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?”

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

He was glad to be out of hospital after been admitted for close to 2 weeks.2 days later, Emile and Abbey were discussing what to do with the rest of their plans as Christopher might not be able to fly for another few weeks while Night Wing was helping Christopher take a sponge bath.“Let’s keep up with the plan.” Christopher walked out the bathroom with Night Wing’s assistance. “I should be able to fly in another 5 days.”“No” Both Emile and Abbey rejected the plan without thinking.“We will rent a place and stay back for another month.” Emile told Christopher the plan they had just discussed.“No need.” Christopher refused to budge.“I am already back to normal except for not being able take a shower.” Christopher sat beside Emile “There’s really nothing much to do here and Abbey’s

    “Huh?” Emile raised her head to look at Christopher with a confused gaze.“Do you want to make it difficult for Mr Holston to find you or do you want to make it close to impossible unless you want it?” Christopher explained patiently.“Next to impossible.” Emile didn’t have to think “I don’t want anyone to find me before I decide to appear before them.”“Then forget about booking flights.” Christopher’s lips curled mysteriously “Leave the arrangements to me, okay?”“Alright” Both Emile and Abbey nodded without hesitation; neither had any reservations.Christopher called Night Wing to the side to give instructions while Emile and Abbey went to organize lunch. Night Wing was very efficient and meticulous in his work; he made all the required preparations by the time the trio finished lunch.

    Daniel didn’t speak to Chris Jnr on the way back; he sat sulking and occasionally giving him an annoyed look without realizing that his grievance was against a six-year-old. But the sentiments were totally lost on Chris Jnr who thought about it as ‘good riddance to bad rubbish!’Daniel didn’t want much… he just wanted his son to care… to ask how he was… whether he was hurt? He didn’t expect his son to do much but an excuse of helplessness to show he cared… but what he got in return was ignorant indifference.Chris Jnr feigned ignorance to Daniel’s sulking and kept staring out of the window as always; no one would suspect that a six-year-old was doing this on purpose, especially for a kid like Chris Jnr, whose norm was to sit quietly staring out the window.On the flight, Daniel wanted to warn Chris Jnr several times not to tell Emile about what happened, but he didn’t know how to; the awkward silence lasted till the duo reached home.

He would have to be a fool if he didn’t realize that the shadow guards were purposefully making it difficult for him, making it impossible to get to his boss’s side in order to facilitate the arrest proceeding smoothly. How could the shadow guards not know what their little miss wanted? How dare they allow even the slightest negligence?The only thing George could do was rush after police car, hoping to make it in time, at least avoiding his boss from being locked up. He was surprised to see Chris Jnr sitting quietly in the car, expressionless, without any intention of stopping/ interfering with the ruckus. Until now, he had assumed that Chris Jnr was still in class, unaware of the situation but what he saw in front of him turned his world view upside down. Shouldn’t the kid be concerned when his father was being beaten senseless? Even if he i

Emm pursed her lips with a helpless expression before she leaned closer and whispered in her brother’s ears "He's gone to help with the request from that president we met when we took daddy’s fancy plane.” “Eldest brother came back to keep me company.” Emm spoke with a bright smile as she knew what her brother was going to ask next.“Daddy was going to change his plans after you went with that bad father, but I didn’t let him.” Emm raised her chin proudly “I called Eldest brother so that I wouldn’t delay daddy’s important business.”“Little treasure is very sensible.” Chris Jnr had a doting smile as he tapped the tip of his little sister’s nose.Emm’s smile grew wider and brighter as she pointed her chin towards the sky; she was floating, her pride shooting to the skies after being acknowledged by

Are you???”“Che!!!” Marcus rolled his eyes as he increased his pace and kept 2 feet ahead of Neil.“Hey… wait for me… how can you claim to have me as a hostage if I run away?” Neil asked with a shamelessly smug face as he firmly believed his theory although his body was more honest, his legs kept up Marcus.“It’s here.” Marcus stopped at an inconspicuous spot and leaned against the wall casually, with his hands in his pocket.“Here???” Neil looked around at the unkept environment with disgust as he walked towards Marcus.Marcus took two steps hurriedly, keeping his distance away from Neil.“Why are you moving away?” Neil asked innocently as he

    “I will get Night Vigil to charter the trip to Uncle Neil’s place.” Marcus was about to get up when Emm pulled him back as she hit her forehead with an expression that was midway between helpless and ridicule “My dear eldest brother, where do you think my daddy’s appendages will be when he is in trouble?”“You mean ….” Marcus eyes widened “Uncle Neil is here…”Emm nodded with an all-knowing expression, but added “Not exactly… I mean they are not here, but they are at Royale Lux.”“Let’s go.” Marcus led the way whistling, without feeling even the slightest bit of embarrassment after being ridiculed by his little sister.“Why are you here?” Neil grumbled as soon as he saw Marcus, on opening the door.“And I am not alone.” Marcus chuckled as he entered, revealing Emm who was hiding behind him. Although Emm boasted shamelessly that she was going to charm Neil with her cuteness, she was still scared; she held onto Marcus’s shirt as she hid behind him and peeped cautiously towards Neil.“God

    The next morning as everyone sat for breakfast, Emm dialled Marcus-“Eldest brother…” She pouted as she called out in grievance as soon as he answered.“What’s wrong?” Marcus’s concerned voice came from the other end.“Nothing…um…um…” Emm sniffled as she shook her head.Chris stopped eating as he walked up to his little treasure and carried her in his arms and cuddled her; he didn’t need to ask to know what was wrong. His treasures had never been separated. He leaned forward and whispered, “Daddy is not going. Daddy will postpone the trip.”“But that is an important thing.” Emm blinked innocently.“Nothing is more important than my treasures.” Chris smiled reassuringly as he gently smoothed her back.“Eldest brother, little treasure is all alone and is not happy. Can you come to accompany me?” Emm blinked innocently as she spoke into the phone; she didn’t forget to complain “Big brother went with that bad man yesterday; he didn’t care about little treasure.”“Eldest brother will be the

    Chris Jnr sat silently starring out the window as they drove to the airport. Daniel tried to start a conversation with him many times, each time failing miserably.“Daddy will never give up on you like others… after all I am your biological father. Not everyone can replace me.” Daniel started the conversation once again, after boarding the flight.“Whatever.” Chris Jnr didn’t even spare him a glance as he looked outside the window once again.“I know you are feeling sad but don’t hold it in.” Daniel tried to comfort and at the same time, he didn’t forget to sling mud at Chris “Being a father is a big commitment, it’s hard for someone without any blood ties to hold on to such a commitment. Don’t blame him.”“Whatever.”“Your mother is already upset with everything that’s happened and feels really bad and guilty.” Daniel didn’t forget to brain wash along the way. How hard could it be to steer the thoughts of a six-year-old?“Don’t bring up the past and hurt her.” Daniel shrugged empathet

    “I don’t want to play word games with you...” Daniel huffed as he tried to rein his temper. What he really wanted to do was beat up the smug, insufferable man before him who thought he was king of the jungle. Wonder what Daniel would do if he knew that Chris would not even need one hand to beat him to a state that even his mother wouldn't recognise him? Wonder how colourful Daniel's face would be if he knew that Chris was not king of the jungle but he is the legendary Lord of the Night? However, as they say, ignorance is bliss and this was Daniel's current state.“Not that you’d win even if you tried.” Chris smirked “But I really can’t bear to keep looking at your obnoxious face any longer than I have to. So please, is there anything else?”“What could I want from you other than the divorce that my lover requested and our kids?” Daniel spoke with an extremely disgusted expression. Their disgust for each other was mutual.“Your kids??” Chris hooked his lips as he taunted “Does Mr Holsto

Didn’t you two like them?”“Not anymore.” Min turned his head resentfully while Lai-Li lowered her head.“What exactly happened?” Master asked anxiously “Is she in trouble?”“She is trouble.” Min grumbled refusing to speak.“Min had gone to take a look…” Lai-Li spoke in a downcast tone “She seems to have gone back to her ex. She is not with the youngest master Walter anymore.”“What???” Master asked in shock, before shaking his head in denial “Something is terribly wrong. It cannot be like that…. It won’t….”“I don’t want to believe it either.” Lai-Li pouted “But Min saw that man swaggering in and out of the ancestral house of the Walter after passing on Emile’s request for divorce.”“No… I need to check on them… something isn’t right…” Master tried
