"Don't worry brother! I'm still working on it", Anamika assured. The next instant she questioned cutting Harvey out with what he was about saying, "We have till month end to make the payment right?" She needed to be sure."Yes!" Harvey answered.Anamika had to sigh, she felt a need to in order to calm her heart slamming against her ribcage.“Alright, Take care...” Harvey clicked off, amid shouts from two lady's in the background,The second voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar, though not immediately identifiable.Anamika twirled the phone cord nervously around her finger. “okay! That's definitely Juliete jones! His wife!"After the phone hung up, Anamika heaved another long sigh. She had bigger plan mapped out and if it eventually works out well, the three hundred million dollar would be just a chicken feed!She was planning on getting into the military contract marriage with General Derrick, the five star general either by hook or by crook !As one of the families wh
As they walked in, Derrick was somewhat scared his mum would bring the conversation he is trying to avoid up again, as her steely voice reverberated in his mind."You'll have to find and protect the nanny's daughter for eternity, starting with marriage. The brave nanny from many years ago, who died protecting you!" Soon, They arrived in a main hall. And Mrs Charity, the wife of the late Otumba, Derrick's father walked over to a throne in the centre with a kind of saunter as if she hadn't a care in the world, While Derrick promptly sat on a seat near by.Meanwhile, guilt was soaring through Mrs Charity as she thought about the brave nanny who had died after sustaining twenty bullets from some unknown gunmen, who had stormed the Otumba's resident one fateful day.They were Otumba's enemies army. Being a god of war, he had many enemies and on that fateful day, he went out on a patrol with his men and an hour time, some unknown gunmen stormed his residence, killing every security guards
At the five star general mansion...Chioma held her dolls in her arms and leaned closer to her mum who was prepared to go out, and get familiarized with the new basement that she is been deployed to.Afterall, the base was huge and one could get lost in it, if care is not taken in a short time."Mummy... Our sixth birthday is next week". Chioma reminded and raised her head to Diana, her face was a Canva of freckles as usual, and her eyes wide with a child's innocence."Yes, I know.. how could I forget my children's birthday? You all are the best thing that ever happened to me!" Diana responded sweetly, with her eyes sparkling with curiosity why Chioma suddenly reminded her."We know you didn't forget. We just want a special gift from you that day!" John spoke on behalf of his siblings as he got closer to Diana and Chioma who were seated on a couch.James on the other hand was behind him, with his face devoid of it's usual playfulness, replaced by a solemn expression. When Diana noti
Meantime,Anamika on the other hand was restless when the thoughts of Diana probed into her mind.She was seated close to her sleeping mum on the bed, but was completely absent minded. Then her phone chirped with a message, she dug her hands into her pocket and unearthed the phone. She quickly navigated to the message centre and saw the message from her secret lover, and it read,"Diana's children are illegitimate, no one knows their father!".Diana was stunned that she clenched her fist anxiously. She had told her secret lover to find out about Diana's children father, providing him with the necessary details to do so.The kids sure has a resemblance with the five star general and about six years old. Anamika suddenly became sensitive especially while trying to discern and connect the dots.She was now feeling like it was a necessary prerequisite to be aware of everything about Diana now! Aside being the four star general and a mother to triplets? What else?Deep down,she could not
At the balcony.. seated on a couch, John's finger were typing on a laptops keyboards furiously and speedily, the next moment he provided a lines of codes. "You did it big bro!" James' said in excitement and shared a look with his sister. They could sense each other's excitement. "It's time to get excited ...." John said, stretching his fingers forward, the next moment, the laptop screen blinked and then returned to normal.To his left, his sister, Chioma sat close to him, staring at the laptops display screen and to his right, seated James staring attentively on the display screen.They had managed to find out their mum's real name, "Diana!" The first clue was from the drama Anamika and her mum played. Anamika even called her Diana and Barren Chick..However, the three little rascals knew their mum's name as Laura... Why would someone call her Diana? On top of that, they knew their mum was from this city and probably had one or two grudges with Anamika and her mum..a reason she refu
Once James and Chioma saw their mother approaching, they dropped into acting and frowned deeply. Diana was surprised that their mood didn't lit up even when they saw and heard her calling them."Indeed... They're angry at me. They'd never been angry at me to this extent!" Diana thought and hummed.When Diana reached, the first thing she observed was the absence of John,"Where is your brother?" She immediately asked,"He went to pee-" Chioma responded with her frown and then rested her head on James' lap.Diana's facial expression changed, even though she was standing before her kids, it felt like her relationship with them was completely severed and crippled. The affinity they used to have was practically not there anymore.She walked over to the two and sat close to them, the kids averted their gaze away from her emotionally filled sharp stare.Before Diana could open her mouth to say what she intended to, John came and called out, "James! Chioma! Let's go play hide and seek!" Once
"I already agreed to a dinner with her, let's see if I can bound with her even after futile seven years!" Derrick thought and balanced his thoughts, "I need to make up for her! After all, what I did to her caused irreversible damages to her life!"At exactly thirty minutes time...General Derrick arrived at his villa, once he got down from the car, a grandwar master messenger walked up to him and saluted, "Sir! There is an urgent meeting at the grandwar masters cabinet. Your attention is needed!" The grandwar masters messenger reported.At that same time, General Derrick's electronic pager beeped, On navigating on the pagers display screen, he saw the invitation."Alright. I'm on my way!" He answered and eased the grandwar masters messenger.*****Despite the war Delta city was facing, the damages only affected it's border and outskirt. Delta city military defence was so good that the main districts of Delta city still operated normally without a hint of panic. The enemies can't pos
Even when Diana was staring at the table and trying to avoid his serious gaze, he still didn't take his eyes away from her. Derrick was undoubtedly stubborn. Diana was so hot and pressed while speculating on why he would be staring at her all day long."Is there something on my face?", She thought,"General Laura, tell us your opinion please!" A grandwar master suddenly cued her, bringing her back from her reverie. She stood up, looking puzzled clearly as a result of her daydreaming. She had no idea what the grandwar master was pertaining to for seeking her opinion personally."Uh..... Can you come again sir!" She said boldly wth a puzzled expression.As her response landed, the grandwar master wore an ugly expression."Are you not general Laura who was deployed from united City? How can you be absent minded in a serious meeting like this? How incompetent of you!" The grandwar master, master Lee was naturally harsh thus he decided to reprimand her to teach her a lesson." How did yo
