A few hours earlier- The bride and groom were gracefully performing the first dance in their classic manner. Ben nodded towards his mates; this was the cue for everyone to join. “Wife, are you tired?” Ben asked as he stared dotingly at his beautiful bride. “Um” “How about we run away?” “Can we?” Ben didn’t answer, his lips hooked up to a devilish grin as he twirled with her towards the side door and then out. He carried her to the far end of the reception hall away from the car park and gave a loud shrill whistle followed by a low short whistle. Dana hooked her arms around Ben’s neck and peacefully cradled herself in his arms. Thunder galloped and stopped in front of them. Ben helped Dana on first and then got on. He looked back at the Rose petals that fell of the train of Dana’s dress and smiled. “Good boy, Thunder!” Ben massaged thunder’s neck before letting out a burst of two short whistles. Thunder acknowledged and started off in a canter. “Hold on tight” Ben warned before
Everyone other than Stewart, Adele, Osmond and Anna left over the next two days. All of Anna’s previous reservations melted as she saw Ben’s hard work during the last week. Dana’s reaction during the wedding was proof that Dana didn’t know anything about this, and all of this was planned by Ben. She had to give him full marks, he had not only diligently invited everyone that mattered to Dana but also made all arrangements to make sure they were all entertained and happy. She couldn’t believe that this was the ruthless man she read about, nor could she believe that the Adalases were such a nice bunch to get along with. “Satisfied?” Osmond hooked his eyebrows as he watched his wife. “Um” Anna nodded with a blissful smile “He is not as ruthless as they say”. “Oh that he is my dear!” Osmond chuckled but continued as he saw her confused gaze “This side of him is only for his family.” “Oh” Anna nodded as she sighed giving him a knowing grin “It takes one to know one.” “No my dear.” Os
Maria Foster was also released a month later with a warning to not approach the victim. She knew her original sentence was reduced due to Dana being soft hearted and decided in her heart to return the favor if she ever got the chance. After resting for a month, Therese decided to catch up with her previous workmates Maylin and Zara. Therese didn’t know what it was, but she could feel their resistance to meet up with her. If it was before she would have definitely ignored them but now, she couldn’t; she needed their help to get back into her previous position at A&E. They reluctantly agreed to meet up with Therese. They knew about Therese’s family situation and also knew that she was without a job. Both of them feared that she wanted to borrow money from them. “Oh my god! How long has it been?” Therese hugged them excitedly as they reached the table she had been waiting for since the past hour. “Way too long!” Maylin sighed as she sat down. “What happened to your posting in B countr
The next day Dana’s phone went off again as they were having breakfast. The caller id lit up with ‘Therese’. Ben extended his hand to answer the phone as he saw her knitted brows. “Don’t” Dana shook her head. Ben arched his eyebrows in an enquiring manner. “I wonder what schemes she has now.” Dana knitted her brows “She must be aware by now that Jeremy is no longer associated with me and that I am married.” Dana was not a fool to think that Therese’s call was innocent. Ben listened with a doting smile. “Ben, would it be too willful? I want to tear open her farce.” Dana pursed her lips to one side while she narrowed her eyes mischievously. “You are my, Ben Adalase’s wife. You have the clout to be willful.” Ben tapped the tip of her nose affectionately. “Umm.” Dana nodded maintaining her mischievous smile “I will settle accounts old and new”. She dialed Lara from Ben’s phone. “Ben??” Ed answered the call as Lara was still sleeping exhausted from his torture. “Ed, its me.” Dana g
Dana walked into the box with Ben followed by Ed and Lara. “Her nerve to say I was lying.” Lara fumed. “She still doesn’t want to repent. She must have some other agenda.” Dana shook her head regretfully. “She does… Duh...” Lara made a gesture of shooting Dana on the forehead “Your husband.” “You don’t have to be rocket scientist to know that.” Lara rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you notice how she was dribbling honey once he made his entry?” “Why did you come?” Dana slapped Ben’s hands that was hugging her in annoyance and muttered “as if I don’t have enough death warrants already.” “Wife” Ben felt really wronged. Ed and Frank rubbed their noses as they tried to make their existence nonexistent. They knew the tandem effect of this … they would be shot sitting down. “Wife, I was worried.” “Hymph!” Dana pouted even though she knew she was being unfair. “I am sorry.” Ben shamelessly stuck close to Dana and rubbed his head in her neck ignoring the light bulbs. “Duk’ ‘Duk’ ‘Duk’ “Com
The next two weeks seemed to pass relatively quickly with everyone getting stuck into work. Ed, Ben and Frank got new leads into Tyson case or rather paths to block his advances. Frank and Ben threw the family business to Chris and Big Bro before running wild with Ed. Dana wanted to catch the person using her signature without worrying Ben and was hot on their trial. Lara and Sarah supported her morally and physically when they were around. Ben seemed to be pre-occupied on Wednesday night. He didn’t stick to her as usual. Dana walked to the study with a frown. “Is everything alright?” She asked in concern as soon as she entered. “Um.” Ben nodded with his head down “Go rest, I will come as soon as I finish this.” “I will sit with you.” Dana didn’t think too much and sat on the sofa pulling a magazine to read. Ben frowned and tapped on his watch. He pretended to be unaffected. Dana didn’t know why but she was certainly feeling more tired. After sitting quietly for a few minutes, s
10 mins later, Frank and Ed sneaked into Ben’s room with Sarah and Lara in tow. Ben gestured to them to be quiet with a finger to his lips as he activated the vacuum around the bed. He gestured them to huddle on the bed, “What’s going on?” Ed asked once they were seated on the bed and the vacuum activated. “I think we have company.” “Duh! You do…” Lara rolled her eyes “Us”. Dana giggled; she couldn’t help it. Lara wasn’t wrong. Giggling is infectious. It caught on with the ladies. “Hur…hur…hur…” Ed and Frank couldn’t help joining in as they saw Ben massaging his forehead. “No more wandering on the ship without us.” Ben spoke in a flat tone as he sat back defeatedly. “No way.” Sarah frowned “I haven’t had this much fun in ages. Tomorrow we were going to go to have an exclusive, ladies only splurge.” Frank had a guilty look. In all fairness, in the last 15 years all of Sarah’s fun activities revolved around them. She didn’t have any friends who were women; She missed out on a lo
Alexa frowned as she realized Dana was unprotected and a few rooms away. She quickly withdrew into the shadows. Dana sat rocking her legs back and forth in annoyance. “You seemed to be agitated.” Dana jolted inwardly but still maintained an arrogant appearance as she turned her head muttering “How much longer do I have to wait? I have other activities booked.” “You … you…” Dana was shocked to see Desmond; she trembled inwardly as she saw him walking closer and closer to her. “What?? Scared???” Desmond raised his eyebrows in a charming manner. “Scared of the masseur?” Dana laughed maintaining a fearless expression. “I am not the masseur. I own this place.” Desmond’s tone had a hint of arrogance. “Yes, and I am the queen of the seven seas.” Dana rolled her eyes. “Where is the lad who is meant to be your masseur?” Desmond’s eyes carried a threatening aura. Dana rolled her eyes and asked in a bored tone “How should I know? He asked me about my husband and literally ran away.” De
