Amber opened her eyes groggily trying to remember the miserable night. It was not an adventure worth mentioning. The purple and green marks on her body were enough to vouch for the ferocity of the night. The only regrettable part was that man lying next to her was not Ben. She quietly got up and went to the bathroom to change her clothes. She wanted to slip away quietly but the man was seated naked on the sofa when she came out. She turned her head resentfully as she muttered “Can you put some clothes on?” “I want to eat you again.” He smiled lustfully. “I have cleaned up.” Amber refused. He got up and pulled her into the bathroom “I haven’t. Wash me and Indulge me.” He blew warm air into her ears. Amber recoiled, but she had no choice other than comply. He took her violently and urgently in the shower. He only let her wash him after he had two rounds of battle. He liked her taste, her disdain, her unwilling compromise! She reminded him of someone else. A woman he enjoyed a long t
She gave up struggling as she needed to stir “For now, you will have to make do with this 'I' country dish.” “If it’s made by you, I can even eat the dish from hell.” Ben nibbled on her soft lobes. “Ben don’t be like this.” Dana tilted her head ticklishly. “Um.” Ben had no intention of stopping. Dana turned the stove off and turned to face him. She pushed a plate to his hands “Go keep them on the table.” Ben grunted but complied. Dana carried both the dishes and the coffee to the table before serving. Ben looked at the soft fluffy mass on his plate curiously. “Do you like sweet or savory?” Dana asked before turning back to go to the kitchen. “I have never eaten this. I don’t know. How do you eat it?” “Most people eat with sugar sprinkled over it. I like to mix with something spicy.” “I will try spicy.” Dana nodded but hesitated “Actually eat with sugar today. The curry is leftover from 2 days. I am not sure if you…...” “I will eat what you are eating.” Ben interrupted pursin
Eva sat down with a grim expression “Cuppa can wait.” She did not think of herself as an outsider when it came to Dana. She considered Dana as her goddaughter. Dana smiled and sat down with Eva acting like a spoilt child “Why the grim face? Are you not happy to see me?” Dana pouted. “How can that be?” Eva’s expression eased as she turned towards Dana and smiled “How have you been, my dear child?” Dana smiled sweetly as hugged Eva “I couldn’t be better now that you are here.” “You sure know how to make an old lady blush.” Eva smiled affectionately holding Dana’s hand; her expression changed as she looked pointedly at Ben who was standing with a dark face “Dana, who is this?” Eva was a good judge of character. She knew this man was not to be trifled with. She wouldn’t let anyone take advantage of her girl. Dana walked up to Ben and pulled him forward to sit beside Eva “Auntie Eva, this is my husband……” “Stop right there, young lady.” Eva narrowed her eyes as she interrupted Dana “
Ben helped Dana carry all the stuff to her apartment in Peach Blossom before driving away to catch up with his friends. Lara had not yet arrived. Dana settled the little ones in her room before going to set the table for Lara. Everyone was already seated and waiting for Ben when he arrived. Ed and Frank looked curiously at Ben as they still didn’t know how his mental state was. The two cowards didn’t have the courage to call him and ask. “I guess everything is settled.” Ed raised his eyebrows. “Better.” Ben smiled. “So, are you going to kill us with suspense or tell us what went on?” Tyrell asked impatiently. He was dying to know what happened. ‘Bloody Frank and Ed kept playing Dodge ball.’ Ben smiled and raised his cup “Friends, let me celebrate an important milestone in my life with my dearest friends.” Everyone raised their cups and clinked, but their jaws fell open as they heard the rest. “I am married to the love of my life.” “Son, are you alright?” Daniel finally asked a
“Alright.” Dana stood up to make a call. She came back after 20 mins with a bright smile. “Tomorrow sharp 8:30 pm, Brighton studio. Interview with Laurie Brighton for her “Uncovering the truth episode.” “What?” Lara opened her mouth wide “You know Laurie??” “Nope. I just called in a favor.” “Who owes you such a big favor?” Lara pouted. “Harvey Brighton” “You mean … the president of Brighton studio.” Lara asked in surprise. “One and the same.” Dana smirked. “Wife, how do you know Harvey?” Ben frowned. He didn’t like Harvey. Ed and Frank had knitted brows as well. “You, don’t like him, do you?” Dana asked hesitantly as she heard his tone. “No.” “I am not friends with him. He just owes me a favor.” Dana shrugged. “Why does he owe you a favor?” “Can I say patient confidentiality?” Dana wrinkled her eyebrows. “No.” “Hymph.” Dana pouted looking at Lara for support. Lara shrugged as if to say ‘Girl you’re married. This is between you two!’ “He was caught in a compromised posit
The next morning, Dana was woken up by Ben’s touch. “Ben… stop… let me sleep.” Dana murmured trying to push him away. But he caught her hands and pined them over head as he nibbled and teased her peaks. Dana opened her eyes as a wave of sensual pleasure swept over her. Her face turned pink as she realized that they were both naked. Ben hugged her tightly, rubbing his bare skin against hers “Good morning wife.” Ben shifted pulling her on to his body. Dana’s hands touched a swollen firm rod between Ben’s legs and pulled her hands as if she was scalded. Ben chuckled as he half-stood on the bed, proudly displaying his general. “Aahhh” Dana shrieked but quickly covered her mouth. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw the size. ‘No… no that …’ She quickly covered her eyes. “Wife, he’s been in, and he loves it there.” Ben chuckled shamelessly as pressed Dana down and making love to his heart’s content. Was he actually satisfied? If he could, he would eat all day. But poor Dana was like a f
Bertie and Helena won. But that was no surprise. Half of Bryan catch went to Bertie’s basket. Cathy also tossed a few when no one was looking. Everyone packed up and swaggered off to the old house. Dana looked at the time and twisted her lips ‘If they left in 10 mins, she could make it in time for the last sermon for the day.’ What Dana didn’t know was that there was a quaint chapel 20 mins away and this was the Adalase family chapel. “Are you in a hurry?” Cathy asked as she saw Dana’s conflicted expression. Usually, the get together would wind up with the afternoon activities. But today since they had a new member joining, everyone wanted to stay back and mingle. “I… No… It’s just that I attend Sunday mass and I ….” Dana didn’t know how to say what she wanted without sounding like she wanted to leave. “That’s cool. Everyone usually attends mass at 5pm before leaving for the city with Ben being the only exception.” Kathy smiled “Will you come? Or do you want to attend your church.
Ben was awfully quiet on the way back to the city. Shadow wondered what happened. But he didn’t want to intrude on the couple’s privacy, so he kept to himself. “What are you thinking about?” Dana tilted her head to look at Ben as she felt his heart beats becoming irregular. “Curious about what Father Clement and mom said?” Dana asked when she didn’t get an answer. “Um” “Then go and see.” Dana shrugged. “What if I find out something I don’t want to know or am not proud of.” Ben knitted his brows in worry. For some reason he couldn’t brush it off. He knew the resistance he felt towards the church was very strong. He even surprised himself when he entered today. “We will deal with it together.” She intertwined her hands with his. “You won’t run?” Ben raised his eyebrows. “Hymph!” Dana turned and lifted her chin resentfully with a pout “Why should I run?”. “Hur… hur… hur.” Ben laughed as he turned her to face him “Alright. Let’s make a trip down there. But remember you promised.”
“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
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
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
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
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;
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
In a condemned cell in B country, Pigle read the news of embezzlement of 10 million in public funds from Pigle enterprises. He begged the prison guards to let him see his son one last time.Jefferson indulged him considering he had inadvertently helped Ben get closure to the mystery that was haunting him for more than 15 years.Pigle junior arrived promptly to see his father once he was granted visitation rights.“Son, this is all Mr Adalase’s doing. You have to become strong and hit him hard.” Charles eyes were red with anger.“Dad, I know all about the cause and effect of this incident.” Pigle junior lowered his head in shame. His father was his pride. He looked up to his father but now…. looking at all the shameful things his father had done, he didn’t want any part in it. He wanted to take his mother and run far from all this shame.“Son…” Charles called; his eyes widened as he lifted in eyebrows.Pigle junior showed the video that was sent to him soon after the incident broke out.
