“How can there be a party without the star?” Darcy laughed as moved to the side to give Neil access to the patients. Neil pretended to check on Chris and Emile before turning face everyone with an apologetic expression. He was getting ready to chase everyone out. However, Elizabeth interrupted his mental build up. “Son, how much longer are you going to ignore mom?” Elizabeth couldn’t bear it any longer; it was as if she didn’t exist in the room. Chris didn’t even look at her, not even once. He had acknowledged everyone else in the room, even the Burkes. “Son, mom was muddle-headed for a moment, she would never knowingly hurt you…” Elizabeth choked as she stepped forward to move closer to Chris. “Heh! Muddleheaded…” Chris snorted as he turned his head, his eyes blazing with anger. “Son…..” Elizabeth was shocked by the hatred she saw in her own son’s eyes even if it was only for a second, a second that his gaze flitted past her. “How long are you going to use the excuse of muddle-h
Never to look back This is my biggest concession.
Elizabeth cried miserably all the way through the hospital corridor to the car. She leaned on Adam as she sobbed “Hubby …. My son….. he hates me…… Hubby, I really didn’t think that ……. I didn’t think….. my son….. he hates me…. Why would I need to live now? Oh…..oh…..” Elizabeth kept blabbering in between her sobs making all the Walters feel uncomfortable. Their little brother wasn’t wrong, but seeing mom in this state was unbearable. Luckily, they didn’t have to endure long, they had reached the car park and split up as their destinations were different. “Dad, I need to go to the company and the ladies have a catch up planned so I will send the kids home with the driver.” Mark spoke once they reached the car park. “Dad, mine too.” Veronica chimed in as she turned to Mark “Big brother, can you drop me and Peter off on your way.” Mark shrugged with a head nod. Soon, it was agreed that the kids were going to their grandparents’ place as the siblings had somewhere to had to be. Emile

“Little brother is right.” Mark opened his mouth once again as he reached the car park “Our tolerance cannot be the measure to harm us even if it is our loved ones.” “I was thinking about it as I walked back” Mark continued “All of us felt compelled to plead with little brother not to be heartless because we saw mom’s pain from his words and actions but none of us saw his pain. Probably we would never understand.” Mark sighed. “Other than second brother, none of us have actually suffered the blow he has.” Mark shook his head “I tried to see from his point of view while I was coming down with you all….” Mark paused as he lowered his head guiltily “Even the thought made me want to cut all ties and never look back….” “It hurt over here ….” Mark rubbed his chest “hurt so terribly that it was difficult to breathe…. I cannot think what little brother went through.” No one spoke as they mulled over Mark words. It made sense, none of them had actually experienced the pain from mom’s underh
Never to look back Surprise!
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
Never to look back Please forgive my cowardice.
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
Never to look back Dad, that lousy acting of yours can only fool mom.
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
