Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Diana collapsed in the supreme court room and Mark quickly ran to help her and at least revive her. Her body was instantly weak, but her mind and will were alive.

Otani stood, still healing from the shock of the paternity DNA test report that came out. It was zero percent chance for him! So, he was not even the kids father? Damnit! He had high hopes but everything has already shattered, left for him to find and focus on his mum who Jake has reportedly kidnapped.

Mark on the other hand couldn’t think straight. His beloved had lost consciousness. The doctor didn’t waste time on reviving her to face the reality that her kids would be taken away from her for the next three years….. or more..

*****

At Jake’s hideout. Jason was already planning on launching an attack on Sterling military base with all his mega Island soldiers but he can’t give the order now. His only son was in the sterling military base.

Jake was super excited when he watched the judge gave the verdict. He expected it, he had it all planned perfectly and kudos to Clancy!.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Next target was to get the silver ring in exchange for his mum… that’s if he wants her alive….

Just then his phone chirped with a message from his personal aid and it read “We found one of the men caught on the screen to be Otani Jason, mega Island god of war’s only son!” Jake looked completely shocked at that, his lips parting slightly in surprise, as if this had never occurred to him. Of course, he did had a son…

Jake sank back against the couch cushions and then laughed, his laugh was a humorless bark. Then another message arrived on his phone and be quickly flipped it open and this new message read “Flora is apparently the mother of Otani, his son….. .” Jake was so flabbergasted and marveled about this revelation that he stood up and paced to his desk, hands locked behind his back. “kings of cards game!” he smiled Diabolically.

He had a plan….

Otani has gone back to Sterling military base devastated and disappointed at the same time. He was sipping an alcohol when a message arrived on his phone but he ignored it. It was when the harsh ring of the telephone cut through his daze that he jumped back as if he’d not be soaking himself with alcohol, though he hadn’t moved. He stared at the phone and then to the bottle of liquors for a moment, in wild confusion, like he found himself suddenly transported to a strange landscape where nothing was familiar.

Upon reaching for the phone that rested on the desk beside the spice rack. “Hello?” He sounded normal, but his chest was rising and falling fast. He could still feel the pounding of his heart in his throat, like the fluttering wings of an insect trapped under his skin. “It’s Jake…. Bring the silver ring in exchange for your mother before the next ten hours elapses!” The voice at the other end rang through seriously.

After a brief moment the voice continued.

“This is between us! Or else she dies!”

“Prove she is still alive…..” Otani finally said a word, he initially doubted.

“Son… Son….. don’t co- don’t…” A voice rang through the cellphone. A familiar voice, obviously his mother…. Flora.

“You heard her….. Don’t waste any more time!” The caller, Jake added.

“Wait….. The silver ring alone? Don’t worry you gat it but I need visual evidence that my mum is fine!” He demanded then the phone call ended.

It didn’t take more than a minute before the phone rang again, Otani was already expecting it but this time it was a video call. He quickly picked it to see his mum tied to a chair. Upon Flora seeing her son she immediately started blinking her eyes very fast… Then the video call ended.

Visual proof confirmed!

” When you have the silver ring, contact us for us to drop location! Remember, just ten hours!” The message that sprang up read so.

After he read the message , Otani only smiled derisively and then said…

“I laud his guts!”

He then dashed out calling out to Oman, his personal bodyguard and informing him about the case at hand.

To get the ring, he has to go collect it from Mark without his notice. He can’t risk telling Mark the condition at hand as it may result in their mother’s death….. So, he started of towards the president generals villa.

Mark and Diana were seated on a couch in Marks bedroom. The kids had been taken away to the government parental sector, obviously a place Jake would have to go to finalize owing the custody of the kids. Mark had his men strictly put their eyes on that area, that one’s Jake shows up, they’d trail him and feed him the necessary details.

Then Diana rose to her feet, not looking at Mark, and then she went into the bathroom. She stood looking at herself in the mirror, numbness spreading through her bones. Her face was covered in smears of her tears. It reminded her that her three cute little adorable triplets would now be living with that devil who claims to be their father and it hurt her. Her bra straps had snapped, probably where Mark had yanked on it few minutes ago. Her eyes were surrounded with smeared black stripes of mascara, and her skin and hair were sticky with Mark scent.

Feeling faint and sick, she stripped off the slip dress and her underwear, tossing them into the wastebasket before crawling into the hot water.

She washed her hair over and over again, trying to get the dried dirt oil – her hair had rubbed – gunk out. It was like trying to wash out oil paint. The scent of it lingered too, like the water from a vase after the flowers have rotted, faint and sweet and spoiled on her skin. No amount of soap seemed to be able to get rid of it.

Finally convinced she was as clean as she was going to get, she dried off and went to the master bedroom Mark had given to her in the president general villa to get dressed up. She was supposed to live with her kids here!. However, It was a relief to climb back into jeans and boots and slip on a comfortable cotton sweater. It was only then, as she pulled on her second boot, that the nagging feeling returned, the feeling that she was missing something. She froze –

Then a knock on the door was heard…. She didn’t respond but he instinctively knew who it was…. Mark definitely. Only him, Richarlison and her stays here now and Richarlison doesn’t have any business coming to her bedroom and to even sum it up, he is out of the city to fetch Danny, who is now Wakins..

She looked up to see Mark walking in, he seemed freshened up already.

Diana had never really trusted beautiful boys which was why she somehow hated Mark. From the first time she ever laid eyes on him, similar to Jake…

“Can I sit?” He requested humbly.
