The next day.....
The current head of Jake's oil company, Jake Bernard was seeking and in need of a private military army for protection. Few days back, his personal assistant mailed sterling city military base and made the request to hire and own a private military squad.Jake was in desperate need of the private military army for protection. He has an unsettled score with Black axe triads who poses a great threat to him and his businesses and if care is not taken, he would be killed. The Black axe triad was the most deadliest triad in the whole cities.Jake was coming personally to pick from the selected veterans or ex-servicemen. Ten were selected, and he was to pick five from them. They were all trained to same extent and one can possibly offer what the other is capable of offering. His lackeys had no sufficient potential to protect him. Diana woke up massaging her throbbing forehead. She had a fitful sleep and was still feeling groggy.She woke up a little bit too early than usual for her. She had to to get her kids ready for school. It was going to be their first day of resumption in the prestigious high school in sterling city that can assume same precision of level of accuracy as her kids intellect and as well coach ad teach them what they needed to learn. Diana was convinced that at least this new school with the way it's been hyped, her children will have no issues with blending in and not getting psychologically ostracized.In a blink of an eye, she was fully awake. She dashed to her kids room and they were even much to her surprise awake.Stoic was on his computer doing some researches as he normally does. He'd literally and practically spend his whole night studying and doing researches, he had been privately and secretly working on a project for the medical association. A drug that could cure coronavirus in other words COVID-19 that is most likely going to erupt and break out due to evolution and they had to prepare beforehand since they can't avoid it. The disease was a deadly one such that if it erupts, the whole cities may undergo a serious pandemic.Legacy on the other hand was sketching something on his drawing book. He was a good artiste. The thing he was drawing seemed to look familiar, but when Diana shifted closer- he closed it. Jennifer on the other hand was still fast asleep. Legacy looked up in amusement all over his face."Good morning mummy" he greeted reverentially as he covered his drawing book.Stoic who was still fixated on his computer at this point glanced and also greeted with a sleepy tone. One need not be a genius to know he has been awake all through."Good morning my sweethearts.. Y'all need to start getting ready for school. Wake your sister up!" Diana replied as he nestled closer tapping Jennifer in order to wake her up. Legacy soon joined in the tapping.Sooner, she moved changing her sleeping position and was rubbing the back of her hands on her eyes as if to get rid of something - sleep- the bed was vast enough to contain all three of them. Jennifer would never agree to stay at the girls room alone except her brother are there also. Their three had such a great affinity for each other and that cemented their bond."Get up!" Diana said as she carried Jennifer up.Just then a resounding noise went through the room,"-Yesssssss! I did it! I figured it out!" Stoic jumped from his desk excitedly and the feeling of satisfaction all over his face. He kept on shouting "Yesss" for some seconds. Legacy on the other hand shoved his drawing book into the locker and locked it up, he was very concerned about his mum not seeing what he was actually drawing.Diana was quick to notice it. What could he be drawing? And why the hell is Stoic shouting Yes and Yes all over and over again. "Such weird children! Nevertheless best kids in the world" she said to herself."Mum, I finally completed my project. I have a cure for the coronavirus that may likely erupt. I did it! I just need to carry out an experiment to test it!" Stoic said with a joyous tone, with his hands up stretching his body. He was exhausted indeed.Diana just smiled. How could five year old kids possess potential as her kids? "Goodluck baby!" She said. She had never doubted what his kids could do with their intellect.In jiffy, they were all up and were getting ready for school. Stoic, despite wearing a very sleepy face was the most vibrant because of his theoretical success.Presently, they were set for school. Diana was as well ready to start her shift. She was to report to the medical office, sign her name and begin her work by tending to the injured at the military hospital ward.Diana took her kids to the prestigious school by the name "Einstein Academy" and got them enrolled. Five year old kids in a high school indeed!On her way back to the sterling military zone, before she could board a taxi back home, she saw a figure entering into a G-Wagon at a parking lot. The figure looked so familiar.Maybe she had known that man, she thought. Maybe it was something she’d forgotten—who remembered the friends you had in kindergarten? And yet she couldn’t shake an image of him, She shook her head in frustration. The image was gone like a silver-quick fish slipping off a line.They were halfway close to Sterling military zone when she casted her mind back, desperately trying to remember. He found herself doing that a lot lately. Bits of memories would come to her, fragments of poetry she didn’t know how she’d learned, glancing recollections of voices, dreams she’d wake up from shaking and sweating and unable to recall what had happened in them. Dreams of betrayal and pain, of echoes. the aching sense that there was something missing, she didn’t know what but something, like a weight in the middle of her chest. As Felicity said, once you started worrying about the future, you started obsessing about the past.Sooner, she alighted and walked briskly to the army medical office and signed her name after which she went to the Medical military hospital ward to start with her shift.She was tending to an injured senior officer when her pager beeped 'The President General Wants You At Her Office!'. She couldn't help but wonder why he wanted to meet her, still she resolute into going as soon she was done with her patients, after all no one dared disobey his orders."Something is not right? Until now, Danny has not sent or called to inform me about Charity Wakins Granddaughter; who is betrothed to me! This is unlike Danny." Mark said to himself, he was in his office, sitting on his office desk with his hands folded.His last conversation with Danny over the phone was disrupted by a network coverage, but something kept telling him that wasn't all. He had overheard a thrashing sound in the background and some persons screening in an agonizing pain. Danny was his old school classmates thus, they were really good friends. Mark finally resolutely placed a call over to Danny but it was unreachable. He was getting tensed when a message arrived on his phone, it beeped and he picked it up, it was a message from Danny, his first instinct was to place a call over immediately to know if he is overthinking nature is not merely deceiving him that all is not well. he did, and the phone that has just sent him a message was unreachable. "Something is definitely
Jake was momentarily stunned. When he regained his senses, he guffawed out loud."What a coincidence. Isn't that Diana?" He directed the question towards the president general. "Uhmmmm .." Mark tried to remember her name when he realized he hadn't known his name all the whole while. "I don't even know her name. She is an army medical!" He added. "Ohhhhh""Yea! Back to why you're here. You can have your seat now" Mark responded and gestured for him to sit at once."Good afternoon President General " Jake greeted after gaining back his composure. He stepped forward and sat down, he gave Mark a very look that radiated a murderous intent tainted with mischief. He shot him an icy glare when Mark grabbed for his jacket. 'This bastard!" Jake said to himself. Rage,anger and pain mixed into one thing erupted within him at once. All his life, he had been strategizing on how to get close to this figure before him and cut his heads off."Back to business!" Mark sat and shifted some documents to
Presently at Marks office."What do you mean you couldn't find him?" Mark shouted loudly. He was pissed and worried at the same. Danny was nowhere to be found.Richarlison shivered with fear and sweats had started to pour down his face. It's been a while he saw the president general this angry."Sir, Give me sometime, I'll find him!" Richarlison pleaded."You have two days!" Mark stated more angrily then he grabbed his jacked and started off towards the offices exit."Get the boys ready and take me to the address I forwarded you!" He added as Richarlison followed suit.House number 10, Aliko Bay District. The most luxurious and remarkably the best neighborhood in the whole of Sterling City constructed at the top of the mountains few kilometers away from the military base. For that reason, not only was the scenery there astounding, but the air was exceedingly fresh.Those who could live there were either wealthy or influential people from the upper echelons of the society. Ordinarily p
The military officers whose duties are to guard and protect Mark stayed behind after mark instructed them to, while Richarlison followed Mark up to the mansions entrance. The door was locked obviously from the outside. Richarlison was clever enough to discern that."The door is locked from the outside! She is not at home, deductively." Richarlison said and a grin appeared on his face. A jaguar at that instant drove past the military officers by the compounds gate in the Aliko Bay mountain and whizzed of to the parking lot and halted. The sound of the engines and the brake halting naturally would draw anyone's attention. Soon the engine died down."I was beginning to think we came at the wrong time. Then boom! I suppose she is here" Mark exclaimed. At that moment Mark saw the woman stepping out of the car at the parking lot. The woman caught his eyes because of the overwhelming presence she exuded.Like a queen, she was extraordinarily beautiful in her crimson dress. Her hair had bee
"I know of the story! And I have longed waited for you!" Hannah added.There was a fleeting silence for a moment. Mark raised his face and locked gazes with Hannah. "So, how can I be sure you're her?" Mark demanded. "Okay, first you have to follow me to my bedroom and I'll show you something!" Hannah leaned forward and stood up. Her legs spreading out wide as she stood up and Mark saw red - his brain couldn't divulge. "The mark of the overlapping circle? On your thigh? Inner most thigh" Mark pressed further. His heart was racing faster. Cold sweats dripping. And intense desires erupting within him. "Yea! Come with me!" She said and started off towards her bedroom. Mark followed behind her. He was focused on her ass, shaking. She was climbing the stair, and at the front and slightly above him, the stair was coiled upward, while Mark behind her at the bottom , thus he could see her pants easily, she was wearing a mini skirt. A very short semi transparent one.Soon, they were at her
"Where mumny?" Jennifer asked after her cheeks turned pink, and blushed. She loved the way her mum always complimented her."The President Generals Abode!" Diana answered cheerfully. "Come let's go. I'm already late." She added."Mum!" Stoic called out to her mum with all righteousness. He closed his laptop and continued."Have you noticed we're actually the miniature of the president general? We look very much alike! Is he our father?" The question was so abrupt. Diana on the receiving end didn't wanted her kids to feel hopeless about their father. Thus, she said stalled the question but Stoic was very persistent...."Mum, Stop stalling and answer the damn question!" Stoic shouted "Please!!! Tell us!" He added to soften the venom his words probably must have caused."Okay fine. I'll tell you all you need to know when we come back from where we're heading to right away!" She grinned and promised her children.The kids naturally were reluctant to agree. But they nodded their head in a
Meanwhile...Jake Bernard, whose original name is Benjamin Bernard is sitting on his office desk with a satisfactory expression on his face. "His plan was going as he mapped it!" It was all over the news what transpired at Sterling City military base. (President General was attacked at his ward!)Then his phone vibrated alongside making a chirping sound. A message had just arrived. He picked up his phone and read the message."Aliko Diana now working as an Army medical at Sterling City military base is suffering from a memory loss due to a accident! She has a new identity! And now a mother of three, age range 5-6 years old. Triplet!" The message read.Jake smiled craftingly. He seemed to be excited with the news. He would believe whatever his informant tells him. His informant was tested and trusted!"I have a second chance with her then!"Of a truth, Benjamin really loved her and still does. Just that his rage and revenge seeking self had made him dumped the emotions. According to
It was Jake, behind him was his bodyguards - private army he hired - "Sorry about my kids behavior! We should be on our way!" Diana apologized again and was excusing herself. With the way Mark fixated his gaze on her, she felt she was doing something wrong thus, she said"Kids - apologize!" Diana gestured at her kids rubbing their hairs."Sorry Daddy! Sorry to bother you this afternoon!" The three rugrats said in unison, bowing their heads in an unsynchronized manner as they greeted with their honey-soaked kiddie voices.Mark was little overwhelmed with their obedience, but what he was quite unsure about was the fact that this Rugrats kept on addressing him as their father!"Com'on kids, he is not your father!" Diana squatted trying to force open her children's brain and insert the information 'He is not your father' by force."Com'on... Follow me!" She added alas dragging her kids along when a cold voice rang out."Hey, don't be in a hurry!" Jake said with a loud cold voice. He was
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
