Never to look back How can I bear him to be hurt so many times?
Abbey was just about to pass out when she heard the sound of a helicopter approaching them, but she didn't even have the strength to wave. She struggled to keep themselves above water in hope that someone would find them. Abbey didn't know when or how they reached her. Just as she felt like she was going to go under, a hand stretched out to pull them out. She fainted soon after she handed Night Wing over to them. She couldn't hold on any longer; she was satisfied that he could be saved. Luckily for Abbey, the ones who came were Christopher's men, Night Wing's subordinates. They were rushing over after receiving the distress signal. Although it looked like eternity to Abbey, it was only 30 minutes from when Night Wing send the signal. However, the response time was still slow by their standards. But there was nothing they could do. Getting their hands on resources in a foreign land was not easy. They quickly performed first aid as they set the course for the best hospital in the coun

Emile and Christopher arrived in Mossel Bay unaware of the storm Amanda brewed for them back home nor the troubles that Abbey and Night Wing were in. Christopher was curious when he couldn't get through to Night Wing, but he was so happy thinking about how he was so close to marrying the love of his life and didn't delve on not being able to get in touch with Night Wing. Night Rider had left a message for Night Wing informing him of their arrival. He was surprised when he didn't see Night Wing waiting for them in the priority lounge as he usually did on the odd occasion that Boss didn't take him along. Alarm bells rang in his head as he noted that no arrangements were made for their pick-up. He called one of the other subordinates that were left here with Night Wing. Night Rider was shocked by what he heard and hung up after asking where they were. He quickly updated Christopher and waited politely by his side waiting for instructions. Christopher knitted his brows "Let's head to th

“Dring…. Ring….Dring…” The phone kept ringing. “Hello” Christopher picked up the call with knitted brows. “Chris, where are you?” Mark’s deep voice came from the other end; The worry laced within was not hard to detect. “I just got back to Mossel Bay.” Christopher paused before asking “What happened eldest brother?” “That….” Mark didn’t know what to say. All the women in the family, including his mother, their wives and sisters were looking anxiously at him. “Chris, hold on.” Mark turned to his family that staring at him holding their breath “Mom, he is fine. He just got back from a work trip. I will go next door and discuss the Treger Merger with him since I have got the bugger on call.” Mark laughed lightly as he tried to ease the tension that was filling up in the room. “So, you’re saying he is fine?” Elizabeth asked with weepy eyes. “Um” Mark nodded reassuringly “Mom, do you want to talk to him?” “No… no… what’s there to talk?” Elizabeth waved her hands and added “Tell him

“Have I caused trouble?” Emile asked in a soft voice as she rubbed the tip of her nose. “How could that be?” Chris chuckled as he gestured Night Rider to bring the info over while both Emile and Abbey spoke in unison that they wanted to read as well. Helpless to reject, Chris gestured Night Rider to read out loud. Night Rider informed everyone that the job was taken by a mob who called themselves ‘Agents to Hades’. Their trademark was the ingenuity with which they carried out their hitlist. The only MO they had, was the untraceability to its members. Night Rider told them that the mob had made a deal with the cruise owners to run the session earlier and inform everyone except Emile or rather the group registered with Emile. They had purposely tampered the bottom of the cage to give way with manipulation that could be done onboard the cruise boat in such a way that it could not be detected even if it was investigated. They also used sonic waves to manipulate the sharks into being ag

Once Eva entered her car, gone was the ‘loving, worried aunt’ expression instead it was filled with viciousness. She was also surprised that her niece who was usually very obedient could think of something like this. She called her brother as she drove to the police station and updated him on the turn of events before hanging up. Eva reached the station earlier than her brother, but she didn’t want to go in. She thought that it was better to give Amanda a lasting memory so that she would be more obedient next time. Eva sat in the car contemplating the everything that happened since morning. She had never seen Mark so furious. He was always calm and collected. Her brows knitted as she thought of an oddity; The Walters were all very protective of their own and Darcy was the most hot-headed. Her frown deepened as she remembered how he barely spoke a word. Once she hit upon a problem, she started to re-analyse the turn of events over and over in her head, but there was nothing out of the

Eva slapped Amanda furiously as soon as they entered the house “Little bitch, what do you think you were doing?” “Auntie… I ….” Amanda paled as she saw the drastic change in Eva’s aura. “Do you have a death wish?” Eva fumed “Don’t drag me with you. This is the last time I stand up for you.” “If you don’t obey, then you are on your own.” Eva couldn’t calm down no matter how she yelled. “Auntie…. don’t …. Auntie… don’t….” Amanda cried pitifully tugging her Eva’s arm disregarding her insults and the slap. She needed Eva to be on her side. She was her ticket to the Walter manor and Chris. Poor Amanda didn’t know that Eva herself was walking on thin ice. Despite all her scheming and meticulous work in the household, she couldn’t get the heart of the one man she loved nor the support of that family. Only she knew that the loving husband-wife relationship was just a façade. The twenty-year timeline that they had signed on their marriage contract was soon nearing and she didn’t have any o

Night Rider made the arrangements for Neil for operate on Night Wing shortly after his arrival following Christopher’s instructions. Abbey was the most stressed of everyone waiting outside; Christopher and everyone on his team were confident of Neil’s skills and Emile trusted Christopher’s judgement. Abbey put down the reason for her stress to, her being the reason Night Wing got hurt. He would have been able to escape unharmed if she was not there and if Christopher did not delegate him to oversee her safety. Emile gently comforted her. Time passed slowly with no signs of people in the theatre coming out. However, no matter how Chris tried, he couldn’t get Emile to go and rest in the room. She wanted to be near Abbey. He could only sigh helplessly looking at the women sitting on the bench cuddled together. Strangely, he could understand. They were each other’s strength. Finally, after what seemed like ages, the lights above the theatre went off; shortly after the door opened with a

Christopher updated Neil with the details on what went on in the Walter manor on their way to the dock. “Cheee! Does she think it’s as simple as a visit to the precinct after hurting Night Wing?” Neil sneered. His lips curled up in a sinister manner “She has yet to meet this young master and truly understand what it means to offend one of us.” The dock was lit up with night lights. Chris and group headed for a very touristy looking cruise that was decked up for some sort of celebration. They headed downstairs under the guidance of their subordinates. The cruise moved forward silently. In the lowest deck was a glass cage filled with fish waste and freshly killed fish. But what was even more gruesome was that there were 5 men immersed all the way up to their chins in this concoction. The men who were most feared and mysterious on the dark net stood in the glass cage with just their heads above the gruesome mix, their eyes roving around with fear. Chris and his group were not in a hur

Never to look back I will build my own destiny, like my daddy
“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
Never to look back I had warned you out of respect for our father and the friendship of a generation
“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 hea

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
Never to look back The empress didn’t become wiser
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
