“I know this because he kept badgering me on several occasions to recollect my movements on that day and the incident like a bee in a bonnet.” Bryan chuckled to lighten the mood. He didn’t want the others to think that Ben confided in him and didn’t trust them. “Bro, what do you want to do?” Bertie spoke breaking the gloomy silence. “I…” Ben clenched his fists, his eyes red with fury but he didn’t continue what he wanted to say. Dana placed her hands on his clenched fists and nodded reassuringly when he turned to look at her. She knew her reservations were his restraint. No one noticed this small exchange between husband and wife. “I want him to know what pain is.” Ben gritted his teeth “I will pay him back every single grievance with interest.” “Your wife agrees??” Bryan chuckled; He knew Dana would be uncomfortable, he was even surprised that the trio had their woman in the discussion. “Why would I let my husband suffer in silence?” Dana’s voice was neither servile nor overbear

Ben went up to his study to access his cryptic email account. This was the only location that this account could be accessed. Dana sat on his lap as he viewed all the information he wanted. Bryan car accident was planned by Lester and executed by Anthony’s network. The plan was to kill; Bryan’s fortune, he escaped. Pigle impersonated Aldis Stockwell, the trusted accountant for Adalase enterprise after killing him. He disappeared with the money he swindled before they put the second act into play, Adam’s accident. This time, they didn’t leave any stone unturned. Each of these incidents were videotaped. Perhaps a precautionary measure done by Anthony and Pigle to save their hide and threaten Lester if they ever had a fallout. But it was heart wrenching for Ben and Dana to watch. Dana sobbed uncontrollably as she laid in Ben’s embrace. It was horrific to watch the heavy-duty vehicle ram into Dad’s car… not once…. But till he was pulverized and then into each other destroying all eviden

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

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

“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
