In a jiffy, two of the lackey's exited the room and brought with them the three little rugrats unharmed.
"Mummy!!", Jennifer was the one to quickly call out to her mum as she rushed forward through the men to hug her mom immediately they entered the room and she caught sight of her mum.
Diana on the other hand rushed forward and also hugged her. It's been barely a day plus that Diana met her children but it felt like they have been away for decades that their reunion was so passionate. When Stoic and Legacy got closer Diana examined their faces and asked if they were hurt or were giving something to eat.
"No, mummy.... We didn't take any of their food!", Stoic responded. So, practically he and his siblings had not had anything to eat for over a day now.
"My kids must be so hungry!" Diana gritted her teeth as to what Jake had made her children experience. With the ring in her possession, she could make Jake pay! She scoffed and found comfort on that.
Stoic and Legacy had gotten all the information they needed all through the while they were kidnapped.. they could escape and meet their mum anytime even under the watchfulness of Jake's guards but they choose not to as they wanted to find out more about the connection between Hannah and Jake.
"Mummy! Jake continued insisting we called him father.... That he is our father!" Jennifer gisted with her tiny little voice.
"Come on, let go home... talk about that later and No, he is not your father! And can never be..." Diana responded immediately wit a frown. She can't let Jake take custody of her kids, he is a monster... Just few minutes ago he tried to rape her!.
"But mom, the DNA paternity test proved it.... Does paternity results lie?" Jennifer as a girl was all emotional now, confused of who her father is.
"The results are faked! Sister don't worry!" Legacy reassured her sister as Diana kept mute. She felt the sharp gaze of Mark on her, "Why is she denying Jake access to his own children?" Mark frowned, that's pure wickedness! Remember, He had performed a paternity DNA test on the kids and when the doctor who did the test came to give him the results he didn't find Mark home, but found his wife..... Hannah! Who subsequently altered the hitherto Positive result to negative.
"For how long can you deny the kids of their father?" Mark broke the silence of over a few moment now.
"Com' on let's go....." With that said Diana, Mark and Richarlison left the building....
Peter who was still in the room, was deep in thoughts, he kept having the suspicion that the silver ring Diana was wearing was fake! But he couldn't quite pin point why.... He spent over a minute scrutinizing the silver ring on her finger but it didn't felt like the original!
"Boys! I think the ring is fake! We've been duped... Let's report back!" Peter said. Stab and the other men were dumbfounded, how couldn't they have figured it out? But it was best they obeyed her command if peradventure the silver ring she wore was the original.
Presently, on the Maybach Mercedes Benz Diana and her kids were on, Mark was at the drivers seat since Richarlison was injured.
Halfway through the journey back to the military base, Richarlison broke the silence, " Sir!" He called out to make to get his attention and of course he did!
"I have done deep research and found out Jake and Hannah dated! And rumors have it they have a daughter together.... Coincidental, she is your betrothed!"
"What proofs do you have?" Mark questioned not wanting to believe what Richarlison was insinuating.
"The three bloody civilians confessed! Before I had them sent out! And I think that girl from that day Diana was to be executed is Hannah's daughter..."
Mark furrowed his brows and he forcefully hit the breaks!
Screeching.....
"But why would she deny her?" So he was married to a lady who probably, have a daughter for his long time step brother? Unbelievable!
"Stop saying rubbish!", Mark said and started the engines again then a little boys voice rang through....
"Yes, Daddy.... Richarlison is saying the truth!" Legacy was the one talking and he continued, "All the while we were kidnapped, Jake kept on talking with someone who always gives out information about how far my mum was close to finding us and she is Hannah! I know her voice!" Legacy explained further.
"She needs to be studied! I think I overheard her also, telling your step brother over the phone that the president general has found his hideout, but I guess she was not quick enough! You came just right in time! Thank you!" Diana spoke, trying to muster all he gratitude and affection into that the last statement.
Mark just glanced at her.... There were so many somethings troubling his mind. His brother is back seeking revenge and the possible "mole" is Hannah and now the silver ring Diana was wearing was fake! But where is the original? This troubled her more.
Diana was happy she has found her kids and also in a way was riveting back to the sudden realization of how powerful she has been for just wearing the silver ring! Hmpphh! There is no where left for Jake again as far as I have this ring with me..... I'll make him pay for the all the deeds he has been doing... But then again, was he really the father of her triplets? It can't be him.... She just wished she had her memories back.
About five minutes later, the maybach car came to stop slowingly, just in front of Diana's building. They had arrived at the military base. Diana and her kids alighted but Mark who ought to be taking Richarlison to the hospital ward for treatment also alighted and held Diana's arm, which made her lagged behind. Her kids in front then stood waiting for their mummy to meet them up after having Whatever discussion she has with the president general.
"What?," Diana asked brusquely as she felt the cold sensation of his hands drawing her back.....
"Where is the real silver ring?"
"What do you mean? What are you saying? Diana asked almost at the same time.
"The Ring on your finger is fake! Where is the real one?" Mark said aggressively this time around holding Diana's arm more tightly that it caused her pain. It was obvious he was angry already!
"I really don't know..... let go off my arm... Ouccch!" Diana said and then screamed as the grasp on her arms caused her a more excruciating pain. Mark startled by her sudden scream, let her go, he didn't realize he was exerting much force on his grip, the scream was the jolt he needed.
Diana brought her hands forward to look at the Silver Ring more closely....
"It's really fake! Damnit!
"Find me the original before I return!" Mark said angrily and then went back into his car and drove Richarlison angrily liking a drunk driver to the hospital ward. He needs serious answers as well from Hannah!
Diana stood there rooted to the spot as he began to calculate....
