniel clicked on it wondering what could be contained in a 5 min long video. The first one was the video of a meeting between Grandpa Holston and Michelle at a café near the old house. Michelle had arrived early and could be seen to talking to a staff at the counter and giving him a small packet of white powder and a wad of bank notes. Shortly after Grandpa Holston arrived. “Hello Grandpa Holston” Michelle had a very appropriate smile as she stood up to greet him. “Call me Senior Mr Holston. We are not familiar.” Grandpa Holston didn’t have his usual amiable aura but rather the majestic aura of when he ruled the Holson industries single-handedly. “Senior Mr Holston.” Michelle quickly changed her words, her smile only tightened fo

    Daniel didn’t know how long he sat still for…. It was only when George came to wake him up for getting ready for his big day, did he realize that he had being sitting like this all night long. He stood up hammering his numb legs for a few minutes before combing his hair with his fingers and opening the door. “Boss, the makeup artists are about to arrive.” George stood dutifully at the door; He frowned as he looked at the sorry state his boss was in. “No need for anyone.” Daniel shook his head tiredly “Pay them and send them off.” “Is Grandpa up yet?” Daniel turned around as an afterthought and asked. “Yes. Senior master is in the pavilion doing his morning routine.” “I will go over.” Daniel didn’t bother to freshen up. He stepped out of the room and spoke without turning back “Bring us a pot of fresh tea.” Daniel’s mind wasn’t as calm as his face; it was churning with thoughts that had no direction. They swirled around like the cyclone, leaving nothing in its path and yet no clea

  • Never to look back   If he doesn’t want me, that’s his loss.

    Daniel walked straight to the south wing where Michelle was getting ready. The house was slowly getting filled with friends and distant relatives who had come to bless the happy occasion. The south wing was the noisiest with all of Michelle’s acquaintances and friends joining in on the fun. Daniel reached the south wing but was denied access to the bride’s room. It was bad luck for the bride and groom to meet before the wedding. The bridesmaids teased and refused to give him access before one of them responded politely “Mr Holston, Michelle is in the middle of getting ready. It won’t be appropriate for you to go in now.” “SCRAM” Daniel roared without giving anyone any face; his temper was on the verge of exploding. Not only was he not in the mood for festivities but the happy vibes were like blatant taunts lashing out at him, mocking him for his stupidity and gullibility. The bridesmaids looked at each other in horror before opening a path for Daniel to enter; once Daniel passed thr

    Ron came rushing to the old house after he received George’s panicked call saying something was terribly wrong with his boss. His steps paused as he saw Daniel seated at the dining table of his apartment, eating breakfast in a relaxed manner. “What the hell is going on with you?” Ron asked as he lazily took a seat next to Daniel and started to eat breakfast without waiting for anyone to welcome or serve him. “I just sorted a whole heap of stuff.” Daniel shrugged with a faint smile. “Oh! And by the way, I won’t be needing you as my best man as the wedding’s been called off.” “What??” The knife that was spreading butter, fell out of Ron’s hand. “Wedding’s off…. There won’t be a wedding.” “Why the sudden epiphany?” “I was already in two minds as I didn’t want to let Michelle down and also didn’t want to marry her as I no longer have any feelings for her. Grandpa gave me the results of his investigation which made my decision easier.” "I cannot believe how big a fool I have been...

  • Never to look back   Round and round, back at the starting point...

    Michelle knew that her past had caught up and all her schemes had been laid bare before Daniel and there was no future for them. She could see it in his eyes when he was questioning her. She knew how vengeful Daniel was and didn't want to stay and be at the receiving end of Daniel's anger. She had seen how brutally he treated Emile whom he loved; she didn't need to be a genius to guess what her fate would be if she stayed. She took all the jewellery that Daniel had given her on various occasions and left the house while everyone was in chaos from the news. She didn’t forget to take away the property certificates that she had tricked Daniel into putting in her name. Just because she ran away in the middle of chaos, don’t underestimate Michelle’s tenacity and presence of mind. Even if she ran away in a panic, she didn’t forget to pack away all her expensive luxury items, her designer bags, dresses and shoes, in short anything of value that could be exchanged for money that she had bough

    Emile and Chris weren’t impacted by the ruckus of Daniel’s wedding, even the news of the wedding being cancelled only reached Emile’s ears after a week. “Hubby, did you know that Daniel’s wedding was cancelled?” Emile asked curiously as she sat at the dressing table, performing her night ritual of removing make-up and applying moisturiser. “Um” Chris lifted his head from the book he was reading and hooked his eyebrows with a teasing smile, “Angry that I didn’t tell you?” “Why should I be angry with my husband for unrelated people?” Emile pouted as she came over to the bed and got on her side of the bed. Chris left his book on the bedside table on his side and rolled over to hug his wife; No book was as interesting as his beautiful wife. “What’s wrong?” Chris asked as he hugged her. “I just feel sad for Michelle, even though she hurt me a lot and she was the direct reason for most of my sufferings.” Emile leaned into Chris’s embrace, settling in a comfortable posture “Such a scum

    “What wrong?” Chris asked once they got on the car on their way back home after settling all the affected kids in hospital. “Treasures, can you tell godfather what happened?” Neil ignored Chris’s question and turned to Chris Jnr and Emm. He knew Chris’s parenting methods, but he didn’t agree; his treasures had to be protected from the world of schemes. “Godfather, you don’t have to change the topic.” Chris Jnr spoke in a serious tone like a little adult; his sitting posture and mannerisms were an exact carbon copy of Chris. Neil stared at him in amazement 'how could the two who were not related by blood be so similar? Can nurturing have the same weight as being biological?’ “Godfather, I will tell you everything that happened in detail.” Chris Jnr continued in a serious tone “But you have to answer my father’s question first. Ignoring my father is disrespecting him. I cannot allow that even if you are my godfather.” “Whhhaaaa…..” Neil opened his eyes wide and pointed between father

    “Inform him to meet us at the location.” Chris knitted his brows “Ask him to bring his men along. This experience will be good for training them.” “Where?” Night Blade turned towards Neil. “Lai-Li had tracked master's location towards Mount Hushan” Neil pursed his lips “The exact location we don’t know; we will have to pick up tracking once we reach there. Lai-Li needs to be closer to the location to find the exact location.” “Let’s set tonight.” Chris got up “I will inform Emile and the kids.” Night Blade: “Boss, you don’t need to come. We will meet up with Night Mage at the foot of Mount Hushan and take it from there.” Chris frowned as he turned towards Neil for his opinion. “I think he’s right.” Neil nodded “We will let you know if we cannot manage.” “Alright then… I will leave this to you.” “What about me?” Adrian sat on the sofa with a bored look. “You both stay out” Neil smiled slyly “As always, come and get me when I am in trouble.” “Fine ….

    “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

    “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.
