“Do you plan to unveil on his birthday?” Lorenzo asked with an evil grin. “No” Darcy didn’t have to think; he wanted to make up for all the birthdays that he had been perfunctory over the years. Nothing was more important, not even revenge. “Second brother listen to what I have to say.” Chris smiled as he added “I have hinted to Marcus before, and he didn’t have any objections but…” Chris paused purposefully as he knew second brother was anxious and wanted to muck around with him. Mark shook his head helplessly as he saw through his little brother’s thoughts and his panicked second brother. The others all had an expression of schadenfreude written all over their faces. “Come on… spit it out… ‘but’ what?” Darcy urged anxiously seeing that Chris had stopped speaking and was pursing his lips into a straight line. “Enough…. Stop messing around with your second brother.” Mark slapped the back of Chris’s head gently. “After seeing sister-in-law at the party, he came to me asked if the
“And…” There was pin drop silence in the room as everyone looked at him anxiously as they waited for his next words. But Chris had no intention of speaking; he was savouring the sight of his unflinching siblings squirm anxiously when he got slapped at the back of his head. “Is it fun to watch your brothers squirm?” Adam narrowed his eyes reprimanding his little prankster who had grown up to be fine young man and yet had moments like this despite his age and persona he created for himself in front of the world. Although he was reprimanding, there wasn’t even the slightest hint of reproach in his eyes other than a playful glint. “Yes...” Chris admitted with a resentful pout as he rubbed his head and turned to look at the culprit who had the nerve to imitate his father. “Dad…. Why are you here?” Chris’s eyes widened in surprise before smiling flatteringly at Adam; he didn’t forget to glare at Night Wing for not warning him. Poor Night Wing could only mouth ‘Sorry’ with a helpless expr
“I didn’t know why the girl who had such a bad reputation would want to avoid me. So, I decided to ask clearly. I asked her why she wanted to avoid me and whether I did her any harm?” “Although she was hesitant at first, eventually she told me that her best friend told her that the reason she had encounter all these bad experiences was because she was trying to impress the young master Walter.” “I promised her that I had never tried to harm her and asked if her friend was mistaken or lied to her.” “She told me that her friend had asked around for a while before finally finding the answer and that she wouldn’t lie.” “I don’t know why I trusted her but started looking into the previous incidents and paying attention to her affairs. This was when I realized that everything that happened to the poor girl was courtesy of my best friend and his sister.” “I had a huge fight with them...” Adam sighed “Long story short, Over time the fights became too often and the brotherhood from friends
“Is it a friend or foe?” “What do we do?” Darcy frowned as he asked in frustration; He didn’t want to go on like this, but he didn’t want to jeopardize Chris’s meticulous planning. Since it was Chris that drove these investigations, everyone turned to look at him. “I think we can proceed as planned, considering both times assistance was rendered in a timely manner. If I were a gambling man, I would put my money on friend.” Chris spoke slowly as he weighed each word “Big brother what do you think?” “Umm” Mark nodded in agreement although his expression didn’t loosen. With Mark’s nod of approval, all the brothers turned their gazes towards Adam. “I agree to go ahead without fussing about Harper Holdings but….” Adam paused and then added “But we should hold taking action before finding where and what Hugo is up to.” “Dad, I disagree.” Chris was first to retort “Hugo would have surfaced if he had more fire power in his arsenal rather than hide behind Senior Mrs Walter.” “Dad, I agre
Darcy’s shamelessness didn’t end there. He kicked his son whom he had been sticking to like plaster since knowing he was his and Grace’s son. “Dad, how shameless can you be?” Marcus twisted his lips in disdain. “What face?? If I can be with your mother, what face? I wouldn’t even care about my life.” Darcy retorted before closing the door. Marcus knew the door wouldn’t open and wondered if he should go downstairs and trouble his little uncle. All of sudden he didn’t want to behave as any other normal young man would… he wanted to make up for all the years of neglect he was owed. However even before he could head downstairs Night Wing escorted him to his room “Don’t even think about throwing a tantrum with your little uncle. Your little aunt needs to rest.” “Why is my life miserable?” Marcus feigned a wronged expression although he was feeling extremely happy. “I would have gone back with Miles if I knew my parents were so heartless.” Night Wing rolled his eyes as he walked out.
Walter brothers were extremely busy, each investigating through their own vines. Lorenzo activated his family’s network in the dark. Since Chris’s team had tracked the shipping and later Hugo sailing to Durban and Durban being famous for its dark streaks, they naturally passed this info to Lorenzo. Getting information from these areas was his forte. The most relaxed person these three days was Darcy, enjoying sweet time with his wife and son, trying to catch up on all the years they missed. At the same in Maldives, Eva was having the time of her life, living her dream. The man she loved was hers; she no longer had to be on edge wondering what would happen after Marcus’s birthday which was in another 2 weeks. She knew she could get him to renew the contract and stay as Second Mrs Walter for as long as she had the lives of his parents in her hands, but that wouldn’t guarantee him staying with her. She knew his love for Grace. She couldn’t guarantee that Grace wouldn’t suddenly appear
Eva and Darcy came back after their weeklong honeymoon trip. Contrary to Eva's previous quiet behaviour, this time she flaunted her good fortune without a second thought. Eva could feel the difference in treatment from Elizabeth and Sarah but she was too happy in her own world that she didn’t give it a second thought. In her arrogance, she put down their difference in attitude to them sulking over the fact that he had taken her on a trip instead of their norm. During dinner she distributed the gifts she brought for everyone enthusiastically feigning ignorance to their disgusted indifference. She happily chatted telling them all the details of their trip, she didn’t care if the listener was interested or not; it was as if she was addicted to showing off their love life. The next 2 weeks went by without any incidents. Darcy and Grace lived in their little pink bubble after Marcus reluctantly went back to university. Grace felt her heart well up with warmth and guilt after she knew how
Darcy had just walked in through the front door holding Grace in his arms behind Marcus who looked like he had won the whole world. The appearance of the family of three who walked in with blissful, happy smiles was like driving a sharp knife into Eva’s chest. Her eyes went red with fury as blood rushed into her brain; she couldn’t care less about her image and rushed towards them like a mad woman. Darcy had taken in her movements from the corner of his eyes, but he didn’t want to glorify her reaction with a response. He conveniently feigned ignorance and greeted the guests, casually chatting with those who came up to him. It wasn’t just Darcy, the rest of the Walter clan had seen Eva’s reaction however no one other than Chris had a reaction. Chris nodded towards Night Wing as he saw Eva going crazy and calmly walked towards Darcy. “You bitch…” Eva rushed forward as she scolded and swung her arm towards Grace. Grace closed her eyes knowing that she couldn’t escape since they were su
