Never to look back Where do I get the strength or courage to have anger?
Chris organized their return trip quietly as he promised his wife. He booked a private lunchroom with a kids play area and invited Grandpa Holston for lunch. Grandpa Holston couldn’t refuse even though he knew that he didn’t have face to face the young couple. Who asked them to have his precious great grandchildren? He could only thicken his skin and shamelessly accept the invite. Grandpa Holston wanted to arrive early as a sign of his apology to the couple, but he was once again defeated by Chris, who was waiting for him at the door to personally welcome him. “You’re here... ha.. ha ...” Grandpa Holston laughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. “The kids and Emile are waiting inside.” Chris smiled amicably without the slightest hint of alienation or resentment. “I forced them to stay inside to avoid the cold. I hope Grandpa Holston won’t blame them.” “What blame?” Grandpa Holston waved his hand dismissively, he let go of the feigned relaxed aura and lowered his head “I have

Finally, the big day that Michelle had awaited all her life arrived. The artists who were arranged for making her the most beautiful bride of the century arrived. She slowly changed into the wedding gown and sat down for the make-up artists to weave their magic. But her mind didn’t have the excitement of fulfilment of a dream but rather the dull ache of killing the last remnant of her soul that dared to dream of true love. She knew that with this step, she would forever deny herself that little bit of self-respect she had and felt helpless inwardly. Daniel wasn’t in any better state. He truly did not want to go ahead with today despite the shame it would bring considering it was truly the eleventh hour. In all honesty, he expected Emile to call him in a panic and beg him not to go ahead with the wedding. Cancelling the wedding for her was going to be his biggest act of redemption and indulgence for her but the call never came. Instead, he did receive gifts with blessings from both t

Daniel walked back to his room in a daze, clutching the USB, hoping with all his might that his guess was not true. He sat at his desk debating whether he should view or not. In the end, his curiosity got the better of him and he powered his laptop. The names of the folders in the USB were dates. Daniel opened the one with the oldest date out of curiosity as this was before his marriage to Emile. The date was closer to the time when he was in the second year of university. The files inside the folder were named intuitively. He opened the one with meeting. Inside the folder was a video file. It was a clip from the surveillance camera of his favourite hangout during his college days ‘Night flower’. This was not just his but also the favourite hangout place for all the youngsters from affluent families. There were six ladies in the room on the screen. He was familiar with the four of them. One of them was Michelle and the other three were Michelle’s close friends during her university

Daniel could guess what the rest of the folders contained, he didn’t know why but he couldn’t stop himself from clicking on them, once again in the chronological order of their name. The next folder contained two videos but both of them were a short file. Daniel clicked on it wondering what could be contained in a 5 min long video. The first one was the video of a meeting between Grandpa Holston and Michelle at a café near the old house. Michelle had arrived early and could be seen to talking to a staff at the counter and giving him a small packet of white powder and a wad of bank notes. Shortly after Grandpa Holston arrived. “Hello Grandpa Holston” Michelle had a very appropriate smile as she stood up to greet him. “Call me Senior Mr Holston. We are not familiar.” Grandpa Holston didn’t have his usual amiable aura but rather the majestic aura of when he ruled the Holson industries single-handedly. “Senior Mr Holston.” Michelle quickly changed her words, her smile only tightened fo

Daniel didn’t know how long he sat still for…. It was only when George came to wake him up for getting ready for his big day, did he realize that he had being sitting like this all night long. He stood up hammering his numb legs for a few minutes before combing his hair with his fingers and opening the door. “Boss, the makeup artists are about to arrive.” George stood dutifully at the door; He frowned as he looked at the sorry state his boss was in. “No need for anyone.” Daniel shook his head tiredly “Pay them and send them off.” “Is Grandpa up yet?” Daniel turned around as an afterthought and asked. “Yes. Senior master is in the pavilion doing his morning routine.” “I will go over.” Daniel didn’t bother to freshen up. He stepped out of the room and spoke without turning back “Bring us a pot of fresh tea.” Daniel’s mind wasn’t as calm as his face; it was churning with thoughts that had no direction. They swirled around like the cyclone, leaving nothing in its path and yet no clea

Daniel walked straight to the south wing where Michelle was getting ready. The house was slowly getting filled with friends and distant relatives who had come to bless the happy occasion. The south wing was the noisiest with all of Michelle’s acquaintances and friends joining in on the fun. Daniel reached the south wing but was denied access to the bride’s room. It was bad luck for the bride and groom to meet before the wedding. The bridesmaids teased and refused to give him access before one of them responded politely “Mr Holston, Michelle is in the middle of getting ready. It won’t be appropriate for you to go in now.” “SCRAM” Daniel roared without giving anyone any face; his temper was on the verge of exploding. Not only was he not in the mood for festivities but the happy vibes were like blatant taunts lashing out at him, mocking him for his stupidity and gullibility. The bridesmaids looked at each other in horror before opening a path for Daniel to enter; once Daniel passed thr

Ron came rushing to the old house after he received George’s panicked call saying something was terribly wrong with his boss. His steps paused as he saw Daniel seated at the dining table of his apartment, eating breakfast in a relaxed manner. “What the hell is going on with you?” Ron asked as he lazily took a seat next to Daniel and started to eat breakfast without waiting for anyone to welcome or serve him. “I just sorted a whole heap of stuff.” Daniel shrugged with a faint smile. “Oh! And by the way, I won’t be needing you as my best man as the wedding’s been called off.” “What??” The knife that was spreading butter, fell out of Ron’s hand. “Wedding’s off…. There won’t be a wedding.” “Why the sudden epiphany?” “I was already in two minds as I didn’t want to let Michelle down and also didn’t want to marry her as I no longer have any feelings for her. Grandpa gave me the results of his investigation which made my decision easier.” "I cannot believe how big a fool I have been...

Michelle knew that her past had caught up and all her schemes had been laid bare before Daniel and there was no future for them. She could see it in his eyes when he was questioning her. She knew how vengeful Daniel was and didn't want to stay and be at the receiving end of Daniel's anger. She had seen how brutally he treated Emile whom he loved; she didn't need to be a genius to guess what her fate would be if she stayed. She took all the jewellery that Daniel had given her on various occasions and left the house while everyone was in chaos from the news. She didn’t forget to take away the property certificates that she had tricked Daniel into putting in her name. Just because she ran away in the middle of chaos, don’t underestimate Michelle’s tenacity and presence of mind. Even if she ran away in a panic, she didn’t forget to pack away all her expensive luxury items, her designer bags, dresses and shoes, in short anything of value that could be exchanged for money that she had bough

Never to look back I will build my own destiny, like my daddy
“This has nothing to do with my daddy. We are the ones who bought our mommy back.” Chris Jnr stood tall as he crossed his arms and looked at Grandpa Holston in anger; Emm, too had the same expression, her face red with anger. If it was another occasion, everyone would have laughed looking at the 1-inch dwarfs who were protecting their daddy behind them. “Great grandpa…. didn’t….” Grandpa Holston couldn’t bear to see the accusatory anger in the eyes of his most precious great grandchildren; he could bear anything; he was ready to bear the curses of the whole world when he decided to close his eyes towards his grandson’s action, but he didn’t factor in his great grandchildren. “You know what you did.” Chris Jnr retorted without giving him any face; his daddy, mommy and little treasure were his bottom line. “I don’t think you want me to glorify it by spelling it out for you.” “Big treasure….” Chris called out, a restraining command in his tone. “Hymph!” Chris Jnr hmphed as he turned
Never to look back I had warned you out of respect for our father and the friendship of a generation
“The old master Holston is here.” The butler announced breaking Chris and Henry’s stalemate, “Can daddy’s big treasure go and play with the others?” Chris asked in a gentle voice. Big treasure pouted, clearly refusing to walk away as he knew what great grandpa was here for. He hesitated for a minute before resolutely shaking his head in refusal and ditching Chris for the first time since he was born and walked over to take a seat on the sofa all by himself, with his head held high and lips pursed stubbornly. Just as Chris was thinking about how to coax big treasure, he heard another set of tiny steps pitter pattering towards him; his heart literally sank as he turned around to face the culprit. He could face almost anything that life throws at him without batting an eyelid except for these two little ancestors…. He was bound to be at loss, every single time. “Is little treasure late?” Emm asked Chris Jnr worriedly, without sparing a glance at her daddy and unreliable mommy. “I hea

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. Henry who was complacent looking at the miserable fate of his brothers, got a rude wakeu

“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
Never to look back The empress didn’t become wiser
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
