Chris sat up as thought of the last update from Night Slide. He dialed Henry without hesitation.

“Hello” Henry picked up even before 2 rings went through.

“It’s Christopher.”

“I know.” Henry chuckled “Do you need tips on how to ease my sister’s temper?”

“No need.” Chris rolled his eyes “My wife, I can manage. However, I do need your help.”

“Um???”

“Are you able to create an illusion that Emile is home at the Burke residence?”

“Where is my sister?” Henry’s eyes narrowed; his playful aura was replaced with a baleful one.

Christopher didn’t take any offense; He explained the situation briefly without touching on the second brother’s issue.

“No problem.” Henry’s lips curled up in appreciation; this Walter was much to his liking; no wonder his sister took a fancy to him.

“Don’t hesitate to call on the Burkes if you need any assistance. We are family.” Henry didn’t hesitate to extend the olive branch.

“Thank you, big brother.” Chris smiled as he hung up.

Next, he messaged his fat

    Emile rushed downstairs as soon as Anne told her that Master Dupont had received the information she requested. “Madam, please slow down.” Anne rushed behind her worriedly. However, Emile didn’t pay any attention to her. “Monsieur” Emile walked in excitedly as soon as Raphael invited her to enter the study. “Um?” Raphael feigned ignorance as he lifted his eyebrows quizzically. “That… the information…” Emile couldn’t be bothered to be embarrassed; She blurted blushing. “Have you finished the designs I asked?” “Huh?” “The spring designs we talked about yesterday.” Raphael asked with an expressionless face. “Oh… no…” Emile lowered her head before raising her head hesitantly “Can I finish it tomorrow?” “No.” Raphael smiled wickedly “When you hand me your designs with one hand, I will hand over the information with the other. How about it?” Emile stood where she was pouting resentfully before stomping out of the room with a childish temper muttering that everyone was bullying her

  • Never to look back   Grace Kingsley (2)

    Life wasn’t smooth for either of them. Darcy wanted to tell his family, but Grace wanted to be able to stand on her own feet before telling his family. This was especially difficult for Darcy who never hid anything from his family. But for her, he was willing. As long as she was happy, as long as she was by his side, he would wait patiently for her to be comfortable for meeting his folks. He tried his best to reassure her that his family was not like the other families. But she wouldn’t bulge. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, she wanted to settle her vampire family members before announcing their marriage. She knew how greedy and insatiable her family members were. She didn’t want them to suck Darcy’s blood dry. She wanted to settle her folks comfortably before settling down herself. She couldn’t bring herself to cut off her relationship with them even though she knew of their materialistic love and unsatiable greed. She thought that once she brings them to settle comfortably the

  • Never to look back   You only live once, why not live to the fullest?

    Emile sat back with a heavy sigh; she didn’t even realize that she had tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been so engrossed in her reading, in Grace's life that she didn’t even register Raphael who came over at who knows what time and was currently sitting beside her reading. “How can anyone survive such an ordeal? Isn’t it tiring?” Raphael in all his wisdom couldn’t understand and concluded with a sigh, affirming his lifelong understanding of love “I was right… love is either fake or tiringly bothersome.” “I still don’t understand why you all flock towards it seeking death.” Raphael’s eyes revealed the confusion of a child, innocent and baffled. “Because….” Emile paused as she saw Raphael’s eyes looking over eagerly “it is the essence of life.” “You only live once, why not live to the fullest… like it mattered… leaving behind traces in the warp of time rather than living a long life that is safe and meaningless...” Emile shrugged. “You think my life is meaningless?” Raphael

  • Never to look back   What am I to you?

    “I believe I just figured out how to, or rather where to start looking for Grace.” Emile smiled brilliantly. Raphael’s lips curled up too… he had to admit, Emile’s spirit was infectious. “What do you need me to do?” “Can we look through all universities in the country offering courses in archaeology?” Emile thought for a moment and added “further away from our hometown and the university Grace studied at previously.” “Consider it done.” Raphael turned his head and nodded towards Danos. The rest of the day was spent discussing the designs that Emile handed over in the morning. Raphael was very impressed with the design; it sat well with the concept he had in mind. He discussed the ideas he had in his mind and asked her for imputs; the two modified their designs as they discussed. Raphael told her that they had to have the designs for 24 sets ready in 2 weeks so that Laura, who was responsible for getting the designs from paper to cloth, could have enough time for making and remaki

    “What’s bugging you?” Ron put his glass down as he stared straight at Daniel. “I really don’t know what to do.” Daniel pursed his lips as he filled his glass again “I know you all told me that Emile has moved but I can’t give up; I feel suffocated every time I think about it.” Ron listened silently without interrupting. “Then, there’s Michelle. I know she loves me, and I do have feelings for her. I feel like I owe her too much but …” Daniel sat back swirling his drink “But I just don’t know if I am ready to marry her.” “She had a show down yesterday.” Daniel downed his drink before continuing “She wanted me to give her a definitive answer within the end of the week.” “What else do you expect?” Ron spoke slowly “The lady regardless of what I think about her, has been following you for 10 years. She deserves an answer.” “I….” Daniel wanted to defend himself, but he didn’t know where to start. “Do you want to say that you love Emile now?” Ron raised his eyebrows and continued witho

    The Walter brothers were also extremely busy once they decided on a course of action. The official businesses under them were all transferred to their right-hand men. Sofia had eased into the role quicker than anyone initiated by the organization; even Chris was impressed. Within a week, not only did Sofia fully integrate with the core team at Shepherd’s but she also found out where the information was archived since the inception of the hospital which was a herculean task as the hospital had been in operation for more than 50 years. Lorenzo didn’t have to sweat much. He had the blueprint of the exact location for the information theft. The information the Walters were most interested in was the GenX lab that had long been closed. Neil’s investigation had revealed that Dr Nicholas Bentley was part of GenX lab although he wasn’t able to find out the projects or his role at the lab. Sofia had passed the keycard that she had swept from one of the security guards to Lorenzo’s men during

    “How did you know that the auction for the hitlist was placed by Sheryl?” Adam asked once they exchanged notes. “Uncle Adam, we followed your son’s plan.” Adrian laughed “Make a guess.” “Hacked into the auction house mainframe?” Lorenzo winked; it was a no brainer. Adam shook his head towards Lorenzo before speaking “Killed all the members of the ‘Guns and Snakes’ mob leaving behind the weakest link and the strongest link” his lips curled into a smirk as he continued “Then asked the question who the seller was.” “Once they divulged information, asked them to send a message to the seller and killed them.” Adam’s eyes revealed a killing intent “Am I right?” “Uncle …. you…. how?” Adrian was totally gobsmacked as not just the plan, but the process was also correct down to the ‘t’. Adam didn’t satisfy Adrian’s curiosity, the only response Adrian received was a smug smile. “But that doesn’t guarantee they didn’t lie about the seller or that the answer wasn’t preplanned to mislead” Pet

    Everyone dispersed to their residences after coming up with their next course of action leaving behind the two homeless guys, Darcy and Chris. No matter how anxious Darcy was to set the plan in motion, he couldn’t cheat his dear little brother of his opportunity to visit his wife. Chris devoted his weekends to be with his wife; everyone in the family knew about it. He was willing to make an exception for his second brother who had suffered unjustly for the last 20 years but his brother didn’t want him to. Darcy told him that he had waited 20 years, another 2 days delay to put the plan into action was not going to make any difference. Chris and Darcy sat chatting about the details of their plan before Chris too decided to ditch his brother so that he could see his wife earlier. He didn’t have to wait for night fall like the previous times. Chris dressed in an ordinary face mask along with Night Wing and Night Rider who had also changed appearances drove out of their home base and set

    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.

    “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

    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

    Emile felt a bit anxious as she entered the room with Chris’s and Neil’s masters. Although she knew them, she wasn’t very familiar with them. She looked towards Lai-Li with an anxious gaze; Lai- Li was the only person in the group whom she knew a little better.“It will be alright.” Lai-Li comforted in a gentle voice as she saw Emile’s gaze resting on her uncomfortably.“Master Walter’s mood might get agitated and that won’t help us.” She explained patiently as she saw that the concern in Emile’s gaze hadn’t dispersed. “Neil is not used to our world, and he will be in a daze and that will not help our cause as we will need to be quick.”Although Emile didn’t fully understand, she nodded. She had seen Chris do unbelievable things before, stuff that couldn’t be explained by logic and science alone.“It will be quick. Everything will be back to normal as soon as you wake up.” Lai-Li coaxed gently as she patted her hands while Emile’s lids gradually grew heavier and finally, she closed her

    “Daddy, little treasure is here.” Emm tugged Chris’s pants with grievance. She had been waiting patiently for daddy to coax little baby and carry her, but little baby had no intention of coming down.“Daddy’s little treasure is the most understanding treasure in the world.” Chris smiled as he knelt and carried Emm along with Bruno and headed to wait in front of the door.“Little brother, let me…” Darcy stepped forward extending his hands towards Chris with a sheepish smile. He wondered if he really was not cut out to be a good father; he was happily standing watching the drama unfold when Grace nudged him with a reproachful glare as she gestured with her eyes towards Bruno.“It’s okay.” Chris chuckled looking at Darcy’s embarrassment before turning his doting gaze towards his little treasure and then Bruno.Neither looked at him as they were both looking at the closed door with similar anxious expressions although the cause of their anxiety was different.
