Never to look back Do you know what happened to the last person that threatened me?
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 f

“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, before

“Get your Boss deranged with such childish pranks? Che!” Adrian sneered “Are you giving them more credit than they are worth?”“That’s because you have overlooked the fact that it is Madam that is involved.” Night Wing shook his head helplessly as he stuck to his theory “Boss's IQ seems to drop every time something happens around Madam.”“If daddy is tired holding up the skies, I will help him hold it till he recovers.” A childish voice in a serious tone came from the door. No one in the room had to turn around to know who the owner of the childish voice was. Chris Jnr walked in holding his sister’s hand with an extremely serious look that didn’t match his voice nor his age.Henry coughed to hide his loss of composure while Simon and Timothy let out stifled laughs as they followed the little man into the room; the rest of the Burkes followed behind.“Daddy’s little man is here.” Chris chuckled as he extended his hand to carry them as he normally did. Little treasure was about to run to

Adam and rest knocked on the door and entered as they heard the childish voice inviting them in; the adults’ heart was smaller than a needle and pursed their lips pettily.Adam pushed open the door and entered but his steps paused as he saw a room full of people. He only expected Neil and the kids to be here.“Come… come… family…” Matthias stood up and invited as he moved the chair he was sitting on for Adam.“No…no…no… sit…sit… we will take seats over there.” Adam politely returned the seat as he walked forward towards Chris’s bed. He sighed in relief as he saw both Chris and Emile had woken up.“How are you feeling?” Adam asked, the guilt in his voice couldn’t be hidden.“Dad, I am fine.” Chris blinked, pacifying Adam while Chris Jnr stood up from his seat and pulled Adam to sit “Grandpa, you sit here and chat. I will get seats for eldest uncle and the rest.”Neil rubbed his nose in embarrassment as he stood up along with Adrian to get seats for everyone from the nearby nurse’s stati

“Son….” Adam called out his head lowered in guilt once the Burkes left, and he no longer needed to keep face “I have failed you and Emile and made the little ones suffer as well.”“Dad, I don’t blame you although I will not forgive mom.” Chris pursed his lips; he knew his dad was stuck between a rock and a hard place and didn’t want to make it any harder than it was. His thoughts were exactly the same as what his son said earlier ‘every debt had a debtor’.“Neither can I… no matter how hard it is…” Adam spoke in a low defeated voice “Your mother and I have decided separate.”“What???” Chris’s eyes widened; he didn’t expect this… what he didn’t want was his father to play the mediator for him to forgive his mother. Chris opened his mouth once the news sank in “Dad…I…”“This has nothing to do with you.” Adam interrupted shaking his head “If anything you are the victim. Perhaps it is all my fault…. Things wouldn’t have gotten to this stage if….”“Dad, no use mulling over split milk. There

“Now that, that is all out of the way…” Mark paused as he narrowed his eyes towards Chris who shrunk his head slightly as he knew what his big brother was going to ask, while the rest looked curiously.“I am more interested to know what you wanted Henry to do.” Mark raised his eyebrows challenging, daring Chris to lie.“Didn’t Harry say….” Chris asked weakly.“Do I look as easy to fool as Eldest uncle Burke?” Mark retorted before fixing his gaze on Chris.“Big brother, can I take a raincheck on answering that….”“Try again”“Emile wanted…”“Try again” Mark interrupted impatiently before throwing a side glance at Eric.“Don’t look at me… I am thoroughly and utterly innocent this time.” Eric raised his hands in innocence.“Big brother, I asked them to keep an eye on the old house and check out a few things.” Chris could only confess partly helplessly.“Why? What have they done now?”“Nothing new….” Chris shrugged “But I haven’t settled old scores, and you know my slate is always balanced

“Big brother, are we really going to wait till Chris is ready to tell us?” Lorenzo asked on the way back, his face twisted uncomfortably, “What if he needs us and we aren’t there?”“My little brother has grown…” Mark smiled, the smile carried both loss and pride but not a hint of malice could be seen anywhere on his face or soul. “He will ask when he needs us.”“Us, staying out of the way is the best help we can give.” Angel spoke in a soft voice “I have a feeling the storm is coming.”“Dad, you are sure…. Like heaven and earth sure that you haven’t made a mistake?” Eric asked with a sheepish smile. This was the only thought in his head, from the moment this question was raised by Chris, from the moment he asked Adam if he had ever made a mistake. None of the rest bothered him; his trust in Chris was absolute. He knew his little brother wouldn’t keep anything from him unless it was absolutely necessary.“Son, are you itching for a thrashing?” Adam gritted his teeth before turning to Ma

Chris started to make his move once he was discharged from hospital. He got Jonas to purchase all the shares from the small fries which amounted to 10%. Thinking about the 5% shares that got transferred to military, Chris called Henry as he wasn’t sure how things worked up there.“Hello” Henry answered within a few rings.Chris: “I have a question”Henry: “Shoot.”Chris: “Is it possible to buy private shares that were donated to the military back??”Henry: “Yeah… same as anywhere else. The price has to be right. Are you thinking what I think you are thinking?”Chris: “Um”Henry: “Do you want me to scout for information?”Chris: “I don’t want to impose.”“It’s no trouble. You are family.” Henry laughed as he added “Harry can find this information in no time.”Chris: “Then I will be trouble first brother.”Harry got back to Chris the next day saying that the military was more than happy to get rid of those shares as it had long stopped being profitable and all it meant was more paperwork

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

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

Emile felt a bit anxious as she entered the room with Chris’s and Neil’s masters. Although she knew them, she wasn’t very familiar with them. She looked towards Lai-Li with an anxious gaze; Lai- Li was the only person in the group whom she knew a little better.“It will be alright.” Lai-Li comforted in a gentle voice as she saw Emile’s gaze resting on her uncomfortably.“Master Walter’s mood might get agitated and that won’t help us.” She explained patiently as she saw that the concern in Emile’s gaze hadn’t dispersed. “Neil is not used to our world, and he will be in a daze and that will not help our cause as we will need to be quick.”Although Emile didn’t fully understand, she nodded. She had seen Chris do unbelievable things before, stuff that couldn’t be explained by logic and science alone.“It will be quick. Everything will be back to normal as soon as you wake up.” Lai-Li coaxed gently as she patted her hands while Emile’s lids gradually grew heavier and finally, she closed her

“Daddy, little treasure is here.” Emm tugged Chris’s pants with grievance. She had been waiting patiently for daddy to coax little baby and carry her, but little baby had no intention of coming down.“Daddy’s little treasure is the most understanding treasure in the world.” Chris smiled as he knelt and carried Emm along with Bruno and headed to wait in front of the door.“Little brother, let me…” Darcy stepped forward extending his hands towards Chris with a sheepish smile. He wondered if he really was not cut out to be a good father; he was happily standing watching the drama unfold when Grace nudged him with a reproachful glare as she gestured with her eyes towards Bruno.“It’s okay.” Chris chuckled looking at Darcy’s embarrassment before turning his doting gaze towards his little treasure and then Bruno.Neither looked at him as they were both looking at the closed door with similar anxious expressions although the cause of their anxiety was different. Little baby’s world only had B
