Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Presently, Diana had just arrived before Otani’s Mansion with her entourage – fleets of military Hilux – . The mansion’s gateman suddenly got alerted when he saw them, he was on duty. Immediately he placed a call over to the head security of the mansion.

As Diana got down from the military G-Wagon a thunderous fury of footsteps erupted. The head security and about seven security men arrived with electrified batons in thier hands.

Diana just smiled. This security men were no match for her battalion of Soldiers.

“Soldiers!” The lieutenant colonel called out, immediately he stepped down after Diana.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Once every soldier stood at an attention and matches their foots to the ground, causing a revoking sound alongside the “Yes sir!..”, they all echoed in unison.

The head security was confused…..” Why would soldiers come here by this time??.. Otani was not the type that offends the government let alone the military. What would or could possibly warrant this visit?” He thought.

“Why are you here!”, The head security inquired as Diana and the lieutenant colonel got closer, the gate still unopened. The head security had nothing to fear. He knew his fundamental human right and had done nothing wrong to violate by this military.

“We want an urgent talk with Mr Otani!….”, The lieutenant colonel responded.

“It’s late!. Go back home and come another day!”, The head security said in the bid to dismiss them. He had some guts indeed! To be able to confidently exchange words with a lieutenant colonel.

“Boys!… Match this gate down!”, With that said about ten of his men, happened to be the most burly among the hundreds of soldiers stepped forward. They were almost ready to break the gate down!

Seeing the action and seriousness that the lieutenant colonel was imposing. The head security could not help and neither can him and his boys stop them, so he had no other option but to apologize, even though it was to his own detriment. “Otani never tolerated extemporaneous visits and he should be asleep by now, I’d be causing trouble for myself if I go wake up him up”, however, the head security still had to.

“Okay. You don’t need to cause any violence!.. I’ll go inform my boss!”

“Gate man!, Let them in…”, He added. Otani had forbidden him not to let anyone in, let alone this cold night. He’d sure be angry some soldiers are here to have a talk with him.

“Good!..”, the lieutenant colonel felt satisfied with the way the head security just behaved and he stopped his men from breaking down the gate. Then the gate man opened the gate and he let them in.

Diana, the lieutenant colonel and few other officers walked in while the others waited outside. Behind them were the seven security men each holding electrified batons and the head security in front. He was the one leading the way.

Soon after, they arrived at the visitors room in the mansion. The luxury and ornament were breath taking. But, that was not the reason why they had come here. Diana was here to retrieve her property from Otani, that Felicity sold to him without her knowledge.

“Wait some minutes… My boss would meet with you shortly..”, The head security said and then started to climb up using the stairs. When he got to Otani’s room, he knocked gently and as expected, Otani replied brusquely and coldly immediately. “What?”,

He seemed not to be asleep already. Good then!.

“A lieutenant colonel and his boys are here. They said they want to have a talk with you!”, The head security explained.

“Okay!”, Will be with you shortly. Otani responded and then closed his laptop. He was researching on a lady from six years ago. He felt guilt for what he did to her and as such the guilt wouldn’t grant him peace of mind, thus he was actively searching for her to make amends and have peace of mind.

Few moments later, Otani came down stairs. He was wearing his night wears and it accentuated his handsomeness the more. When Diana saw him, she was shocked. She expected Otani to be in his 50’s but surprisingly he looked young in his 30’s. What was even more surprising was the fact that this man had a striking resemblance with the president general and if care is not taken, one would misconceive him for Mark. In turn, her triplets has a striking resemblance with him and jennifer’s had same amber eyes as him.

“Why? How is this possible? Is this not a coincidence?”

“Good evening!,” Otani greeted after he swept his gaze all over the men seated in this visitors chair in the sitting room. He was surprised to see a lady amidst them.

Silence enveloped the room for a while… The lieutenant colonel and his boys were not here for any peace negotiation. They wanted to use authority, thus they didn’t respond. Only Diana greeted back warmly with a bitter confused expression.

“Good evening!..,” she then chuckled trying to fathom how reasonable it’s or why and how the coincidence is real, that Otani looks like the president general and her kids in turn has a resemblance with him.

“What brings you here to my abode?,” Otani inquired immediately he sat down. He didn’t looked like a man of trouble. He looked carefree from the way he cheerfully talked and greeted despite being extraordinarily wealthy antique collector.

“We’re here for the silver ring with the initials K. O carved on it!,” Diana quickly stated her reasons.

“My friend, Felicity stole it from me and sod it to you! I’m willing to even buy it from you!..” Diana added confidently. Mark had given her access to his bank account reigning in billions, peradventure a need for cash arises.

Otani just smiled… the smiling eventually turned to chuckling and gradually to a laugher and it angered the lieutenant colonel that he was mocking them.

“We’re not here to crack jokes!” The lieutenant colonel said and almost immediately Otani stopped chuckling.

“How is that my business?… You go meet who stole it from you…. I’m only an antique collector and I don’t do refunds!,” Otani responded, this time he sounded serious… not feeling intimidated by the presence of the lieutenant colonel.

Diana furrowed her eye brows. “What?” She blurted out. Otani sounded just like Mark. Almost similar tone and she felt like if they were twins.

“Yes! I have the ring but what makes you think I’d release it… I don’t know you and as far as I’m concerned the silver ring belongs to me!,” Otani was quick to discern that before they could come to his place. They must have found out he has the silver ring indeed! How else? If not Felicity told them…. She breached the business rule!

“You’ll be forcing us to take it by force! You have two days to think of a price in exchange of the silver ring… Or else!!!!!!”

“Or else what?!,” The head security was the one who shut the lieutenant colonel off this time around. He didn’t like his boss being threatened when he is charge of protecting him.

“You won’t like the outcome!,” The lieutenant colonel asserted and then stood up all of a sudden. His men stood up as well and followed his footsteps outside. The president general had told the lieutenant colonel in charge of the battalion to at all cost retrieve the ring and he was hell bent in doing that in order for him to be promoted as promised.

Now, only Diana was left inside with the head security and Otani. The lieutenant colonel and his boys felt a need to wait outside until she comes outside.

“Excuse me sir….. Are you the president generals brother or twin brother?,” Diana heard herself asked the question. She couldn’t help but clear her mind of unecessary thought by just asking the simple question.
