2023-09-15 18:30:48Emile was discharged from hospital 2 days later. Abbey was waiting patiently for Emile to get back before hounding her to make up for lost time. The ladies spent the next day indulging in beauty salons while Christopher busied himself with all the work that had piled up.
The next day, they gathered on Emile’s balcony for breakfast. They had stayed here for close to a month and wanted to plan what and where to go next.
“I need to finish 2 more assignments before stretching my legs.” Abbey opened the conversation once everyone settled in with their breakfast.
“How many do have to finish?” Emile grumbled.
“This trip seemed to be an oasis of a travel blogger.” Abbey smiled happily “Most of the snippets we sent were selected by the editorial board.”
“The flipside is” Abbey scrunched her lips “I have to write up.”
“What about you?” Abbey pointed the spear at

Emile looked in awe and admiration at the back of the man that stood tall in front her, shielding her from the world. Being shielded from the wind and rain… this was a feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time… her eyes were filled and nose sour even though she tried to put on a brave front.Christopher had no idea what was going on through Emile’s head at this moment; He would have been elated if he knew; only heavens knew how much he wished to see this expression on her face towards him. But at this moment, heavens had no intention of indulging him. He was busy trying to keep them both alive and not get hurt.In normal circumstances, Christopher wouldn’t even blink in the fight with people of this level of skill even if the ratio was 2 times that of what he was currently facing. But today, with Emile in the mix, he was flustered and easily distracted. However, none of this seem to affect the stars in Emile’s eyes.She had kno

Emile thought back to the first time she saw Christopher. She was surprised she could clearly remember him, wearing their university basketball team uniform which was a white with red border T-shirt and shorts. The T-shirt had a bunch of Maple leaves logo on the left side.“Hi, I am Christopher. Mind passing me the ball?” He had a sunny smile as he asked, running up to her. She still remembered looking mesmerized like a fool as Christopher pointed at the ball at her feet “Ball…”“Oh… ball…. ha….ha….” Emile let out a hollow laugh to hide her embarrassment.“He looks delicious.” Abbey giggled next to her after Christopher ran off with the ball. Although he didn’t forget to turn back to look at them a few more times. Their chance encounters over the next 3 years were one too many to be chance now that Emile was looking back. Even so, he was always an absolute gentleman, never making her uncomfortable or crossing boundaries by taking liberties. Their several encounters during her universi

Emile stayed back to take care of Christopher while Abbey left the hospital in the evening promising to come back in the morning.Emile had no idea how she spent the night. After undergoing the sterilization process required to stay in the ICU, Emile stayed by his side…. talking to him…. reflecting on their encounters out loud.... telling him how she regretted not realizing how much he meant to her while she had the chance…. begging him to wake up…. begging him to give her a chance.Abbey arrived early the next morning with breakfast. Emile wasn’t in the mood to eat regardless of how much Abbey compelled her.“How do you plan on looking after him if you don’t have the strength?” Abbey asked in exasperation, not being able to convince her to eat even one mouthful.“I …I…. I am not hungry.” Emile shook her head.“My dear girl, please eat something.” Abbey begged “What will I do if you fall as well?”“Then, who should I take care of? you or him?” Abbey reasoned without giving up.

Emile knitted her brows and as she raised her head to look at Christopher in confusion.“What if Daniel comes back? What if he wants to be together with you?”Her affection for Daniel was no secret. Everyone who knew them knew about it; he also knew about the price she paid for it.“I take my life very seriously.” Emile stared intently at Christopher as she spoke “So my choices are never made on a whim.”“Despite how I come across or how others perceive me, I am a very stubborn person.” Emile continued without hesitation “I never look back, nor do I hold others accountable for my choices.”“I hate myself for saying this… but…” Christopher shrugged “I would detest myself if I didn’t.”Emile tilted her head encouraging him to speak.“Do you think Daniel hates you?” Christopher started to reason, ignoring the heartache he was feeling.Emile knitted her brows as she seriously considered the question “Maybe not.”“Actually, he likes you.” Christopher lips twisted uncomfortably “It’s just th

Christopher’s recovery speed was astonishing to the medical team even though they put it down to Dr Barr’s exceptional skills. Although Dr Barr staying back to treat Christopher did surprise everyone, they were genuinely happy to bask in his glory and learn from him.“Son, you are good as gold as long as you care of the wound and not get re-infected.” Dr Barr laughed happily after he finished a thorough examination 3 days after Christopher woke up.“Thank you doctor.” Emile was relieved to see the clean bill of health.“Son, can we talk?” Dr Barr coughed to hide his embarrassment.“Sure.” Christopher looked at the medical team and requested “Please excuse us.”Emile was about to walk away when Christopher held her hand “Except her”All the doctors and Abbey walked out.“Speak”“Son…” Dr Barr cleared his throat while Christopher waited patiently.“Can you ask your assistant to give me back my passport?”“Huh?” Emile was shocked as looked from Dr Barr to Christopher.“Did he?” Christoph

Once the identity crisis was over, Abbey eased up and went back to being her old self although she decided to ignore Night wing.“What exactly happened?” Abbey asked Christopher. Although she knew the gist of what happened, she didn’t know the details. Emile wasn’t in the state to speak coherently when it happened and then, they were both on edge, that it until now.“I decided to follow Emile and when I caught with her, she was being surrounded by some thugs and then this happened.” Christopher pointed to the dressing on his waist.“Did anyone ever tell you that you are a terrible storyteller?” Abbey rolled her eyes. She had gathered this much info from Emile’s incoherent mumblings.Emile took on the narration, describing everything that happened animatedly; now that Christopher was fine, she was well composed and calm. Christopher leaned back against the head rest as he looked at Emile who was sitting beside him with a doting gaze. He could openly admire the girl who had occupied his

It had been almost 2 months since Emile's departure; life should have gotten back on track for Daniel and Michelle, and yet there was an uncomfortable stiffness which neither openly admitted.Daniel was mostly in a state of confusion, unable to accept that his feelings for Emile had changed without him realizing and Michelle clouded with her insecurities that stemmed from the realization that Daniel’s feelings for her were no longer the same as they were 3 years ago.Initially when Daniel and Emile had just gotten married, all he had was a good impression of Emile. Although Daniel indulged her and was often manipulated by her into carrying out intimate scenes in front of Emile, he still respected her and admired her integrity for keeping her word despite their provocation.He had even reminded her that they should avoid aggravating her since they were both taking what they needed. But Michelle always conveniently forgot and would later pretend to be aggrieved that she was overcome by

While Emile and Christopher were having a sweet time nurturing their relationship and Christopher’s wounds, Daniel was not in high spirits. Grandpa Holston had been hospitalized in a critical condition for the last 15 days and was just transferred from ICU to private ward. However, he still couldn’t cheer himself up. He was definitely happy and relieved his Grandpa was fine; his restlessness was related to Emile who had left him for more than 2 months. He felt stifled by the thought that she was no longer his. Even though he never accepted it in front of anyone, he had realized that he started loving Emile. Emile was no longer a partner with mutual benefits for him. He missed her gentle smile and infatuated gaze ever since she left the villa after divorce. No, that wasn’t true. He had missed it ever since Michelle came back 8 months ago. He was only fooling himself that he loathed her. Most of his anger came from his guilt towards Michelle. In his own twisted way, he felt that Emile

Never to look back What will we do if he does something to mommy?
“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
Never to look back His grievance is no longer righteous.
“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
Never to look back My son is very capable. Don’t underestimate his abilities.
“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
Never to look back Is your father getting married?
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

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.
