Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

As soon as Mark exited the building he remembered the discussion he had with his mum the last week and every fibre of evidence pointed to the fact that his father might still be alive. Probably held captive in some prison somewhere.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

As he was walking out, Richarlison walked up to him. He had instructed Richarlison to wait for him outside here as he didn’t plan on staying inside for long.

“Boss!” Richarlison greeted. Despite the business relationship they had as boss and worker they had come to a point as close friends and they both talked like friends but however, that was seasonal.

He didn’t get a respond from him as he was obviously lost in thought. He noticed the slight change on his boss face. His usual upstage expression looked like it is been troubled.

“Boss!” Richarlison called out to him again, but this time, a bit louder.

It jolted him out of his thoughts.

“Oh.. sorry, I was absent minded!” He explained.

“You look worried. I hope all is well?” Richarlison inquired, staring deep into his cold eyes. His eyes that were and are usually devoid of a single tears were suddenly welling up in tears. Seems the usually strong man is weak now, being strong for too long is an explanation.

Before Richarlison could say another thing, Mark hugged him passionately and fiercely before letting him go, he needed a shoulder to cry on.

“Guy, afa. What’s wrong?” Richarlison asked again.

“I have been seeing my mum recently and with what she ha drugged out so far points to the fact that my dad might actually still be alive”.

Mark looked closely at the way Richarlison facial expression changed. He thought it changed because prolly Richarlison is wondering which father and mum himself is pertaining to.

To clear the air, he added, “My biological father!”

“No!. He is not!” Richarlison responded after a moment of silence.

Mark was surprised. “What do you mean by he is not? Do you know him?” He asked.

“Yes. This might sound shocking, but it’s the truth! Your father was my fellow comrade as a mercenary and my superior for that matter. He died in battle trying to protect us, me specifically and that was why I vowed to return the favour by protecting his only child – son – as his enemy may come striking at him”. Richarlison tool time and explained to Mark who was dumbstruck and finding it hard to believe.

Mark stood where he was frozen. Meanwhile Diana was watching through the window, her bedroom was just upstair. She was to a score watch Mark leave but now, she sees him frozened to a spot, probably from a revelation or what Richarlison told him. She wondered what it must have been.

Mark wondered if he imagined the revelation but he didn’t. Astonishment is on his face. It was rare that anything surprised him, rarer that anyone snuck up on him. His voice flat….

“How can I believe you?”

“Follow me!” Richarlison said. In a jiffy they started on foot obviously towards the VIP ward… The surrounding was still swimming with soldiers doing their night jogging. The atmosphere was lively.

Mark now realized it was not just about loyalty that Richarlison protects him with his life.

All along, with all in all Stoic and his brother’s were working on figuring out who the fuck had the audacity and guts to tamper with their laptop. “He must have some nerves to have done that…”

They had no clue yet, except for his foot print. He entered, sneaked in through the window. He left no trace behind, obviously a very skilled IT expert can do that. Each time the laptop is went back on and starts functioning, if one tries to open the file that contains the ccvt footage of Hannah replacing Diana’s first aid box with a new alike one, the laptop will automatically shut down by itself. Only an expert IT computer wizard can program it and it was hard to deprogramme.

All over the whole time, Jake was monitoring their moves secretly and he was the one who sent Felix, the IT guy, A. K. A computer wizard and one of the G-5 private military army he hired to alter their computer. Felix have heard and saw what the children were capable of thus, he didn’t delete the file, rather programmed that way. A way that if one attempt to open or share it, the laptop automatically gets shut down. He purposely programmed it that way with the curiosity of, I’ll confirm the kids are extraordinarily good if they can deprogramme it. So, in other words, he did it that way to test the children’s capabilities.

However, the next day. Stoic and his siblings took time and told their mother the kind of connection Hannah has with her and with her ex husband.

“She is the one Jake cheated with, on you and she got pregnant and had Clara, my friend!” Stoic explained truthfully. Although Diana does not remember everything, she was still however able to connect the dot, what surprised her was the way Hannah denied her own daughter …”but why would she? Something bigger must be at stake since she did that!” She thought and urged her kids to find out what it’s that is at bigger stake. Her children however, didn’t not plan on stopping by the roadside and not getting to their destination, they were hell bent in finding out. The sudden urging would only accelerate their promptness in finding out what it’s.

Of a truth, right from start and the beginning… Hannah’s presence never went down comfortably with her, she felt something was weird and odd about her and now it seems the blurred info is gradually getting to be clear. Even, Richarlison on the other hand has been monitoring her secretly because he didn’t trust her as well.

As the court Day approaches, Diana’s heart became more and more troubled, although it ought to have been alleviated or disbursed off because of the deal she has with the president general, she still was troubled and that made her hire Clancy, one of the best lawyer of Sterling City and has won several cases and even defended a notorious criminal and saved his ass even at the face of evidence. She can actually make a real gun a toy gun, however, it was still skeptical since nothing is guaranteed in courts.

When Mark heard and learnt she hired Clancy, it reminded him of the day he left her at the wedding alter simply because Kelly Owens, his grandpa disagreed to the marriage being hold. It was that day, Kelly Owens told him about the girl with an overlapping circle in her thighs. Charity Wakins granddaughter, his betrothed.

He was about 27 years old then. It was sudden yea! But he had to obey Owens in order to secure the president Generals seat, which he did. Mark and Clancy both loved each other. Mark hurt her deeply that day. Ever since then, Clancy had shut herself out of relationship and decided to stay single to avoid getting hurt again. She hated men and called men scum! Monsters!

Imagine the pain of actually getting abandoned at the alter….

Clearly that day, she closed her eyes patiently waiting for him to kiss her as the minister declared, but surprisingly boom! He left her. He was gone. He walked out on her. He was even stubborn, despite Owens beforehand disagreement: he changed mind as die seconds.

Clancy became a laughing stock, but now she is a powerful wealthy lawyer who doesn’t give a fuck about men’s existence!. Diana didn’t know of any of that.
