Life wasn’t smooth for either of them. Darcy wanted to tell his family, but Grace wanted to be able to stand on her own feet before telling his family. This was especially difficult for Darcy who never hid anything from his family. But for her, he was willing. As long as she was happy, as long as she was by his side, he would wait patiently for her to be comfortable for meeting his folks. He tried his best to reassure her that his family was not like the other families. But she wouldn’t bulge. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, she wanted to settle her vampire family members before announcing their marriage. She knew how greedy and insatiable her family members were. She didn’t want them to suck Darcy’s blood dry. She wanted to settle her folks comfortably before settling down herself. She couldn’t bring herself to cut off her relationship with them even though she knew of their materialistic love and unsatiable greed. She thought that once she brings them to settle comfortably the
Emile sat back with a heavy sigh; she didn’t even realize that she had tears streaming down her cheeks. She had been so engrossed in her reading, in Grace's life that she didn’t even register Raphael who came over at who knows what time and was currently sitting beside her reading. “How can anyone survive such an ordeal? Isn’t it tiring?” Raphael in all his wisdom couldn’t understand and concluded with a sigh, affirming his lifelong understanding of love “I was right… love is either fake or tiringly bothersome.” “I still don’t understand why you all flock towards it seeking death.” Raphael’s eyes revealed the confusion of a child, innocent and baffled. “Because….” Emile paused as she saw Raphael’s eyes looking over eagerly “it is the essence of life.” “You only live once, why not live to the fullest… like it mattered… leaving behind traces in the warp of time rather than living a long life that is safe and meaningless...” Emile shrugged. “You think my life is meaningless?” Raphael
“I believe I just figured out how to, or rather where to start looking for Grace.” Emile smiled brilliantly. Raphael’s lips curled up too… he had to admit, Emile’s spirit was infectious. “What do you need me to do?” “Can we look through all universities in the country offering courses in archaeology?” Emile thought for a moment and added “further away from our hometown and the university Grace studied at previously.” “Consider it done.” Raphael turned his head and nodded towards Danos. The rest of the day was spent discussing the designs that Emile handed over in the morning. Raphael was very impressed with the design; it sat well with the concept he had in mind. He discussed the ideas he had in his mind and asked her for imputs; the two modified their designs as they discussed. Raphael told her that they had to have the designs for 24 sets ready in 2 weeks so that Laura, who was responsible for getting the designs from paper to cloth, could have enough time for making and remaki
“What’s bugging you?” Ron put his glass down as he stared straight at Daniel. “I really don’t know what to do.” Daniel pursed his lips as he filled his glass again “I know you all told me that Emile has moved but I can’t give up; I feel suffocated every time I think about it.” Ron listened silently without interrupting. “Then, there’s Michelle. I know she loves me, and I do have feelings for her. I feel like I owe her too much but …” Daniel sat back swirling his drink “But I just don’t know if I am ready to marry her.” “She had a show down yesterday.” Daniel downed his drink before continuing “She wanted me to give her a definitive answer within the end of the week.” “What else do you expect?” Ron spoke slowly “The lady regardless of what I think about her, has been following you for 10 years. She deserves an answer.” “I….” Daniel wanted to defend himself, but he didn’t know where to start. “Do you want to say that you love Emile now?” Ron raised his eyebrows and continued witho
The Walter brothers were also extremely busy once they decided on a course of action. The official businesses under them were all transferred to their right-hand men. Sofia had eased into the role quicker than anyone initiated by the organization; even Chris was impressed. Within a week, not only did Sofia fully integrate with the core team at Shepherd’s but she also found out where the information was archived since the inception of the hospital which was a herculean task as the hospital had been in operation for more than 50 years. Lorenzo didn’t have to sweat much. He had the blueprint of the exact location for the information theft. The information the Walters were most interested in was the GenX lab that had long been closed. Neil’s investigation had revealed that Dr Nicholas Bentley was part of GenX lab although he wasn’t able to find out the projects or his role at the lab. Sofia had passed the keycard that she had swept from one of the security guards to Lorenzo’s men during
“How did you know that the auction for the hitlist was placed by Sheryl?” Adam asked once they exchanged notes. “Uncle Adam, we followed your son’s plan.” Adrian laughed “Make a guess.” “Hacked into the auction house mainframe?” Lorenzo winked; it was a no brainer. Adam shook his head towards Lorenzo before speaking “Killed all the members of the ‘Guns and Snakes’ mob leaving behind the weakest link and the strongest link” his lips curled into a smirk as he continued “Then asked the question who the seller was.” “Once they divulged information, asked them to send a message to the seller and killed them.” Adam’s eyes revealed a killing intent “Am I right?” “Uncle …. you…. how?” Adrian was totally gobsmacked as not just the plan, but the process was also correct down to the ‘t’. Adam didn’t satisfy Adrian’s curiosity, the only response Adrian received was a smug smile. “But that doesn’t guarantee they didn’t lie about the seller or that the answer wasn’t preplanned to mislead” Pet
Everyone dispersed to their residences after coming up with their next course of action leaving behind the two homeless guys, Darcy and Chris. No matter how anxious Darcy was to set the plan in motion, he couldn’t cheat his dear little brother of his opportunity to visit his wife. Chris devoted his weekends to be with his wife; everyone in the family knew about it. He was willing to make an exception for his second brother who had suffered unjustly for the last 20 years but his brother didn’t want him to. Darcy told him that he had waited 20 years, another 2 days delay to put the plan into action was not going to make any difference. Chris and Darcy sat chatting about the details of their plan before Chris too decided to ditch his brother so that he could see his wife earlier. He didn’t have to wait for night fall like the previous times. Chris dressed in an ordinary face mask along with Night Wing and Night Rider who had also changed appearances drove out of their home base and set
Monday morning seemed to be a morning from hell for the Walter household with the phone bells ringing incessantly along with the first rays of sun. Mark and his brothers had just come back from their morning run when they heard the butler announcing to their father that there was an urgent overseas call. Adam came to the main hall area to attend the call while the men gathered around near him. The women were also alarmed since no one ever rang the landline number anymore. Eva had just walked down the stairs when she saw Adam’s fac lose color while holding the phone in a daze. Mark hurriedly took the phone from his father and spoke in his stead. “What’s going on?” Thomas asked in his usual calm manner. Eva stood on the stairs without moving as she concentrated all her senses on the conversation downstairs. She knew they wouldn’t tell her if she asked; this was the only way she could gather information. “Call Chris back.” Mark made the call. He turned to his father “Dad, it’s going
