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 Caldwellâs declaring bankruptcy and the company being sealed as it couldnât 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 wasnât a nightmare at all but her reality. She sat up holding her aching head as the nightâs events came flooding. She covered her mouth f

âIs everything alright?ââMadam, we are finished.â The young secretary breathed in despair as she recounted everything at happened.Amanda decided to keep the phone as she didnât 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 âWhat??? What is going on?ââWhy is this happening to me?â 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.âLetâs go another round, a keepsake for the road before we part ways.â One of the men laughed vulgarly as he stood up and moved closer to her. However, before

âGet your Boss deranged with such childish pranks? Che!â Adrian sneered âAre you giving them more credit than they are worth?ââThatâs because you have overlooked the fact that it is Madam that is involved.â Night Wing shook his head helplessly as he stuck to his theory âBoss's IQ seems to drop every time something happens around Madam.ââIf daddy is tired holding up the skies, I will help him hold it till he recovers.â 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 sisterâs hand with an extremely serious look that didnât 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.âDaddyâs little man is here.â 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 adultsâ 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.âCome⌠come⌠familyâŚâ Matthias stood up and invited as he moved the chair he was sitting on for Adam.âNoâŚnoâŚno⌠sitâŚsit⌠we will take seats over there.â Adam politely returned the seat as he walked forward towards Chrisâs bed. He sighed in relief as he saw both Chris and Emile had woken up.âHow are you feeling?â Adam asked, the guilt in his voice couldnât be hidden.âDad, I am fine.â Chris blinked, pacifying Adam while Chris Jnr stood up from his seat and pulled Adam to sit âGrandpa, you sit here and chat. I will get seats for eldest uncle and the rest.âNeil rubbed his nose in embarrassment as he stood up along with Adrian to get seats for everyone from the nearby nurseâs stati

âSonâŚ.â Adam called out his head lowered in guilt once the Burkes left, and he no longer needed to keep face âI have failed you and Emile and made the little ones suffer as well.ââDad, I donât blame you although I will not forgive mom.â Chris pursed his lips; he knew his dad was stuck between a rock and a hard place and didnât want to make it any harder than it was. His thoughts were exactly the same as what his son said earlier âevery debt had a debtorâ.âNeither can I⌠no matter how hard it isâŚâ Adam spoke in a low defeated voice âYour mother and I have decided separate.ââWhat???â Chrisâs eyes widened; he didnât expect this⌠what he didnât want was his father to play the mediator for him to forgive his mother. Chris opened his mouth once the news sank in âDadâŚIâŚââThis has nothing to do with you.â Adam interrupted shaking his head âIf anything you are the victim. Perhaps it is all my faultâŚ. Things wouldnât have gotten to this stage ifâŚ.ââDad, no use mulling over split milk. There

âNow that, that is all out of the wayâŚâ 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.âI am more interested to know what you wanted Henry to do.â Mark raised his eyebrows challenging, daring Chris to lie.âDidnât Harry sayâŚ.â Chris asked weakly.âDo I look as easy to fool as Eldest uncle Burke?â Mark retorted before fixing his gaze on Chris.âBig brother, can I take a raincheck on answering thatâŚ.ââTry againââEmile wantedâŚââTry againâ Mark interrupted impatiently before throwing a side glance at Eric.âDonât look at me⌠I am thoroughly and utterly innocent this time.â Eric raised his hands in innocence.âBig brother, I asked them to keep an eye on the old house and check out a few things.â Chris could only confess partly helplessly.âWhy? What have they done now?ââNothing newâŚ.â Chris shrugged âBut I havenât settled old scores, and you know my slate is always balanced

âBig brother, are we really going to wait till Chris is ready to tell us?â Lorenzo asked on the way back, his face twisted uncomfortably, âWhat if he needs us and we arenât there?ââMy little brother has grownâŚâ Mark smiled, the smile carried both loss and pride but not a hint of malice could be seen anywhere on his face or soul. âHe will ask when he needs us.ââUs, staying out of the way is the best help we can give.â Angel spoke in a soft voice âI have a feeling the storm is coming.ââDad, you are sureâŚ. Like heaven and earth sure that you havenât made a mistake?â 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 wouldnât keep anything from him unless it was absolutely necessary.âSon, are you itching for a thrashing?â 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 wasnât sure how things worked up there.âHelloâ Henry answered within a few rings.Chris: âI have a questionâHenry: âShoot.âChris: âIs it possible to buy private shares that were donated to the military back??âHenry: âYeah⌠same as anywhere else. The price has to be right. Are you thinking what I think you are thinking?âChris: âUmâHenry: âDo you want me to scout for information?âChris: âI donât want to impose.ââItâs no trouble. You are family.â Henry laughed as he added âHarry can find this information in no time.âChris: âThen I will be trouble first brother.âHarry 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

Never to look back   My mommy is right beside my daddy, where she should rightfully beâŚ
Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnrâs arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.âThank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.â Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didnât even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.âIt was our pleasure.â Several associates including Ron hurriedly joined
Never to look back   I can be bribed.
Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasnât planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each otherâs thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didnât need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasnât planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relatives

Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emileâs favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chrisâs arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parentsâ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind with

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldnât be changed to another date.âWhereâs Christian?â Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didnât notice that Christian wasnât with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didnât get a chance till now.âHe went off with the Walters.â Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.âThat bastardâŚâ Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.âWhatâs wrong?â Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.âNothing âŚ.â Daniel shrugged be

âSenior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.â One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adamâs side.âUmâŚâ Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him âLead the way.â Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasureâs hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabethâs care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didnât expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasureâs subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;
Never to look back   What trouble did you two manage to get into this time?
The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.âWow! That was so magical.â One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a manâs undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.A

âMommy, you better take care of your man from here onâŚthere's only so much a little girl can doâŚâ Emmâs bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on âIt was hard work, but we got him here for you.âEveryone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.âUffâŚ.uffâŚâ Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyoneâs attention before he continued âAs you have witnessed, our daddyâs journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommyâs blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and loveâŚ.âThe laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didnât have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.âor whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
Never to look back   You could never do what he didâŚ
âYou could never do what he didâŚââWhat did you say?â Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didnât want to believe it. He didnât want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didnât why would she say that?âHow can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.â Emile giggled as she turned around to face him.Daniel stared at her face for a long time trying to make sense, trying to discern if what she said was purely based on the wedding arrangement or whether there was a hidden meaning in them. But before he could process this line of thought, the ceremonial bells rang leading everyone to take a closer look at the hot-air ballon in the center. Although it was one that could hold 35 people, there were currently only about 25 people including the celebrant and his assistant.âThat is actually a priest not a celebrant.â One of the guests in Danielâs basket, who h

Almost all the guests in the hotel woke up in the wee hours of the morning as they had all arrived to participate in the youngest Walterâs wedding. All of them without exception were filled with excitement regardless of the reason for their excitement.No one knew the exact location of the venue, as other than the name, Church in the Sky, Mossel Bay, there were no details of how to get to the venue. All they knew or were told when they asked for location details was that transportation for them to be taken to the venue was arranged for everyone attending the wedding.Cars were lined up one behind the other, at the hotel entrance, picking up the guests as they arrived at the entrance and heading for the venue. Daniel, Emile and Christian lined up at the back of the line as they arrived.âWhat are you looking for?â Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.âGrandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.â Daniel shrugged âHe could come in the same car as us.
