Today is the forth day of the General's training and Katherine had been working hard nonetheless for promotion despite knowing that Derrick is likely to send her back to Eastern Ocean City in four days time. She didn't think he would change his mind about that since he believed that if worse comes to worse during the war, she wouldn't be by his side but by the side of the god of war of Aurora Island.After she was done with the General's training, she was exhausted and went to sit on a bench that was under a shield. She had sweats across her face and she even forgot to bring her handkerchief.While panting heavily, she heard a voice behind her, "have this."She looked towards the person and saw one of the generals who happens to be a male pointing an handkerchief to her. He was averagely handsome and averagely tall. He looked modest and clean, and hence, earned a grateful smile from Katherine, "thank you."After wiping the sweats from her face, she looked up and realize the guy was st
Richard sighed and rubbed the tip of his nose, "how many more minutes did she ask us to wait for?""Thirty more minutes," she answered.Twenty minutes later, an heavy rain began to pour. They could have gone to hide in their car but their car was a distance away from the military base. Civilian's car are only permitted to be parked 12 meters away from the military base's main gate.The rain beat the mother and son mercilessly, Sharon was already having fever even as she gritted her teeth hard in the cold."Mom, I'm so sorry I can't help you in this case," he also had his arms wrapped around himself, shivering in pain but untimately expecting to see Katherine. At least, all their suffering will be worth it.Ten minutes later, a car drove slowly out of the military base, the window of the car lowered a little and Katherine spoke, "get in."The mother and son rushed in at once. Twenty minutes later, she pulled over the car before the Caldwell's mansion. Richard stepped down at once and h
Katherine began," well, miss. Gina and I were cellmates in prison. She was very nice and truthful, I have never seen her lie and infact, she taught me most of the medical skills I know. When I came out of prison, I wanted to study to become a doctor but Richard wouldn't let me, he preferred to be a housewife so because of the love I have for him. I agreed. But as soon as we divorced, I pursued my medical career but in the military field. But I'll say Miss. Gina's skill help me."Derrick suddenly winced in pain and sighed heavily.'Marshall, it's your hand, right? It still hurts, isn't it? I'm working very hard on getting the perfect solution that can cure it." She said."I'll be fine, don't worry," he said as he meditated over what she said, "did you think she's telling the truth when she says she's my mother.""Honestly, yes. I also think she's telling the truth when she said she had agreed to join the spy sent to Western Ocean City just to be able to see you and confess to you. I th
"Katherine."She quickly closed the scroll in fear and hoped that the person hasn't read anything from the scroll. Looking up, she saw Coleen."Hey Coleen," she said and watched as he sat."When did you get here though?" She asked, just to be sure that he had not been standing here for too long."Just now, what's that in your hand? You seem serious with it?" Coleen asked."Oh this! Just a book..." She didn't know exactly what response to give so she changed the topic and said without thinking, "you look good today, Coleen.""Really?" Coleen asked with a furrowed brow."Sure... So how have you been?" She asked."I'm fine. Tomorrow is my birthday though," she said."Are you for real? Happy birthday in advance, Coleen." She said with a smile."Thank you but I'll be glad if you agree to go on a date with me tomorrow. It's my birthday and because tomorrow is the final day of the General's training, I won't have time to throw a party but if you could go out on a dinner date with me tomorrow
Everyone was eventually dismissed from the from the training ground, Kathrine was so tired that she just managed to walk to where her car was. Resting on the body of the car, she decided to put a call across to Samantha to come and drive her over to the house as she was so exhausted."I'll drive you," she suddenly heard a masculine voice behind her. She turned her bloody face tiredly to the person and saw Derrick, handsomely dressed in his white camo."Marshall!" She called softly. He opened the backdoor of the car and carried her before she could even say a word then placed her gently at the backseat of the car.Then he collected the key of the car from her and then hopped into the driver's seat."Marshall, I'm so honoured to be driven by you," she said.He hummed only but didn't say a word until he pulled over before the Supreme house. Once he got down from the car, Katherine had already sat upright and was about to step down. He held her right arm and helped her step down."Easy,"
Katherine had barely taken a few steps away when she suddenly felt heavily dizzy. She remained standing but was scared to take another step lest she fall.Derrick appeared before her and said to her, "climb my back.""Marshall!""Do as I've said."She climbed on his back obediently and he backed her right inside her room. She got down from his back gently and said gratefully, "thank you so much, Marshall. I'm so grateful."He nodded and walked out of her room.Katherine slumped to her bed tiredly and slept off.The final task was done in the morning and amidst the few people that won were Katherine. The task was supervised by the god of war himself.However, Katherine was sad that Coleen wasn't present. If not because Coleen helped him, he would have probably been here too and even get promoted. She then decided to go and check him at the hospital.As she turned, she saw a car pull over beisde the field and the person who stepped down from the car turned out to be Coleen. He had a nec
When it was 10PM in the evening, Derrick became greatly worried about Katherine's whereabout. He had watched Katherine leave the supreme house around 4PM, she should have returned to the base since. Why would she stay this late out at night?He then stood and went to Samantha's room, on getting there, he knocked. The room opened in no time, Samantha's eyes were very puffy as she had been told bedtime stories to the kids for three hours before they eventually fell asleep. Samantha trains as a soldier and performs daily tasks given to her by her superiors and at the same time, take a good care of Katherine's kids so she barely have time to rest."Did Katherine tell you where she went to? Or when she would be back?" He asked."Marshall!" She saluted first of all and then spoke, "she did told me she was going on a dinner date with Coleen, one of the generals.""Well, it's after 10PM and she's not back yet, did you think she will come back soon?" He asked."After 10? Katherine doesn't stay
"Coleen is in the hospital, receiving treatment, he was badly injured by the men." Derrick said. Katherine then became confused. She had just suspected Coleen but after hearing that he was badly injured, she didn't know what to think again.Seeing how confused she look, Derrick spoke, "don't worry about it, I'll get to the root of the matter."Katherine nodded."It must have been so hard on you," Derrick said and pulled her into a hug. Oh! What a sweet moment for Katherine. She had once fantasized what being in his hug would look like, now it was happening. She wrapped her hands around his broad back and rested comfortably on him. This time, she forgot he was the god of war.His scent was so adorable plus being in his warm hug warmed and calmed her heart. Can she remain in his embrace forever? Katherine wasn't ready to let go of the hug.About five seconds after Derrick had pulled her into a hug, he let go of her slowly and said, "let's leave."Then they walked out to the large living
