Chapter 19
Two elders sat at the Burnett's villa. One of the elders was crying aggressively. One of the elders was
Julie, Donna's biological mother while the other elder present in the room was Sharon, Richard's
mother. Since her son hadn't returned from the military base since yesterday night, she knew
something was off.
"Sharon, you need to stop crying. Let's just wait for Donna, she will be here soon," Julia said to Sharon
but Sharon was scared and dusturbed. She knew her son broke the rules of the military by infiltrating
inside at an unpermitted hour of the night. She had also heard of how ruthless the god of war is. If he's
caught, he's definitely going down.
Richard was Sharon's only son and she never wished to loose her son. Her husband is already sick...
Loosing her son will make her entirely devastated. Sharon couldn't help but continue crying even after
Julie had tried to comfort her.
Then there was a sudden knock on the door after which the door gave way. Donna then walked in. She
was dressed in a white top and blue short skirt. She was just dressed like a simple civilian in order to
avoid unnecessary attention.
Once Sharon saw her, she stood at once and cried, "Donna, don't tell me anything bad happened to
Richard?" Sharon had her heart palpitating.
"Richard isn't dead but he is kept in one of our cells. He was caught," Donna said as she went to sit.
Sharon heaved a sigh of relief that her son was still alive, but how will she get him out of there?
Sharon then sat and quickly asked," how will I get him out of there?"
Donna sighed, "I'm still thinking of a way. But however way I planned to get him out, it will be very
risky."
"My daughter, please try," Sharon pleaded. She want to see her son as soon as she can.
"You have to go to court as soon Richard is out and claim the custody of your grandchildren from
Katherine. Don't wait for Katherine to perform a DNA test anymore, she obviously wouldn't let that
happen so just do what you have to do," Donna said.
"Sure, but please get him out first," she said.
Donna sighed, "I'll try my best."
At the military base, at exactly 12 in the midnight, three of the officers who followed Wendi from Aurora
Island began to infiltrate the prison that Richard was. They were able to silently slaughter the sixteen
soldiers guarding the prison and then helped Richard to escape. This was the handiwork of Donna.
Once Richard was out of the military base, he sped away like he was being chased.
Donna was soon informed by one of the three Aurora Island soldiers that they have helped Richard
escaped.
Donna who had her legs crossed on her bed smiled, now that Richard is out, he should claim the
custody of the children.
Around 5PM in the evening, Derick received an information that sixteen soldiers were found dead and
that Richard had escaped the prison. That same instant, Derick ordered for the investigation of the
soldiers who committed such grevious crime.
By 7:10 the following morning, the tree officers had already been caught. They were made to kneel at
the big podium in the central feild and half of the officers had gathered to watch their execution. The
other half were busy with tasks assigned to them by the god of war.
Derick walked over to them and raised the chin of one of the men, he was dissapointed that the
soldiers that committed the crime were from Western Ocean City. "Western Ocean City soldiers should
be more loyal than those from Eastern Ocean City and Aurora Island." He expressed his
dissapointment at the soldiers.
"Who sent you?" Derick asked the captured soldiers. The soldiers's mouth shivered and looked into
eachother's eyes as if wondering if they should spill the truth or not.
Derick removed his dagger and was about slaughtering one of them. He was someone who doesn't
waste time on unnecessaries.
"The Surgeon General," two of the capture soldiers said at the same time.
"Surgeon General?" Derick mumbled, "which of the surgeon General sent you?" Since there were two
Surgeon General in the base.
"General Katherine," one of the captured soldiers said.
The fuck! Derick was shocked.
The second captured soldier added, "she said he's the father of her children and that he can't watch
her die so he commanded us to help him out. She promised us to take responsibility if we get caught."
Derrick clenched his fist in anger. How dare this woman do such?
"Keep this men," Derick ordered and the three men were immediately taken away from the podium.
Although all the military men were shocked, no one dared to say a word.
Derick was trying to hide the look of dissapointment on his face, he didn't want them to suspect that he
had anything in common with Katherine.
Katherine was amongst the officers that were absent. Though she could have been here but she didn't
want to witness the brutal slaughter of the men.
Everyone already knew the fate of Katherine. Eventhough she's sent from Eastern Ocean City to help
the the injured soldiers of Western Ocean City, she had crossed the line and must face the wrath of the
god of war.
After two minutes had passed, everyone began to wonder why the god of war was being hesitant.
People didn't know what to think as they had no idea what relationship exist between Derrick and
Katherine.
Derrick wouldn't have mind executing her on the spot as that will warn others to thread carefully. But if Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
his mother hears that he kills the woman he told him to marry, she will be very sad and angry at him.
Derick was torn between following his rules or bending his rules for the sake of his mother.
"Bring me Katherine," he ordered Alessio and Alessio sped away at once.
Katherine received Alessio's message when she was injecting a soldier. She finished well firstly before
going out to meet him, "Hey Alessio, what's the matter?"
She however noticed Alessio's face was cold. He didn't look friendly like he used to. "Your presence is
demanded at the central field."
Central field? Katherine's heart flew three kilometers away before it returned back. Although she's the
surgeon General, she had never imagined staying before hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
"What's the situation? What's wrong?" She asked with a palpitating heart. Though she was sure she
had done nothing wrong but she was still very scared.
"You will find out when you get there. Let's move," he walked away quickly while Katherine followed.
Soon, they were both inside the car.
Katherine's heart was beating as if it will fall off her chest, she could barely breath again. As they
aporoached the central field, she felt like she was choking. Eventually, the car pulled over and they
both stepped down.
The officers had their eyes set straight to the podium and no one dared to turn to look at Alessio and
Katherine who had just arrived. Everyone knew Derrick was angry and no one wants to be a victim of
his anger.
Alessio and Katherine then walked up to the large podium to meet Derick who stood gallantly. Derick
was dressed in his khaki uniform and combat boot. His five stars ran shone beautifully on his shoulder
making him give an aura or superiority and distinction.
Alessio took steps back leaving Derrick and Katherine on the podium.
Whereas, Donna had an evil smirk on her face. "Bitch! You almost ruined my career by throwing me
inside that room that Richard was. Your fucking ex husband almost raped me." She mumbled angrily,
"now you will suffer the greatest humiliation before everyone or even get slaughtered before everyone."
hahaha ...she scoffed.
Donna was the one who set those three soldiers who confessed up to be found. Those three soldiers
weren't the actual soldiers she used for the escape of Richard. The soldiers she used for the escape of
Richard were Aurora Island soldiers, and not Western Ocean City Soldiers.
She had a deal with those three soldiers that even if they die, their family will reap greatly from it.
Donna was glad her plans was working perfectly well.
"Three soldiers were here a couple of minutes ago and confessed that you sent them to free Richard,
the man who crossed our line." Derrick said into the microphone, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Katherine was shocked, she also spoke into the standing microphone before her, "this is a clear set up.
I didn't do anything of such." She added, "can I see these soldiers who lied on me?"
"But who could have freed Richard in the base other than the only person she has relation with? The
soldiers's words are reasonable to believe," Derick said.
"They are lying. Plus Sergeant major Donna is also close to Richard. Infact, Sergeant major Donna
was once pregnant for Richard so I'm not the only one who is close to Richard," Katherine defended
herself. She needed no soothsayer to tell her that she was clearly being framed by Donna.
