Derrick soon arrived at the prison and then parked before the building. He stepped out and watched as the kids stepped out one after the other.

Then he lead them to inside the heavily secured building, he lead them directly to Katherine's cell.

Katherine stood at once and seeing her kids. She ran towards the gate that sealed her in and held the gate tightly, "Marie, Michael, Mark..." Her eyes immediately became teary.

"Mom..." Marie called and reached out her hand to touch her mom. Seeing their mom in this state breaks the children's heart.

Derrick took a distance away to give the kids and their mother their private session. He then placed a call across to Donna and once she answered, he asked, "are you home?"

"Yes, Marshall." Donna answered.

"I'll be there shortly," he said and hung up.

Then he watched as the children cried. Katherine tried to comfort her kids assuring them that she would be out in a few days. But even her did not know when she will able to step out of this cell.

After a while, Derrick walked up to the kids and told them, "we need to leave now. I'll allow you to come here whenever you want to see your mom."

"Big man...when will my man get out of here?" Marie asked with a very pale look.

"As soon as the truth is out. I'm working hard on it, don't worry, okay?" He answered.

"Marshall," Katherine called and he set his gaze on her, "Marie is sick, can you please tell Samantha to take her to the hospital."

"Definitely," Derrick answered and took the kids away. Although the kids were unwilling, they knew they had to leave. Katherine cried so hard as she watched her children leave. She couldn't even hug them.

Derrick drove the children home and told Samantha to take Marie to the hospital for treatment, afterwards, he drove over to Donna's house.

On getting there, he stepped down from his car and walked in.

"Marshall!" Donna saluted at once.

Derrick went to sit on the couch in the living room and spoke, "I have some questions to ask you."

Donna sat slowly and asked, "Marshall, please go ahead and ask."

"You and Katherine were once bestfriend, how is that? I thought you have lived all your life in Aurora Island?" He asked.

"That's right. Katherine and I became friend when I came to spend some time here in Western Ocean City with my father, lan Joh," she answered. "But our friendship didn't last."

"But you aren't on good terms with her, right?" Derrick asked.

"Honestly, I do not have grudges against Katherine. Of course, she still keeps grudges against me but that doesn't mean I keep grudge against her. I can count the number of times I have seen her since I got here," Donna said.

Derrick observed her keenly as she spoke and then nodded. Once he stood, Donna quickly stood and spoke, "Marshall, are you leaving already?"

"Yes." Once he took the first step to walk away, Donna quickly ran to stand before him, with a pitiful face, she cried, "Marshall, I've not been happy at all since I came here. Although you declared me as your fiancee, you have not given me the slightest attention. It hurts."

"I've been busy," he answered.

"Marshall... I do see you go to the Supreme building where Katherine lives. You seemed to spend more time with her, yet she's not in any relationship with you. But you have ignored me, who happens to be your finaceé," she said this softly with tears rushing out of her eyes.

"Katherine and I are married. It's normal for me to want to spend more time with her," Derrick knew this was supposed to be a secret but he thought it was best to tell her.

"Marshall..." She held her chest, "Marshall...you married her secretly even eventhough you have me as your fianceé?"

"I have married her before lan John brought you over. I agreed to make you my fiancee because I felt indebted to lan Joh. Ian Joh had never asked me for anything eventhough he had been good to me over the years. His first request was to make you my fiancee, I didn't want to break his heart by telling him that I was already married," Derrick let out the truth.

Donna's heart sunk low into her belly, so Katherine and Derrick had been married all these while? It's no wonder he always go to the supreme house often.

"Marshall, this hurts," she let out with tears streaming down her face.

"I need to leave," Derrick said and walked away from her.

Clearly, he didn't have the slightest interest in her.

"Marshall, if I can't have you then no one can," she mumbled determinedly.

She sunk to her seat as soon as Derrick was out of sight then took out her phone and placed a call across to Julie, she cried to her telling her about the truth she just found out.

"That bitch is married to the god of war? Don't worry, your father and I will work on it as soon as possible," Julie promised.

"Mom, please make it fast. Although Katherine is in the prison now, the god of war still didn't show the slightest interest in me," she lamented.

"Just don't worry," Julie said. "Trust me, okay."

"Okay mommy," Donna then hung the call up.

In the evening of the following day, while Derrick was in his office, he received a message that he has a visitor with the name 'lan Joh." He immediately ordered for lan Joh to be allowed in.

A few seconds later, the door opened and lan Joh walked in.

Derrick stood to honor the old man. Without this man, he wouldn't be where he was today. Infact, he would have thought lan John was his father if not that he confessed to him that he found him on the mountain and decided to raise him as his son. How could he not respect him?

lan John walked over to him and hugged him, "son!" He said with a smile.

The two adults disengaged from the hug then Derrick gestured respectfully for the man to sit.

Ian Joh beat around the bush for a while before stating his main point of coming here, "Derrick, why have you been making my daughter sad?" Ian Joh said with a very sad look.

"Father..." Derrick sighed, "it's not easy to like someone who just pops out of nowhere. I agreed to have her as fiancée only because of you and I even made it public. But I can't force myself to like her, can I?"

"I know you can't force yourself to like her. But you haven't even been giving her attention. You practically ignored her like she meant nothing to you. Derrick, you can't keep making my daughter sad despite all what I have done for you," Ian John said.

"Father, what do you want me to do?" He asked in a gentle tone. He already made his point known, he can't force himself to like someone.

"Let her move in with you to the Supreme house. Please my, son. That way, it will be easy for you to give her attention. Derrick, just to be sure, the kids that Katherine have are not yours, right?"

"They are not mine," Derrick answered.

Ian Joh took a couple of seconds before he spoke again, "what do you think of my request? I want my daughter to spend time around you, please?"

Derrick hummed and adjusted back to his seat, as if giving what lan Joh said a thought.

"The Supreme house can contain four families, it's as big as that so it wouldn't be a problem if she's staying there instead of just abandoning her in that house she's staying," Ian John said, "plus... As you can already see, my daughter isn't a type that cause trouble. Please let her in."

"I'll think about it," Derrick said.

"Son, that's just the same as saying 'no.' I have been out of her life for many years and feel regretful about it. I want to make her happy for the rest of her life. Please, my son," Ian Joh pleaded.

After many seconds of a suspenseful silence, Derrick spoke, "Okay. I'll let her in."

"Oh! Thank you so much, son," Ian Joh said and checked his wrist watch, "I have some matters to attend to at home, I'll take my leave now."

As soon as lan Joh spoke, Derrick stood and escorted him out. He also waved him bye respectfully.

He turned back and walked back to his seat. His countenance became colder than i already was. Why was Donna using lan Joh to get him to do what she wants?

Well, since he had promised lan Joh, he would do just that.
