The next morning Emile woke up in good spirts although she was still weak physically, everything else was progressing well. She looked at the two babies who were sleeping between her and Chris. The strange thing was both babies seemed to be more attached to Chris than her. She looked at the duo that were curled in his arms with a satisfied smile although a strange pang of loss flashed past her eyes. ‘Oh, how she wished they were his!’ But the past was not something that could be undone. “What are you thinking about?” It was the loss that flashed past her eyes that caught Chris’s eyes the moment he woke up. He didn’t know why but he felt a dull ache in his heart as blurted out the question, the answer to which he didn’t want to hear. “I was wishing that I could undo the past. That way I wouldn’t be as stupid as I was in the past and they would truly be yours…...ours.” Emile blurted in a daze without realizing. In her defence, she hadn’t truly woken up. She was still swimming in the s
Burkes stayed for the rest of the evening before going back. Of course, Emile wasn’t the centre of their focus as always…. Sadly, even though she complained several times, other than the babies, they didn’t have anyone else in their eyes giving Chris a chance to show off his steadfast love for her and score several times in front of Emile. Burkes felt it was very strange that none of the Walters showed up but decided to ignore the elephant in their hearts until Harry couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Brother-in-law, why didn’t your family come to visit?” Harry hooked his eyebrows before asking in a teasing tone “Weren’t you siblings especially close?” “They are busy. I told them not to disturb my peace.” Chris shrugged without taking any offense. “Third brother, you are being rude.” Emile pouted before telling everyone how Chris’s siblings decided to stay away from home till everything quietened down so that they would not be forced to act as mediators. “Well done.” Matthias laughed a
Following Adam’s heart to heart with Elizabeth, she didn’t insist on going to the hospital and decided to listen to her husband to give the children time and space to heal. Without Elizabeth's theatrics, Chris and Emile had the peace of mind to slowly take care of themselves and the babies under the indulgence and pampering of the Burkes and Grandpa Holston. Grandpa Holston cherished every second with his great-grandchildren. He lavished the tiny tots with gifts; he gifted the duo a private villa each in Maldives in addition to all the other gifts he brought them. It was almost as though he got infected with the shopping ghost, going berserk shopping all the toys and dresses, he could get his hands on. Chris and Emile repeatedly advised Grandpa Holston not to waste gifts on the tiny tots who had no idea what was happening; Every time they advised him, he would laugh and say that his coffin was rather thin and he couldn't take anything with him when he left. Emile and Chris could only
Everyone sat with a resentful expression as Mark read the contents of the letter. “What a heartless little brother?” Veronica pouted regretfully “I didn’t even get to see the twins. “Me too.” Nola pouted “We should have hugged little sister-in-law’s thigh.” “Yeah…. That little brother is too heartless, it would have been better to dote on little sister-in-law. At least she wouldn’t have ditched us so mercilessly.” Darcy too joined in the fun along with his sisters. “That's why you should have been friends with the Burkes.” Eric shrugged “At least my best friend was kind enough to send me pictures of my nephew and niece, even though it was to show off that he is their favourite uncle.” Although Eric’s original intention was to show off in front of his siblings, his tone turned sour at the end. “You have pics?” Both Veronica and Nola spoke in unison. Veronica didn’t wait for a response and snatched Eric’s phone. She handed it over to her husband to open the lock. Eric’s phone had
Eva waited for the next time I12 came to deliver food for her. It took another 2 weeks before I12 finally appeared before her. Eva put on a docile appearance and stuttered as she asked with a face full of hesitation “That…. That …. That…. Can I ask if you were the one who was with me for the last few months?” “Che!!!” I12 sneered “Did you really think that after 20 years, second young master suddenly took a fancy to you? Are you worthy?” “Yes, that was my wishful thinking.” Eva smiled with a face full of remorse “But I have woken up, since there is no fate, there is no need to waste anymore of time. I have already given 20 years.” I12 really wanted to slap the woman who was performing a lousy act in front of him, but he had to hold it in. His chief had told that it was more fun to see this person’s expression after crumbling their sandcastle. However, for that, he had to patiently endure till the person finished building their sandcastle. Luckily, unlike his other brothers, his stre
Emile and Chris reached their private villa around late in the evening along with Raphael and their entourage. From the Dupont’s staff only Danos came along; Raphael wasn’t worried about security while he was travelling with Chris as he had absolute trust in Chris and knew how efficient Chris’s men were. All of Chris’s men other than the Shadow guards that were permanently stationed at their manor ‘Château de L'Amour Éternel’ all came over to celebrate the christening of their young master and mistress. Chris opened up the rooms at Neil’s place as well to accommodate everyone as the Burkes and Grandpa Holston was coming over. He decided to put Raphael, Grandpa Holston, Eldest uncle, second uncle and Auntie Pearl at Neil’s place as it would be quieter for them. Raphael and Grandpa Holston got along really well, and Chris didn’t have any doubts about the elders in the Burke household getting along with them. The younger generation and their kids were all arranged to stay at Chris’s pl
Eva’s days weren’t hard just monotonous but for someone like Eva whose sole existence was based on being the centre of attention, this was worst than death. She tried to get on I12’s good books without making any progress. The only proof that she existed, and that life was going one, was her increasing tummy. No one cared about Eva’s disappearance, not even the brother whose success was written with her life. The saddest thing was that he never bothered to even enquire where she was, when she failed to return home. He knew that she had been kicked out of Walter residence and the only place she had to go was their home and yet he didn’t even give it a second thought when she didn’t turn up for days. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and yet no one seemed to remember the existence that was once the life of every party in the elite society. Finally, Eva’s delivery date arrived; although Eva would never have chosen to give birth to this child, as time went by, so did her f
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
