Emile turned around and sat beside Chris, even though it was a single seater once the kids were taken upstairs; her demeanour changed from the tenderness she just had as she was talking to her children to that of an arrogant overlord as she faced Daniel. She didn’t hesitate to look him in the eye as she asked in ridicule, “What is Mr Holston doing so far away from home?” “Emile, can we have a reasonable chat?” Daniel put away his arrogance and asked, his eyes filled with care and regret. Sadly, Emile didn’t appreciate nor need either. “Was it Mr Holston being reasonable that I just witnessed as I came through the door?” Emile snorted, lifting her chin arrogantly “Of course… how could I not know that Mr Holston's standards are different to that of us mere mortals.” “Emile, I was wrong in the past.” Daniel didn’t lose his temper as he normally did. He had learnt his lesson; Emile was no longer the same person as she was in the past. She no longer had any tolerance for him. He had to l
“Wife, calm down.” Chris gently massaged Emile’s back as he coaxed her. He could feel her trembling in anger.“Calm down??” Emile hissed as she glared at Chris.Chris scratched the back of his head looking like a pitiful kid who didn’t know how to fix his mistake.“How dare he? How dare he have the nerve to walk in here and make a demand for my kids?” Emile had no intention of calming down, she was fuming… like an erupting volcano.Both Thomas and Angel sat in their seats drinking tea pretending to be invisible and ignorant of everything that was happening around them; they both knew that the deaf and blind child lived longer.“How should we deal with him? I will listen to my wife.” Chris coaxed in a gentle voice.“Mommy, we should teach that bad guy a lesson.” Emm waved her hands fiercely in air. No one knew when Emm and Chris Jnr came down.“Yes, mommy thinks so too.” Emile nodded as she bit her lower lip with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.“How about we go at night and put him in
“That was super fun.” Vini laughed as he walked into Chris Jnr’s room from the balcony.“And the best part is, we did not get into trouble.” Emm and Penny hi-fi-ed as they giggled walking into the room.“Shhh!” Chris Jnr cautioned “Let’s get into bed quickly. Don’t think that my daddy is easy to fool. Don’t make noise and tempt your luck.”However, luck didn’t seem to be on the side on the young vigilantes. The lights in their room turned on as they were sneaking into their beds. Night Wing stood near the switchboard with a helpless expression.Chris Jnr scratched the back of his head as he looked towards the switchboard. Sure enough, nothing escapes his daddy’s eagle eyes. As expected, his daddy was sitting on the old oak rocking chair waiting for them.“Daddy, you haven’t slept?” Chris Jnr raised his head with a fawning smile “Daddy, little treasure is very tired. Can we talk tomorrow?”“What has daddy taught you?” Chris raised his eyebrows in a questioning arc, his lips curled up in
Daniel arrived earlier than Amanda as he had a meeting with one of his clients just before his appointment with Amanda. He couldn’t be bothered to change rooms, so he informed reception to let Amanda know of the change in rooms and to bring her to where he was.Amanda arrived on time, she was courteous and didn’t lack a single point on etiquette. She gracefully accepted the change in room and walked over to the designated room with the receptionist although she was fuming inwardly. She did have a trick up her sleeve.She had bribed the hotel staff to burn an incense in the room she had previously booked; the intent was to trade flesh and coax Daniel into doing her bidding out of helplessness. Little did she know that it was a good thing that her trick didn’t come to fruition, otherwise her collaboration with Daniel would have burned with the incense. Daniel was stubborn as a mule and was not someone who could be coerced. Manipulated, yes…. but coerced, never. It would backfire in ways
Night Blade brought the kids back after their punishment was over; all of them without exception was dead tired. Marcus had hoped that he would be able to cruise through this one as the kids were coming along. Little did he know that his evil little uncle divided them into two groups, clubbing him, Miles and Vini together and Emm, Chris Jnr and Penny in the other group.Although he fared better than Miles and Vini, it was nothing to be proud of considering he was used to it since he was 10 unlike the others who were experiencing their little uncle’s devilish training for the first time. Unlike Marcus who was complaining non-stop to Darcy and Grace when they came to pick him up, Miles and Vini had a sense of accomplishment while Penny felt that she was a total disgrace as an elder sister.Chris Jnr and Emm were used to the Devil Island training as Chris would take them on training adventures although this was their first-time undergoing punishment training. They just sat quietly observi
“Get me the details of the person my wife is meeting today.”Night Wing nodded in acknowledgement and left the room while Chris got busy with getting the kids ready to head for the Walter board meeting where all shareholders had to attend quarterly meetings; they could either attend in person or proxy.“Dad, what’s on the agenda for today’s meeting?” Chris Jnr asked as they sat in the car driving towards the headquarters of Walter Empire. Although Chris Jnr’s voice was childish, there was no childishness in the tone. He and Emm were used to board meetings; Chris always took them for the meetings of both Evergreen Heights and Devil’s Empire from when they were 3 months old. They had begun their training from when they were 2 unlike other second-generation rich kids.“Exploring new prospects” Chris’s response was also business-like; he never laudatory in his response with his kids. To him, this was how his kids should be, there was nothing noteworthy in this, it was a norm for his kids.
The next session had a wider audience as it included not just the shareholders but also the board of directors. Everyone was seated and ready before the Walters waltzed in. Chris’s lips curled up subtly in disdain as he saw the schadenfreude on most faces. He didn’t forget to gesture Night Wing to make a note of those faces.One of the board members started the discussion once Mark opened the floor. However just as he was speaking, Chris’s phone rang with an overseas number, and he excused himself before leaving the room.“We have been stagnant in our footprint for over a decade.” One of the board members opened his speech as he stood up tugging his pants that was slightly drooping of his bulging tummy. He looked around the room with a wide smile taking in the nodding heads from his lackeys and was about to continue when he was interrupted.“Are you suggesting setting up a new branch?” Mark raised his eyebrows “in the country or …?” Mark paused his question mid-way, the meaning evident
Chris’s Demon emperor reputation was not without reason nor was his vengeful persona an exaggeration. His kids and Emile were his bottom line; to touch his bottom line and escape unscathed, was simple a pipe dream. Chris didn’t wait for Crawley’s response.Pictures of two other children, a girl of ten and a boy of six came up onscreen. These followed pictures of Crawley where he was pictured as the perfect family man playing with his wife and kids, the only problem was the women in the pictures were two different women, neither was the widely known socialite, the current Mrs Crawley.“This…. This….” One of the board members stuttered in anger as he pointed at the pictures before turning to Mr Crawley and demanding in a furious temper “Brother-in-law, don’t you owe me and my sister an explanation?”“Hehe…misunderstanding…. Misunderstanding… all a misunderstanding….” Mr Crawley waved his hands after calming his nerves with a shallow laughter.The paternity test results for the kids appea
