“What should I do?” Mu Shuayong asked ignoring Night Wing’s taunt; he was going to be the bigger man, at least for the sake of his friend’s life…. However, he couldn’t guarantee that he would remain magnanimous once the danger over his friend’s life was removed.

“You don’t have to take responsibility.” Chris slowly opened his mouth “Keep this tab on my account.”

“No…. no…. that won’t do.” Zhou Yan shook his head “Like I said, I am very grateful for your help. Although this is something I should do, I can only dare to think and request help as it is beyond my capabilities. I have no intention of letting someone carrying my pot. I, Zhou Yan dared to pass the request knowing very well what the consequences would be. I dared because I knew this needed to be done, this is my cross. I, Zhou Yan am willing to bear the consequences.”

Chris didn’t speak but rather stared at Zhou Yan with a measuring gaze; a gaze that made Zhou Yan feel could penetrate the depths of his soul and yet he was helpl

  • Never to look back   I’d hate to refuse… hate to forgo a chance to wipe that smug smile off your face.

    “Like what you see?” Night Blade taunted with his arrogant smirk as stood next to Mu Shuayong, enjoying the undisguised dumbfounded expression on his face.“Are you serious?” Mu Shuayong whispered, still unable to comprehend that the legendary Night Lord would be humble enough to camp in the wilderness.Night Blade didn’t glorify the question with an answer but soon joined in with the other shadow guards to erect the two camps.Mu Shuayong and his guards joined in to assist and soon the two magnificent camps were erected; the facilities could be said to be on par with a five-star rating hotel, leading to Mu Shuayong and his men being gobsmacked once again.“Where are you going?” Mu Shuayong seemed to be following Night Blade in wonder like a three old exploring a new world. It had been a lifetime since he had lived such a lifestyle.“To put some food on the table.” Night Blade shrugged as he led his men. Mu Shuayong followed like his little tail regardless of whether he was welcomed or

  • Never to look back   Is he even human?

    Mu Shuayong accepted defeat graciously by bowing according to his etiquette and shaking hands, respecting his opponent’s etiquette; his eyes filled with stars as he looked at the man in front of him. His voice was filled with respect as he spoke “That was well played… worthy of being the Night Lord’s man.”“Not that good…” The shadow guard however wasn’t too pleased, he spoke in a low depressed voice “I have a long way to go. Our commander would have ended the match in a minute.”Mu Shuayong looked at the man with an incredulous expression; the man wasn’t boasting nor being modest about his skills, he was genuinely depressed. He didn’t have the happiness he had when he accepted the challenge.Mu Shuayong turned to look at Night Blade, dreading to see the hatefully gloating expression but he didn’t see the expected reaction instead, he was seriously discussing something with the Night Lord; their relaxed aura spoke volumes. It told Mu Shuayong that the result was not unexpected to eithe

    “Are we returning….” Mu Shuayong paused as he scrunched up with his face “like now???? Can we not return tomorrow?” He had not learned a thing from Night Blade even though he followed him like his shadow. The explanation he got when he asked his confidante (the shadow guard who competed against him) was that they were on a holiday; they rarely got to slack off and that too with their Lord’s permission, they would be crazy not to cash in.“You don’t have to follow me…” Zhou Yan laughed good naturedly as he saw the childish resentment on Mu Shuayong’s face “You are a free man, to do as you please…. You don’t have to….” Zhou Yan didn’t get to complete as he was interrupted by Mu Shuayong.“I have to…. Otherwise, those vultures won’t even spare your bones.” Mu Shuayong interrupted with a resentful tone before turning to look at Night Blade with a flattering look.“Aaaaiisssshhhh!!!” Night Blade shrugged in distaste as he ran to hide behind Night Wing “Don’t look at me like that….

  • Never to look back   I have failed as a godfather, haven’t I?

    There was no word called procrastination in the Night Lord’s dictionary and hence his men did not know about the existence of such a thing. Once it was decided that they were setting off, they were packed up and air bound in no time.They smoothly dropped off Zhou Yan in his private air space near his ancestral home where his wife and children resided and picked their men before continuing on with their return without wasting any time on pleasantries even though both Zhou Yan and Mu Shuayong invited them passionately.Once there were no outsiders, Chris’s men relaxed their vigilance and began acting sloppy with Night Wing taking the lead in displaying the biggest difference in aura.Chris’s lips curled up in amusement as he watched Night Wing behave like a jittery teenager, sitting on pins and needles, hesitating whether to ask or not, what was bothering him. Chris didn’t have any intention of relieving him of his anxiety and watched with a sly smile hidden under his indifferent aura.

  • Never to look back   I have a capable husband…. what can you do?

    After the morning hubbub, everyone retreated to their rooms as was the norm in the manor, the only difference was, Chris Jnr who would usually sit in the hall playing video games was sent to reflect on his own, in his room.Emile loosened her calm façade once she was in her room and paced anxiously in her room. She didn’t know what her husband was doing right now, nor did she know why he hadn’t come for her in such a long time. Just as this thought hit her, another memory surfaced; it was her meeting with Chris on the beach.She sat on the bed with a mortified expression as she recalled her exact words to Chris. She felt like crying …. How could she have said those heartless words to her husband? She started pacing once again as she thought of how useless she was! What would she do if her husband didn’t come back for her? What would she do if he took her words seriously?‘No… no…. I must think of a way to contact Chris and let him know that I didn’t mean it.’ She paused pacing as she l

  • Never to look back   Little boss, do you not love Uncle Night Vigil anymore?

    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.“

  • 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 betray

    “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

  • 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 Mr 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 Mossel Bay, there were no details of 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.”George: “Boss, shall I ask around?”“N

    Daniel arrived in Mossel Bay with Emile and Chris Jnr after midnight and was surprised to see that despite being a small airport with the least traffic, they were functioning effectively in an orderly manner without the slightest panic or error; their flight was probably the last or one of the last to land.It didn’t take them long to clear customs and immigration; Daniel and George went over to get the luggage while Emile and Chris Jnr waited in a quiet corner.“What mischief are you up to this time?” Emile pinched Chris Jnr’s ears gently as she questioned, once she noted that Daniel had walked away, away from their range of activity.“No…. nothing…” Chris Jnr stuttered with a pink face as he tried to free himself from the empress’s claws.“Hymph” Emile hmphed unhappily as she turned away; Out the corner of her eyes, she saw Daniel was coming back.“What did you do to upset your mommy?” Daniel questioned him as soon as he came in front of them. He had seen Emile pinching Chris Jnr’s

    Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil

    Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co

    “What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar

    “Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas

    Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa…. Hai…” Master sighed, shaking his head resent

    Chris arrived by Emile’s side as soon as he received his son’s message, giving her a pleasant surprise. Emile was reading a book on her bed when Chris arrived.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’Emile lifted her head to look in the direction she heard the knock in puzzlement; Who would knock on the balcony door?’Her face brightened with the sweetest smile as she saw the man she missed with all her being even though he had only left a few hours earlier, appearing in front of her. She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu

    Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the
