“Wife, I truly didn’t know you were alive or where you were?” Rufus spoke with a heartbroken expression without giving Bridgette a chance to speak. He stood up as he walked slowly towards Bridgette fiddling the bloodstone ring on his finger on the sly.“I have looked everywhere for you for months together after your brother abducted you… I swear.” He raised his hand to the heavens as he spoke.“You are truly shameless.” Bridgette shook her head with a disgusted smile; she turned her head to look away.“Wife, let’s not make a scene in front of outsiders.” Rufus reached out his hand and turned her face towards him as he knelt beside to Bridgette. He stared into her eyes as he ordered “Tell them you are not bothered with that little bit of money. Let’s go home.”Bridgette stared into his eyes, at a loss, not knowing what to do. Just as Rufus’s lips were curling into a victorious smile, he heard her sneer.“Che! You think too beautifully.” Bridgette pushed his hand and kicked him away.“I
Rufus’s eyes sparkled with madness as he saw the bug fluttering his wings and rising in the air, flying towards Bridgette however in the next second the bug self-ignited in a small flame and fell to the ground. No one noticed the spark that flew from the tips of the Night Lord’s fingers and attacked the poor bug, burning it to ashes.Emile’s eyes widened as she saw the whole thing unfold before her eyes. She turned to look at her husband, who sat with the same indifferent expression. She wouldn’t have believed it if she didn’t see it with her own eyes. She stared at her husband in admiration.Chris turned to look at Emile as he felt her burning gaze on him. He never intended to hide from her, the only reason he never divulged was to keep her safe. He blinked as he smiled innocently. She returned the gesture although her face turned pink after being caught peeking; she rested her head on his shoulders. She didn’t need to know anything that he didn’t want to tell her. She also knew that
“Puff…shamelessness now has a name!” Addison sneered before hi-5-ing Eric who was sitting next to him.“What are you doing?” Silas gritted his teeth as he directed his hateful gaze at Eric “Are you not ashamed to join an outsider to gang up on your own grandfather?”“That’s your grandfather…. What’s it got to do with me?” Eric shrugged with a disdainful expression “If anything, he has always schemed against my brothers without any consideration of kindred… didn’t I learn from him?”“You on the other hand….tsk…tsk… how can you watch your grandfather being reduced to this state?” Eric taunted “Hurry up and pay off the debts that he owes so that he doesn’t have to spend the rest of his life in state custody for financial fraud.”“You….you….” Silas was trembling in anger as he pointed at Eric but was unable to say anything beyond the ‘you’.“Didn’t you hear me?” Rufus ordered without the slightest hint of politeness as he noted Adam sitting without any response “Pay them the amount that th
“Wasn’t that line-up and ruse a bit excessive?” One of the officers twisted his lips in confusion as they walked out of the building.“Yes, I think so too… there was no need for our presence, but I must admit, a good show it was!” the older officer who had a special hobby chuckled rubbing his hands.“If I know the devil….” The young officer who was also the team leader paused before clarifying himself “I mean the youngest master of the Walter clan… which sadly, I do….” he feigned a regretfully expression before continuing “he is not that bored; he never speaks or does anything for verbality. My bet is that the show today was not for us…” he shrugged “we were just unexpected performers in the orchestration of their grand theatrics.”“Huh? The show was not for us??” one of the other officers asked as he scratched the back of his head, confusion dancing in his eyes.The young officer shook his head, his eyes narrowed in calculation “They have all the evidence they need. The meeting today
Grandma Wren came back after one of her social parties in a foul mood and was about to head to her room as usual when she noticed that her husband, son and grandson were all seated in the lounge area, which was contrary to usual. She changed the directions of her steps and walked up to them.“Why are you all home early?”“Gone…. Everything’s gone….” Rufus was still muttering without registering Grandma Wren’s presence.“What’s gone?” Grandma Wren knitted her brows as she turned to her son and then grandson as she knew she wasn’t going to get an answer from her son.“Grandma, we are about to lose everything.” Silas sighed as he slumped back on the sofa. Grandma was here… she would look after grandpa; he could relax now.“What do you mean?” Confusion danced in Grandma Wren’s eyes “Were you not able to outbid the bid for those shares?”“Grandma, who is Bridgette?” Silas asked without answering Grandma’s question.“Why mention that bitch?” Grandma Wren twisted her lips in disdain “She is t
Three days ago-The Walter siblings had gathered at Chris’s place as planned and sat chatting in a relaxed manner after they knew that they would only be leaving at 3:00 am, only the kids below the age of ten were forcefully sent to sleep at their normal bedtime; the rest were free to do what they wanted much to Chris Jnr and Emm’s resentment. All the negotiation terms that they had prepared were blown with the wind with a single word from the Empress as Emm would put it.“Little brother, why did you want us to buy their properties?” Darcy asked once the chatter turned to serious business. "Most of them are pretty vulgar in appearance....ugh....." He made a gesture to show how revolting their aesthetic sense was!“Because I don’t want them to be left with anything they earned with the life of my great grandfather and the happiness and tribulations of my grandmother and maternal granduncle.” Chris narrowed his eyes, his jawline tightened as he grinded his teeth in hatred.“Little brothe
Everyone boarded the flight once the excitement died down. The seating was similar to a standard flight, maybe even better.“How come the one I took last time was different?” Lorenzo pouted as he thought of the rough ride he took last time.“Last time, our Lord was on a mission.” Night Wing was the one who spoke; he shrugged “Whereas this time, our Lord is taking a leisure trip with his family.”Lorenzo childishly made sarcastic taunting face at Night Wing as he puffed his chest and sat down like a resentful child. Nola could only shake her head helplessly as she watched her husband’s childish behaviour. Luckily the kids were fast asleep and did not have to witness their father’s shameless look.“Little brother, why is this aircraft parked in the basement?” Darcy knitted his brows once the excitement died down and he thought of the crucial matter “How can we take off from here?”“That’s why I said this is not your regular ride.” Chris smiled calmly as he secured the pods that appeared
After travelling in the depths of the ocean for about 4-5 hours, the aircraft rose towards the surface of the ocean increasing its speed and surfaced in the blink of eye, before anyone could notice a change on the surface of the ocean where the aircraft left the ocean and started to ascend into the skies above. What no one realized was that the aircraft was invisible with a cloaking device that was even impenetrable to the infra-red scanning device.The course of the aircraft was straightforward as with every overt journey that the Night Empire aircraft undertakes, the destination was the Bermuda Triangle. The aircraft would inactivate the cloaking device once it reached the Bermuda Triangle and change course to head towards its destination; thus, the mystery surrounding the location of the Night Empire.“Very clever” Thomas smirked as soon as he realized what was happening. Although Mark and Darcy didn’t comment, the proud arc of their lips spoke volumes.“What’s clever?” Eric asked a
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
