Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Its been eight good hours that she had been restlessly waiting for a feedback from either Richarlison or president general as regards to her kids but no feedback yet and this made her mind to be very heavy, her heart started to thumb the more, she desperately needed to see her kids, she doesn’t know what state or condition they might be subjected to at the moment. Question continually buzzed into her head that she sprang up the bed and started to pace the room forth and back.

Her heart became very sour. She felt a sudden pain in her heart, and realized with a jolt what it was. She was missing her kids so dearly -missing Stoic, Legacy and Jennifer… As they had been.

Then she decided to pick up her phone and call Mark and check how far they’ve gone but each time she tried calling, she would end up not dialing. In a way she was being scared of him.

She walked towards the corner of the room and with a force exerted at a particular spot, another spot opened and she dipped her hands into the ground through the opened spot and picked out a box. She opened it and brought out the silver ring with the initials K. O carved on it. It was shiny – it was all the pieces of what she remembers. She held in herself the hopes and fears of those who love her. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.

With the ring now on worn on her forefinger she summoned the courage to place a call over to Mark. She had obviously gained and replenished all her strength.

In the living room sat an enormous circular table surrounded by five high-backed wooden chairs. Richarlison, sliding into a chair. It was surprisingly comfortable. “Back to business….” He said and then tapped on table by the side and a screen displayed. The table was like a computer system on its own.

Mark, folding his phone, approached the table with a puzzled look. “What’s going on?”

“We seem to be trapped in an episode of no clue,” Richarlison observed. “the officers are highly skilled not to have left a clue.”

Mark flicked a strand of hair out of his eyes. “Uhmmm…. Richarlison, I’d like you to come with me, I think I know where the kids might be…..”

Richarlison wondered where? Does he know something I don’t?

“Right now!” Mark said, Before Richarlison could respond Marks phone rang, he dug it out of his pocket and flipped it open; it was Diana. “I know where they’re….,” he said, before she could say hello.

“Okay, please bring them home…” she said, her voice crackling down the line. She was probably calling from somewhere, where the reception wasn’t great. Mark thought, “I’ll… Don’t worry! And ensure not to leave the building..” Mark said and assured her and then ended the call.

The next moment, Diana was putting on her military gears. Just after the call ended a message arrived in her phone and it’s sender was unknown, the message read, “If you want your kids alive… Meet us at Aliko Bay, the mansion at the top of the mountain with the passcode NGC207”. That jolted Diana. “Mark had just said he knows where they’re? Was he giving her a fake assurance? But nonetheless, she agreed to meet the senders at the place she was told to. She was warned not to divulge any information else her kids die a painful death!. Diana didn’t want any harm to get to her kids thus she was willing to obliged, diamonding the consequences. It’s her Triplets they’re talking about.

There were some officers posted at the buildings entrance to ensure she doesn’t leaves the house, thus she exited the building using the window where no one would notice her.

In matter of time, despite the warning given to her by Mark, she arrived at Aliko Bay and used the passcode she was given and now she was standing alone in an isolated garden at the address she was sent. She glanced over the area and the vicinity hoping to see her kids soon enough, she was now becoming tensed.

Then a man came into view, he was burly and his muscles and chest puffed out like a regular muscle trainer. He was very massive and looked strong. Diana was frightened at first but with the little defense skills she had learnt, she thought she could use to defend herself against him and then again the one who sent her the sms messages said someone would appear to take her to her kids, thence, Diana concluded the someone should be this figure approaching her majestically.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Jake- the mastermind had already did a thorough check in the vicinity and was sure that Diana came alone and that she brought no one with her …….

Now, the burly man was standing right in front of her…. “Look at your kids!” He said with his manly voice pointing to Diana’s side. Diana by this time was standing right in front of him and when she heard him say her kids are over there, she immediately turned at the direction the burly man was pointing at but then an handkerchief, the burly man sprayed with some stuffs he said he got from Jake’s lab, over Diana’s nose knocked her out the moment, the burly man pressed the handkerchief over her nose swiftly.

Meanwhile, Mark and Richarlison had stormed Jake’s Bernard compound but the whole compound seemed to have been abandoned for over a week now. There were no single soul present in the mansion.

“He must have been laying out this plans for such a long time…” Mark said, tightly, he clenched his fist. His eyes radiating an intense aura, he had so many questions for Jake concerning Hannah, the little girl Clara and also about Diana and her triplets…. The whole connection!

Meantime, an officer who per hour goes to Diana’s room to check up on her has risen an alarm when she couldn’t find her anywhere in the building. The past hour, she went to check up on her but couldn’t find her, so she raised an alarm immediately for the search of Diana and obviously she was nowhere in the military base and this prompted the grandwar masters to inform Mark immediately.

When Mark phone rang, he fished it out of his pocket and stared at the screen, it was a grandwar master calling him…. But why? He answered it, “Diana is missing!” The voice at the other end spoke. It was cold and serious!

“What?” Mark exclaimed and that startled Richarlison.

“What’s it sir?” Richarlison inquired.

Mark dropped the phone and responded, “Diana is missing!”
