Never to look back Marriage isn’t a convenience, it should be a choice.
“Big treasure, tell me, how long do you think would be an appropriate sentence for Mr Holston?” Thomas turned to Chris Jnr, wanting to know their thoughts. He didn’t think it was unreasonable to pose such a question to a six-year-old. Chris’s parenting style was different, and both Big Treasure and Little Treasure were more than capable of forming their own opinions, regardless of age.““How long isn’t the question…” Chris Jnr shook his head with a sly smile. “The real focus should be how widely the case is covered.”“Why?” Penny furrowed her brow as she looked at her younger cousins in confusion.“What do you think has a greater impact…” Chris Jnr’s mannerisms mirrored Chris’s as he spoke in a calm, measured tone. “Being quietly locked away… or being named and shamed in front of the entire world until you wish yourself out of existence?”“For someone like Mr Holston, the second would mean social death and thereby…” Penny paused, her eyes lighting up as understanding dawned. “Ah… now
Never to look back Does that mean I should resign myself to fate?
The officers stepped inside and greeted Grandpa Holston respectfully before turning to acknowledge Daniel, who had just managed to sit upright.Grandpa Holston reciprocated the greeting, maintaining a calm expression although his fingers tightened around the head of his cane.“Mr Holston, I am detective chief superintendent Sean Ernst, and this is Commissioner Irvine Moss.” One of the officers started the conversation introducing himself.He turned his head, towards Grandpa Holston, once again acknowledging him with a respectful nod, before stating the purpose of his visit, in a calm, detached tone “Mr Holston, you have been formally charged with abduction and unlawful detainment of Mrs Walters and attempted murder of Mr and Mrs Walters’ unborn quadruplets.”“That is my wife….” Daniel’s voice cut in, rough and edged with raw bitterness.Grandpa Holston sat where he was, neither condemning nor condoning, the only giveaway of his reaction was the faint creak of wood on the floor and the
Never to look back How can I blame anyone when this is all my own undoing?
“Heavens…. This truly is your retribution...” Grandpa Holston wept as he shook his head in regret.Daniel sighed as he tried to sit up, to comfort Grandpa Holston; however he fell back despite trying his best, but this successfully got Grandpa Holston out of self-reproach and brought his attention back to his precious grandson. He stopped wallowing in his grief, his grandson needed him most now, he couldn’t fall… at least not yet!He patted Daniel’s hand in a comforting manner, supressing his own grief “Alright… alright… we have to look forward.”Neither Grandpa nor grandson spoke for a while before Daniel broke the silence “Grandpa, how’s everything at company?”“Holding on…. barely…” Grandpa Holston sighed before sinking into his thoughts once again. After a while he asked, “Would you resent me if….” he paused, unable to ask out loud the thought that had been haunting him in the past 2 weeks.“Grandpa, I won’t blame nor will I resent you.” Daniel shook his head as he comforted his gr
Never to look back Do you think that you don’t need your tongue anymore?
Grandpa Holston woke up the next morning to the good news of Daniel regaining consciousness. He rushed over to find Daniel to check on his precious grandson, only to find him with a vacant gaze.“Son, how are you feeling?” Grandpa Holston asked anxiously as he sat near his bed, holding his hand, in an attempt to bring his soul back from wherever it wandered off to.Daniel turned his gaze to look at Grandpa Holston; he tried to steady his gaze on Grandpa Holston’s face, as though searching for recognition before muttering in a low, despondent voice “I lost…. I lost so miserably… I lost my wife and kids… I have nothing left!”“Not all is lost… not all…” Grandpa Holston choked as he patted Daniel’s hand affectionately “You are still breathing….and that’s all that matters. You have the rest of your life, live it well.”“Don’t stay stuck in the past…” Grandpa Holston’s voice seemed to have aged considerably in the last 4 weeks “The past has left our grasp, trying to hold on to it, is as foo
Never to look back I would never be in your shoes
Grandpa Holston’s body couldn’t hold on any longer, no matter how he argued that he could go, insisting on guarding his precious grandson by himself; Ron, who had grown up alongside Daniel could see through the farce and knew that was his body could not hold any longer; he was holding on with nothing more than sheer willpower. Hence insisted on booking an additional room and sending Grandpa Holston to rest, with a promise to wake him up as soon as Daniel regained consciousness.The last 4 weeks hadn’t been peaceful for the Holston’s; Both Burkes and Walters meant what they said, neither showed any mercy or consideration for old friendships when they attacked. Only relief was that Chris didn’t join the mix; it wasn’t because he was magnanimous to forgive but his genuine consideration and respect for his kids’ heritage. But either way both Grandpa Holston and Chris knew that it wouldn’t matter if he joined the fray or not, Holston’s would be history.As he laid to rest, sighing at the fa
Never to look back You were never a victim…
“Were you any better?” Ron countered without backing and added “Worse, you even attacked her folks back home…”“No… I didn’t…” Daniel shook his head in denial at first before pausing as he remembered something and mumbled faintly “I only sent someone to warn them for raising such a vicious daughter.”“Warn??? Heh!” Ron scoffed “How far did the warning go? Do you not know?”“I just made them lose their jobs…” Daniel’s eyes darted guiltily as he lowered his head; he didn’t think it was too much to give them a lesson.“Do you know that the bullying you incited or paid for, didn’t just stop them from being able to work…. But also followed them all the way to their hometown, making it impossible for them to live…” Ron paused as he took a sip with a bitter expression “They eventually committed suicide.”“What???” Daniel’s eyes widened in shock before shaking his head “Does Michelle know?”“Why do think she willingly agreed to take part in Christopher’s scheme?” Ron hooked his eyebrows at Dan

“Tell me, what do you intend to do?” Silas leaned forward as his lips curled up flirtatiously. “How long do you think they can be proud if they have internal conflict?” Sheryl smiled sweetly; No one would think that this woman was talking about something sinister with such an expression. “Heh!

“I don’t think you have to worry about this.” Adam’s facial muscles loosened as he spoke, his lips even curled up arrogantly; his family was his pride. He knew how much his children doted and cared about each other; their bottom line was family. “If I am not mistaken, your brothers should be here an

Sheryl waited patiently for Daniel to come begging her for cooperation. She knew that he wouldn’t be able to meet her as she had heard that the Walters had all left the very next day after the wedding from Silas, even before she passed the information to Daniel. Her reason for passing the useless me

Emile sat back with a heavy sigh; she didn’t even realize that she had tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been so engrossed in her reading, in Grace's life that she didn’t even register Raphael who came over at who knows what time and was currently sitting beside her reading. “How can anyone s
