“Oh…” Dana covered her neck and stood up to run for cover. Ben pulled her back into arms “Baby, you really think that such a silly lie would suffice?” He narrowed his eyes as he stared into her eyes. Dana blushed and pushed him out of embarrassment “You broke your promise.” She pouted childishly. “I didn’t… Hur… hur…. hur…” Ben laughed “Let’s talk later.” “Hymph!” Dana turned her head but winced with pain. “Baby…” Ben frowned “Shall we go to the hospital?” “No” “But this seems to be bleeding.” Lara got up and checked to see what the status was … “That’s it. Let’s go.” She pulled Dana with a frown. “No.” Dana childishly held on to Ben. “Mr Adalase, you better get your sorry ass up or I will kick you out.” Lara spoke furiously. Her voice wavered as she was scared. Ben pursed his lips; He didn’t want to contradict Dana; he was also taken back by Lara’s words. No one had ever spoken to him in that tone. He looked down at Dana’s neck and realized the reason behind Lara’s reckles
“Do you want to talk about it?” Dana raised her head to look at Ben and added “Later” as she saw his taut expression. “I don’t have any secrets from these guys… it’s just that I don’t know much.” “Tell me what you know.” “Nothing much. Just that she seems to have a problem with people from different ethnicity.” Ben’s frown deepened. “That’s a relief.” Dana sighed. “Huh?” Lara and Sarah looked at Dana with confusion. “At least it’s just not me.” Dana smiled mischievously. “Actually, other than this one flaw, she is a very sweet person.” Frank added “It is sometimes hard to believe it’s the same person.” “What do you mean?” Dana sat forward in interest. Ben scowled as he pulled her back into his embrace “I will tell you.” “Hur… hur…hur…” Ed and Frank laughed. Dana glared at Ben before turning back to Frank “I am really curious.” But she stayed nestled in Ben embrace. It was a picturesque scene; the three most powerful men in the country sat like ordinary men with their woman
Samantha walked out of the store and her face contorted into an ugly expression. She hated having to lower her head to that bitch. But there was nothing she could do. They were warned not to attract to much attention with the big event nearing after the incident at the luncheon. Luckily it didn’t create any news. This was of course credit to Irene’s involvement. Samantha walked towards the café where she had organized to meet with Amber lost in thought. She couldn’t understand why anyone would choose Dana over her. Amber waved towards Samantha as walked in. “Auntie Stacey” Samantha smiled stiffly as she walked towards Amber. Ever since Gail told her about Amber’s true intentions she felt revolted every time she was called ‘Auntie’. She wondered if this was Amber’s way of telling her that she was too old to compete with her for a man. “What’s wrong?” Amber asked in concern. “I just met an eyesore.” Samantha pursed her lips as she sat down. She called Amber to clarify whether Gail m
“Baby, I might have to travel overseas again tomorrow.” Ben announced. He was thinking of accompanying Jefferson back. “If it’s to B country, then no. Unless” Dana paused; Lara looked nervously at Ed, but he seemed to be concentrating wholeheartedly on the steak. “Unless??” Ben knew he wouldn’t like this option either. “I can come along.” Dana pursed her lips “and follow you like a second skin.” “Me too… me too...” Lara’s eyes twinkled as she looked at Ed. “I am not going.” Ben sat back. ‘This was her intention.’ Dana giggled however her face changed serious as she turned to Ed “When are you planning to retire?” “Never” Ed spoke without thinking but soon realized his folly. “That’s fine. We can go together on all your missions. I have done spy movies in the past, so I am up to speed on my homework.” Lara smirked. Ed’s face was black as a pot, he turned to scowl at Dana. “I am scared.” Dana blinked pitifully at Ben before hiding behind him. She poked her tongue mischievously a
Dana, Lara and Sarah dressed sexily as per their plan and went to Rocter, a slightly shady gambling den. Once Ben briefed Frank on their plan, he and Sarah wanted to play along as well. Ben, Ed and Frank disguised themselves as vagabonds and occupied a table next to the one that Prof. Neville Thosa, usually occupied.. Neville arrived at Den at 6pm like clockwork. He went to his regular chair and sat in fowl mood. ‘That bitch. She dared to mock him?’ He was furious. His mood slowly brightened as he saw 3 beautiful goddesses throwing him flirtatious looks. He waved to beckon them. Lara smiled seductively as she walked closer to Neville with Dana and Sarah. Ed watched with a frown. He regretted agreeing to this plan. He wanted to strangle someone as he saw his woman smile seductively at another man. “Hey there.” Lara greeted as she sat across from Neville throwing him a flirtatious smile. Neville nodded to acknowledge. Dana sized the man in front of her. It was hard to believe he was
Shadow drove Frank at the fastest speed possible back to the Weldon estate. Frank rushed to his study while Shadow followed close behind. Chris and Rose were watching a movie in the lounge; They looked blankly at each other for a minute after they watched their dad rush like a madman but shrugged and decided to ignore and went back to watching the movie. Frank messaged Ed on his watch; he didn’t have to wait long before Ed came online. “What the hell is going on?” Ed asked in an agitated voice. He was getting anxious as the heart rate alert for Ben on his watch began to pulse. Frank’s message to call couldn’t come a minute sooner! “I need you to sign this using your voice activator privilege.” Frank urged as he displayed the document on the screen. He simultaneously opened the government portal and started completing the required formalities. There was an open license they had requested three months ago. Luckily this was still valid. Frank signed and sealed the original document a
Ben opened his eyes with the first rays of morning light. He lowered his head to look with eyes filled with love at the woman lying in his embrace. She was now his wife. A dream that he had dared to pursue with his all but never hoped to have fruition ... it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t apprehensive about what would happen when she woke up...because she wasn’t yet aware that she was his wife. He had tricked her into marrying him. Looking her sleeping soundly, he kissed her forehead lightly before getting up. He knew she wouldn’t get up any time soon, he was a beast last night... only letting her go once she fainted from exhaustion... his face curled up into a smile as thought of it... Ben turned off the alarm as he left the room closing the door behind him. He went downstairs and opened the front door. There was a suitcase packed with his necessities and the marriage certificate, thanks to Shadow. He must have left it here last night. He left the marriage certificate on the tab
“You have swelling and bleeding in your private area. It is most likely due to the abrasion caused by the intense combat last night” Amy sneered. Dana wanted to find a hole to hide and never come out. Even though Ben’s expression was ugly, he asked “How do we treat this?” “I will give you an ointment to apply. It needs to be applied three times a day for at least two days. However, if she needs to use the toilet between these application times, then re-apply after cleaning thoroughly” She paused and looked at Ben seriously “It’s best to restrain your sexual activities until it heals completely. But if you have to, don’t use any tools like yesterday” ‘Tools?? When did he get time to bring them? When did he use it?’ Dana was staring wide eyed…However, Amy did not notice as she was looking at Ben. She took out an ointment in a red tube and opened in “Here, I will show you how to apply…” “No need.” Ben snatched the tube and interrupted Amy “you can show me on your hand, and I will appl
