Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Coincidentally



Jake was momentarily stunned. When he regained his senses, he guffawed out loud.

“What a coincidence. Isn’t that Diana?” He directed the question towards the president general.

“Uhmmmm ..” Mark tried to remember her name when he realized he hadn’t known his name all the whole while. “I don’t even know her name. She is an army medical!” He added.

“Ohhhhh”

“Yea! Back to why you’re here. You can have your seat now” Mark responded and gestured for him to sit at once.

“Good afternoon President General ” Jake greeted after gaining back his composure. He stepped forward and sat down, he gave Mark a very look that radiated a murderous intent tainted with mischief. He shot him an icy glare when Mark grabbed for his jacket. ‘This bastard!” Jake said to himself. Rage, anger and pain mixed into one thing erupted within him at once. All his life, he had been strategizing on how to get close to this figure before him and cut his heads off.

“Back to business!” Mark sat and shifted some documents towards Jake.

“Sign those papers then we proceed into the ex-servicemen room for you to pick your five of your choice from the well trained ten!” Mark added explaining. He didn’t know Jake Bernard too well. If was his first time meeting him.

“Okay!” Jake responded with a cold icy voice, he gave Mark a contemptuous smile the glanced at the documents before him.

The pen was on top of the documents, in a jiffy. He signed the documents immediately.

“Shall we?” Mark stood up with the intents of leading the way towards the ex-servicemen ward.

“Yea sure!”

Sooner, they were on their way towards the ex-servicemen ward.

Halfway through the journey, Marks phone rang and he lagged behind to answer the call. It was from Richarlison, his personal body guard.

“Yes!” He said in a blunt direct manner.

“Bad news boss! Danny is reportedly missing!” The voice at the other end spoke.

“What? Deploy your boys to find him immediately! How can he be missing?” Mark ended the call at once.

Jake who was about some feet’s away from Mark, Smiled. His plan was going perfectly well as planned. He had a a very sharp auditory sense that he was able to overhear the phone call Mark had just made.

“Anything the problem?” He asked pretentiously like he cared when Marks facial expression indicated worrying.

“Nothing, let’s proceed!” Mark managed to wave the emotions swelling up inside him off.

“Okay!” Jake said, giving Mark a condescending Scornful look.

Now they were walking towards the ex-servicemen ward, Mark at the front when Jake shot a ray of light into Marks body with a flick of his fingers. Mark was visibly jolted for a fleeting moment. However, he didn’t think too much of it as he carried on with his steps.

In a split of seconds, they entered into the large room where the ex-servicemen were. The ten ex-servicemen were ranging about 6ft 1-3inches tall. All having a intimidating presence and power in abundance.

They were on their military uniform made of khaki fabric, and army coloured leather military boots.

They standing at an attention, with their chest puffed out. One could actually see their six packs and their muscles gathered for protruding fullness. Some had tattoo covering their hands while some didn’t.

Salute!!! The ten men raised their left legs in unison and they marched it into the floor. The sound of boots marching the floor at the same time produced a particular auditory effect produced by a thunder, except for that the intensity of the latter was more.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Like the outpouring of wind as if the atmosphere had suddenly turned cold and dark, Two figures emerged, the most visible was Jake. He looked even more intimidating than the ex-servicemen.

“Pick any five from the ten! They’re all well trained. They’re the Cobra Night Team that apprehended the boko haram that terrorized a western African country”

Boko Haram was a name given to the terrorist that terrorized a western African country. Known for thur notoriety and deadlines. Only the Cobra team comprising of ten soldiers apprehended the terrorist squad ‘Boko Haram’

Jake started towards the soldiers still standing at an attention. Five of them he had already met with, the previous week. He had paid a visit to five of them and had made them his alliance by offering them an offer they can’t even think of rejecting. Their duty was just for them to be loyal to him to the core and protect him. Even before coming here, he already know who he was picking.

He pointed at Mudryk, who happened to be the squads leader. “I pick him!”

Mudryk, freed himself and took a step forward.

“He is a grade one fighter! Best killer on planet earth. Fighting skills in a scale of 1-10 was 8. Perfect vision and sufficiently fast in combat!”

“And him!” He pointed at Felix, the IT guy. He could hack the unhackable and trace the untraceable. He stepped forward too. Followed by Samson, the distraction instrument, kylian and Lionel followed suite. They were relatively good in combat as well. Kylian was super good with his sniper and Lionel as an ex monk, was 9/10 in martial art.

“Alright, you all know your duties, visit the grandwar masters for your orientation and assignments!” Mark ordered and dismissed the soldiers.

Jake just gave an evil smile before he shook hands with Marks and exited the military base.

His private army was to resume work the next day.

“He needs a private army for protection yet, he still moves alone? That’s weird!” Mark said to himself as he watched Jake car disappeared into the thin air.

While Jake was driving his car off the base, his mind flashed back to whom he barged into him earlier at Marks office. “Wasn’t she Diana? Why does she look like her? Or maybe she is? What’s she doing in the military base? And I thought she was missing? Has she been discovered? I need to do some findings!

Meanwhile, Diana was back at the military hospital ward and was now attending to her patient. She was not however 100% focused, the image of the man she ran into at the president generals office kept titillating her memory. She didn’t understand why the images of the man kept reoccurring in her seat of thought. Anyone she saw, she would think it was the same man. Her mind was getting troubled at this point in time. Somethings kept flickering in her faulty memory bank, she started to feel pains and aches. From somewhere in the depths of her mind she recalled images of fruit trees and glasshouses with grapes, melons and peaches.

She had no memory of the man to whom she had once committed her heart and life. The man to whom she’d made sacred vows, the man who cheated on her with his childhood friend and extorted all of her wealth and then, to her mortification and shame, had apparently found reason to break them. She was between unconsciousness and apparently delirium when her alarm started ringing which reminded her of her kids and a reason to live. A minute later she regained her consciousness fully. “Time to go pick up her kids from school!”

She sat for a while before she gathered strength to move. She wasn’t sure how she was feeling already. Strong? Physically and mentally or it’s more mental?

Her mind again flashed back to when Mark said she should bring her kids alongside her to the VIP ward. There was seriousness in his face. “Could he really be the father of my kids?”
