“What’s wrong?” Ben asked in concern with a doting expression as he saw Dana’s wronged expression. He felt bad even though he knew she was feigning grievance. “That lady spoiled the doll I bought.” Dana pouted as if she was about to cry and muttered “I wanted to gift this to Blossom.” Ben raised his head, his eyes were filled with a warning light as asked, “Is this true?” “Yes.” Lara nodded happily playing to Dana’s tone. Arora misunderstood Ben’s question to be in her favor as though he didn’t believe Dana and walked forward with an aggrieved expression “Ben, you know me. Why would I do something like that?” She raised her hand to hold Ben’s but missed as Ben side stepped pulling Dana into his embrace. “Shadow” Shadow walked in and stood politely awaiting orders. “Please file a complaint for purposeful damage of personal goods.” Ben handed the doll and invoice to Shadow before turning to the shop staff “Do give him a copy of the video surveillance here.” The staff nodded befor
Sonic took the staff over to the precinct along with a written complaint from Frank. The shop staff begged for mercy and promised she would leave town and never come back. Sonic relayed Ben message “You have helped us by telling the truth. We will make your service known to the person you hurt. If she forgives you, then scram from the city. But you will have to stay in tonight.” The shop staff nodded eagerly and promised. She didn’t want to stay in prison. She was too young to rot in this place. She swore to herself that if she got out of this, she would leave this city and never do anything dishonest even if she didn’t have a morsel to eat. “Dring….Dring…” Frank called as Ben and Dana along with Lara and Ed were getting in the car to head to skylight. Ben had made all the necessary arrangements. “How is Sarah?” “She is fine. It was just a scare.” “Um.” Ben paused for a minute before opening his mouth to apologize “Sorry” “For???” Ben went silent. He knew Frank knew what it was
“What are you planning to do once you set me free?” Dana asked with a mischievous smile. Ben watched her happy face and decided to ignore the heartless woman. He pursed his lips and looked out the window. Ben’s childishness had wiped away the gloom in her heart as she laughed happily poking his cheeks “Are you gloomy because you thought I was sad as I was still in love with that jerk?” Ben abruptly turned his head to face Dana in confusion as he heard her call the bastard ‘jerk’. “Ha…. ha… ha…” Dana laughed happily. His guilt was written all over his face. Although Shadow had lifted the partition, he could still hear the conversation. He rolled his eyes; ‘Madam was too willful to tease his Boss so blatantly. Especially when his Boss was willingly going to give up him happiness for her sake. The man made a mistake… so what? What’s there to laugh about?’ “You… you…” Ben couldn’t say past the you. He was afraid to hear the answer. Dana stopped laughing and pursed her lips as she took
Dana soon fell into a peaceful sleep after being coaxed patiently by Ben. He watched her peaceful face as he decided his next steps. He remembered the wedding he owed her but there were things that needed to happen sooner. He decided to have a serious discussion with his wife tomorrow, he needed to introduce her to the world. He needed the world to know, she was his. No one could have designs about her and sleep peacefully. Ben got up from bed the next morning in response to Mrs. Bentley’s urgent knocking. He left the bed quietly and quickly so that Dana could sleep a little longer. “Ben, there’s Master Evans…. No Major General and his lady friend.” Mrs Bentley twisted her clasped fingers, she had no choice but to wake him. “Just call him Ed. He’s fine.” Ben chuckled seeing Mrs Bentley flustered appearance “Don’t worry. Make them comfortable. I will be down soon.” “Do I have to make him comfortable?” Mrs Bentley rolled her eyes. The Evans and Weldon boys treated this as their own h
Ben coaxed her gently to pick up the call. He hugged her in his arms as she attended the call in a shaky voice “Hello” “Dana??” “Yes” “Child it’s dad!” “Um” “Are you still angry?” “Um…” Dana didn’t actually know if she was really angry. “Looks like your temper is even bigger than your dad’s.” her father chuckled. “Mark called us yesterday” Her father paused. Dana sighed helplessly inwardly. ‘What was coming would eventually come!’ Ben hugged her closer as he felt her helplessness. “Are you happy?” Her father’s tired voice came from the other end. “Um” “Then don’t worry about anything else. Stay happy.” He smiled although he knew she couldn’t see him. Tears welled up in Dana’s eyes. This was not what she expected. “Dana, its mom.” Her mom’s weepy voice from the other end. Dana figured she might have snatched the phone from Dad listening to the background conversation. “Um” “Don’t worry about wagging tongues. You just be happy, okay?” Her mom spoke between sobs. She coul
Ben and team raced to the Savian. It took them only 10 mins with Ed’s flashing lights literally stopping traffic and Ben’s car that was modified to match a racecars aerodynamics for speed and performance. “Chief, we have no visual, but heat sensors have lit up with six standing, three sitting and one lying down just below us. Sending coordinates.” Archer’s voice came over the Ed’s walkie talkie as they entered the Savian. Ed turned off the flashing lights and ordered “Eyes on target. Alert me if you have any moment.” They moved noiselessly until they were 3 feet away from the coordinates and close to a clearing. They ditched the car under the cover of bushes and stealthily made their way towards the clearing from four different angles. They signaled a plan for their operations once they had a clear view of the cottage in the clearing. Shadow circled the area jumping from one branch to the other before reaching back in his original spot. He signaled to the rest that the cottage had
“How did I offend them?” Dana pouted. “You didn’t offend them but the one who paid them.” Ben chuckled in amusement as he gently knocked on her forehead. He was amused as Dana was usually keyed on. These sort of questions were Lara’s and Sarah’s portfolio. Ben only thought about it inwardly. He was not foolish to take the odds of 4 against 1. “Wipe that thought.” Frank pursed his lips that were curled up to the right. “My wife isn’t that stupid.” “Neither is mine!” Ed smirked. How could they not know what Ben was thinking? ‘Coz this was the exact same thought that passed their minds when they heard Dana. Ben shrugged, his face twisted between smile and indifference. “What’s wrong?” Steve asked as he walked in. “She can’t remember what happened before getting knocked out.” Ben’s voice was edged in concern. “More like she’s been knocked silly.” Lara giggled while Dana pouted. “Why don’t you tell me why you suspect memory loss?” Steve sat down with his notepad. Lara and Dana repe
Shadow arranged a meeting with Mr Allister as per Ben’s instructions to meet at Skylight in the afternoon. Roger wondered why Ben wanted to see him urgently; His lips curled up as he thought he might be able to see Dana again. Dana was more than happy to sit this one out as she didn’t want to be anywhere near the creep. Ben promised he would let her listen in on the conversation; he didn’t want her anywhere near a man who would covet his wife. Dana waited with Lara and Sarah in Ben’s usual box while Ben went to meet with Roger along with Frank and Ed to a different one. “Mr Adalase.” Roger greeted amiably but his eyes wandered behind Ben only to be disappointed. He realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw Ed and Frank following Ben. “I take it this is more than our petty indifference.” Roger pursed his lips. He was not going to fight with Ben, he knew he wouldn’t win in any case. Especially after Dana slapped him for Ben. But he was still a bit unwilling in his heart.
