Shadow drove Frank at the fastest speed possible back to the Weldon estate. Frank rushed to his study while Shadow followed close behind. Chris and Rose were watching a movie in the lounge; They looked blankly at each other for a minute after they watched their dad rush like a madman but shrugged and decided to ignore and went back to watching the movie. Frank messaged Ed on his watch; he didn’t have to wait long before Ed came online. “What the hell is going on?” Ed asked in an agitated voice. He was getting anxious as the heart rate alert for Ben on his watch began to pulse. Frank’s message to call couldn’t come a minute sooner! “I need you to sign this using your voice activator privilege.” Frank urged as he displayed the document on the screen. He simultaneously opened the government portal and started completing the required formalities. There was an open license they had requested three months ago. Luckily this was still valid. Frank signed and sealed the original document a
Ben opened his eyes with the first rays of morning light. He lowered his head to look with eyes filled with love at the woman lying in his embrace. She was now his wife. A dream that he had dared to pursue with his all but never hoped to have fruition ... it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t apprehensive about what would happen when she woke up...because she wasn’t yet aware that she was his wife. He had tricked her into marrying him. Looking her sleeping soundly, he kissed her forehead lightly before getting up. He knew she wouldn’t get up any time soon, he was a beast last night... only letting her go once she fainted from exhaustion... his face curled up into a smile as thought of it... Ben turned off the alarm as he left the room closing the door behind him. He went downstairs and opened the front door. There was a suitcase packed with his necessities and the marriage certificate, thanks to Shadow. He must have left it here last night. He left the marriage certificate on the tab
“You have swelling and bleeding in your private area. It is most likely due to the abrasion caused by the intense combat last night” Amy sneered. Dana wanted to find a hole to hide and never come out. Even though Ben’s expression was ugly, he asked “How do we treat this?” “I will give you an ointment to apply. It needs to be applied three times a day for at least two days. However, if she needs to use the toilet between these application times, then re-apply after cleaning thoroughly” She paused and looked at Ben seriously “It’s best to restrain your sexual activities until it heals completely. But if you have to, don’t use any tools like yesterday” ‘Tools?? When did he get time to bring them? When did he use it?’ Dana was staring wide eyed…However, Amy did not notice as she was looking at Ben. She took out an ointment in a red tube and opened in “Here, I will show you how to apply…” “No need.” Ben snatched the tube and interrupted Amy “you can show me on your hand, and I will appl
“Did you not stop and think of how this would affect Dana?” Sarah who was quiet all this time asked in exasperation. “She didn’t know that it was the marriage certificate that she signed” Ben responded lightly. “I am talking about her emotional state after something happened to you” Sarah shook her head in dismay. “It’s not like she’s in love with me and I am irreplaceable... She should be able to forget and move on” Ben responded in a low dejected voice. The thought of Dana moving on felt like a rock crushing against his soul, but he still hoped that would be the case. “You think she doesn’t love you?” Sarah rolled her eyes “You just said before that sex outside of wedlock is her bottom line and Frank said she agreed without hesitation and conditions when she heard that your life was at stake.... Do you think she'll agree if it was someone else?” “No” Ben rejected without even thinking. “Remember what she did when Maine drugged her? A woman who would be reckless about her life,
Dana slept peacefully for a while. As she woke up, she realized that she was lying in Ben’s embrace. Her eyelashes flickered. Ben had also slept off, but he was a light sleeper and had already woken when Dana stirred. He happily watched the subtle expressions that flashed past her face. When he saw her eyelashes flickering, he quickly closed his eyes. He didn’t want to continue the conversation from this morning. Dana did not get up although she had woken up. She listened to his powerful heartbeat that had subconsciously soothed her troubled sleep. She remembered her dream and wondered if it was a dream? After a few minutes, Dana raised her head to look at Ben’s face. This man had forcefully intruded on her life, accompanied without complaints and considered her in his every actions. She had previously decided that she would not get married ever again, but perhaps being married to such a man may not be all that bad! She had silently made up her mind. Regardless of whether she was tri
“Ding…Dong..Ding…Dong...” The doorbell woke them both. Ben got up “I’ll get the door. It might be Shadow” Dana sat up flinching, her body still hurt like hell. She looked resentfully at Ben. “Take your time... or I will come and get you in a few minutes” Ben’s lips curled up in the corner as he pretended not to notice her glare and walked downstairs. Ben opened the door expecting Shadow, however there was just a picnic basket at the front door. Ben raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips forming a mocking smile “You’ve learnt to run as well?” Shadow was not foolish to respond and give away his location nor was he bored to deliver the basket and be at the receiving end of Ben’s tantrums. What Shadow didn’t know was Ben was in an exceptionally good mood as the clouds from the morning has dissipated. Ben closed the door and turned to see Dana slowly coming down the stairs. He quickly put the basket on the dining table and walked up to her. He lifted her horizontally and carried her
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
“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.
