Thank you for your love and support. Can you guess what Sofia has to say? Don't forget to share your guesses via comments. I would love to hear from you. Enjoy reading 💕💕💕 Ciao 😉
“I was recommended to work as a wet nurse for young master by a doctor friend of second master.” Sofia sat back looking into the distance as she went back 20 years through memory lane. “He was consulting his friend on why his wife didn’t have milk for the young master even though she had just delivered the baby.” “The doctor friend advised that it was normal for some woman to not have milk and told him to use a wet nurse. He was the person who recommended me as well.” Sofia paused with a conflicted expression before continuing- “I had just given birth to a still born baby and was finding it difficult to come to terms with it. He was the one who suggested that this would perhaps be a solution to the both of us.” “He gave your brother reassurance of my character and health and your brother took me to your sister-in-law’s ward. He introduced me to the young master and told me that my only job was to feed and take care of young master.” “At first everything was normal.” Sofia paused a
Eric wondered if his little brother was being a bit hasty, but he still trusted his brother's poisonous eye for detecting talent and held his peace. He looked on without any change in expression. Sofia clenched her fists and looked straight at Chris; she didn’t flinch even though she was extremely nervous. After what seemed like a century, she heard the little young master say – “What was your theory?” “Young master is not the madam’s child.” Sofia bit her lips and exhaled “I know what I am saying sounds crazy considering you all witnessed young master being born.” “It does” Eric’s lips curled in mockery as he added “Also, don’t tell me you doubt whether my brother is the father…. I checked.” “I don’t” Sofia shook her head “Young master looks like second master.” “What do you want me to do?” Chris narrowed his eyes as his brain was analysing the probability and possibility of what she said. “I want a new face and name.” “Um” Chris nodded thoughtfully before asking “Does your th
Eva was furious when she saw the memes on social media. She rushed to the hospital under the guise of ‘caring aunt’ to give her brainless niece a piece of her mind. But it was only when she reached the hospital, did she realize the matter was not as simple as it seemed. For once, Amanda was innocent. She was invited to the charity gala that was organized as a cocktail cruise that had all the elites of the community attending. Amanda only attended as she heard that Chris had returned and was on the cruise along with his best friend Neil. Amanda’s best friend Melanie was the one who updated Eva on what happened. Amanda was still unconscious. “Auntie Eva, I swear I don’t know why Mandy lost balance and fell into the water. At that time, I was so shocked I couldn’t think straight.” Her facial expression had the aftermath of the shock. “Everyone was standing shocked when Dr Livingston came out to the deck hearing the commotion.” She patted her chest in relief “It was only under his urgi
Eric arrived the next morning just as Chris had predicted, the only correction in his prediction was that he was not along. Diana couldn’t sit still since she heard what her man had been up to. “Is no one up yet?” Eric curiously asked the butler who led them into the main hall. There was no one in the main hall. “Young master never wakes up early if he is at home.” Hames shook his head helplessly; there was nothing anyone could do. Their young master was a force of nature, he lived in his own world and by his own rules. The only people who could influence him were the young master Walter and young master Montague. Sadly neither thought there was anything wrong with his young master! “Young master Walter has gone for his morning run and should be back soon.” Hames spoke eyeing the wall clock. “The young ladies have not woken up yet.” “Morning Hames” Chris jogged in from the outside in his trainers along with Night Wing and Night Rider as his tails as they were talking. “Morning yo
As Neil and the others sat joking, the scene at the hospital went downhill quite quickly. Eva was planning to go home as she was bored out of her skin; she didn’t have much affection for Amanda anyway, her concern and love for Amanda was all a means to an end. She picked her phone to message her brother when the machines Amanda was hooked up with began to beep and sound the warning alarm. This attracted the attention of the CEO who was on his rounds. He went to the room with his team of emergency staff even before Eva had the chance to raise the alarm. She stood in the background with a bewildered expression when the doctor in the lead turned around and asked in a stern tone “What happened in here? Wasn’t this patient’s indicator normal?” “I.... I... didn’t ...do... any...thing.” Eva stuttered as she trembled in fear. “Did I ask you? Who are you?” Graham waved his hand with an annoyed expression “Clear out all non-medical staff and relatives.” Eva stepped out with her head lowered
Back in Neil’s study, once everyone finished mucking around and settled down, Eric looked at his brother who was purposefully stalling time with a helpless expression. “What did you find out?” “No relation” Chris pursed his lips as he extended the test results towards Eric. “What if the sample we took didn’t belong to Eva?” Eric asked after a while breaking the ghostly silence that filled the room. “Yeah” Diana nodded “Someone else could have used the hairbrush and the hair we pulled out might have been someone else’s.” “How many hair strands do you need for a retest?” Night Wing walked out from the shadows. “Even half a strand will do.” Neil waved his hand and looked despondently at Night Wing however he looked at he had received a thunderstroke as he screamed “W…T…F…” Everyone followed his gaze as they heard the roar and his expression that seemed like he had been struck by thunder. “These are not contaminated. They were pulled out of her head last night and bagged.” Night Wi
2 days passed in the blink of an eye; The Walters except for Eva boarded their private plane to fly back to their homeland. Chris and his group also departed the same day; however, they travelled chartering Neil’s flight to avoid prying eyes. The arrangement was for the Walters to stay at their ancestral home with Grandpa and Grandma Walter while Chris and his group stayed at the hotel. Emile and Abbey were planning to stay at the Burke residence after the next day till the ceremony and then they were planning to fly out to Paris the same day. Emile wondered whether she should let Grandpa Holston know for a long time and still couldn’t make up her mind. “What’s wrong?” Chris smoothed her knitted brows; He had noted that she was frowning ever since they boarded the flight and had still not relaxed even after reaching the hotel. He didn’t want to intrude on her privacy, but he couldn’t help himself when he saw that she was still troubled. “I….” Emile bit her lips with a constipated e
“Why is grandpa grumpy?” Carson, the youngest son of Micheal, Adam’s stepbrother asked once only the younger generation was left in the main hall. He wasn’t aware of the drama that had unfolded before his arrival. “Chris wants to marry the abandoned lady of the Burke house.” Vanessa sat lazily on the lounge admiring her nails. “Mind your language.” Chris narrowed his eyes while Sheryl feigned ignorance and opened her eyes wide in shock. “Chris… Chris…” Sheryl extended her hand to pull Chris’s hand in a spoiled child act but was left hanging her hand in air as Chris side-stepped without giving her a chance. She adjusted her awkwardness gracefully as she asked “Chris, what is Vanessa talking about? How come I didn’t know?” “If you need to know what Vanessa said, ask her. I am not her mouthpiece.” Chris didn’t give her any face as he responded coldly. He continued with a chill in his voice that scared even his own sisters “Who are you that I need to update you regarding my life decisi
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 Mr Walter’s 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 Mossel Bay, there were no details of 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.“What are you looking for?” Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.“Grandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.” Daniel shrugged “He could come in the same car as us.”George: “Boss, shall I ask around?”“N
Daniel arrived in Mossel Bay with Emile and Chris Jnr after midnight and was surprised to see that despite being a small airport with the least traffic, they were functioning effectively in an orderly manner without the slightest panic or error; their flight was probably the last or one of the last to land.It didn’t take them long to clear customs and immigration; Daniel and George went over to get the luggage while Emile and Chris Jnr waited in a quiet corner.“What mischief are you up to this time?” Emile pinched Chris Jnr’s ears gently as she questioned, once she noted that Daniel had walked away, away from their range of activity.“No…. nothing…” Chris Jnr stuttered with a pink face as he tried to free himself from the empress’s claws.“Hymph” Emile hmphed unhappily as she turned away; Out the corner of her eyes, she saw Daniel was coming back.“What did you do to upset your mommy?” Daniel questioned him as soon as he came in front of them. He had seen Emile pinching Chris Jnr’s
Marcus had the easiest job although it looked like it was the hardest; He had planned to recruit all his cousins to help him convince his family to travel to Mossel Bay however all his plans were futile as everyone was packed and ready to set off as he reached home.“Dad, where are you going?” Marcus asked in shock as he saw all the suitcases packed and lined up in the foyer of the outdoor porch at the main entrance. His heart sank as he thought about his herculean task.“I am going to attend my youngest brother’s wedding.” Darcy chuckled before offering “You can come with us, if you don’t want to miss your little uncle’s wedding.”“How did you know?” Marcus puckered his lips as he glared resentfully at his heartless father who stole his thunder.“Chee!” Darcy sneered as he rolled his eyes in disdain without even bothering to glorify the resentment with an answer.“Son, where are you going?” Mark asked with a helpless expression as he saw Marcus walking in the direction of Darcy’s vil
Meanwhile, at the manor on the south coast-“Little master” Night Sonic walked out of his post in the shadows and knelt beside Chris Jnr who was busy on his laptop.“Um” Chris Jnr hummed without raising his head; he was busy finalizing his design of the wedding venue arrangements.“Mr Holston is back.”“What does that madman’s return have to do with me?” Chris Jnr snorted even though his fingers didn’t stop dancing on the keyboard.“Master is upstairs with Madam.” Night Sonic scratched the back of his head with a constipated expression.“So???” Chris Jnr hooked his eyebrows with a curious expression as he titled his head to look at Night sonic. His lips curled up cynically as he teased “Do you think my daddy can’t handle that lunatic?”“Handle …yes….” Night Sonic chuckled after realizing his mistake, "but that’s exactly what I am concerned about."Chris Jnr too chuckled as he imagined his daddy punching the living daylights out of the madman; he didn’t bother to take any action; he co
“What are you little ghosts planning this time?” Abbey asked as she patted the spot next to her on the sofa, giving Amy a suggestive look, to get her claws off her little treasure. Amy reluctantly placed Emm on the sofa next to Abbey and stood dutifully behind Abbey.Little treasure stood up on the sofa, lifting her chin with a boastful look as she announced, “We are going to give daddy and mommy the wedding of the century.”“You what???” Abbey’s eyes and mouth widened in shock. She turned her head to look at Night Blade to find some signs of bluffing but there were no giveaways on his face.She patted her chests in an attempt to calm her heart that was racing faster than a formula 1 car on the racetrack. She exhaled deeply as she stuttered “Wedding … a wedding… my Little treasure …. wants to do the wedding of a century….”“My dear little treasure even a simple wedding preparation takes time...” Abbey tried to calm her little treasure “It takes months and lots of preparation to prepar
“Tell godmother who bullied you?” Abbey sat hugging little treasure on the sofa in the lounge setting in office “Godmother will avenge you.”“Who can bully little treasure?” Emm blinked as she smiled sweetly hugging Abbey “Little treasure is so sweet; how can anyone bear to bully me?”Amy had followed Abbey into the office seeing that Night Blade had no intention of being a gentleman and staying outside. She had to make sure her boss, other than being a workaholic, her boss didn’t have any flaws; she was young anyway… she could afford to work long hours.Amy had just stepped into the office and closed the door when she heard little treasure’s words which were adorable; how could anyone relate the word arrogant to that adorable face? She stood leaning against the door, staring starry-eyed at Emm. She really wanted to hug this adorable little angel.“Yes…. yes…. my little treasure is so adorable, who could bear to?” Abbey agreed happily as she kissed little treasure. “Where is big treas
Master and his group reached the ancestral home of the Walters the next day; deciding on the ancestral home as their destination was a no brainer considering Bai-Min had seen Chris over there 2 weeks ago. However, it wasn’t the much-anticipated reunion that the group expected. Instead, they were told by the gatekeeper that everyone had travelled to Adam’s place.Master hesitated; he didn’t want to follow everyone to Adam’s place. What he really wanted to do was to follow Azure’s aura and find Emile. His original intention was to ditch the group once they met up with Chris and find Emile by following Azure’s aura.“Master, we have to be responsible for them.” Bai-Min knew what his master was thinking and opened his mouth to dissuade his master.“Master, I am following wherever you go.” Lai-Li knew what Bai-Min was up to, so she hurriedly added before Master delegated them to chaperon the trio; once master ordered, they couldn’t refuse.“Aa…. Hai…” Master sighed, shaking his head resent
Chris arrived by Emile’s side as soon as he received his son’s message, giving her a pleasant surprise. Emile was reading a book on her bed when Chris arrived.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’Emile lifted her head to look in the direction she heard the knock in puzzlement; Who would knock on the balcony door?’Her face brightened with the sweetest smile as she saw the man she missed with all her being even though he had only left a few hours earlier, appearing in front of her. She wasn’t expecting Chris to come back anytime soon.“Hubby….” Emile ran to open the balcony as soon as she heard the knock on the balcony door and jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly.“Missed me so soon?” Chris chuckled teasingly as he hugged her back.“Um” Emile nodded without feeling embarrassed, this was the man she loved and missed with all her heart. Why would she care about a little face?She lifted her head once her heart calmed down and settled on the bed, sitting in a comfortable position nestled in her hu
Chris had just sent Little treasure and the rest of when his satellite phone beeped. It was a tone unique for messages from his treasures. He picked up the phone with a smile as he thought it was Little treasure urging him to work hard. His lips curled up further as he read the message; it wasn’t from Little treasure. It read-‘Daddy, the empress is on her own. I am not responsible if anything happens to your spoilt empress. I am busy.’ – Big treasure.He turned to nod towards Night Wing before leaving the manor.Daniel rushed back to his office all the while racking his brain on how to secure an invitation. His fingers paused twice as he browsed through his contacts list and reached Ron’s number, but he didn’t press down. It was more truthful to say that he didn’t have the confidence that Ron would answer his call. He had tried several times without success to reach him in the first few weeks that he had broken off their friendship to explain his side.‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’He heard the
