How Did You Get The Ring?

"Coincidental right?" She gasped. She couldn't help staring at the figure, his features so flawless and indeed a precious artwork of heavens.

"Young lady, will you get on the floor! How dare you still sitting down there without paying due respect?" One of the burly bouncers shouted, he seemed like the personal guard to the president general. Something was off about his dress code that accentuated the fact.

That jolted Diana out of her thoughts.

"Sorry!" She said and continued with her meals looking unconcerned. But something troubled her mind. Her mind got restless.

Mark who in turn has fixated his gaze on the lady started off towards her while the burly bouncer that had spoken earlier followed behind.

"Buzz off!" Mark ordered with a frown on his face,when he almost stumbled into a couple lying down on the floor shivering.

With those two words alone and the oppressive aura he exuded, the couple who didn't want to get caught in any cross fire, they felt so suffocated that they could barely breathe as they paved way for him.

Diana this time had turned to back the men and the approaching man. She didn't want to make any eye contact, because something about the figure tickled her memory.

"Sir Mark!" Mr Leo, the bar owner greeted reverentially as he stood up and hastily moved forward.

"I hope all is well Sir? " Leo spoke with his stammering voice as he prostrated.

Marks brow knitted together and, he cut gaze of the young man. With that mere glance, Leo was terrified that he almost began to pee on his pants. He hastily backed away while exclaiming "No.. No .. No My lord! Of course not!" Then he flashed Mark an apologetic smile, he was frightened enough to have broken up a cold sweat.

Satisfied with Leo's submission and attitude, Mark shifted his gaze towards the lady who was sitting backing them, but however, she could hear and sense everything.

One need not be a genius to know this man was not to be played with or provoked at all. With his flick of his fingers, the whole Delta city and beyond can come down crashing and it' can get deserted.

The power he has...top notch

The authority he exuded...top notch

The feelings of I'm untouchable...99.9¼%.

Diana feeling apprehensive and getting uncomfortable immediately stood up at once and started towards the entrance but then something occurred, when she walked past Mark, she deliberately started to avoid mark by keeping her heads down.

"Hey!" Mark reached out to her and grabbed her hands. It was cold and warm at the same time. Like an electrifying shock running through her.

She turned wanting to know who it is that is holding her and then slipped and was about falling when Mark reflexively held her waist wanting to keep her from falling to the ground, she locked gazes with the president General. Each others aroma were familiar. Jaw dropping ones. Diana did lost her memories but not her perceptions and as such could remember the smell of things.

They stayed like that for a while until Mark was tapped on his shoulder by his personal guard, he immediately released the grip he had on the lady and she fell unto the floor crashing!.

He felt disappointed he had almost lost guard, he got infuriated! this would be the talk of the city, that I held a lady's waist at a bar. Mark was more concerned about maintaining a clean sheet!. Never had he expected such thing to happen.

"How dare you? " He shouted at the lady who was sprawled on the floor, she was groaning in agony pains of ache, with her hands on her head, something seemed not to be right with her, like her memory getting jolted but the fall was not sufficient, her recollection were all blurred.

Blurry images of having a sexual intercourse with a man at a night club party flashed through her mind, but disbursed them off as she felt relieved. She couldn't quite make sense with the images.

Mark, on the other hand, was feeling bad for the lady sprawled on the floor. 'I mean I shouldn't have let her fall like that! I just was trying to help her from falling and then at the end left her to fall! How could I be so stupid".

As Diana was managing to stand up a ring fell out of her pause and rolled about an axis with a noise that was clearly perceptible. The bar was super quiet like a grave yard and as such even a needle dropped on the floor would generate a sound wave, also because no one dared make a noise or moved.

The noise got the attention of the president general and he stared at the ring in astonishment!. Wanting to get a clearer and a closer look, he bent down to pick it. Upon Diana noticing he was going to pick her most valuable jewel, she hastily bent down to pick it but ended up grabbing Marks wrist, whose fingers, he had already use to pick up the ring.

For the second time, they locked gazes, Diana quickly withdrew her hands after that and exclaimed "sorry"and then she stood up, arranging her v neckline dress.

Mark picked up the ring and started scrutinizing it, he raised it above his heads and he caught sight of the initials K.O carved on the silver ring.

"Kelly Owens? It was the same ring his grandfather had given him for his eighteenth birthday. The same ring he lost at a night club party in a far away city he went to for a vacation. The initials K.O were that of his grandfather. He had raided and burnt down the night club party in search of this same ring. Then how?

"How could this lady be in possession of this ring? Could this be the lady I rolled in the hay with that awful night?" Mark murmured to himself.

"Sir!, That belongs to me! I'm feeling pressed,I need to exit this place!" Diana broke the silence.

"Lady, How did you get this ring? It belongs to me! You had the guts to steal it from me! At Sterling city, Five years ago at the night club? Deny it if you can! Do you know how much this thing costs?" Mark spoke with a rasped angry voice.

When the guest still lying flat on the floor saw this, they all unwittingly shook their heads, knowing that Diana has gotten herself into a big mess.

"It's none of your business, and I didn't steal it! For your information, it belongs to me" Diana replied starving to get her ring back!.

The past was beginning to crawl back! She intuitively knew she was from Sterling city but hadn't made a step to return back there since her accident and recovery. The more she was trying to escape from her past, the more she was getting close.

If she returned to Delta city, she would peradventure come across her ex husband who may claim custody of her kids even though she doesn't remember him. But, then again why does her kids have a lot of physical features that are common with this president General? What's their connection,if not a coincidence?

"I said it. You're the lady from the night club party!" Mark excitedly said to himself upon studying Diana facial expressions and seeing the black spot on Diana's neck. The black spot was the only thing she remembered more vividly about the lady he had sex with that night.

"OK, you can have it!"

"But " the burly bouncer behind wanted to speak but with a wave of Marks hands,he kept mute.

"Thank you!" With that said Diana took his pause and the ring and exited the bar.

"Richardson! Follow her! And Get me every details about her!" Mark ordered after Diana left the bar.

Richardson took along with him two burly bouncers and followed Diana up!

The guest still lying down on the floor were beginning to murmur if the duo knew each other. Because the attitude the president General had displayed was unlike him. He'd trash anyone who gets on his nerves up! But this seemingly ordinary lady whom didn't show him any respect at all got on his nerves and went away with it.

"The power of woman!" A dude said.

"Maybe, he is in a good mood.." another woman blurted.

The murmuring gradually erupted a noise and then a sound of a gun shot assembled everyone's thoughts back. The gun shot was up through the ceiling which sent a wave through every guest. And now the bar was back to quiet!.

Meanwhile, Diana exhaled deeply immediately she got out of the Bar. She never thought she could feel such fear!.

Her taxi at the moment just arrived, to her was a perfect timing and the next moment she boarded and was heading towards to pick up her kids from school. Richardson on the other hand, trailed her to fetch informations about her.

Back in the bar, Mark with his men had chased out all it's patrons. As for the staff, all of them, Leo inclusive was hurdling on the corner and squatting on the ground.

An agonizing cry ran out from inside the bar. Moreover, the sounds of the place being trashed was heard. Diana, couldn't make sense of as to why? Except her assumption of Maybe, they did something to evoke his wrath.

To be continued....
