Beloved Wife Of The God Of War

Chapter 50

Katherine was busy doing some pressups at the small field beside the grandmaster's quaters when she

heard a voice call her name.

"Katherine!" She paused and looked up, seeing that it was Derrick, she stood at once and saluted him.

"Come with me," he said and Katherine followed him to the upside of the field. Overthere, was a house

that contained most of their weapons. There were more than a million amunitions inside the tall

building.

Both adults stood right before the house and then Derrick spoke, "the time for the war is getting near."

Katherine quickly spoke, "I know it's time for you to send me back." Katherine already knew that he

would send her away anytime from now.

Derrick glanced at her for a few seconds before taking his face away. "The paper you said my mother

told you to give me... Did you know what it contains?"

Katherine shook her head as she looked at his side profile.

"She said in the letter that I shouldn't divorce you for any reason," he answered.

"She really said that?"

"Yes but I think that's unfair. She can't force me to be with someone I'm not willing to be with just

because she's my mother." He said.

Katherine's heart sunk into her belly on hearing those words. Her mood became sour, Oh! So he wasn't

willing to be with her? Of course, nothing serious can ever come forth from their relationship. It has

always been nominal and temporal.

"When are you sending me back?" Katherine asked after a few seconds of silence between them.

"I'm not sending you back anymore. I'll honor my mother's last request, at least." He said.

Katherine glanced at her, "you don't have to force yourself to be with someone you are not willing to

stay with. I'll understand if you send me away."

He faced her directly and said to her, "when it's time for the war, I need you to stand by my side and not

by Aurora Island's side." Then he turned from her and walked away.

Does that mean he's not sending her away again? She thought as she watched him leave. Someone

suddenly called her name behind her and she turned. Seeing Coleen, she smiled," hey Coleen."

Looking at Coleen now, Katherine could tell that he looked much more better. "I'm glad you healed

quickly Coleen. What are you doing in the Grandmaster's quaters?"

"I thought you were here so I just came to say 'Hi' you don't mind, right?" Coleen asked, he was all

smiles.

"Of course, I don't mind," she said.

"Okay, let's take a walk, please," Coleen said and Katherine agreed. It was already late at night so they

just walked like friends through some parts of the base, as they walked, they chatted and laughed at

random jokes.

At the end, Coleen escorted Katherine back to the mansion, he waved her bye before leaving.

Katherine looked at Coleen adorably as he walked away. She didn't know why she was liking him more

and more as days goes by.

"He's really a cool guy," she mumbled to herself and then turned to walk inside.

Whereas, there was someone standing by the front window of the supreme house looking through the

window as Coleen and Katherine walked in merrily. Once Katherine walked in, he saw Derrick.

"Marshall!" She saluted.

"Would you mind eating with me? I made your favorite food." He said.

She furrowed her brow and walked with him to the dinning table. After they had both sat, Katherine

checked the food and saw that it was indeed her favorite food.

"Marshall? You prepared this food for yourself?" Was he really that good in cooking, she thought to

herself.

"I told my cook to make it for the both of us," he answered.

"Oh!" Katherine exclaimed and nodded, Katherine couldn't wait to start devouring the food as the

aroma was already making her very willing to start eating. "Marshall, shall we start eating?"

"Yes," he said and Katherine immediately started eating.

"Once upon a time," Derrick started, his spoon had got the portion of food his mouth could take but he

hadn't taken the spoonful of food to his mouth yet, whereas, Katherine's mouth was already full.

When Katherine heard him speak, she paused chewing the food that was in her mouth.

"During one of the wars we fought for the country. Some soldiers from other countries came to lend us

a helping hand, their leader suddenly got very close to me. To the extent that, I began to trust him more

than Alessio that had been with me for years."

He concluded, "at the end, he betrayed me to the enemies."

Katherine continued chewing her food slowly, she had no idea why he was telling her this so she

asked, "Marshall, I'm so sorry to hear that."

Still yet to take a spoon, he spoke, "when someone suddenly gets close to you, you should be careful."

Then he took the spoon to his mouth and chewed the portion of food he got.

Katherine suddenly understood the meaning behind his story, "Coleen is just a friend."

Derrick only nodded and continued eating. Katherine felt like Derrick just probably didn't like Coleen

with her. Coleen is a good friend to her and doesn't look like one with ulterior motive so she ignored

what Derrick said and continued eating.

She was eating very fast but Derrick was eating slowly. Katherine observed him and thought that he

was probably a type that doesn't know how to eat faster.

All of a sudden, he began to cough. He stood and coughed even more. Katherine stood at once and

ran to him, "Marshall, what's wrong?" She quickly got some water and handed it over to him but he

didn't take it.

Then he rushed to the bathroom.

She was shocked. Why was he suddenly coughing? Samantha then appeared and saw Katherine

standing still in shock, "Katherine, what's wrong?"

Katherine looked at Samantha and explained what just happened. Samantha walked up to the table

and saw how spicy the food is. "What! Marshall doesn't eat spicy food."

"Are you serious?"

"Wait! You have been eating this with Marshall?" Samantha asked.

Oh! Was that why he had been eaten slowly? Cause he doesn't like spicy food.

Then Derrick appeared, he was calm now.

"Marshall, I'm so sorry. I had no idea you do not like spicy food," Katherine said.

Samantha saluted Derrick and quickly walked away.

"I just want to eat your favorite food with you," he said.

"Ha! Marshall, you should have let us eat the food you like. I may like it too," Katherine said.

"You may go to bed now," he said, looking intently at her. His gaze was so sharp that she literally felt

his stare boring holes inside her body.

"Okay Marshall," She saluted and walked away from the room.

That same night, Coleen and Donna met in the dark at the backyard of her house. "Now it's time to

move to the next step Coleen."

"Tell me what to do already," Coleen said impatiently. If not for his sick mother, he won't have agreed to

Donna's deal in the first place.

"You are to take Katherine to the amunition house tomorrow then tell her you have a surprise for her,

leave her waiting there and run as fast as you can." Donna said.

"And then what?"

"That's all you have to do, I'll handle the rest," Donna said.

"You have to tell me what the plan is? Remember I told you from the onset that if this involves killing

anyone then I'll opt out," Coleen said.

"Trust me, Katherine wouldn't die. Also, I don't expect you to get emotionally attached to her for any

reason cause I do not understand why you suddenly sounded like you care for her," Donna said.

"I don't care for anyone. I'm just doing my job. I'll do as you've said tomorrow, then send the money

immediately to my account or I won't be merciful to you," Coleen said and walked away from her.

"Jerk!" Donna gritted her teeth angrily as she watched him leave.

After Katherine was done at work the following morning, she went to meet up with Coleen. Coleen had

asked they hang out together this night and she agreed. Afterall, she enjoyed his company so well.

She and Coleen talked and laughed even as Coleen intentionally took her to the amunition house. On

getting there, they both sat on a rock beside it.

Coleen then pretended to receive a call then said to the phone, "I'll be there now." He turned to

Katherine and said, "Katherine, please give me a few minutes, I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Alright. But hope all is fine?" Katherine asked in concern.

"Yes," Coleen then quickly walked away.

A few seconds after Coleen was out of sight, Katherine suddenly heard the dogs guarding the

amunition house barking. She then stood and walked closer to the building to see why the dogs were

barking. She wondered if someone was inside. Only the Grandwar masters and Grandwar kings are

allowed into the ammunition house.

She would have gone to call one of the Grandwar masters at their quaters to come and find out what's Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

going on here but what if whatever is making the dog bark had already dissapeared.

Since she was still in her uniform, she brought out her gun and walked to the main door. "Is anyone

inside?" She shouted. She twisted the knob of the door and as expected it was already locked.

Then the dogs barking suddenly stopped, she waited for a few more seconds but the dogs still didn't

bark. She shrugged and tucked her gun back then began to walk away from the house.

She suddenly heard a loud explosion behind her, she turned and saw that the amunition house had

started burning.
