“Now how many of you consider the sister of your best friend as a childhood sweetheart?”Almost everyone of them put their hands down.“Have you not been around your friend’s sister? Have you not played with her?”“We have” the people who put their hands up previously responded in unison.“Then, how is it fair that you, who had your friend’s sister around you and played with her when you were growing up not be considered childhood sweethearts while my father who is also guilty of the same crime, have to be forced into accepting his best friend’s sister as his childhood sweetheart?” Mark narrowed his eyes as he looked at the audience.No one dared to refute but Lenin couldn’t sit still. He jumped up in his chair as he pointed his finger at Mark and cursed “Big brother, don’t go too far. You can wriggle your way out of most things by your twisted logic but today…. You picked the wrong topic.”“All my brothers are around me …. I don’t have any other brothers.” Mark spoke sharply as he dir
Lenin had no idea how he left the studio. He walked through the streets like a lost soul; whether it was his mental state or his physical appearance, which one was more pathetic was debatable. As he walked through the streets, anyone who saw him would take 10 steps away from him. Eggs and rotten tomatoes covered his body giving off a pungent smell; to add to the graphic details was the juices from the smashed eggs and rotten tomatoes that were smashed on his head were running down his face. He didn’t even bother to wipe them off even though they were blurring his vision. He just kept walking, aimlessly through the streets that he once travelled like a king!There was no need to say that Lenin was finished. But what was worth noting was what he did once calmed down. He checked into a hotel and cleaned up before boarding a flight to his uncle’s hometown. He didn’t stop anywhere, nor did he take any detours. He went straight to the sanitorium where his uncle was admitted.“Son, you’re bac
Chris was enjoying a rare quiet moment with his wife and kids when Night Wing announced his presence with a cough.Chris raised his head to acknowledge Night Wing’s presence and raised his eyebrows enquiring.“Boss, about Lenin.” Night Wing hinted and stopped, waiting for Chris’s instructions. Chris gestured with his hand to continue. He had no secrets from his wife and his kids needed to be trained; they were not green house flowers, he hoped for them to be stronger than him.“Boss, he boarded the flight and went straight to Hugo’s place.” Night Wing pursed his lips pulling them lopsidedly “We also had a report that Hugo was found dead in his room with his throat slit.”“What else did you expect?” Chris shook his head “This is very much in alignment with his character. He holds a grudge for the smallest of unintentional grievance, how could he let go of Hugo who not only groomed him to be the way he is but also tricked him for his entire life and also robbed him of his true identity a
“Daddy’s got double standards.” Emm pouted as she folded her arms across her chest. Chris Jnr too nodded his head in agreement and explained looking at the clueless face of both his parents “Daddy said that a man should have principles that he should live by, but every time mommy throws a tantrum, daddy seems to forget that he is a man.”“Puchi….” Emile burst out giggling… she couldn’t hold it in… their kids were too cute.“How is this double standard?” Chris shrugged as he opened his palms upward in a matter-of-fact gesture.“When we ask daddy to break his principles and not punish us, he never succumbs but mommy doesn’t even need to ask, she only needs to look, and daddy back peddles faster than a super-fast jet.” Both Chris Jnr and Emm spoke in unison as though they have had this conversation a million times in their head.“Puchi….” Emile bend over laughing clutching her tummy; looks like their little ones had a huge grievance. They even completed a long sentence in unison without e
It didn’t take Chris long to cover thousands of miles as he arrived at his master’s island. He stood on the tallest treetop as he observed the island. There was nothing out of the ordinary, but he knew Night Mage’s ability. If he noted fluctuations in energy, then there was someone or something that intruded without permission… but who and why couldn’t he sense them?There was only one answer for why he couldn’t sense them, but he didn’t want that answer to be correct. How could he still protect his master’s abode?He remembered that his master had told him that the only time they wouldn’t be able to see through the other parties’ movements and cultivation is when they are levels above them.Even if he didn’t have the confidence to win, he couldn’t sit waiting for his master’s haven to be destroyed; he decided to take a closer look and edged closer.‘SHISH…” an arrow cut through the air and struck an inch away from his ear; Chris froze, he didn’t even sense the arrow till it was too la
Inside Master’s room, Chris obediently sat cross legged on the mat opposite the one that master habitually sat on; no one else entered. Master too sat cross legged as he swept Chris’s body with his spiritual sense.Outside, Spectra, who had become more familiar with Hendrick whispered, “How big a trouble is Boss in?”“Bucket loads.” Hendrick smirked before turning to Spector “Shouldn’t you be reporting back? See how much trouble you caused my junior brother?”“I…. I …” Spector misunderstood the meaning of Hendrick’s words, taking the literal meaning and blurted while stuttering “I never knew Master would be so fierce.”Although Spector and Spectra were originally master’s disciples, they had just entered the inner sect when Master decided to leave, to enter the next plane with all the inner sect disciples and had not interacted much with master and was unaware of his temperament. They only saw the amiable, calm and composed sect master façade that was displayed in front of everyone.“
He pulled Spectra and Spector into his protection and flew a few meters away before stopping and watching the scene that was unfolding before his eyes. He shook his head in disbelief as he muttered “They are crazy.”The wise ones heeded Hendrick’s advice and took cover; the silly, more curious ones were all pushed back and vomited a mouthful of blood as thunder and lightening struck one after the other. They used all their remaining strength to crawl to a safe space before the next round.Thunder and lightening fired down at the hut almost splitting it into two halves and yet didn’t have any intention of slowing down. It struck down in righteous vengeance and with due reason. Someone had cheated the heavens to level up; it didn’t matter if they had paid the price previously and not levelled up. This was not a tavern to keep tabs!Hendrick used his spiritual sense to look into the room as amidst the smoke and dust from the hut splitting into two, no one could see a thing. He heaved a si
Chris didn’t waste time arguing with his master; he knew that he wouldn't be able to change his master's mind once he decided on something. He decided to finish his tasks quickly and come back to spend some time with his master. He returned back to his villa in no time. By the time Chris returned, not only was all the arrangements for the dinner completed, but also all his brothers and sisters were in attendance.“Where did you go off to?” Eric was the first to see Chris who was walking down from the stairs leading down into the house from the rooftop.“A short errand.” Chris shrugged as he reached the group “Let’s eat first, the kids must be hungry. I am sorry to keep you all waiting.”“What nonsense?” Mark chided while Darcy wasn’t polite, he slapped the back of Chris’s head gently “What a load of nonsense…”Dinner was noisy as always; the chatter of adults and the laughter of kids filled the house. Emile smiled peacefully as she looked around her before looking at the man beside her
“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
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

Daniel arrived in Mossel Bay with Emile and Chris Jnr after midnight and was surprised to see that despite being a small airport with the least traffic, they were functioning effectively in an orderly manner without the slightest panic or error; their flight was probably the last or one of the last to land.It didn’t take them long to clear customs and immigration; Daniel and George went over to get the luggage while Emile and Chris Jnr waited in a quiet corner.“What mischief are you up to this time?” Emile pinched Chris Jnr’s ears gently as she questioned, once she noted that Daniel had walked away, away from their range of activity.“No…. nothing…” Chris Jnr stuttered with a pink face as he tried to free himself from the empress’s claws.“Hymph” Emile hmphed unhappily as she turned away; Out the corner of her eyes, she saw Daniel was coming back.“What did you do to upset your mommy?” Daniel questioned him as soon as he came in front of them. He had seen Emile pinching Chris Jnr’s
Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil
Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co
“What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar
“Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas
Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa…. Hai…” Master sighed, shaking his head resent
