Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Otani squatted at once and asked gently, which made Jennifer liked him

“Who is your father?”

By this time, the guards had retreated some metres backward.

“Mark is our Daddy…..” Jennifer responded excitedly. After a moment of letting her response register she continued excitedly, “You must be his stepbrother mummy was telling us about? Right?”

“Yes, I am!” Otani responded and a smile flashed across his face, trying to suppress something? What was it? He didn’t know why her response drilled a hole in his heart.

“Before your mum arrive… let’s play a game!” He immediately stalled the scenery into a brighter one and as time proceeded they started playing a game , an interesting one as four of them enjoyed it. Otani didn’t mind at all. He was loving the kids company, they were smart and sensitive and it got him excited and stimulated his playful aspect. He had not had such fun since the last six years of his life. It was such a relief for him to finally to be able to ease himself.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, Diana was at patrol field and just finished inspecting the Junior officers in their training. She was utterly exhausted as she prepared to go back home and as well inform her kids they’d be moving to the president generals villa since she was now the vice personal assistant to the president general.

She was on her way when a military transport car zoomed and halted close to her. It was the kind of car used for easy transportation in the military base. She entered at once, after all she was completely exhausted. The person on the driver’s seat was a female officer, she need not be told where Diana was heading.

“Congratulations!” She congratulated Diana as the car engines ignited. Diana just deduced it was obviously because of her new position as the vice personal assistant to the president general. News spread like wildfire in this big base!. In such a short time, everyone had learnt about it.

Sooner, Diana arrived home and she saw Oman by the entrance which reminded her about Otani’s visit. She hummed and said to herself, “He is still inside with the kids… they must have such a great affinity then!”

Moments later, she went to join them despite being exhausted. Her kids welcomed her warmly but Otani’s attitude towards her changed like switching the bulb off. That was obviously because he found out Diana had kids for his stepbrother.

“I’ll get going now!” He said after a minute of Diana’s arrival.

He didn’t wasted any more time before he left. The kids didn’t mind either. They understood and knew he was somewhat healing from a disappointment.

On his way, he overhead some female officers doing “aproko” as Nigerians call it, in order words gossiping… What slipped into his hearing was the name “Diana”

“She is now the vice personal assistant to the president general!” One of the officers informed her counterpart.

“What was the need of president general making her his vice personal assistant when she should be first lady? Or maybe they were yet to marry, but she had kids for him already”.. Otani speculated.

Just then Diana ran up to him, she was curious why he changed attitude all of a sudden and left few minutes after she arrived. She deduced something must have unsettled him and she wanted to find out.

“Hey.. why are you acting up?” She inquired with a concerned expression when she finally caught up with Otani.

“You didn’t tell me you had triplets for my step brother!” He answered truthfully almost immediately he heard the question. More like he had been expecting it.

Diana was half shocked, his tone denoted he was angry.

“Oh no, he is not their father in actual fact. That’s was what I tried discussing with you earlier today. The one night stand was what resulted in the triplets… ! Never had sex with him!” Diana quickly explained and afterwards realized it must be the kids who told him Mark was their father.

Stunned by the revelation, Otani in way thanked God so much in his heart. He was impotent and can’t have a child, but miracles happen? Who would have thought the one night stand resulted in three babies?.

Otani would cease the opportunity and make sure he owns the kids, even if he doesn’t. Their mother said he is their father afterall.. Six years ago he lost his pregnant wife due to a car accident. It was a sperm donor that impregnated her. He needed a child and that was the only alternative that he found befitting. Now, the lady he supposedly had sex with that night of the terrible incident, got pregnant and had triplets…. reportedly, he is their father!
