Eva didn’t return home after her fallout with the Walters. She got the waiters at Love Nest to send her to one of her apartments once she was wasted. This was probably the best way out for her. At least she didn’t have to go through the pain and humiliation of the chain of events in her head over and over again.

She woke the next day with a terrible hangover headache, but it didn’t matter as she didn’t have to be anywhere anyway. She sat in bed going through her life in the last twenty years and couldn’t find a single moment when she was actually happy. Every second, she had a façade of gentleness, enduring, thinking that her happiness was just around the corner.

No matter how much she endured or schemed, the happiness she craved was never hers. Probably the happiest days of her life was the last month when Darcy had amnesia, but now she doubted…. Doubted whether he was acting to get her to lower her guard. Poor Eva would never know what hit her unless it was spelt out, in black and

  • Never to look back   Auntie are you willing?

    The next few weeks went by peacefully except for Chris being on tenterhooks with Emile being in her 8th month. Darcy, Grace and Marcus moved to Darcy’s villa in the main residence although Chris and Eva continued to stay in their private villa outside. Neil and Abbey decided to go back after Emile’s delivery. The person who was most happy with Abbey’s decision was not Emile but rather Night Wing; he had no idea why he was so happy when the stupid woman decided to stay back. “Why don’t you shift to the branch here?” Chris asked as he noted Night Wing’s oddity. He had to be responsible for his wooden brother. “Umm….” Abbey hummed as she pursed her lips thoughtfully. Inwardly, she liked the idea, but she wasn’t sure if Samuel would want to find an assassin to kill her. “Why do you need to think so long?” Emile pouted. “Do you think Samuel will kill me?” Abbey blurted what she was thinking without a filter. “Cheee!” Night Wing sneered “I bet he will be lighting a few crackers.” Abbey

  • Never to look back   Haven't we suffered enough?

    When Darcy and his family of three had just moved to the villa, Grace walked around the villa in awe while Darcy watched her with a happy smile. Grace wasn’t in awe of the richness or splendor of place but because the design was exactly the same as the blueprint she had drawn for her future house many moons ago. “Dad, why does this place look a bit different?” Marcus was also confused. This was obviously his home and yet after not coming back to more than 2 months, it looked like it had changed completely. “This is the house your mother always envisioned.” Darcy spoke in a soft yet magnetic voice. “I had always planned for this, but your mother decided to leave me stranded midway through the journey. I no longer had any dreams, and the house was left in its original state.” Darcy explained in a low, wronged voice “It wasn’t until the light returned that I remembered the dreams of my youth and the unfinished house.” Grace blushed shyly as she heard Darcy’s shameless words. She wante

  • Never to look back   My husband is not a demon.

    “Let bygones be bygones….” Darcy muttered with his head lowered, feeling lost for a few moments. He would have to be a fool to not understand the undercurrent; his lips curled up in a self-derogatory smile ‘He was truly a fool to not see what even his little brother saw through.’ “I am willing to respect your decision” Darcy slowly raised his eyes to stare into Grace’s as he said word for word “But I still need to know how miserably I failed.” Grace sighed helplessly as she sat next to him, hugging him as she spoke in a soft voice “You have never failed me. I always knew in my heart that you would still be waiting for me, to pick up from where we left.” “The reason I left was never you. It was me and my son.” Grace didn’t cower as she spoke “I left because I was selfish.” “I thought that if I told you about what Eva did, or the choice she gave us, you would without a doubt chose to give up on our child.” Grace exhaled helplessly “This is the first seed of our love, how could I give

  • Never to look back   Why is she not here yet?

    Amidst the laughter and bickering, the ladies boarded the majestic limousine that was generously booked by Mark the minute he heard his wife was going shopping with all the ladies. Skyline shopping center was the epitome of class and luxury goods. Anyone who was an anyone would want to shop there even if it cost them their entire living expense for the month. However, Emile had never been there and was looking forward to it. In her defense, she had only been in the country for less than 3 months. Jewelry, shoes and bags were all weaknesses of the Walter women just like ordinary woman and they were in a dilemma where to go first. Inside the limo, the ladies discussed passionately without coming to any conclusion until Sarah suggested tossing. They quickly made chits with the three options; considering Sarah was the oldest and the one who suggested the method, they let her choose the chits. Soon it was decided, first shoes, then jewelry and bags. The arrival of the limo at the entran

  • Never to look back   You stole it?

    Adrian had already started reviewing the surveillance footage along with Neil when Chris walked in with his brothers. “The security team has moved to another room for live feed monitoring, and we can use this room for now.” Adrian updated Chris as he reviewed “I am reviewing the footage from restaurant from 30 mins from the incident.” “Not just restaurant, we need to review the footage of all floors from the time ladies planned the shopping.” Mark spoke as sat in front of one of the computers. “Let’s review 3 floors each. That should cover the entire “Get the shadow guards to review traffic surveillance within 50 kms circumference of this shopping centre. Cover every nook and corner.” “This is like looking in a haystack without knowing whether you are looking for a needle or a pin.” Chris muttered even though he obediently sat at the desk to review the footage as Mark delegated. “Whose brilliant idea was this?” Eric grumbled as he reviewed the footage. “Mom’s” Darcy spoke without

  • Never to look back   I want all the bastards that dared, alive.

    “What’s in that direction?” “Nothing much.” Mark spoke looking at the area Chris was pointing towards with a scrutinizing gaze as he recalled the significance of the landscape “It used to be an industrial area that got ditched even before it was developed due to environmentalist protests against changing the landscape to resolve access difficulties.” “Boss, I think we can predict the destination of the car with 95% accuracy.” Night Wing spoke as he looked up the map of the area where the car disappeared. He had pulled up the specifics of the area as Mark was speaking. “Um?” Chris asked in a low voice although his eyes were locked on the screen where the car disappeared. Every minute that ticked off without any news of Emile, was another minute that his life force and sanity was draining off. “Here...” Night Wing pointed confidently at the patch of lush trees. “There is an abandoned factory here.” “Let’s go.” Chris didn’t want to wait any longer. Even if the chances were only 5%, h

  • Never to look back   Do you think that you will survive past today?

    Emile found herself lying in the back seat of a modified 7-seater when she gained consciousness. She raised her head in confusion, only to find herself restricted by the ropes binding her. She saw that there was only two men in front and one in the middle seat, staring at her. “Don’t blame me. If anything, you only have yourself to blame for falling in love with someone else’s man.” The man shook his head in regret. Perhaps he felt sorry for the miserable woman who was unlucky in love in front of him. He knew her story and there was nothing but regret as he looked at her. He knew her story and there was nothing but regret as he looked at her. Her first love was a tomb of torture and the second one although it seemed to be smooth sailing, would eventually take her life, either way, she was not destined for a happy ending. Perhaps, he felt sorry for her as they both fell in love with the wrong person or so he thought. If Sheryl was here, she would have recognized the man, as it as none

  • Never to look back   Our paths won't cross and even if we do, we will meet as strangers.

    “Eeisssshhh…” Emile gasped in pain as the brute men cut the ropes and tugged them off. The ropes that were already digging into her legs, left a bloody trail as they were rudely yanked off. Even so, Emile pursed her lips and walked forward. She knew that her husband who spoiled her unconditionally was not around, and she didn’t have the luxury of acting spoiled. Her eyes misted and streamed down her cheeks as she thought of how she might never see the man who spoiled her unconditionally. “Keep moving” One of the men pushed her forward as he saw her slowing. Emile moved forward before being able to stabilize her balance. She sighed in relief as she hugged her tummy and walked forward. She didn’t have the courage to slow down any further. The inside of the warehouse was more desolate than the outside. There were another 8 eight men inside, all eyeing her like hungry wolves. But none of them approached her. Larry was seated in a corner watching them as they walked in step by step. He

  • Never to look back   My mommy is right beside my daddy, where she should rightfully be…

    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 Jnr’s 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.“Thank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.” Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didn’t even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.“It was our pleasure.” Several associates including Ron hurriedly joine

  • Never to look back   I can be bribed.

    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 wasn’t planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each other’s thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didn’t need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasn’t 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

  • Never to look back   Thank you my dearest, for completing me…

    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.Emile’s 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 Chris’s 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 parents’ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind wit

  • Never to look back   You always promise and never deliver…

    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 couldn’t be changed to another date.“Where’s Christian?” Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didn’t notice that Christian wasn’t with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t get a chance till now.“He went off with the Walters.” Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.“That bastard…” 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.“What’s wrong?” Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.“Nothing ….” Daniel shrugged b

    “Senior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.” One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adam’s side.“Um…” Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him “Lead the way.” Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasure’s 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 Elizabeth’s 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 didn’t expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasure’s subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;

  • Never to look back   What trouble did you two manage to get into this time?

    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.“Wow! That was so magical.” 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 man’s 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.

  • Never to look back   There's only so much a little girl can do…

    “Mommy, you better take care of your man from here on…there's only so much a little girl can do…” Emm’s bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on “It was hard work, but we got him here for you.”Everyone 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.“Uff….uff…” Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyone’s attention before he continued “As you have witnessed, our daddy’s journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommy’s blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and love….”The 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 didn’t have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.“or whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around

  • Never to look back   You could never do what he did…

    “You could never do what he did…”“What did you say?” Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didn’t want to believe it. He didn’t want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didn’t why would she say that?“How can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.” 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.“That is actually a priest not a celebrant.” One of the guests in Daniel’s basket, who h

  • 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 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 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.“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.
