The entire Delta Military Base was on high alert.
Thousands of soldiers of the Delta City military army aligned themselves into neat rows according to their ranks, at the Delta city military airport. Each of them was dressed in complete military gears.However, every one of them fixated their gaze on the military aircrafts, not daring to take their obsequiously complimentary eyes away from the aircrafts, especially the first one that landed.A sense of intense eagerness and anticipation filled the air, tagging along was a sense of hope. Many of the soldiers had managed to grasp a silver of hope on winning the war , since they were getting support.First, the fifty men platoon of united City military war officers made their way down the second aircrafts stairs. They radiated war. Their body emanating murder, their eyes glinting with the blood of conquered enemies. Afterwards, the fifteen men platoon of medical military officers followed suit, but from the first military aircraft that had landed. They were all women as expected. The military medical department has 98% women and just 2% men.Still, General Laura was definitely not yet in sight. Everyone thought and still thinks she was still inside any of the two military aircrafts that had landed. They still stood at an attention hoping for her to step out and walk down the stairs.However, General Derrick suddenly frowned his face after waiting for another minute. This time around, he angrily left, with his adjutant general following him behind closely. "He was sensitive to have discerned the military sense of arrival!"Clearly, General Laura didn't arrive on the military aircraft, if she had, by now she would have stepped down.Everyone was sent into a state of confusion as they began to gesticulate on what was happening. All the same, it didn't stopped them from welcoming the platoon of war soldiers and medical officers.It was during the welcoming that they realized and confirmed General Laura didn't arrive with them.Meantime, Diana and her triplets were in a military G-wagon, in the middle of a fleet of military patrol G-Wagon cars that were parked outside in a row.They were before the "big gate" meaning, Delta city military base entrance. Obviously, they were waiting to be let in.**"Now I can confirm why she is so highly rated and praised..." General Derrick smirked as he figured out why Diana didn't arrive on the military aircrafts.With the way General Laura moved, If an enemy was targeting to eliminate her by bombing the aircrafts , they would definitely miss their target.Now, that was the military sense....General Derrick was cool as the military sense sunk into his subconscious. He didn't thought of that earlier!In a jiffy, he arrived at his ward - The Five Star general wards -He knew sooner or later, General Laura would arrive.Immediately he stepped into his ward, an officer walked up to him and reported General Laura was by the "big gate" - The entrance gate of Delta city military base."Let them in..." Derrick instructed without giving it too much thought.With Adjutant general Jared on the passengers seat, the military G-Wagon Diana and her triplets were on, zoomed into the five star general's parking lot and halted, while the other G-wagons that made the fleet drove straight to the guest house of the military base, as directed by an acting officer.Immediately Diana and her triplets got down, ten Delta City military officer marched up to her and saluted,"Welcome, General Laura!""At ease!" Diana eased them and she swept her gaze around the environment. She chuckled over the thoughts of being back in Delta City. A city she swore she would never return to! Clearly fate had something else in store.Seven years ago, her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law set up a cruel trap for her and she foolishly fell into it. On top of that, she got home that day and found her husband, Harvey cuddling her old lover, and to sum it up, he was angry Diana spent the night with a gigolo, so he divorced her and threw her out.Her whole life was destroyed in a flash before her eyes. Left with nothing, completely angry and devastated, she left Delta City to a neighborhood city, United City to restart her life.Two weeks into restarting her life, she started experiencing the early signs of pregnancy. As predicted, she did a pregnancy test and confirmed she was pregnant with triplets. She worked as day-care teacher and with the little penny she earned, she was able to restart her life until she gave birth.Four months later, she started the course of her military and has been successful so far.Recalling those days made her boil in anger that she clenched her fist in anger, not realizing she was holding her daughter, Chioma, the youngest of the triplets."Aouch!" She screamed from the pain she felt from her mum's firm grip on her.Jolting Diana back to her senses, she released her grip on her."Oh so sorry my dear... " She hastily knelt and started straightening her white gown as she apologized.John and his younger brother, James' on the other hand were busy admiring the flowers and the old trees planted in the vicinity. Back in school, they had learnt about these trees and they were imbued with spirituality, thus, it tickled their fancy.Right then, three of the officers helped them took their luggages in.Jared was told to go and park the car in the guest parking lot, without arguing, he reversed the car and stared plying towards the guest house.The guest house was the house reserved for General Laura's entourage. While she, herself, would be staying with the five star general since the security around the five star general ward was more tightened."General Laura personally requested for it!""Mummy, is this where we will be living henceforth?" John walked up to her and asked while he tapped her."No, it's just for the mean time....very soon, we will go back home" General Laura answered him sweetly with a cordial smile. Apparently, she didn't plan on staying for long.Just as Diana and her kids walked over to the big mansion's entrance.A red Lamborghini Aventador zoomed in with high speeds.That was Anamika's car!"Mummy! Look... The new model of Lamborghini Aventador!" Chioma said excitedly, while taping her mum and pointing at the car that had just zoomed in, evidently directing Diana's attention to the car. She had a thing for luxury cars, thus , she knew almost every model of every luxury cars.Diana quickly turned to see the red luxurious car. It was indeed eye catching. "It's beautiful, isn't?" Chioma inquired in an excited tone."Yes.....!" Diana responded swiftly, backing her daughter's excitement.Just then, a lady wearing a floor length red gown, with an ox-blood lipstick applied on her plump lips stepped down from the car gracefully. Her hair was velour-black and it offset her oxblood-red lips giving her a more stunning look. Without sweeping her gaze around, she walked over and opened the back seat door from the outside, she had a bitter worried smile on, as a woman in her late 50's stepped down. The brunette lady supported her as she got down."Mum.. You'll be fine okay?" The brun
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 wa
"I'm sorry about any inconvenience Anamika caused you. You can get in now. You're welcome general Laura!" General Derrick spoke apologetically, frowning at Anamika as comprehension dawned on him."What? What are you going to do about the slap that I received from her? Forgive her? " Diana demanded, her voice was stern, indicating seriousness.Derrick discerned the seriousness in her tone and quickly responded."What do you wish I do to her?" He inquired."Two things to pick from one ....." Diana began in a satisfactory tone."Either she gets down on her kneels and apologize or engage in pimp punishment under this hot sun for five hours. I guess, the former is preferable!" Diana smirked with authority.General Derrick could only obey, so, he turned to Anamika and yelled, " You heard her! Apologize!"Anamika got startled, "Sweetheart, I, " Anamika stretched her hand out, hoping to wrap it around General Derricks arm. However, he retracted away and turned to her in grim annoyed expressi
Inside the five star generals mansion, General Laura's apartment specifically...........Diana and her triplets were busy settling in....Tomorrow was going to be a long day for Diana.... She would be supervising the medical officers as they help and treat the injured soldiers. Some of the soldiers were severely injured and would be undergoing amputations. On the heels of that, Diana is required to train the newly promoted junior officers as their strength would be needed for the next battle.Right then, the thoughts of Four star general Manu sprang into Diana's faculty and her eager curiosity intensified,Why would a powerful reputable general betray his own city? I can't believe it was just because he lost the five star general position to Derrick.Right then, a knock came on her door."Kpo kpo kpo""Come in," she said.In a jiffy, Jared let himself unobtrusively into the large room and saluted. The three little Rugrats were busy on their individual laptops while Diana was arrangin
"Don't worry brother! I'm still working on it", Anamika assured. The next instant she questioned cutting Harvey out with what he was about saying, "We have till month end to make the payment right?" She needed to be sure."Yes!" Harvey answered.Anamika had to sigh, she felt a need to in order to calm her heart slamming against her ribcage.“Alright, Take care...” Harvey clicked off, amid shouts from two lady's in the background,The second voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar, though not immediately identifiable.Anamika twirled the phone cord nervously around her finger. “okay! That's definitely Juliete jones! His wife!"After the phone hung up, Anamika heaved another long sigh. She had bigger plan mapped out and if it eventually works out well, the three hundred million dollar would be just a chicken feed!She was planning on getting into the military contract marriage with General Derrick, the five star general either by hook or by crook !As one of the families wh
As they walked in, Derrick was somewhat scared his mum would bring the conversation he is trying to avoid up again, as her steely voice reverberated in his mind."You'll have to find and protect the nanny's daughter for eternity, starting with marriage. The brave nanny from many years ago, who died protecting you!" Soon, They arrived in a main hall. And Mrs Charity, the wife of the late Otumba, Derrick's father walked over to a throne in the centre with a kind of saunter as if she hadn't a care in the world, While Derrick promptly sat on a seat near by.Meanwhile, guilt was soaring through Mrs Charity as she thought about the brave nanny who had died after sustaining twenty bullets from some unknown gunmen, who had stormed the Otumba's resident one fateful day.They were Otumba's enemies army. Being a god of war, he had many enemies and on that fateful day, he went out on a patrol with his men and an hour time, some unknown gunmen stormed his residence, killing every security guards
At the five star general mansion...Chioma held her dolls in her arms and leaned closer to her mum who was prepared to go out, and get familiarized with the new basement that she is been deployed to.Afterall, the base was huge and one could get lost in it, if care is not taken in a short time."Mummy... Our sixth birthday is next week". Chioma reminded and raised her head to Diana, her face was a Canva of freckles as usual, and her eyes wide with a child's innocence."Yes, I know.. how could I forget my children's birthday? You all are the best thing that ever happened to me!" Diana responded sweetly, with her eyes sparkling with curiosity why Chioma suddenly reminded her."We know you didn't forget. We just want a special gift from you that day!" John spoke on behalf of his siblings as he got closer to Diana and Chioma who were seated on a couch.James on the other hand was behind him, with his face devoid of it's usual playfulness, replaced by a solemn expression. When Diana noti
Meantime,Anamika on the other hand was restless when the thoughts of Diana probed into her mind.She was seated close to her sleeping mum on the bed, but was completely absent minded. Then her phone chirped with a message, she dug her hands into her pocket and unearthed the phone. She quickly navigated to the message centre and saw the message from her secret lover, and it read,"Diana's children are illegitimate, no one knows their father!".Diana was stunned that she clenched her fist anxiously. She had told her secret lover to find out about Diana's children father, providing him with the necessary details to do so.The kids sure has a resemblance with the five star general and about six years old. Anamika suddenly became sensitive especially while trying to discern and connect the dots.She was now feeling like it was a necessary prerequisite to be aware of everything about Diana now! Aside being the four star general and a mother to triplets? What else?Deep down,she could not
