Nothing a good bottle of ink can’t solve.

The dinner ended on a high note with Eric balancing the strained ambience with his witty rejoinders although Elizabeth didn’t achieve her goal. She wanted to get back to topic several times but was pushed back even before she could start either by Adam or Mark.“Your mom is never really going to accept me!” Emile sighed as she leaned into Chris’s embrace on their way back home; the sadness in her eyes could not be hidden, even under the cover of darkness.“Whether she accepts or not is her problem.” Chris wasn’t too concerned. The truth was that he wasn’t too keen on getting his mom’s approval. Perhaps it was because of the way his young mind was impacted by the influence her meddling had on Darcy’s life. Don’t put it down as he wasn’t even past the age of a preschooler when that incident happened; young minds are more observant and alert especially those of exceptionally talented ones like that of Chris.“She is her and I am me…” Chris continued as he saw that her mood was still low.

Mommy, someone stuck his head in vinegar jar.

That night the busiest person was Abbey; She knew the cravings of the audience for the background of her previous articles. There was a huge fan base following for the travel diaries of two ladies who travelled anonymously and how they found the love of their life during these travels. Her boss had told her that most of the letters they received was urging them shed light into the circumstances that led to the ladies requiring to travel incognito.Sam had told her that he was even approached by other magazines wanting to buy the article with the backstory at a high price but at that stage they didn’t have that intention but now, the more coverage they got would, the better it would be for their cause although they were confident in winning the court case, public opinion can be a scary fact especially for the kids who might not have an adult with them all the time.Abbey decided to give Sam a ring to check if he had any contacts or ideas to increase coverage. The two plotted for the ear

Is it the truth that matters or the people involved???

FreeSpirit’s updates were uploaded daily over the next three days without fail. FreeSpirit remained true to the intent of accurate depiction of the young heiress journey. The second edition told the incidents that led to the marriage that could portray as fulfillment of one’s fantasy; she described the hopes and qualms that churned in the young heiress’s mind without fallacy, neither glorifying nor demeaning… just her thoughts.Her excitement at being able to wear the wedding dress for the man she adored; her apprehension at what the future holds, wondering if this marriage would lead to something wonderful… fulfillment of her unrequited love or…. FreeSpirit didn’t sanctify her intention… she reported honestly the darkest desire of the young heiress's heart to make this marriage a lifelong commitment rather than the 6-month contract.The life that followed… sharing the wedding home with her husband’s lover…. having to live in the guest room while her husband and lover shared the master

It will take a lot of courage to bare one’s soul in public.

Emile was probably the only person who wasn’t impacted by the article; She had lived through it which was a hundred times worse than what Abbey had written… but the other reason was she didn’t read the article. She trusted Abbey, she didn’t have to read to know what she wrote.She wondered why her husband and kids weren’t in the lounge area waiting for her as usual when she came back from work; but she didn’t waste time wondering, she turned to Jeffrey “Where is everyone?”“Boss is with the children in their bedroom.” Jeffrey responded as he hanged the coat and hat that Emile had handed over.“Um” Emile nodded with a quizzical pout, but she didn’t question Jeffrey any further. She walked towards the children’s room; ‘Why bother the poor butler when she could get the answer from the horse’s mouth?’Emile opened the door and stood still watching the serene scene in the room, savouring the beauty of the scene in front of her. Chris was sitting with his eyes closed on the rocking chair wit

I haven’t had so much excitement since the day I was born.

Chris’s place became much livelier than the gloom and doom expected from the stress in the week leading up to the court case with the Burke brothers deciding to stay back till the court case was finalized. All they needed to do to implement the change in plans were to make a call. Henry called his father and heartlessly dumped the reins of running the Burke industries on him before he and his brothers called their wives to update them with the change in their plan; they originally only planned on a flying visit to make sure their little pearl was alright before flying back the same day.The ladies of the Burke clan too decided to follow their men with the kids once they were made aware and they heartlessly left the old men to fend for themselves and manage the company. Luckily for the old men, their women decided to stay back and help under the condition that they would go over the day before the case began.Addison and Eric had an arrangement between themselves, more of a pact made up

Mr Walter, please return my wife and children (1)

The next morning, Chris and Emile were the last ones to wake up and come downstairs. It was a miracle that they slept in this long considering the noise downstairs. Chris Jnr and Emm had woken up in the morning and went for a run as per their norm before crawling back into bed to snuggle with mommy and daddy.The only difference was usually daddy would accompany them for the morning run but this morning, daddy feigned ignorance to their prodding no matter how they poked him. They could only ditch their daddy who was feigning sleep and go on with their day. Luckily big brother wasn’t as heartless as daddy and was waiting for them along with their Burke brothers and sisters.The younger generation of Burkes didn’t have this habit considering they were all still young, but they got up for the sake of excitement. Miles, Penny and Vincent too joined the mob soon after Chris Jnr and Emm joined them.“Why is everyone up so early?” Emile asked with a sheepish smile as she noted that everyone w

How can I raise an objection to a universal truth?

“Your Honor, regardless of the grounds on which the parents got together and later separated, the children belong to both parents. The children have the right enjoy the care and love of both parents. My client has been denied the right to even the knowledge of the existence of his children.”“Defence council” Judge Bianchini turned to Thomas with a quizzical gaze.“How can I raise an objection to a universal truth?” Thomas laughed as he stood up “But I do have a genuine dilemma.”“Oh???” Judge Bianchini raised his eyebrows while Danzel had an irritated expression. He knew Thomas too well to know that this was not a genuine question but rather the basis of the trap that he was laying out for them to naively crawl into.“What gives one the right to being a father? Accidentally planting the seed, ordering destruction when not convenient and claiming rights once all the difficulties are passed? Or…” Thomas paused with a thoughtful and yet confused expression “Does it come with nurturing an

Gain without pain???

“I concur.” Judge Bianchini nodded as he turned towards Thomas “Unless Defence council has something to prove otherwise.”“Your Honor, I would like to submit exhibits P1 which is a court order from the country that Mr Holston is a citizen of and one that my client resided in while she married to Mr Holston.” Thomas paused before continuing-“However, before submitting that to public, I would like to display exhibits Q1, R1 and S1 as my background evidence for exhibit P1 so that my client will not be accused of misusing either her maternal home clout or her current one.”The clerk projected the exhibits in the order Thomas requested after receiving a nod from Judge Bianchini.On screen was the living room of the Emile and Daniel’s wedding room. Michelle stood next to Daniel crying that she didn’t want to be a stepmother and that Daniel had broken his promise by letting Emile become pregnant. In the background was a pale Emile who had been throwing up non-stop and weakly refuting the acc

No one will take my treasures from me.

Danzel cleared his throat as he stood up, he would have preferred to run without looking back but that wasn’t an option here.“Your Honor, my client is aware and remorseful of his past actions.” Danzel didn’t have the confidence to look at Judge Bianchini “His plea is for a chance, a second chance to make up for his past, a chance to make amends to his kids, a chance to be better.”“Defence council”“Your Honor, I repeat my previous question seeking the court’s benevolent judgement.” Thomas smiled “Who would the court deem suitable to be a father, one who refuses to accept responsibility and forces the mother to have abortion or the one who convinces and supports the mother to give birth and cares for them?”“I would also like to respectfully ask, is the responsibility of nurturing of a child, one that deserves to be gambled with, keeping in mind that children are the future our country?”“May I ask the court who will be responsible if the child loses the shade of a parent who loves an

Did the face smacking feel good?

“Madam, would you like to comment on today’s verdict?” Reporters crowded around Emile even before she had a chance to leave the court room. Chris who had just walked over to Thomas frowned visibly as he gestured Night Wing to clear the reporters away. However, even before Night Wing could take a step forward, Emile who was standing with her and Chris’s sisters-in-law (and sisters) opened her mouth with a smile “Justice is served.”“Madam, we were called here today by your ex-husband for observing and broadcasting the court proceedings.” One of the reporters who felt sorry for Emile after witnessing everything at the court proceedings and decided to come clean “I didn’t expect the truth to be so far from what we were led to believe. I am sorry but I promise to report everything I witnessed today truthfully, if you permit.”“And if I don’t?” Emile chuckled lightly.“I will respect your choice.” The reporter responded a graceful smile.“Won’t you be in trouble with your editor?” Emile rai
