Beloved Wife Of The God Of War

Whereas, Derick was seated on a kingly sized couch on the podiim. He was looking at the scene with a very dark expression. His concern was not only about his mother who would be saddened about Katherine's death but Katherine's three children as well. But what can he do? He had tried to help this woman severally but she obstinately refused his help.

"Not guilty," she announced.

Alessio's eyes deepened, "you still don't have a prove that you are innocent, why do you prove not guilty?"

Katherine's lips cured up into a sardonic smirk, "who says I do not have a prove?"

Alessio was stunned at her reply. Expecially how bold and courageous she looked even in the face of death. She didn't look timid like the last time the god of war invited her on stage.

Alessio comported himself and spoke, "we haven't seen any prove yet that claimed you are innocent. If you have one, you can still tender it."

Katherine turned and signalled to Samantha. Samantha left her colleagues and walked towards the jeep that she and Kathrine brought here. She opened the booth of the car and dragged out three officers from the booth of the car.

Everyone was stunned at the sight. Samantha pushed the three heavily chained officers to the podium and made them kneel.

"These three officers are from Aurora Island, they were the actual person who stormed the prison, killed prison guards and made Mr. Richard escape." Katherine spoke boldly.

Everyone was shocked to hear this. But many still doubted it.

"Then let's hear from the officers," Alessio said and turned to face the heavily chained officers, "do you admit to what General Katherine accused you of?"

"The three officers nodded guiltily, admitting their crimes shamefully. They weren't willing to do carry on Richard's escape but their boss, Surgeon General Wendi persuaded them. Infact, amidst the three officers who planned Richard's escape, one of them was Wendi's younger brother.

Tears fell from Wendi's face when she realized that the men she got to carry on Donna's despicable act had been caught. Donna had promised Wendi that she would replace her men with Western Ocean City's men, she had no idea that Katherine would outsmart Donna. And now, she's about to loose her own brother just because she's trying to help a selfish and despicable friend.

Donna was scared to the gut. How did Katherine find out? And why was she just revealing her proves now? Donna's legs were literally shivering. If she's caught to be the ones who sent these men, she will definitely be killed. Haa... She wasn't ready to die. But Donna was a little bit hopeful cause she didn't bid those men to do the job directly, she actually seeked the help of Wendi who in turn, set her men to do her job.

Alessio looked at Derick who sat with an expressionless face, it was as if he was asking him to help in this very complicated situation but Derick remain seated. Alessio knew at that moment that he has pushed the entire work on him.

"Bring the three men we had been keeping in prison," Alessio ordered. A few seconds later, those three men were also made to kneel by a side.

Alessio stood before the three men that had just been brought and then pointed to Wendi's brother and two other Aurora Island soldiers that were with him and said," these three men had confessed that they are ones who made Mr. Richard Caldwell escape. Which amingst you is telling the truth?"

The three men before Alessio were shocked to realize that the truth had been let out. Didn't Donna promise them that the truth will remain buried forever. Why should they keep being loyal to someone that can not even keep to her words. Their death would definitely be in vain now that the truth is out.

"I betrayed my own city," one of the three Western Ocean City soldiers kneeling before Alessio said.

"Lieutenant General Alessio, we have failed you. We deserve to die," the second man said, there was sincerity in their voice and most people could tell.

It dawned on Alessio that Western Ocean City officers were not the one who made Richard Caldwell escape but Aurora Island officers.

Alessio looked at Derick who immediately gave him the go ahead to slaughter the men.

Alessio removed his dagger at once. He wanted to ask them many questions like who made them do such dirty work and why they were ready to loose their lives for the person who made them do the work but he was grossly dissapointed and angry that he didn't ask any question. Afterall, Derick doesn't even question people before beheading them in ninety percent of cases.

Alessio slaughtered the men one after the order, in a few seconds, the heads of the three men were on the floor. Alessio then looked at Aurora Island officers, Wendi's younger brother and the two men with him.

"You have crossed our line and your punishment will be death," Alessio looked at Derrick as if asking for permission to slaughter them. Once he got the permission, he killed the first man by the left then the second. When Alessio place his dagger by the neck of Wendi's brother, Wendi lost all sense of her military morals and screamed, "he's my brother." She ran quickly to the stage and pleaded, "please don't hurt him. You can send him back to our city but don't hurt him."

Alessio was shocked to find this out. Derick realized that this was now beyond what Alessio could handle so he stood and walked up to the bloody stage. The podium was literally dripping of blood.

Alessio stepped back for Derick.

"Marshall!" Wendi sunk to her knees with tears streaming down her face, "Marshall, he's my only sibling. We have no mother and father anymore. He's wrong, I'll punish him myself but please don't kill him."

"Are you aware of Richard Caldwell's escape too? Are you part of the plan?" Derrick asked with a face totally devoid of emotions.

Wendi wanted to answer 'yes' but that will be foolish cause not only will her brother die, she's most likely to die as well. But isn't it better for her to die with her brother? She was the one who persuaded her brother to do this, she won't forgive herself is she let him carry this cup of suffering alone.

Donna knew that once Wendi confesses that he was part of the plan, she would be implicated too. Her heart began to palpitate, her mouth became totally dried of saliva, she began to feel an intense cold eventhough the wheather at this time was a little hot.

"Oh no, Wendi, don't confess," Donna prayed in her heart.

When Wendi was about confessing, her brother spoke, "my sister knows nothing about it. I and the two officers you killed carry on the act alone." He spoke boldly. He already knew his fate was to die but he wasn't ready to let his sister die. Although his sister was the reason why he was about to be executed and she doubt if he can ever forgive her. He remembered clearly warning her to stay away from Donna many times when they were all in Aurora Island but Wendi never listened. He had never liked their friendship. For an inexplicable reason, he just doesn't like Donna.

When his sister informed him that they would be moving to Western Ocean City to help their injured soldiers, he knew it was because of Donna that his sister wants to go. He warned her against it but she didn' listen. And whe Wendi informed him that he should help free Richard Caldwell from prison, he knew she was doing it for the sake of Donna. He refused many times but Wendi kept persuading him until he finally yielded, promising her that he and the two other men will never be caught. But now, they were caught and disgraced, about to be executed.

He was just a young officer with many dreams and aspirations, but for the sake of her foolish sister, he was about to end his life here.

Wendi bursted into more tears when she saw that her brother was trying to evade her from the crime.

"Why did you free Richard Caldwell?" Derick asked Wendi's younger brother. Honestly, he doesn't even know. He just knew that his sister wanted him to free her. He was very skilled in the use of gun and knives that was why his sister made him join the men to carry on Richard's escape.

"I don't know."

Derrick hated this kind of response and that's why he hates asking criminal questions. He just go ahead and slaughter them. He had only asked him this question because of his pleading sister.

"I'll have to kill your brother," Derrick said to Wendi. Wendi immediately held onto Derick's legs, something she had never imagined herself doing.

"Please marshall, be merciful," she cried.

Alessio immediately rushed forward and pulled Wendi away. But he wasn't rough with her since she was an high ranking officer from a city that offered to help them.

Derrick brought out his dagger and placed it on Wendi's brother neck.
