Narrow Escape
Last week when Richarlison gave the letter that the DNA paternity test was attached, to the president general, Mark, and e ven Diana couldn’t help but wonder how Jake was able to carry out the test without the children and consent of their mother…
“It’s making more sense…. Jake is obviously the one who sent those bastards to collect strands of hair from the kids… And if he did the test using that, he obviously is their father…. But the test could be faked!”
Mark had no evidence or anything substantial to pursue the issue, thus he set up his secret military officers to monitor Jake’s move.
Diana was only very afraid that Jake was going to claim custody of her kids, but she had a silly plan….
Presently….
Hannah is in a very hot seat and it’s almost like, she is already caught red handed. Her heart contracting with sudden fear and trying all her possible best to still the pounding of her heart. She had almost succeeded in calming herself down when an impossibly familiar voice spoke to her again…
“Hannah! You’ve been caught and you were the one who replaced mum’s first aid box with another first aid box that contained the glucose injection with a paralyzing content!”
She whirled around. The little boy that spoke, Stoic was standing with her daughter- Clara – beside him, his hair lit from behind, shining like a halo around his beautiful face. Dark eyes fringed with long lashes regarded her curiously. He really has a striking resemblance with the president general.
“What nonsense?” She roared out to life… “What evidence do you have?” She immediately added.
“Don’t be too much in a hurry… We have the cctv footage….” Legacy said and grabbed for the laptop and started navigating it…
When Hannah heard that, she felt like her spirit was leaving her body. Her heart started racing further. Paralyzed with fear, she could only stare at him.
“Is she really getting Caught?” Even though her heart was breaking and instantly taking a sweeping dive inside her chest, her mind was racing as to how she can pull this off…
“Here it’s…..” Legacy found the file, and was about playing it for Richarlison who already had squinted his eyes for a proper view, then #Blank … The laptop got switched off automatically.
“It’s blank…!” Richarlison said.
Mark and Owen’s gasped when they heard that. Mark was battling with what to believe… Believe this kids or believe my wife and why does this innocent girl call her mummy?
“You see… I’m innocent! Who paid you bloody civilians to lie on me?” Hannah started, trying to pull it off her head.
Meanwhile, Legacy was trying to get back the laptop back on but all to no avail, the other three little Rugrats, Stoic, Jennifer and Clara soon joined him but it was a no success.
At long last, Mark came on board the podium angrily and ordered the two bloody civilians to be executed, but then Stoic made a thoughtful objection and proposed his idea…..,”Let them join the military whether they like it or not… But not in sterling city..”
Luckily for them, Mark agreed.
He then spoke into the microphone…..
“This case is not yet settled, a tracking device would be put into Diana and Hannah and be given their freedom. We’ll be able to monitor their moves henceforth and see who the real betrayal is, and as for this blood civilians, they will be transfered to the war zone and trained to become fighters!”.
The war zone was a military zone were bloody civilians are trained to become assassin’s.. it was a proxy to hell.
With that order in effect, Diana gained her freedom and Hannah felt a huge relief, but it was not over yet…..
“Woah..!”
Soon after, Richarlison gave a few orientations and dismissed the soldiers… Some, were however finding the judgement of the president general unsettling and quite biased. Under normal circumstances, Diana, Hannah and the blood civilians would be executed on the spot, as far as they’re prime suspect but that was not the case…..
Stoic and his siblings were not happy… How did their working laptop got switched off when they needed it the most? Except for someone tampered with it, and of a truth.. someone did!
In a jiffy, Diana was taken back home with a tracker inserted in her neck. She needed to recover
Hannah too had a tracker inserted on her kneck…
Mark wore a grin, ‘Keep your enemies closer….’ he needed to be sure.
Richarlison on the other hand just needed a jolt to confirm the suspicion he has on Hannah. Before now, he had already started to suspect her.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
And about Clara, Mark ordered some officers to take her back home. Clara, however was still finding it hard to believe her mum wound deny her but the harsh reality was that she did.
Mark deemed it fit to do a background search on the little girl, thus he set some officers to do the work and report to him. He was no fool to let a big matter like that die and also, about the video. .. why would the god of War of mega city agree to have a meeting with a fake Diana? And even let themselves get recorded?
****
Back at Diana’s abode… The three little Rugrats figured out the their laptop was tampered with, but was yet to figure out who did.
The most important thing was that their mother was back home and safe…
“Woah … A Narrow Escape!” Hannah exclaimed as she darted into her large, tiled bathroom to freshen up. She deliberately spent some time there, reporting to Jake via sms what had happened today and about Clara finding out about her and even about her denying her.
She then sat on the floor of the bathroom, her back against the tile of the tub, her legs stretched out in front of her. She had cleaned the sweats from her face and body, and rinsed her hair in the sink. She was wearing a ceremonial dress, rucked up to her thighs, and the tiled floor was cold against her bare feet and calves….

The Triads imperial lord had by this time sent a letter to Mark, inviting him over for a meeting they said ….
