Ben knew Dana spent her weekends at Peach Blossom apartment. So, he let Shadow drive as Dana sat in a daze, nestled in his embrace. Ben didn’t want her to wake up from the daze, so he kept quiet until they reached the apartment.

“We are here.” Ben spoke in a gentle low tone. Dana stared at him in confusion. ‘What was she doing?’

Ben let out a low chuckle “Don’t want to let go?”

Dana blinked, she realized how ambiguous their posture was and pushed him away. But Ben still held on to her. She looked at him with a pleading gaze “Please let go. I am sorry…I overstepped the boundary…” She wasn’t sure why she sat comfortably in his embrace. She knew she shouldn’t …

“I enjoyed it” Ben chuckled but then added in a serious tone “Stay away from Maine. He doesn’t want to be just friends.”

Dana was about to retort that it was none of his business when she heard the last part and changed her words “I know. I am not a three year who believes in coincidences.”

“What?” Ben caught the hint of the latte

    3 days later, special task force members gathered at the manor on mount road; Nathan, Hillary and Shaun were recovered from their injuries and were currently resting at the manor.“What happened?” Tyrell asked as he sat down.“That day, Nadia asked Nathan and if he could help her with something.” Shaun spoke first.“She said that she has got into a bit of trouble and that it was too embarrassing to tell the others.” Nathan scratched his head in embarrassment. “I was in the cafeteria at that time, and we were the only ones there. I agreed and went back to tell these two and they wanted to tail me.” Nathan took over.“But Nadia wasn’t in the group.” Shadow interrupted with a frown as he thought of the possibility of a loose cannon.“She didn’t turn up.” Hilary smirked.“She told me that there would soon be a lot of people in the cafeteria and if I could meet her off base.” Nathan’s face had an unnatural color.“Didn’t we discuss this person the day before?” Daniel frowned.“Yes.

Actually, he is innocent.” Olivia smiled bashfully as she mentioned Oliver.“Arora, I haven’t seen you with Mr Adalase recently. What’s happening?” Lyla asked hesitantly. This was her main aim behind getting the girls together. She had to complete the mission her cousin gave her.“Why? Don’t tell me you want to steal him.” Arora narrowed her eyes, and she twisted her lips in disdain.“No… no… I have no such ambition.” Lyla shook her head.Arora raised her chin haughtily and sneered “Then, its none of your business.”Lyla looked at Arora with a conflicted expression.

    Tuesday night-Ed, Frank, Shadow and Ben were celebrating the last day of ‘Dana Ban’ at Skylight. No one bought Dana into the conversation. Even so, only Ben knew how he passed these 2 weeks. He was grateful to Lara. It helped him confirm that in this lifetime, he could not let go off Dana. The helplessness of these days was bone deep. He felt that a part of his soul was missing.“Cheers!” They toasted.“What’s the verdict from this experiment?” Ed asked even though he knew the answer. He had never seen such a listless and short fused Ben. His normal temperament was cold but charming at the same time. Ben was ruthless when he dealt with his enemies, but he rarely had a temper. They say, it’s scarier to see him smile, ‘coz beneath that smile lies the chill of death itself.“She’s mine” Ben’s eyes were filled with conviction.They clinked their cups again.“So,

Now she wanted to go!Ben dialed a number and waited patiently.“This is Benjamin Adalase.”“Yes.

Then I will remember this favor.” Ben hung up.Frank looked at his phone in confusion before hanging up and looking at Ed who was drinking tea in his office “I think Ben’s lost the plot.”“What is he scheming this time?” Ed raised his eyebrows as he pursed his lips into a smile.“Hell! I have been married for too long. I am too old for the two of you.” Frank spat out with a face full of grievance.Ben looked back at the three expectant faces before looking at Piper “You can go

    “That’s it. You lot move back. Form a line. Otherwise, we will get our aunt to close this stall.” One of the ten-year old’s clapped his hand and shouted loudly.Dana looked at the lad with appreciation.

Dana darted her eyes nervously. It was overwhelming to be surrounded by his smell. What was even more frightening for her was she actually missed this for the last 2 weeks.“What do you want? Can you talk properly? I … I thought you wanted to talk about the case.” Dana looked like a frightened bird.“Yes…. Our case.” Ben smiled dotingly as he hugged her waist and held her close to him “Did you miss me?”“Umm….” Dana nodded absentmindedly overwhelmed by the heat radiating from his lower body onto hers but quickly shook her head “No…. No...why would I miss you?” She lowered her eyes; she was

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.

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.

    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

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.
