Never to look back Stuck in the past (4)
The next month was more bearable; less torturesome, with Daniel returning less frequently. Even when he returned, Emile didn’t have to worry about endless torture…. His phone would always dutifully ring after half an hour to an hour and would almost always leave immediately regardless of whether he was frustrated or not.It would be a lie if Emile said she wasn’t jealous as she saw his indulgence towards Michelle. But those feelings wouldn’t last long, she had no longer had any fantasies or requests from Daniel; he had crushed all of them with his ruthlessness’ Now, she was patiently biding her time; waiting to embrace the endless blue skies, the bliss of freedom!Two days before their third wedding anniversary, Daniel returned in a fowl temper and tortured Emile the whole night before announcing the next day that Michelle would be returning to stay with them. He warned her not to come up with any of her tricks or else he would make sure she paid with her life. Emile’s only response w

Christopher sat up straight in anticipation as he saw her eyelids fluttering. He rang the bell in excitement as he stood close to her bed.Emile slowly opened her eyes in trepidation even though her head was heavy and her eyelids refusing to budge. She was worried that she would be back in the villa the moment she opened her eyes. She stared lifelessly at the ceiling.“You’re awake.” Christopher sighed in relief “Thank the heavens.”“Huh?” Emile turned her head in confusion; Her eyes stared at Christopher in disbelief for a few minutes before a smile broke out on her lips “It’s you… I am back!”“Yes… yes… yes…” Christopher agreed without hesitation even though he had no idea what she was talking about. To him, all that mattered was that she was awake.The doctors came in along with the nurses after being alerted by the alarm. They did a thorough check before turning to advice Christopher-“She seems to be much better although the fever is yet to subside. We will observe for 2 more days

Emile was discharged from hospital 2 days later. Abbey was waiting patiently for Emile to get back before hounding her to make up for lost time. The ladies spent the next day indulging in beauty salons while Christopher busied himself with all the work that had piled up.The next day, they gathered on Emile’s balcony for breakfast. They had stayed here for close to a month and wanted to plan what and where to go next.“I need to finish 2 more assignments before stretching my legs.” Abbey opened the conversation once everyone settled in with their breakfast.“How many do have to finish?” Emile grumbled.“This trip seemed to be an oasis of a travel blogger.” Abbey smiled happily “Most of the snippets we sent were selected by the editorial board.”“The flipside is” Abbey scrunched her lips “I have to write up.”“What about you?” Abbey pointed the spear at

Emile looked in awe and admiration at the back of the man that stood tall in front her, shielding her from the world. Being shielded from the wind and rain… this was a feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time… her eyes were filled and nose sour even though she tried to put on a brave front.Christopher had no idea what was going on through Emile’s head at this moment; He would have been elated if he knew; only heavens knew how much he wished to see this expression on her face towards him. But at this moment, heavens had no intention of indulging him. He was busy trying to keep them both alive and not get hurt.In normal circumstances, Christopher wouldn’t even blink in the fight with people of this level of skill even if the ratio was 2 times that of what he was currently facing. But today, with Emile in the mix, he was flustered and easily distracted. However, none of this seem to affect the stars in Emile’s eyes.She had kno

Emile thought back to the first time she saw Christopher. She was surprised she could clearly remember him, wearing their university basketball team uniform which was a white with red border T-shirt and shorts. The T-shirt had a bunch of Maple leaves logo on the left side.“Hi, I am Christopher. Mind passing me the ball?” He had a sunny smile as he asked, running up to her. She still remembered looking mesmerized like a fool as Christopher pointed at the ball at her feet “Ball…”“Oh… ball…. ha….ha….” Emile let out a hollow laugh to hide her embarrassment.“He looks delicious.” Abbey giggled next to her after Christopher ran off with the ball. Although he didn’t forget to turn back to look at them a few more times. Their chance encounters over the next 3 years were one too many to be chance now that Emile was looking back. Even so, he was always an absolute gentleman, never making her uncomfortable or crossing boundaries by taking liberties. Their several encounters during her universi

Emile stayed back to take care of Christopher while Abbey left the hospital in the evening promising to come back in the morning.Emile had no idea how she spent the night. After undergoing the sterilization process required to stay in the ICU, Emile stayed by his side…. talking to him…. reflecting on their encounters out loud.... telling him how she regretted not realizing how much he meant to her while she had the chance…. begging him to wake up…. begging him to give her a chance.Abbey arrived early the next morning with breakfast. Emile wasn’t in the mood to eat regardless of how much Abbey compelled her.“How do you plan on looking after him if you don’t have the strength?” Abbey asked in exasperation, not being able to convince her to eat even one mouthful.“I …I…. I am not hungry.” Emile shook her head.“My dear girl, please eat something.” Abbey begged “What will I do if you fall as well?”“Then, who should I take care of? you or him?” Abbey reasoned without giving up.

Emile knitted her brows and as she raised her head to look at Christopher in confusion.“What if Daniel comes back? What if he wants to be together with you?”Her affection for Daniel was no secret. Everyone who knew them knew about it; he also knew about the price she paid for it.“I take my life very seriously.” Emile stared intently at Christopher as she spoke “So my choices are never made on a whim.”“Despite how I come across or how others perceive me, I am a very stubborn person.” Emile continued without hesitation “I never look back, nor do I hold others accountable for my choices.”“I hate myself for saying this… but…” Christopher shrugged “I would detest myself if I didn’t.”Emile tilted her head encouraging him to speak.“Do you think Daniel hates you?” Christopher started to reason, ignoring the heartache he was feeling.Emile knitted her brows as she seriously considered the question “Maybe not.”“Actually, he likes you.” Christopher lips twisted uncomfortably “It’s just th

Christopher’s recovery speed was astonishing to the medical team even though they put it down to Dr Barr’s exceptional skills. Although Dr Barr staying back to treat Christopher did surprise everyone, they were genuinely happy to bask in his glory and learn from him.“Son, you are good as gold as long as you care of the wound and not get re-infected.” Dr Barr laughed happily after he finished a thorough examination 3 days after Christopher woke up.“Thank you doctor.” Emile was relieved to see the clean bill of health.“Son, can we talk?” Dr Barr coughed to hide his embarrassment.“Sure.” Christopher looked at the medical team and requested “Please excuse us.”Emile was about to walk away when Christopher held her hand “Except her”All the doctors and Abbey walked out.“Speak”“Son…” Dr Barr cleared his throat while Christopher waited patiently.“Can you ask your assistant to give me back my passport?”“Huh?” Emile was shocked as looked from Dr Barr to Christopher.“Did he?” Christoph

Daniel didn’t speak to Chris Jnr on the way back; he sat sulking and occasionally giving him an annoyed look without realizing that his grievance was against a six-year-old. But the sentiments were totally lost on Chris Jnr who thought about it as ‘good riddance to bad rubbish!’Daniel didn’t want much… he just wanted his son to care… to ask how he was… whether he was hurt? He didn’t expect his son to do much but an excuse of helplessness to show he cared… but what he got in return was ignorant indifference.Chris Jnr feigned ignorance to Daniel’s sulking and kept staring out of the window as always; no one would suspect that a six-year-old was doing this on purpose, especially for a kid like Chris Jnr, whose norm was to sit quietly staring out the window.On the flight, Daniel wanted to warn Chris Jnr several times not to tell Emile about what happened, but he didn’t know how to; the awkward silence lasted till the duo reached home. Well, awkward silence for Daniel and blissful silenc
Never to look back What can I do if he goes around asking for a beating?
George tried to rush to Daniel’s side before the police took him away, but he wasn’t successful; the more he tried, the more he got pushed back. He would have to be a fool if he didn’t realize that the shadow guards were purposefully making it difficult for him, making it impossible to get to his boss’s side in order to facilitate the arrest proceeding smoothly. How could the shadow guards not know what their little miss wanted? How dare they allow even the slightest negligence?The only thing George could do was rush after police car, hoping to make it in time, at least avoiding his boss from being locked up. He was surprised to see Chris Jnr sitting quietly in the car, expressionless, without any intention of stopping/ interfering with the ruckus. Until now, he had assumed that Chris Jnr was still in class, unaware of the situation but what he saw in front of him turned his world view upside down. Shouldn’t the kid be concerned when his father was being beaten senseless? Even if he i
Never to look back How dare he judge my daddy?
“How is daddy doing?” Chris Jnr asked little treasure in concern as he walked back to their classroom holding hands.“He’s still holding it together, feigning a happy face to keep me happy." Emm pursed her lips with a helpless expression before she leaned closer and whispered in her brother’s ears "He's gone to help with the request from that president we met when we took daddy’s fancy plane.” “Eldest brother came back to keep me company.” Emm spoke with a bright smile as she knew what her brother was going to ask next.“Daddy was going to change his plans after you went with that bad father, but I didn’t let him.” Emm raised her chin proudly “I called Eldest brother so that I wouldn’t delay daddy’s important business.”“Little treasure is very sensible.” Chris Jnr had a doting smile as he tapped the tip of his little sister’s nose.Emm’s smile grew wider and brighter as she pointed her chin towards the sky; she was floating, her pride shooting to the skies after being acknowledged by

“Where are you taking me?” Neil asked with feigned irritation as Marcus led his through an overgrown grassy forest area which was located behind the prestigious school.“Aha….” Neil kept on with his theatrics as he feigned an enlightened expression “Are you going to demand entry to the school under the pretence that you have me as your hostage?? Are you???”“Che!!!” Marcus rolled his eyes as he increased his pace and kept 2 feet ahead of Neil.“Hey… wait for me… how can you claim to have me as a hostage if I run away?” Neil asked with a shamelessly smug face as he firmly believed his theory although his body was more honest, his legs kept up Marcus.“It’s here.” Marcus stopped at an inconspicuous spot and leaned against the wall casually, with his hands in his pocket.“Here???” Neil looked around at the unkept environment with disgust as he walked towards Marcus.Marcus took two steps hurriedly, keeping his distance away from Neil.“Why are you moving away?” Neil asked innocently as he
Never to look back Who asked him to be my godson?
“I will get Night Vigil to charter the trip to Uncle Neil’s place.” Marcus was about to get up when Emm pulled him back as she hit her forehead with an expression that was midway between helpless and ridicule “My dear eldest brother, where do you think my daddy’s appendages will be when he is in trouble?”“You mean ….” Marcus eyes widened “Uncle Neil is here…”Emm nodded with an all-knowing expression, but added “Not exactly… I mean they are not here, but they are at Royale Lux.”“Let’s go.” Marcus led the way whistling, without feeling even the slightest bit of embarrassment after being ridiculed by his little sister.“Why are you here?” Neil grumbled as soon as he saw Marcus, on opening the door.“And I am not alone.” Marcus chuckled as he entered, revealing Emm who was hiding behind him. Although Emm boasted shamelessly that she was going to charm Neil with her cuteness, she was still scared; she held onto Marcus’s shirt as she hid behind him and peeped cautiously towards Neil.“God
Never to look back Who bullied my little treasure?
The next morning as everyone sat for breakfast, Emm dialled Marcus-“Eldest brother…” She pouted as she called out in grievance as soon as he answered.“What’s wrong?” Marcus’s concerned voice came from the other end.“Nothing…um…um…” Emm sniffled as she shook her head.Chris stopped eating as he walked up to his little treasure and carried her in his arms and cuddled her; he didn’t need to ask to know what was wrong. His treasures had never been separated. He leaned forward and whispered, “Daddy is not going. Daddy will postpone the trip.”“But that is an important thing.” Emm blinked innocently.“Nothing is more important than my treasures.” Chris smiled reassuringly as he gently smoothed her back.“Eldest brother, little treasure is all alone and is not happy. Can you come to accompany me?” Emm blinked innocently as she spoke into the phone; she didn’t forget to complain “Big brother went with that bad man yesterday; he didn’t care about little treasure.”“Eldest brother will be the
Never to look back Don’t rub salt on your mother’s wound.
Chris Jnr sat silently starring out the window as they drove to the airport. Daniel tried to start a conversation with him many times, each time failing miserably.“Daddy will never give up on you like others… after all I am your biological father. Not everyone can replace me.” Daniel started the conversation once again, after boarding the flight.“Whatever.” Chris Jnr didn’t even spare him a glance as he looked outside the window once again.“I know you are feeling sad but don’t hold it in.” Daniel tried to comfort and at the same time, he didn’t forget to sling mud at Chris “Being a father is a big commitment, it’s hard for someone without any blood ties to hold on to such a commitment. Don’t blame him.”“Whatever.”“Your mother is already upset with everything that’s happened and feels really bad and guilty.” Daniel didn’t forget to brain wash along the way. How hard could it be to steer the thoughts of a six-year-old?“Don’t bring up the past and hurt her.” Daniel shrugged empathet
Never to look back Even if you send me away, I will find my way back to where you are…. my home is where daddy is.
“I don’t want to play word games with you...” Daniel huffed as he tried to rein his temper. What he really wanted to do was beat up the smug, insufferable man before him who thought he was king of the jungle. Wonder what Daniel would do if he knew that Chris would not even need one hand to beat him to a state that even his mother wouldn't recognise him? Wonder how colourful Daniel's face would be if he knew that Chris was not king of the jungle but he is the legendary Lord of the Night? However, as they say, ignorance is bliss and this was Daniel's current state.“Not that you’d win even if you tried.” Chris smirked “But I really can’t bear to keep looking at your obnoxious face any longer than I have to. So please, is there anything else?”“What could I want from you other than the divorce that my lover requested and our kids?” Daniel spoke with an extremely disgusted expression. Their disgust for each other was mutual.“Your kids??” Chris hooked his lips as he taunted “Does Mr Holsto

“That reminds me, how is Emile? Any news?” Master finished his bowl of soup and asked about the matter that he was most concerned about.“Don’t ask about her.” Min scowled; both his and Lai-Li’s face darkened at the mention of Emile.“Why? Didn’t you two like them?”“Not anymore.” Min turned his head resentfully while Lai-Li lowered her head.“What exactly happened?” Master asked anxiously “Is she in trouble?”“She is trouble.” Min grumbled refusing to speak.“Min had gone to take a look…” Lai-Li spoke in a downcast tone “She seems to have gone back to her ex. She is not with the youngest master Walter anymore.”“What???” Master asked in shock, before shaking his head in denial “Something is terribly wrong. It cannot be like that…. It won’t….”“I don’t want to believe it either.” Lai-Li pouted “But Min saw that man swaggering in and out of the ancestral house of the Walter after passing on Emile’s request for divorce.”“No… I need to check on them… something isn’t right…” Master tried
