It was finally the court day. Many people were present in the large supreme court room. Ranging from outsiders, journalist to Diana, her three little Rugrats, and finally to Mark and his entourage, however there was a oddness in the air as Jake was apparently absent but his lawyer and some of Jake's men were present to pursue the case.
Jake had instinctively knew he is a major target and a suspect of the abduction of the missing of Flora, the president generals mother and thus, he can't just show up and let himself get caught. Although, the abduction is not made to the public yet.
Otani on the other hand and his men and a lawyer, supposedly his lawyer arrived a little bit late. He was there to ensure Jake doesn't win the case and gets custody of his children.
Meanwhile, Mark on the other hand has brought along some medical doctors to carry out a paternity test to prove that he is the father of the kids.
Diana sat closely to her lawyer Clancy, whose face was filled with so emotions underneath. She seemed angry and uncomfortable at the same time seeing Mark. His fiance who abandoned her at the alter.
Few minutes later, the judge arrived and the court formalities began. In a jiffy, the judge gave out the order for Clancy, the defendant lawyer and her rival, the plaintiffs lawyer to defend their clients.
Jake's lawyer was the first to speak. He spoke eloquently and confidently in a persuasive manner, making substantial points that Diana was already pregnant before she divorced Jake. He even had to call Diana out for questioning. He further asked if she did had sex with Jake the day before he caught him cheating on her and she replied truthfully, 'Yes! But I was barren!"
"How could you have given birth to triplets if you were barren?" The plaintiff lawyer retorted which in turn kept Diana mute. Even she was confused how she was able to get pregnant Despite being barren.
Then the plaintiff lawyer continued " No doubt, that night.... you forced Jake to release his semen inside of you to see if you can get pregnant right? And just that week, your doctor advised that you have sex with jake regularly since there were 50% chance you could get pregnant..." The plaintiff lawyer concluded and then turned to the crowd and then to judge as he buttressed his point..
"Were you cheating on your husband?" He then turned to Diana and inquired.
"Objection!" Clancy tried to object to cut off the questioning but the Judge overruled it and asked the Plaintiff lawyer to proceed.
Diana finally answered after a bit of hesitation. "No, I didn't cheated on him..."
"That's it my lord.... If Jake is not responsible and is father of the triplets. The only explanation is that you were also cheating on him and now you already cleared the air you didn't cheated, so, who else can be their father?. And mind you, your husband only cheated because he wanted a child, a heir. Everyman wants a successor and we all would most likely go to any extent to have one..." The plaintiff lawyer finally began, seemed like the plane was only warming up...
"If you had sex regularly with your husband for a week and you didn't get pregnant. How then was a one night stand with some man, supposedly the president general get you pregnant?" On letting the question register, tension arose in Mark and even murmuring in the court room began to erupt.
Otani however felt his chance was getting lower. "Jake was not the man from that night! I was and Diana can prove that!" He said to himself and then prompted his lawyer to do something.
The judge then turned to Clancy, and asked.
"What do you have to say?"
Immediately, Clancy cleared up her throat and went over to start defending her clients - but she had another option. Jake had met with her and asked her for her help. He told her that if he is not the kids real father, then Mark should be their father, since Mark claimed so and the kids having a striking resemblance with him. Clancy, on the other hand, had been looking for ways to make Jake pay for what he did to her at the sacred alter on their wedding day. He fucking abandoned her at the alter... after all the sacrifice she did for him. She lost her parents support system because they warned her never to marry a military man.
Since that Day, she erased men from her dictionary. "Taking his kids away from him won't be bad!" She concluded after a glance at Mark who was in turn buried his face in guilt.
