Everyone dispersed to their rooms shortly after the elders left. The east wing of the house was occupied by Micheal’s family, the west wing reserved for Dorothy’s family, north wing was reserved for Adam’s family and south wing for Rebecca’s family.

In the middle of the night, a dark slender figure sneaked out from the main building and walked straight to the north wing. The figure paused for a minute as though making sense of the layout of the building and then stealthy walked over to the last room at the end of the corridor. The figure opened the door and walked in without the slightest hint of hesitation.

The muffled sound of a suppressed groan could be heard in the silence of the night; through the moonlight drifting into the room, one could be an outline of a restless man lying on the large mahogany bed. The slender figure got on the bed and hugged the man without a shred of reservation and whispered gently “Let me help you. Let me be your antidote.”

  • Never to look back   You will regret this.

    “GET OUT….GET OUT… ALL OF YOU….” Silas roared furiously glaring at his half cousins. “Isn’t this my room?” Chris quirked his eyebrow keeping his cool “Shouldn’t you be the one to leave?” Silas glared at Chris without responding. ‘How could he be bold enough to leave the room without a single strand of cloth on?’ Sheryl stared pitifully at Chris, her eyes misted and lips quivering, hoping to catch his attention and justify herself. Wanting to wash herself clean of the filth she has been smeared with, but he didn’t even give her a side glance. “Why are you glaring at me?” Chris taunted “Have you suddenly realized that I am much handsomer than you?” “You … get out!” Silas gritted his teeth. He would be a fool not to know that he had been played by his half-cousins. He would settle this account slowly; right now, all he wanted to do was get himself dressed and out of this room. “This is my room. Why should I get out?” Chris shrugged indifferently and pretended to head to the sofa o

  • Never to look back   What really happened?

    Adrian settled the Walters before going off to settle other matters even though he was dying to know what triggered a mass walkout. Royale Lux was one of Montague chain of hotels and a world of luxuries in its own right. Of the 25 floors, the top floor was Adrian private space; the top floor had 3 penthouses, each complete with everything including a state-of-the-art private gym and swimming pool with sauna. In addition, the top floor also had a common kitchen, living and dining area that could sit around 25 guests. The owners of the other 2 penthouses didn’t have to spelled... they were Chris and Neil. The next four floors down were presidential suites; Each floor had 5 suites along its own kitchen, dining area, gym and swimming pool with sauna. In short, each floor with presidential suites were designed to exist as a world of luxury comforts on its own. Chris’s family were organized to stay in the top two floors of presidential suites. Abbey was staying with Emile in the guest roo

  • Never to look back   I will guard your treasure with my life, to the end of my life.

    “Something on your mind?” Adrian raised his eyebrows eyeing the pensive look on Chris’s face. “Do we have a mole in our midst?” Chris pursed his lips as he weighed his words. “Huh?” Not just Neil and Adrian, even Night Wing and Night Rider were taken back. “Sheryl seems to be well abreast of my whereabouts.” Chris sat back twisting his lips; he narrowed his eyes as he sifted through the people around him since he started on this trip chasing Emile. “What makes you say that?” Adrian tapped the armrest as he knitted his brows. “During the dinner, she asked me about my trip to Mauritius and whether I would recommend the place?” Chris rolled his eyes “Apparently she wanted to get a review before planning her trip.” No one spoke. Chris continued after a few minutes “She knew the exact trajectory of our trip thus far.” “That’s scary.” Neil twitched with a disgusted expression “Considering she was never on our radar.” “Oh, she was” Night Wing nodded with a disdainful smirk “Just wasn’

  • Never to look back   My grandson, I decide who he marries.

    “Stop right there….” Grandpa Walter’s thunderous roar cut through the blissful atmosphere interrupting Adrian’s introduction. Adrian paused, turning to look at Chris; Chris gestured him to stand down. He wanted to see how low his grandpa could stoop. He wanted to be able to give up on the last straw of familial entanglement. He squeezed Emile’s hand and gave her a comforting look. “Senior Mr Walter, what’s the problem?” One of the reporters that he brought along with him asked seeing that no one took his bait and didn’t respond to his previous outburst. “I don’t approve of this wedding.” “This is a free society; the groom and bride are both of the legal age where the law permits them to exercise free will.” One of the guests spoke out in justice. “My grandson, I decide who he marries.” Adam was about to retort when he was stopped by Elizabeth who gestured him to look over to Chris. Chris shook his head restraining him from speaking. “He is betrothed to wed my partner’s granddaug

  • Never to look back   I will be jealous if you keep staring at other women even if they are clowns.

    "Why would I want to do something senseless?" Superintendent Registrar’s lips curled in ridicule “Why would I want to ask for objection of a registered union?” “Regis… Registered????” Grandpa Walter stuttered as he stepped back; he raised his head to level gaze with the Superintendent Registrar and asked in a voice that lost all its vigour “Registered Union?” “Looks like Senior Mr Walter is not very popular at home.” Superintendent Registrar spoke lightly as he sat down calmly not bothering with Senior Mr Walter anymore. Although he didn’t agree with the old man’s judgement and methods, he still felt sorry for the man who stood in front of everyone like a clown. Anyone with a little bit of sense would know who the better choice between Miss Burke and Miss Shelby was. Not just Senior Mr Walter, even the Walters and the Burkes were shocked, but they soon calmed down. To the Burkes, it was an a testament of Chris’s intelligence, foresight and commitment to Emile, they were convinced

  • Never to look back   Who is the culprit?

    Going back in time, to when Chris had finished answering the call with Eric 2 days ago- “What’s wrong?” Emile walked up to Chris and hugged him as she saw his taut expression once he came back after the call. She had noticed that he had stayed outside for a while even after he finished the call. “Would you want to marry me regardless of our family’s acceptance?” “Yes” “Then, shall we go and get married today?” Chris asked cautiously. “We do have the permit to register as of yesterday.” Chris added seeing that Emile didn’t respond. “We can still have the reception day after tomorrow as planned.” Chris was feeling anxious with every passing minute. He felt like he was going to be robbed of his dream after it was given to him at arm’s length. “Puchi…” Emile giggled mischievously “Why are you anxious?” “Why are you not responding?” “You didn’t give me a chance.” Emile shrugged smiling “Let’s go. It doesn’t matter if it’s one day before or after.” Chris and Emile didn’t dawdle any

  • Never to look back   Did you forget who initiated the whole mess?

    Sheryl wandered around the streets like a lost soul in a daze after she left the reception venue; she struggled with every ounce of her willpower to hold it together till she sent Grandpa Walter off. She had no idea how she had reached this stage. She had planned every step meticulously; done everything meticulously and yet she lost…. Lost miserably to an abandoned woman! Sheryl couldn’t accept the fact that Chris chose Emile over her. She wanted to belittle Emile by saying that the only reason Chris chose her was because she had the Burke industries backing her, but she knew better. She knew something that even Grandpa Walter and the others didn’t know; she knew that he was the mysterious boss of the most promising business empire, Evergreen heights. He didn’t need to rely on backing; he didn’t even rely on his father’s backing, the backing of Walters Empire which held the economic lifeline of almost every country in the continent; not even when he was starting his venture. How co

  • Never to look back   I know where your ex-wife is.

    Burkes residence at the same time was lively and full of joy. Chris and Emile finished recounting everything that happened in the past two days that led them to make the decision to get married earlier when Adam and rest of the Walter mob arrived. “Dad, why are you here?” Chris asked in surprise as he saw the guests that had just arrived. “I invited them so that we can have a get together before you guys fly out.” Matthias laughed without giving Adam a chance to respond. The older men sat in the formal lounge while the younger generations walked into gaming area with the pool table; the women went upstairs to gossip, when it comes to gossip, there was no generational gaps for the Burkes, this suited the Walter women as well. Veronica updated the Emile and the Burke women about the gossip that went on in the Walter house. She liked this sister-in-law of hers who was neither servile nor overbearing, just the right amount of arrogance that sat well with her taste. “Oh dear” Agatha si

  • Never to look back   We will set everything right after this wedding.

    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

  • Never to look back   Hubby, must you marry tomorrow? Can we not?

    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

  • Never to look back   I am supposed to be the responsible adult.

    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

  • Never to look back   How can we attend without an invite?

    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

  • Never to look back   Did godmother just get sold by my little treasure?

    “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

  • Never to look back   Do you believe if I told you that I will throw you out the window if you make another noise?

    “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

  • Never to look back   Who are you calling trouble?

    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

  • Never to look back   Missed me so soon?

    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
