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
The ladies decided to host the dinner on the balcony. It was a safer bet to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. “How did you know he’s Anthony?” Daniel asked as they sat for dinner. “That’s my superpower.” Dana giggled. Tyrell made an ‘o’ shape with his lips while the others joined in the humor. “Every one of his men I have met so far had some sort of a tattoo on their left arm except this one. I made a gamble.” Dana shrugged. The men nodded ‘Pretty good guess work.’ Daniel and team left taking the catch from the afternoon after dinner. The rest of the cruise was uneventful and enjoyable. Days went back on track for the ladies while Ben and the men got busy following leads and launching attacks either covert or open on every source of Anthony Tyson’s financial backers. Irene’s boutique opened shortly after becoming the talk of the town. No one expected the pampered young heiress to be so talented and driven. She was an Adalase after all! The only person who wasn’t having a
Dana tried every trick in the book to make Helena spill without any success. She couldn’t wait for Helena to leave and call Sarah and Lara. The ladies huddled in the huddle room racking their brains but couldn’t come up with anything and could only wait for Ben and the rest to get home. That was however a dead end as well and they could only leave it aside for now. The next day was exciting for Dana as the trap she set-up for the person using her signature finally caught the prey. Ben and Ed were in a heated discussion with the members of the task force regarding their next move. “Dring …dring….” Ben phone interrupted the meeting. Tyrell looked at Ben in annoyance. Ben ignored him and picked up the call with a charming smile “Um” “Ben” Dana called Ben excitedly. “I have something you want.” Dana shrieked excitedly over the phone. “Wife you have everything I want.” Ben flirted ignoring the annoyed glances of his teammates. “Ben seriously.” Dana was practically jumping up and dow
