Daniel’s lips curled up coming down the stairs, as he saw the little woman in the kitchen, humming to herself as she busied herself in the kitchen. He knew what he was seeing now was just an illusion in his heart, but he was still happy. He firmly believed that as long as he held onto the illusion long enough, it would become their reality, knowing the love she had for him.“Have you finished your work?” Emile smiled as she raised her head to look at Daniel who entered the kitchen.“Um”“Go, take a seat in the lounge. Lunch will be ready soon.” Emile turned her head to look at the maid who was sneakily standing by the side once she finished instructing Daniel. She frowned inwardly as she looked at the maid for a second longer before turning gaze away without leaving a trace.What made her frown was, because out of the corner of her eye, she saw the seemingly innocent maid putting some sort of powder into the soup pot as she was distracted by Daniel’s presence. Her lips curled up in a d
Carl drove straight from Daniel’s house to the hotel close to the safe holding building that Lenin had asked him to deliver the payment card that he received from Daniel. He guessed that Lenin was probably waiting for this money to start over as well, but he didn’t care. What he wanted was his life back.This time, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to deliver it straightforwardly. He would handover with his right hand and take what he wanted with his left; from this point on, they wouldn’t owe each other anything.As he drove, he toyed in his head over the matter of the additional card that Daniel had given him. Although he didn’t know the exact number of how much was inside there, he knew that it was a considerable amount. He decided not to keep the card and hand it over to Lenin after thinking back and forth; he didn’t want this blood money for his new beginning. He wanted to start anew, without a trace of the past.He drove without taking any major breaks for 18 hours straight to reach
The man from the shadows searched frantically for Carl; he turned the whole hotel upside and even questioned his men who were stationed outside and yet there was no clue. He hacked into the surveillance network of the hotel and the surrounding traffic surveillance, only to be return empty handed. It seemed like Dr Burkhart had vanished into thin air.Night Blade watched the man’s actions from the shadows with a disdainful smirk ‘Did he think he was smart enough to catch the tail of the Night Lord’s men?’ He watched the man spinning on the spot like a clueless monkey, taking pleasure in misery till there was nothing left to watch before heading back to report to his Lord. He left behind one of his best men to monitor Lenin before leaving.Lenin blasted the man off the face of earth when he heard that they had not only lost Carl but also didn’t have a clue as to where he disappeared to.Lenin picked up the internal communicator and roared “Don’t bother me even if the building collapses.”
Chris carried his treasures to the dining table for lunch with a bounce in his step; he was finally going to be reunited with his wife, their family was going to be reunited. Even though it had only been a few days, Chris felt like eternity had passed since he had been separated from Emile; every second that they were separated was like a century, moving at a speed slower than that of a snail, torturing his soul and sanity.Night Wing and the rest of the shadow guards watched their lord who had regained his vitality with happiness in their eyes. Adding on the chirpiness of the two treasures, the tense and gloomy aura from the previous days changed into a festive one, bringing a smile to faces of everyone in the mansion, lord and servant alike.“Daddy, did you find mommy?” Emm asked as she ate the food that Chris had loving picked out for her.“Silly, why would daddy say that we are going to bring mommy home if he didn’t find her?” Chris Jnr chided his little sister like a little adult.
Emile raised her head as she heard a familiar voice ahead of her even though she didn’t quite hear what was said. She smiled sweetly as she saw an old friend from her university days and greeted warmly, “Hello Christopher.”“Fancy seeing you here…” Emile smiled as she spoke excitedly; she hadn’t seen him in more than 10 years. “What are you doing these days?”Christopher’s steps paused; his entire being, including his expression froze before he mustered the courage to speak. He didn’t register what she said afterwards. His thoughts were stuck at the address 'Christopher'. She hadn’t called him Christopher in the last seven years.Night Wing was also shocked but not because of the way she addressed Chris but because of what she asked next. He couldn’t make heads or tails of the conversation.Chris Jnr and Emm who were a few feet away, hiding in the shadows with Night Rider and Night Blade too frowned as they heard the conversation. Having been trained by their father since the age of th
Emile stood watching Chris’s disappearing back; she couldn’t explain why but the lonely back that was etched in despair made her heart ache uncontrollably. She didn’t know how but she knew that the reason he walked away without hesitation was to not make things difficult for her….how she knew… she couldn’t tell… Subconsciously, she raised her hand and pressed it against her chest as she felt the uncontrollable pain.“What’s wrong?” No one knew when Daniel arrived behind her. He knitted his brows as he followed her line of gaze; although there was an endless sea of people, there was no one, not even a trace of anyone he should be concerned about.“Don’t know why….” Emile spoke strenuously as she clutched her chests “I don’t feel well.”“Should we head to the hospital?” Daniel asked anxiously; he changed his question as he noted her shaking her head “Or should I call the doctor to meet us home?” “No need. I just want to go back and lie down.” Emile rejected flatly. She didn’t want to se
“Daddy, let’s head back home.” Chris Jnr spoke after much deliberation as they were resting in the lounge after dinner, looking at his daddy who was sitting listlessly staring into space, as though he had lost his soul.“Grandpa and maternal great grandpa will be worried.” He tried to come up with a reasonable explanation.“Um” Chris nodded as he slowly came out of his thoughts. He couldn’t sit wallowing in sadness. He had his treasures to look after; What would happen to them if he lost himself like this? What sort of example was he, setting for them?“Boss???” Night Wing was the only one who dared to make a sound; he knew his boss didn’t want to leave.“Pack up. We will leave in the morning.” Chris stood up carrying his treasures in either arm; he walked towards the bedroom once he spat out the order.The next morning, before the world around them was fully awake, Chris and his men left the peaceful south coast, heading towards home, the ancestral home of the Walters. Chris had his
“Daniel…. Daniel…. Come quickly….. big news…. Hurry…..” Emile called out excitedly as she looked in the direction of the study; She never expected to see such huge news as soon as she turned on the television.“What’s going on?” Daniel asked with an innocent expression as he came down the stairs with unhurried steps; his lips curled up victoriously in a corner that was not visible to Emile.“Daniel, Christopher Walter is getting married.” Emile eyes were wide open in excitement; she beckoned him to hurry and pointed back at the screen, “Is the lady anyone we know from university?”“Is he getting married?” Daniel asked with a cynical smile “Wasn’t he always coveting my wife? I thought he would never marry …. Such a hypocrite…” Daniel sneered as though he felt the insult was not enough “It didn’t take him long to forget you… did it?”“Wife, only I am sincere to you. We are married and I will only love you for the rest of our lives.” Daniel sat next to Emile as he tried to take credit.“
