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
Monday morning seemed to be a morning from hell for the Walter household with the phone bells ringing incessantly along with the first rays of sun. Mark and his brothers had just come back from their morning run when they heard the butler announcing to their father that there was an urgent overseas call. Adam came to the main hall area to attend the call while the men gathered around near him. The women were also alarmed since no one ever rang the landline number anymore. Eva had just walked down the stairs when she saw Adam’s fac lose color while holding the phone in a daze. Mark hurriedly took the phone from his father and spoke in his stead. “What’s going on?” Thomas asked in his usual calm manner. Eva stood on the stairs without moving as she concentrated all her senses on the conversation downstairs. She knew they wouldn’t tell her if she asked; this was the only way she could gather information. “Call Chris back.” Mark made the call. He turned to his father “Dad, it’s going
12 hours later, Chris’s flight touched down in Kathmandu. The Walter brothers (and brothers-in-law) hurriedly cleared customs via the VIP channel and hurried towards the site of accident. Rescue operations at the site was still underway with all team members rescued other than Darcy. Chris and rest soon received on updates from the rescue team. Chris and Lorenzo volunteered to replace two members from the rescue team considering how exhausted they were, with the operation having gone over 15 hours. Soon Chris and Lorenzo suited up along with Night Rider and Night Shadow and joined in active search. They decided to go and abseil further right from the point of the accident rather following the combing pattern followed by the rescue team. “I know how my brother’s brain works in an emergency” was Chris’s explanation to question raised by the rescue team as he continued his descend down, The rescue members didn’t argue with the cocky young master and decided to leave him to experience
Darcy was shifted to the private room in the VIP ward once he woke up about 3 hours after the surgery. Eric stayed back while the rest went to the hotel to rest. Eric stared at his second brother’s flawless face that even time couldn’t leave its impact and sighed regretfully. Eric noticed Darcy’s eyelashes fluttering as he was staring at Darcy without blinking. He jumped up and rang the alarm bell next to Darcy forgetting that he had already woken up once yesterday. “So noisy.” Darcy grumbled as he opened his eyes to stare at Eric. Neil along with his team of doctors had come running in response to the alarm and noticed the awkward atmosphere. Neil waited for a minute taking in Darcy’s response without going forward. “Who are you? Why do you look like a grown-up version of my fifth brother?” Darcy sat up wearily as he took in his surroundings. “Second brother???” Eric called out in shock and distress. “Who are you calling second brother?” Darcy wrinkled his pretty brows in disgust
Chris didn’t dare relax his vigilance even though he knew that Eva was immersed in her schemes and didn’t have time to stare at him. He still kept appearances with his shadow guard as they swapped identities and went on with the weekend rendezvous. The Walter brothers (and brothers- in-law), Adrian and Neil sat together in the study at Chris’s home base reviewing and collating all the information and POI. “Regarding Eva’s scheme, we now have conclusive evidence that Marcus is Second young master and Ms Kingsley’s son. We know how the plan came about as well but this hearsay. To close this file, we need evidence for how this was carried out.” Night Wing summarized. Night Wing “The other POI are Sheryl, Silas and Amanda.” “Amanda has currently retreated but her whereabouts are unknown.” Night Wing pursed his lips “She slipped while we were careless.” “Sheryl will not have the strength to come up with schemes in the short term. Boss has ordered the attack on the Shelby corporation. S
Emile’s end was not as chaotic as Chris’s. Other than the fact that she was getting heavier and the usual troubles of being six months pregnant, there was nearly nothing exciting. But that was until this morning. This morning was special as, as they were having breakfast, Raphael’s men bought back news. These were results from their investigation of university enrollments. The news that Raphael’s men bought back confirmed Emile’s intuition. Grace had indeed enrolled and completed her bachelors and masters in Archeology. However, there was no information after her graduation. “Shall I pass this information to Chris?” Raphael didn’t know what Emile wanted to do but he was impressed with her deduction. Honestly speaking, he didn’t hold much hope for her theory; he was just indulging her on behalf of Chris. “No” Emile shook her head “We haven’t found Grace. I want to find her.” “What do you have in mind?” Raphael no longer looked down on her ideas. She had earned his respect. “How abo
Chris and Emile didn’t have any difficulty sneaking out from under the watchful eyes of the press nor the guests…they had a genius son who had mapped everything to the dot for making their most important day picture perfect. It was so magical that both, Chris and Emile were afraid that it was a dream, and reality would kick in once they woke up; Both had to agree that it was better than what either of them could have imagined even in their wildest dreams.As they sat in the getaway car, Emile kept pinching Chris and asking him “Hubby, does it hurt?” while Chris kept answering “Wife, I am too excited to feel pain.” His answer wasn’t helping but there was nothing anyone could do, no one could understand their mental state unless they had been in the same situation.Once the excitement calmed down, Emile rested in Chris’s embrace with a blissful smile, her mind unwinding, relishing the mad rush or rather excitement from yesterday evening till the moment she saw Chris climbing into the ba
“I know you are married…” the man who answered previously spoke once again, the helplessness in his voice reverberating through the hall “but I have never seen you with Mrs Walter and I have always seen you with Ms Bell, who was your companion for banquets and social dinners. I have no reason to doubt your words when you introduced her this morning although it did seem a bit redundant.” He shrugged opening his palms upward.“No… no….no… this is all wrong…” Daniel shook his head in disbelief as he took a step back.“How can it be wrong?” Chris Jnr’s stern voice rang through the hall, loud and clear, filled with rage “Didn’t you like playing mind games?”“Can you not take it when you are on the receiving end?” Emm too asked in righteous anger; her mommy forgot her for 2 whole months.“You…. you bastard… you stole my wife…” Daniel roared without registering what Chris Jnr and Emm said and lunged towards Chris, who was standing with a relatively calm expression, although his brows were sl
Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnr’s arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.“Thank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.” Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didn’t even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.“It was our pleasure.” Several associates including Ron hurriedly joined
Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasn’t planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each other’s thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didn’t need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasn’t planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relatives
Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emile’s favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chris’s arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parents’ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind with
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldn’t be changed to another date.“Where’s Christian?” Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didn’t notice that Christian wasn’t with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t get a chance till now.“He went off with the Walters.” Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.“That bastard…” Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.“What’s wrong?” Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.“Nothing ….” Daniel shrugged be
“Senior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.” One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adam’s side.“Um…” Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him “Lead the way.” Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasure’s hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabeth’s care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didn’t expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasure’s subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;
The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.“Wow! That was so magical.” One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a man’s undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.A
“Mommy, you better take care of your man from here on…there's only so much a little girl can do…” Emm’s bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on “It was hard work, but we got him here for you.”Everyone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.“Uff….uff…” Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyone’s attention before he continued “As you have witnessed, our daddy’s journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommy’s blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and love….”The laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didn’t have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.“or whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
