Michelle knew that her past had caught up and all her schemes had been laid bare before Daniel and there was no future for them. She could see it in his eyes when he was questioning her. She knew how vengeful Daniel was and didn't want to stay and be at the receiving end of Daniel's anger. She had seen how brutally he treated Emile whom he loved; she didn't need to be a genius to guess what her fate would be if she stayed. She took all the jewellery that Daniel had given her on various occasions and left the house while everyone was in chaos from the news. She didn’t forget to take away the property certificates that she had tricked Daniel into putting in her name.

Just because she ran away in the middle of chaos, don’t underestimate Michelle’s tenacity and presence of mind. Even if she ran away in a panic, she didn’t forget to pack away all her expensive luxury items, her designer bags, dresses and shoes, in short anything of value that could be exchanged for money that she had bough

  • Never to look back   Thank you for adding warmth to my life, for being my sunshine...

    Emile and Chris weren’t impacted by the ruckus of Daniel’s wedding, even the news of the wedding being cancelled only reached Emile’s ears after a week. “Hubby, did you know that Daniel’s wedding was cancelled?” Emile asked curiously as she sat at the dressing table, performing her night ritual of removing make-up and applying moisturiser. “Um” Chris lifted his head from the book he was reading and hooked his eyebrows with a teasing smile, “Angry that I didn’t tell you?” “Why should I be angry with my husband for unrelated people?” Emile pouted as she came over to the bed and got on her side of the bed. Chris left his book on the bedside table on his side and rolled over to hug his wife; No book was as interesting as his beautiful wife. “What’s wrong?” Chris asked as he hugged her. “I just feel sad for Michelle, even though she hurt me a lot and she was the direct reason for most of my sufferings.” Emile leaned into Chris’s embrace, settling in a comfortable posture “Such a scum

    “What wrong?” Chris asked once they got on the car on their way back home after settling all the affected kids in hospital. “Treasures, can you tell godfather what happened?” Neil ignored Chris’s question and turned to Chris Jnr and Emm. He knew Chris’s parenting methods, but he didn’t agree; his treasures had to be protected from the world of schemes. “Godfather, you don’t have to change the topic.” Chris Jnr spoke in a serious tone like a little adult; his sitting posture and mannerisms were an exact carbon copy of Chris. Neil stared at him in amazement 'how could the two who were not related by blood be so similar? Can nurturing have the same weight as being biological?’ “Godfather, I will tell you everything that happened in detail.” Chris Jnr continued in a serious tone “But you have to answer my father’s question first. Ignoring my father is disrespecting him. I cannot allow that even if you are my godfather.” “Whhhaaaa…..” Neil opened his eyes wide and pointed between father

    “Inform him to meet us at the location.” Chris knitted his brows “Ask him to bring his men along. This experience will be good for training them.” “Where?” Night Blade turned towards Neil. “Lai-Li had tracked master's location towards Mount Hushan” Neil pursed his lips “The exact location we don’t know; we will have to pick up tracking once we reach there. Lai-Li needs to be closer to the location to find the exact location.” “Let’s set tonight.” Chris got up “I will inform Emile and the kids.” Night Blade: “Boss, you don’t need to come. We will meet up with Night Mage at the foot of Mount Hushan and take it from there.” Chris frowned as he turned towards Neil for his opinion. “I think he’s right.” Neil nodded “We will let you know if we cannot manage.” “Alright then… I will leave this to you.” “What about me?” Adrian sat on the sofa with a bored look. “You both stay out” Neil smiled slyly “As always, come and get me when I am in trouble.” “Fine …. Fine….Go… go run wild… you

  • Never to look back   By what right are you claiming to be their father?

    Daniel knew the woman in front of him. He had investigated Chris’s life 4 years ago when after Grandpa showed him Emile’s wedding reception video. Amanda smiled gracefully feigning ignorance to Daniel’s shock and repeated her question “Why is Mr Holston drinking on his own when he has such a beautiful wife and children?” “Ms Caldwell is mistaken.” Daniel regained his composure and answered with a straight face “I am neither married nor do I have kids.” “Oh… yes, how could I forget?” Amanda maintained her smile as she sat down “You are a divorced, ignorant father to two adorable kids.” Daniel knitted his brows but didn’t justify nor deny the allegation and went back to concentrating on his drinks ignoring Amanda. He wasn't in the mood to entertain another delinquent. “Mr Holston, do you want to feign ignorance and drown your love in alcohol while someone else takes over your life as husband and father?” Amanda didn’t beat around the bush as she knew that Daniel wasn’t the type who

  • Never to look back   If only.....

    Grandpa Holston had been carried back to his room by Ron and the family doctor called by the time Daniel came back to his senses. He hurried over to Grandpa Holston’s room but was stopped by the old butler. “Young master, the doctor said not to give the old master any excitement otherwise we won’t be able to hold back what is left of his life.” The old butler lowered his head “Old master said he doesn’t want to see you right now. Let him calm down.” “Grandpa refused to see me?” Daniel pointed at himself in disbelief. “Young master, don’t blame the old master.” The old butler shook his head in heartache “I have watched the old master’s heartache every time he has to go over as a guest to see his own grandchildren. I have seen his heartache when he looks at the lamps that were meant to light his house shining brightly at another….I have seen his yearning and regret. At his age, there is not much he wishes for and the one thing he so desperately wishes for, has been distanced from him.

    “Boss, we are here….” George’s call brought him back to reality and he quickly wiped his tears. “Please let your Mr Walter know that Mr Holston is here to visit.” George informed the security guard at the gate. He didn’t ask if Mr Walter was home because they had already enquired and knew he was home with the kids. “Boss, there’s a gentleman here to visit Mr Walter. He introduced himself as Mr Holston.” The security guard spoke into his walkie talkie. He pressed the button to open the gate after getting approval from his boss. George was about to politely thank the security guard when he noticed that the security guard had no intention of even acknowledging him after he finished his task unlike other security guards who fawned on guests. Inside Chris’s villa- “Boss, Mr Holston is here to see you.” Night Wing announced before muttering “He must be here for the kids.” “Um” Chris nodded as he left the study, heading towards the lounge “Amanda met with him.

    Emile turned around and sat beside Chris, even though it was a single seater once the kids were taken upstairs; her demeanour changed from the tenderness she just had as she was talking to her children to that of an arrogant overlord as she faced Daniel. She didn’t hesitate to look him in the eye as she asked in ridicule, “What is Mr Holston doing so far away from home?” “Emile, can we have a reasonable chat?” Daniel put away his arrogance and asked, his eyes filled with care and regret. Sadly, Emile didn’t appreciate nor need either. “Was it Mr Holston being reasonable that I just witnessed as I came through the door?” Emile snorted, lifting her chin arrogantly “Of course… how could I not know that Mr Holston's standards are different to that of us mere mortals.” “Emile, I was wrong in the past.” Daniel didn’t lose his temper as he normally did. He had learnt his lesson; Emile was no longer the same person as she was in the past. She no longer had any tolerance for him. He had to l

    “Wife, calm down.” Chris gently massaged Emile’s back as he coaxed her. He could feel her trembling in anger.“Calm down??” Emile hissed as she glared at Chris.Chris scratched the back of his head looking like a pitiful kid who didn’t know how to fix his mistake.“How dare he? How dare he have the nerve to walk in here and make a demand for my kids?” Emile had no intention of calming down, she was fuming… like an erupting volcano.Both Thomas and Angel sat in their seats drinking tea pretending to be invisible and ignorant of everything that was happening around them; they both knew that the deaf and blind child lived longer.“How should we deal with him? I will listen to my wife.” Chris coaxed in a gentle voice.“Mommy, we should teach that bad guy a lesson.” Emm waved her hands fiercely in air. No one knew when Emm and Chris Jnr came down.“Yes, mommy thinks so too.” Emile nodded as she bit her lower lip with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.“How about we go at night and put him in

    “It’s Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm whispered with a mysterious expression causing Chris Jnr and Marcus to chuckle as they answered the call.“Hello Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm smiled sweetly as she answered the call.“How is Uncle’s little treasure doing?” Night Vigil’s voice that was filled with affection came from the other end.“Little treasure missed Uncle Night Vigil.” Emm pouted childishly before continuing “So, we have to finish all our work quickly and then little treasure can come and meet Uncle Night Vigil.”“Hur….hur…hur…. that is a must.” Night Vigil laughed heartily before asking “Is big treasure with you?”“How did you guess?” Little treasure’s eyes widened in admiration, her lips making an ‘o’ shape.Chris Jnr shook his head helplessly at his sister’s theatrics but didn’t expose her.“Little treasure is making fun of Uncle Night Vigil.” Night Vigil chuckled without giving the little treasure any face.“Hymph” Little treasure hmphed as she lifted her chin resentfully ‘Uncle Night

    “What is it?” Marcus and Chris Jnr asked in unison, with the same helpless expression.“Choose the venue as the same place that daddy and mommy confessed in Mossel Bay.” Emm answered bubbling with excitement.“If it where they confessed, then we have to do it in several hundred feet above ground.” Chris Jnr rolled his eyes with feigned disdain even though he liked the idea.Emm pouted before raising her chin defiantly “Anyway that would have a special meaning to both daddy and mommy.”“Okay…. okay…. little treasure is right… big treasure was only teasing you.” Chris Jnr quickly decided to plead guilty before the little empress decided to throw a tantrum.“We could do it in the vineyard that our family owns.” Marcus suggested as he agreed with little treasure.Chris Jnr’s eyes kept rolling as little treasure’s idea started to get fixated in his head “Let’s see what the wedding planners can come up with.”“But that will mean more work for both of you.” Chris Jnr added with a thoughtful e

  • Never to look back   What will we do if he does something to mommy?

    “You two….” Marcus looked from one treasure to the other in disbelief, holding a wedding was a huge thing, he wanted to dissuade them, but he knew that twin look; A hundred wild horses wouldn’t be able to hold them back…. What could this poor eldest brother do other than support them?“Tell me what to do...” Marcus slouched down, sighing with a resigned expression; since he couldn’t talk them out of it, he might as well support them all the way and face the music later. Little uncle might be disappointed with him for not being sensible and mature enough to guide the duo in the right direction but at least he could be a good eldest brother.“I have given the task of selecting the wedding planner from the three wedding planners I have shortlisted to Uncle Night Vigil.” Chris Jnr fiddled with his fingers as he lowered his head and raised his eyes to look guiltily at eldest brother and little treasure. He didn’t ask for their opinion before he decided to act and didn’t know if they would f

    Chris Jnr locked his door soon after Emile ran out of his room with the phone and climbed back onto his bed and dialed little treasure. He knew he would have to wait for a while since they hadn’t made an appointment but contrary to his expectation little treasure picked up the call even before it could ring.“Big brother….”Chris Jnr pursed his lips into a pout; Little treasure rarely called him big brother…. Not unless she had encountered some sort of grievance….“Big brother is here…” Chris Jnr softened his voice, like he had seen his daddy do when he was comforting them “What’s wrong with little treasure? Is eldest brother not there?” He knew that with eldest brother near her, there was no way she would suffer any grievance.“Little treasure is fine…” Emm pouted as she tried to hold on to her grievance. She was fine, just that she missed her brother too much… they had never been separated and that too for this long.“He’s here.” Marcus responded at the same time as Emm.“What’s wron

  • Never to look back   His grievance is no longer righteous.

    “I…. what???” Emile’s voice rose a notch as she lifted her head to look at Chris in shock. She shook her head in denial as she lowered her eyes taking stock of every conversation with Daniel; she muttered in disbelief even before her brain finished processing her thoughts “In my memory, our re-acquaintance did not exist, let alone marriage…. Then how can I ask for a divorce?”“I believe you…. you might not have asked.” Chris coaxed patiently as he gently massaged her back to calm her emotions.“Hubby, I am truly sorry….” Emile buried her face coquettishly in his chest, as she muttered “I cannot even imagine the pain it caused you…. I am so sorry…”“It is not your fault. I am to be blamed if you have to blame someone…. It is my fault I believed that lunatic.” Chris pacified gently, without feeling tired or agitated even though he was repeatedly saying the same thing.“The only reason I believed him was because my brain was not functioning properly; I couldn’t see through his stupid sche

    “Yes…. I don’t think either of us will have a choice when those two scheme together.” Chris’s lips curled up; his eyes narrowed with curiosity.Although he was eager to know what his treasures had in store for them, he didn’t look into it as he didn’t want to deprive them of the joy, the joy they got from seeing their expressions towards the element of surprise that his treasures had planned. This reunion was fully to their credit although he didn’t know how they managed; this indulgence was what they deserved.“You mean ….” Emile raised her head curiously to look up at Chris “You mean, the two are plotting?”“How else could you explain me missing my tail?” Chris chuckled “and giving me the luxury to come and find you on my own?”Emile giggled as she leaned comfortably into Chris’s embrace.“Wife, what happened?” Chris asked once they settled comfortably in each other’s embrace.“I am not sure…” Emile paused as she bit her lower lip hesitating before raising her head to look into Chris

  • Never to look back   Hubby…. your son bullied me….

    “Hubby, you…. aren’t you getting married to someone else?” Emile asked cautiously in a low voice; no matter how cautious she was, she couldn’t hide the hope in her heart…which transmitted as an excited relief through her voice. “Wife, I have told you before…I, Christopher Walter will only marry once and my wife can only be Emile Burke…” Chris assured patiently, his voice carrying a promise…. an oath of a lifetime… “Hubby….” Emile called out in a soft voice, her lips curling up in a sweet smile, brightening her entire aura; all her grievance melted with his promise…she knew her husband never spoke for verbality. “Um” Chris hummed in a low coaxing voice; his aura too brightened, dissipating the cold, gloomy aura around him…. a simple address from her, calmed his restless soul like magic. At this moment, silence entwined with each other’s calm breathing, seemed to be healing the undue grievance suffered by the two souls who loved each other deeply. “Hubby….” Emile called again, her v

    Chris Jnr was setting up his gadgets to contact little treasure when Night Sonic announced that he had taken care of everything. Chris Jnr nodded in acknowledgement as he continued to fidget with his gadgets.‘Duk…duk…duk…’ A soft knock was heard a few minutes later at Chris Jnr’s door.Chris Jnr’s lips curled up in a knowing smirk as he carelessly placed a sheet over his bed, covering his gadgets, and walked over to open the door.“Aren’t you tired? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” Chris Jnr quirked his eyebrows wanting to taunt, however his lips curled down guiltily as he saw his mommy’s red eyes.“Do you have a way to contact your daddy?” Emile quickly entered and closed the door as she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble; she didn’t know if Daniel was still awake or if their voice would attract unnecessary attention.Chris Jnr pursed his lips stubbornly toying with the idea of whether he wanted to pay back his daddy’s grievance or succumb to mommy’s sorry state. However, he gave u

    “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
