Chris and Emile followed behind Raphael after informing Eli that they were going to Dupont estate and to inform the kids that they would be back shortly. Raphael didn’t go to their normal living space but walked towards the apartment in the West wing. He stopped in the living area, just outside the door of one of the bedrooms. “Once I remove my mask, I might not have to explain my identity.” Raphael chuckled with a rare hint of playfulness before removing his mask. “You…. you….” Emile stuttered with her eyes wide open in shock; Chris’s facial expression was also one of shock although his reaction wasn’t as exaggerated as Emile. The face that was revealed in front of them was an aged version of Chris…. to be more precise, an aged version of Adam…. The lines added due to the years didn’t reduce his handsomeness in the least, instead it added the charm of wisdom. “Are you Chris’s grandfather?” Emile blurted out stupidly, her expression more sillier than her question. “No but I am….
“Rufus Roman, a tall fair man with a slender frame and scholarly aura was very well behaved and gentle in the early days. He surrounded and flattered Bridget like she was the light of his life. Whether it was on campus or in the streets, their coincidental meetings were a daily occurrence, and it didn't seem to raise any suspicions for my elder sister who was naive to the affairs of the world of men.” Raphael continued with his story. “He had my elder sister eating out of the palm of his hand with ease and no matter how much father and I objected, it didn’t seem to deter elder sister’s affections. She was convinced of his undying affections for her.” “He then came up with the plan to marry my elder sister secretly, convincing her that we would all accept him once they had a baby. My gullible elder sister agreed but the bastard got her pregnant with Adam even before he married her.” “Helpless, father and I could only agree. But he started to show his fox tail around this time. He dem
The next morning, Chris’s villa was bustling with noise and people. All the Walters, young and old along with Neil, Adrian and his family were all present to welcome back Chris and his family. Elizabeth and Emile maintained civility throughout the get together. Normally Emile would avoid interacting with Elizabeth by not going to social gathering hosted by the Walter main house or leaving early; but now she was stuck being the host. Even so she managed it beautifully without causing any awkward moments for Chris or embarrassing Elizabeth. Adam’s smile widened as he nodded in appreciation of his youngest daughter-in-law as he saw her carry herself with elegance and dignity. He knew his son was outstanding in every way, how could his choice of his life partner not be outstanding? Adam’s attention was soon attracted to Night Wing who was being dragged by the mischievous elves. He watched the duo curiously wondering they were up to. Luckily for him, they stopped a few steps away from hi
Back in the study- “Treasures, mommy and daddy have something important that we want to discuss with you.” Emile and Chris sat opposite to Chris Jnr and Emm so that they could see the kids’ reactions and intervene appropriately. “Mommy, is this why we came to the study before?” Emm asked twisting her little chubby hands that were placed on her lap. “Um” Emile nodded with a serious expression. “Oh” Emm covered her face with her chubby little hands. “Then, did little treasure just confess without being caught?” Emm peeked through the slit between her fingers. “Um” Emile nodded with an amused smile. “That…. Mommy….” Emm tilted her head and looked cautiously at Emile “can you not punish little treasure considering she confessed before you even caught her?” “What do you think?” Emile folded her arms and hooked eyebrows, hiding her smile at the corner of her lips. “Can we punish her just a little then?” Emm negotiated, blinking her big eyes; she turned her puppy eyes towards daddy k
The Burke spared no effort to advertise the opening of the House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions. They had sponsored a ramp walk associated with the opening where international models walked the ramp wearing their latest models. All the elites across the country were invited to the event. It was even grander the opening of the previous House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions, both in Dupont’s home front and Chris home front. “What a grand opening?” One of the socialites commented looking around as she walked the red carpet that was extended all the way from the gate to the entrance of the building. The structure of the House of Dupont, Burke and Walter fashions building was that of fairytale castle; today it looked especially magnificent with the outline of the building was decked with lights. “The Burkes really know how to spoil their sister.” Another socialite commented with a sour tone. “Sister??? Che!!!” Another sneered with her nose pointing to the sky “It’s just a poor
Michelle’s words were like pouring salt over his wound. He glared at her as he pulled his hand out of hers in annoyance. “Why are you looking at me so fiercely?” Michelle pouted with grievance and muttered “I am not the one who has forgotten about you and living happily.” Daniel didn’t respond to Michelle’s provocation, not because he felt guilty but because he was lost in thought. He was thinking of the best way to appear in front of Emile. He imagined the sweet silly smile that adorned her face every time he surprised her in the past, the short, sweet time when Michelle was away. He wondered if she would have the same smile this time when he surprised her by suddenly appearing in front of her. He kept playing in his head the different scenarios of how he would appear in front of her and the lines he would be saying. However, he wasn’t satisfied with any of them. He kept racking his brain when his gaze met with Chris's. He could see the blatant provocation in his smile and the pos
“Long no see, Emile.” Daniel extended his hand, as he flashed a charming smile. None of the impatience from before could be seen on his face. To be fair, it was justifiable for anyone who waited in line for such a long time to have some irritation but to Daniel’s credit, his mannerisms were impeccable. “Hello Mr Holston.” Emile smiled, the same smile she wore all evening, without skipping a beat “Hope you enjoyed the show tonight.” “Emile….” Abbey called out from the side before giving anyone a chance to continue the conversation. Emile looked towards Abbey and seeing the anxious look on her face, misunderstood that there was a situation that required her presence. She turned back to face Daniel with the same business-like smile “Excuse me Mr Holston.” She then turned to Chris, the ice on her face melted at a speed not visible to the naked eye as she pouted coquettishly “Hubby, can you manage the guests here?” “Um” Chris nodded with a doting smile. “Mr Holston, I will leave your r
The Burkes and Walters didn’t come forward to join the fun even though one of their ears and half their soul was at the entrance with Chris where the hubbub was transpiring. The Burke brothers were keeping the other major customers entertained although all of them marked this debt in their hearts while the Walter siblings were keeping their mother distracted so that this episode didn’t attract any more negative impressions on Emile. Emile sat distracted on the way back to the hotel, her mind kept reeling on the Chris and Daniel’s exchange at the entrance at the end of the event. Chris didn’t interrupt her thoughts. He silently accompanied her till they reached their suite. “Wife, can you tell me what’s wrong?” Chris asked once they were resting in the lounge after checking on the little ones. “I am fine.” Emile raised her head and smiled sweetly. “Wife, you know me I never intrude on other people’s privacy or thoughts….” Chris paused before continuing “But you are my wife.” “Wife,
