I gave him more credit than he deserved.

Emile had no idea why she was feeling tired even though she had rested in the afternoon, she felt sleepy soon after dinner and couldn’t stop yawning.“Emile, why don’t you go and sleep?” Grandpa Holston smiled as he saw her struggling to stay awake; she looked extremely adorable as she struggled to stop yawning as she didnt want to appear rude.“I haven’t seen grandpa in such a long time.” Emile pouted as she sat holding his hand, refusing to let go although she was still yawning “I want to chat with grandpa for a little longer.”“Be good… go rest.” Grandpa Holston coaxed in a gentle voice, as though he was talking to a young child “You can talk to grandpa any time you want. Don’t spoil your body by being tired.”Emile hesitated for a few minutes before she gave in and went upstairs to rest. Grandpa Holston watched her walking upstairs with a heavy heart. He didn’t want to cheat his Danton’s treasure who wholeheartedly treated him as her own grandfather… but… this was his grandson’s

I hope we never meet after tomorrow.

Emile woke the next morning feeling much more relaxed than she was feeling the day before. She greeted Daniel warmly as they sat for breakfast. Daniel had a reminiscing expression on his face as he watched the cheerful Emile; it seemed like they had gone back to the time when they were slowly falling in love with each other, a few months after Michelle left.“Um??” Emile blushed as she quirked her eyebrows; she felt embarrassed by Daniel’s hot gaze.Daniel shrugged; a gentle smile hung on his face.“Is there something on my face?” Emile pouted “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Why can’t I look at my wife?” Daniel decided to be shameless; he also wanted to test the waters.Emile didn’t know how to respond to such shamelessness and turned her face with a ‘Hymph’"Where's grandpa?" Emile asked as she noted that Grandpa Holston had not come down for breakfast which was contrary to her memory. In her memory, Grandpa Holston had always insisted on having meals together whenever they ha

How could I dare to deny my wife?

Daniel had no intention of keeping Emile locked, probably because he was too conceited; whether it was his plan or the love that Emile had for him or the location he chose to hide till things normalized, in his mind they were all fool proof. He had no reason to restrict Emile’s movements.Carl’s words echoed in his mind; the best way for her to accept this as her reality was to mingle the chaos in the mind with freedom, giving her the impression that as long as she wants to do it, she was free to do it. Restricting her would give strength to the doubt in her mind whereas freedom would tug at the existing chaos without making sense, gradually fading to an unattended corner, and finally to be dismissed.In the evening, he took her for a stroll at the beach and to the night markets that would spring into life every evening, bustling with activity. Daniel wasn’t particularly interested in these cheap stalls, but he knew Emile liked them as he had read about them in Abbey’s travel memoirs.

Signing up for this job, you didn’t think you were being god’s angel, did you?

Daniel and Emile had dinner in silence before Emile excused herself by saying she was tired and went upstairs to sleep. Daniel waited for about an hour before going upstairs. If she was awake, he planned to tell her that he came check up on her, to see if she was comfortable or needed anything. If she was asleep, he intended to play the hypnotic byte that Dr Burkhart had instructed. If all went well, then tonight was the last time he would have to play it.Emile was fast asleep when Daniel entered; he quietly walked over to her bedside and watched her. She wasn’t sleeping peacefully, it seemed like she was tormented by her dreams. He stretched out his hand to smooth out the knot between her brows but hesitated and pulled back. He didn’t want to risk walking her up. He played the music and sat for an hour before quietly leaving the room.Emile was woken up the next morning by the loud screeching of car tires. Well, it wasn’t exactly morning, more like early afternoon. She didn’t know wh

No one is more important to me than you.

Emile hurried downstairs with an embarrassed smile; if she could have her way, she would rather not see anyone considering how long she slept for…but she was hungry, her stomach was rudely protesting and there was nothing she could do about it other than going downstairs and eating her fill.“Good morning, Madam.” The butler stood in attention as he greeted her, turning a blind eye to her embarrassment.“Morning” Emile whispered, her face turning pink as she lowered her head and made a beeline for the dining table.Carl and Daniel had finished her argument and reached a consensus and walked over to the dining table.“How are you feeling?” Carl asked as he took a seat opposite Emile.“I don’t feel any different.” Emile shrugged as she sipped her coffee “How long before you give me a clean bill?”“Let me give you another check after you finish breakfast.” Carl smiled amiably “That should be the last of our association.”“Great” Emile clapped her hands happily before smiling awkwardly “No

I never want to go through that again.

Daniel eyes darkened as he saw the medicine bowl still sitting untouched at the bedside table when he went in the evening to call Emile for their evening walk. He feigned a helpless expression as he walked towards her bed and sat beside her.“Wife, why are you acting childishly?” Daniel lifted his hand to gently caress her face but she hmphed and turned away from him. She wasn't being pretentious; she was truly angered by the man in front of her. 'He wanted to abort her child, what right did he have?'“Wife, I don’t want to do it any more than you do. It is after all my child too.” Daniel sighed with a pained expression; no one could find any flaws with his expression, even if they tried.“But you are more important to me. I cannot bear to have anything go wrong with you. These past few years, only I know how I survived. I could see you at arm’s length but couldn’t see your smile or voice…. It was worse than killing me… I never want to go through that again.”One could hear the hearta

What face do I have to ask their forgiveness?

Elizabeth’s eyes misted, all the thoughts in her heart overflowed as tears through her eyes, instead of words through her mouth.Adam couldn’t bear the sight of his beloved, who had lost a lot of weight and looked miserable; no matter how he steeled his heart, he couldn’t bear to see her in such a state and regardless of what he was planning, his steps involuntarily walked towards her and embraced her, coaxing her in a gentle voice. However, his actions resulted in the obtaining the exact opposite of what he wanted; she cried even harder.“Mom, are you going to keep us outside?” Mark asked with a feigned chuckle in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere as he saw all his siblings were feeling uncomfortable.“Come…. Come in…” Elizabeth hurriedly pushed Adam away in embarrassment and stepped away from door; she had lost all face in front of her kids.“This…” Elizabeth hesitated as she noticed the elderly woman beside Adam; she had just noticed the woman who carried the aura of a queen, sit

Don’t let your thoughts run wild.

“I will go and pack up.” Elizabeth knew that no point in asking further as she saw Bridgette standing up, indicating end of conversation.“I will….” Adam scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.“Mom doesn’t know how to pack her bag and dad wants to help.” Eric teased with a heartless smirk, sitting comfortably under his grandmother’s protection.‘So, this is how it felt to be lawless under grandmother’s protection…’ Eric’s lips curled up in a smug arc as he thought inwardly. ‘No wonder Silas always acted lawless. It felt really good to be protected against his father’s seasoned reflux response to his antics.’Darcy raised his eyebrows as he diverted his gaze towards his elder brother; Mark shook his head with a helpless smile gesturing to ignore him. He could guess what his silly brother was thinking, especially looking at his silly smile.Eric didn’t realize that his smugness had turned silly, and his elder brothers were laughing at him inwardly; even Diana couldn’t stand her

Why should a small poison stop us?

Emile sat up, wide awake with a pensive gaze, looking in the direction that Daniel left, a few minutes after he left the room. She exhaled in relief although her facial expression didn’t loosen. She couldn’t understand why the husband who loved her so much would want to kill their child, a child that had yet to see the world.Luckily for her, she had heard the conversation between Daniel and Dr Burkhart. She had returned to ask Daniel what their evening plans were when she heard Daniel ask Dr Burkhart about what to expect following her drinking the medicine. Although she knew that it was not honourable to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, she stood hidden behind the curtain as she listened in on their conversation.She definitely knew what Dr Burkhart said was not entirely true as she had seen the effects on her colleagues who took pills for abortion purposes. But all the same, she decided to follow his explanation as she didn’t want to go through the trouble of finding so muc

My charm wasn’t as great as the cheque my grandpa wrote.

Chris however didn’t notice the playful disdain on Night Wing’s face. He was in a world of his own; his memories wound back to the time that he and Emile had gotten reacquainted, as he played with the windcatcher in front of him.Although it was many moons ago, he still remembered it like yesterday; he didn’t have many hopes when he chased after the girl, the girl he liked for more than ten years, hearing the news of her divorce and her impromptu departure from their hometown. What worried him was the fact that his men informed him that there was no return ticket booked under the same name.His lips curled up as he sank into the memories of his embarrassment after being caught by Emile and Abbey; how they travelled together as companions at first and how he slowly walked into her heart. Every single moment was carved into heart, intertwining with his soul, emerging to be one with his being.He let out a soft chuckle as he remembered their time on the beaches of Mauritius; she was exact
