Mark called for the waiters to bring breakfast over once everyone moved on from the sensitive topic of discussion. The staff arrived promptly and started serving a sumptuous breakfast. Everyone including Darcy started eating without waiting for Eva and Amanda to get back; It would be more apt to say that no one missed them.

“How long are you staying?” Christopher asked once breakfast was out of the way.

“If you are getting married within the week. We will stay back.” Elizabeth had a naughty smile on her face before it faded and she pouted with a sad expression “If not, we will leave in the afternoon.”

Christopher rolled his eyes at his mom’s pathetic acting, but the truth was gullible Emile fell for it.

“Auntie why don’t you stay back for at least a day or two?” Emile tried to persuade “Won’t it be tiring to travel without resting?”

Elizabeth pursed her lips with a feigned difficult expression.

“I need to talk to my folks… I cannot get married without their blessing this time; I have

  • Never to look back   We are officially together.

    “What so funny?” Emile and Christopher walked in as Abbey was laughing her head off.“Boss” Night Wing stood up with a curious expression.“Mom and Dad are here with the rest.” How could Chrsitopher not know what Night Wing wanted to ask.“What?” Abbey’s mouth was open wide, enough to fit a golf ball. She turned to look at Emile anxiously but relaxed after seeing her carefree attitude. “How was it?”“They are very nice.” Emile smiled.“So???????” Abbey dragged the syllable by raising her eyebrows in a taunting manner.“We are officially together.” Emile smiled happily as she held Christopher’s hand contrary to his expectation. Christopher thought that Emile would be shy and was ready to make the announcement, but he didn’t get the chance. Emile stole his thunder…... Even so, his face lit up like a 1000-watt bulb.“Wow!!” Abbey cheered as she jumped up and hugged Emile. She was so happy…. Happy that Emile could have her happily ever after.“What next?” Abbey asked after their emotions

    The gynecologist, Dr Chesterfield, was an experienced lady in her early sixties. She patiently explained all the test results followed by all the dos and don’ts. Christopher listened studiously; He recorded what the doctor said on his phone.He even double and triple checked with the doctor about the food she could eat, the things she could and couldn’t do. Dr Chesterfield also didn’t show any impatience and patiently explained no matter how many times Christopher asked.“Stop asking.” Emile tugged Christopher’s hands in embarrassment.“It’s fine.” Dr Chesterfield laughed good naturedly “This is how a responsible husband should be.”“Doctor, I forgot to ask, how many months?” Emile asked shyly.“You don’t know?” Dr Chesterfield’s eyes widened in surprise.Both Christopher and Emile shook their heads wh: Emile mumbled softly “I didn’t even know I was pregnant till 2 days ago.”“That’s truly rare.” Dr Chesterfield continued seeing the couple's confused gaze “Usually people show signs

  • Never to look back   Will you be mine in this lifetime and the next one that follows?

    Christopher woke Emile while Night Wing was responsible for getting Abbey to the door.“Baby, let’s go for our last activity for this holiday.” Christopher stood at the door with a doting smile as he looked at the sleepy woman who was pouting in dissatisfaction although his heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation.“Is it even morning?” Emile asked as she rubbed her eyes.“Soon…. Let’s hurry. Abbey is waiting at the front entrance.” Christopher lied without blushing.Night Wing didn’t have Christopher’s patience. He knocked on the door and walked in without waiting to be invited in and sat down impolitely “Hurry up or we will go without you.”“You dare?” Abbey growled before rushing into her room to change without thinking. In her defense, she wasn’t fully awake; otherwise, she would have retorted “who wants you to wait. I will go with Emile.”Soon they were all seated in the complimentary ride from Celestial tours and heading towards the airport. Although both the ladies were cu

  • Never to look back   Am I dreaming?

    The smile on Emile’s face lingered even after they reached back at the hotel. She sat in a daze as she watched Christopher busy himself with packing both his and her stuff while Night Wing went to complete the checkout procedures. Abbey didn’t have anything to do as she had already packed the day before, so she brought all her luggage and sat with Emile on the sofa showing off all the pictures she had taken in the morning. Emile however wasn’t paying any attention; she was still sitting with a silly smile following Christopher with her gaze. “Am I dreaming?” Emile whispered in a low voice to Christopher once they got in the car. Both of them were sitting in the back seat while Abbey was sitting in the passenger seat. “Does it hurt?” She asked as she pinched Christopher without waiting for him to respond to her previous question. “Um” Christopher nodded with a doting smile as he looked at the silly expression. “Does that mean we are really engaged?” Emile kept smiling. “Um… too la

  • Never to look back   Unless you say it, no one will know.

    Everyone sat huddled cosily in the lounge area discussing their plans after the ruckus quietened down. Abbey didn’t feel out of place at all, even though she was sitting in the background without making any contributions; the Walters made sure of that.Adam and Elizabeth wanted to get back immediately considering Lan’s condition was severe and so after discussing for more than an hour they decided that all the family members other than Christopher and group would head back tomorrow. They decided to go on a tour of their winery after lunch in order to spend some quality time with everyone.While everyone was discussing what their travel plans downstairs, upstairs-“What do you think you are doing?” Eva spoke sharply as soon as they entered the room and closed the door; the charming affectionate smile that she had plastered on, was nowhere to be seen.“Auntie… I…” Mandy lowered her head. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect her aunt to question her harshly; she expected her au

  • Never to look back   You have been warned.

    After lunch, the butler announced that the hostess for their winery tour would arrive in an hour and a half. Everyone dispersed to their rooms for getting ready. Christopher led Emile and Abbey to his private apartment within the manor. The Manor had into seven private apartments, one for each member and guest apartments to hosting events. Each private apartment had five bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and dining area complete with a private garden. “I will go with Chris, since we are of the same age group. It will be more fun for everyone.” Amanda stood up to follow Christopher. “I have told you several times to call me Christopher.” Christopher’s steps paused as he turned around to face Amanda “Also, we are not of the same age group and it is not convenient for me and my fiancée.” “Hymph” Amanda pouted as she pointed at Abbey “Well, isn’t she coming.” “She is my guest… I decide where she stays.” Christopher pursed his lips in displeasure before turning to Darcy “Second brother, would y

  • Never to look back   You are mine; Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    “Your man?” A cold voice sounded.Amanda didn’t have to turn to see who the owner of the voice was. She shivered inwardly but didn’t cower. She bit her lips and looked pitifully at Christopher.Christopher hugged Emile comfortingly and spoke in a gentle voice “Baby, are you okay?” He looked at her in concern noting that she didn’t register his presence.Emile didn’t register Christopher’s words nor his presence; Amanda’s words echoed in her heard, everything else was a blur. She couldn’t stop herself from wallowing in self-doubt. She wondered if she made the same mistake again.As her thoughts were starting to spiral out of control, she heard Christopher’s gentle voice and felt his warm embrace….but that wasn’t right… he was in the study dealing with pending work commitments. She raised her eyes that were filled with confusion to stare into a passionate gaze “Huh?”“Baby, I am here.” He comforted gently massaging her back till he saw colour returning to her face.“I am fine.” Emile ra

    Christopher raised his eyebrows in an enquiring manner as he saw the frown on Emile’s face as they sat down.“Nothing.” Emile shrugged “I just felt sorry for Amanda. I felt like I was looking at my past self.”“You are nothing like her.” Christopher retorted before adding with feigned anger “Do not insult my fiancée by comparing her with that person.”“Puchi….” Emile giggled.“Seriously though…although I felt sad for her when you blasted her because this was exactly the same for me in the past; I have to admit, it felt really good.” She raised her head to look at Christopher with a curious gaze “Am I wicked?”“First, the two of you are not same.” Christopher reiterated “You were the victim of Michelle’s carefully laid out machinations. However, that stupid female is like a bad smell that refuses to go away.”“Secondly, I don’t think it is wicked.” Christopher held her hand “I love you no matter what you do.” Emile smiled blissfully as she leaned into his embrace.“Will you get into tr

  • 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

    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

    “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 cue

  • Never to look back   Is your father getting married?

    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 betra

    The stalemate between mother and son didn’t last long… as fate intervened in the form of entertainment gossip. On screen was a video of Chris entering the shopping mall with a female while the anchor in the background was excitedly raving about the upcoming nuptials that the whole country was looking forward to.Emile’s heart stopped beating for a minute as she turned her head to look at Chris Jnr with a shell-shocked expression “Is he getting married?”“Why wouldn’t he?” Chris Jnr smirked but before he could pacify his mommy as he saw the color on her face draining, he heard the door to Daniel’s study opening; he turned his head back to the idiot box and watched with an indifferent expression.Emile wanted to ask further but she was thrown back by Chris Jnr’s sudden change in aura. However, even before she could voice her confusion, she heard Daniel’s footsteps nearing the top of the staircase. She now understood what happened to her son and quickly tidied up her expression as well.
