Daniel rushed back after hearing about Emile’s accident; even so he only arrived an hour later, after the doctor’s departure. He rushed up to Emile’s room to find her sleeping peacefully and Christian sitting by the side of her bed, pouting sadly.Daniel couldn’t bear to watch his otherwise aloof son’s vulnerable side. He took soft steps to reach his son’s side hugged him comfortingly and whispered in a gentle tone “Mommy is fine. She is just sleeping.”Chris Jnr didn’t feel any comfort, it didn’t have the warmth and security that he felt in his daddy’s hug. He wriggled out of Daniel’s embrace without hiding his disgust “I know. I was with mommy.” He turned his face towards Emile and mumbled “She tripped against a stone and stumbled. I was not strong enough to hold her and she fell down.” His face fell as he spoke; he wasn’t as strong as daddy. He had to grow up fast so that he could support his daddy.“That isn’t your fault. You are only little” Daniel shrugged without taking any offe
Chris Jnr’s entire body stiffened, repulsed by Daniel kiss but he held it in and maintained the adorable, aggrieved look as he closed his eyes. He maintained his posture till he heard Daniel’s footsteps fading in the other end of the corridor.“Come out” Chris Jnr called out in a whisper.Night Sonic came out from his post in the darkness and knelt before Chris Jnr “Little master”.Chris Jnr waved his hand in gesture urging him to get up.“Is Night Wasp here?”“Yes, little master.”Chris Jnr pursed his lips into a straight line as he thought; he had to be extra carefully. Firstly, he didn’t know if mommy had remembered them; secondly, he didn’t have daddy’s shade to take solace, he was the little man who was going to take care of this mess. He couldn’t make any mistakes.“Do you have Uncle Mage’s sleep incense on you?” Chris Jnr asked as he decided what he was going to do next.“Um”“Go, light it in his room.” Chris Jnr narrowed his eyes “Where is the strong one?”Night Sonic stilled h
“I assume you did everything neatly and there are no traces left?” Chris Jnr sat on this chair with his fingers drumming the armrest; anyone who saw this and was familiar with Chris would not doubt for even a fraction of a second that this was his son. Their mannerisms were mirror images, this was Chris’s posture when he was reviewing his plans or when he is plotting his next move.“Down to the ‘t’” Night Sonic responded, there was even a hint of gloating, a hint of praise me master, in his voice.“The incense in Mr Holston’s room would have dissipated without a trace.” Night Sonic continued as he saw Chris Jnr hooking his eyebrows waiting for further information, “The pill on the guard outside also will disappear without a trace; if anything, he might have a slight headache but that will also justify why he slumbered off while he was on guard and will or rather should not give rise to any unnecessary thoughts.”“Um”“Have you heard from Night Vigil?” Chris Jnr. asked in a whisper, as
Chris Jnr and Daniel were having breakfast as Emile came downstairs. There was no change in her expression or attitude, she had her usual gentle smile as she greeted Daniel and Chris Jnr. Both were watching her with hawk eyes, one to know if his little experiment yielded results and other to decide on his next course of action. “Good morning, Daniel.” Emile greeted as always as she sat in her spot at the dining table “Good morning, Christian.” She didn’t miss the relief that flashed past Daniel’s eyes nor the depression that flashed in Chris Jnr’s eyes. She could only silently apologize for letting down her son’s expectation till she found a way to contact Chris. “Why are you two up so early?” Emile asked as she looked around at the dishes, wondering what she should eat and what was safe. Usually, she would be the first one to come down which gave her plenty of time to make her own breakfast. “Mommy, I am not early.” Chris Jnr pursed his lips “You are late.” Although he mocked his
At the same time, the demon emperor whom Emile was reminiscing about was preparing to land in the private airspace of the President of China. Night Rider had just received orders from the air strip commandoes for landing and was busy giving his crew instructions while Night Blaster was skilfully piloting their descend; Chris sat in the lounge area in the front of the aircraft, where he usually held meetings with dignitaries, working on his laptop ignoring the flurry of activity around him. “The president is awaiting orders to board.” Night Rider informed Chris and headed down to escort the president once he received Chris’s nod of approval. The level of trust that existed could be seen from the fact that the president arrived with only 6 of his most trusted security guards and boarded the aircraft for his meeting with Chris with just his personal bodyguard even though he knew the aircraft would be crawling with Chris’s men who were unparalleled. Chris was seated, his customary seat,
“Who looks for the fortune of a dead child?” Chris snorted without answering the question, but it clearly showed his arrogance and absolute disregard for political correctness.“You…. you… this is an act of foreign incursion… disrespecting our laws……you….” Zhou Yan’s personal bodyguard trembled with anger as he saw the way his master being treated although Zhou Yan didn’t react, nor did he take it personally. Probably because he had a better understanding of the Night Lord’s temperament.“Foreign incursion??” Chris chuckled before his expression and aura were filled with killing intent “My land has no boundaries. Anyone who cannot fight for himself is my subject and I have zero tolerance towards their grievance.”“Night Lord, forgive my assistant’s slip of tongue.” Zhou Yan quickly intervened. He knew what he was getting into, and he didn’t have any regrets. Would he act the same way? No! But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t condone the action. In fact, he admired the Night Lord very much
“What should I do?” Mu Shuayong asked ignoring Night Wing’s taunt; he was going to be the bigger man, at least for the sake of his friend’s life…. However, he couldn’t guarantee that he would remain magnanimous once the danger over his friend’s life was removed.“You don’t have to take responsibility.” Chris slowly opened his mouth “Keep this tab on my account.”“No…. no…. that won’t do.” Zhou Yan shook his head “Like I said, I am very grateful for your help. Although this is something I should do, I can only dare to think and request help as it is beyond my capabilities. I have no intention of letting someone carrying my pot. I, Zhou Yan dared to pass the request knowing very well what the consequences would be. I dared because I knew this needed to be done, this is my cross. I, Zhou Yan am willing to bear the consequences.”Chris didn’t speak but rather stared at Zhou Yan with a measuring gaze; a gaze that made Zhou Yan feel could penetrate the depths of his soul and yet he was helpl
“Like what you see?” Night Blade taunted with his arrogant smirk as stood next to Mu Shuayong, enjoying the undisguised dumbfounded expression on his face.“Are you serious?” Mu Shuayong whispered, still unable to comprehend that the legendary Night Lord would be humble enough to camp in the wilderness.Night Blade didn’t glorify the question with an answer but soon joined in with the other shadow guards to erect the two camps.Mu Shuayong and his guards joined in to assist and soon the two magnificent camps were erected; the facilities could be said to be on par with a five-star rating hotel, leading to Mu Shuayong and his men being gobsmacked once again.“Where are you going?” Mu Shuayong seemed to be following Night Blade in wonder like a three old exploring a new world. It had been a lifetime since he had lived such a lifestyle.“To put some food on the table.” Night Blade shrugged as he led his men. Mu Shuayong followed like his little tail regardless of whether he was welcomed or
“You two….” Marcus looked from one treasure to the other in disbelief, holding a wedding was a huge thing, he wanted to dissuade them, but he knew that twin look; A hundred wild horses wouldn’t be able to hold them back…. What could this poor eldest brother do other than support them?“Tell me what to do...” Marcus slouched down, sighing with a resigned expression; since he couldn’t talk them out of it, he might as well support them all the way and face the music later. Little uncle might be disappointed with him for not being sensible and mature enough to guide the duo in the right direction but at least he could be a good eldest brother.“I have given the task of selecting the wedding planner from the three wedding planners I have shortlisted to Uncle Night Vigil.” Chris Jnr fiddled with his fingers as he lowered his head and raised his eyes to look guiltily at eldest brother and little treasure. He didn’t ask for their opinion before he decided to act and didn’t know if they would
Chris Jnr locked his door soon after Emile ran out of his room with the phone and climbed back onto his bed and dialed little treasure. He knew he would have to wait for a while since they hadn’t made an appointment but contrary to his expectation little treasure picked up the call even before it could ring.“Big brother….”Chris Jnr pursed his lips into a pout; Little treasure rarely called him big brother…. Not unless she had encountered some sort of grievance….“Big brother is here…” Chris Jnr softened his voice, like he had seen his daddy do when he was comforting them “What’s wrong with little treasure? Is eldest brother not there?” He knew that with eldest brother near her, there was no way she would suffer any grievance.“Little treasure is fine…” Emm pouted as she tried to hold on to her grievance. She was fine, just that she missed her brother too much… they had never been separated and that too for this long.“He’s here.” Marcus responded at the same time as Emm.“What’s wro
“I…. what???” Emile’s voice rose a notch as she lifted her head to look at Chris in shock. She shook her head in denial as she lowered her eyes taking stock of every conversation with Daniel; she muttered in disbelief even before her brain finished processing her thoughts “In my memory, our re-acquaintance did not exist, let alone marriage…. Then how can I ask for a divorce?”“I believe you…. you might not have asked.” Chris coaxed patiently as he gently massaged her back to calm her emotions.“Hubby, I am truly sorry….” Emile buried her face coquettishly in his chest, as she muttered “I cannot even imagine the pain it caused you…. I am so sorry…”“It is not your fault. I am to be blamed if you have to blame someone…. It is my fault I believed that lunatic.” Chris pacified gently, without feeling tired or agitated even though he was repeatedly saying the same thing.“The only reason I believed him was because my brain was not functioning properly; I couldn’t see through his stupid sch
“Yes…. I don’t think either of us will have a choice when those two scheme together.” Chris’s lips curled up; his eyes narrowed with curiosity.Although he was eager to know what his treasures had in store for them, he didn’t look into it as he didn’t want to deprive them of the joy, the joy they got from seeing their expressions towards the element of surprise that his treasures had planned. This reunion was fully to their credit although he didn’t know how they managed; this indulgence was what they deserved.“You mean ….” Emile raised her head curiously to look up at Chris “You mean, the two are plotting?”“How else could you explain me missing my tail?” Chris chuckled “and giving me the luxury to come and find you on my own?”Emile giggled as she leaned comfortably into Chris’s embrace.“Wife, what happened?” Chris asked once they settled comfortably in each other’s embrace.“I am not sure…” Emile paused as she bit her lower lip hesitating before raising her head to look into Chri
“Hubby, you…. aren’t you getting married to someone else?” Emile asked cautiously in a low voice; no matter how cautious she was, she couldn’t hide the hope in her heart…which transmitted as an excited relief through her voice.“Wife, I have told you before…I, Christopher Walter will only marry once and my wife can only be Emile Burke…” Chris assured patiently, his voice carrying a promise…. an oath of a lifetime…“Hubby….” Emile called out in a soft voice, her lips curling up in a sweet smile, brightening her entire aura; all her grievance melted with his promise…she knew her husband never spoke for verbality.“Um” Chris hummed in a low coaxing voice; his aura too brightened, dissipating the cold, gloomy aura around him…. a simple address from her, calmed his restless soul like magic.At this moment, silence entwined with each other’s calm breathing, seemed to be healing the undue grievance suffered by the two souls who loved each other deeply.“Hubby….” Emile called again, her voice
Chris Jnr was setting up his gadgets to contact little treasure when Night Sonic announced that he had taken care of everything. Chris Jnr nodded in acknowledgement as he continued to fidget with his gadgets.‘Duk…duk…duk…’ A soft knock was heard a few minutes later at Chris Jnr’s door.Chris Jnr’s lips curled up in a knowing smirk as he carelessly placed a sheet over his bed, covering his gadgets, and walked over to open the door.“Aren’t you tired? Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” Chris Jnr quirked his eyebrows wanting to taunt, however his lips curled down guiltily as he saw his mommy’s red eyes.“Do you have a way to contact your daddy?” Emile quickly entered and closed the door as she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble; she didn’t know if Daniel was still awake or if their voice would attract unnecessary attention.Chris Jnr pursed his lips stubbornly toying with the idea of whether he wanted to pay back his daddy’s grievance or succumb to mommy’s sorry state. However, he gave
“I was thinking out loud about the credibility of the news….” Daniel pursed his lips as he came up with what he thought was a plausible explanation “Considering we were college mates, and our families have collaborated on several projects and yet we were not invited.”“Che!!!” Chris Jnr sneered as he looked at Daniel with disdain “Do you think the legal team of the Walter enterprise is a joke?”“Libel is a serious offense.” Chris Jnr continued with his lips curled lopsidedly in disdain “I don’t think this outlet has money to burn nor the guts to gamble by slandering my….” “Why does a little kid like you have so much to say?” Daniel interrupted Christian, preventing him from completing his sentence and digging a hole for him. He truly regretted his decision to bring this brat back.Chris Jnr shrugged nonchalantly, no longer inclined to complete what he said.“You are right. Why were we not invited?” Emile didn’t want the topic to die down. She wanted to see if she could pick some cue
The day went by without any surprises till everyone sat to watch television after dinner at 6:45, this was the norm in the manor. Although this was the norm, today was different; different because the mental state of the three people seated in the room was not the same as every other day.On the surface it looked like a family of three enjoying a little downtime, however the waves surging underneath the calm exterior were far from calm, perhaps even using the word turbulent to describe the situation would be an understatement.Daniel narrowed his eyes as he thought about what despicable measures, he could use to force Chris to agree to divorce and speed up the process. He had already made arrangements to get a marriage certificate that was legal and valid as soon as the divorce was finalized even without Emile’s consent.However, Chris was proving to be a tough nut to crack. He couldn’t believe Chris didn’t have any intention of leaving Emile even though it appeared that she had betra
The stalemate between mother and son didn’t last long… as fate intervened in the form of entertainment gossip. On screen was a video of Chris entering the shopping mall with a female while the anchor in the background was excitedly raving about the upcoming nuptials that the whole country was looking forward to.Emile’s heart stopped beating for a minute as she turned her head to look at Chris Jnr with a shell-shocked expression “Is he getting married?”“Why wouldn’t he?” Chris Jnr smirked but before he could pacify his mommy as he saw the color on her face draining, he heard the door to Daniel’s study opening; he turned his head back to the idiot box and watched with an indifferent expression.Emile wanted to ask further but she was thrown back by Chris Jnr’s sudden change in aura. However, even before she could voice her confusion, she heard Daniel’s footsteps nearing the top of the staircase. She now understood what happened to her son and quickly tidied up her expression as well.
