Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Otani is naturally carefree and a straight forward person. Thus be responded without hesitation.

“If you’re talking about Mark, the president general… Yes! He is my senior brother! Step brother specifically!.” Otani responded.

“Now, please leave…. And have in mind I won’t release the silver Ring. It’s now my most precious antique and I won’t trade if for anything…” Otani added with a blank expression…

“Does Mark know about you?,” Diana inquired further. She had not in anyway or anywhere learnt the president general has a step brother, except for someone like a brother and that was Jake Bernard. Her ex husband and allegedly the father of her triplets.

“No, he doesn’t… Our mother Flora birthed me while she was working as an army medical in the mercenaries district. She had birthed Mark four years earlier….. I’m not sure she could have told him that!”..

“I’m not sure of that either!…” Diana pressed in. She sounded resigned. “This s a shocking revelation….. And it explains why he has a lot in common with Mark!… But why does her own children have a resemblance with a man other than their father: Jake?

“Why are you asking? Who are you to him?…

Diana didn’t know how she could explain the kind of relationship that Subsist between her and the president general thus she just brought something up…

“Friends….! Yea…. Really close friends!”..

“Okay then .. my mum went to Sterling City few weeks back and since then I haven’t heard from her… Is she safe with my brother?” Otani inquired himself. He had oftentimes got worried why his mum hadn’t reached out to him for quite a while now.

“You do know that you have a striking resemblance with Mark right?…. And -” Diana hummed before she continued. “Your mum is missing. She is allegedly kidnapped!.” Diana opened up. It was wise to inform him that his mother had been kidnapped. If indeed, he was her son, his reaction would say it all.

“Kidnapped? By who? How? Damn it! I should not have trusted Mark with her protection!….”, Otani clenched his fist tightly. Finally, a reason his mum hadn’t called to check up on him and a reason her phone wasn’t going through each time he dialed her telephone number.

Diana studied him carefully and her only deduction led straight to the fact he is actually his mother’s child.

“Oman!” He called out.

The head security standing behind him responded, “Yes sir!..”

“We leave for Sterling City first thing tomorrow morning.. All schedules are cancelled!…!,” Otani ordered at once. Feeling pissed already.

Although he had been angry with his mum for not telling him who his father was he still felt the emotions arise. His mum probably would be in a deep trouble by now!

“Thanks….. uhmmm…”, Otani then realized he didn’t know her name….

“I’m Otani and you’re –?”

“Diana!….” She responded.

“How about the ring? I need it! Mark needs it!” Diana pleaded as she stood up.

“Don’t worry…. I have a private jet! Do you mind joining me tomorrow morning? I think it’s high time I reveal myself to my brother and perhaps I could get to know my dad from there…..”

It took Diana some minutes before she could respond…..” I’ll inform you tomorrow morning. I have you card, your phone number is printed on it!”

“Oh, alright then!… Goodnight!”, With that said, Otani hurried upstair at once.

Diana herself had started to exit when she slipped and fell! She landed her head on the floor hard and a whizzing sound echoed through her entire frame. Even Oman was not fast enough to stop her from falling.

When the lieutenant colonel and his boys heard the loud thud like someone fell, they rushed in hurriedly thinking Diana was in trouble. In a way she was, but not the way they thought it to be. She just slipped and fell. She was groaning from an excruciating headache..

This time, Oman had helped her up into a sitting position. She was screaming……. like something affected her head.

The lieutenant colonel got alarmed…”Keep calm’ he urged.

Diana’s memories were finally coming back to her… like a speed of lightening.. she remembers everything now! Just that they were not accurate and very solid!

The memories that have been blocked away from her conscious mind due to the accident from six years ago were finally returning….. memories she might have lost, what experiences she’d had that she couldn’t now recall. Or maybe everything she thought she did remember was a lie …?

She sat up, no longer able to bear where her thoughts were taking her as she stopped screaming!

Her screaming had alerted and startled Otani as well that he rushed back, downstairs….

“What happened?…” Otani inquired as Diana managed to shrug the pains off and stood up.

She looked deep into Otani’s eyes…. In those eyes she could see the man she had sex with six years ago, the sex that blessed her with triplets. Oman was the man!

All her memories were back… Just that the memories of the event that happened before she got into the accident was a lie. The memory of who she had sex with!

“Jake is not the father of my kids!

Otani is! ” Her memory spoke to her. Afterall her memory can’t possibly be deceiving her. To her, everything was a legit truth now!

No wonder her kids has a resemblance with Mark. I nearly thought he was the man because of the resemblance. Turns out it’s his stepbrother.

As tears welled up in her eyes, she walked over to Otani…. before him, and she asked the question.

“Do you remember that night? That night….. from six years ago? At Sterling City?

Otani hovered to what happened six years ago. He was drunk and he raped a girl at a club party. Is she the girl? It can’t be her right? She had spend many years searching for her and she was the one he was researching on when Oman came to inform him that some soldiers were here to see and talk to him.

“Yes, I do but……”

****************

Note: I refered to Jake as Mark’s step brother but in fact, he is the son of those parents that abducted Mark. And now Otani is his actual step brother!

The next morning at Sterling City…

Jennifer got discharged. Richarlison brought her home to the president Generals Villa. Her brothers as well had been discharged and their three were now in a good health.

Mark finally realized he had a soft spot for this Triplet since he discovered with the help of the paternity test result that they were his children.

**********

Note: I referred to Owen’s as his grandpa while in fact, Owen’s was Jake’s biological father’s father. As Mark grew up with them, natural he referred to Jake as stepbrother and Owens as granpa.

**********

Jennifer walked up to Mark while he was outside the villa, he was feeling the air and reeling on the thoughts that his granpa was no more.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Jennifer’s petite face was so beautiful and adoring as she walked up to Mark. When Mark saw her, he felt a sense of joy and happiness arouse within him. He can’t wait to inform Diana.

“Jennifer!!,” He called and then carried her in his arms.

“Daddy!…” She called him daddy once more. Mark felt happy. He didn’t dismiss her for calling him daddy this time around, unlike before, he would normally sound harsh. Now a bright smile appeared on his face.

“You seem really happy and excited today despite loosing your grandpa yesterday… And Daddy… I’m sorry for your loss!”

“Don’t worry sweetheart.. I’ll get over it! How are you feeling now?,” Mark spoke softly wanting to grow more fond of her daughter.

“I’m getting better and better….,” Jenni responded as she smiled while dragging her father’s nose. Then it hit her… and her mood deflated at once….”When is mummy returning?…”

Mark hummed…. “She will be home soon okay? Let’s go have breakfast!”

With that said, Jennifer felt comforted and she nodded. Still in Marks hand, he carried him inside and soon after Stoic and Legacy joined them. The both of them were happy, especially now that their father was accepting them.
