Grace’s curiosity was left unsatisfied as not only couldn’t she see anything from her window, but there was also not even a sound to calm her curiosity. The sound of the car entering the estate seemed to have been a figment of her imagination. Grace sighed wondering if she really imagined the sound of the car as she drew the curtains back and went back to her work.

Grace couldn’t be blamed as once the car entered the gates, the view to the winding path down to the front door was obscured by the ornamental pear trees that were lining the path. Neither were there any disturbances at the front door. How could poor Grace know that Danos was waiting at the front door awaiting the arrival of the car that had just entered the estate?

It had become routine for them after 3 months; Chris would arrive like clockwork. Everyone silently dispersed to their rooms to catch up on what sleep they could catch up on before the world was lit up again.

Chris moved swiftly and quietly as he entered the r

  • Never to look back   My wife is right.

    Chris had no idea when he fell asleep amidst his messy thoughts. But regardless of when he slept, waking up along with the first rays of sun had been a habit that was hard to shake off. Although he had woken up long ago, he didn’t feel like leaving the comfort of snuggling with his beloved wife. Emile woke up with a happy smile “Good morning, Hubby.” “Good morning, Love” Chris gave her a quick peck on her lips as he helped her up. “Are these tiny tots behaving?” Chris leaned forward and put his head next to her tummy. “Um” Emile smiled blissfully looking at the man whose whole world revolved around her. Whether it was agreeing with her saying they were well-behaved or whether it was in disdain towards their father’s question, the tiny tots kicked happily. Raphael was waiting for them when they came downstairs for breakfast. Grace knew that Emile wanted to give Chris a surprise and after hearing from Anne that Chris had come over at night, she didn’t come down for breakfast; Instea

  • Never to look back   Everyone had secrets....

    The three of them spent all morning getting to know each other all over again. It was only when Dolly came to urge them to eat lunch that they realized that the whole morning had passed. Lunch was eaten quietly with respect to the rules of Dupont estate. What no one realized was that Raphael didn’t really have any rules… it was just that he was alone almost all his life and there was no one to talk to at the dining table. The only people who would talk was the butler or various managers who came around to discuss business. He didn’t want to talk about work during lunch and wanted some peace of mind while eating and would often reprimand them for being noisy during mealtimes. Over time, silence during meals became one of the rules of Dupont estate. After lunch, the three of them went back to the garden parlor to continue discussing what to do next. “Grace, what do you think of delaying your reunion for another week and a half?” Chris asked with a half guilty face. “Let me guess…” G

  • Never to look back   Happy wife equals Happy life

    The weekend passed with the excitement of finding Grace and sweetness of husband-and-wife meeting after being separated for 2 weeks. What Raphael was worried about didn’t come to fruition and finally it was time for Chris to head back. Originally Chris and Emile had planned to fly to Burke residence first and then fly back to Walter home but since they found Grace, they decided to fly straight back. Plans change…. just like life, People who are flexible don’t have to be worried about being prepared because they are conditioned to be prepared. Chris and Emile discussed with Raphael the next steps and what was required once Emile completed the last design. Despite Emile’s strong objections, they decided that Chris would come over next week to take them home. “Son, I am sorry.” Raphael finally opened his mouth after the ladies went upstairs. Grace went upstairs as she called it a day and Emile went upstairs to pack Chris’s stuff as he had to leave in another hour. “Huh?” Chris looked

  • Never to look back   Hope at the end of the tunnel

    “But none of this is the reason I came running without propriety.” Sofia had an extremely excited expression. “Um???” Chris lifted his eyebrows. “Boss, the systems have become electronic only since the last 10 years.” Sofia felt it was necessary to give an introduction instead of heading straight for the kill “All the records post that were scanned into the system when the hospital systems became fully electronic.” “Hence the visitor logs, hospital forms or any paperwork completed, regardless of purpose were all scanned into the system.” “Since Night Wing told me about Boss’s conjuncture, I have been diligently reviewing all hospital records and I am glad I did it.” “One of the entries, at the gynecology department although the name is different, the handwriting looked like it was of the same hand as that of the name ‘Val Samm’.” “Are you sure?” Chris sat up in excitement. “I am not a handwriting expert, but it looks like the same hand and hence came to report to see if …….” Sof

    “How’s I12 progressing Eva?” Chris asked once everyone left the room. “Beautifully...” Darcy chuckled “I can’t wait to see the bitch’s face when everything unveils.” Darcy: “What’s your plan? How long are you going to keep this on for?” “Not yet…. The higher you fly, the greater the fall.” Chris narrowed his eyes, his lips curled sinisterly “Doesn’t she like to have kids??? Won’t it be disappointing if we don’t give her that opportunity?” “More importantly, I need to have all the evidence… an iron clad case against fraud and identity theft.” Chris tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest. “Don’t we have Thomas?” Darcy asked in confusion “Thomas said that he is confident to win the case with his eyes closed with what we have so far…” “No” Chris shook his head “Not eldest brother-in-law. We will be winning the case with a junior intern from eldest brother-in-law’s firm. It will be a case won not by brilliance of the lawyer…. but by the sheer volume of indisputable evidence.”

  • Never to look back   Goodbyes....

    The rest of the week passed in a flurry of activity. Everyone was swept off their feet; running their personal businesses, pretending that there was nothing out of the normal with their better halves and running errands that had self-assigned after volunteering to help Chris with his investigation. Firstly, Lorenzo executed both the tasks he was delegated to perfection. He didn’t have any trouble sneaking in and out of the hospital with archived data of everything related to the hospital, whether it was surveillance footage, finance or confidential information related to hospital records or clinical trials that were run by the hospital. Sofia had done the legwork making his work effortless. She had provided them with not just access cards but also habits and behaviors of the staff whose access cards they were using. This was especially useful as they could sneak in and out without having to sabotage anyone. Of course, this wasn’t industrial espionage, and they weren’t going to sell o

  • Never to look back   Shock and regret....

    Chris drove all the way to his home base without stopping; Both Emile and Grace were comfortable in the caravan and slept comfortably on the bed while Chris rested on the sofa. Once they reached their home base, Chris didn’t disturb either Emile or Grace and rested along with them in the caravan while he let both Night Rider and the rest head upstairs for a power nap before driving out to the airport. It wouldn’t have made a difference to their plan to give Darcy a surprise birthday gift even if Emile and Grace went upstairs to rest since Darcy was away with Marcus on his long-awaited ski trip…. well not really long … but to a father who missed 20 years of his son’s life, even a second is a long time… Even so, Chris didn’t wake them and cramped on the sofa. The reason was not hard to guess…. He didn’t want to interrupt his beloved wife’s sweet sleep. Grace was just basking in the shade of Emile’s pampered treatment. Chris waited for the two to wake up naturally; Of course, Grace wok

  • Never to look back   I will give him a chance but if he doesn't cherish it, then it's all his fault.

    Emile shook her head helplessly. She couldn’t blame Grace; She had to admit that she too was quite shaken when she saw the scene before her, even though she knew the story. She couldn’t imagine what was going through Grace’s head. Chris face palmed inwardly ‘How could he forget that this was Eva’s favorite coffee shop?’ The others just looked on like blind men watching the show as they couldn’t understand heads or tails. Emile decided not to have coffee anymore and followed Grace. Once Emile walked off, Chris couldn’t care less about the authenticity of the play they were directing and hurriedly ran after his wife. Night Wing calmly went to the counter and ordered coffee and light snacks for everyone. He requested the waiter to deliver the food to their car and followed the rest of the group back to the car. Grace didn’t talk to anyone for the rest of the trip. Emile wanted to pacify her many times, but she had a ‘do not approach’ sign board on her face. Grace wasn’t intentionall

    “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

    “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. 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.

    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
