Beloved Wife Of The God Of War
Chapter 48

"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 room where Richard and Alessio were.

"Please don't hurt me, god of war....please," Richard immediately fell to his knees and pleaded. He had also heard of how brutal Derrick is, would he spare him.

When Richard saw the cold look on Derrick's face, he quickly turned to Katherine and pleaded, "Katherine, please don't let him kill me. I swear on my life, I'll forget the fact that you tried to kill my father. I promise, Infact, I don'g hold any grudges against you anymore. Please forgive me. Forgive me, Katherine." He begged earnestly, "remember the beautiful moment we shared together? You can't watch him kill me, Katherine."

"You wanted to rape me, I think you deserve death," Katherine said ruthlessly.

"I didn't really mean it, honestly. Why would I ever do such to you? Please Katherine," he begged and even kowtowed before her repeatedly.

Yet, Derrick's face remained cold, same was that of Katherine.

Richard's heart was already on his throat at this moment, He was scared of Derrick's words, he said he would end him, that may mean that he would kill him. Oh no! He wasn't ready to die.

He crawled like a few months old baby to Katherine and begged with tears already falling from his eyes, "I'm not ready to die. Katherine, please, plead on my behalf to the god of war." He cried hard and kowtowed, this time, placing her hands on her feet.

"How dare you touch her!" Derrick roared like a furious Lion and kicked Richard away. He flew a distance away until he crushed on the wall of the room.

Alessio was shocked at what just happened. Katherine's eyes were also high in the sky in amazement. The way he roared and kicked him away was so sudden, no one was expecting it.

Richard was already coughing blood as the kick he received was so heavy and hard on him. If that he was not strong, he probably would have died.

"Bring him to the garrison and tie him on the pole beisde B field. I will use this bloody civilian as a scape goat to others," he commanded Alessio who immediately ran to Richard and handcuffed his hand to the back.

Derrick then gestured with his head for Katherine to follow him outside. As soon as they got outside, they walked up to the car and Derrick drove her away.

When both adults got to the supreme house and stepped down from the car, Samantha ran to Katherine and hugged her, "Katherine, I'm so glad you are back. Marshall was so worried when you weren't around."

"He was?" She asked, almost forgotten that he was right behind her.

Samantha nodded and led her inside quickly.

Katherine and Samantha discussed for one hour before both women retired to their room to rest.

When it was the afternoon of the following day, Katherine went on to check Coleen who he had heard was madly injured. She wanted to know why the robbers had injured him.

On entering his ward, she saw him looking pale, she walked to him and called, "Coleen."

Coleen turned to him slowly and said weakly, "Katherine.... Katherine..." His mouth shivered and his face went absolutely pathetic, "you made it out of the kidnapper's den? I'm so happy." A drop of tears dropped from his eyes.

Seeing the confused look on Katherine's face, he continued, "while urinating at the toilet, I suddenly heard gun shot. I was worried about you that I immediately ran out of the toilet but to my surprise, you had already passed out. I charged at the robbers and tried to quickly collecct gun from one of them but I was hit on the head with the gun by one of them, I lost balance at once and they took advantage of that to beat the hell out of me."

"Katherine, I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you. I really wished," more tears dropped from his face even as he set his pathetic face on her.

"Coleen, why would you risk your life? What if they had killed you?" Katherine asked in concern.

"I just couldn't watch those men take you away. I don't want you to regret accepting my invite to the dinner," he said pitifully.

"Still..." Katherine sighed. "Anyways, I'm glad you are still alive. Coleen... I know we are friends but stop taking such risks for me. The last time, you literally lost your promotion just because of me." She said.

Coleen sighed and looked away.

"Thank you, Coleen. I'm not trying to be ungrateful, trust me. I really do appreciate what you did. Thank you so much," she said. She thought Coleen was angry at her and that he had turned his face away because of that.

"It's okay, Katherine." Coleen said.

"I'll check your reports with the doctor attending to you and see how I can help you to heal faster," Katherine said.

"Okay," he said and Katherine walked out.

Coleen angrily picked up his phone that was beside him and called Donna. Once she answered the call, he spoke furiously into the phone, "she better not replace out something is odd cause she's about to check my medical report."

"She won't. I have everything under control, Coleen. Remember that winning her trust is most important here."

"I already won her trust, what's next? I'm tired of all these nonsense," Coleen said.

"Coleen, be calm. I'll tell you what to do when it's time. For now, remain friends with her and make her trust you totally. Don't forget I'm watching you," Donna said.

Coleen groaned in frustration and hung up. He had just been dressed up to look like someone that was badly injured but he wasn't actually injured. But he had to be made to look that way so that Katherine wouldn't suspect that he was behind her kidnap.

At the Burnett's mansion, Burnet and Julie walked out of the house, straight inside their car. These were the adopted parents of Katherine.

On getting inside the car, Burnett started the car and began to drive, they were heading over to Nannh Tammy's house.

Many years ago, Burnett was the one who liased with the doctor in charge of Kate's delivery. He had agreed with the doctor to sell Kate's child to him then tell Kate that her child died.

So once Kate delivered, the doctor brought the baby to Burnett who was standing by a corner of the hospital then he quickly walked away. Burnett looked at the little babygirl and immediately walked over to where his wife Julie was. He handed over the baby to her and they both rushed home.

But Kate's hard and painful labor surprisingly continued. After another seven hours of hard labor, she delivered another bouncing baby boy.

The greedy doctor could have just told Kate one of the two kids died but he called Burnett and asked if he needs the babyboy. Burnett didn't need the babyboy as one was sufficient to cure his shame of barreness. But if the boy grow up under miss Kate's care, he might replace the girl with them later, probably by reason of resemblance.

Burnett then commanded for the baby to be sent over to him. A few hours later, the baby was delivered to his doorstep. Their nanny then was an averagely old but beautiful woman called Tammy. She was in her early forties then.

Burnett gave Nanny Tammy the child and rented an apartment for her, she was to take care of the little boy there until he grows up.

Ever since Nanny Tammy and the little boy left the Burnett's house, Burnett had not gone to check on them cause he really didn't see any reason to.

But today, Burnett and Julia are on their way to the apartment they rented for Nanny Tammy decades ago. They hoped she was still there.

Julie had told Burnett that Katherine had found out the truth that she was Mrs. Kate's daughter. Burnett became very troubled and decided to replace Nanny Tammy so he can replace that little boy of that day who apparently was Katherine's brother.

That little boy wasn't Charles. Mrs. Kate gave birth to Charles three years after she gave birth to Katherine and that boy.
