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

    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. It was only a matter of ti

    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

    “This has nothing to do with my daddy. We are the ones who bought our mommy back.” Chris Jnr stood tall as he crossed his arms and looked at Grandpa Holston in anger; Emm, too had the same expression, her face red with anger.If it was another occasion, everyone would have laughed looking at the 1-inch dwarfs who were protecting their daddy behind them.“Great grandpa…. didn’t….” Grandpa Holston couldn’t bear to see the accusatory anger in the eyes of his most precious great grandchildren; he could bear anything; he was ready to bear the curses of the whole world when he decided to close his eyes towards his grandson’s action, but he didn’t factor in his great grandchildren.“You know what you did.” Chris Jnr retorted without giving him any face; his daddy, mommy and little treasure were his bottom line. “I don’t think you want me to glorify it by spelling it out for you.”“Big treasure….” Chris called out, a restraining command in his tone.“Hymph!” Chris Jnr hmphed as he turned his

    “The old master Holston is here.” The butler announced breaking Chris and Henry’s stalemate,“Can daddy’s big treasure go and play with the others?” Chris asked in a gentle voice.Big treasure pouted, clearly refusing to walk away as he knew what great grandpa was here for. He hesitated for a minute before resolutely shaking his head in refusal and ditching Chris for the first time since he was born and walked over to take a seat on the sofa all by himself, with his head held high and lips pursed stubbornly.Just as Chris was thinking about how to coax big treasure, he heard another set of tiny steps pitter pattering towards him; his heart literally sank as he turned around to face the culprit. He could face almost anything that life throws at him without batting an eyelid except for these two little ancestors…. He was bound to be at loss, every single time.“Is little treasure late?” Emm asked Chris Jnr worriedly, without sparing a glance at her daddy and unreliable mommy.“I heard t

    The rest of Burkes followed suit without waiting for either Chris or Emile to respond; curiosity had gotten the better of them.Little baby was not stupid. How would he dare question little aunt? He looked over nonchalantly before making a gesture with his meaty fingers to indicate payment.“What do you want?” Both Harry and Addison asked in excitement.“I am very rich for the time being, so I will let Leo choose.” Little baby responded with a smug look and passed the honours to Leo.“Take us all on the trip to the Alps when fifth Uncle Walter is taking them.” Leo didn’t have to think as he told Addison what he wanted.Addison agreed without a second thought and walked back into the room the adults were seated, humming a song only to be despised by his mother, which he totally ignored and sat down happily with a thick skin.The fate of the rest of the Burke brothers were similar; no one was spared. Henry who was complacent looking at the miserable fate of his brothers, got a rude wakeu

    “Where are you going?” Henry teased as he caught the little overlord and hurled him in the air.“Put me down.” Bruno frowned, flailing his legs anxiously “I haven’t finished discussing with little uncle.”Everyone laughed as Henry put Bruno down, who promptly ran to Chris, looked up at him curiously, awaiting his decision.“Hur…hur…hur….” Chris chuckled “How would I dare renegade on a promise to our little overlord?”“Then when can we go?” Bruno asked seriously, taking no offense to the title, to him, this was recognition of his ability.“When we get back and whenever you say the word.” Chris never had any qualms indulging his nephews and nieces.“Where are we going?” Leo asked curiously.Bruno looked towards Chris who shrugged “It’s up to to the owner of the reward to decide, I am just the charioteer.”“Then let’s go to the ocean king’s castle.” Bruno didn’t have to think twice to make a decision.Chris “”Everyone burst out laughing, only the little ones looked curiously at Chris.“I

    He was smart enough to decipher big treasure's cryptic message that he could find the answer by testing them himself, after sulking for a while, thinking about big treasure’s words over and over again. He rushed to Chris’s room once again, pulled Big Treasure aside and whispered hurriedly before running away. He then ran off to the apartment where the Burkes where resting. He went over to call Leo and Liam to play with him in the backyard with a crafty look in his eyes. All the Burke kids followed Leo and Liam to play, the main intent for the older kids following them was to keep them safe.He turned around to look at Leo with a guilty look in his eyes as he asked cautiously, “Would you stop talking to me if you find out that I landed you in trouble to test you?”“Why do you want to test me?” Leo demanded with a frown.“Because it is very important to me.” Bruno blinked his eyes, lowering his gaze as he whispered, “Like life and death situation that grown-ups talk about.”“Well, in tha

    After the excitement died down, everyone decided to go out, sight-seeing, like proper tourists. Adam invited his friends who politely stayed back at the hotel sensing that Adam and the rest had family matters to sort out, to join the group. Just like that, the Burkes, Walters, Adam’s three friends, the two masters, Chris’s senior brother, Bai-Min and Lai-Li set off on their wild-life adventure, that they had booked with one of the tour groups. It goes without saying that the group included Adrian and his little family and Neil who dragged Chiara along with him. What was unexpected was that Emm pulled Amy, Abbey’s assistant to tag along with them. Luckily for Amy, she had Beth who got dragged into the family outing by Marcus to keep her company. Her boss had ditched her without a conscience the minute her ‘knight in shining armour’ appeared. On their return trip, even though they were all chatting, what attracted everyone’s attention was little treasure’s soft cute voice “Daddy, is it

    The next morning, everyone was in high spirits without even a trace of the anxiety that passed through; although they were still waiting for an explanation, a closure to whole saga. The breakfast table was lively and cheerful. “Son, tell me is Emile really pregnant?” Elizabeth couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She asked once everyone had settled in the lounge area to relax after breakfast. “Um” Chris nodded although he was displeased inwardly; he wondered if his mother had truly changed or whether she was about to revert to her old ways. “Tell us how you know what was wrong with Little aunt.” Miles piped in from the background, turning everyone’s attention towards big treasure and little treasure, after being signalled by Marcus. He didn’t know why eldest brother wanted him to divert the topic, but he still obeyed. He didn’t always have to know the reason; eldest brother was in charge; he would follow whatever eldest brother asked him to do. “Daddy was too lost. We knew we had to

    Outside the room, Chris Jnr finally managed to coax little treasure and sighed in relief. There was nothing he could do about it, his little ears and heart hurt from listening to little treasure’s wails. He would compensate his little brother in other ways. “How is your mommy?” Chris asked once little treasure had been coaxed. “She is fine.” Chris Jnr thought for a minute before answering; his mommy looked fine, she was sleeping peacefully. He leaned forward, close to Chris, gesturing little treasure to come close and whispered with a soft voice “Daddy, I touched a dragon.” “A what?” Little treasure’s eyes widened, surprise mixed with disbelief, reflecting in those adorable eyes. “Um” Chris Jnr nodded with all seriousness in affirmation to little treasure but not before he gestured little treasure to be quiet. “Daddy, are dragons real?” Little treasure leaned even closer as she whispered. “Maybe…” Chris shrugged before closing his eyes and mind linking with the two treasures “Da

    “Jnr might be a good option.” Chris’s master slowly opened his mouth once he finished sifting everyone’s faces through his mind.Hua Yueren lifted his eyebrows questioningly.“He has been around her while she was away. Naturally, the apparition although only a figment of Azure’s consciousness, it will still be sharp enough to sense a friend from a foe. Also, since he is her biological son, his spirit must have a lingering smell of her essence.”Hua Yueren nodded; he didn’t have any better solution. They would re-think their plans if this one backfired.Chris’s master transmitted his message to Spector who promptly brought Chris in, in his usual manner of teleportation.Chris Jnr greeted the two masters and stood straight, neither servile nor overbearing, quietly waiting instructions; his demeanour brought a glint of admiration to the eyes for both men.“Son, can you see the apparition surrounding your mother?” Chris’s master knelt beside Chris Jnr so that he could level his gaze with h
