“Get your Boss deranged with such childish pranks? Che!” Adrian sneered “Are you giving them more credit than they are worth?”“That’s because you have overlooked the fact that it is Madam that is involved.” Night Wing shook his head helplessly as he stuck to his theory “Boss's IQ seems to drop every time something happens around Madam.”“If daddy is tired holding up the skies, I will help him hold it till he recovers.” A childish voice in a serious tone came from the door. No one in the room had to turn around to know who the owner of the childish voice was. Chris Jnr walked in holding his sister’s hand with an extremely serious look that didn’t match his voice nor his age.Henry coughed to hide his loss of composure while Simon and Timothy let out stifled laughs as they followed the little man into the room; the rest of the Burkes followed behind.“Daddy’s little man is here.” Chris chuckled as he extended his hand to carry them as he normally did. Little treasure was about to run to

Adam and rest knocked on the door and entered as they heard the childish voice inviting them in; the adults’ heart was smaller than a needle and pursed their lips pettily.Adam pushed open the door and entered but his steps paused as he saw a room full of people. He only expected Neil and the kids to be here.“Come… come… family…” Matthias stood up and invited as he moved the chair he was sitting on for Adam.“No…no…no… sit…sit… we will take seats over there.” Adam politely returned the seat as he walked forward towards Chris’s bed. He sighed in relief as he saw both Chris and Emile had woken up.“How are you feeling?” Adam asked, the guilt in his voice couldn’t be hidden.“Dad, I am fine.” Chris blinked, pacifying Adam while Chris Jnr stood up from his seat and pulled Adam to sit “Grandpa, you sit here and chat. I will get seats for eldest uncle and the rest.”Neil rubbed his nose in embarrassment as he stood up along with Adrian to get seats for everyone from the nearby nurse’s stati

“Son….” Adam called out his head lowered in guilt once the Burkes left, and he no longer needed to keep face “I have failed you and Emile and made the little ones suffer as well.”“Dad, I don’t blame you although I will not forgive mom.” Chris pursed his lips; he knew his dad was stuck between a rock and a hard place and didn’t want to make it any harder than it was. His thoughts were exactly the same as what his son said earlier ‘every debt had a debtor’.“Neither can I… no matter how hard it is…” Adam spoke in a low defeated voice “Your mother and I have decided separate.”“What???” Chris’s eyes widened; he didn’t expect this… what he didn’t want was his father to play the mediator for him to forgive his mother. Chris opened his mouth once the news sank in “Dad…I…”“This has nothing to do with you.” Adam interrupted shaking his head “If anything you are the victim. Perhaps it is all my fault…. Things wouldn’t have gotten to this stage if….”“Dad, no use mulling over split milk. There

“Now that, that is all out of the way…” Mark paused as he narrowed his eyes towards Chris who shrunk his head slightly as he knew what his big brother was going to ask, while the rest looked curiously.“I am more interested to know what you wanted Henry to do.” Mark raised his eyebrows challenging, daring Chris to lie.“Didn’t Harry say….” Chris asked weakly.“Do I look as easy to fool as Eldest uncle Burke?” Mark retorted before fixing his gaze on Chris.“Big brother, can I take a raincheck on answering that….”“Try again”“Emile wanted…”“Try again” Mark interrupted impatiently before throwing a side glance at Eric.“Don’t look at me… I am thoroughly and utterly innocent this time.” Eric raised his hands in innocence.“Big brother, I asked them to keep an eye on the old house and check out a few things.” Chris could only confess partly helplessly.“Why? What have they done now?”“Nothing new….” Chris shrugged “But I haven’t settled old scores, and you know my slate is always balanced

“Big brother, are we really going to wait till Chris is ready to tell us?” Lorenzo asked on the way back, his face twisted uncomfortably, “What if he needs us and we aren’t there?”“My little brother has grown…” Mark smiled, the smile carried both loss and pride but not a hint of malice could be seen anywhere on his face or soul. “He will ask when he needs us.”“Us, staying out of the way is the best help we can give.” Angel spoke in a soft voice “I have a feeling the storm is coming.”“Dad, you are sure…. Like heaven and earth sure that you haven’t made a mistake?” Eric asked with a sheepish smile. This was the only thought in his head, from the moment this question was raised by Chris, from the moment he asked Adam if he had ever made a mistake. None of the rest bothered him; his trust in Chris was absolute. He knew his little brother wouldn’t keep anything from him unless it was absolutely necessary.“Son, are you itching for a thrashing?” Adam gritted his teeth before turning to Ma

Chris started to make his move once he was discharged from hospital. He got Jonas to purchase all the shares from the small fries which amounted to 10%. Thinking about the 5% shares that got transferred to military, Chris called Henry as he wasn’t sure how things worked up there.“Hello” Henry answered within a few rings.Chris: “I have a question”Henry: “Shoot.”Chris: “Is it possible to buy private shares that were donated to the military back??”Henry: “Yeah… same as anywhere else. The price has to be right. Are you thinking what I think you are thinking?”Chris: “Um”Henry: “Do you want me to scout for information?”Chris: “I don’t want to impose.”“It’s no trouble. You are family.” Henry laughed as he added “Harry can find this information in no time.”Chris: “Then I will be trouble first brother.”Harry got back to Chris the next day saying that the military was more than happy to get rid of those shares as it had long stopped being profitable and all it meant was more paperwork

Raphael’s phone rang once again but this time it wasn’t the tiny tots.“Hello” Raphael picked up with a smile in his voice. Bridgette raised her eyebrows once again looking at Raphael’s expression. Raphael put the phone on speaker in response.“Grand maternal uncle, it’s Chris.”“I know.” Raphael chuckled “I have just received a petition to submit before you.”“Denied” Chris didn’t have to think where or what the petition was about; he knew his little imps were up to no good.“Hear me out at least.” Raphael chuckled shamelessly.“Alright, but the answer at the end is still the same.” Chris nodded without realizing that they couldn’t see each other.“How’s grandma doing?” Chris didn’t wait for Raphael to repeat the request and changed topic.“She’s getting better.” Raphael updated Chris “Her memories are clearing up as well although some things are still foggy.”“We are making progress.” Chris could hear the disappointment in Raphael’s voice and tried to cheer him up.“I am guessing my

Adam found it too depressing to stay at the old house and called Chris asking him if it was possible to move the plans ahead of time. The old house was full of memories, and he needed a change; the relaxed aura was just to put the kids at ease, his heart was always in turmoil.Chris didn’t even ask for a reason, he didn’t need to, he knew. He called Neil and asked him to liaise with Master before organizing the trip for his father. Adam set off three days later without any noise or fanfare. For those who enquired about Adam later, they were all told that he had gone to a health retreat for relaxation treatments. However, the rumour mill wasn’t kind.All kinds of rumours were spun and spread faster than the wind; some told that Adam had some incurable disease and was undergoing palliative care whereas others told that he had been contracted some strange illness and couldn’t interact with the outside world as he had been placed under house arrest. No matter how ridiculous the rumours we

Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnr’s arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.“Thank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.” Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didn’t even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.“It was our pleasure.” Several associates including Ron hurriedly joined

Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasn’t planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each other’s thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didn’t need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasn’t planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relatives

Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emile’s favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chris’s arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parents’ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind with

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldn’t be changed to another date.“Where’s Christian?” Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didn’t notice that Christian wasn’t with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t get a chance till now.“He went off with the Walters.” Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.“That bastard…” Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.“What’s wrong?” Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.“Nothing ….” Daniel shrugged be

“Senior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.” One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adam’s side.“Um…” Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him “Lead the way.” Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasure’s hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabeth’s care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didn’t expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasure’s subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;

The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.“Wow! That was so magical.” One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a man’s undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.A

“Mommy, you better take care of your man from here on…there's only so much a little girl can do…” Emm’s bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on “It was hard work, but we got him here for you.”Everyone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.“Uff….uff…” Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyone’s attention before he continued “As you have witnessed, our daddy’s journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommy’s blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and love….”The laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didn’t have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.“or whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
Never to look back You could never do what he did…
“You could never do what he did…”“What did you say?” Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didn’t want to believe it. He didn’t want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didn’t why would she say that?“How can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.” Emile giggled as she turned around to face him.Daniel stared at her face for a long time trying to make sense, trying to discern if what she said was purely based on the wedding arrangement or whether there was a hidden meaning in them. But before he could process this line of thought, the ceremonial bells rang leading everyone to take a closer look at the hot-air ballon in the center. Although it was one that could hold 35 people, there were currently only about 25 people including the celebrant and his assistant.“That is actually a priest not a celebrant.” One of the guests in Daniel’s basket, who h
Never to look back We will set everything right after this wedding.
Almost all the guests in the hotel woke up in the wee hours of the morning as they had all arrived to participate in the youngest Walter’s wedding. All of them without exception were filled with excitement regardless of the reason for their excitement.No one knew the exact location of the venue, as other than the name, Church in the Sky, Mossel Bay, there were no details of how to get to the venue. All they knew or were told when they asked for location details was that transportation for them to be taken to the venue was arranged for everyone attending the wedding.Cars were lined up one behind the other, at the hotel entrance, picking up the guests as they arrived at the entrance and heading for the venue. Daniel, Emile and Christian lined up at the back of the line as they arrived.“What are you looking for?” Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.“Grandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.” Daniel shrugged “He could come in the same car as us.
