“Guess who owns this place?” Ben had a mysterious smile.Tarz pushed the door open and walked in flamboyantly before either Frank or Ed could guess.“Boss” He paused and greeted Frank politely before looking at Ben with a grudge.Ben shrugged and extended his hand “Take a seat.”“You’ve done well, Kiddo.” Ben smiled appreciatively.“Did you figure out who I am?” Tarz asked excitedly. Ben nodded but Frank mercilessly burst his bubble “After I told him.”“Oh” Tarz’s face fell.Ed sat with a bored expression. He had no idea what they were talking about, nor did he have any interest in getting enlightened.“What did you want to talk about?” Tarz asked flatly.“Before, I wanted to ask you what you were hinting at when we met a few months back.” Ben paused and added “After knowing who you are, I also wo
Dana came to Steve’s place along with Lara for her consultation with Kim. Steve reported his account of Kim’s progress. To his surprise, Kim had progressed quite well without any signs of relapse in the last month since Dana reduced her consultancy frequency to once a week. His only complaint now was she neglected food and sleep to catch up on studying.“You sure know how to complain…” Lara’s lips curled in disdain.“Aren’t I worried?” Steve asked with a helpless look.Tsk…. Tsk … parents…. they always think they are right; Whether the coin flips heads or tails.” Lara sneered as she sat cross legged on the sofa.Dana smiled, she didn’t have any comments.Kim came rushing down as she heard Lara’s voice. She knew Dana wouldn’t be far behind.“You’re here” She pounced on both of them and squeezed between them acting like a spoil
Lara was sitting on a pile of dress that she had unloaded from Dana’s wardrobe with a frown. She didn’t like any.“Ding” “Diiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggg” The doorbell kept ringing impatiently.“Coming … coming…” Lara yelled in annoyance as she rushed to open the door.Lara opened and shut the door without thinking. There was two unfamiliar men at the door. Lara pressed the panic button on the bracelet and rushed to Dana’s room and pulled her into corner and shrank back hiding Dana behind her.“SCAR” Lara screamed at the top of lungs as the bell rang non-stop.“What happened?” Dana asked finally finding her voice after being scared silly by Lara.“Ding” “Diiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggg” The person at the door kept ringing.“Sshhhh…..you are not here… I swear I won't talk to ever if you come out without me coming ba
Atlantis hotel was decorated lavishly, no expense spared.The path from the entrance to the hall was decorated in red carpet style with the side lit up with heart shaped path lights. A huge flex of the loving couple who were going to be engaged was placed next to the door and inside the hallway to the Banquet Hall.The guards at the door carefully checked the invitation before letting the invitees in; this was a high-class event with celebrities and personalities from the elite walks of society.Ben as Andrew got off the limited-edition Benz and hooked his arm around Dana Aka Aziza’s waist.“Remember you are Aziza” Ben reminded with a teasing smile as she tried to wriggle out “My wife.” He whispered, gently nibbling her ears blatantly.Dana felt like she was electrocuted, a warm pink rushed up her cheeks.Ben chuckled and decided not to tease her anymore. He walked forward with her.Ed and Lara followed;
“Benjamin Adalase” An arrogant magnetic voice came from the other end.“Cousin, it’s me”“Are you enjoying yourself?”“Enjoying?? Heh… I wouldn’t have come as your representative if I knew you were trash in the eyes of these people.” Ben mocked, his voice menacingly sinister. The surrounding crowd was well aware of Mr Adalase’s ruthlessness. They sub-consciously distanced themselves from the couple.“Oh…. Someone seems to have provoked my dear cousin…” A sinister chuckle came from the other end. “Tell me, how can I make it up to you before you fly out tonight?”“I want them thrown out this instant.” Ben smiled.“Sure… who is the security in front of you?”Ben looked at the name tag of the security closest to him and read “Harman Leyland.”Ben voice domineering voice came from
“Let’s go” Ben stood up after what seemed like ages “The others will kill us otherwise.”“Others??”“Um… they are waiting on the next floor.”“Oh crap!” Dana stood up hurriedly.“Don’t worry… they must have only got there.”Dana knitted her brows and looked suspiciously at Ben. Ben feigned ignorance to her curious expression and walked forward.“Don’t forget the mask” Dana said as she tried to put hers on.“Don’t worry. There is no centralized surveillance on these two floors. These are Frank’s private area.”“Oh” Dana put the mask back and followed Ben out.------Lara and Ed had left the engagement party and drove straight to WestStar. Ed took Lara to his room on the 23rd floor and opened the room. Lara thought Dana was waiting her and followed. She looked around and asked, “Where’s Dana?”“How would I know? Was I not with you all this time?” Ed raised his eyebrows playfully.Lara picked her phone and dialed Dana.“Hello” Dana’s calm voice came from the other end.“Where are you?” L
Ed continued with his story.“We didn’t have many twists and turns compared to Frank and Sarah.” Ed shrugged “Gail and Samantha were Sarah’s roommates and would always accompany Sarah when she came to meet us. Samantha was madly pursing Ben and Gail would quietly accompany them. Now that I think about it, maybe she never really liked me.” Ed reflected.“Anyway, one thing led to the other…one day, we were all drunk. Ben dragged Frank and me away with his last bit of consciousness and went home. When we woke up in the morning, the girls were all lying naked next to us; Sarah was in Frank’s bed, Gail in mine and Samantha in Ben’s. Luckily Ben went home so Samantha was lying naked alone… None of us knew what happened.""The girls cried and said they couldn’t remember anything. We thought we brought them back in a drunken state; Ben swore to us when we told him what happened that he brought us back and left us in the room before going home. There was no one in our rooms when he left us. Sa
Wesley was wandering around Lara’s apartment. He felt that Lara would slip threw his net if he loosened his grip. He waited for 2 days and there was no sign of Lara. He thought of the man with Lara at the engagement party. He wondered if she had moved out with him.He decided to give her a call as he thought complacently that he knew how to get her to come back on all fours.Lara was having breakfast with Ed, Ben, Frank, Dana and Sarah at Frank’s place. Sarah had invited them over. Scar was responsible for bringing them without being spotted.Waiting for your call, I’m waiting for you... winter blooms or spring blossoms, I’m still waiting..Lara’s phone rang. Lu came running with her phone that was left on the lounge in the family room.“Auntie Lara, who is scum?”Ed’s face darkened. He snatched the phone and was about to answer when Dana extended her hand. She shook her head gesturing hgim not to answer. Ed grudgingly gave the phone to Dana.Ben watched with a doting gaze. He was cu
