“Hubby, how about we ask eldest uncle to demystify the past?” Emile blinked her eyes like a curious baby as they chatted after Grandpa Holston left.

“Curious?” Chris tapped her nose with a doting smile.

“Um...” Emile admitted without shying away and asked back “aren’t you?”

“Yes, I am…” Chris paused before adding “what I am curious about is, why would a daughter who was raised in the Walter household could fall for such a scumbag?”

“Don’t you have another example right in front of you?” Emile pouted grudgingly and muttered “Why not just ask her?”

Chris had a confused expression for a minute or so before he burst out laughing as he understood the meaning of what she said.

“My wife is always right….” Chris hugged her close as he saw her turning pink and spoke in a low doting voice “Not just my wife, even I was fooled by that scum…” He rested his chin on her head as he muttered “Otherwise, I would have never given my treasure to him even if you hated me for interfering.”

    Matthias continued with his narration once the ruckus caused by Harry quietened down. “My attention was alerted towards their affairs only when I received a call from Uncle Harvey requesting to arrange a confidential meeting under the guise of an extravagant banquet or some excuse to divert attention from the meeting.” “We met under the guise of discussing what to do for Grandpa Holston’s birthday party which was a month or two away.” Matthias knitted his brows “I slipped away with Uncle Harvey unnoticed while the rest of the their friends made a ruckus under dad’s lead.” “It was only during that meeting that uncle said that he was worried something might happen to him and wanted to transfer all his and Everett’s shares under Everett’s alias, Harold Harper.” Matthias paused before he explained “The only people who know of this identity of Everett are dad, Uncle Holston, me and another of their friend, Uncle Charles. This was because it was associated with his assignment with the arm

    Matthias smirked “The loss of 5% shares was like a knife digging into Rufus’s heart. Lawyer uncle had secretly sent dad a picture of his colourful face when he heard the news. Do you think he would risk the 20% shares in your grandma’s hands?” “Technically that would make the military charity organization the biggest shareholder. Do you think your grandpa will take that chance?” “But more to the point, I had checked at the time and there was no share transfer. The military charity organization still only holds 5% share, so your grandma didn’t pass away.” “But Grandma Bridgette is already past the age of 50…. would that scum……” Addison was known for his impaired filter, his mouth fired faster than his brain. In this aspect, one could even suspect that he was Eric twin brother rather than best friend. Henry frowned as he looked disapprovingly at Addison before turning to Chris with an apologetic smile “This one does not have a filter, brother-in-law, please don’t take offense.” “No

  • Never to look back   I missed my wife.

    “Boss, Emile usually reaches the building by 10am, gets a coffee from the café outside the building before going upstairs; She usually doesn’t come downstairs till 4:30 on most days. Mr Walter usually comes to pick her up if she is any later than that.” George updated Daniel about Emile’s daily routine after observing for a week. “Um” Daniel nodded as he thought of a reason to be going down to the House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions. “Carry on with your work.” Daniel waved his hand, dismissing George who was standing still waiting for the next instruction. Daniel’s mind wasn’t on work for the rest of the day. He sat looking through the pictures of Emile that he had moved into a hidden folder on his laptop. He didn’t need the pictures to remember her, her every smile and gesture were etched in his mind. All he needed to do was close his eyes and he could see her; standing in front of him, smiling with stars in her eyes, waiting for him to look at her and acknowledge her. He s

  • Never to look back   As long as my wife doesn’t despise me...

    In the lift, on the way to the tenth floor, Chris messaged Ryan that he didn’t want anyone to disturb Emile till he notified them. The tenth floor was designed with four luxurious office spaces for each of the three partners and acting CEO, Ryan Redford. All the four offices had an identical layout with each having a rest room, bathroom and a small kitchenette. In addition, there was also an office adjacent to each of the four offices for the chief personal assistant and an office space that was divided into cubicles for the assistants on this floor. Emile’s office was furthest from the lift, at the end of the long corridor. Once inside the office, Chris got Emile a cup of water and waited patiently for her to drink before taking the glass back to the side kitchen. He lifted her up from her chair and sat down before settling her comfortably on his lap. He wasn’t worried about anyone interrupting as he had sent a message to Ryan asking not to be disturbed till they came out as he didn

  • Never to look back   How could I blame my wife?

    Daniel stood rooted staring at Emile’s disappearing back in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that she didn’t even give him a second glance even though he lowered himself and came to call her back. He didn’t come to his senses for a long time. “Sir, is there something I can help you with?” One of the waitresses approached him seeing him standing still like a statue for a long time. “Huh?” Daniel looked at the lady in confusion. “Sir, you are blocking the way for our customers.” The lady spoke hesitantly. “Apologies.” Daniel walked out of the café without looking back. He regretted not bringing George along with him; how could he have made a fool of himself? He could hear the comments of the people in the café as he walked out but the person he wanted to care about him, was nowhere to be found. Daniel sat quietly in his car, without driving as he thought back to what just happened; every second from the moment he spotted Emile walking into café till the moment they walked away. His ey

  • Never to look back   His value is irreplaceable in my life.

    Daniel was over the moon when he received a call from Natalie 2 days later to schedule a meeting with Emile. The requirement for the meeting was that it was held in an open setting, in a café of Mrs Walters preference and in company of her bodyguards who would be stationed close by for her protection. Daniel didn’t hesitate to agree to all the conditions that were put forward. He had been looking forward towards this meeting for a long time, 4 years to be precise. The only condition he had was that Chris couldn’t sit in on the meeting. In his mind, as long as he could have a decent chat with Emile, without any interference, everything would fall back into place. The arrangements for the meeting were all made by Natalie, of course with Chris’s approval. The meeting was arranged to be at the café of Royale Lux for 10am. Daniel called Ron in excitement as soon as the appointment was arranged. “What’s up?” Ron wasn’t one for niceties and there was no need for formalities between the two

  • Never to look back   You really don’t deserve her…...

    Chris hugged Emile close to him as he whispered coaxing in her ears “I am here”. Emile couldn’t stop trembling as she re-lived her worst nightmare with the perpetrator sitting right in front of her, adding stimulus to her already frail mental state. Neither Emile nor Chris predicted this. Chris raised his head to glare at Daniel with intense hatred, his veins bulging as he tried to rein his temper “Come anywhere near my wife when she is alone, and I will not give you the chance to write the word regret in your dictionary. I will disregard all friendship with Grandpa Holston if you ever so much as let your shadow fall on my wife when she is unaccompanied.” Chris stood up with Emile curled in his embrace and walked away once he finished what he had to say. Night Wing gestured for their men to leave as he hurried to Chris’s side. “Get a restraining order against Mr Holston for Emile.” Chris spoke through gritted teeth as he got on the car with Emile in his embrace. “Drive straight to

    Night Wing decided to go Henry’s apartment first to report before going over to check on the little treasures. He rang Abbey on the way and asked her to come over to stay at Chris’s place. He told her that he would explain everything when she came and hung up without wasting time. “Which wind blew you here?” Henry smirked as he saw his butler leading Night Wing into the lounge. “Mr Burke, can we talk in private?” Night Wing was never one for jokes; the rare, odd occasions would have to have Chris, Emile and Abbey around. “What’s wrong?” Henry stood up with a frown and gestured for Night Wing to follow up as he took the lead walking towards his study. On the way, he sent a message to all his brothers ‘Come to my study.’ “Take a seat” Henry invited as he sat on his customary seat and gestured for the butler to serve tea. Night Wing wanted to quickly finish his report and hurry back to his little treasures and favourite woman; he was about to refuse the pleasantries when Henry interr

    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 joined

    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 relatives

    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 with

    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 be

    “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;

    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.A

    “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.
