Elizabeth left early; she caught the first flight out and headed towards the idyllic south coast, however relaxation was the last thing on her mind. She had overheard one of the conversations between her sons and knew that Emile was in the south coast. She had asked one of her bodyguards to investigate Emile’s daily schedule.She knew that she would alternate her evening outing between a walk on the beach and shopping at the mall. If she was fortunate enough, she could meet Emile as today it would have to be the shopping mall. The only trouble was to meet up with her without falling into Daniel’s eyes. She knew that she was being overly optimistic as her bodyguard had also warned her that Daniel wouldn’t take half a step away from Emile; she still wanted to do her best and try her luck.Elizabeth reached the mall shortly after it opened. She got herself breakfast and found a spot by the window overlooking the entrance of the shopping mall. She wasn’t impatient in the slightest; she ca
Daniel didn’t rush back as he promised; he had to get his forehead dressed and think of a good excuse to pull wool around Emile’s eyes. After being delayed at the hospital, he missed the last flight and had to stay back. He decided to catch up with Ron since he didn’t have anything planned and dialled Ron on the way back from the hospital; he had a lot to tell Ron.“Hey… it’s Dan.”“Um” Ron’s acknowledged unenthusiastically.“Let’s catch up. Are you free now?”“I am free but let’s not catch up.” Ron refused without a second thought.“Huh?”“I told you previously that I don’t approve of the path you want to take and that if you choose to take that path, then there is no need for us to be friends. Remember??” Ron paused before he continued “Since you have made your choice, there is no need to ring this number anymore. We are no longer friends.” Ron didn’t waste time and hung up after saying what he wanted.Daniel held on to the phone with a colourful expression as he listened to the ‘du
Days passed by, soon a month had passed. Although Emile and Daniel’s life looked picture perfect, only Daniel knew that they had not breached the gap, the invisible wall that existed between them.Emile was also getting confused; she knew that she had loved Daniel since the age of 15 and yet, now they were husband and wife, she couldn’t bring herself to get close to him. In her memories, she remembered craving for Daniel to reciprocate her feelings but now although she could see his love and affection, her body and mind had only one reaction, repulsion; she felt extremely repulsive every time he got closer to her.No matter how she thought, she couldn’t rationalize her reaction. She even tried to consciously ignore the repulsive reaction and get closer to him as she knew it was not fair to a husband who had given up everything for her. The effect was even more dramatic than she expected; she ended being rushed to the hospital by Daniel as she lost consciousness.Daniel’s patience was
Daniel had just finished dressing the back of his head and arrived at the door of the emergency room when the young nurse announced, “Mrs Holston’s family??”“Yes” Daniel stepped forward with a polite and yet anxious expression.“The lady has finished the drip; you can take her home after completing the discharge procedures.”“Thank you… thank you very much.” Daniel thanked the nurse sincerely as he walked into the room to see Emile.Emile’s face was still pale, as white as a sheet of paper, without a trace of blood. She was currently lying down with an unfathomable expression. Daniel couldn’t figure out if she had remembered the past or not by looking at her expression. He took two steps cautiously towards her and cleared his throat “Cough…cough…”Emile raised her eyes to look at Daniel; other than the tiredness in her eyes, he couldn’t see anything.“Wife, shall we go back?” Daniel asked in a gentle, coaxing voice. He wanted to gamble that she didn’t remember anything. He also didn’
Lai-Li looked at Min who had rushed back and was sitting in a corner with his face as black as a pot as though he was sulking over something, in confusion. She looked back at her master who showed no signs of waking before slowly approaching Min. She gently placed her hand on his shoulders as she asked in a low voice “How is it? How is the youngest mistress of Walter family? Is everything alright?”It was fine if she didn’t ask anything; but the moment she opened her mouth, it was like adding a fuse to the firecracker leading Min to have an angry meltdown.“Don’t mention that woman.” Min exhaled deeply as though he was trying to exhale a bad breath “She is not worthy. That woman is not worthy of a man, as righteous and upright as the youngest master Walter.” Min scolded Emile without a conscience. Every time he thought about what he had heard and seen when he went over, it was enough to send his blood boiling.He wanted to scold some more, using some more profound words, but his culti
“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
“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 Holst
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 empathe
