Never to look back Was I really that wrong?
‘Click’Abbey woke up from her sleep with the sound of the lock turning from the other side of the door. She hurriedly sat up and looked at the door anxiously. She had never seen Emile in this state. She was always strong; never this miserable…. Not even when she left Daniel 2.5 months ago.Emile pursed her lips and looked at Abbey with an awkward expression “You… you…”“Yes… it’s me.”“Why didn’t you go back?” Emile lowered her eyes guiltily.“How can I go when you are like this?” Abbey got up with difficulty as legs were numb from sitting in one position for a whole night.“I am sorry.” Emile supported Abbey back to her room before she went to the bathroom to fresh-up.They silently freshened up and sat before the table with the breakfast that Abbey ordered although neither had the mood to eat. Abbey forced Emile to eat a slice of bread before they got the hotel staff to clear the table.“Do you want to talk?” Abbey asked softly after sitting for a while side by side in silence.Emi
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 drunk; I still remember that night” Emile sniffed as she recalled the heartache she felt when she saw the man she loved with all her heart, pinning over another woman.” “What happened that night?” Abbey couldn’t control her gossipy curiosity. “Nothing of the sort that you imagined with your overimaginative brain.” Emile scoffed before continuing. “That night, I took care of him.” Emile shrugged as she gave Abbey a simple explanation. “We started getting along well with each other after that.” Emile smiled at the distant memory and spoke in a daze “It was like we were getting to know each other and were beginning to fall in love.” “He would bring me flowers when he returned from work; s
Never to look back Why should I make myself more miserable for a truth that didn't matter to anyone?
Christopher had no idea of the torture she had been through. She had merely glossed over it the last time she opened up to him. He had no idea what they talked about after they discussed about the results of confronting Daniel with the truth. He couldn’t get through the fact that, that bastard had hurt his treasure time and time again.Christopher jumped back into his balcony in a daze. He didn’t want to hand his treasure back to such a bastard. He had to re-think what he was going to do. He went back to his room to unpack. He was packed and ready to leave after taking a quick glance at her. He didn’t want his presence to pressure her into making a decision she would regret.Christopher wasn’t the only one eavesdropping. Night Wing was also standing guard outside Emile’s door, but he couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly. However, the sound of the two women crying seemed to stab an unknown place in his chest especially the sound of that crazy woman crying. He never knew the craz
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 well.” Christopher chuckled seeing the normally indifferent Night Wing’s face alternating with the colours of the rainbow.“Boss…” Night Wing didn’t know what to make of his Boss’s current mood.“Don’t stand there stunned like an idiot.” Christopher walked forward and tapped his shoulder with a smile “Otherwise even I would have to doubt if Abbey’s assumption of buy 1 get 1 free was correct.”Night Wing turned to look at Christopher in a daze for a second before scratching the back of his head in embarrassment and turning to look if anyone else saw his embarrassment, more importantly if the crazy woman saw…. Christopher could hold any longer and laughed loudly.“Boss how did you know that I
Never to look back You just make sure my daughter-in-law doesn't run away again.
Emile and Abbey leaned against the back of the sofa in the lounge room without any regard for their appearance hugging their bloated tummies in bliss.“Ahaa…. My stomach is going to burst. I am not eating for another month.” Abbey mumbled dishonestly although she had a happy smile on her face.“Thanks Abbey” Emile turned to look at Abbey and smiled. Abbey responded by smiling, blinking her eyes.“So” Abbey opened her mouth after holding it in for a while “I know it is not my place to say anything…..”“You can say anything to me…” Emile smiled as she turned to face Abbey. She could guess what Abbey wanted to say looking at the constipated expression.“Do you think you need to give Christopher an explanation?” Abbey wrinkled her forehead “I mean do you think it is fair on him?”“I owe him a lot more than an explanation….” Emie’s voice staggered into a whisper “But I just don’t know how….. this…. Everything is a lot more complicated now.”“I don’t see it that way.” Abbey shook her head “
Never to look back Meet the family (1)
Mossel bay airfield was well lit up although the sun was yet to come out. The staff didn’t know who the guests that were about to arrive were, but that didn’t affect their enthusiasm in the slightest. Officials swiftly organized themselves to receive the aircraft even though they received the order at short notice. All they knew was that the arriving guests could not be offended. 2 small sized private jets landed in Mossel Bay airfield in the wee hours of the morning. Although it was the wee hours, the small airport was bustling with activity and curiosity. Who were the people that were about to alight?However, the people who alighted didn’t seem to be affected by their curiosity nor the fuss. An elderly yet dignified couple followed by 4 couples, a middle-aged lady and a young lady alighted from the jets and passed through without any of the unusual demands or fuss.The only unusual thing if any was that the pilots of the aircrafts didn’t log off at the airport but followed the fam

“Ahem… ahem…” Adam cleared his throat and gave Christopher a look prompting him to speak.“Dad, this is Emile.”“I am not senile yet.” Adam snorted as he sat back.“Son, we know she is Emile.” Elizabeth pursed her lips that were curling up as she added in ridicule “I don’t think we can forget even if we turn senile after hearing it for the past ten years.”Emile lowered her head. She wished she could dig a hole and disappear; the giggling sounds of her to-be- sisters-in-law weren’t making her feel any better.“We know she is Emile. We know that you love her. We know that she didn’t like you.” Ericson took the baton for teasing from his parents.“We know that she is now divorced, and you threw all the big and small work at me, drowning my life and ran away from home.” Mark too joined in the fun.“…..and made the already non-existent time with our dad for me and my siblings disappear.” Miles jumped in to say his 2 cents worth as well.“Stop teasing” Veronica laughed “Otherwise the girl
Never to look back Meet the family (3)
Mark called for the waiters to bring breakfast over once everyone moved on from the sensitive topic of discussion. The staff arrived promptly and started serving a sumptuous breakfast. Everyone including Darcy started eating without waiting for Eva and Amanda to get back; It would be more apt to say that no one missed them.“How long are you staying?” Christopher asked once breakfast was out of the way.“If you are getting married within the week. We will stay back.” Elizabeth had a naughty smile on her face before it faded and she pouted with a sad expression “If not, we will leave in the afternoon.”Christopher rolled his eyes at his mom’s pathetic acting, but the truth was gullible Emile fell for it.“Auntie why don’t you stay back for at least a day or two?” Emile tried to persuade “Won’t it be tiring to travel without resting?”Elizabeth pursed her lips with a feigned difficult expression.“I need to talk to my folks… I cannot get married without their blessing this time; I have
