You don't owe me anything.

Emile stayed back to take care of Christopher while Abbey left the hospital in the evening promising to come back in the morning.Emile had no idea how she spent the night. After undergoing the sterilization process required to stay in the ICU, Emile stayed by his side…. talking to him…. reflecting on their encounters out loud.... telling him how she regretted not realizing how much he meant to her while she had the chance…. begging him to wake up…. begging him to give her a chance.Abbey arrived early the next morning with breakfast. Emile wasn’t in the mood to eat regardless of how much Abbey compelled her.“How do you plan on looking after him if you don’t have the strength?” Abbey asked in exasperation, not being able to convince her to eat even one mouthful.“I …I…. I am not hungry.” Emile shook her head.“My dear girl, please eat something.” Abbey begged “What will I do if you fall as well?”“Then, who should I take care of? you or him?” Abbey reasoned without giving up. Emile fi

You are mine

Emile knitted her brows and as she raised her head to look at Christopher in confusion.“What if Daniel comes back? What if he wants to be together with you?”Her affection for Daniel was no secret. Everyone who knew them knew about it; he also knew about the price she paid for it.“I take my life very seriously.” Emile stared intently at Christopher as she spoke “So my choices are never made on a whim.”“Despite how I come across or how others perceive me, I am a very stubborn person.” Emile continued without hesitation “I never look back, nor do I hold others accountable for my choices.”“I hate myself for saying this… but…” Christopher shrugged “I would detest myself if I didn’t.”Emile tilted her head encouraging him to speak.“Do you think Daniel hates you?” Christopher started to reason, ignoring the heartache he was feeling.Emile knitted her brows as she seriously considered the question “Maybe not.”“Actually, he likes you.” Christopher lips twisted uncomfortably “It’s just th

I can see the angel of death

Christopher’s recovery speed was astonishing to the medical team even though they put it down to Dr Barr’s exceptional skills. Although Dr Barr staying back to treat Christopher did surprise everyone, they were genuinely happy to bask in his glory and learn from him.“Son, you are good as gold as long as you care of the wound and not get re-infected.” Dr Barr laughed happily after he finished a thorough examination 3 days after Christopher woke up.“Thank you doctor.” Emile was relieved to see the clean bill of health.“Son, can we talk?” Dr Barr coughed to hide his embarrassment.“Sure.” Christopher looked at the medical team and requested “Please excuse us.”Emile was about to walk away when Christopher held her hand “Except her”All the doctors and Abbey walked out.“Speak”“Son…” Dr Barr cleared his throat while Christopher waited patiently.“Can you ask your assistant to give me back my passport?”“Huh?” Emile was shocked as looked from Dr Barr to Christopher.“Did he?” Christoph

Don't look at me like that. My girlfriend will be jealous.

Once the identity crisis was over, Abbey eased up and went back to being her old self although she decided to ignore Night wing.“What exactly happened?” Abbey asked Christopher. Although she knew the gist of what happened, she didn’t know the details. Emile wasn’t in the state to speak coherently when it happened and then, they were both on edge, that it until now.“I decided to follow Emile and when I caught with her, she was being surrounded by some thugs and then this happened.” Christopher pointed to the dressing on his waist.“Did anyone ever tell you that you are a terrible storyteller?” Abbey rolled her eyes. She had gathered this much info from Emile’s incoherent mumblings.Emile took on the narration, describing everything that happened animatedly; now that Christopher was fine, she was well composed and calm. Christopher leaned back against the head rest as he looked at Emile who was sitting beside him with a doting gaze. He could openly admire the girl who had occupied his

She dares??

It had been almost 2 months since Emile's departure; life should have gotten back on track for Daniel and Michelle, and yet there was an uncomfortable stiffness which neither openly admitted.Daniel was mostly in a state of confusion, unable to accept that his feelings for Emile had changed without him realizing and Michelle clouded with her insecurities that stemmed from the realization that Daniel’s feelings for her were no longer the same as they were 3 years ago.Initially when Daniel and Emile had just gotten married, all he had was a good impression of Emile. Although Daniel indulged her and was often manipulated by her into carrying out intimate scenes in front of Emile, he still respected her and admired her integrity for keeping her word despite their provocation.He had even reminded her that they should avoid aggravating her since they were both taking what they needed. But Michelle always conveniently forgot and would later pretend to be aggrieved that she was overcome by

Daniel's secret

While Emile and Christopher were having a sweet time nurturing their relationship and Christopher’s wounds, Daniel was not in high spirits. Grandpa Holston had been hospitalized in a critical condition for the last 15 days and was just transferred from ICU to private ward. However, he still couldn’t cheer himself up. He was definitely happy and relieved his Grandpa was fine; his restlessness was related to Emile who had left him for more than 2 months. He felt stifled by the thought that she was no longer his. Even though he never accepted it in front of anyone, he had realized that he started loving Emile. Emile was no longer a partner with mutual benefits for him. He missed her gentle smile and infatuated gaze ever since she left the villa after divorce. No, that wasn’t true. He had missed it ever since Michelle came back 8 months ago. He was only fooling himself that he loathed her. Most of his anger came from his guilt towards Michelle. In his own twisted way, he felt that Emile

Apology is what I am owed

Christopher was discharged from hospital after a week following a thorough examination. Other than the wound that was yet to be healed, his recovery speed was considered astonishing with no aftereffects. He was glad to be out of hospital after been admitted for close to 2 weeks.2 days later, Emile and Abbey were discussing what to do with the rest of their plans as Christopher might not be able to fly for another few weeks while Night Wing was helping Christopher take a sponge bath.“Let’s keep up with the plan.” Christopher walked out the bathroom with Night Wing’s assistance. “I should be able to fly in another 5 days.”“No” Both Emile and Abbey rejected the plan without thinking.“We will rent a place and stay back for another month.” Emile told Christopher the plan they had just discussed.“No need.” Christopher refused to budge.“I am already back to normal except for not being able take a shower.” Christopher sat beside Emile “There’s really nothing much to do here and Abbey’s

Did you get him in a buy one get one offer?

“Huh?” Emile raised her head to look at Christopher with a confused gaze.“Do you want to make it difficult for Mr Holston to find you or do you want to make it close to impossible unless you want it?” Christopher explained patiently.“Next to impossible.” Emile didn’t have to think “I don’t want anyone to find me before I decide to appear before them.”“Then forget about booking flights.” Christopher’s lips curled mysteriously “Leave the arrangements to me, okay?”“Alright” Both Emile and Abbey nodded without hesitation; neither had any reservations.Christopher called Night Wing to the side to give instructions while Emile and Abbey went to organize lunch. Night Wing was very efficient and meticulous in his work; he made all the required preparations by the time the trio finished lunch. They were set to depart in 2 days’ time.After lunch, Emile and Christopher decided to stroll on the beach while Abbey decided to go for beauty treatments at the hotel.“Why does he want to come now?

Where are you?

The majestic cruise ship was docked at Christian Deccoter Cruise Terminal 2 hours before the departure time. Night Wing loaded all their luggage and reported back to Christopher.“Boss, we don’t have to board till 30 mins before departure.”“Then why don’t we go and get a makeover” Abbey’s eyes sparkled and interrupted the conversation “I saw a makeover shop two streets away from our hotel while I was taking a walk yesterday.”Night Wing rolled his eyes and wanted to object but before he could even open his mouth, Emile too clapped in excitement “Yeah…This way, our incognito status will be fool proof.”Christopher had a doting smile on his smile. Night Wing didn’t voice his opinion. He knew he had lost this battle even before he had a chance to raise his sword. He knew how much his boss valued Emile.“Can we?” Emile tugged Christopher’s arm with a pout as she saw that neither Christopher nor Night Wing had responded.“Um” Chrsitopher nodded “Let’s go.”Abbey led the way while the rest

Which star do you think is the brightest?

The twelve-day tour was another eye opener; Despite the negative reviews online regarding safety and poverty in Madagascar, the natural beauty of the country was astonishing and well worth the trip in Emile’s and Abbey’s dictionary. To Christopher, as long as he could travel with Emile and see her smile, any place was paradise.Whether it was exploring the capital under the introduction of their friendly and knowledgeable tour guide or the vivid landscape or the wildlife that was specific to the land, it was an enjoyable affair.Night Wing followed like the dutiful shadow guard he was although he had no idea what was so amazing about rocks or the weird animals and reptiles he saw along the way. However, he had to admit that as the journey progressed, he found that Emile’s stupid friend didn’t seem so annoying anymore. At least she gave him company in being miserable watching the two lovebirds who had no regard for the feelings of single people around them.After a day’s rest, they set
