“The gismo is on its way to you. Once you receive, sterilize and bring it over. Let’s carry out the operation tonight.” Ed paused “I am not sure how big or heavy it is. Do you want us to come back?”
“Nope. I will get Gurney to help.”
“Yes. Gurney is a good choice.”
Gurney was one of the orderlies and an exceptionally reliable and honest man. He was also very tight lipped and very loyal to Ian.
“Ed, I have not used one of these gismos before. I have only read experimental research stuff….” Ian paused awkwardly.
“Dana has asked her mate to enclose instructions for use. If there’s still any questions, Ben can contact Dana for you.”
“Why can’t I call her directly?”
“Do you want to ask Ben that?” Ed ra

“Isn’t it just money?” Pete asked with annoyance.“Didn’t you see us lose? That’s what we always do… LOSE!!!” Stinton shouted resentfully.“What if…” Pete paused deliberately “What if I can help you make money? Loads of it?”“Money?? And loads???” Stinton had stars around his eyes.“No…no…. that will be trouble.” Grey shook his head as he tried to pull Stinton and Hark up.“No. Trust me. It’s as easy as this!” Pete raised his hand and flipped a coin.“Really??” Hark sat up drunk and looked at Grey “Why don’t we listen?”“Not good… not good…” Grey shook his head in half drunken state.“Why?” Hark became listless.“We are drunk…. What if we make a mistake? Our wives will kill us.” Grey made a cutthroat gesture before lying back on the table.“How about I take you guys back to the hotel? We can talk tomorrow when you are not drunk.” Pete smiled like an understanding elder.“Can we?” Grey looked confused and mumbled “Okay.”Hark wanted to go to toilet and fumbled his way to the restroom.
Destined to love How can you wager my goddaughter's happiness?
Ben came out after shower and sat in the living room staring at his phone. He was looking at the picture of Mr and Mrs Tarzann that he had tricked Dana into taking.‘When will he be able to openly declare that she was his? When would she accept him? How?’ Ben sighed. He couldn’t explain his feeling or why he felt this way. Logically speaking, she wasn’t an extraordinary beauty for him to be taken by her beauty; He had interacted with women who were much more beautiful and delicate.She wasn’t the smartest women he had ever met; He had met woman who were much more capable and successful. It wasn’t a friendship that developed over years and bloomed into love…. There simply wasn’t any reason. He just loved her.On reflection, maybe for argument’s sake one could say that he was just curious after their first meeting. But when did curiosity change into a bone deep feeling? He didn’t know. The more he looked and interacted, regardless of her rejection, he became more convinced ‘She was his’

Everyone went to their rooms.5 mins later, at the door- “Knock ….knock…”Ben opened the door sleepily after ruffling his hair.“Mr Adalase?”Ben nodded with a displeased expression.“Sorry Sir. But there is an urgent message from a friend requesting you to go back immediately. Something happened to your mom.” The concierge staff had a regretful expression.“Eh?” Ben looked shocked “Ok. Please help me process the checkout procedure.”“No problem Sir.”Ben closed the door and knocked on Shadow’s door.Shadow opened the door. He had completely transformed into Darvin.“Packed?”Shadow nodded.“Book the flights. Give me 5 minutes.”Ben quickly packed his stuff. There wasn’t much to pack anyway. He came out with his suitcases.“Leave them there. We will bring them.” Frank was already waiting in the lounge. Jayden and Kayden were packing their gears.“Leave the surveillance on the target location till we give all clear. You can leave
