Ben went up to his study to access his cryptic email account. This was the only location that this account could be accessed. Dana sat on his lap as he viewed all the information he wanted. Bryan car accident was planned by Lester and executed by Anthony’s network. The plan was to kill; Bryan’s fortune, he escaped. Pigle impersonated Aldis Stockwell, the trusted accountant for Adalase enterprise after killing him. He disappeared with the money he swindled before they put the second act into play, Adam’s accident. This time, they didn’t leave any stone unturned. Each of these incidents were videotaped. Perhaps a precautionary measure done by Anthony and Pigle to save their hide and threaten Lester if they ever had a fallout. But it was heart wrenching for Ben and Dana to watch. Dana sobbed uncontrollably as she laid in Ben’s embrace. It was horrific to watch the heavy-duty vehicle ram into Dad’s car… not once…. But till he was pulverized and then into each other destroying all eviden
The next day Dana thought of a problem as they were going through the preparations of Ed’s wedding. “Ben, who is Shadow’s plus one?” “Ask him.” Ben shrugged. “Shadow” Shadow rolled his eyes as he reluctantly stepped out of the dark. “Do you have anyone coming as your plus one?” “No madam.” “How about…” Dana wanted to play matchmaking, but Shadow interrupted “Madam, I am fine.” Dana nodded as if she agreed not to hassle him anymore. “Sarah, is Ruth free?” Dana ignored Shadow and asked Sarah. “She’s free.” Sarah nodded after checking with Frank. “Alright…” Dana clapped her hands excitedly “That’s settled then.” Dana smiled brightly. “What’s settled?” Shadow asked innocently. “Good.” Dana nodded “Steve needs a plus one.” Sarah lifted her eyebrows quizzically. Dana winked gesturing that they would talk later but her gaze never left Shadow’s face. His ears peaked as he heard Ruth’s name but frowned in displeasure as he heard that Dana was asking for Steve. Dana pursed her lip
Dana and Sarah arrived early at Lara’s place that was already bustling with activity. Lara had rented a place close to Ed’s ancestral chapel for the few days up to the wedding. “And here I thought I was early…” Dana sighed as she sat down feigning a miserable expression. Lara giggled as she hugged Dana and Sarah. Mrs Burton was rushing around flustered hurrying everyone; she rushed into Lara’s room to hurry her up when she saw Dana and Sarah. “Dana, my dear girl!” She hugged Dana affectionately and turned to attack Sarah “Sarah” Lara disappeared like a wisp of smoke while Abigail was busy with Dana and Sarah. She was waiting for someone else to be targeted by her mom so that she could escape. Abigail got the dresses for both of them. “Here, you two are going to look like angels” Abigail clapped her hands happily. “When did angels wear lilac?” Dana pouted while Sarah giggled. Soon Tarz’s team and Irene’s staff came to get Lara ready; Dana and Sarah went to the next room to get r
Everyone gathered in groups to socialize while the demon kings ran amok. The older ones, Chris, Rose, Jaz and Kim stood chatting in a circle close to their parents. Weldons and Adalases other than Frank and Ben pairs gathered in a circle. The Ethans were busy with the guests. Steve, Theo and Denis joined the circle of Ed’s military friends. “Hello handsome doctor.” Emery smiled as she lifted her flute in greeting. Steve smiled politely as he lifted his flute in response. “Oh no…no…no…” Bertie cried as he tried to hide behind Bryan. Everyone followed his gaze and saw Lizzie and Lisa walking towards the group, arm in arm smiling sweetly. “Didn’t you say she won’t come?” Jeff raised his eyebrows in a teasing manner. “I said she wasn’t invited.” Bertie retorted resentfully. “Hur… hur… hur…” Bryan, Fred and Jeff didn’t give him any face. Helena frowned as she saw the combo walking towards her, but she regained her calm, indifferent composure. She didn’t know what her sons were up t
Steve and Ian didn’t need to check to know what was wrong with Dana. They ordered Ben to take her away, but she refused saying she could hold on. “Congratulations” Both turned to Ed once they finished the examinations. Soon it was a double celebration, but Abigail told them not to publicize before three months, so the celebration had to be cut short with a discrete ‘to be continued at the Adalase Manor’ message to close family and friends; Both women were forcefully taken to the manor for compulsory rest before the celebration at night to which the Adalase’s, Weldon’s, Evans’s, Burton’s, Carson’s, the special task force, Theo, Steve and Kim were invited. Ruth also got invited as Shadow’s plus one. Frank, Sarah, Steve and the Burton’s stayed behind to apologize and send the guests home before dispersing. Dana fell asleep even before they got home. Ed didn’t go to his place. It was more of a bachelor pad. Don’t even think that he would go back to the Evans manor…. The why… would follo
The next morning, Lisa went to the Goodwin genetic testing center as per her appointment. She waited at one of the coffee tables as agreed. Dr Halliwell and Dr Stays came with the report. “Ms. Henke, I am afraid we don’t have good news.” Dr Stays started the conversation. “What do you mean?” Lisa clutched her heart. “The child has no relation with the sample provided.” Dr Stays moved the certification report towards Lisa. Lisa frowned as she looked at the report with misty eyes. ‘After all these years of waiting and plotting, she was still a loser. No, she hasn’t lost yet!’ She raised her head, her eyes narrowed with determination “I don’t care what your report says. You will re-write it to what I want it to say.” “I am afraid we can’t do that.” Dr Halliwell broke the stalemate. “You don’t want your families anymore?” Lisa sat back with her hands crossed and raised her eyebrows arrogantly. “What’s our family got to do with this?” Dr Stays shook his head before explaining “We on
“Nothing of significance.” Bertie smirked and then slapped the back of his head “Oh… there was something about Uncle Sheridan hiding his illegitimate sons.” “Is that why Auntie is upset?” He turned his innocent gaze at Mrs Sheridan and looked at her with sympathy. Don’t look at how carefree and innocent Bertie looked on the surface. In terms of ruthlessness and venomous tongue, he was no less than his big brothers. “What illegitimate?” Mrs Sheridan fumed. Technically her children were all illegitimate and this was a sore point. “Did I say the wrong thing?” Bertie feigned innocence and scratched the back of his head. “Let’s not beat around the bush.” Lester spoke once he calmed his emotions “You and I know what I am talking about.” “How come I don’t follow?” Bryan hooked his eyebrows as he narrowed his eyebrows. His expression didn’t seem to give away anything. Ben and the rest all had poker faces. “I am not sure how I offended you lot except for the misappropriation of funds. But
Alexa’s instincts were spot on. Lisa didn’t want a drink when the staff later arrived and offered to pour her a drink.Sonic sneaked into the room later while Lisa was sleeping and collected a sample of the drink in the flask. It was coffee laced with Cyanide. What better way to go other than taking your enemy with you?Anthony’s phone rang again at night.Shaun who was good at mimicking voices answered the call.“Hello”“Anthony, it’s Lester.”“So?” Shaun assumed Anthony’s response based on his arrogance.“Let’s cooperate one more time.” Lester went straight to the point “I will do whatever you ask of me in return.”“You are still capable?” Shaun mocked.“I…” Lester frowned but nodded “I will do whatever it takes after you fulfill my requirement.”“You should know that I don’t like empty promises.”“Would it be considered my sincerity if I transfer all my assets with the exception of what belongs to my wife and kids to you?”“Ha….ha….ha…. You sure are desperate.” Shaun laughed as he p
