Katherine arrived at the Supreme House- it''s one of the houses built for top officers in the barrack. The

officers. Ordinary civilians are not allowed to enter the military base unless on special invite.
Her three kids were also with her, she had informed them that they would be moving to a new house
but she didn''t inform them that there would be a man living with them in the house.
Katherine didn''t know if the god of war would be at home or not, she was nervous but she was also
bothered about whether the man would like her children or not. She hadboured so hard to make her
three kids happy all their lives, she didn''t want a man that will cause them sadness.
"Mommy, this house is more beautiful," Marie chirped making Katherine retort with a smile. The two
boys are usually quiet unlike their sisters who found pleasure in speaking and chatting. She''s an
extrovert while her two brothers were introvert.
"Let''s move," Katherine heaved a sigh of relief and walked with her three kids inside the house. On
getting to the entrance, she pressed the door bell and soon, the door gave way.
There was an officer standing before her and the kids. He saluted Katherine as soon as he saw her,
Katherine also saluted the man. Katherine had saluted him back because she had sighted the three
stars rank that hung beautifully in his shoulder. The officer was a Lieutenant General.
"Miss. Katherine, I have been ordered to wait for you until your arrival, pleasee inside so I can
show you around," he said simply.
Katherine nodded and walked in with her kids, the kids couldn''t stop adoring how beautiful and
exorbitant the house was.
After the officer was done showing Katherine all the hooks and crannies of the house, he made an
attempt to leave but Katherine spoke up," officer, can I know your name?"
"Sure, I''m Alessio Patrick." He responded with a smile and added, "plus I''m the direct assistant to
Marshall."
"Marshall? The god of war?" Katherine asked to be sure.
"Yes, General. So you can befortable around me, okay?" Alessio smiled.
"Sure," Katherine smiled and watched him walk out of the building. Katherine should have asked
Alessio when the god of war would being around so she can be prepared.
The children were already in their respective rooms getting used to their new environment. As for
Katherine, she was in her room setting some of her clothes to the wardrobe, just when she was almost
done, she heard the loud ring of a doorbell and her heart skipped at once.
Katherine was sure that no one woulde here other than the god of war. She became very nervous.
This new husband of hers, she knows nothing personal about him other than what people say about
him. She looked at herself in the mirror to be sure she was looking good. Seeing how her face is, she
quickly applied a light powder and when she was satisfied with her look, she walked out of her room.
As she approached the door, her heart kept beating like it will fall off her chest. At the end, she opened
the door but dissapointment shed across her face on seeing one of her colleagues, a female officer
from the Eastern Ocean City. Once the female officer saluted her, she spoke, "General, there is a man
with the name Richard Caldwell, he said he needs the help of the Surgeon General, what should I tell
him?"
Her ex husband is here? Katherine smirked and said, "tell him to wait for me at Base 1."
"Alright, General," the female officer said and walked away.
Katherine walked back inside and changed into a decent civilian dress, just a red shirt and ck skirt
and ck high heel. She informed her children she would be back soon then she walked outside.
She can''t wait to see all those who betrayed her in the past lick her foot. From her house to Base 1
would take five minutes by walk, she could have taken a power bike or tell a driver to drive her over to
the ce but she wanted to intentionally dy him.
Five minutester, Katherine arrived at Base 1 and saw Richard standing directly under the afternoon
sun, he looked pitiful and helpless, no matter how powerful a civilian is, once they enter the military
base, they are regarded as nothing but amon civilian.
Richard soon caught sight of a familiar fugure approaching her, as the woman moved closer, she was
stunned to see that this woman was his ex wife, Katherine.
''What is this barren chick doing here?'' he thought to himself. Once Katherine was before him, he
smirked, "Katherine, are you one of the cleaners here?"
"Cleaners?" Katherine was enraged with his words.
"Or... Could you be..." Richard thought about what job Katherine could be doing for the military, "maybe
amon cook or something... You are just a nonentity who can''t amount to anything in life. I know
that someday you will crawl back to me and beg to be epted back."
Katherine was amused by the words of the foolish man before her who had mistaken her identity, "if I
didn''te back to beg you for good seven years, what makes you think I wille back begging you
someday?"
"What are you here for?" Richard ignored her question and asked, his face full of disgust.
"I''m the Surgeon General that you want to see, I''ll have invited you to my office but you are not worth it
so I intentionally ordered that you stay under the sun. What do you need me for?" She asked.
Richard suddenly bursted into a sardonicugher, "has poverty made you gone insane now? You!
Surgeon General? Hahaha ...." He scoffed even louder, "the Surgeon General''s name is Juanita and
she''s even from Eastern Ocean City. You even have the gut to im to be the Surgeon
General...hahaha... What are you trying to do? To make me feel like you have made it in life or what?"
"Listen Katherine, all your documents are with me, moreso, as long as I''m alive here in Western Ocean
City, you will never amount to anything good. Don''t think I will forgive you for sleeping with another man
while we were married." Ronald said.
Katherine''s smirk remained in her lips, "Fine, you can keep on waiting for the Surgeon General then."
Katherine then walked over to the Military''s medical base, shemanded the the nurses there to
keep him waiting until night. Afterwards, she began to walk back to her house.
A car suddenly pulled over beside her, she paused but couldn''t see the person inside the tinted ss.
Perhaps, one of officers wanted to offer her a ride home.
The window of the tinted ss lowered gently and her heart almost flew away when she saw the
person holding the steering...the god of war!
Her mouth shivered but she tried to remain calm, she immediately saluted him, "Good afternoon,
Marshall."
The door opened by itself and he gestured for her toe in, Katherine then went ahead to sit then the
door closed. The door had an automatic opening and close.
It look very awkward that she''s saluting her husband on sight as though they never had any personal
rtionship. What was she supposed to do though? Greet him like a husband? He''s also the Marshall
so he must be addressed properly too.
As the car moved, Katherine didn''t have the gut to speak to him. She couldn''t even look at his face, she
was scared and she couldn''t hide it. Unlike when they first meet, she had spoken freely to him because
she thought he was a low ranking officer whom she canmand at will.
The car immediately pulled over before her new bongalow. The doors of the car in both sides opened
automatically and they both stepped down.
Without saying a word, they both walked inside. Once they got inside, he spoke, e with me to my
room."
"Yes sir," Katherine replied like a subordinate and followed him inside his room. The room was
obviously the master bedroom in the house as it wasrger than other rooms.
The god of war was dressed in a suit, one wouldn''t know he''s an officer with his dressing. He sat on the
office chair that was by the edge of the room and looked at Katherine who was standing still before
him.
"I believe you remember why we are married?"
"Yes sir," she replied.
"We are husband and wives now, be free!" He said. Only then did Katherine felt a little bit at ease. All
these while, she didn''t dare to address or speak to him like they were married but rather like a
subordinate to her superior.
"Just because I''m the Marshall doesn''t mean I''ll break the agreement we made a few days ago. After
six months, when you are about returning back to your city, we''ll divorce."
"Thank you," Katherine said, looking at his stoic face. His expression held so much power and his
broad shoulders were intimidating. Now that she looked closely at him, she was confused as to why her
triplets bore the same resemnce with this man. Is it just a coincidence?
"Bring your kids here." hemanded.
