Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

“Get the cars ready! I’m going to bring my kids!” Jake ordered as Otani and Oman were dragged away. The two other men were spared.

“But sir… Sir…. Mark have his men posted around the government house!” His personal assistant objected.

“Don’t worry! I gat a plan” Otani responded as he walked away, leaving his personal assistant astonished.

“How does he manage to pull through all of this?” He wondered as he followed him closely.

“I hope the lackey’s ensured Jason, the mega Island god of war did not find out about what had just happened?” Jake stopped at his footsteps and asked. He needed to be sure because If Jason finds out, it’d cause a loophole in his plans.

Jason was Otani’s father and Flora’s ex husband….

However, to fully gain his trust, he would burn down the ammunition building of sterling military base before he lets him launch his attacks. But how?

Jason on the other hand had gotten pretty uncomfortable as he sensed something was off, but he couldn’t quite figure it out. He was yet to let his men attack because he had found out Otani was currently at Sterling military base.

Few minutes later of pacing forth and back in the underground spacious well ventilated living room, …. he decided to go check what was up, but , before he could get to the stairs leading upward, Jake had already arrived.

“Congratulations for us big man!” Jake broke out as he bumped into Jason.

“Woah… What’s that?” Jason inquired as he scrutinized closely.

“How?… di—-” Jason wanted to ask about the fool that got into the lion’s den when Jake dropped a bombshell that would save him alot.

” I have an insider and hold on for the next two days! Their ammunition building would be burnt down!”

“What! Big news!” Jason said in shock, the news was indeed relieving, if it indeed goes that way considering it’d be difficult.

Then his informant walked in and saluted before reporting. “He has left back for Delta city.. ”

Jason only nodded, this could mean only one thing.

“He was clear to attack!”

” Afterall, Otani has left… But why was he there?” He had a second thought.

Two days time he’d attack. Jake doesn’t break his promises. He’d surely find a way to burn down the ammunition building.

The ammunition building was a building that housed all the weapons of Sterling city military soldiers!

Back at the president generals villa….

Diana was still sort of depressed. Her kids were far from her and it felt like she had lost everything…..

They’re all right, nothing will happen to my kids ” Diana said, trying to comfort herself. She wondered if it helped. Was it better to think you had lost everything, and to start over? Or easier to know that the people you loved were alive, even if you could never see them again?

Tears had made their tracks through the make up on her face, but her eyes were dry.

As she looked around the room, a feeling of unreality came over her. It wasn’t possible that any of this was happening, was it? She knew how well stuff like this hurts.

She’d never thought any of this pain would ever apply to her and her kids. What they had wasn’t ordinary, or subject to the ordinary rules of relationships. They were bonded by strong storage kind of love.

Something that glittered silver across the room caught her eye. It was a box Legacy normally hides his diary, its delicate design of birds around the sides made it attractive. She found herself drawn to the box now, though.

She touched the lid of the box, and her fingers found the clasp, which sprung open easily. Inside were scattered papers, old photographs. She drew one out, and stared at it, fascinated. There were three bouncing baby boys in the photograph. It was a picture of her triplets when she newly gave birth to them. Then she turned the photograph and saw the word “momma” written boldly on it and her mind flashed back to many years ago.

The reason her parents disowned and bastardized her….

Meanwhile, Mark on the other hand…..

Mark froze when what Danny just confessed registered-but only for a second. His body moved before his mind had time to catch up, catapulting him to his feet.

“Don’t tell me you’re serious?” He inquired. His heart beating unevenly in his chest, like a broken metronome, but his voice was steady.

“Yes I’m!… That was what happened! And now my family would be wiped out!” Danny said with a pathetic tone.

“I wouldn’t let that happen… I promise…. Stay here… I’ll get back to you!” Mark said as he walked out, almost hastily.

Mark was flabbergasted to find out that the Charity Wakins granddaughter, his betrothed with the mark of the the overlapping in her thighs was no other person than Diana, and not Hannah!

It was all Jakes plan!

Mark cursed as he walked out.

However, he felt pretty excited and good. At least, a valid reason to love Diana has been provided and confirmed.

And secondly, it explains why she had the mark…..

It also reminded her of Hannah!

“That bitch hasn’t been caught!” The thought of Hannah sprinkled anger into him.

**********

Then a chaos erupted in the military base. It was not a signal that an impromptu or unexpected war had just come, but a signal that the Flora had just returned.

The news had gotten leaked to the public that the missing Flora was the president generals mother, thus, everyone automatically respects her.

Jake was solely responsible for the leaking of the information…..Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Medical officer ran to meet her and welcome her after they checked her vitals and confirmed she posed no threat. They started treating her like a queen as they welcomed her. Everyone of them wanted to curry her favour. Anyone who has favour in the president generals mother has favour in the president general himself, so they all thought.

Just as Mark walked out, he heard the signal alarm.

It could only mean two things, “someone of a high rank had come to the military base or an unexpected war had just started!”

Then an officer spoke into the microphone in the central field, the sound wave were clearly perceptible as Mark obviously heard what he said perfectly.

“The president generals mother had just arrived!”

“His mum? Do anyone know his mum? Is Flora back?”

He wondered as started towards the central field hastily, when an officer approached him and reported that Otani is reportedly out of Sterling city! With his fast pace, other officers, his escorts joined him.

“He couldn’t even inform me despite the hospitality I showed him! Such ungrateful brother!… But it is what it is…” Mark disbursed his thoughts off immediately, “He could have lied… well, I think my mum is back now and I’d ask to confirm…. after all…. he wanted Otani gone, so he could be far away from Diana’s life and secondly he has more urgent issue to understand and handle.
