Eva rushed to Walter manor as soon as Clive came to the hospital to relieve her. Her only goal was to get her passport and rush to the airport. However, once she reached Walter manor, she was surprised to find that it wasn’t the silence she expected but was rather filled with bustle and noise of a full house. Adam was seated in his usual spot reading news on his touchpad. Mark and Darcy were seated in the lounge area discussing something. Elizabeth was sitting next to Adam reviewing one of the fashion mags. Eva looked around in surprise. “You’re back.” Elizabeth asked before she had a chance to take in the fact that the Walters were back “How’s Amanda?” “She’s still the same.” Eva sighed as she sat on the couch next to Elizabeth. Inwardly she felt sour although she didn't show it on face; It looked like they had returned yesterday and yet no one thought of ringing her to let her know that they were back. “Do you know what happened?” Elizabeth asked once again without giving Eva a
“I don’t think you have to worry about this.” Adam’s facial muscles loosened as he spoke, his lips even curled up arrogantly; his family was his pride. He knew how much his children doted and cared about each other; their bottom line was family. “If I am not mistaken, your brothers should be here any time now.” Adam folded his arms as he scoffed “I am surprised it took them this long. The delay must be either to blindfolding your mother or sisters.” “Huh?” Both Eric and Chris looked at their father in confusion. “Do you think your brothers won’t see through his lousy performance?” Adam raised his hand and slapped the back of Eric’s head with his hand. “Dad…” Eric called out in disagreement; Chris’s lips curled down. “What you need to do is think about how to tell this to your brothers.” Adam shrugged bringing their attention back to the issue at hand. “Since you made the mess, I will leave this to you.” Chris washed his hands cleanly even before Eric had a chance to defend himsel
Emile twisted and turned uncomfortably on her bed. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t sleep which was quite a contradiction to her state since she got pregnant. Previously when Chris was with her, she could fall asleep just by sitting quietly for a few minutes and now, no matter how many sheep or pigeons she counted, she just couldn’t sleep. Emile had never been one to take a back seat even though she had 6 older brothers to shield her from the wind and rain. It was probably because she had 6 older brothers to pamper her to the moon and back, she grew up as the ringleader, never afraid to get into trouble. Emile only fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning once she decided that she would do what she could to help Chris. She thought through all the threads of Chris’s investigation before deciding what she was going to do; after sieving through the information, she decided to investigate Grace. She fell asleep thinking about the direction of her investigation. Emile woke up ear
Sheryl waited patiently for Daniel to come begging her for cooperation. She knew that he wouldn’t be able to meet her as she had heard that the Walters had all left the very next day after the wedding from Silas, even before she passed the information to Daniel. Her reason for passing the useless message was to lure Daniel into her scheme. Things would be much easier with someone else to do the leg work and take the blame. Meanwhile, Daniel decided to follow his grandfather’s advice. He decided to concentrate on his relationship with Michelle. Over the next few days, he consciously made the effort to spend more time with Michelle and not think about anything related to Emile. He even wanted to delete all the photos that he had secretly taken and was his prized possession, however when it came to doing it, he couldn’t. The most he could get himself to do was move the folder into a hidden folder that was out of his sight. He left all the responsibilities of day-to-day functioning of th
A week passed by since Amanda’s disappearance and yet no one seemed to be impacted by it. Not even her parents; everyone was engrossed in their own schemes. Walter manor too quietened down after the Walter ladies went back to their husband’s home. Eva had returned late at night after a social gathering when she heard the faint sound of conversation coming from her in-laws’ room. She tippy toed closer to the room without realizing that her shadow would expose her. Adam’s eye flickered as he saw the shadow hovering near the door. He suppressed the flames arising in the depths of his heart and continued the conversation feigning ignorance. “Why didn’t you stop second from going? Is this the age to be willful and muck around?” Elizabeth continued to complain in grievance “Look, he hasn’t even called home since the last time 3 days.” “What if…” Elizabeth was in the midst of having a mental breakdown with her imagination taking flight. Adam covered her lips with his hands and spoke in a
The thing Emile looked forward to most this past week was the video call with Chris at 7pm. The call would come as clockwork, no matter whether it was hail, storm or snow in the world around them. Emile would make sure she completed all her tasks and would be waiting by her computer before 7 in her room. The phone didn’t even have to ring before Emile would pick it up. But today, the phone didn’t ring as usual. Emile started to get anxious even though the time on the clock showed that it was only 2 mins over. Whether it was Emile’s over imaginative mind or the pregnancy hormones, either way Emile’s stress levels were rising at a phenomenal speed. “Duk…. Duk….duk…” Emile didn’t think much as she heard the knock on the door and hurriedly opened it and went back to her computer. She didn’t want to miss Chris’s call. She didn’t even spare a glance at the person who entered her room; it had to be said that Emile’s alertness level was non-existent in this environment. Emile didn’t even s
Chris sat up as thought of the last update from Night Slide. He dialed Henry without hesitation. “Hello” Henry picked up even before 2 rings went through. “It’s Christopher.” “I know.” Henry chuckled “Do you need tips on how to ease my sister’s temper?” “No need.” Chris rolled his eyes “My wife, I can manage. However, I do need your help.” “Um???” “Are you able to create an illusion that Emile is home at the Burke residence?” “Where is my sister?” Henry’s eyes narrowed; his playful aura was replaced with a baleful one. Christopher didn’t take any offense; He explained the situation briefly without touching on the second brother’s issue. “No problem.” Henry’s lips curled up in appreciation; this Walter was much to his liking; no wonder his sister took a fancy to him. “Don’t hesitate to call on the Burkes if you need any assistance. We are family.” Henry didn’t hesitate to extend the olive branch. “Thank you, big brother.” Chris smiled as he hung up. Next, he messaged his fat
Emile rushed downstairs as soon as Anne told her that Master Dupont had received the information she requested. “Madam, please slow down.” Anne rushed behind her worriedly. However, Emile didn’t pay any attention to her. “Monsieur” Emile walked in excitedly as soon as Raphael invited her to enter the study. “Um?” Raphael feigned ignorance as he lifted his eyebrows quizzically. “That… the information…” Emile couldn’t be bothered to be embarrassed; She blurted blushing. “Have you finished the designs I asked?” “Huh?” “The spring designs we talked about yesterday.” Raphael asked with an expressionless face. “Oh… no…” Emile lowered her head before raising her head hesitantly “Can I finish it tomorrow?” “No.” Raphael smiled wickedly “When you hand me your designs with one hand, I will hand over the information with the other. How about it?” Emile stood where she was pouting resentfully before stomping out of the room with a childish temper muttering that everyone was bullying her
