Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

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 now standing a few kilometers away from Mark and his entourage.

Diana came to a abrupt halt when she realized the man was actually referring to her. “What’s it again?” She murmured as she swept her gaze towards the figure and met his sharp gaze.

It’s the same man she had bumped into at the president generals office, few days ago. Something about his amber eyes seemed to hide a pool of unfathomable coldness. He had a broad chest and his arm’s muscle puffed out but not excessively. Average for his looks. Would be warm for a lady to squeeze herself into them.

“Ouch….”

All Diana could feel now was a splitting headache and a throbbing pain all through her body, as if she had just been hit my a tricycle or a car. She furrowed her brows at the unease, she managed to find the strength to shrug it off. It was a similar feeling, she had felt something like this when she first bumped into this figure. Something continually kept insisting and digging out Diana’s memories like a grave being dug.

“Sorry, about my impromptu visit President General! And Good Day!” Jake greeted deferentially, hastily moving forward with his guards behind.

“I’m exceedingly busy. Why are you here?” Mark asked point black. One thing he didn’t like was being visited without an appointment, in other words extemporaneously.

“Two things!” Jake replied immediately.

“Go on…”

“Firstly, to wish you a big congratulations! You’ve left the single life brotherhood.” Jake said with a bright smile.

Jake didn’t care. He just smiled back, after all he was only getting married because his grandfather, Kelly Owens made it necessary and to be more specific he even chose a wife for him.

“…. And what’s the second reason?” Mark inquired.

“Ultimately and lastly. I’m here to seek consent from my ex-wife to carry out a paternity test on her kids – the possibilities I’m their father is very high!” Jake’s voice rang through and it resulted in a deep silence.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Hannah heaved a heavy sigh. She was trying to dodge Jake’s gaze since she is not so good at hiding behind a facade of her face. She was merely a pawn to Jake.

Jake planned everything. He found out Mark was searching for Charity Wakins granddaughter, his betrothed and he had to act fast, thus he made Hannah the lady Mark was searching for. It was all to monitor Mark’s move so that when he strikes, it’d be without flaws.

Meanwhile…

At the northernmost region. A region with lands filled with ice and snow like the northern tribe in Avater – the last Airbender series. The earth and the sky were in difficult shades of same white and in the the deepest corners of the biggest mountain sat a military base. This place in particular is undetectable even by satellite imagery. Only an insider knew this world class military base that was built mainly to train world class deadliest army’s that in every five years gets transferred to Sterling City military base to aid with their war and defeat enemies. Thus, Sterling City is untouchable.

The military base housed the best elite soldiers, the best Army medical teams and top-notch weaponry as well.

In the blizzard, a muscular old man with sharp eyebrows strode through the base, his military boots stepping on the snow with an audible crunch. On his shoulders, three golden military rank glinted. It was no other person than Kelly Owens, Marks Grandfather..

“Supreme grand god Of War!” A military officer wearing his complete military uniform saluted, then sighed. “Information reaching us now conveys that your favourite student “Mark Owens” has chosen a wife, Hannah, Charity Wakins’ grand – ” he was not done when three military officers emerged struggling to carry out an accelerator that has gotten bursted.

“Good news! Then!, Get the boys ready, I live by noon to give my grandson my blessings on his soon to be official marriage!” With that said he dismissed the military officer. He heaved a sigh of relief. He had just three months to live according to his medical doctor. Finally, his last wish had been gratified, but something bothered when now that he was left alone on the passage built with alloys in the base. “Hannah? Is that her name? Old age must have really taken a toll on me that I can’t even remember her name. But Whatever her name is. I’m glad my son has found her!”

He picked up his military phone and wanted to dial Mark number but he was distracted when an alarm erupted, a signal that needed his attention positive wise.

“Diana is my ex-wife and high probabilities her kids are mine!” Jake explained after getting bombarded with many questions from Mark and Diana herself who felt troublesome herself when Jake stated his second reason for coming to the military base.

“I know you’re suffering from amnesia and certainly don’t remember me!” Jake added.

” How dare you?” Diana clenched her fist tightly and fer face erupting with rage and anger mixed together She was not getting angry because she finally met her ex-husband who betrayed her. After all she doesn’t even remember what he did that she could call betrayal. She was more concerned with keeping her kids and this man could lay claims and custody to her kids and she can’t sit and watch that happen.

“Calm down!” Mark started towards Diana and asked her to. Mark could actually imagine her plight and putting himself into her shoes , he realized what she was feeling.

“How can you just come here and make claims? What substantial proof do you have to buttress and validate your claim?” Mark shouted, he was getting intolerant of how Jake was making Diana feel. Even the three rugrats all squeezed their face in disdain.

Military officers close by where peeping and watching as the event unfolded.

Jake turned and collected some papers from Mudryk, the head his private army bodyguards.

“These file here contains our marriage certificate and our divorce certificate and our photos together. Five years ago, we got divorced and went our separate ways. For this five years I searched for her – ”

“Enough!!!!!!!!!” Diana shouted, she was getting mentally ostracized. Unable to take in everything at once. “This can’t be him!” Diana got aggressive at once but Mark restrained her holding her wrist “Exhale and inhale. Again and again and calm down!” Mark murmured to her.

When she did, she calmed her nerves down.

After, Mark collected the papers and photos and he flipped through them confirming what Jake had said earlier. With the expression written on his face, Diana got worried.

“Tell me it’s not true–” She grabbed the papers for herself and confirmed for herself and a moment of not getting a response from Mark.

“We can sort things out amicably. I only want custody of my kids and a paternity test can confirm that!”

Diana’s heart started beating fast after processing Jake’s statement. ‘No way. I can’t let this happen’ she was afraid. “What if he truly is their father?” She doesn’t remember anything from her past life. The only things she got from her past life where her children and the silver ring with the initials K. O carved on it, lifelike.

Mark was momentarily out of words. Few minutes ago, her kids kept on insisting himself was their father and now her Ex husband comes claiming he is their father.

Mark was not sure himself. He was not sure if Diana was the lady from that night either. He just kept having his suspicion and the fact that she has the silver ring dispelled some major doubts he had.

Of course, as a couple Diana had sex with Jake several times before their divorce but she was barren thus it was not expected of her to get pregnant. Then again, Mark claims he met with her at a night club house where he had sex with her as well and now Diana didn’t know what to believe even if she believed them two. Are the kids a product of the one time sex with Mark or Sex with her ex husband? It can’t even possibly be her ex-husband! “It can’t be him!” My kids are handsome and most likely a product of a celestial being and this man can’t possibly be a celestial being.

Even if her kids were for Jake, she will never let him know let alone allow him take custody of her kids.

“You’re not our father!” The kids shouted at Jake with their voices ringing out corresponding exactly.

“Yes, you’re not their father!” Diana declared.
