Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

It was no other person than Otani…. A Man Like None Other!

On the other hand, Otani was not so shocked. He has always knew about his big brother and for sure knows they both have a shocking resemblance!

The other person who alighted at the other side of the car soon came to view. She was Diana!

Mark felt a huge sense of relief. Finally, she is back home. The space I felt and have had few days ago would finally be filled up. “Oh thank goodness!” He felt very thankful but he had to maintain a cold face and not show his feelings and emotions surging through him. He felt like to run to her and hug her deeply, but no – he had to comport himself.

Just then, it struck him like a cord – bam!

“Why is she with the man who has a striking resemblance with me?” At this point, Mark couldn’t ignore the man’s presence. Something about his appearance was beginning to intimidate him.

“Who is he? And why is she with him? How come he has a striking resemblance with Mark?” Richarlison couldn’t help thinking and racking his brains for an answer.

Diana too, upon seeing Mark felt a surge of emotions and completion that he had not felt in a while. Not the motherly emotional completion. To be selfish, the personal emotional completion. She felt pretty good, something about Marks presence filled her with so much joy! And amusement.

She immediately walked over not being able to control the emotions skyrocketing through her entire frame and system and embraced Mark dearly. They hugged! For a couple of moments… Almost a minute.. neither of them knew it was almost a minute as they were both swamped in a different world.

It was cough from Otani that freed both of them.

“It’s good to have you back!” Mark welcomed Diana.

Diana swept her gaze at him and then to Richarlison, smiling sheepishly.

Richarlison just smiled at her.

“Oh forgive my manners! This is Otani! Mark’s little brother… Step brother to be specific….” Diana turned to Mark and introduced Otani to Mark.

Meanwhile, onlookers were at alert…. Listening closely…

For a moment, silence enveloped everyone. Stupefied by the revelation, neither Richarlison nor Mark realized they were still standing under the hot sun!

“Na na na What? Stop saying nonsense! I have no sibling or step brother, my mum never had another child….” Mark brutally cut in immediately. He felt convinced on his stand but with a little reservation. His mum had been away for years and then she comes back recently and gets kidnapped…. Could it be she had another child while she was away? But, she respected dad too much to have another child for another man. Can’t be right?

“Talking about mother… She is the reason why I’m here.. was told she was kidnapped by Benjamin! And now I’m here to get her back!” Otani for the first time, since his arrival in sterling military base spoke.

“How? How did you know Jake’s real name is Benjamin?” Mark wondered to the extent that he blurted out the question.

“Smiles… Big brother! To cut the story short… When we rescue mum, she will tell you the whole story… So, are you welcoming me or not?”

Mark at that point in time paused in his thoughts, not wanting to think much.

“So, I have a lil bro? How come my mum never told me? Damn! Well, it’s best we find out soon enough!”

“You punk! Get that mask off!” With that said, Richarlison attacked at once and was scratching Otani’s neck and face in the bid to get the mask off. He thought he was definitely wearing a plastic mask that simulated Mark’s look.

“But all to no avail! He was not putting on mask!”

Richarlison was shocked at once when Oman sent him flying with a kick.

“How dare you?” Oman’s roared!

Everyone got silent. Richarlison at that instant felt disgraced and was hot to redeem himself by avenging his grudge. Being a martial artist, his personality was twisted that way.

“Richarlison…. Stop! And provide shelter for them. Take them to the guest house and show them around!” Mark instructed at once.

Meanwhile, Richarlison was groaning internally, more like to tear Oman’s apart, but then again, he was wrong to have attacked his boss thinking he was wearing a mask. Afterall, he would do the same thing if someone attacks Mark.

“Alright sir!” With that said, he saluted.

“Follow me! And tell your men we have a parking garage. Get this piece of garbages out!” Richarlison instructed.

Oman only scoffed, he was actually referring to luxurious expensive cars as garbages? Innit!

In a jiffy, Otani and his men followed Richarlison off, but before that. Otani walked up to Mark and slipped something into his fingers…. It was the silver ring! The real one!

Now, it was only Mark and Diana left…..

Mark stood rooted in he spot when Diana suddenly realized, she has not met her kids yet.

“Where are my kids?” Shee inquired vehemently and somewhat in a worrisome manner. “I hope they’re fine?”

That kind of startled Mark that it brought him back from the land of thoughts…

“Oh yea… they’re fine! Sleeping in their room and something did happen while you were away…..” He answered truthfully at once.

“What did happened?” Diana inquired with concern as she hurried into the building… Mark found it hard to follow her fast pace, just before the stairs leading upstair, Mark dragged her arms back that she then ended up wrapped in his broad chest.

“Who is he to you? And just so you know….. A hero would sacrifice you for the greater good, I have no such compassion I would burn down this world for you and I know thousand ways to kill a man who tries to take you away from me….” Mark told her coldly. His eyes radiating a very serious aura.

“Com’on stop it! We’re not together. We’ve never been together and him, he is the father of my kids. The man I had sex with six years ago and the bombshell is … I have my memories back!” Diana immediately explained, wanting to free herself. She got terrified from his cold gaze. He is not always like this….. what has come over him? What he said… Was he actually making a confession?

In a state of mental numbness especially as resulting from shock from the revelation that Mark had just learnt. He released his firm grip on her at once with a dazed expression.

“What are you saying? I’m the father of those triplets lady. A paternity test has confirmed that and about Hannah! I found out the truth about her!”

“Oh yea Hannah, I was just going to expose her especially now I have my memories back now…. It’s really been her all the while….”

“Ouch, what did you say? A paternity test confirmed you’re the kids father huh? Stop joking around. It’s obviously fake and just like I told you. I have found out their real father! And shocking thing is, my children has always wanted me to marry their real father and he is single… So?”

Mark was short of words at that point in time….

“But?” He blurted out.

“But what? Yea, I know it explains why my kids have a striking resemblance with you!….”

“And excuse me…. I have to go meet my kids…” With that point made, Diana hurried upstair.

After she left, Mark prickled himself with the silver ring, Hoping to wake up from a terrible nightmare but no, it wasn’t even a dream. Without hesitation, he hurried upstair as well and stood outside the door and somehow, someway he started eavesdropping.

“I missed you mummy!” A little girls voice rang out excitedly.

“Mummy missed you all too!” She responded.

Mark imagined the kind of reunion between the mother and her triplet.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Diana hugging them passionately and kissing them on their forehead.

Then it started…. with Diana telling her kids she has a good news for them…
