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
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.
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
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
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;
