Michelle knew that her past had caught up and all her schemes had been laid bare before Daniel and there was no future for them. She could see it in his eyes when he was questioning her. She knew how vengeful Daniel was and didn't want to stay and be at the receiving end of Daniel's anger. She had seen how brutally he treated Emile whom he loved; she didn't need to be a genius to guess what her fate would be if she stayed. She took all the jewellery that Daniel had given her on various occasions and left the house while everyone was in chaos from the news. She didn’t forget to take away the property certificates that she had tricked Daniel into putting in her name. Just because she ran away in the middle of chaos, don’t underestimate Michelle’s tenacity and presence of mind. Even if she ran away in a panic, she didn’t forget to pack away all her expensive luxury items, her designer bags, dresses and shoes, in short anything of value that could be exchanged for money that she had bough
Emile and Chris weren’t impacted by the ruckus of Daniel’s wedding, even the news of the wedding being cancelled only reached Emile’s ears after a week. “Hubby, did you know that Daniel’s wedding was cancelled?” Emile asked curiously as she sat at the dressing table, performing her night ritual of removing make-up and applying moisturiser. “Um” Chris lifted his head from the book he was reading and hooked his eyebrows with a teasing smile, “Angry that I didn’t tell you?” “Why should I be angry with my husband for unrelated people?” Emile pouted as she came over to the bed and got on her side of the bed. Chris left his book on the bedside table on his side and rolled over to hug his wife; No book was as interesting as his beautiful wife. “What’s wrong?” Chris asked as he hugged her. “I just feel sad for Michelle, even though she hurt me a lot and she was the direct reason for most of my sufferings.” Emile leaned into Chris’s embrace, settling in a comfortable posture “Such a scum
“What wrong?” Chris asked once they got on the car on their way back home after settling all the affected kids in hospital. “Treasures, can you tell godfather what happened?” Neil ignored Chris’s question and turned to Chris Jnr and Emm. He knew Chris’s parenting methods, but he didn’t agree; his treasures had to be protected from the world of schemes. “Godfather, you don’t have to change the topic.” Chris Jnr spoke in a serious tone like a little adult; his sitting posture and mannerisms were an exact carbon copy of Chris. Neil stared at him in amazement 'how could the two who were not related by blood be so similar? Can nurturing have the same weight as being biological?’ “Godfather, I will tell you everything that happened in detail.” Chris Jnr continued in a serious tone “But you have to answer my father’s question first. Ignoring my father is disrespecting him. I cannot allow that even if you are my godfather.” “Whhhaaaa…..” Neil opened his eyes wide and pointed between father
“Inform him to meet us at the location.” Chris knitted his brows “Ask him to bring his men along. This experience will be good for training them.” “Where?” Night Blade turned towards Neil. “Lai-Li had tracked master's location towards Mount Hushan” Neil pursed his lips “The exact location we don’t know; we will have to pick up tracking once we reach there. Lai-Li needs to be closer to the location to find the exact location.” “Let’s set tonight.” Chris got up “I will inform Emile and the kids.” Night Blade: “Boss, you don’t need to come. We will meet up with Night Mage at the foot of Mount Hushan and take it from there.” Chris frowned as he turned towards Neil for his opinion. “I think he’s right.” Neil nodded “We will let you know if we cannot manage.” “Alright then… I will leave this to you.” “What about me?” Adrian sat on the sofa with a bored look. “You both stay out” Neil smiled slyly “As always, come and get me when I am in trouble.” “Fine …. Fine….Go… go run wild… you
Daniel knew the woman in front of him. He had investigated Chris’s life 4 years ago when after Grandpa showed him Emile’s wedding reception video. Amanda smiled gracefully feigning ignorance to Daniel’s shock and repeated her question “Why is Mr Holston drinking on his own when he has such a beautiful wife and children?” “Ms Caldwell is mistaken.” Daniel regained his composure and answered with a straight face “I am neither married nor do I have kids.” “Oh… yes, how could I forget?” Amanda maintained her smile as she sat down “You are a divorced, ignorant father to two adorable kids.” Daniel knitted his brows but didn’t justify nor deny the allegation and went back to concentrating on his drinks ignoring Amanda. He wasn't in the mood to entertain another delinquent. “Mr Holston, do you want to feign ignorance and drown your love in alcohol while someone else takes over your life as husband and father?” Amanda didn’t beat around the bush as she knew that Daniel wasn’t the type who
Grandpa Holston had been carried back to his room by Ron and the family doctor called by the time Daniel came back to his senses. He hurried over to Grandpa Holston’s room but was stopped by the old butler. “Young master, the doctor said not to give the old master any excitement otherwise we won’t be able to hold back what is left of his life.” The old butler lowered his head “Old master said he doesn’t want to see you right now. Let him calm down.” “Grandpa refused to see me?” Daniel pointed at himself in disbelief. “Young master, don’t blame the old master.” The old butler shook his head in heartache “I have watched the old master’s heartache every time he has to go over as a guest to see his own grandchildren. I have seen his heartache when he looks at the lamps that were meant to light his house shining brightly at another….I have seen his yearning and regret. At his age, there is not much he wishes for and the one thing he so desperately wishes for, has been distanced from him.
“Boss, we are here….” George’s call brought him back to reality and he quickly wiped his tears. “Please let your Mr Walter know that Mr Holston is here to visit.” George informed the security guard at the gate. He didn’t ask if Mr Walter was home because they had already enquired and knew he was home with the kids. “Boss, there’s a gentleman here to visit Mr Walter. He introduced himself as Mr Holston.” The security guard spoke into his walkie talkie. He pressed the button to open the gate after getting approval from his boss. George was about to politely thank the security guard when he noticed that the security guard had no intention of even acknowledging him after he finished his task unlike other security guards who fawned on guests. Inside Chris’s villa- “Boss, Mr Holston is here to see you.” Night Wing announced before muttering “He must be here for the kids.” “Um” Chris nodded as he left the study, heading towards the lounge “Amanda met with him. It was only a matter of ti
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
