“We were never in the same league…Heh!” Michelle muttered under breath with a self-derogatory sneer as she watched Emile’s back disappearing at the end of the corridor.

“Madam, shall we?” Natalie pretended not to hear her and smiled politely.

“Yes… sorry, I was lost in thought.” Michelle lowered her head apologetically as she gestured Natalie to lead the way. Michelle walked behind her absent-mindedly. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She was becoming more sentimental these days, although she knew that sentiments couldn't buy her a meal.

Daniel was waiting alone in the room in an irritated mood when Michelle arrived. She feigned ignorance to his agitated mood and smiled coquettishly as she held his arm “Apologies darling. I have made you wait long.”

Natalie bowed to the two of them before leaving with the room in a hurry as though her tail was on fire; She could smell the gunpowder and didn't want to be at the receiving end.

“Let’s go.” Daniel took the lead in walking out

  • Never to look back   Scoundrel….say that again if you have guts….

    “Hubby, how about we ask eldest uncle to demystify the past?” Emile blinked her eyes like a curious baby as they chatted after Grandpa Holston left. “Curious?” Chris tapped her nose with a doting smile. “Um...” Emile admitted without shying away and asked back “aren’t you?” “Yes, I am…” Chris paused before adding “what I am curious about is, why would a daughter who was raised in the Walter household could fall for such a scumbag?” “Don’t you have another example right in front of you?” Emile pouted grudgingly and muttered “Why not just ask her?” Chris had a confused expression for a minute or so before he burst out laughing as he understood the meaning of what she said. “My wife is always right….” Chris hugged her close as he saw her turning pink and spoke in a low doting voice “Not just my wife, even I was fooled by that scum…” He rested his chin on her head as he muttered “Otherwise, I would have never given my treasure to him even if you hated me for interfering.” “Hubby, wh

  • Never to look back   He attacked the strongest using the weakest.

    Matthias continued with his narration once the ruckus caused by Harry quietened down. “My attention was alerted towards their affairs only when I received a call from Uncle Harvey requesting to arrange a confidential meeting under the guise of an extravagant banquet or some excuse to divert attention from the meeting.” “We met under the guise of discussing what to do for Grandpa Holston’s birthday party which was a month or two away.” Matthias knitted his brows “I slipped away with Uncle Harvey unnoticed while the rest of the their friends made a ruckus under dad’s lead.” “It was only during that meeting that uncle said that he was worried something might happen to him and wanted to transfer all his and Everett’s shares under Everett’s alias, Harold Harper.” Matthias paused before he explained “The only people who know of this identity of Everett are dad, Uncle Holston, me and another of their friend, Uncle Charles. This was because it was associated with his assignment with the arm

  • Never to look back   His time for retribution has arrived.

    Matthias smirked “The loss of 5% shares was like a knife digging into Rufus’s heart. Lawyer uncle had secretly sent dad a picture of his colourful face when he heard the news. Do you think he would risk the 20% shares in your grandma’s hands?” “Technically that would make the military charity organization the biggest shareholder. Do you think your grandpa will take that chance?” “But more to the point, I had checked at the time and there was no share transfer. The military charity organization still only holds 5% share, so your grandma didn’t pass away.” “But Grandma Bridgette is already past the age of 50…. would that scum……” Addison was known for his impaired filter, his mouth fired faster than his brain. In this aspect, one could even suspect that he was Eric twin brother rather than best friend. Henry frowned as he looked disapprovingly at Addison before turning to Chris with an apologetic smile “This one does not have a filter, brother-in-law, please don’t take offense.” “No

  • Never to look back   I missed my wife.

    “Boss, Emile usually reaches the building by 10am, gets a coffee from the café outside the building before going upstairs; She usually doesn’t come downstairs till 4:30 on most days. Mr Walter usually comes to pick her up if she is any later than that.” George updated Daniel about Emile’s daily routine after observing for a week. “Um” Daniel nodded as he thought of a reason to be going down to the House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions. “Carry on with your work.” Daniel waved his hand, dismissing George who was standing still waiting for the next instruction. Daniel’s mind wasn’t on work for the rest of the day. He sat looking through the pictures of Emile that he had moved into a hidden folder on his laptop. He didn’t need the pictures to remember her, her every smile and gesture were etched in his mind. All he needed to do was close his eyes and he could see her; standing in front of him, smiling with stars in her eyes, waiting for him to look at her and acknowledge her. He s

  • Never to look back   As long as my wife doesn’t despise me...

    In the lift, on the way to the tenth floor, Chris messaged Ryan that he didn’t want anyone to disturb Emile till he notified them. The tenth floor was designed with four luxurious office spaces for each of the three partners and acting CEO, Ryan Redford. All the four offices had an identical layout with each having a rest room, bathroom and a small kitchenette. In addition, there was also an office adjacent to each of the four offices for the chief personal assistant and an office space that was divided into cubicles for the assistants on this floor. Emile’s office was furthest from the lift, at the end of the long corridor. Once inside the office, Chris got Emile a cup of water and waited patiently for her to drink before taking the glass back to the side kitchen. He lifted her up from her chair and sat down before settling her comfortably on his lap. He wasn’t worried about anyone interrupting as he had sent a message to Ryan asking not to be disturbed till they came out as he didn

  • Never to look back   How could I blame my wife?

    Daniel stood rooted staring at Emile’s disappearing back in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that she didn’t even give him a second glance even though he lowered himself and came to call her back. He didn’t come to his senses for a long time. “Sir, is there something I can help you with?” One of the waitresses approached him seeing him standing still like a statue for a long time. “Huh?” Daniel looked at the lady in confusion. “Sir, you are blocking the way for our customers.” The lady spoke hesitantly. “Apologies.” Daniel walked out of the café without looking back. He regretted not bringing George along with him; how could he have made a fool of himself? He could hear the comments of the people in the café as he walked out but the person he wanted to care about him, was nowhere to be found. Daniel sat quietly in his car, without driving as he thought back to what just happened; every second from the moment he spotted Emile walking into café till the moment they walked away. His ey

  • Never to look back   His value is irreplaceable in my life.

    Daniel was over the moon when he received a call from Natalie 2 days later to schedule a meeting with Emile. The requirement for the meeting was that it was held in an open setting, in a café of Mrs Walters preference and in company of her bodyguards who would be stationed close by for her protection. Daniel didn’t hesitate to agree to all the conditions that were put forward. He had been looking forward towards this meeting for a long time, 4 years to be precise. The only condition he had was that Chris couldn’t sit in on the meeting. In his mind, as long as he could have a decent chat with Emile, without any interference, everything would fall back into place. The arrangements for the meeting were all made by Natalie, of course with Chris’s approval. The meeting was arranged to be at the café of Royale Lux for 10am. Daniel called Ron in excitement as soon as the appointment was arranged. “What’s up?” Ron wasn’t one for niceties and there was no need for formalities between the two

  • Never to look back   You really don’t deserve her…...

    Chris hugged Emile close to him as he whispered coaxing in her ears “I am here”. Emile couldn’t stop trembling as she re-lived her worst nightmare with the perpetrator sitting right in front of her, adding stimulus to her already frail mental state. Neither Emile nor Chris predicted this. Chris raised his head to glare at Daniel with intense hatred, his veins bulging as he tried to rein his temper “Come anywhere near my wife when she is alone, and I will not give you the chance to write the word regret in your dictionary. I will disregard all friendship with Grandpa Holston if you ever so much as let your shadow fall on my wife when she is unaccompanied.” Chris stood up with Emile curled in his embrace and walked away once he finished what he had to say. Night Wing gestured for their men to leave as he hurried to Chris’s side. “Get a restraining order against Mr Holston for Emile.” Chris spoke through gritted teeth as he got on the car with Emile in his embrace. “Drive straight to

    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.

    “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.
