Talking about her dirty little secrets.... it was the reason she set Diana up and got her into exile.
Anamika's expression fell when she heard Diana's words, of course, she didn't want her secrets exposed.
"You???" Anamika got infuriated and gave Diana a heavy slap
"Bam!"
The loud smack left every military officer posted by astounded.
She dares slap the four star general? The incredible four star general?
"Serves her right!" Eddy sneered from where she was standing, behind.
Diana didn't even clutched at her cheeks. Anamika's slap was like a tap to her. She has endured way worst pains before she became the legendary General Laura.
John and his siblings got enraged on the sight of what had just happened..
"Someone dares slap their mother? In their presence?"
At that moment, the entrance door swung open, everyone quickly averted their gaze towards the direction, it was the five star general and his adjutant general.
"Salute!" The military officers around quickly saluted immediately he walked out, all standing at an attention.. even the three little Rugrats saluted when they saw his barge attached to his uniform.
Diana who was at a lower rank compared to the five star general was on the verge of saluting when she trailed off. Completely stunned that she forgot what she ought to do while saluting.
General Derrick stood tall and straight, he was handsome beyond comprehension with his athletic build, and he carried with him, a military nobility.
"What appears to be the matter?" His deep, cold voice rang out, with his narrowed eyes locked onto Diana.
Since Diana was on normal civilian clothing and appeared normal, General Derrick didn't think she was the four star general. Maybe the cleaner he requested for.
The expression on Anamika's face changed the instant she saw Derrick. The arrogance and authoritarianism disappeared all of a sudden as she walked over to General Derrick like someone whose right was infringed upon.
"Sweetheart... Thanks for coming. It was all her. She dares talk back at me, I'd have forgiven her if it was just that. She and her little Rugrats insulted me!"
Glancing down at the little Rugrats Anamika was referring to, he saw three of them. Two identical looking boys and an exquisitely beautiful sweet looking girl. They all appeared to be five to six years old to him.
Meanwhile, Diana on the other hand was trying to fathom how and why her kids managed to have an absolute striking similitude and resemblance to the five star general.
General Derrick couldn't help but ignore Anamika's pretentious acts and focus more on the three little Rugrats. How come the boys look exactly like him?
He scrunched up his brows, "These kids!"
"Sir, are you going to stick with your arrogant girlfriend? She just gave me a slap!" Diana managed to stumble the words out.
General Derrick raised his head to meets Diana's sharp gaze.
"Who are you? And how did you get here?" He asked in a deep, rumbling voice.
Before Diana could respond, he cut her off with another question.
"Are these your kids?" He pressed on Diana, eyeing her intently as he couldn't believe how someone's else kids could have a striking similitude and resemblance to him. On the heels of that, they had same amber eyes as him.
Diana's faculty of speech and thoughts could no longer cooperate, it had all gone haywire under General Derricks burning gaze.
"Which question does she answer first?"
The wheels in her mind turned furiously before she finally answered, "Yes, they're are my kids.... And I'm gene- " she was not done talking when Jared, her adjutant general walked in and did the simultaneous military salute. Evidently, he was saluting two persons of higher rank than him. Who was the other person other than General Derrick?
Meantime, Eddy and her daughter, Anamika just confirmed from Diana's mouth that indeed, the kids were Diana's children.
"It must have been a miracle for a barren chick go give birth to triplets at once... Then again, something odd was in the air. How come General Derrick has some similitude with her kids?" The similitude was clearly evident. One didn't need a paternity test to discern the kids and general Derrick could have some relationship.../COULD/.
"At ease!" Diana eased Jared, as General Derrick thought about why Jared would do the simultaneous military salute when himself was the only one of higher rank present there.
Immediately Diana eased him, comprehension dawned on Derrick.
" She is probably the four star general? How come she is not wearing her uniforms?"
Even Eddy and Anamika were both flabbergasted, why would Diana ease someone wearing the adjutant general badge? Is she of higher rank than him? And he even responded when clearly a bloody civilian eased him.
Anamika didn't dwell on that, she turned to General Derrick and Catching him as he studied Diana's face, Anamika silently gnashed her teeth in horror.
I hope he doesn't remember her! No way am I going to let that happen.
She put her arms around Generals Derrick arm, forming a loop and with her pretentious pitiful looks she said, ", I'm sorry darling. I slapped her out of impulsiveness. But, how can a small brat and his mother who are obviously bloody civilians insult the five star generals fiancé?"
Just then a female military officer walked in and did the same simultaneous military salute, this time around, General Derrick eased her, ignoring Anamika's explanation.
"General Laura, I have made arrangements for you and your kids. You can get in now!" The military officer reported, bowing slightly in a form of respect to Diana.
"General Laura? Did she just refer to Diana as general Laura?
Who would have expected Diana to be the incredible general Laura? I'm in hot soup, how could I have raised my hands against a four star general?
Anamika's expression turned completely downright, as blood drained away from her face.
She remembers assuming Diana's shoe in order to be the five star generals fiancé. Diana was definitely the one who ended up in his room, and not her... Does that explains why the kids has a striking resemblance with him?
Not only that, how come Diana is the legendary General Laura?
