Ben called his family members one by one and explained to each of them that he was going overseas. This did not come as surprise to them as Ben had previous told them that he would not be able to attend this week family gathering. He had told them to go ahead as planned as he did not know when he would be relieved of his current duty. He specifically instructed them not to come to Adalase Manor as entry would be forbidden due to security measures. They all knew about his other identity and although their understanding of the depth of his involvement was different. They knew the necessity for secrecy and would never compromise either him or their country. Patriotism was another Adalase trait.
He gathered all the household staff and gave them holidays; They all dispersed leaving Mr and Mrs Bentley.
“You two should stay at Holy Cross Hospital for a week. Mr Bentley, can you pretend to be the driver as you exit the manor? Keep this mask ti

On the other side of the ocean-Ben and team landed in U country uneventfully and went over to their hotel in a low-key manner hiring a taxi.“Boss, shall I get the reception to organize the delivery of the Gismo?” Shadow asked as he walked into their 4-bedroom suite.“I will deliver it personally.” Ben had a mysterious expression on his face.Frank raised his eyebrows.“Let’s not leave too much trail for others to follow-up on our actions” Ben justified with a matter-of- fact face.Frank and Shadow exchanged glances. ‘Who was he trying to fool? Didn’t they know he was going to check on his imaginary rival?’“Get me his contact details.” Ben instructed Shadow as he walked into his room.Shadow’s work efficiency was always extremely high. He messaged Stewart’s number very quickly.Ben fixed a meeting with Stewart at 2pm at the Cafeteria on the lower level of the faculty of life science research center at the University of Carlingford.Jayden and Kayden quickly set up their systems and

And loads???” Stinton had stars around his eyes.“No…no…. that will be trouble.” Grey shook his head as he tried to pull Stinton and Hark up.“No. Trust me. It’s as easy as this!” Pete raised his hand and flipped a coin.“Really??” Hark sat up drunk and looked at Grey “Why don’t we listen?”“Not good… not good…” Grey shook his head in half drunken state.“Why?” Hark became listless.“We are drunk…. What if we make a mistake? Our wives will kill us.” Grey made a cutthroat gesture before lying back on the table.“How about I take you guys back to the hotel? We can talk tomorrow when you are not drunk.” Pete smiled like an understanding elder.“Can we?” Grey looked confused and mumbled “Okay.”Hark wanted to go to toilet and fumbled his way to the restroom.

Ben came out after shower and sat in the living room staring at his phone. He was looking at the picture of Mr and Mrs Tarzann that he had tricked Dana into taking.‘When will he be able to openly declare that she was his? When would she accept him? How?’ Ben sighed. He couldn’t explain his feeling or why he felt this way. Logically speaking, she wasn’t an extraordinary beauty for him to be taken by her beauty; He had interacted with women who were much more beautiful and delicate.She wasn’t the smartest women he had ever met; He had met woman who were much more capable and successful. It wasn’t a friendship that developed over years and bloomed into love…. There simply wasn’t any reason. He just loved her.On reflection, maybe for argument’s sake one could say that he was just curious after their first meeting. But when did curiosity change into a bone deep feeling? He didn’t know. The more he looked and interacted, regardless of her rejection, he became more convinced ‘She was his’

The phone rang in a couple of minutes. No one answered. Everyone went to their rooms.5 mins later, at the door- “Knock ….knock…”Ben opened the door sleepily after ruffling his hair.“Mr Adalase?”Ben nodded with a displeased expression.“Sorry Sir. But there is an urgent message from a friend requesting you to go back immediately. Something happened to your mom.” The concierge staff had a regretful expression.“Eh?” Ben looked shocked “Ok. Please help me process the checkout procedure.”“No problem Sir.”Ben closed the door and knocked on Shadow’s door.Shadow opened the door. He had completely transformed into Darvin.“Packed?”Shadow nodded.“Book the flights. Give me 5 minutes.”Ben quickly packed his stuff. There wasn’t much to pack anyway. He came out with his suitcases.“Leave them there. We will bring them.” Frank was already waiting in the lounge. Jayden and Kayden were packing their gears.“Leave the surveillance on the target location till we give all clear. You can leave

Ed, Ian, Nathan, Shaun, Hillary and Archer arrived at the conference chamber together.Tyrell came in shortly after with Simon and Amelia.Ed greeted the three of them affectionately although he was a bit cold to Simon. Only those close to Ed would pick the difference.Nathan raised his eyebrows at Archer.“Old comrades” Archer mouthed without voice.Ian and Archer had met Simon and Amelia but were not familiar with them. They were new recruits when they met, and the two had resigned shortly after.Denis walked in mumbling, looked around and walked forward as he spotted Ed “What exactly is your grudge with me?”“Take a seat” Ed suppressed his laughter. Ed knew that even though the event from 3 years ago had left a penumbra, Denis liked working on missions. Unlike the rest of the team, Denis was not part of the military personnel. He was employed by Ed and would be commissioned to task force when Ed required his expertise. He had the choice to reject, and this was the first time he acc

Ed bought everyone to the Evans Airstrip. Denis and Ian were already there.Denis quickly explained the features of the EE40 aircraft to Simon.“I would have taken this baby, but I have to keep up appearance at the base” Ed explained himself to Simon although it was not necessary.“Why are you being polite?”“Um… remember to drop off and pick up at locations away from civilian and surveillance camera eyes.” Ed reminded one last time.Simon and the team took off after activating the cloaking function.“Denis, take Major General and head to our place at Mount Road.”Ed and Ian drove back to base. On the way back, Ed called Ethan and asked him to organize one of his mad house parties at Manor at night.5 mins later Tyrell’s voice came through the earpiece. “in position at lounge C”15 mins later Amelia’s voice came through the earpiece. “in position at dock A”25 mins later Emery’s voice came through as well. “in position at lounge dock 216”Ed looked down at the pictures passed by Sonic

Ed rushed back to the Manor at Mount Road. His phone rang as he opened the door-“Dring …. Dring….”“Hello”“Where are you?” Ben’s tired voice came over from the other side.“Manor at Mount Road. Where are you?”“Just landed. We’ll come over.”“Everyone’s here.”“Um..” Ben paused before adding “Get the kitchen to prepare some food.”“Alright! I will see you guys back here.” Ed hung up and walked straight to the basement ignoring the rest of the team assembled in the lounge.Ed opened the Hatchet to the basement for his team.“Chief” Nathan, Shaun and Hillary stood in attention.“At ease! No need for courtesies.” Ed led them to the living room.“Ben and team will be here shortly. They have two civilians with them.” Ed announced as he sat down.“Is everyone okay for them to stay?”“I think it’s fair since they have contributed so far” Tyrell shrugged. He wasn’t one of those high and mighty protocol overlords.“How are we going to justify their presence?” Daniel frowned.“They don’t need

“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
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

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.
