Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

There was a gap between the door and it’s still.

While standing by the door, they could hear someone making some noise – a noise they couldn’t quite understand – Then, they waited with Bated breaths, getting ready to catch whoever is in there and maybe use him or her as a pawn to direct them to where Flora is and they’ll get done with the rescue mission, but then a sense of bone chilling danger crept up to Oman’s, causing the hair in his neck and arms to rise and stand. His instinct had kicked in.

With no much time to waste, he kicked the door opened, his impact was so forceful that it startled the blindfolded Flora who was tied to a chair and a knife held against her throat.

As the group swamped into the large room, Otani was shocked to see his mum in such a situation. She was literally on the brink of death, and infact, handshaking death “himself”.

“Drop your weapons!” Jake ordered, he sounded super serious with his voice exuding “obey or he kills her”

Otani is here to rescue his mum and wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, thus, he signaled to his men, including Oman to drop their weapons.

The next moment, the fold, blinding Flora was removed, and she blinked for a while, adjusting to the little light that illuminated the room.

Crash! Crash!

The sound of weapons dropping on the floor was heard next – simultaneously, Oman was signalling to the groups hiding close by to be at alert but he got no response –

With the knife still held close to Flora’s throat, Jake chuckled out loudly and then dropped the bombshell.

“Fools…. Stop trying to tactically contact your men, posted around….. Don’t worry, you’ll join them in hell soon enough!”

“What? Does that mean the other groups had been neutralized?” Oman was shocked, explains why he got no response from them.

Otani was not paying attention as he was filled with sudden emotions. It’s been long he saw his mum and then he sees her after a long time, in this state?

Jake was practically going to pen Flora’s name down on a death note, that’s if Otani does any smart move.

Jake could do anything! He was quite unpredictable which made him super dangerous!

“Mum?” Otani blurted out.

“Son!!!!!” Flora said between a crying-regret tone.. as she fixated her gaze on Otani’s almost hard icy eyes.

Then a thunderous footsteps of men were heard, the next moment about a dozen men surrounded the room.

Jake gasped out loudly, still holding the knife closely to Flora’s throat, and he may slide it, if any of Otani’s men or himself make a move.

“On your knees! Four of you…. Right now!” He ordered.

Otani, Oman and the two other men can’t possibly disobey him now, so, they all knelt down. Their supposed rescue mission has gone bad.

By now, the other groups, especially the back up group ought to have come over to back them up and rescue them from the situation, but none showed up and it confirms that they’ve already kicked the bucket…. Just according to what Jake implied.

With a thud, four of them, Otani and Oman inclusively dropped to their knees with a heavy thud.

Jake smiled diabolically… He had a ruthless plan…..

Right at that moment, Flora cried out. “Please don’t kill my son!…. I can’t afford to lose him!”

“Shut up!” Jake yelled which immediately and fearfully silenced her. Jake was dangerous, and she clearly knew that. He must have figured i tried outsmarting him using the Morse code!Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Otani!!!!!…” Jake then called out to Otani who was burning in rage.

“This was a dumb mission!” He clenched his fist tightly.

Otani raised his head to meet Jake’s icy cold eyes, radiating murder and no mercy.

“Good news is… You have two options…. I’ll spare you and your remaining men or your mum and the remaining men…. but, both on their respective conditions!” Jake dragged a hefty breathe before he continued.

“I’ll spare you and your men in exchange for your mum’s head in a plate or I’ll spare your mum to keep you and Oman captive for as long as I like as long as she does whatever I ask of her…” He paused to look at him as he watched his words register in his thinking faculty.

“…. and if she makes any slight mistake or tries to outsmart me, I’ll ask my men to execute you! Which means she would lose you forever and I’m sure she doesn’t want that!” He concluded and then pulled Flora hair upward, a bit forceful that if caused to let out an agonizing cry!

“Or you want him dead?” He yelled aggressively as he pulled her hair.

Otani was like, he was assimilating the pain his mum was experiencing at the moment, still, he can’t do anything. They’ve already been outnumbered and at disadvantage.

Otani was a very irrational decision maker thus, he didn’t think about the two options more carefully. He immediately answered with the latter. He was more concerned about his mum safety than his…. and that looked out to be the best decision to him.

“Sir, no!” Oman wanted to protest aggressively and just then a guns handle landed on his head which caused him to pass out.

Jake knew beforehand Otani wouldn’t take much time in chosing the option he just did. He knew he would pick an answer out of impulsiveness. He loves his mum so much and would do anything for her, even becoming his captive.

Jake only smiled when Otani answered. His plan was going perfectly well. If he keeps Otani captive, he would be able to manipulate Flora to do his biddings and that includes to get to Mark and kill him from the inside.

But, Mark is also Flora’s son…. Would she rather do things that are detrimental to Mark simply to ensure Otani is not killed or otherwise? ? Anyways, that would be left for her to choose, then again, Jake is a smart game player; he wouldn’t let Flora discover that what he was going to make her do would be detrimental to Mark… the president general.

“Alright then! Boys, take him!” Jake ordered. His plan was going as perfectly orchestrated and there were no need, not keeping to his words.

At once, his boys kicked into action and seized Otani up and then chained him. Even Oman who was lying unconscious on the floor was still tied up and the two other men? Same thing…

Otani however was not completely foolish. He knew Marks intentions from the options he presented….. But, as far as it gets his mum out of danger, he was willing to risk it.

Maybe….

Just maybe….. Mark would figure this out… Otani thought as Flora was freed and was allowed to run away.

She was hesitant at first, she didn’t wanted to leave him behind but it was best she leaves him for the now….

Otani watched as his mum ran off speedily like she was being chased…..
