Chris walked out of the room with a dark face. He could believe how sinister the womanâs mind was; If she could do something that vicious that at 22, what was she capable of now. Chris began to worry about Emile. He didnât want to lose his happiness that he had obtained with great difficulty. He suddenly felt that their decision to travel incognito owing to Emileâs request was brilliant. He instructed Night Blade to take Leim back the same way they came and to ensure any traces of their travel here was wiped clean. âAre you going to tell second brother and Marcus?â Emile asked with a heavy heart once they reached back at their cottage. She didnât know that a woman could be so cruel. She felt suffocated listening to that disgusting man talking about the incident as though it was as simple as going to a shopping mall to get something you liked. She didnât know if it was because she was pregnant, but her emotions were in a mess. Her heart ached for Marcus who had been deprived of the r
Adrian arrived half an hour later with a blonde slender woman who was about 160 cms tall and a 2-year-old who was just like a doll. âThis is my wife, Iris Symonds and our son, Jonah.â Adrian introduced his wife and son to Emile. Jonah was a smaller version of Adrian, charming everyone's heart with a simple glance. âMy apologies for having missed your special day.â Iris smiled sincerely as she apologized âMy mother was hospitalized, and I needed to be with her.â âApology accepted.â Emile smiled sweetly before asking in concern âHow is your mother now?â âShe has stabilized now but the doctors arenât too optimistic about her situation.â Emile patted the back of Irisâs hand to comfort and show her concern. Once the ice was broken, the three women left the men to their own devices and huddled in the entertainment room to gossip. The men too left the main hall and went to the study to discuss their course of action. Adrian and Neil were shocked by the information they saw from the reco
Raphael sat back in his armchair as thought back to his previous conversation with Chris. He had called him in the wee hours of the morning to discuss the details of Emileâs discipleship. Raphael was a recluse especially during the period of time when he went into creative hibernation. He would literally shutdown the world around him, but he didnât have such requirements for anyone else. The reason he insisted the same for his disciple was solely due to Chrisâs request. Emile didnât have any reason to suspect Raphael; everyone in the designing world knew about his quirk but no one knew whether it would extend to his disciples since he never has any disciples. Chris had a mischievous smirk at the corner of lips as he drove out of the Dupont estate. He couldnât believe that Raphael could keep a straight face while he was lying with his eyes wide open. He felt a warm feeling spreading when he thought of Raphaelâs indulgence towards him. He wanted Emile to stay in Dupontâs estate even
Eva rushed to Walter manor as soon as Clive came to the hospital to relieve her. Her only goal was to get her passport and rush to the airport. However, once she reached Walter manor, she was surprised to find that it wasnât the silence she expected but was rather filled with bustle and noise of a full house. Adam was seated in his usual spot reading news on his touchpad. Mark and Darcy were seated in the lounge area discussing something. Elizabeth was sitting next to Adam reviewing one of the fashion mags. Eva looked around in surprise. âYouâre back.â Elizabeth asked before she had a chance to take in the fact that the Walters were back âHowâs Amanda?â âSheâs still the same.â Eva sighed as she sat on the couch next to Elizabeth. Inwardly she felt sour although she didn't show it on face; It looked like they had returned yesterday and yet no one thought of ringing her to let her know that they were back. âDo you know what happened?â Elizabeth asked once again without giving Eva a
âI donât think you have to worry about this.â Adamâs facial muscles loosened as he spoke, his lips even curled up arrogantly; his family was his pride. He knew how much his children doted and cared about each other; their bottom line was family. âIf I am not mistaken, your brothers should be here any time now.â Adam folded his arms as he scoffed âI am surprised it took them this long. The delay must be either to blindfolding your mother or sisters.â âHuh?â Both Eric and Chris looked at their father in confusion. âDo you think your brothers wonât see through his lousy performance?â Adam raised his hand and slapped the back of Ericâs head with his hand. âDadâŠâ Eric called out in disagreement; Chrisâs lips curled down. âWhat you need to do is think about how to tell this to your brothers.â Adam shrugged bringing their attention back to the issue at hand. âSince you made the mess, I will leave this to you.â Chris washed his hands cleanly even before Eric had a chance to defend himsel
Emile twisted and turned uncomfortably on her bed. No matter how she tried, she couldnât sleep which was quite a contradiction to her state since she got pregnant. Previously when Chris was with her, she could fall asleep just by sitting quietly for a few minutes and now, no matter how many sheep or pigeons she counted, she just couldnât sleep. Emile had never been one to take a back seat even though she had 6 older brothers to shield her from the wind and rain. It was probably because she had 6 older brothers to pamper her to the moon and back, she grew up as the ringleader, never afraid to get into trouble. Emile only fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning once she decided that she would do what she could to help Chris. She thought through all the threads of Chrisâs investigation before deciding what she was going to do; after sieving through the information, she decided to investigate Grace. She fell asleep thinking about the direction of her investigation. Emile woke up ear
Sheryl waited patiently for Daniel to come begging her for cooperation. She knew that he wouldnât be able to meet her as she had heard that the Walters had all left the very next day after the wedding from Silas, even before she passed the information to Daniel. Her reason for passing the useless message was to lure Daniel into her scheme. Things would be much easier with someone else to do the leg work and take the blame. Meanwhile, Daniel decided to follow his grandfatherâs advice. He decided to concentrate on his relationship with Michelle. Over the next few days, he consciously made the effort to spend more time with Michelle and not think about anything related to Emile. He even wanted to delete all the photos that he had secretly taken and was his prized possession, however when it came to doing it, he couldnât. The most he could get himself to do was move the folder into a hidden folder that was out of his sight. He left all the responsibilities of day-to-day functioning of th
A week passed by since Amandaâs disappearance and yet no one seemed to be impacted by it. Not even her parents; everyone was engrossed in their own schemes. Walter manor too quietened down after the Walter ladies went back to their husbandâs home. Eva had returned late at night after a social gathering when she heard the faint sound of conversation coming from her in-lawsâ room. She tippy toed closer to the room without realizing that her shadow would expose her. Adamâs eye flickered as he saw the shadow hovering near the door. He suppressed the flames arising in the depths of his heart and continued the conversation feigning ignorance. âWhy didnât you stop second from going? Is this the age to be willful and muck around?â Elizabeth continued to complain in grievance âLook, he hasnât even called home since the last time 3 days.â âWhat ifâŠâ Elizabeth was in the midst of having a mental breakdown with her imagination taking flight. Adam covered her lips with his hands and spoke in a
Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnrâs arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.âThank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.â Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didnât even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.âIt was our pleasure.â Several associates including Ron hurriedly joine
Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasnât planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each otherâs thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didnât need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasnât planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relative
Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emileâs favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chrisâs arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parentsâ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind wit
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldnât be changed to another date.âWhereâs Christian?â Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didnât notice that Christian wasnât with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didnât get a chance till now.âHe went off with the Walters.â Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.âThat bastardâŠâ Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.âWhatâs wrong?â Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.âNothing âŠ.â Daniel shrugged b
âSenior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.â One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adamâs side.âUmâŠâ Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him âLead the way.â Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasureâs hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabethâs care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didnât expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasureâs subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;
The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.âWow! That was so magical.â One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a manâs undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.
âMommy, you better take care of your man from here onâŠthere's only so much a little girl can doâŠâ Emmâs bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on âIt was hard work, but we got him here for you.âEveryone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.âUffâŠ.uffâŠâ Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyoneâs attention before he continued âAs you have witnessed, our daddyâs journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommyâs blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and loveâŠ.âThe laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didnât have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.âor whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
âYou could never do what he didâŠââWhat did you say?â Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didnât want to believe it. He didnât want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didnât why would she say that?âHow can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.â Emile giggled as she turned around to face him.Daniel stared at her face for a long time trying to make sense, trying to discern if what she said was purely based on the wedding arrangement or whether there was a hidden meaning in them. But before he could process this line of thought, the ceremonial bells rang leading everyone to take a closer look at the hot-air ballon in the center. Although it was one that could hold 35 people, there were currently only about 25 people including the celebrant and his assistant.âThat is actually a priest not a celebrant.â One of the guests in Danielâs basket, who h
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 Walterâs 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 the name, Church in the Sky, Mossel Bay, there were no details of how to get to 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.âWhat are you looking for?â Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.âGrandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.â Daniel shrugged âHe could come in the same car as us.
