Never to look back I haven’t had so much excitement since the day I was born.
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
Never to look back Did the face smacking feel good?
“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
Never to look back After touching his wife, what do you expect, other than a one-sided trashing?
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
Never to look back A man who will love me and my kids knowing that I will never give him kids of his own.”
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
