Ben and team raced to the Savian. It took them only 10 mins with Ed’s flashing lights literally stopping traffic and Ben’s car that was modified to match a racecars aerodynamics for speed and performance. “Chief, we have no visual, but heat sensors have lit up with six standing, three sitting and one lying down just below us. Sending coordinates.” Archer’s voice came over the Ed’s walkie talkie as they entered the Savian. Ed turned off the flashing lights and ordered “Eyes on target. Alert me if you have any moment.” They moved noiselessly until they were 3 feet away from the coordinates and close to a clearing. They ditched the car under the cover of bushes and stealthily made their way towards the clearing from four different angles. They signaled a plan for their operations once they had a clear view of the cottage in the clearing. Shadow circled the area jumping from one branch to the other before reaching back in his original spot. He signaled to the rest that the cottage had
“How did I offend them?” Dana pouted. “You didn’t offend them but the one who paid them.” Ben chuckled in amusement as he gently knocked on her forehead. He was amused as Dana was usually keyed on. These sort of questions were Lara’s and Sarah’s portfolio. Ben only thought about it inwardly. He was not foolish to take the odds of 4 against 1. “Wipe that thought.” Frank pursed his lips that were curled up to the right. “My wife isn’t that stupid.” “Neither is mine!” Ed smirked. How could they not know what Ben was thinking? ‘Coz this was the exact same thought that passed their minds when they heard Dana. Ben shrugged, his face twisted between smile and indifference. “What’s wrong?” Steve asked as he walked in. “She can’t remember what happened before getting knocked out.” Ben’s voice was edged in concern. “More like she’s been knocked silly.” Lara giggled while Dana pouted. “Why don’t you tell me why you suspect memory loss?” Steve sat down with his notepad. Lara and Dana repe
Shadow arranged a meeting with Mr Allister as per Ben’s instructions to meet at Skylight in the afternoon. Roger wondered why Ben wanted to see him urgently; His lips curled up as he thought he might be able to see Dana again. Dana was more than happy to sit this one out as she didn’t want to be anywhere near the creep. Ben promised he would let her listen in on the conversation; he didn’t want her anywhere near a man who would covet his wife. Dana waited with Lara and Sarah in Ben’s usual box while Ben went to meet with Roger along with Frank and Ed to a different one. “Mr Adalase.” Roger greeted amiably but his eyes wandered behind Ben only to be disappointed. He realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw Ed and Frank following Ben. “I take it this is more than our petty indifference.” Roger pursed his lips. He was not going to fight with Ben, he knew he wouldn’t win in any case. Especially after Dana slapped him for Ben. But he was still a bit unwilling in his heart.
“Are you talking about Therese?” Dana asked hesitantly as she remembered her conversation with Lara on the night of Therese’s farewell. “Yes. That one. I accidently bumped into her some time ago, maybe 18 months I don’t remember. She asked me if I wanted to know how Jeremy found me so quickly. Naturally I was interested.” Maria waved her hand as if to say, ‘rest is history’. “Shouldn’t you get your facts straight first before embarking on a journey of revenge?” Dana ridiculed, no longer interested in knowing the rest. “I didn’t take her seriously until I saw Jeremy put his heart and soul into pursuing you. He never spent that much energy on me. It was then that I confirmed she was telling the truth. “At that time, I only despised your underhanded methods.” Maria sighed as she leaned against the wall. “It was only when Roger started showing increased interest in catching up to you that I felt threatened. I can’t believe I actually liked the bastard enough to want to kill to keep hi
The next few days went by without any major events. Mark was deported back U country with the case transferred to U country but was set free as Dana agreed to a pardon on the condition that he never contacted her again. Mark readily agreed as his life was more precious than anything else. Therese received an unexpected early Christmas gift in E country in the form of a termination letter. Having lost her job, Therese didn’t have a reason or required papers to stay in E country and booked the next available flight out to return home. A&E closed for the season’s break at EOB Monday. The next day- “Wife, why don’t you come to Adalase enterprise at 10am today?” Ben suggested during breakfast. “Okay.” Dana didn’t think much before agreeing. They had decided to announce tonight anyway. Dana reached the Adalase enterprises at 10 am as agreed with Ben in the morning. She walked up to the reception and was at loss as to how to introduce herself. She didn’t have a formal appointment with B
“Can you…” Shelley couldn’t keep a straight face and put her request forward. She lowered her head. She was a total bitch before. Dana waited for Shelley to finish but she didn’t utter a word and kept her head down. “Ding” the CEO’s private lift inside the room opened and a charming, stylish man walked out with a ruffian smile. “Shelley dear, how did you offend my treasure trove?” “Puchi…” Dana laughed. “Beauty" he bowed towards Dana with a theatrical flair. “Where is it?” Ben asked with a dark face. Ken clapped his hands and another charming assistant walked out pushing a rack with a confident smile. She curled her lips challengingly at Shelley. She turned to bow towards Ben and stood dumbstruck ‘Such a handsome man!’. She smiled shyly and bowed “CEO, our latest collection.” Ben looked at Dana. Ken raised his eyebrows in amusement. He liked to press Ben’s buttons and annoy him. “Beauty” he walked around Dana scanning her with the intention of flattering. “Does your friend
“How do I look?” Dana posed playfully in a sexy pose. Ben’s Adam’s apple rolled as he beckoned for her to come close. Dana walked up to him with a playful gait…. like an innocent lamb to the slaughter table. “Do you like to?” Dana asked swirling around. He pulled her into his embrace and buried his face in her bosom. “No…. Not good. Let’s take it off.” Ben’s voice was raspy as he tugged at the zipper in the back. “Ben...” Dana gasped as he ran his fingers circling her sensitive part “Not here.” “Yes.” Ben growled in a deep whisper as he pressed two buttons on his desk. One to lock the door, the second one erected a grey wall enclosing the room in a grey box. Shadow rolled his eyes as he saw the grey walls that reached the ceiling rolling up. ‘His boss was up to no good.’ “Now it’s just us.” Ben pulled the gown off her shoulders as he finally managed to unzip. His lips greedily savored her silky shoulder before taking one of her soft and delicious mounds in his mouth. His hand wa
‘Duk’ ‘duk’ “Come in” Ben invited while Dana quickly straightened her posture. Lisa came in with the two coffees followed by Freida, Piper and Oona. Ben pointed at his work desk for Lisa to leave the coffee as she came forward to serve “Shadow and I will drink later.” Lisa pursed her lips, a light flashed past that was not missed by Ben and Shadow. She left the coffee mugs on the table and stood close. “Thank you for all your hard work throughout the year. The next 10 days are your well-earned break.” Ben turned to look at the four of them. “As a token of our appreciation, I want to you have this. Indulge yourselves and come back rejuvenated for a fresh start and new challenges.” Ben nodded towards Dana with a doting smile as he finished. Lisa moved abruptly, accidently knocking the coffee mugs. The coffee spilled on to the carpet. “Sorry...” She hurriedly bent down to wipe the stain when Ben stopped her “Don’t worry. It’s only coffee. The cleaners will take care of it later.”
“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.
