Jake had instinctively knew he is a major target and a suspect of the abduction of the missing of Flora, the president generals mother and thus, he can't just show up and let himself get caught. Although, the abduction is not made to the public yet.

Otani on the other hand and his men and a lawyer, supposedly his lawyer arrived a little bit late. He was there to ensure Jake doesn't win the case and gets custody of his children.

Meanwhile, Mark on the other hand has brought along some medical doctors to carry out a paternity test to prove that he is the father of the kids.

    With a nod, Mark then sat down at the extreme of the bed, facing her. After a moment he shifted closer, and then raised his hands up to her cheek. He took a deep breath and looked up at her. Her eyes were full of uncertainty. An unfamiliar urge rose inside him: the urge to put his arms around her and tell her it was all right. He didn’t. In his experience, things were rarely all right. “Mark?,” she said, so softly that he had to lean forward to catch her words, “Will everything be alright? No.”"All will be fine....! Your kids will return back to you! I ensure you that!" Mark said then she put her hands on his. "You sure?" She said on an exhale of breath, almost in a teary tone."Yes!", Mark responded in assurance.Then Diana flew at him and hugged him tightly. ...."Oh baby! How it feels!" It had been one of her fantasy's. Hugging her this close and tightly passionately. Then they both disengaged.Their faces were only inches away from each other. She felt his breath against her
