The next day Dana thought of a problem as they were going through the preparations of Ed’s wedding. “Ben, who is Shadow’s plus one?” “Ask him.” Ben shrugged. “Shadow” Shadow rolled his eyes as he reluctantly stepped out of the dark. “Do you have anyone coming as your plus one?” “No madam.” “How about…” Dana wanted to play matchmaking, but Shadow interrupted “Madam, I am fine.” Dana nodded as if she agreed not to hassle him anymore. “Sarah, is Ruth free?” Dana ignored Shadow and asked Sarah. “She’s free.” Sarah nodded after checking with Frank. “Alright…” Dana clapped her hands excitedly “That’s settled then.” Dana smiled brightly. “What’s settled?” Shadow asked innocently. “Good.” Dana nodded “Steve needs a plus one.” Sarah lifted her eyebrows quizzically. Dana winked gesturing that they would talk later but her gaze never left Shadow’s face. His ears peaked as he heard Ruth’s name but frowned in displeasure as he heard that Dana was asking for Steve. Dana pursed her lip
Dana and Sarah arrived early at Lara’s place that was already bustling with activity. Lara had rented a place close to Ed’s ancestral chapel for the few days up to the wedding. “And here I thought I was early…” Dana sighed as she sat down feigning a miserable expression. Lara giggled as she hugged Dana and Sarah. Mrs Burton was rushing around flustered hurrying everyone; she rushed into Lara’s room to hurry her up when she saw Dana and Sarah. “Dana, my dear girl!” She hugged Dana affectionately and turned to attack Sarah “Sarah” Lara disappeared like a wisp of smoke while Abigail was busy with Dana and Sarah. She was waiting for someone else to be targeted by her mom so that she could escape. Abigail got the dresses for both of them. “Here, you two are going to look like angels” Abigail clapped her hands happily. “When did angels wear lilac?” Dana pouted while Sarah giggled. Soon Tarz’s team and Irene’s staff came to get Lara ready; Dana and Sarah went to the next room to get r
Everyone gathered in groups to socialize while the demon kings ran amok. The older ones, Chris, Rose, Jaz and Kim stood chatting in a circle close to their parents. Weldons and Adalases other than Frank and Ben pairs gathered in a circle. The Ethans were busy with the guests. Steve, Theo and Denis joined the circle of Ed’s military friends. “Hello handsome doctor.” Emery smiled as she lifted her flute in greeting. Steve smiled politely as he lifted his flute in response. “Oh no…no…no…” Bertie cried as he tried to hide behind Bryan. Everyone followed his gaze and saw Lizzie and Lisa walking towards the group, arm in arm smiling sweetly. “Didn’t you say she won’t come?” Jeff raised his eyebrows in a teasing manner. “I said she wasn’t invited.” Bertie retorted resentfully. “Hur… hur… hur…” Bryan, Fred and Jeff didn’t give him any face. Helena frowned as she saw the combo walking towards her, but she regained her calm, indifferent composure. She didn’t know what her sons were up t
Steve and Ian didn’t need to check to know what was wrong with Dana. They ordered Ben to take her away, but she refused saying she could hold on. “Congratulations” Both turned to Ed once they finished the examinations. Soon it was a double celebration, but Abigail told them not to publicize before three months, so the celebration had to be cut short with a discrete ‘to be continued at the Adalase Manor’ message to close family and friends; Both women were forcefully taken to the manor for compulsory rest before the celebration at night to which the Adalase’s, Weldon’s, Evans’s, Burton’s, Carson’s, the special task force, Theo, Steve and Kim were invited. Ruth also got invited as Shadow’s plus one. Frank, Sarah, Steve and the Burton’s stayed behind to apologize and send the guests home before dispersing. Dana fell asleep even before they got home. Ed didn’t go to his place. It was more of a bachelor pad. Don’t even think that he would go back to the Evans manor…. The why… would follo
The next morning, Lisa went to the Goodwin genetic testing center as per her appointment. She waited at one of the coffee tables as agreed. Dr Halliwell and Dr Stays came with the report. “Ms. Henke, I am afraid we don’t have good news.” Dr Stays started the conversation. “What do you mean?” Lisa clutched her heart. “The child has no relation with the sample provided.” Dr Stays moved the certification report towards Lisa. Lisa frowned as she looked at the report with misty eyes. ‘After all these years of waiting and plotting, she was still a loser. No, she hasn’t lost yet!’ She raised her head, her eyes narrowed with determination “I don’t care what your report says. You will re-write it to what I want it to say.” “I am afraid we can’t do that.” Dr Halliwell broke the stalemate. “You don’t want your families anymore?” Lisa sat back with her hands crossed and raised her eyebrows arrogantly. “What’s our family got to do with this?” Dr Stays shook his head before explaining “We on
“Nothing of significance.” Bertie smirked and then slapped the back of his head “Oh… there was something about Uncle Sheridan hiding his illegitimate sons.” “Is that why Auntie is upset?” He turned his innocent gaze at Mrs Sheridan and looked at her with sympathy. Don’t look at how carefree and innocent Bertie looked on the surface. In terms of ruthlessness and venomous tongue, he was no less than his big brothers. “What illegitimate?” Mrs Sheridan fumed. Technically her children were all illegitimate and this was a sore point. “Did I say the wrong thing?” Bertie feigned innocence and scratched the back of his head. “Let’s not beat around the bush.” Lester spoke once he calmed his emotions “You and I know what I am talking about.” “How come I don’t follow?” Bryan hooked his eyebrows as he narrowed his eyebrows. His expression didn’t seem to give away anything. Ben and the rest all had poker faces. “I am not sure how I offended you lot except for the misappropriation of funds. But
Skylight clubhouse, the most popular hangout place in the city... the "go to" place for the extremely rich elite and also the middle class. This is also the uniqueness of skylight. The middle open space tables could be booked for a table at 2000 dollars, whereas the private rooms could cost anywhere between 10000- 1 million, depending on how long they were reserved for.Dana, wearing a wine-red top and jeans-colored capri, walked in looking left and right, fidgeting with the handle of her handbag. She hated places like this, the smell of alcohol in the air made her uncomfortable. Normally she would decline catch up invitations from her colleagues to places like this, but Therese was one of her close friends and this was her farewell party. This was the reason she braved her inner demons to be here to celebrate one last time. Spotting Maylin and Angus at the middle table, Dana squeezed past the enthusiastic patrons."OMG! Look who's here" Lara screamed as she rushed over with open arms
After Jeremy left, Frank and Sarah walked into the box. Dana felt it was inappropriate for her to stay; she muttered "Bastard" as she walked out fuming at his insolence.“Give me a call when you have decided on a place for dinner” Ben added, as she reached the door, crossing the stunned Sarah.Ben looked at the departing figure with an amused smile. He picked up his phone "Shadow, I want all the details of the person who just left the box.""Male or female Boss?""What do you think?" Ben retorted with a laugh in his voice."Right away."Ben looked at Frank's and Sarah's imploring gazes without any intention of quelling their curiosity as he disconnected the call."Why do I feel she was annoyed with you although you helped her?" Frank asked tactfully when he could no longer hold it in...Ben didn't take the bait... he flashed one of his 'none of your business' smile, swirling the red wine in his cup. He didn't want to take a sip...he didn't want to lose the sweet taste of the kiss. Thi
