Daniel knew the woman in front of him. He had investigated Chris’s life 4 years ago when after Grandpa showed him Emile’s wedding reception video. Amanda smiled gracefully feigning ignorance to Daniel’s shock and repeated her question “Why is Mr Holston drinking on his own when he has such a beautiful wife and children?” “Ms Caldwell is mistaken.” Daniel regained his composure and answered with a straight face “I am neither married nor do I have kids.” “Oh… yes, how could I forget?” Amanda maintained her smile as she sat down “You are a divorced, ignorant father to two adorable kids.” Daniel knitted his brows but didn’t justify nor deny the allegation and went back to concentrating on his drinks ignoring Amanda. He wasn't in the mood to entertain another delinquent. “Mr Holston, do you want to feign ignorance and drown your love in alcohol while someone else takes over your life as husband and father?” Amanda didn’t beat around the bush as she knew that Daniel wasn’t the type who

“Boss, we are here….” George’s call brought him back to reality and he quickly wiped his tears. “Please let your Mr Walter know that Mr Holston is here to visit.” George informed the security guard at the gate. He didn’t ask if Mr Walter was home because they had already enquired and knew he was home with the kids. “Boss, there’s a gentleman here to visit Mr Walter. He introduced himself as Mr Holston.” The security guard spoke into his walkie talkie. He pressed the button to open the gate after getting approval from his boss. George was about to politely thank the security guard when he noticed that the security guard had no intention of even acknowledging him after he finished his task unlike other security guards who fawned on guests. Inside Chris’s villa- “Boss, Mr Holston is here to see you.” Night Wing announced before muttering “He must be here for the kids.” “Um” Chris nodded as he left the study, heading towards the lounge “Amanda met with him. It was only a matter of ti

“Wife, calm down.” Chris gently massaged Emile’s back as he coaxed her. He could feel her trembling in anger.“Calm down??” Emile hissed as she glared at Chris.Chris scratched the back of his head looking like a pitiful kid who didn’t know how to fix his mistake.“How dare he? How dare he have the nerve to walk in here and make a demand for my kids?” Emile had no intention of calming down, she was fuming… like an erupting volcano.Both Thomas and Angel sat in their seats drinking tea pretending to be invisible and ignorant of everything that was happening around them; they both knew that the deaf and blind child lived longer.“How should we deal with him? I will listen to my wife.” Chris coaxed in a gentle voice.“Mommy, we should teach that bad guy a lesson.” Emm waved her hands fiercely in air. No one knew when Emm and Chris Jnr came down.“Yes, mommy thinks so too.” Emile nodded as she bit her lower lip with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.“How about we go at night and put him in

Daniel arrived earlier than Amanda as he had a meeting with one of his clients just before his appointment with Amanda. He couldn’t be bothered to change rooms, so he informed reception to let Amanda know of the change in rooms and to bring her to where he was.Amanda arrived on time, she was courteous and didn’t lack a single point on etiquette. She gracefully accepted the change in room and walked over to the designated room with the receptionist although she was fuming inwardly. She did have a trick up her sleeve.She had bribed the hotel staff to burn an incense in the room she had previously booked; the intent was to trade flesh and coax Daniel into doing her bidding out of helplessness. Little did she know that it was a good thing that her trick didn’t come to fruition, otherwise her collaboration with Daniel would have burned with the incense. Daniel was stubborn as a mule and was not someone who could be coerced. Manipulated, yes…. but coerced, never. It would backfire in ways

“Get me the details of the person my wife is meeting today.”Night Wing nodded in acknowledgement and left the room while Chris got busy with getting the kids ready to head for the Walter board meeting where all shareholders had to attend quarterly meetings; they could either attend in person or proxy.“Dad, what’s on the agenda for today’s meeting?” Chris Jnr asked as they sat in the car driving towards the headquarters of Walter Empire. Although Chris Jnr’s voice was childish, there was no childishness in the tone. He and Emm were used to board meetings; Chris always took them for the meetings of both Evergreen Heights and Devil’s Empire from when they were 3 months old. They had begun their training from when they were 2 unlike other second-generation rich kids.“Exploring new prospects” Chris’s response was also business-like; he never laudatory in his response with his kids. To him, this was how his kids should be, there was nothing noteworthy in this, it was a norm for his kids.
