Christopher sat at his desk trying to calm his mental faculties as he ended the call. He had no idea why Emile wanted to talk but he was sure it wouldn’t be anything good. He hoped that this wouldn’t be the last conversation they had. He didn’t wish for much. He was happy to stand behind and watch her smile. He hoped to heavens that he wouldn’t be denied that right.

As he thought of the many reasons for ‘Can we talk’, a face flashed by his mind’s eye. He clenched his fists as he thought of whet

  • Never to look back   One of those weird things that happen around our little brother?

    Inside the room, Chris’s master looked at Emile with furrowed brows for a minute before turning to Chris, “Do you still have the heavenly snow bean I gave you?”Chris nodded. His master extended his hand.“Can you get it for daddy?” Chris turned to Chris Jnr.Chris Jnr wrinkled his little face, trying to figure out what his daddy was asking.“Remember the rainbow-coloured pills you gave the dragon last time?” Chris’s master kneeled to level his gaze with Chris Jnr.Chris Jnr nodded and was about to run out when Chris called out, “Bring the wooden chest where it is stored.”Emm also followed her brother when she heard Chris asking for the whole chest.“Ideally, we should have gone to the island.” Chris’s master frowned as he looked around at the room. He had no idea what to expect… but he knew for sure that this room and house were not equipped for whatever was coming…“We can reinforce it with spiritual energy...” Hendrick suggested knowing what his master was worried about.Master rub

  • Never to look back   Put us down… we are staying with mommy...

    Neil and Hua Yueren arrived one after the other.“Master you are here?” Neil greeted excitedly.Hua Yueren hummed as he walked forward, his hands clasped together behind his back.Adrian and his little family, who arrived with Neil stood to the side, not wanting to add to the chaos but ready to help if needed.By the time Neil and his master had arrived, Dolly and Anne had the delivery room prepared.Hua Yueren knitted his brows. He still couldn’t shake the concerns raised by his previous conversation with Azure.“Master, is there a problem?” Neil asked in a quiet voice. He didn’t want to attract any attention to them. He could see that Chris wasn’t coping well even without any triggers.Slowly, even though it was midnight, the rest of the Walters and Burkes swaggered in… who informed them? Who knows?? But no one was in the state of mind to pay attention to this mystery.“Where’s Emile?” Elizabeth asked in a whisper after pulling Jeffrey aside.“Madam’s in the room that was prepared fo

  • Never to look back   I knew my daddy and mommy were unreliable…

    Just as Chris finished speaking, Night Wing walked in. He bent down and whispered in his ear before handing him an envelope.Chris stared at the report silently.The paper crumpled little by little in his grasp.No one spoke.By the time he finally lowered his hand, fine ash slipped through his fingers into his pocket.The calmness in his expression made the atmosphere even heavier.“The children who survived have either been reunited with their families, are waiting to be transported, or are already on their way home.” Chris updated the others before turning to Mark, “Big brother, can you donate some funds towards the Travel fund that has been set up by our government for these kids?”“Majority of these kids who were taken as a cover come from mediocre or impoverished families.”Mark called his secretary on the spot and gave instructions. Darcy switched on international news as big brother was taking care of matters.The anchor on screen was giving an account of the events that shook

    Both Burke and Walter households were in attendance at Chris’s Rose villa even before Chris arrived back.“Everyone’s here.” Chris laughed softly as he gestured that he would return after settling Emile.The kids who were noisily coming up from the basement became even more excited as they saw their parents. They continued their ruckus by sharing their excitement with their parents, presenting their pearls with great care.“Did they really find this?” Eric asked in disbelief as he took the pearl from Diana’s hand.“I found this on my own.” Felicity puffed her cheeks and chest indignantly.“Yes, little thirteen found them all by herself.” Miles added in support. The others too all stopped what they were doing and turned to face Eric as they nodded in support.Eric comically raised his hand in defeat.Chris returned just in time to see his undefeated roguish fifth brother admitting defeat. He chuckled as he joined the group.Once all the excitement died down and the children with the exc

  • Never to look back   Then why is she sleeping all the time?

    Chris took everyone for a spin to lift the children’s spirits before heading back home. There wasn’t much debate about where they wanted to go. The kids had developed a new interest: diving. It wasn’t just a hobby; they had a secret agenda, to find the Ocean King’s castle.The discovery last time had filled them with awe. They had learned that even if they couldn’t find the Ocean King’s castle, there was always something waiting to be discovered beneath the sea.This time, they were far more familiar with the process and no longer needed guidance. They already knew where the diving equipment was kept. Even before the aircraft, technically an ocean craft, landed on the ocean floor, they had already changed and were eagerly waiting to head out.This time, however, Chris didn’t accompany them. He left the children in the capable hands of his elite soldiers and stayed behind instead. His sleeping beauty was fast asleep, and despite her briefly opening her eyes to tell him to go with the ki

    “Well said.” Master chuckled as he sat back.Hendrick plopped beside Master as he usually did. Master didn’t think much of it however once Chris sat on the other chair, Master threw a side glance and arched a brow.“Master, other than myself and Hendrick, are there any disciples currently in the mortal realm?” Chris started without any introduction.Master narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. He had been about to dismiss the possibility when something in Chris’s expression made him pause.Silence settled inside the hut.Then he closed his eyes as invisible spiritual veins spread across the globe at light speed. He meditated quietly as the veins gathered information before retracting. Then he opened his eyes. He shook his head, “Everyone other than you two have ascended.”Chris’s frown deepened.“What’s bothering you?” Hendrick didn’t have Master’s patience. He didn’t wait for Chris to speak.“Someone rang Emile imitating her First brother.”“Here?” Hendrick asked in disbelief.Chris nodded

  • Never to look back   As long as they cherish each other.

    Chris started to make his move once he was discharged from hospital. He got Jonas to purchase all the shares from the small fries which amounted to 10%. Thinking about the 5% shares that got transferred to military, Chris called Henry as he wasn’t sure how things worked up there.“Hello” Henry answer

    “Son….” Adam called out his head lowered in guilt once the Burkes left, and he no longer needed to keep face “I have failed you and Emile and made the little ones suffer as well.”“Dad, I don’t blame you although I will not forgive mom.” Chris pursed his lips; he knew his dad was stuck between a rock

    Son, why are you behaving like this?” Elizabeth asked with a pained expression as she walked with Chris towards the private lounge area designated for the Walters, trying to hold his hands several times, only to fail miserably.“Mom, I have very little patience for your melodrama.”“Son, you don’t eve

    Chris didn’t have many thoughts at this moment. He only hoped he could see his wife’s smile one last time, but he didn’t know if he would last that long. He hated himself for forgiving his mother in a moment’s weakness giving her a chance to rob him of his happiness.He couldn’t understand how the pe
