Chapter 23


    "Please!" She screamed but Derick was ruthless and merciless. He doesn''t understand thenguage of


    mercy. He had spent ny percent of his life in the battle field.


    "He killed many officers, he deserves death," at that instant, he slit his throat, blood gushing out like


    heavy cloud emptying it''s rain.


    Wendi screamed, trying to free herself from Alessio''s grip. Alessio only released her after her brother''s


    head had fallen from his neck. Wendi rushed to his decapitated body and hugged it dearly, "Joe!" She


    screamed in pain. Her heart tearing apart, pain surging through her bones and marrows like blood.


    "Joe!" She cried in pain.


    She didn''t mind the fact that blood was spilling from his neck and soaking her own cloth.


    Many who watched couldn''t help but feel pathetic for Wendi. Wendi cried so loudly for ten minutes


    straight. She was in agony. She suddenly let go of her brother''s body and stood, she said angrily to the


    microphone, "Men of Aurora Ind, step forward."


    At once, all the soldiers that came with her from Aurora Ind stepped forward.


    "We are returning back to our country today," she said and the officers saluted her. Feeling very sorry


    for her.


    She carried her brother''s decapitated body from the floor, painful tears still dropping from her face. She


    looked at Donna in anger, then looked at Katherine. She turned to look at Alessio and then at Derick


    then she shouted to the microphone, "as from today, Aurora Ind and Western Ocean City will


    be mortal enemies. Either Aurora Ind destroys Western Ocean City or the other way round. But


    there won''t be rest until a city conquers the other." She swore inside the microphone.


    She ordered for her soldiers to pick up the bodies and heads on the floor then stepped down from the


    podium and marched away from the central field.


    The entire atmosphere fell into a deep silence.


    Derick was well aware that Aurora Ind is one of the best when ites to war. Their military men


    has outstanding skills. And for many years, Aurora Ind and Western Ocean had been living in


    peace. Sometimes, during war with other countries, they even seek for eachother''s help. But now, it


    seems a battleline has been drawn.


    Derick stood on the blood of the men that were ughtered and spoke, "there is no cause for rm.


    We have lived all our lives in the battlefield. Whenever they are ready, we will be ready as well."


    "Yes, sir!" The soldiers''s response sounded like thunder.


    Derick then went ahead to give a stern warning and that no one will be spared if caught trespassing his


    rules. Then he stepped down from the podium. At once , he sent a message to Katherine to meet him


    at her building.


    After Alessio had dismissed the soldiers. Katherine walked up to Donna who still had sweats on her


    forehead. She teased her, "aren''t you part of the Aurora Ind soldiers, why are you still here?"


    Took a while before Donna collected herself. She had luckily escape this trap she set for Katherine.


    "How is that your business?"


    "I have a feeling that Marshall will send you away cause you may be regarded as their spy when the


    war start," Katherine said.


    "I may actually be used to as a means to curb the uing wars between those cities so calm down,


    okay?" Donna said, unable to look into Katherine''s bold face. Afterall, she had dug a pit for her and


    instead of her to fall into it, she was the one who almost fell.


    Donna added, "you won''t always be lucky, General."


    "Does that mean you won''t give up? I have a feeling you were even behind how I got drugged at


    Wendi''s dinner party since it''s obvious you and Richard are working together," Katherine smirked


    meaningfully.


    Of course, Donna was the mastermind of this, she summoned courage and looked Katherine eyes to


    eyes, "if I can destroy you seven years ago, what makes you think I can''t now?"


    Katherine smirked, "you and Richard will suffer so much in my hand." She said in anger as the


    memories of seven years ago shed back to her memory. The pain she felt when she found out that


    this bitch was pregnant for her ex-husband was beyound measure.


    Donna scoffed but her face suddenly became serious, "are you seducing the god of war? I have seen


    hime over to your building multiple times?"


    "You are his fiancee yet you couldn''t ask why he had beening to my ce, what type of fianceé


    are you? You don''t even have the courage to question your own spouse, huh?" Katherine mocked.


    Donna gritted her teeth and spoke angrily," don''t be too happy cause you barely escaped this. I will


    bring you down, Katherine. The only way you can be safe is by going back to Eastern Ocean City."


    "I love how my presence is threatening your peace, " Katherine spoke and added, "it''s been seven


    years yet you don''t have a husband nor a child. But I already have three kids and a good career.


    Instead of focusing on ruining someone else, I''ll advise you spend that energy on yourself, maybe your


    life would be meaningful." Katherine then turned away from her.


    "How dare you!" Donna felt pained by her words and she couldn''t even hide it.


    Katherine turned back to her and said, "and don''t think I''ll ever forgive you and Richard for what you


    both did to me in the past. Including Richard''s mother. All of you will eat from my hot soup when it''s


    done." She spoke in parable and walked away.


    "Bitch!" Donna cursed underneath her breath then drove home. She was very angry that once she


    alighted out of the car, she kicked the door open but she paused on seeing Derick seated in the living


    room.


    She quickly withdrew her angry look and put on a pathetic look. "Marshall, I didn''t know that you are

    here."


    "Since we are in a rtionship, just call me Derick," he spoke.


    "Oh..." She walked up to him and sat at the couch beside him, "I''m so happy you are around. Should I


    get you a drink or prepare a food for you?" Donna immediately cheered up. Although she was known


    as Derick''s fianceé, she barely see him in her building. Infact, this was the third time he would be


    with her, he alwayse for a purpose then he will leave after he''s done.


    Donna felt lonely and jealous at the same time. She had learnt that Derick even sleeps over in


    Katherine''s building sometimes.


    "All of Aurora Ind soldiers have left. Apparently, they have be our enemies. Don''t you think you


    should go back?" Derick asked.


    "I have already signed my loyalty here. You can trust me, Marshall. My loyalty is here in Western


    Ocean." She said.


    "The Grandwar masters and the Grandwar kings held a meeting in my absense, they prepared a letter


    and sent it to me, one of their demands was for you to leave the base as your presence feels like a


    threat to everyone."


    "Marshall, leaving here will means not seeing you ever again. I can''t bear it," she immediately wanted


    to cry, "what can I do for the Grandwar masters and Grandwar kings to believe that my total loyalty is


    with Western Ocean?" She asked.


    Derick didn''t really like Donna. He hadn''t been able to ce why but she wasn''t just his preference.


    Infact, when he received the Grandwar masters letters, he was even okay with it cause he wants her to


    leave. Not because she''s a soldier from Aurora Ind but because he felt like she''s forcing herself on


    him.


    When Donna saw that Derick wasn''t saying a word, her worries increased, "I don''t want to leave here,


    please help me. Do something, please."


    Derick thought about Ian Joh, if Donna is sent away from here, Ian Joh won''t be happy about it cause


    that would mean his rtionship her would be distant.


    "I''ll see what I can do about it. But be careful, all eyes are on you since you are more or less like a spy,"


    Derick said and stood.


    "Are you leaving? Why don''t you take a shower? Tell me your favorite food and I''ll prepare it?" She


    stood, trying every means to make him stay.


    "I have something very important to attend to, "Derick said and walked away.


    Donna almost cried. She secretly followed after him and realized that he actually went to Katherine''s


    building.


    Is that the important ce he said he''s going? Donna gnashed her teeth in pain, "Katherine, I swear, I


    will burn you to ashes." She swore in anger and pain.


    Meanwhile, Samantha dropped a letter for Katherine. Katherine sat well on her bed and opened the


    letter, a little bit anxious about what the letter could contain.


    On reading the content of the letter, she was shocked to realize that it was a court order telling her to


    appear in court in nine days time. Apparently, Richard had sued her to court and is ready to im her


    babies.
