Se connecterThe entire Delta Military Base was on high alert.
Thousands of soldiers of the Delta City military army aligned themselves into neat rows according to their ranks, at the Delta city military airport. Each of them was dressed in complete military gears.However, every one of them fixated their gaze on the military aircrafts, not daring to take their obsequiously complimentary eyes away from the aircrafts, especially the first one that landed.A sense of intense eagerness and anticipation filled the air, tagging along was a sense of hope. Many of the soldiers had managed to grasp a silver of hope on winning the war , since they were getting support.First, the fifty men platoon of united City military war officers made their way down the second aircrafts stairs. They radiated war. Their body emanating murder, their eyes glinting with the blood of conquered enemies. Afterwards, the fifteen men platoon of medical military officers followed suit, but from the first military aircraft that had landed. They were all women as expected. The military medical department has 98% women and just 2% men.Still, General Laura was definitely not yet in sight. Everyone thought and still thinks she was still inside any of the two military aircrafts that had landed. They still stood at an attention hoping for her to step out and walk down the stairs.However, General Derrick suddenly frowned his face after waiting for another minute. This time around, he angrily left, with his adjutant general following him behind closely. "He was sensitive to have discerned the military sense of arrival!"Clearly, General Laura didn't arrive on the military aircraft, if she had, by now she would have stepped down.Everyone was sent into a state of confusion as they began to gesticulate on what was happening. All the same, it didn't stopped them from welcoming the platoon of war soldiers and medical officers.It was during the welcoming that they realized and confirmed General Laura didn't arrive with them.Meantime, Diana and her triplets were in a military G-wagon, in the middle of a fleet of military patrol G-Wagon cars that were parked outside in a row.They were before the "big gate" meaning, Delta city military base entrance. Obviously, they were waiting to be let in.**"Now I can confirm why she is so highly rated and praised..." General Derrick smirked as he figured out why Diana didn't arrive on the military aircrafts.With the way General Laura moved, If an enemy was targeting to eliminate her by bombing the aircrafts , they would definitely miss their target.Now, that was the military sense....General Derrick was cool as the military sense sunk into his subconscious. He didn't thought of that earlier!In a jiffy, he arrived at his ward - The Five Star general wards -He knew sooner or later, General Laura would arrive.Immediately he stepped into his ward, an officer walked up to him and reported General Laura was by the "big gate" - The entrance gate of Delta city military base."Let them in..." Derrick instructed without giving it too much thought.With Adjutant general Jared on the passengers seat, the military G-Wagon Diana and her triplets were on, zoomed into the five star general's parking lot and halted, while the other G-wagons that made the fleet drove straight to the guest house of the military base, as directed by an acting officer.Immediately Diana and her triplets got down, ten Delta City military officer marched up to her and saluted,"Welcome, General Laura!""At ease!" Diana eased them and she swept her gaze around the environment. She chuckled over the thoughts of being back in Delta City. A city she swore she would never return to! Clearly fate had something else in store.Seven years ago, her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law set up a cruel trap for her and she foolishly fell into it. On top of that, she got home that day and found her husband, Harvey cuddling her old lover, and to sum it up, he was angry Diana spent the night with a gigolo, so he divorced her and threw her out.Her whole life was destroyed in a flash before her eyes. Left with nothing, completely angry and devastated, she left Delta City to a neighborhood city, United City to restart her life.Two weeks into restarting her life, she started experiencing the early signs of pregnancy. As predicted, she did a pregnancy test and confirmed she was pregnant with triplets. She worked as day-care teacher and with the little penny she earned, she was able to restart her life until she gave birth.Four months later, she started the course of her military and has been successful so far.Recalling those days made her boil in anger that she clenched her fist in anger, not realizing she was holding her daughter, Chioma, the youngest of the triplets."Aouch!" She screamed from the pain she felt from her mum's firm grip on her.Jolting Diana back to her senses, she released her grip on her."Oh so sorry my dear... " She hastily knelt and started straightening her white gown as she apologized.John and his younger brother, James' on the other hand were busy admiring the flowers and the old trees planted in the vicinity. Back in school, they had learnt about these trees and they were imbued with spirituality, thus, it tickled their fancy.Right then, three of the officers helped them took their luggages in.Jared was told to go and park the car in the guest parking lot, without arguing, he reversed the car and stared plying towards the guest house.The guest house was the house reserved for General Laura's entourage. While she, herself, would be staying with the five star general since the security around the five star general ward was more tightened."General Laura personally requested for it!""Mummy, is this where we will be living henceforth?" John walked up to her and asked while he tapped her."No, it's just for the mean time....very soon, we will go back home" General Laura answered him sweetly with a cordial smile. Apparently, she didn't plan on staying for long.Just as Diana and her kids walked over to the big mansion's entrance.A red Lamborghini Aventador zoomed in with high speeds.That was Anamika's car!The room felt like a battlefield, every word a spark ready to ignite a firestorm.Mr. Rashford knelt on the floor, his face swollen from Nero’s thunderous slaps, blood dripping from his lips, his slick suit creased and disheveled. His eyes blazed with humiliated fury, but the weight of Nero’s hand on his shoulder kept him pinned like a bug. Behind him, Mrs. Rashford’s gaudy jewelry jangled as she clutched Marcus, their oversized son, whose earlier bravado had melted into a trembling silence. The four bodyguards lay crumpled in a heap, felled by Nero’s swift fists, their slick suits no match for his raw power.The onlookers—teachers, parents, and straggling students—stood frozen in the doorway, their faces etched with pity and dread. Murmurs rippled through the crowd, their voices low but heavy with foreboding. “He’s done it now,” one whispered. “Rashford’s father is General Abacha, the retired overlord of New Delta’s armed forces, a warlord whose name is carved into the city’s histor
Mr. Rashford’s face contorted with rage, his slick suit gleaming under the fluorescent lights as he jabbed a finger at Nero. “How dare you a sucker like you to bully my wife? And then talk back to me?” he roared, his voice shaking the air like a beast’s bellow. “I’ll teach you a bloody lesson today on behalf of your family, the most painful lesson of your life! And just who are you?”“I’m Nero Magnus,” Nero said, his voice steady, cutting through the chaos like a blade. “The exiled son of the Magnus empire, the father of these kids.”Mr. Rashford’s eyes widened, then narrowed into a vicious grin, his laughter sharp and mocking. Fate had handed him a prize. Rumors of Nero’s return had swirled through New Delta—whispers of him putting Baron Cassian in the hospital, walking free despite Magnus Otumba’s wrath. If Rashford could crush Nero, Cassian and his brothers would owe him favors, cementing his power. “The murderer, the rapist heir,” he sneered. “You’re back?”The onlookers—teachers,
Mrs. Rashford’s face lit up with a venomous joy as her husband stormed in, her plump figure waddling toward him like an overinflated goose, her hips swaying heavily, her gaudy jewelry jangling with each step. “What took you so long, honey?” she whined, her voice a grating mix of relief and indignation, her swollen cheek still red from Nero’s slap. “He could’ve beaten us to death if you’d arrived a tad later!”Mr. Rashford, a hulking figure with a face carved from cruelty, swept the room with a bestial glare, his slick suit gleaming under the lights. His four bodyguards loomed behind him, their hands twitching near concealed weapons, their presence a silent promise of violence. “Who’s the idiot who dared slap my wife?” he roared, his voice shaking the air like a thunderclap. “Doesn’t he know who I am? I’m Mr. Rashford son of the retired military overlord!”Samantha’s heart plummeted, her eyes widening with dread. Mr. Rashford—New Delta’s notorious kingpin, his wealth and cruelty unmatc
Samantha stood frozen, her heart pounding, as Mrs. Rashford’s fleshy arm swung toward her face, the woman’s diamond-encrusted rings glinting with malicious intent. The flesh on her arm jiggled with the force of her swing, her meaty palm inches from Samantha’s delicate cheek, the air thick with the promise of pain.Nero reacted in a heartbeat. Dropping the triplets gently but swiftly—Emilia, Ethan, and Elias sliding to the floor with wide-eyed gasps—he thrust out his right arm, weaker from an old injury but steady enough to seize Mrs. Rashford’s wrist. Her hand hung frozen in mid-air, trembling as she strained against his iron grip, her face twisting in shock and fury. No matter how she yanked, her palm couldn’t budge, as if caught in an invisible vice.In a flash, Nero released her wrist and delivered a stinging slap across her face. The crack echoed like a thunderclap, sharp and final, as if he were swatting an irritating mosquito. Mrs. Rashford staggered, her posh updo unraveling in
Samantha stood to the side, her arms crossed, watching Nero with their triplets—Emilia, Ethan, and Elias—huddled around him, their giggles and chuckles filling the room like a melody she hadn’t heard in years. Her heart fluttered, a mix of joy and disbelief, as she saw her children bask in the warmth of a father’s love for the first time. Their small faces glowed, their eyes bright with a pride they’d never known, their voices hoarse from repeating “Father!” like a chant that anchored their young world.Nero knelt among them, his broad frame a steady anchor, his worn jacket and weathered boots a stark contrast to the polished cruelty of the classroom moments before. Emilia, always the boldest, spun around, her pigtails bouncing, and smirked at Marcus, the hulking ten-year-old bully whose designer clothes strained against his bulk. “Look here, we’re not bastards,” she declared, her voice sharp with newfound confidence. “We have a father too.” Elias, emboldened, stuck out his tongue and
“Listen, I’m the king of this place,” he sneered, his voice dripping with venom as he yanked the rope, making Emilia and her brother gasp, their small hands clawing at the coarse fibers digging into their neck. “When I say you’re a bastard, you’d better act like one. Bark like a dog, now!”The other kids snickered, their eyes glinting with amusement, as if watching a twisted cartoon. Emilia’s red-rimmed eyes darted to her brothers, Ethan’s face set in a stoic mask, Elias’s lips quivering. They crawled forward, their knees scraping the hardwood floor, too small to fight back against Marcus’s bulk or his gang’s cruelty.Samantha reached the classroom’s entrance, her breath catching as she froze in the doorway. The sight of her triplets—leashed like animals, their faces grubby and tear-streaked—sent a jolt of shock through her. Her heart pounded, her hands trembling as she rushed forward, dropping her bag with a thud. She knelt, gathering Emilia, Ethan, and Elias into her arms, her finge
