The Walters followed Adam's lead and walked away, one after the other, although their back weren't as proud and straight as they normally were. How could they lift their heads in good conscience when they were the culprits behind their little brother's current plight? Even though they were not directly involved how could they wash themselves of the responsibility of their little brother being on the verge of death?How could their little brother who was otherwise invincible be in such a pathetic plight if they hadn’t forced him with the shackles of relationship to forgive their mother? No one spoke, a gloomy aura surrounded them as they walked out of the hospital.No one saw Elizabeth who was leaning against the pillar and watching the theatre door, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been standing in the same position since she arrived which was shortly after Night Wing and the rest bought Emile. She never expected her son to want to embrace death rather than relieving the effect
“Son, we will leave everything here to you and head back.” Agatha came forward to comfort Neil “The kids are alone with the nannies at the cottage. Message us when they wake up and we will come with the kids.”“I better come with you.” Night Wing was about to walk forward when Henry pulled him back by the collar.“Don’t run back and forth. Everyone knows that you will run back the minute we enter the door.” Henry’s lips curled in mockery “We know the way home. You stay and guard your precious Boss.”“Errr…. Actually…” Night Wing scratched the back of his head in embarrassment “I will come with you and explain on the way.” He didn’t want to speak while they were out and about. He knew, the walls had ears.”“Go on… We are here.” Neil put his arms around Adrian’s shoulders as he pushed Night Wing with the other hand.No one spoke as they walked out of the hospital; Elizabeth stood still behind the pillar, too scared to move. She had heard everything Neil said and regretted even more…. thi
While the Burkes relaxed and rested at Chris’s villa, things were neither relaxed nor restful at the Walter main residence.Adam sat at his customary seat with his sons (in laws) and daughters (in laws) around him. He didn’t have his usual calm and amiable aura but was enveloped in a gloomy aura. The kids with exception of Marcus, Miles, Penny and Vincent were all sent back to their individual villas along with their nannies. No one made a fuss, even the youngest, Mayne knew that something was not right with the adults.“Dad, what are you going to do?” Mark decided to address the elephant in the room while everyone shifted uncomfortably in their chairs.“Family law.” Adam pursed his lips; he didn’t want to…. God knew he didn’t… this was the woman he loved with all his heart… but there were some things that couldn’t be forgiven.No one spoke or rather dared to; they were all feeling conflicted with mixed feelings. While none of them supported Elizabeth’s actions, neither could they diso
Who would believe if someone told them that one sleep could change the economic landscape of a country? Who would believe if someone told them that one sleep could change the lives of so many people?The next day, the city woke up to the shocking news of Caldwell’s declaring bankruptcy and the company being sealed as it couldn’t even be sold for scraps; comparatively Holtz fared better. They packed and left the country, selling all the company shares for one euro. How they kept their lives? How else, other than selling their soul to the devil by signing an unfair treaty with Evergreen Heights to never set foot in the country for trade and to pay 30% of business revenue generated anywhere in the world. To them, it was a best outcome, the alternative being, to cease to exist!Amanda woke up from what she thought was a nightmare only to realize that it wasn’t a nightmare at all but her reality. She sat up holding her aching head as the night’s events came flooding. She covered her mouth
“Is everything alright?”“Madam, we are finished.” The young secretary breathed in despair as she recounted everything at happened.Amanda decided to keep the phone as she didn’t have one currently; she organized a taxi to pick her up from the rear end of the joint and checked her bank account to make sure she had enough to pay the taxi driver. To her shock, none of her accounts had a figure greater than 0 “What??? What is going on?”“Why is this happening to me?” Amanda swept all the bottles that were left on the table as she screamed maniacally. She naturally forgot the men in the room until she felt a few pairs of lewd eyes staring at her, their mouths drooling as they regurgitated the high voltage scenes from last night. They were all woken up by her screaming; she cursed herself inwardly as she thought about her escape plan.“Let’s go another round, a keepsake for the road before we part ways.” One of the men laughed vulgarly as he stood up and moved closer to her. However, befor
Emile sat by the windowsill hugging her knees and looking at the endless night with a desolate expression trying to filter out the annoying sounds coming from the master bedroom. She let out a soft sigh thought about her miserable existence. Eight years of infatuated love and 3 years of marriage with absolute devotion left her with nothing but endless shame and an empty house. In the three years of marriage, there was not a day that the newspapers and entertainment world did not have a news of the colorful scandals for her husband. Emile rested her chin on her knees as she thought back to the folly of her youth. She met Daniel during her first year of university at a gathering of family friends. If at first, she was mesmerized by his handsome face and his domineering aura, later she fell in love with his brilliance and character. Emile was an outstanding bubbly and beautiful girl. She was the goddess in the hearts of almost all the young men at her university, but she had eyes only
Emile woke up with the first rays of sunlight. She hummed a tune as she busied herself in the kitchen making breakfast. Her steps were lighter with the joy of determination after a torturous night of self-evaluation and reminiscing. She finished her breakfast and left home without waiting for the Daniel to wake up.Daniel however was already awake. He lifted his eyebrows curiously as he heard the happy humming coming from outside. But he didn’t get up as Michelle was sleeping nestled in his embrace.Emile first visited her grandfather trusted aide, Lawyer Hee and spent the whole morning discussing and drafting her next steps. In the afternoon she visited grandpa Holston.“Grandpa, I am here to visit you.” Emile stood at the entrance of the living room after the butler had announced her arrival.“Come… come….” Grandpa Holston waved his wrinkled hand as he invited her enthusiastically. Emile walked over and sat next to him with a polite smile “How are you feeling, Grandpa?”“All the mor
Daniel got in his car in irritation and flung the divorce agreement application copy in annoyance onto the passenger seat and drove away. He hit the steering wheel in annoyance a few times to get rid of his anger. He had no idea why he was angry. This was what he wanted for the last three years…. Now that he had got it without even having to ask for it…. why was he annoyed?He calmed himself down by the time he reached Michelle’s apartment. He rationalized his anger was due to Emile’s arrogance and nothing more. He put the divorce agreement in the dashboard before walking up to pick her.The banquet was for celebrating the fiftieth birthday of one of his business partners who was also his father’s friend. Normally people would bring their spouses to such events; but Daniel never bought Emile… not even once. Either it was Michelle or one of the models he was having an affair with while Michelle went away. Initially this was the joke of the event and Emile’s status would be the butt of
