Beloved Wife Of The God Of War
Chapter 40

Someone suddenly snatched the paper in her hand from her and she turned at once, seeing that it was Julie who snatched it from her, she immediately tried to collect it back but Julie already saw the content.

"Oh! How smart are you, you already found out the truth," Julie said then she noticed how swollen her eyes had become, "oh! You were even crying...hahaha.." Julie scoffed.

She tore the DNA test result and said, "don't waste your time, Mrs. Kate and Mr. Wayne. Will never believe that you are their daughter. As far as they are concerned, you are only the murderer of their only son. You made them childless. They will never forgive you."

"You are the one who killed my brother, Julie," Katherine cried.

"Hahaaha...so you already found out Charles is your brother, huh? Well, I killed him, so what?" Julie added, "I had to kill him and made it look like you were the one who killed him cause Mrs. Kate and her husband are already suspecting that you may be their daughter. I can't let them to replace out that you are their daughter, my life will be ruined that way."

"For how long do you think you can hide the truth?" Katherine asked with a sorrowful heart.

"For as long as I'm alive, Katherine. Infact, knowing the truth is dangerous for you, you should watch your back," Julie said.

Another woman then walked up to them, this woman was Sharon, "Katherine, my husband is dieing, when will you come to treat him?"

"You need my help yet you are still arrogant? I'm not sure your husband's life means anything to you," Katherine said and walked away from her

She then drove back to the military base. Her mood was down and she couldn't afford to go home this way. Her heart is entirely messed up, she just needs to be alone so she drove around the base until she found a mountain. She packed right before the mountain and stepped down from the car.

Her life would have been more beautiful if she had grown up under the arms and cares of her biological parents. Her life had been nothing but filled with sadness ever since she had matured enough to differentiate right from wrong. Julie and her husband made life hell for her.

Katherine then began to step up the mountain very slowly, soon, she was on top of the mountain. She walked a distance into the mountain and sat dejectedly.

How can she ever make her biological parents believe that she wasn't a murderer and that she was infact, their biological daughter. Her heart was very heavy.

All of a sudden, she heard a hiss beside her and when she turned, she saw a very big snake crawling towards her, it was the snake that was hissing. She jerked up in fear, the snake has a very big head and it would comfortably swallow a human being. She turned and ran at once, she was so scared that she ran recklessly, she wasn't watching how the floor of the mountain were, all of a sudden, her leg slipped.

Falling would mean that the snake would catch up on her but she couldn't help the situation either, but surprisingly, a hand stopped her from falling. She looked up to see who was carrying her and saw Derrick.

She quickly shouted, "Marshall, there is a snake."

Derrick turned and looked towards the side she pointed to. He helped her to stand and faced the snake that was charging towards them.

"Marshall, let's run," she held Derick's hand and wanted to run with him but he stood firm.

"I'll kill it," he said. This time, the snake had raised his head up as if ready to strike.

"Stay behind me and watch," he said and Katherine immediately hid behind him. She was scared of the wild snake, she was even more scared that the snake may hurt Derick.

The snake striked at once, moving it's mouth forward in a quick succession but he guided it and striked the snake in the most sensitive part of it's neck. This wasn't the first snake he was killing, he had killed many wild animals during the times he was living in the mountains with Ian Joh. He had learnt the weak point of many wild animals.

The snake fell to the floor, struggling hard to regain it's strength, he striked it in the exact same place again. He did that repeatedly until the snake became lifeless.

Katherine was shocked to the gut.

He asked her, "What are you doing on the mountain?"

Katherine sighed sadly when she remembered her reasons for coming here, "I just want to spend time alone."

He looked at her for a few seconds and said, "I come here sometimes as well to have some private time and I've never been attacked by any wild animals."

"Could this be a set up again?" She said as if thinking.

"Perhaps. But anyone who would hurt you now must go through me," he said protectively.

Katherine nodded but didn't know what to say.

"What's making you sad, I may help," he suddenly said.

"Am I sad?" She asked. She had tried to maintain an expression that made it look like nothing was wrong with her. He placed his hand on her cheek gently and said, "It's easy for me to tell that tears had ran down through this cheek.

Katherine looked at his face like a baby would look at his father, it semeed as if he could see through her soul.

"If anyone born of a woman is hurting you, tell me about it and I'll handle it," he said.

"Marshall..." She opened her mouth cutely then she lowered her head. Why was he sounding so protective of her?

He caressed her hair to the back before taking his hands off her hair, "if the war broke out, whose side would you take? The father of your children or mine?"

Katherine didn't know exactly what answer to give. She had also thought about it and all she could pray for was for the war not to happen, "Marshall, can you please avoid this war?"

"No. Since you can't give a direct answer, I already know where you stand. I guess I'll have to send you back to Eastern Ocean City in a couple of days. Start preparing." He said and turned from her.

"Marshall." She called and walked up quickly to him, "My loyalty is with Western Ocean City but I won't be able to watch the father of my children get killed as well. I want to complete my mission before leaving, please don't send me away so soon. Afterall, Donna is from Aurora Island yet you kept her with you. She could even be a major spy for Aurora Island." Katherine said. She still had a lot of issues to resolve in Western Ocean City. She can't afford to leave now.

There is her biological parent's issue that is yet to be resolved plus she has skme important documents to retrieve from Caldwell's mansion and she must come to the end of these two issues before she can return back to Eastern Ocean City.

"I'll send you back to Eastern Ocean City in seven days time. I can't afford to keep you by my side anymore. As for Donna, I'll decide what I think is best for my city." Derrick said and walked away from her.

Out of fear that another snake could appear, she immediately stepped down from the mountain.
