Chris followed Emile and Abbey were exploring the cottage; a doting smile hung on his face as his gaze followed Emile. Chris had made some renovations after buying the property; he added a few bedrooms, a home theatre and an indoor swim spa adjacent to the sauna room; even the sauna was modified to suit their aesthetics. The lakeside was modified into an idyllic romantic spot. A copper-coloured antique Versailles gazebo with Canopy and table setting for six people was set one side while the other had a lazier arrangement with a hammock, a hanging egg double seat chair arranged with luxurious cushions and a garden wicker outdoor round day bed rattan with canopy. He had spent a lot of effort and money to get the roses that were hardy and resistant to the harsh Finnish winters; he knew they were her favourite flowers. He exported the roses and hired a gardner to specifically tend the roses. As luck would have it, it was summer when the flowers were all in full bloom. Yellow rapeseed fil
Chris walked out of the room with a dark face. He could believe how sinister the woman’s mind was; If she could do something that vicious that at 22, what was she capable of now. Chris began to worry about Emile. He didn’t want to lose his happiness that he had obtained with great difficulty. He suddenly felt that their decision to travel incognito owing to Emile’s request was brilliant. He instructed Night Blade to take Leim back the same way they came and to ensure any traces of their travel here was wiped clean. “Are you going to tell second brother and Marcus?” Emile asked with a heavy heart once they reached back at their cottage. She didn’t know that a woman could be so cruel. She felt suffocated listening to that disgusting man talking about the incident as though it was as simple as going to a shopping mall to get something you liked. She didn’t know if it was because she was pregnant, but her emotions were in a mess. Her heart ached for Marcus who had been deprived of the r
Adrian arrived half an hour later with a blonde slender woman who was about 160 cms tall and a 2-year-old who was just like a doll. “This is my wife, Iris Symonds and our son, Jonah.” Adrian introduced his wife and son to Emile. Jonah was a smaller version of Adrian, charming everyone's heart with a simple glance. “My apologies for having missed your special day.” Iris smiled sincerely as she apologized “My mother was hospitalized, and I needed to be with her.” “Apology accepted.” Emile smiled sweetly before asking in concern “How is your mother now?” “She has stabilized now but the doctors aren’t too optimistic about her situation.” Emile patted the back of Iris’s hand to comfort and show her concern. Once the ice was broken, the three women left the men to their own devices and huddled in the entertainment room to gossip. The men too left the main hall and went to the study to discuss their course of action. Adrian and Neil were shocked by the information they saw from the reco
Raphael sat back in his armchair as thought back to his previous conversation with Chris. He had called him in the wee hours of the morning to discuss the details of Emile’s discipleship. Raphael was a recluse especially during the period of time when he went into creative hibernation. He would literally shutdown the world around him, but he didn’t have such requirements for anyone else. The reason he insisted the same for his disciple was solely due to Chris’s request. Emile didn’t have any reason to suspect Raphael; everyone in the designing world knew about his quirk but no one knew whether it would extend to his disciples since he never has any disciples. Chris had a mischievous smirk at the corner of lips as he drove out of the Dupont estate. He couldn’t believe that Raphael could keep a straight face while he was lying with his eyes wide open. He felt a warm feeling spreading when he thought of Raphael’s indulgence towards him. He wanted Emile to stay in Dupont’s estate even
Eva rushed to Walter manor as soon as Clive came to the hospital to relieve her. Her only goal was to get her passport and rush to the airport. However, once she reached Walter manor, she was surprised to find that it wasn’t the silence she expected but was rather filled with bustle and noise of a full house. Adam was seated in his usual spot reading news on his touchpad. Mark and Darcy were seated in the lounge area discussing something. Elizabeth was sitting next to Adam reviewing one of the fashion mags. Eva looked around in surprise. “You’re back.” Elizabeth asked before she had a chance to take in the fact that the Walters were back “How’s Amanda?” “She’s still the same.” Eva sighed as she sat on the couch next to Elizabeth. Inwardly she felt sour although she didn't show it on face; It looked like they had returned yesterday and yet no one thought of ringing her to let her know that they were back. “Do you know what happened?” Elizabeth asked once again without giving Eva a
“I don’t think you have to worry about this.” Adam’s facial muscles loosened as he spoke, his lips even curled up arrogantly; his family was his pride. He knew how much his children doted and cared about each other; their bottom line was family. “If I am not mistaken, your brothers should be here any time now.” Adam folded his arms as he scoffed “I am surprised it took them this long. The delay must be either to blindfolding your mother or sisters.” “Huh?” Both Eric and Chris looked at their father in confusion. “Do you think your brothers won’t see through his lousy performance?” Adam raised his hand and slapped the back of Eric’s head with his hand. “Dad…” Eric called out in disagreement; Chris’s lips curled down. “What you need to do is think about how to tell this to your brothers.” Adam shrugged bringing their attention back to the issue at hand. “Since you made the mess, I will leave this to you.” Chris washed his hands cleanly even before Eric had a chance to defend himsel
Emile twisted and turned uncomfortably on her bed. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t sleep which was quite a contradiction to her state since she got pregnant. Previously when Chris was with her, she could fall asleep just by sitting quietly for a few minutes and now, no matter how many sheep or pigeons she counted, she just couldn’t sleep. Emile had never been one to take a back seat even though she had 6 older brothers to shield her from the wind and rain. It was probably because she had 6 older brothers to pamper her to the moon and back, she grew up as the ringleader, never afraid to get into trouble. Emile only fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning once she decided that she would do what she could to help Chris. She thought through all the threads of Chris’s investigation before deciding what she was going to do; after sieving through the information, she decided to investigate Grace. She fell asleep thinking about the direction of her investigation. Emile woke up ear
Sheryl waited patiently for Daniel to come begging her for cooperation. She knew that he wouldn’t be able to meet her as she had heard that the Walters had all left the very next day after the wedding from Silas, even before she passed the information to Daniel. Her reason for passing the useless message was to lure Daniel into her scheme. Things would be much easier with someone else to do the leg work and take the blame. Meanwhile, Daniel decided to follow his grandfather’s advice. He decided to concentrate on his relationship with Michelle. Over the next few days, he consciously made the effort to spend more time with Michelle and not think about anything related to Emile. He even wanted to delete all the photos that he had secretly taken and was his prized possession, however when it came to doing it, he couldn’t. The most he could get himself to do was move the folder into a hidden folder that was out of his sight. He left all the responsibilities of day-to-day functioning of th
