The trip to the Abbey was uneventful and loads of fun. Dana became better acquainted with the Adalase lot; Ben was a lot more relaxed with everyone keeping him company.

Everyone had their quirks; Most important to Dana, she seemed to have stumbled on an explanation for Irene’s prejudice.

They reached outside the outer wall of the Abbey at sundown and decided to camp there till morning.

Ben was restless at night. Dana hugged him “It’s all going to be fine.” She lifted her head to stare into his eyes, resting her chin on his chest “This will all end up being a tale we can laugh about. Don’t stress.”

She traced her fingers on his face “I feel sad seeing you like this.” She took the initiative to kiss him. Ben responded happily and she successfully took his mind off the thing that was troubling him. Moonlight enchanted the scene; the van was filled with romantic atmosphere while the two bodies merged; their hearts beating as one.

The next morning, Ben woke up in high spirits while Dan

  • Destined to love   I have lived for I have been loved; I breathe my last, a folly of my gullibility

    Back in Emerstone castle, Aldrich argued endlessly with his father with no effect. “He either marries Lady Hendrich or I will disown him. He can marry any farmhand and be a lowly peasant.” The old duke insisted stubbornly. “He is the knight of the order of St Michael the Archangel. The whole Abbey of St Michael the Archangel is his to rule. Do you think you disowning him would make a difference?” Aldrich sneered as he stormed out. Christopher had just come back when he saw his usually calm brother storming off. He raised an eyebrow towards his valet, Max Pike. The young valet followed Christopher to his room and told all the gossip he had heard from the parlor maids. The next morning Christopher set off to Viscount Clifford’s house. He asked for the Viscount for his daughter’s hand in marriage. The Viscount was a tactful man of court. He didn’t want to make powerful enemies. He politely declined Christopher and send him off. Beatrice sneaked away from her house and intercepted hi

    William and Louis clenched their fists as they heard Christopher’s last words. They didn’t know who he was talking to… but they were determined to meet again! Ben and team floated above watching the people who were standing frozen in place, they regained their sense and rushed in all directions gathering pails of water and pouring them over the burning cottage. William and Louis walked over to the man who was standing in shock staring at the burning house. “You Samuel Der?” The man looked regretfully at William. He shouldn’t have brought Christopher here. At least he could have saved one life. He didn’t think the stupid woman would burn herself. He only thought that she would move away from home. Samuel hesitated and then nodded. “You will be under my protection, follow me.” William nodded as he walked forward. Samuel followed two steps and stopped; he shook his head “I am responsible for that man’s death. I … I … can’t come. I will pay penance by tending to his fields.” “No nee

  • Destined to love   My dear man, who are you? What did you do to our friend?

    Lisa was waiting anxiously for Ben. She didn’t know if he suspected her since he didn’t call her like he usually did when he was drugged. She purposely greeted him at the dinner to make him aware that she was at the dinner. But the call never came. She couldn’t come to work earlier even though she wanted to as she had taken a week off preemptively. According to their plan, she would let Ben know that she could only give herself if he signed the marriage papers. They assumed that since he didn’t have any other options, he would comply. Her original intention for requesting time off was to give everyone at the company to adjust their mindset to the change in her status. She had written on her leave form that she was going home to spend time with her folks in the countryside. She couldn’t cancel her leave, she had to follow through in order not to let Ben suspect her. She knew his shrewdness, once he knew, her fate would be worse than death itself. She had left the next morning without w

  • Destined to love   To the woman who hooked my soul away, May she be mine for all eternity.

    The Adalase’s arrived first followed by Ben’s and Dana’s friends. Ben introduced Auntie Eva, Steve and Kim to the rest of the family as Dana’s family. Kim chatted nonstop about her exams once she finished complaining about missing a chance to be the bridesmaid. “You haven’t missed your chance. Just don’t piss your sister off. Prepare well for the exams.” Ben smiled. “Really?” Ben made a gesture to tell her that it was a secret. Kim gestured to zip her lips and throw the keys away. Once all the introductions were done, everyone sat down while Bryan stood up to toast “Here’s to A666, without which my hopeless brother would still be chasing his dreams.” Everyone laughed, Ben wrinkled his brows resentfully “How am I hopeless?” “Hur… hur… hur… Even Ed who is usually a piece of wood had caught up with his girlfriend… what else should I call you?” Bryan laughed as he raised his toast high and drank it in a gulp. Ed smiled proudly ‘He had bested Ben in something, but more importantly b

  • Destined to love   Because I love her

    Monday morning- Lisa arrived early, she wanted to chat with Ben before anyone came. She had collected details of Dana’s past during the weekend with the help of her special friend. She knew Ben and Shadow arrived at 8:00 am sharp; the office only started at 8:30, this was plenty of time for her to talk to Ben uninterrupted. However, Ben didn’t arrive until 9:00, just before he was about convene a meeting. Lisa acted like she was delegated to assist with the meeting and rushed about doing stuff without giving Freida and the other two a chance to even ask if their assistance was needed. Shadow made sure Ben was aware as he had more oversight of the secretaries’ room, and he knew Ben was in his own blissful world. Ben walked out with Shadow as he would normally with Lisa following in tow. He stopped in front of the secretaries’ room “Why aren’t you joining?” “We… we…” Piper stuttered. “We thought Lisa was attending.” Freida spoke with a nonchalant expression. She was not afraid. She

    “Wife, are you finished for the day?” Ben picked up the call and started chatting. “Nope. Just a few little things; I should be done by 5.” Dana replied with a smile. “Ben, what was that call for?” Dana couldn’t help asking since Ben had no intention of explaining. “Wife, I wanted you to know the grief I am suffering because you won’t let me publicize that I am married.” Ben spoke in a pained voice. “Puchi…” Dana giggled. “Wife, I also wanted you to know the type of person Lisa is. This is one of my secretaries and probably more difficult to deal with.” Ben pursed his lips “I have made your life difficult.” “Don’t worry about useless things. They are what they are… the past has already happened. Neither I nor you have a time machine. So, we just have to move forward.” Dana shrugged. “But wife, what if….” Ben was truly worried that Lisa would instigate Dana. “What if we make one?” Dana smiled mischievously as she typed her last document “Then let’s go back to the beginning and l

    Ben saw Lisa coming up to him from the corner of his eyes and nodded to Ed. He had promised Dana that he wouldn’t interfere, but he didn’t say his friends would behave. Ed stretched his legs lazily even though he had Lara in his arms as Lisa reached him, he was standing a few feet away from Dana and Ben. Dana was standing nestled in Ben’s embrace and Lisa landed face forward a few inches away from Dana. “Are you alright?” Arora rushed forward to help her up and turned to yell at Ed. She had no idea who Ed was, but she knew Lara. They were competitors and the bitch who got the Peli contract. “You don’t have to fall at her feet to beg forgiveness.” Lara snickered before Arora got her chance. She felt Ed was too handsome. “I…. Major General…” Lisa lowered her head, her eyes brimmed with tears as she lifted her eyes to look at Ed with grievance. Arora paused as she saw Lisa’s attitude towards Ed; She was a smart woman; she knew how to read people. “Ben…” Lisa turned her pitiful perf

    Irene paced anxiously around her little workshop; Amber was meant to be here last week; She agreed to be the model for her clothing line for lumier's 'designer of the year' competition collection, but she was not reachable. In a panic she dialed Gail- “Hello” Gail’s lazy voice came from the other end. “Gail, it’s Irene.” “How’s everything?” “Not good… not good…” Irene shook her head even though she knew Gail couldn’t see her. “Do you know where Amber is?” “No. Why?” Gail’s face bloomed with a smile confident that Irene couldn’t see her. “I can’t reach her … she’s meant to be here to try the clothes and make adjustments.” “Sorry dear…” Gail paused “Tell you what…. I will ask her to call you if she calls me and I will also try calling her.” “Don’t worry, Amber might have gone for a break and should be back by the end of the week.” Gail comforted with feigned concern, her lips curling up in ridicule. “How is the jewelry coming along?” Irene asked anxiously. “They are coming al

    “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;

    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

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
