On getting back to the bedroom, he reminded himself of the high discipline he has . He felt like killing her and choking her, but he couldn’t as he stared angrily at her. His status as the five star general wouldn’t let him!
With his eyes gleaming cold and radiating a murderous intent, he walked out again.
*****
As the three little rugrats had their breakfast with their mum, Diana kept looking at them and smiling.
John noticed that, and when it became too much he broke his table manners and asked, “mum, what’s it? Or you think we don’t know you have been lying to us about Daddy?”
“Shissh!” Jame’s wanted to overloud his brother but it was too late. “He is such a blabbermouth!”
Diana was frozen when he heard John’s word. Her expression changed all of a sudden.
“Mum, don’t worry. We will help you find the Gigolo. My brothers are sure he is our father! Besides, a DNA paternity test will confirm that, once we find him!” Chioma broke the bombshell,
“Moreover, don’t you have any clue we can use to find him? Or you know him already? I’m pretty sure you do, afterall there was no way you can’t recognize his face?”
Should say Diana was shocked was an understatement. “How did her kids figure all if it out? Clearly she had underestimated what they were capable off!”
Diana didn’t remember his face, although has a clue.
“Don’t worry. I’ll find and bring him…” Diana pleaded, knowing and realizing she is been caught right handed.
“No more “Dad in Afghanis City” shenanigans, David Diana!” John added,
“Shit! They even know her her original name now?”
“I’m sorry kids!” She apologized, it didn’t take long for the mother and kids to be back in terms, as far as she brings their father very soon.
Once they were done eating, General Jared walked over to their mum and after the usual formalities of saluting, he handed over a sealed envelope of an invitation to Diana.
Diana quickly opened it and on reading it, she felt numb for a quite a while as it reminded her of her mum’s selfless sacrifice many years ago.
“Mum, what’s it?” Jame’s asked when he noticed her mum’s expression falling.
The kids soon walked over to her and surrounded her, “Mum, is everything okay?” They voiced their concern.
“Don’t worry! I’m just being emotional…” She put on a fake smile to convince her kids. Knowing about their father was enough.
Her late’s mum madaam was the one who sent the invitation. She was no other person than Mrs Charity, Derrick’s mother. The meeting was to hold in Mrs Charity house by 7pm tonight.. the address was stated in the invitation letter.
She had some questions for Diana….
However, the three little rascals knew thier mum was hiding something under her clouds. They knew their mother like the back of their hands, how would they not know if she was lying? Evidently, the content of the letter reminded her of something that made her sad.
“Don’t worry kids. I’m fine. It’s just some work issue! I’ll sort it out okay?”
The kids only kept mute in response, they still felt she was lying. Why is their mum always lying? To protect them or what?
Afterwards, they left without uttering another word. That was sufficient to tell Diana they were angry already.
Soon, Diana was set for work and on her way out she bumped into Anamika.
The sight of Anamika made her boiled in anger.
Her cunning nature was still very much visible.
Anamika rather smirked and asked,” Did you find the precious Gigolo?”
Angrily, Diana raised her left hand and gave her a heavy slap.
“Gbosa!”
She was even soft on her since she used her left hands. If she had used the right, Anamika would actually see stars jungle around her head.
“How dare you?” Diana shouted at her as Anamika reacted by rubbing her cheeks that were turning red already. The pain from the slap was tough on her.
“You lied to me again?. Anyways, I don’t blame you. Just so you know. Your mum would still die in a month time if proper treatment is not administered to her and you’ve clearly locked the door against yourself. I’ll never treat her again, infact I’ll ensure she dies!” With this said, Diana walked out on her afterall she has a clue now on where to find the real identity of the gigolo from seven years ago.
Her plan was to go back to the bar and fish out his identity by crook!
Meanwhile, Derrick was at the training field jogging round the field. He was finding it hard to convince himself nothing happened last night with Anamika but the thoughts of the opposite was more dominant. The more he thought about it. The more angrier he got.
He needed to clear his head, most importantly his mind…
Alas, his telephone rings brought him back from his trance, on checking up his phone, he saw the text from his mum,
“Meet me up by 7pm tonight….”
“Haa! It looks important!”
Anamika on the other hand on knowing that her mum had a month to live, she was scared to the guts. The only way she can still get Diana to treat her mother was if Derrick marries her or if Harvey remarries Diana. Afterall, the military marriage benefits are the same.
The only way Harvey can have a grip on Diana was if he fathered the kids. Maybe, he does… Even if he doesn’t, he would! The kids looked to be six years old, maybe she was already pregnant when Harvey threw her out.
Anamika snapped her fingers….. she was going to harsh another plan.
She will not only marry Derrick, her brother would remarry his ex-wife who is now a four star general and claim custody of her kids, afterall there were chances the kids are for him, calculating from the age of the kids. A DNA paternity test will confirm that, but, how can they perform DNA test on the kids?
Anamika quickly sent Harvey an urgent text to meet her up.
Now, she was seated in a restaurant with Harvey discussing.
“Brother!, I want you to think back to seven years ago. Did you have sex with Diana the week you found out she was a cheat and threw her out?” Anamika asked, cunningly.
Harvey only heaved a sigh, he had been thinking about it since he found out Diana had never been with a man for the past seven years and the kids father never showing up.
‘Gigolo’s are very professional. A Gigolo would never impregnate her!” Harvey thought.
“Yea… yea.. I rolled in the hay with her, trice that week!” Harvey responded, searching Anamika’s face.
“Good!” Anamika said, she was elated. First, Harvey has no idea that she and their mum was the one who orchestrated all that befell Diana. Secondly, since Harvey had sex with her trice that week, there is possibilities he was their father.
“What do you mean by Good?” Harvey asked intently but confusion was not far behind.
“I think the triplets belongs to you! Their father never showed up and Diana hasn’t been with a man… So? Doesn’t that ring a bell?” Anamika pushed in.
She can let Derrick or Diana find out the truth. Although, Anamika was a bit sure the kid’s belonged to Derrick due to the resemblance plus he was the man from that night, seven years ago who had sex with Anamika. But now, to prevent the worst from happening, she had to act fact.
“I have had that thought myself. We will be sure once a DNA paternity test is carried out. But how can I make that happen?
“Figure it out, brother. The faster you act, the better for you!” Anamika urged.
They both collectively thought of a plan…..
