Everyone walked in solemn silence towards the operation theatre after Chris’s heart to heart. No one voiced any objections as they knew that Chris’s analysis was spot on.

“Any update?” Eric asked Mark as he walked towards him.

“Still going.” Mark shook his head; he waited till Eric got close and asked in a whisper, “What happened?”

“Everything’s a mess.” Eric sighed in frustration as he sat next to Diana, hugging her in his embrace; he needed to calm his depressed heart. If roles were reversed, he knew Chris would hold the skies for him even though he was his younger brother. However, he had to confess that he didn’t have absolute confidence to refute any of Chris’s claims and could only listen to his arrangements with a heavy heart.

Mark felt his heart grow heavy as he noted that Chris nor Eric had any intention to explain. He knew this was not the time and place and yet he felt terrible. He too sighed as he thought of the imminent estrangement between brothers!

  • Never to look back   She left without even saying goodbye.

    “Emile…. Emile… my little girl….” Agatha’s sobbing voice came through even before anyone saw the owners of the rushed footsteps. Soon, the Burkes who were rushing towards the theatre as though their life depended on it, appeared in everyone’s sight. The men looked like they were ready to murder while the women were distraught, both old and young without exception. Mark and the rest of the Walter brothers wanted to stand in front of Chris like a wall and moved with this intent in mind however, they were still a step slower than Henry who was like a hungry lion, unleased from its restraint. Chris was in a world of his own, cherishing his last moments with his kids; he didn’t even register the presence of the Burkes. He raised his eyes in confusion as Henry lifted him by his collar. He didn’t even have the strength to hold the babies steady, let alone resist, not that he would have resisted even if had the strength. “Mom take the babies.” Henry growled in a low voice, noticing somethi

  • Never to look back   They deserve to wait.

    As they were scrubbing out of the theatre Chiara asked the question that was bothering her the most. “Dr Livingston, that method of treatment seemed magical and lifesaving.” Chiara pursed her lips uncomfortably before continuing “Why doesn’t your master want to share this with the world? Why does he want to keep it a secret and monopolize?” “Haaiii….” Neil sighed and shook his head helplessly “Is that how you understood?” “Master’s treatment is much more profound than what it looks on the surface. What you saw is the lifesaving aspect, but in the wrong hands, it can become a devastating disaster, one that even the heavens cannot reverse.” “The world has become much more complicated and sinister; the ancients are best forgotten.” Neil waved his hand regretfully “But master is unwilling. That is why he is still practicing, hoping that someday, the wisdom of the ancients can be used to truly benefit the world but until then he must guard it.” “Modern medicine is freely taught and pra

  • Never to look back    How can there be any deep grudges within a family?

    Addison looked at his best friend's miserable state and wanted to pacify him, but he didn't know how. He thought for a while before leaning closer to Eric and whispered with a gossipy glint in his eyes “Tell me, are you the legal guardian of the babies?” He realized that the best way was to distract his attention and what better way than to goad him? Just as Addison expected, Eric picked the bait. “When would it be my turn?” Eric’s lips curled resentfully as he muttered “How could it be any of us with my mom behaving like this?” “Is it me?” Addison feigned an exaggerated expression of excitement. “Heh! When would it be your turn?” Eric twisted his lips “You are even more unreliable than me in their books.” “Then??” Addison wanted to get to the bottom of it. He could understand why Chris didn’t choose any of the Walters. The reason he was digging was because he thought Chris had chosen First brother. “Night Wing.” Eric pursed his lips into a straight line. “He isn’t even married

  • Never to look back   I just love to have my head above my neck.

    Night Wing bought the Burkes back to Chris’s private villa outside the main residence and arranged rooms for everyone. He had contacted homebase and given instructions for setting up the villa as soon as he saw the Burkes arriving. He didn’t falter in his duties even though he was in shock; more accurately, distraught state of mind with his boss’s wilfulness. He was definitely worthy of being Chris’s right hand man. He had instructed Night Vigil to get someone to open up and tidy the unused rooms in the west wing and to transfer a few maids to the villa so that there would be no fault in Chris’s care. “Son, what is the status of the kids?” Matthias asked as soon as they reached the villa and settled down. He was holding in till now, waiting for the right moment. Now that it was just his family, he didn’t need to hold back. He knew that Night Wing wasn’t just a shadow guard to Chris and gave him his due with his attitude and treated him as any other junior. “Old master, both of them

  • Never to look back   She won’t shed tears before she sees the coffin.

    While the Burkes had calmed down and started to relax from the stress of the day, the Walter main residence was in an uproar. Hours earlier, as soon as the Walters reached home, Elizabeth could no longer hold her temper and started throwing a temper tantrum. She had been fuming all the way from when she had been disregarded by her husband and sons at the hospital till now. “What are you all rebelling like this for?” Elizabeth fumed as she stormed into the house and threw her handbag on to the tea table “What did I do to deserve such disrespect from all of you?” “Where will I put from my face if you treat me like this in front of outsiders?” Elizabeth kept ranting without giving anyone a chance to respond. “Mom, have you finished?” Mark asked in a low growl when he saw that his mother taking a sip of water. Elizabeth turned to look at Mark with a resentful gaze; This was her eldest son, the one she struggled with the most to bring him up safely, and now…. “Do you not know what you

  • Never to look back   Moves in the dark...

    Elizabeth watched in horror at the cruelty of the two woman who always had a gentle persona whenever she met them. She didn’t expect it to turn out this way. She didn’t have a high opinion of Emile, nor did she like her but that was only because she was bringing in the bastard from another man into her family, to enjoy the same benefits as her grandsons. But she had never wished for anything of this extent to befall her; she thought that they would just push her down the stairs or something like that...... without thinking how dangerous something even as simple as pushing down the stairs could be for a full-term pregnant woman. “Why is it like this?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but mutter in shock. She turned her head to look at the one person whose opinion mattered the most to her, only to see his face turn ashen with every passing minute. She hastily stood up from her seat and ran to kneel next to him “Hubby…. I….” Adam turned to look at her, his face filled with disappointment and

  • Never to look back   Her last straw...

    Sheryl waited in vain for her father who doted her most to come and redeem her. On the second day, she could no longer hold on and started clamouring that she wanted the police to call her folks to come and meet her in jail. She didn’t believe that her parents would be so heartless to ignore her once they saw her pathetic state. These days Sheryl wasn’t really pathetic as she got preferential treatment; the cops didn’t dare to overdo, not because of their overflowing justice but because they didn’t know who Sheryl was. They were not sure if touching her would bring them endless grief. She kept saying that she was the future daughter-in-law of the Walter clan. Although the Walters never stepped into the world of darkness, who could say for sure? If it really was the Walters, then wouldn’t that mean they have bought eighteen generations of bad luck into their household? There were also those who were in a rush to flatter and obtain favours. This was a rare chance to obtain favour as t

  • Never to look back   Looks like I was wrong… I needed you after all….

    Larry couldn’t harden his heart no matter how hard he tried. He rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital as soon as the phone was hung up. He could hear the conversation on the other end and knew that he wouldn’t be able to speak to Sheryl anytime soon. Sheryl’s mother was already in emergency unit by the time Larry arrived. He took over from the staff at Care Nursing Home and insisted on paying her for her trouble. It didn’t take long for the procedures to be completed and Sheryl’s mother to be admitted into ICU. Larry paid all the fees and requested services of a carer before leaving the hospital. Although he said he wouldn’t care, he couldn’t leave Sheryl alone. He got in touch with one of his lawyer friends and requested a meeting to discuss the case. They agreed to meet in the evening while the lawyer friend agreed to collect all the details. Larry kept his phone on him as he didn’t want to miss Sheryl's call in the event that she tried to reach him. He half expected her to call half

  • Never to look back   How can you ask the princess to work?

    “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

  • Never to look back   What will we do if he does something to mommy?

    “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

  • Never to look back   The Empress must be busy romancing with her Demon Emperor

    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

  • Never to look back   His grievance is no longer righteous.

    “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

  • Never to look back   Hubby…. your son bullied me….

    “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. He truly regretted his decision to bring this brat back.Chris Jnr shrugged nonchalantly, no longer inclined to complete what he said.“You are right. Why were we not invited?” Emile didn’t want the topic to die down. She wanted to see if she could pick some cues

    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
