Delayed justice

Eva couldn’t come up for a reason for why I12 would want to harm their baby; he didn’t seem like someone who hated children, nor did he seem to hate their child. She waited for a week hoping to ask I12 what the reason was, but he never came to visit after she saw him the day she came out of the theatre after delivery. A week later as Eva was about to be discharged, the nurse told her that there was a visitor for her. Eva didn’t care about her image and ran towards the direction that the nurse pointed out. No one had come for her in the last four months. Why would anyone other than I12 look for her? She knew that it was I12; today she had to ask why they made her give birth early putting both the child and her in danger; she had to ask why he didn’t even allow her to see her child once. However, nothing ever seems to go her way since the day she was kicked out of Walter residence. Contrary to her expectations, it wasn’t I12 who was asking for her. It wasn’t even someone she knew. She

Farewell without anyone to send off...

Eva sat staring at the disappearing back of the heartless man who had used and thrown her away. It had always been she, who was arrogant; she who used and discarded people… he was the first… and to think that it was just a worthless fool who was serving besides Chris…. She had stooped so low… how unbearable! Eva sat on her prison bed as she unfolded the envelope and carefully took out the letter that was a few stacks of paper. A wry smile hung on her face as she saw the handwriting; she knew the owner of the writing. She had a faint glimmer of hope that I12 had finally found his conscience and had written the things he couldn’t tell her due to being monitored. Looks like her charm wasn’t that great after all… she couldn’t even capture the heart of a shadow guard; did she overestimate her charm when she thought of capturing the second young master of the Walters? Twenty years should have taught her that but she still couldn't comprehend this. The letter started off describing their h

If dad gets tired holding the sky for you, I will help him.

Three years later passed away in a blink of an eye; Chris and Emile were planning to move back, with everything going back to normal between Chris and his mom although Emile wasn’t as close as to Elizabeth as the other daughters-in-law, but who could blame her? How could anyone be close to someone who collided with others to kill her children? It was already magnanimous on Emile’s part to not drive a wedge between Chris and Elizabeth. House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions had already become a prestigious existence in the fashion world; The complete shopping experience for clothes regardless of the occasion while catering for all social classes was the speciality of House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions. The eighteen-storey building was a shopping heaven of fashion regardless of your budget; Each level was dedicated to type and price range of clothes. The top floors which catered for elites in the social circle with the added benefit of getting one of a kind, clothes designe

I promise to help you achieve what you need to achieve.

Emile had a readymade alarm; even though her husband doted on her without a bottom-line and would disturb her beauty sleep, her little elves didn’t have that awareness. Ever since they were capable of crawling, they would crawl over to mom and dad’s bed for having their special good morning tickly cuddle time as soon as they woke up. “Good morning mommy and daddy” the duo chorused as they jumped on to the bed, to land perfectly right in the middle Emile and Chris. “Good morning treasures” Chris laughed as he caught the two cannon balls, stopping them from crash landing on his precious wife. Chris was especially good at making double catches, he has had 2 years of training, how could he not? “Is it morning yet?” Emile opened one eye in a narrow slit before cuddling the naughty little elves “Sleep…. sleep, mommy will wake you when it is morning.” “Lazy mommy, uncle sun has been shining brightly since a long time.” Emm sat up and complained blinking her beautiful big eyes. She was an

Bringing the wolf home

Chris and Emile followed behind Raphael after informing Eli that they were going to Dupont estate and to inform the kids that they would be back shortly. Raphael didn’t go to their normal living space but walked towards the apartment in the West wing. He stopped in the living area, just outside the door of one of the bedrooms. “Once I remove my mask, I might not have to explain my identity.” Raphael chuckled with a rare hint of playfulness before removing his mask. “You…. you….” Emile stuttered with her eyes wide open in shock; Chris’s facial expression was also one of shock although his reaction wasn’t as exaggerated as Emile. The face that was revealed in front of them was an aged version of Chris…. to be more precise, an aged version of Adam…. The lines added due to the years didn’t reduce his handsomeness in the least, instead it added the charm of wisdom. “Are you Chris’s grandfather?” Emile blurted out stupidly, her expression more sillier than her question. “No but I am….

Unveiling the past

“Rufus Roman, a tall fair man with a slender frame and scholarly aura was very well behaved and gentle in the early days. He surrounded and flattered Bridget like she was the light of his life. Whether it was on campus or in the streets, their coincidental meetings were a daily occurrence, and it didn't seem to raise any suspicions for my elder sister who was naive to the affairs of the world of men.” Raphael continued with his story. “He had my elder sister eating out of the palm of his hand with ease and no matter how much father and I objected, it didn’t seem to deter elder sister’s affections. She was convinced of his undying affections for her.” “He then came up with the plan to marry my elder sister secretly, convincing her that we would all accept him once they had a baby. My gullible elder sister agreed but the bastard got her pregnant with Adam even before he married her.” “Helpless, father and I could only agree. But he started to show his fox tail around this time. He dem

What will we do if they kill each other?

The next morning, Chris’s villa was bustling with noise and people. All the Walters, young and old along with Neil, Adrian and his family were all present to welcome back Chris and his family. Elizabeth and Emile maintained civility throughout the get together. Normally Emile would avoid interacting with Elizabeth by not going to social gathering hosted by the Walter main house or leaving early; but now she was stuck being the host. Even so she managed it beautifully without causing any awkward moments for Chris or embarrassing Elizabeth. Adam’s smile widened as he nodded in appreciation of his youngest daughter-in-law as he saw her carry herself with elegance and dignity. He knew his son was outstanding in every way, how could his choice of his life partner not be outstanding? Adam’s attention was soon attracted to Night Wing who was being dragged by the mischievous elves. He watched the duo curiously wondering they were up to. Luckily for him, they stopped a few steps away from hi

Daddy, don’t you want us anymore?

Back in the study- “Treasures, mommy and daddy have something important that we want to discuss with you.” Emile and Chris sat opposite to Chris Jnr and Emm so that they could see the kids’ reactions and intervene appropriately. “Mommy, is this why we came to the study before?” Emm asked twisting her little chubby hands that were placed on her lap. “Um” Emile nodded with a serious expression. “Oh” Emm covered her face with her chubby little hands. “Then, did little treasure just confess without being caught?” Emm peeked through the slit between her fingers. “Um” Emile nodded with an amused smile. “That…. Mommy….” Emm tilted her head and looked cautiously at Emile “can you not punish little treasure considering she confessed before you even caught her?” “What do you think?” Emile folded her arms and hooked eyebrows, hiding her smile at the corner of her lips. “Can we punish her just a little then?” Emm negotiated, blinking her big eyes; she turned her puppy eyes towards daddy k

Opening of House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions

The Burke spared no effort to advertise the opening of the House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions. They had sponsored a ramp walk associated with the opening where international models walked the ramp wearing their latest models. All the elites across the country were invited to the event. It was even grander the opening of the previous House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions, both in Dupont’s home front and Chris home front. “What a grand opening?” One of the socialites commented looking around as she walked the red carpet that was extended all the way from the gate to the entrance of the building. The structure of the House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions building was that of fairytale castle; today it looked especially magnificent with the outline of the building was decked with lights. “The Burkes really know how to spoil their sister.” Another socialite commented with a sour tone. “Sister??? Che!!!” Another sneered with her nose pointing to the sky “It’s just a poor

Michelle’s words were like pouring salt over his wound. He glared at her as he pulled his hand out of hers in annoyance. “Why are you looking at me so fiercely?” Michelle pouted with grievance and muttered “I am not the one who has forgotten about you and living happily.” Daniel didn’t respond to Michelle’s provocation, not because he felt guilty but because he was lost in thought. He was thinking of the best way to appear in front of Emile. He imagined the sweet silly smile that adorned her face every time he surprised her in the past, the short, sweet time when Michelle was away. He wondered if she would have the same smile this time when he surprised her by suddenly appearing in front of her. He kept playing in his head the different scenarios of how he would appear in front of her and the lines he would be saying. However, he wasn’t satisfied with any of them. He kept racking his brain when his gaze met with Chris's. He could see the blatant provocation in his smile and the pos
