Baby, did you hear what I said?

2024-10-29 19:42:56Dana opened the workshop and started getting ready for the day putting all the uncomfortable thoughts to the side.
She turned the furnace on before sitting to draw. She needed to do the set for Sarah today. She roughly scribbled what she wanted and realized that she needed to see the finished stone before she could decide the size of the other components of the necklace. She made 2 molds with the silicone in the shape of a lotus leaf and added the details she wanted and left it for curing.
She fiddled with her ring while she thought. She had a strange thought. She looked around although she knew no one was around. She quickly put some gold pieces to melt in the furnace and got working. She made a mold of a miniature griffin resting its right foot in a posture to regain control on the phoenix that was rising from the ashes and lending his wings for the griffin in support.
She made two even smaller 2 dimensional versions about a cm tall each. She carefully placed

Ben drove Dana back. He wanted to tell her many times that it was his birthday tomorrow, but he didn’t know how. He just wanted her to accompany him tomorrow for dinner along with Frank and Ed. He was sure if he asked, she would refuse. While he was thinking, they already reached the Dana’s apartment.“Thank you for today.” Dana smiled and turned to get out. Ben looked at the clock to check the time and was wonderstruck as he saw it was just past midnight, which meant his birthday had started; He pulled her back. Looks like his wish was about to come true!“Whaaa…”Ben kissed her passionately. This was his first birthday with her, and he was unwilling to let her go. He pushed the seat down and deepened the kiss. Dana was stupefied by his abnormal reactions…. But then again when she thought about it later this was his norm.Ben pulled back with a smug smile “I was only appreciating the sincerity of yo

Ben couldn’t control the happiness in his heart. It spilled as a smile to his lips. He never thought she would come. He thought Ed was casually pacifying him. But soon his smile disappeared as he thought of the possibility that Ed might have used his relationship with Lara as a shield to force Dana to come.Dana noted all of Ben’s expressions and was confused but she pretended as though she didn’t notice and sat down next to Lara uncomfortably.Ben noted Dana’s discomfort and was even more sure of his theory. He didn’t want her to be uncomfortable. He didn’t want to celebrate his birthday like this.“You are you and I am me. Your relationship is yours and mine is mine…. don’t mix the two. Not for me or for anyone.” Ben spoke in annoyance to a stunned Ed and walked past him towards Dana.Ed looked at Ben’s back in confusion, he knew Ben was really …really angry but wasn’t he su

Kim and Jas were waiting at the door when Dana and team arrived. The duo ran back in as they were walking in.“I am touched…. I can feel the love.” Lara sneered as she saw her niece run the minute, she saw her.Ed felt it was weird that the girls were waiting outside for them a minute ago and now they ran away and even turned the lights off…“Are they angry with us for not taking them along?” Sarah asked guiltily.“Don’t bother… we will teach those stinky kids a lesson if they dare to mess with us?” Lara pretended to roll her sleeve up. As they entered, the lounge area, the lights went up as Steve along with Kim and Jas sang the birthday song and bought a funny looking cake to with a single candle in the center.“Brother-in-law, you can’t despise this cake, I and Jas made it with lots of love.” Kim proudly announced.“Pucchhiii..” Lara looked at the

Dana reached the apartment after the 10th call from Lara.“Lady, I don’t have wings.” Dana scorned as she saw Lara waiting impatiently at the door.“You’re not planning on bailing on me, are you?” This was what Lara was most afraid of. She knew Dana did not like these events and would not force her normally. But this time she was nominated. She was really nervous and wanted Dana to be there.“Isn’t Ed coming?” Dana quirked her eyebrows.“You are bailing, aren’t you?” Lara sat on the sofa with a dramatic shriek.“Did I say so?” Dana felt like she had a headache coming on. She slouched on the sofa next to Lara.“I am really nervous. This is really huge. It is like the biggest event in the industry hosted once every 5 years. It looks at nominations from 6 countries.” Lara started to hyperventilate.“Okay…. okay… I get it. W

Ed walked with Lara towards their car. Once inside the car, Ed leaned close, facing Lara “I want to…” Ed’s face turned red.“Ummm??” Lara raised her eyebrows; she decided to pretend ignorance; Ed looked too cute…Ed edged closer; their breath intertwined… Lara felt like a thousand horses racing in her head. Ed gently sealed her lips; he liked her taste. He nibbled her lower lips and then her upper lips. Lara was staring, eyes wide open. She didn’t expect the shy Ed to suddenly turn into the big bad wolf.Ed raised his hand and covered her eyes and deepened the kiss. He tasted, savored, taunted and devoured. Ed pulled back and stared into her sea green eyes “You’re mine. Life is mine, death is my ghost!”Lara stared at him in a daze. Ed caressed her swollen lips, his lips curled up into a smile. He was very satisfied with her reaction.As the car slowed down, Lara regained he

The banquet was more of an open style where people mingled and got whatever they wanted to eat. Most people took advantage of the opportunity to increase their network and visibility.Dana and Sarah sat chatting in a corner while everyone else walked around mingling. The girls sat with Dana looking around in awe at the world of glitter and glam. Ben wanted to drag Dana along with him, only to be glared at.Lara, being one of the stars of the night was dragged into conversations one after the other along with Ed.Amber spotted Ben toasting with a bunch of entrepreneurs, she picked a glass and swaggered up to him.“Mr Adalase, long time no see.” She smiled seductively and stood next to him almost giving an impression of someone who is close to Ben. She was secretly glad when Ben didn’t come with Dana in a high-profile manner into the venue. This proved that Dana didn’t hold much weight in Ben’s heart and was just another
Destined to love I thought I would have to leave without seeing you one last time… no regrets….
Dana stood in front of 1305 and knocked on the door. She could feel her vision becoming hazier and her body getting hotter. She persisted knocking with all her strength thinking Lara was in trouble. She used a little more force to knock just in case Lara didn’t hear her, but the door that was left slightly ajar opened.Dana walked into the lounge area “Lara… Lara …”The door behind her closed. Dana turned quickly to see Maine standing near the door. Dana shook her head to clear her senses “Why are you here? Where is Lara?”“Dana, I have missed you.” Maine took a few large steps and hugged Dana ignoring her question.Dana pushed him with all her strength. Maine fell back, he wasn’t expecting her to react so fiercely after being drugged. He could see the effects of the drug on her flushed face.“It’s only me and you, here.” Maine smiled. Whether the smile was amiable or s

Bryan was about to turn off the lights when his phone rang.“Dring….Dring….Dring….”Bryan looked at the caller id and frowned. ‘Why was Shadow calling this late?’“Hello” Bryan held his heart in his hand and answered trying to be calm.“Big Brother sorry to disturb at this hour… but something happened. I need help.” Shadow didn’t have the mood for pleasantries. He needed to deal with this and rush back to Boss’s side. Boss didn’t look normal when he left…“What is it?” Bryan’s brows knitted deeper. Shadow would never call him for help unless the person in trouble was Ben.Shadow briefly explained what happened. “What should I do?”“Wait there.”Bryan walked to the closet as he spoke. He changed quickly and came out. He had seen Ben’s state when Dana was kidnapped. This time, he was

“That is not up to you.” Marken, one of the high counsellors disdained. Adalases was not Ben’s to stake at will; There were other Adalases who could refute this stake.Sherman knew Marken’s ambition was no less than Herten, but he also knew that unlike Herten, Marken would never betray his country and was in a good mood for watching a show although he knew what decision he would ultimately make.“That is a fair point.” Sherman nodded thoughtfully before saying “If the entire Adalase can be staked on this man, then I agree.” Sherman chuckled “With resources greater than the reserve bank, it won’t be hard to rebuild our facilities even if we are compromised.”No one could refute this point.“The Weldons won’t shy away from responsibility either.” Frank didn’t know why the commander had changed his colors, but he stood shoulder to shoulder with his brother.Shadow didn’t have anything to offer, but he stood beside Ben. His expression unwavering.Tyrell slowly got up from his chair and wal

Lara delivered a baby girl as her heart’s desire. She only saw her bundle of joy for a minute before her vision blurred. She also saw the joy in her man’s eyes. These were the two things she remembered before she fainted. She didn’t know if she would wake up again or whether this was eternal sleep, but she was gratified.The Evans and Burton elders had just returned when Amy came out holding the bundle of joy. They didn’t have time to process everything before they were handed the little bundle.“She is so sweet.” Megan smiled as looked over Marjorie shoulders.“My daughter-in-law is indeed pretty.” Dana laughed. She knew the minds of the elders were not calm. She was trying to lighten their moods.No one knew when Ben, Frank and Shadow appeared behind their women.“How can it be so easy to snatch my granddaughter?” Marjorie retorted proudly.“Yes…. yes…yes...” Abigail laughed happily as she let the little one hold her finger tightly. Dana’s retort had pulled the elders mind back to th
Destined to love My little girl is strong…. Nothing will happen!
Ben and Dana’s days were filled with love and tranquility. Ben felt like he was in a dream; his life was everything he dreamed of; his beloved woman was his wife; she would cook and wait for him; his house was filled with the laughter of the precious treasures his wife had given him. He was truly grateful to the heavens.Ed’s days were getting hectic. Between the challenges of his official duty and a pregnant wife, he was almost ready to retire. He wanted to spend more time with his wife and child. Seeing Ben’s cute little babies, he couldn’t wait to have his own little treasure.Frank and Sarah didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; their little Lu would run almost every day to see his little wife, especially now that she was becoming prettier. The babies were becoming chubbier with fair skin and rosy cheeks. Their features were becoming more prominent and dashing, melting the hearts of everyone around them.Dan and Don were like a mother hen defending their younger siblings from everyo
Destined to love She can still sleep?
The next day, the Williamses landed and rushed to the hospital. Dana had rested well and regained most of her vigor.Ben was changing nappies while Dana was sleeping peacefully when they arrived.“She can still sleep?” Dana’s younger sister asked in surprise as Ben gestured for them to lower their volume. He handed one baby each to the stunned Mr and Mrs Williams and led all of them to the adjacent room.“Sorry… Dana has just rested.” Ben apologized sincerely for his rudeness.Mrs Williams shook head, her eyes were misty. She was truly grateful to the heavens for her daughter’s fortune to have met such a man. Even though he was rich and powerful, he loved and doted on her without bounds…. This was truly her fortune. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried. On the way back after the wedding they had met a lady who was crying pitifully. Mrs Williams didn’t feel comfortable and lend her a shoulder to lean on; She didn’t know who they were and told them that she was fleeing fro
Destined to love He wouldn’t have a clue.
Ben sat next to Dana urging her to wake up. He was scared out of his wits as he had seen the amount of blood that she lost during the delivery… he feared that she wouldn’t wake up and all his happiness would disappear in the blink of an eye even though Steve repeatedly reassured him that she was fine and just sleeping from exhaustion. He sat next to her telling her how much he missed her.He told her how he felt that a portion of him was missing without her by his side; He told her how much he loved her…. He begged her to wake up… He sat by her side never taking his eyes of her pale face… holding her hand … and begging her to wake up….He started to tell her their story from his perspective. He told her how she disturbed him from their first encounter. How he thought that she had approached him with a purpose, He told her how he shamelessly wanted to see her even if he knew that she had approached him with a purpose.He told her how he used to follow her like a shadow just to feel her
Destined to love What about mine???
Ben was on edge now that Dana was full term. He kept following her nervously like a shadow. One evening just as they finished dinner and were heading upstairs to retire, Dana stood still on the stairs and called weakly “Ben….”“What is it?” Ben looked affectionately at his wife who had stopped walking and became stiff.“I…. my …. I think my water broke.” Dana barely managed to mumble as she held on tightly to Ben.“You…. you….” Ben froze.Alexa was the first to react. She ran downstairs to alert Shadow and Mrs Bentley before running back upstairs to get the baby bag that Dana had prepared beforehand.“CEO” Alexa called out helplessly as she saw a frozen Ben.“Huh?” Ben looked at the panic-stricken Dana and came to his senses. He carried her and ran downstairs carefully. Alexa informed him that Shadow was waiting downstairs with the car. Shadow had informed Steve as soon as Alexa came running downstairs. Everything at the hospital would be set by Steve.Shadow sped towards the hospital;
Destined to love Shouldn’t you at least wait for the lady to agree?
Shadow had been getting along fabulously with Ruth and decided that he wanted to get married watching Ben’s bliss. He had decided on Ruth, then what was the point in delaying… but the problem was he had no idea how to…. he was also worried if Ruth didn’t have the same intention… then wouldn’t he be making a fool of himself?Shadow walked around with a constipated expression. He would have asked Dana’s help if his boss wasn’t so petty…. But what could he do… his boss was!“What’s wrong?” Dana finally asked as she couldn’t bear to watch his miserable face.“I …” Shadow suddenly felt tongue tied. He was waiting for Dana to ask…. But when she did, he didn’t know how to vocalize his problem. He lowered his head with a frown on his lips.“He wants to propose to Ruth but doesn’t know how to.” Ben didn’t give Shadow any face when he mercilessly pierced through his wall.“Oh….” Dana nodded perceptively “You are worried that she doesn’t have that intention and she will reject?”Shadow nodded alt

The ladies went shopping happily without realizing that none of their actions were missed by their men.Dana wanted to see how Ruth was going so she decided to stop by her shop. However, she changed her mind when she got to Ruth’s shop and pulled the others and ran. Granger was at the store pestering Ruth. It was most certainly a crime to stop someone’s fortune and she didn’t want her husband to have another enemy…..hehe…hehe… she was quite clever!“What are you laughing like a fool for?” Lara asked looking at Dana’s silly smile.Dana shrugged keeping her silly smile but didn’t enlighten the two.“Sister-in-law...” A sweet sound called from behind as the ladies were immersed in their world of freedom.The three turned in unison but Dana’s face darkened as she saw Lizzie walking towards her smiling like a flower. She had almost forgotten her promise to Bertie.“When did I become your sister-in-law?” Dana folded her hands looking arrogantly at Lizzie.“Soon… soon we will be family.” Lizz
