Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

“Will join you soon. Give me some space with my kids!” Diana requested with an amicable voice.

Mark accepted the request and took few steps back and was now behind the Rolls-royce boat tail.

Diana managed to convince her kids not to act disrespectful towards him for he was a powerful figure and he can be a green card, to navigate her way up by securing a higher pay, enough to foot their school fees and other bills.

Owing to the peculiar nature that they respected their mum so much, they nodded in agreement. Only Legacy, hesitated. He hated being threatened let alone threatening his mum, whom he swore to protect. Jennifer, however made a thoughtful objection “What if it’s a kidnap course?” She asked at the end.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Com’on… The probability is zero. The burly bouncers behind him has licensed barge and ID cards hanged on thier coats upper, outside pocket”. Stoic was quick to point out. They were folding their arms across their massive chest.

“They can be faked!” Legacy objected.

Jennifer ended the argument that was definitely going to erupt, because never will Stoic accept defeat.

“Big bro is right. They’re licensed! The security wouldn’t let them in into this airport surrounding if they were not.”

That didn’t settled down with Legacy though, but however followed their mum’s instruction.

Presently, their luggages had already been put into the Rolls-royce boot. And the door to the Rolls-royce boat tail in the middle was open for Diana and her kids.

Diana’s heart was racing all the while. Why does her kids has a striking resemblance with Mark? Would he just ignore that take it as a coincidence or proceed to find out why they bear a likeness to him?

They had obviously never met until the past week and “Sure” it’s merely coincidence. But this one he says we’ve five years ago? At a night club party? What if we have met truly? What if the ring belongs to him? Was he my husband in my past life? The one who betrayed me? Questions flooded her mind at once. She heaved a sigh with the intentions of getting out of the thoughts but it was not helping.

“Mummy!” That was what brought her back from the land of thoughts.

She came on board the Rolls-royce boat tail after her kids and in a jiffy they were plying on the highway towards the sterling city military base.

She could feel an unusual warmth erupt inside of her, despite being in air conditioned car. She had no face here in her homeland anymore. Her husband had ruined her in her past life, according to her, but she has no better option, she has to stay here for her kids to get quality education and also for her job.

She could see through the tinted glass , checkpoints at strategic places inside of the military zone. The military zone was vast that it took 1/10th of the Sterling City. That was due to the fact that their military power increased exponentially year to year as they had many enemies. And, they had just won a major battle against Woodland city, thus, many got injured and will be needing medical attention for their rehabilitation. The army medicals there needed all the help they could get and with that stand, many army medicals of Ally cities deployed Army medicals to assist them, Diana got caught in this cross fire.

Initially, she was to taken there by the military aeroplane but she opted to go there on her own, because of fear , her kids may create problems for her.

“So, what are you coming to do here in sterling city military base? With your luggages? Or You’re one of the Army medicals?” Mark broke the silence, halfway through the journey.

“Yes!” Diana replied with a partial interest, wanting to avoid any form of conversation with him. She has been unable to contain her thoughts and can’t afford to add another.

“Alright!” Mark said. He was sitting at the front.

Then, Jennifer nestled closer to her wanting to feel her warmth. Stoic and Legacy were both busy looking through the windows and pointing out some major interesting things they were seeing.

In a jiffy, the Rolls-royce boat tail pulled over before very beautiful three story building. The door wass opened for Diana and her kids, after they alighted. They were lead into the three story building painted white.

The Rolls-royce boat tail zoomed off again, towards the VIP section of the military zone. They were clearly going to drop the president General off.

Soon, Diana and her kids settled down in their new abode, Stoic and Legacy, sat at the right and left side of Diana on the couch respectively, while Jennifer was sitting on her laps.

Stoic especially, was still trying to blend into the new air around him, least he be detected and psychologically ostracized.

Afterwards, Diana went to prepare something for herself and kids to eat. It was getting late already and she had to sleep early to wake-up early. Tomorrow, would be her first day of work resumption in her new place of work and she also had to get her kids enrolled in the prestigious academy that managed outstandingly smart kids.

All the while she was cooking, she kept on reflecting why the fearsome president general came to pick her up from the airport and why her kids bore so much resemblance with him. But she couldn’t make sense out of everything. The only clue she had with her was the silver ring, with the initials K. O marked on it.

Who was her husband in her past life? Was it the president General? But he has never been married! She snapped. Then, quickly picked up her phone and googled who owns Jake’s oil company but to her surprise, she couldn’t get a picture of the man. Every article with his photo attached, had been deleted. This only created curiosity within her? She was desperate to know what happened before she met with the accident and who she was before that horrible and terrible event, and why she filed for a divorce. The Jake’s oil company used to be Diana’s oil company, that she knew very well.

“I need to face my fears! And rise again!”

She picked up her phone the second time and texted Felicity a voice note that they had arrived safely. She figured she may get worried if she didn’t receive any text after their safe arrival.

In odd fragments, some parts of her memory drifted through her brain, lingered for a moment, and then dissolved in mist as quickly as they’d come. This resulted her to feel an ache in her head. After a while, the ache she was hitherto feeling died down.

Back at the VIP section of Sterling City military base, After mark freshened up, he kept having his grandfather’s steely voice reverberate in his mind that made his eyes turned icy.

“””Mark, You’re to recover the silver ring, only with it can you control the triads of the cities with the help of the military. Anyone who owns the ring will be dutifully and same time loyally respected by the triads and mafia of the cities in this region for some reasons you’re to discover along the line…”””

“”Mark, You need to get me a great grand child. I made a covenant with an old lover, that you’re to marry her grand child who bears a mark of an overlapping circle on her innermost thigh. She will be the mother of your children”””

The former, he was already working on and was close to. He was closer to recovering the ring, and the latter, he was not even close to. And he can’t disobey his grandfather, he would risk losing every power and the face he has as the president general if he dares to. He only could ask for time but his grandfather had no time on his side, he still had three months to live according to the doctor, which incidentally mean Mark has just three months left to find this girl or lady.

He didn’t understand why his grandfather always insisted on the latter and was like, it’s a price for him to pay to keep being the president general. He enjoyed being the president General. Thus, he had been looking for the girl with a mark of an overlapping circle on her thighs for years now. The cities in this region contained over millions of ladies, how he was going to find a particular lady out of millions of ladies in different geographical regions, was what baffled him. It was like looking for a particular soldier ant in a soldier ant hill. Still he wasn’t relenting.

The only clue he had for this mission with 0. 1% chance of success was her grandma’s name “Charity Wakins” . Over the years, he had been unable to find who bore the name let alone, her granddaughter his grandfather said he must marry to bear him grandchildren.

Just then his phone rang, he looked at his iphones screen and saw the caller ID, it was Danny, someone he employed to find out about Charity Wakins, he picked it up and answered brusquely “What?”

“Sir, I have found out about Charity Wakins grand daughter! Her name is…- Mark couldn’t hear the latter part, it was not perceptible enough due to the network coverage fluctuating.

“What’s her name?” Mark shouted closer to the phones microphone. Danny could hear him clearly but whatever he said, Mark couldn’t hear. Obviously because the network coverage was not particularly good under Marks roof at that instant. The military zone was undergoing a network upgrading so, network was temporarily unavailable.

A an elated gleam however ran through Marks mind when the call ended . “Finally, he was going to exonerate his penance and secure his face and status”.

Danny would sure call him back or text him the details.

Mark never thought he would be this nervous though. Finding a particular lady and getting married to her? What if she is not pretty, beautiful and cute like his imaginary wife? What if she is even married to someone else? Does she even know we’re fated together by either of our grandparents?

After, he heaved a sigh and another thought rumbled on his mind.

“Why does – mark suddenly realized he didn’t know Diana’s name – whatever her name is…. Why does her children bear so much resemblance with me? She is realistic definition of my imaginary wife though! He chuckled and heaved another heavy sigh again.

Then his phone chirped. Seemed like an SMS message had just been received.
