Destined to love The joys of being a child!
Steve and Kim were waiting for Dana when she arrived at the Steve’s consulting rooms.“I will leave you two to it then?” Steve smiled as he got up.“Have you eaten?” Dana asked Kim as Steve left the room.Kim was still looking around unconvinced “How can you be hungry after having breakfast at 10:30?” She looked at Dana with a bored expression as though she expected her to reprimand her, however Dana never played according to rules.“Aha…. The joys of being a child!” Dana sighed twisting her lips with a hint of jealously.“You mean you are not going to lecture me?” Kim asked in surprise.“Nope….but I really do want to …” Dana nodded with a serious expression and then added with a deflated tone “However, I am not qualified. But don’t worry, if you are sad about it, I can definitely let Lara have a chat with you any day.”“Ha…. Ha… ha… Is this that friend of yours who came the other day?” Kim asked animatedly “Do you often get lectured?”Dana nodded pitifully and pointed to her ears “I
Destined to love Why shouldn't I hit the bastard?
“Steve, I apologize for my rudeness”. Dana turned around to apologize for the ruckus.No … no… I haven’t seen my little girl this lively…” Steve had tears in his eyes and added with a smile “I learned something as well.”“I wouldn’t dare take that credit.” Dana smiled politely and then turned to Kim “So, Kim have I made myself clear? Do you have any questions? What do you want to do?”“Let’s do it.” Kim looked determined. She wanted to be the person Dana saw her to be, if it was true, if not she would try…g“Would you like your dad to be present? I will have to talk to him later if you choose not to have him in the room since you are still minor. But you can choose.”Kim pursed her lips. “What do you think?”“I think he should. I think your dad genuinely wants to help and be a part of your life. This will give him an opportunity to know and help you.”“But do you think he will be change his prejudice?” Kim pursed her lips resentfully.Dana paused and looked at Steve, this was somethin
Destined to love You heard the boss
“It’s fine… come… let’s have lunch. Mr Adalase, General Addison, please join us.” Steve invited everyone into the kitchen. Dana ignored Ben and Lara and walked in following Steve. Ben and Lara followed guiltily while Shadow followed trying to hold his laughter. Although he didn’t know the specifics, he knew Boss had messed up big time.Steve played the perfect host, ignoring the previous episode. However, Dana didn’t seem to want to let go, she glared shifting her gaze from Lara to Ben “Don’t you two have something to say?”“Eh?” Lara lifted her head guiltily “Steve, I am sorry. I thought…”“Don’t worry. It’s forgotten.” Steve smiled.Dana glared at Ben.“Ahem…” Ben cleared his throat… this was more difficult than anything he had done.Shadow watched with a face full of schadenfreude. He didn’t miss to message Frank and Ed “You have missed an epic moment- Shadow.”“Steve, I am sorry.” Ben wrinkled his forehead.“No… no… you two don’t embarrass me.” Steve waved magnanimously.“Steve, t
Destined to love Have you asked me if I agree?
Dana asked Steve to leave his car behind and rent one for the month. She didn’t want anyone to track them…even though the chances were slim.Ben and Shadow helped Steve and Kim move. Ben shamelessly took a ride with Dana saying his car was crowded.“Wow…. This place is awesome!” Kim’s eyes shone with a bright light as she got down from the car. The front garden was beautifully landscaped. The centerpiece was a fountain which had two dolphins posed in shape of a heart with water sprouting from their rostrums.Kim ran around in enthusiasm as she explored.“Let’s go in. You have plenty of time to explore.” Dana shook her head helplessly.Steve and Shadow bought their luggage in while Kim pulled Dana and Lara to continue her exploration inside the house.Shadow sat down dutifully to follow Dana’s instructions on network accessibility. He connected Steve’s personal laptop and phone to the network and set it so that it required a password to access every single time.Once they were settled
Destined to love If you hadn't come now, I would have become an orphan.
Dana went to set the table while everyone was drinking tea.“What the hell is this?” Lara looked curiously at the items on the table.Steve and Kim also looked curiously at the items.“Let’s create our masterpiece, eh?” Dana rubbed her hands excitedly. She felt a little heartache at a small corner in her heart. She wanted Ben to be here. She shook her head at the little thought that popped up and turned to look at Steve, Lara and Kim.Steve, Lara and Kim looked like deflated balloons; all their curiosity had been washed away. They didn’t know how to paint.“Can you paint?” Lara asked even more curiously.“Kinda” Dana shrugged.“Those paintings we have at our place” Lara asked slowly as if she was enlightened “Did you do them?”“Um. But this is something all of us can do.” Dana added enthusiastically.“Have you seen me draw? Even kindergartens would start laughing if they saw mine.” Lara twisted her lips in disdain.“Mine too” Kim rolled her eyes.“I had to outsource all my lab records
Destined to love Am I that intolerable?
On the way back, Shadow offered to take Lara canvas shopping while Ben took Dana away.Ben got Scar to drive them to David’s kitchen.“I forgot to remind her to buy some plastic sheets.” Dana sighed as she took her phone and messaged Lara in a hurry.Ben sat quietly watching Dana before leaning back to close his eyes.“Ben, would you be able to spare someone to monitor Kim and Steve when they go shopping tomorrow? I want to prevent Kim from contacting anyone.” Dana asked as she thought about her schedule for tomorrow.“Scar, get Scholar to organize this and let me know once it’s done.” Ben didn’t need to think to indulge her requests.Dana sat back and closed her eyes; as she rested, she thought about a problem. Whenever she needed something, she would flagrantly ask Ben; She felt like she was using Ben. This was not fair to him. She needed to stop this unreserved, unbalanced liaison.“Ben, I need to talk to you.” Dana looked seriously at Ben as Scar parked in the parking area.“Um” B
Destined to love Reaping what you sowed!
Dana smiled and toasted.“Want to see them spewing fire?” Lara laughed mischievously; Dana nodded.“Ask you fiancé to cooperate with me.” Lara spoke with an insidious grin.Dana didn’t take much note of Lara’s tease, she turned to Ben who had his lips curled up in a smile. Although he was conversing with Ed and Frank, his ears were tuned into Dana’s side. He had heard Lara, but what made him happy was Dana did not refute.“Ben” Dana leaned close to Ben.“Um” Ben turned his head, leaning down towards her.“Lara wants to make mischief. Can you ….” Dana pursed her lips upwards; she couldn’t actually say the rest. ‘How awkward?’“Do you want me to?” Ben whispered. He was sure the candidates could not see his intimate action from the angle they were at.“Um”“Okay.”Dana looked at Lara and nodded giving her the ‘all okay.’Lara smiled seductively as she stood up and walked over to Ben “Mr Adalase, let me toast our friendship.”Dana had her head down, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.E
Destined to love It takes one to know one.
Sarah took Dana and Lara to their private room on the second floor.“What is going on?”“I am a dead duck…. Ben is going to kill me.” Lara muttered as she sank into the sofa.“Why should Ben kill you?” Dana asked in confusion.Sarah and Lara looked at Dana like they were looking at an idiot…. Then they looked at each other and burst out laughing…“What?” Dana pouted.“Nothing… my dear friend.” Lara hugged her affectionately.“YUCK…. Stay away from me … you’re smelly and sticky” Dana pushed Lara with a disdainful expression.“What? You despise me???” Lara put her hands on her hips with a threatening expression before chasing after Dana. Dana ran around hiding behind Sarah pulling her into the ruckus before dodging and running around with Lara tagging behind.Scar informed Ben that Dolce had left just as Sarah walked out; Ben, Frank and Ed left the room under the pretense of Shadow organizing the room for audition. Frank led them to their private room on the second floor.Dana ran aroun

Destined to love That is a promise.
“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
Destined to love I will stake my entire reputation on this man, who flew out in the middle of the night for the sake of friendship.
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
