Kids In Action
Owens offered to take care of the kids and they didn’t disagree. Owens was extremely surprised at how the children still managed to kept thier calm, even a grown up adults would be worried with fear that his or her mother is put into some dungeons and would be tortured to bring out the truth, that is if there is any.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Once they arrived at the president general ward, they walked right inside, with Owens leading the way. They were filled with bits of worry but their face wouldn’t show that, their mum probably going to get executed if found guilty before thousands of soldiers was definitely not a good feeling at all. Their mum was and is their first love and they can’t afford to lose their mum at a very young age. They were barely five!
They were however surprised to see Mark seated in the living room, his suits were of by this time. “He should be upstair with his wife!”
Mark turned his icy gaze at the three little Rugrats and Owens. One need not be a genius to actually discern he was buried in thought “Diana actually betrayed me? Is working with the enemy? Wants me dead? The evidence is clear! Should I give her some time to prove her innocence if indeed she is innocent?
The three little Rugrats fixated their gaze also on his icy eyes with a stern look.
“Daddy, how could you put mum into some dungeon? She is obviously innocent don’t you think?” Jennifer broke the silence.
Mark wondered why this little girl would not stop calling him dad.. he was soon interrupted when Legacy spoke.
“That video is fake! Give us some time and I will detect the editing if there is or prove that lady in that video is not mummy!”
“How come I didn’t think of that? Videos could be edited to fit our desires? Could it be she is really being set up? But why would two well built bloody civilians confess she sent them when they know they will definitely get executed?” With that last thought Mark came back to reality. “She will pay!”
Owens was surprised. Five year old children conversing and thinking like adults? Then he spoke with aging voice.
“And about giving you kids some time…. I think you should give them a week for them to prove their mum’s innocence, after all she has the right to plead not guilty.”
Mark turned to look at him and nodded. “Just one week!” He said. He very well understood the point Owen’s was making. On the other hand, Owens was very much concerned about how the kids would go about that…. What can they really do?
Stoic frowned, “I won’t tell mum to forgive you, when you start to beg for her forgiveness… You even got married to someone who had a daughter for mum’s ex husband who is claiming to be our father!”
“Wh…. Wha .. what the hell are you saying?” Mark was dumbstruck. “Does Hannah have a child already? A child for Jake Bernard? Unbelievable!”
Hannah was coming downstairs and she clearly overhead what one little boy just said. Her heart skipped a bit and she halted by her step and leaned to listen closer. She didn’t even expect that in her widest imagination a truth she is trying her best to keep away getting revealed. She then felt Mark’s face. “I hope he doesn’t believe that …”
“Yes, you heard big brother right…. Clara is their daughters name!” Jennifer responded.
“….. and she is even Stoic’s coursemate” she added.
Mark had not for any reason did any true back ground check on Hannah. He trusted Danny, his now missing childhood friend. Mark gave Danny the assignment to search for the girl with overlapping circles in her thighs and is Charity Wakins granddaughter, not long ago, he found her but went missing…
How did she suddenly connect with Diana’s ex-husband an even got pregnant and had a daughter for him? Mark was filled with so many thoughts at the moment yet his looks remained blanked and expressionless.
“Jake Bernard cheated on mum with Hannah and that was why mum filed for divorce and due to the nature of her marriage with him, she lost everything being the wealthiest!” Stoic explained.
“Jake Bernard took all of mum’s wealth and even Diana’s oil company now Jake’s oil company!” Legacy added.
Owens was shocked about this unveiling. He sat to listen carefully.
It was hard to believe for Mark, he shouted “Hannah!!!!!” The loudness of his voice was enough that even somewhere upstairs would hear.
Hannah on the other hand who was eavesdropping was startled when she heard her name, her heart skipped fearfully.. It took her some moment to respond and started walking downstairs with an intense pathetic face to cover up her true expressions.
Once she was before Mark. Mark stated “Stoic, re state what you told me earlier!”
Stoic re-explained more extensively this time around, leaving no stone unturned.
“You have heard what the kids have said and it has casted a doubted in me! What do you have to say?” Mark asked Hannah.
With a fidgeting tone, Hannah answered.
“I was never pregnant for Jake. Yes I knew him but that was since college school! And I don’t have a daughter!”
“Wow! What kind of mother are you? A mother that denies her own daughter? Who then is Clara? The girl with same blonde hair as yours?” Stoic frowned at Hannah lies.
Mark didn’t know what to believe, he was even more filled with thought.
“Why didn’t you tell me all about this?” Mark turned to ask Hannah.
Hannah quickly responded, “Because you never wanted to get to know me more personally… You only want to marry me because I’m betrothed to you by your godfather” She immediately started to sob wearing an intense pathetic face. She turned to look at Owen’s, “I should never have agreed to this marriage. Your son doesn’t love me! He doesn’t even trust me.. he is chosing to believe this small kids over me!” With that said, her sob intensified and she ran off upstair. Once she was upstairs, she sighed gracefully, “Woah, that was very close!”
Mark didn’t call her back, he was dispersed himself.
Owens on the other hand started to felt pity for Hannah, her act was so good that one could easily fall for it and start assuming and feeling her plight.
Owens walked out as well.
“You have three weeks!” Mark said, pointing at the three little kids.
“I’ll ask Richarlison to bring your clothes over.. you can occupy the room opposite mine!” Mark added and walked out.
Stoic, Mark, Legacy stood there surprised. They never expected this turn of tables, but it already turned and they have to improvise another way to prove their mum’s innocence.
As Mark got out of the building, Richarlison approached him and gave him a sealed letter. He was pretty way anxious as he opened the letter, racking his brain as to what it may contain.
“It is for Diana, but she is in the dungeon now, so I thought to bring it to you!” Richarlison explained as Mark opened the letter.
Maybe it’s from her alliance and if it’s, it’d be another evidence to intensify her guiltiness.
