Beloved Wife Of The God Of War

Chapter 16

Once Katherine dropped her children home, she drove over to the medical department but was

surprised to see that everywhere was calm and in order. Wasn't she informed that there was an

emergency? While wondering, a female officer walked up to her and saluted her, "General, thank

goodness you came quickly. We had some guest from Aurora Island and they would be leaving soon."

"Oh! Lead me to them quickly," Katherine had misunderstood the emergency situation. She thought it

was a chaos happening in the base, she didn't know that it was as a result of some unexpected

visitors.

Once she arrived there, she saw three officers seated nobly, the three officers were all generals too.

They stood to salute her and she saluted them as well. Afterwards, she sat. The low ranking female

officer who lead her here had already left.

Katherine wondered what this sudden occasion is for, the generals went on to introduce themselves

after which they stated their purpose. Amidst the three officers from Aurora Island were two men who

looked like they were in their early forties and a woman who looked young but agile, her name is

General Wendi. She's a surgeon General at Aurora Island but she had been deployed here to help

Katherine in her work.

"So General Wendi will serve here for nine months, I hope that you can work together with her?" One

of the male Generals from Aurora Island said.

Katherine didn't feel good about this new development. Why would they bring in another Surgeon

General? Do they think she's not capable of her work?

"We should," Katherine answered.

The two male Generals spoke a few more words after which they left. Leaving Wendi and Katherine

alone in the large office.

"It will be my honour to work with you, General Katherine. I have heard a lot about you," Wendi said.

Katherine shrugged, "you are welcome, General Wendi." Then she stood.

"General Katherine..." Wendi called and Katherine turned to her. "Could you please attend my welcome

dinner party this night? I'll like for you to be present there."

Katherine thought about her request and said, "that shouldn't be a problem." Then she walked away. It

wasn't as if she was jealous of the new Surgeon General's presence, she just doesn't like the fact that

someone who has similar rank and function as her is here. She must report this to Derick.

She returned home and showered after which she rested on the bed. She was hoping that Derick will

come home before she will go for the welcome dinner party of Wendi but until she finished dressing up

for the dinner, Derick wasn't present.

Katherine informed Samantha about where she was going, the children had already slept since it was

already late at night. Once she walked outside of the building, about approaching her car, she sighted

another car drove in.

She watched as a tall military officer stepped down. And that was Derick. "Where to?"

"To the welcome dinner party of General Wendi. And I really have some things to discuss with you,"

Katherine said.

"What's that about?"

"Maybe when I'm back," Katherine said, making an attempt to walk towards her car.

"Say it now," he demanded.

Katherine paused and checked her wrist watch, well, she still has a couple of minutes to spare. "Why

do you have to bring in a new Surgeon General? What are you indicating, that I'm not capable of my

job or?"

"We didn't ask for Aurora Island military's help. They were the one who reached out to us to supply us

with the surgeon General and a few medical officers. I accepted the offer cause Aurora has top notch

skill in military tactics, their medical department is also one of the best. Plus we still have thousands of

soldiers there in our medical center that needs to recover quickly. I think this would ease your job, don't

you think?" Derick took his time to explain to her.

"I just don't feel comfortable having someone else that sits in the same position that I am." Katherine

expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Bear with it. You have just five months and a few weeks left to spend here. Wendi will not be here

forever as well. So endure," he said, standing straight and gallant.

She shrugged and mumbled, "not like I have a choice. I should get going now."

"Your dress," he suddenly spoke. Katherine looked at herself and didn't see anything odd about her

gown.

"What about it?"

"Isn't it too short?" He asked.

Katherine frowned. Since when did the kind of cloth she wears becomes his business. "Why are you

worried about that? I don't think you should. Bye." She got inside her car and drove off.

But Katherine couldn't stop wondering why he took cognisance of her gown. Not like he gives a damn

about her. That man only knows how to kill, she thought to herself as she drives.

After many minutes had passed, she pulled over before military Lounge A2 and walked straight to room

009, where the welcome dinner party was being held.

The beautiful room was occupied to the brim, soft music played in the background. Katherine loved

how the big room was beautifully designed. Everyone present here dressed like a civilian and they

mostly look beautiful.

While looking for where she could sit, a voice sounded behind her, "General Katherine."

Katherine turned and saw Wendi who was all smiles. "Hey General Wendi."

"I'm glad you came. This party wouldn't have been worth it if you aren't present."

"Oh no! Don't flatter me," Katherine said.

"Please come over here and sit," she then lead Katherine to the VIP table and made her sit. On that

table, only top officers can sits there.

Katherine sat and soon, some waiters came around and served cups of wine on her table.

Katherine enjoyed the music that played and it made her feel relaxed. Also, there was a large screen

that displayed the music video. She was lost in watching it. She casually took the cup of wine on her

table and gulped the wine in. The wine tasted very sweet. She could tell that it was of high quality.

She then set her eyes again on the screen, enjoying the music video.

Whereas, two people were standing at the entrance of the hall and were watching Katherine who was

seated and backing them. These two people were Wendi and Donna.

Donna and Wendi served together at Aurora Island's military. They were very close friends eventhough

Wendi seniors Donna in rank. She was the one who told Wendi to write to the top military officers in

Aurora Island to send her here to help sick officers. But actually, that wasn't what Donna wanted her to

come and do, she just need someone who is as high in rank as Katherine.

Donna realized that since Katherine is of higher rank than her, there is little to what she can do to her.

But she believes that Wendi will be able to help her carry her schemes.

"She has drank from the cup," Wendi said to Donna.

"I can see it, General," Donna said.

"So have you arranged for the man that will have sex with her yet?" Wendi asked. She was actually

nervous about the whole thing but she just had to do this for her friend.

"You can go and enjoy your party, Wendi. I'll take it from here," Donna said.

Wendi nodded and walked away from her.

A couple of minutes later, Katherine's eyes started becoming blurry. She was feeling very intoxicated

eventhough she drank a little from the drink. Then she stood up at once and looked around for the

toilet. She wanted to go somewhere private before she will loose consciousness of her surrounding.

Once her eyes managed to catch a sight of the toilet, she immediately walked towards it. Though as

she carried her legs, it felt heavy and heavier. At some point, she felt like she was entering a blue sky

rather than a toilet. Eventually, she managed to walk into the large toilet. She held onto the wall and

wondered what was going on with her.

Is the drink spiked? She thought to herself. All of a sudden, she smelt a strong masculine fragrance,

she looked up and saw a man standing before her but she couldn't quiet fugure out whom the man is.

However, his scent was familiar.

"The last time I have a taste of you was seven years ago," a familiar voice spoke. As blurry as her

sense of reasoning was, she was still able to process that this man before her would be Richard.

Richard? Inside the military base at this time? What could he be doing?

She felt a strong grip on her hand all of a sudden, she tried to yank her hand off his grip but she wasn't

successful. Her bones and marrows were getting weaker and weaker. She was scared of what was

about to happen.

She felt herself being dragged further and further, she tried to resist the pull but it was impossible. All of

a sudden, she found herself being pushed fiercely. She thought she would land on the floor and hurt

her back but surprisingly, where she landed was felt like a bed.

Her heart skipped even more. Seems this is a set up. She has to do something quick.
