The reason no one other than Chris was home when Daniel arrived was because they were all busy settling their affairs before they returned, although their roots were here, the ancestral home was after all not the place they had settled.

Mark and Darcy with the help of Peter and Lorenzo were busy with reorganizing the Walter business sorting out the mess left behind by Rufus and his sons, making the process smoother for their grandmother to take over as their maternal granduncle had his own business and the Dupont estate that was entrusted to him and didn’t want to take on anymore responsibilities.

In his words, his birthright gave him the indulgence of being a loafer under his elder sister’s protection, but fate denied him his birthright until now. Even if it was too late, why would he not cherish the delayed compensation that fate bestowed? The other reason was because Bridgette was the rightful heir, first born to the Walter household.

This was also the biggest blessing of the Walter

  • Never to look back   No one can love you more than him.

    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 cal

  • Never to look back   I was rushing back to have breakfast with my wife.

    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 ‘duk

  • Never to look back   Not long now, my love.

    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 r

  • Never to look back   How can I be angry with you?

    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’t

  • Never to look back   I still have a secret agenda I hope to fulfil….

    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 cultiv

  • Never to look back   Chee! I don’t think my taste and standards are that low…

    “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

  • 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

  • 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   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

    “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

  • Never to look back   I knew big treasure loved me the most.

    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

    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
