Back at Diana's abode.......Her kids woke up on their own and that was quite unusual. Usually, thier mum would wake them up early in the morning and they have gotten used to this early morning routine. Their mum not having waked them up this morning troubled their mind as she had never missed a day and without much time to waste, they hastily went to their mum's room and found out their mum was still in bed ......it became more unusual. On a norm, their mum wakes up very early and "Why was she still asleep?"They got troubled and rushed to meet thier mum still lying on the bed, it was then they saw the white gauze wrapped all over their mum's head. It couldn't have been any more obvious that all wasn't well with their mum. She was hurt!"Mum!!!" The kids cried out in unison, while shaking her to wake up. Diana opened her eyes slowly, with a splitting headache, her eyes, they felt gluey, stuck together. Something was tickling her face. It was someone’s hair. She sat up quickly, it wa
Hannah was just coming downstairs and she overhead and watched Owens asked the question. It shocked her, completely."Grandpa, it's merely a coincidence....I met their mum just few weeks ago. How do you expect us to have kids in such a short notice?" Mark countered."No! That's a lie". Stoic replied immediately and then turned to Owens "Dad and mum first met six years ago at a nightclub house and it was then and there they had sexual intercourse which resulted to us! Mum doesn't remember because she is suffering from a memory loss. But Dad remembers that night!" Stoic detailed, his voice as taut as a wire."Forget it...... She is not the lady from that night!.." Mark retorted shouting."Will you just get out already!" He added, he seemed enrange that this little brats are actually being interrogative and gut filled."How then did my mum got possession of the Silver ring?" Stoic questioned, with a smirk. "Thought about that?" He added as Mark is thrown into thoughts.As if struck dumb
Now, The Three Little Rugrats were of to school. They wanted to skip school and take care of their mother who is wounded but they reluctantly followed their mum's instruction. Diana was left under the supervision of a colleague of her -An Army Medical -. As she was injured, she can't just be left at home alone.Diana lied on her bed, then her phone chirped like a little birds voice. Her messages notification sound was set that way. She picked up her phone which was by her bedside and checked for the message. It was from her banking system. It read 'Happy Birthday!' along were wishes...."Oh!!! It's my birthday....I bet my kids doesn't even know" She muttered. Even herself had forgotten that today was her birthday.Last night, after she was hit by a log of plank, the first contact came as a whisper inside her head, delicate as the brush of a falling leaf. Aliko Diana!The first voice was joined by others. Who are you?I’m Diana. My mother is Jocelyn Aliko. My father is Aliko himself
One - Marry his betrothed, Hannah- However, don't forget that Hannah is fake. She is not the girl with the mark of an overlapping circle in her thighs, nor is she Charity Wakins granddaughter, Jake is merely using her to get access to the military base.Two - Get back the silver ring from Diana - "I'm already working on this, if not why would I want to get closer to her? I can't force her to give me the ring without the issue escalating, especially with her three Little Rugrats around!" Of a truth, if it escalated that the ring is not in his possession. Havoc, would erupt. He now has no idea, that Hannah and Jake Bernard are now aware that silver ring is not on his possession and would use it against him."I'm fine, Son! Just do the needful".. Owens responded and the next second coughed out a mouthful of blood. His condition got infuriated when he got poisoned six years ago, thus he had been living this way, occasionally his condition rises and he coughs out blood and faints out and
Stab, the head of the Black axe confraternity was talking to his superiors, the imperial lord of the Black axe confraternity. He had earlier reported how Jake and his privately hired military squad thrashed them, even the guts Jake had to step on their toes that provoked them.Stab needed to exert revenge on him."I want permission to take along the strongest of our confraternity to eliminate Jake. No one dares or defile Black axe confraternity and goes Scott free" Stab said, with his heads facing down. He was kneeling down before three imperial lord's who sat majestically in the "thrones of axe" thrones that wield their ancestors spirit man.The Black axe confraternity is merely one of the mafia group that makes up the city Triad. If Jake reports to them that the president general doesn't have the silver ring anymore and they in turn report to the triads Lords. They'd be promoted above the other two confraternities that makes up the Triad.Stab was still facing the floor impatiently
Presently at the black axe Confraternity home. Jake and his entourage had been let him after he stated his reason for his impromptu coming and now they were having further discussion with the imperial lords."You take me off your death list and I tell you a vital information that will rank you above the other two Confraternities...." Jake proposed..With no gap in time, they resolutely came to a conclusion, Jake is of the Black axe death list and they now have a vital information to rank them above the other two Confraternities.. The imperial lord didn't believe them at first, until Jake showed them the video Hannah sent to him earlier on.One could calm the exchange Trade By BarterAnyone who has the silver ring can control the triad and the triad hated being controlled, thus they wanted the silver ring for themselves, furthermore the person who now posseses the ring doesn't even know it's use. Before now, they only obeyed the president who in turn has power and authority because of
Meanwhile, Stoic and Legacy were Preparing a birthday present for their mother. She thought her children had forgotten and didn't even bother to remind them. She was even nervous and filled with "what if thoughts..." about tomorrow..."Cut the chase....Go Straight to the point... Why did you asked me to meet you here? " Mark inquired as he unlocked the warm embrace and sat on the chair just besides the one Flora sat on, just in front of the counter.."What may I offer you?" The bartender immediately came over and requested. Meantime, Flora was dragging a shaking breathe into her lungs as she sat on her seat."Just a bottle of water...." Mark answered the bar tender who was impatiently waiting for Mark's order to be placed. With that said, the bartender turned and walked away, most likely to fetch the bottle of water."Bottle water? Wow my son has grown to become such a responsible powerful figure!" Flora muttered to herself. Though she is in her 50's, she still looked like she was in
Stoic, Legacy and Jennifer glanced at themselves wryly, they Intuitively knew what he was trying to do, but nevertheless followed the flow. But, however stick to their plan."Yes!" They said in unison, almost excitedly.“Don’t look, don’t look . . .” Diana laughed. “I’m not looking.” There were hands over her eyes: Mark's hands, slim and flexible. His arms were around her, and they were shuffling forward together, laughing. He’d grabbed her the moment she’d walked in the front door, wrapping his arms around her as her whistle dropped from her hands. “I have a surprise for you,” he’d said, grinning. “Close your eyes. No looking. No, really. I’m not kidding.” “I hate surprises,” Diana protested now. She could perceive the scent of the man holding her, it was the president general and she intuitively knew that. "Let go of me!" She agitated but Mark didn't let go. Diana was wondering what people would say about the all of sudden closeness between her and the president general who w
Meantime,Anamika on the other hand was restless when the thoughts of Diana probed into her mind.She was seated close to her sleeping mum on the bed, but was completely absent minded. Then her phone chirped with a message, she dug her hands into her pocket and unearthed the phone. She quickly navigated to the message centre and saw the message from her secret lover, and it read,"Diana's children are illegitimate, no one knows their father!".Diana was stunned that she clenched her fist anxiously. She had told her secret lover to find out about Diana's children father, providing him with the necessary details to do so.The kids sure has a resemblance with the five star general and about six years old. Anamika suddenly became sensitive especially while trying to discern and connect the dots.She was now feeling like it was a necessary prerequisite to be aware of everything about Diana now! Aside being the four star general and a mother to triplets? What else?Deep down,she could not
At the end of the day. It was a successful surgery for Otani and he was now rehabilitating in the military rehab unit.Words had gone out. Jason, mega Island god of war received the news on time. "Someone killed Flora and his son?" His phone fell from his hands and scattered into smithereens on the hard floor.He was coaching his men for the battle ahead, which was tomorrow when the call arrived....."This had better not be true...... No, no, no, no ....." However, there was an oddness. He didn't wince in pain. His facial expression were devoid of any kind of pain. It was blank and cold. That was common with the god of wars... However, his heart was racing and he was filled with thoughts when his Personal Assistant walked up to him and handed him a phone. "Your son wants to speak with you ..." He said.Jason quickly grabbed the phone when he heard that...two different thoughts were left now and the both assailed him."Hello Dad, I'm fine...." The voice at the other end spoke out qui
Jake and his men were at a T junction. Otani was handcuffed, leg-cuffed and blindfolded, he was made to kneel down before Jake's car.Jake's Mercedes G-wagon was in front while three Lexus cars parked behind it like a fleet. Jake was sitting in the passenger seat in front while some of his men secured the perimeters. Two of his men stood side by side to the car he was in, they both wore a black suit and their hands dipped underneath their jacket like special protection unit.In a jiffy, the van carrying Flora arrived and Flora was forcefully dragged down by one of the vans occupant.When Richarlison noticed the van had stopped about 300 metres away. He paid the cab driver and alighted. The cab driver was clever that the van driver didn't notice the cab was trailing him.Richarlison thanked the driver before he entered the rubber tree plantation that surrounded the whole vicinity. He needed to get a clear shot of who Flora was meeting with, and most importantly why?Soon, he was hidin
In Northeast of the continent, there lies the sambisa forest which is regarded as niche of the Wagnar group of soldiers led by Mr Kane.Mr Kane is the father of Bernard who is now Jake. He is the step father of Mark the president general. Many years ago him and his late wife abducted Mark as their son.Mark grew up with Bernard (Jake). They got separated when Jake was sent to prison for murdering the families maid. Jake is indeed innocent of the crime and now he was exerting his vengeance on Mark because Mark knew all that happened but didn't unveil the real truth and as a result of that, Bernard was sent to prison.Mrs Kane, Bernards mum died shortly after Bernard was sent to prison and because of that, Mr Kane withdrew more to himself and became the fierce leader of the Wagner group of soldiers.Bernard had gotten out from prison few year later, after he experienced a serious fire-burn while in prison. He did plastic surgery and his facials changed. He started working as a security
Mark was back at his chambers thinking of how to go about his investigation after so many failed attempts . His instinct told him Diana was innocent of the crime of burning the ammunition house but however, clearly she is guilty for breaching the military rule and all evidence pointed out that she was guilty of both crimes.The most gruesome of the two crimes Diana is supposedly a prime suspect of is the crime of burning down the Ammunition House two days to a major war that will determine the future of Sterling city.Mark was deep in thoughts that he didn't know when Richarlison walked in. He was so much worried of exoneration good Diana's penance. He didn't want her executed. He had only 23 hours left."Sir!" Richarlison saluted. Mark didn't respond, he obviously didn't hear him."Sir!" He saluted again, this time more loudly that it jolted Mark from the land of thoughts."What?" Mark asked brusquely, rather tiresomely. He has been unable to catch a sleep for the last 24 hours becau
" Kill her!" "Execute her!""Make her experience the most gruesome death!"The crowd started to chant, it was not a surprise to all of them that someone such as Diana could commit such a big crime. Afterall, they are trained to never trust anyone."Silence!" Mark walked up to the microphone and said coldly. He was finding it hard to believe, yes, he had seen Diana and her mum walking towards that direction. Why did Diana go close enough when she knew it was a violation of the military rule?The next moment, the chants died down and the peace and graveyard silence was restored, everyone was anticipating Mark's judgement.Then some officer walked up the large podium, holding Diana, so, she doesn't get the chance to do anything drastic. "Leave me alone! I -" Diana wanted to complain but a stern and icy cold look from Mark shut her off, she was shocked and heartbroken. Mark of all people should know she can't do anything of such, but it seem like he doesn't even want to hear her own sid
Mark began to speak into the microphone,"We've encountered a huge loss in our ammunition sector just two days before we wage a war against the Mega Island military...and that puts us at a great disadvantage".. he cleared his throat, After a moment of dreadful silence and then continued."And as we speak, they may lunch their attack on us anytime soon. We need to be prepared for the worse to happen...", As he spoke, no one dared make a noise. There was a graveyard silence as everyone listened attentively with fear gripping their hearts.Then he continued.. "We're all aware that this ammunition building that was burnt down house all the sterling city military ammunition and it costed sterling city government billions of dollars, however, as the president general I'll be held responsible and I'm ready to face all the necessary panels...." everyone could see the hard look in his eyes as he turned to face the grand war king and grandwar masters. Then he cleared his throat before he conti
Diana was a only a few metres away from the villa when an officer approached her and saluted her, subsequently giving her some papers. It was met for the president general and since she was now his vice personal assistant, she could handle it.As she flipped the papers , she heard someone call her name from behind. She turned and surprisingly it was Flora. The president generals mother."Hi!!!!" She said with a forced smile. She didn't like Diana from the onset because the love she ought to be getting from her son were all going straight to her or atmost being shared between the both of them.Yes, she was that kind of mother..."Hi, Good evening ma'am!" Diana greeted respectfully, even though Flora ought to be the one to greet her.In the military base, age is just a number... Even if you're 70, it's your duty to obey your superior even if he or she is 10 years old."How are you? " Flora inquired,Gradually she successfully initiated a conversation with Diana and it was going well. A
Mark is usually very pretentious of his own good, so, naturally, and as usual, he would deny something as such but he couldn't - He only Coughed! - "Just came to check up on you as you couldn't came to check up on your mother... And yea, I understand why. You care for her much more than you do for me!" Flora again broke the silence. As she walked all over the room."I'm sorry mum, she is going through alot and I need to be by her side.... Her ex-husband has just legally taken her Triplets away from her..." Mark explained and then seized the opportunity to backlash his mum for abandoning him."She cares for them... Unlike some people I know...." He added as he leaned over to Diana who was changing her sleeping posture. He thought something had gone wrong with her or unsettled her - that explains how deep he cares for her -Flora was sensitive and she knew Mark was getting at her with what he said. It was indeed wrong for her to have left him all alone..she failed. Even his dad failed
