Destined to love An Adalase never breaks a promise.
“Seriously, thank you.” Irene eyes sparkled. “It was nothing.” Dana waved her hand. “No one would do it.” Irene pouted as she remembered feeling helpless after asking almost everyone she knew. Most of the people that usually fawned over her conveniently came up with “can’t squeeze with current commitments” as they were all aware of Ben’s announcement and knew Ben wouldn’t take revenge. “You are Ben’s sister and as such my sister.” Dana smiled shaking her head as if to say not to think too much. “I will owe you this one. You can ask me anything you want.” Irene promised happily. “No one knows.” Ben walked up to Dana and blurted. “Knows what?” Irene looked curiously at Ben. “Did you mean it when you said ask anything?” Dana looked at Irene with a sly smile. Ben shook his head and walked away. “Yes, I promise.” Irene raised her chin arrogantly “An Adalase never breaks a promise.” “Then sit with me for a counselling session.” “Huh?” “I want to help you and understand your prejud

“Come home when you are free in the afternoon, and we can start the counselling session if you want.” Dana told Irene once everyone dispersed for lunch. “Um” Irene nodded before asking curiously “Do you really not hate me?” Dana smiled and shook her head. “Yeah…” Irene smiled cheekily “I am so adorable; it is impossible to be hated.” “Puchi..” Dana giggled “How did you learn to be so shameless? From your brother?” “Nope… I have started taking lessons from Lara.” Irene smirked raising her eyebrows challengingly. The discussion at the dining table shifted to Christmas celebration that was coming up in 2 weeks. Helena declared that everyone would be exempt from the gathering for the next 2 weeks and had to make it home for Christmas eve and stay back till new year as was the tradition every year. “Sister-in-law, don’t forget my birthday is next month.” Bertie reminded Dana with a cheeky smile. Dana arched her eyebrows at Ben. “He is shamelessly asking you for the cufflink- tie cl

Theo’s grand plan of getting Dana to release their first batch from Lumier workshop was blasted off by Ben even before he pitched it fully. Theo sat back dejectedly. His grand plan was destroyed even before it saw the light of day. Dana had informed Ben in the morning that she wanted to go to the workshop after work this week. Ben agreed with a long face. He could not bear to refuse her and didn’t have an outlet to vent. Theo presented himself at the most inopportune moment by himself. “How are you going with Ruth?” Ben was back to his normal self once he vented. “She’s thinking.” Theo sighed before explaining their last conversation. “Um” Ben didn’t have much to contribute. Ben accompanied Dana at the workshop in the evening. Dana worked on her projects as Ben worked on his laptop. Dana sat thinking what to get everyone for Christmas. She was going to get the men a tie. She remembered the ruckus around the cufflink set she gave Ben and decided to do the same. She had already fi

Ben woke as per his normal body clock but stayed in bed with Dana nestled in his embrace. This sleeping posture had become their norm. Ben noted that Dana’s sleep was not as calm or peaceful once he left the bed, so he decided to stay in bed as they had slept late. His lips curled up as he thought of his life thus far. He had never felt more peaceful or complete. He remembered what his father once said during their conversations about knowing who the right person was. “Ben, there is no right or wrong… no perfect formulae, no one mold that fits all. When you meet the right person, you will know. Your inner world regardless of the storm outside will be peaceful and complete.” He decided that it was time to impart this wisdom to Bertie even though he knew his lawless brother would roll his eyes. Dana stirred another 3 hours later. She opened her eyes to stare into two pools of passion. “Morning” Dana smiled sheepishly as she realized that he was waiting for her. “Very good morning w

Maria signaled to shop assistant to say that it was paid for. “I am sorry. This has already been paid for.” The shop assistant was familiar with the high-end socialite Maria, and she didn’t know Dana. Naturally she chose to bootlick Maria who was their regular customer and also Roger Allister’s girlfriend. “How can that be?” Dana narrowed her eyes. She had bought this over from the back end of the rack. “It is what it is.” The shop assistant spoke in a firm tone “You can choose another one if you want.” Dana was no pushover; she just didn’t want to waste her energy over useless things “I want this one.” She folded her arms and stood back with an overbearing attitude. Lara stopped her shopping and came over and stood by Dana; Sarah followed over as well. Just like that, they were stuck in a stalemate. “Listen lady, don’t make things difficult for us.” The shop assistant pursed her lips “There are another few hundred suits for you to choose from if you really want to buy.” Her lips

“Ben” Dana called softly as she sat up in bed, tying her hair into a knot. “Umm” Ben responded lazily as he caressed her back. She didn’t know how to start the conversation. She had tossed and turned feeling uncomfortable since she woke up and remembered her conversation with Mark yesterday. “Ben” She called again. “Umm” “I will be meeting with Mark, my ex-husband today at midday.” Ben sat up, every cell in his body was alert. He subconsciously felt threatened. He remembered Tael’s call yesterday afternoon saying Dana was looking depressed. He wondered if that bastard had convinced Dana to go back with him. A hundred thoughts raced through his mind making him uncomfortable. Dana turned to look at him as she felt the sudden movement behind her. “Why are you telling me this?” He looked at her alertly. She tilted her head, her eyes narrowed, and lips curled upwards ‘He looked really cute, like a kid whose favorite toy was about to be snatched off’. Not getting a response he pull

“Esther, what about the info I asked for?” Dana looked at Esther. “You were right” Esther handed the green folder to Dana. Dana flipped through smiling complacently and handed the folder to Tael. “I read through the feedback and after listening to each of your thoughts and feedback the next day, I had asked Esther to check up on the authenticity of Paradox wanting to hire a training event planning team and whether there were any other players. Something didn’t feel right.” She explained to the others who were waiting for an explanation. Tael sat back frowning “How did you know?” “Like I said, it was a gut feeling” She then smirked at Tael “There is no theory behind this, and I can’t train anyone on this!” “Ha... Good one but you are not getting an update on that feedback form I just virtually updated!” “So, what does that folder say?” Richard was annoyed. He had spent hours meticulously planning trying to accommodate their ridiculously low budget. “They have signed the contract

“Dring…. Dring… Dring” Ben picked up the phone but instead of Tael… Dana’s voice floated through “We have done our best to ensure all your previous requests have been met” there was a pause before her voice continued to float “I would like to open the floor to any final comments before handing over to our director for signing” Realizing that Tael was letting him eavesdrop, he muted his phone. “This…” a deep voice hesitant voice floated through “we have been doing some thinking as well; our requirements have slightly changed" “Oh..” Dana seemed to have deliberately dragged the syllable “You see, the board of directors have decided to open the training session to all employees and this would change the previously discussed number from 50 to at least 200.” The male voice from before continued. “Ah… yes, this would definitely require adjustments to this plan" a long pause followed, then Dana’s voice floated “However I am still obliged to remind you that requesting a 4th set of revis

“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;
Destined to love Shouldn’t you at least wait for the lady to agree?
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
