Eva didn’t return home after her fallout with the Walters. She got the waiters at Love Nest to send her to one of her apartments once she was wasted. This was probably the best way out for her. At least she didn’t have to go through the pain and humiliation of the chain of events in her head over and over again.

She woke the next day with a terrible hangover headache, but it didn’t matter as she didn’t have to be anywhere anyway. She sat in bed going through her life in the last twenty years an

  • 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 g

  • 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

  • Never to look back   I just wanted my life back.

    The drive and the journey were unbearable for Daniel and yet none of his companions offered him any analgesics. The heartless man and woman even stopped the airhostess giving him anything to numb his pain, saying that he was allergic to those meds. ‘Hell…’ he felt like screaming that ‘he was not allergic to anything but pain’…however, the pain was so unbearable that he couldn’t utter a single word but whimper in pain.His consciousness floated in and out, tormented by pain; he had no idea how or when the journey ended, as when his consciousness returned next, long enough for him to remain sane, he was already back at his office in Holston holdings. But worse than the pain was the memory, the memory he regained…. Of his failed attempt and how he made a grand fool of himself.He stood up from his chair in a daze… confused as to why Christopher would let him walk scot-free after having him under his foot, reduced to an ant, waiting to be trampled. He looked around, his eyes still clouded

  • Never to look back   How does it feel to be treated by the same token?

    Daniel slowly gained consciousness, but his head still hurt; it hurt so much that he couldn’t even see what was in front of him, even his mind was playing tricks on him as his memories became jumbled, making it impossible for him to make sense of it.He tried to sit up, holding his temples that were throbbing uncontrollably before gritting his teeth and ordering Michelle who seemed to be standing indifferently by the side “Get me some meds for the pain.”Michelle didn’t respond to Daniel’s order but instead turned her head to look at Night Slade and Night Song. Daniel followed her gaze and saw the two people sitting leisurely on the sofa; he remembered that his headache seemed to have started following the consumption of the tea that was delivered by the man and became agitated.He gritted his teeth and questioned “What did you put in the tea? Are you planning to poison me to death along with your partner?”“I didn’t think Mr Holston had any scruples with poisoning considering he used

  • Never to look back   Why do I not get a second chance for my happily ever after?

    Christopher only planned to take a quick look and leave but his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground. Unaware, Emile and Abbey continued with their heart to heart. “Daniel searched everywhere for Michelle without any luck. He didn’t give up until he came home one night a month later, worn out and

  • Never to look back   What is mine will never be taken away….

    The scene that entered Night Wing’s eyes as he entered the room was Christopher was unpacking his bag. In the eyes of the beholder, the difference between packing and unpacking would be based on their perspective. Night Wing froze for a minute before opening his mouth “Boss…”“Order lunch for us as w

  • Never to look back   Her love has always been a poisonous obsession.

    Christopher raised his eyebrows in an enquiring manner as he saw the frown on Emile’s face as they sat down.“Nothing.” Emile shrugged “I just felt sorry for Amanda. I felt like I was looking at my past self.”“You are nothing like her.” Christopher retorted before adding with feigned anger “Do not in

  • Never to look back   Am I dreaming?

    The smile on Emile’s face lingered even after they reached back at the hotel. She sat in a daze as she watched Christopher busy himself with packing both his and her stuff while Night Wing went to complete the checkout procedures. Abbey didn’t have anything to do as she had already packed the day be
