Chapter 9
Meanwhile, Donna had been invited to the Burnett's villa. She was escorted here by two hilux cars that
were filled of soldiers. Once her car parked, soldiers got down quickly and opened the door of the car
to her. Since she was an high ranking officer, she has the right to pick junior officers to escort her if
she's going outside of the military base.
She stepped down glamorously and walked inside the main building, she was welcomed by the three
people seated majestically in the room, amidst these three people were Sharon and Richard, while the
other person was Julie. Julie and her husband, Burnett were the adopted parents of Katherine. These
people were the one who set Katherine up years ago for the murder of Charles, a son of a very
powerful family in the city and untimately sent her to prison.
Donna was the biological daughter of Burnett and Julie, they gave birth to her two years after
adopting... stealing Katherine from her real parents. Burnett and Julie did that cause they were barren
for many years.
Although, at present, Burnett and Julie no longer project themselves as Katherine's real parents, based
on the secrete conspiracy between them, they had forced Ian Joh to act as Donna's father. They knew
that it will be impossible for Donna to ever get close to the god of war but with the help of Ian Joh,
whom the god of war trusted the most, Donna would be able to get closer to him.
And indeed, their conspiracy work. Donna was now the fiancee of the god of war and everyone in the
city is aware.
The three people seated in the room welcomed Donna politely after which she sat with pride. Her pride
had reached the sky ever since she was announced at the fiancee to the god of war. She knows that
even kings must respect and fear her.
"Donna, Richard and his mother had come to seek for your help. Ronald's father is sick and none of the
doctors were successful in helping him heal. But we have heard so much about the Surgeon General
and how outstanding her medical skills is, you can easily let Richard meet her with your influence in the
military, right?" Julie asked.
Donna remembered how kind Richard's father is to her in the past. Mr. Caldwell, Richard's father even
once helped their family when their family company was capsizing.
As for Richard, Donna left him seven years ago to go to Aurora Island with a mission to join the military
so she can get closer to the god of war. She never really liked Richard, she only seduced him to keep
an affair with her because she was jealous of Katherine. She felt like Katherine had all the good things
while she's left with nothing.
Richard also didn't mind that she went to Aurora Island, afterall, the pregnancy she was having for him
then dissolved due to miscarriage, Richard also never really loved her, he just enjoyed how good he is
on bed. Although Richard and Donna were no longer in a relationship, they weren't enemies at all.
They had only used each other in the past for their own selfish advantage.
"Richard, you should have just come to me directly and ask, you don't have to inform my parents,"
Donna said.
"I didn't even know that you are back in the city, I have been occupied with so many things plus my
father's sickness is keeping me distressed," Richard explained.
"I'll help you of course," Donna said and looked at the other two elders seated in the room," please
excuse Richard and I."
"Alright," the two elders stood and walked away from the room.
"I have gone to the military base before but I only stood, waiting helplessly for hours but the surgeon
General never attended to me. Can you set up our meeting?" Richard asked.
"I can, "Donna said. "Though the Surgeon General is higher in rank than me but I will use my influence
as the god of war's fiancee to set the meeting up. But if this works out, you must know that you also
owe me a favor in the future." She said. Donna wasn't a type that help liberally.
"As long as my father survives from his terrible sickness, I'll do what you want in the future," Ronald
said.
"I think I still have your old mobile number, I'll call you once I set it up," Donna said arrogantly and
stood.
"Oh, thank you, Donna. Please make it fast," Richard said desperately.
"Alright," Donna then walked out.
An hour later, Donna entered the medical unit in the military base, there were a lot of injured soldiers
there receiving treatment. Everyone in the base has now recognized Donna. Not just because she's the
new officer who just came from Aurora Island but because she was the god of war's fiancee. A position
that many people think is impossible to attain. A lot of people are of the opinion that the god of war is
without a heart. How could such a person have a fiancee? Many assumed that Donna's beauty must
be extraordinary while others believe that Donna had seduced the god of war.
Even military officers gossipis, they were humans afterall.
"Where is the general?" She asked a senior officer in the medical unit. The officer had gloves in her
hands and was just coming out of a ward.
The officer saluted her at once then spoke," "The surgeon General is not on seat at the moment." He
suddenly added, "oh! She's here."
Donna turned and surprisingly saw Katherine. This time, Katherine was dressed in her uniform and her
rank shone beautifully on her shoulder. Katherine purposely ignored Donna as if she had never seen
her before and walked straight to her office.
Donna thought she was dreaming, was she the surgeon general? She had to confirm from an officer
nearby and she was told that truly, Katherine was the surgeon General.
Huh! She even has an higher ranking than her? Donna was angry. She clenched her fist and didn't
know what to do. She thought she would just meet up with the surgeon General and make her see
Ronald.
Nevertheless, she walked up to Katherine's office. Katherine's office was large and looked like the
office of a president. Donna didn't know when her mouth formed an O shape. She was so amazed but
she became greatly jealous of her.
She does not like it when Katherine is higher than her in anything, she doesn't want Katherine to have
anything she doesn't have. Why is this bitch always a step ahead of her? Donna thought angrily.
Katherine glanced up at Donna who was still trying to recover from the reality that had just dawned on
her.
"Surprised?" Katherine smirked.
"I'm still the fianceè to the god of war. I have a upper hand over you," Donna said with a gritted teeth.
Katherine scoffed at her foolishness, 'fiancee?' she repeated in her mind. Of course she had heard that
Donna was Derick's fiancee but she was not moved. Who wills more power to a man, his fiancee or his
wife? If only Donna knows that she had been secretly married to Derick, she will realize that being
Derrick's fiancee is just a baseless title.
"What did you want?" Katherine asked. She has a lot on her desk and didn't have time for her drama.
The expression of jealousy remained obvious on Donna's face, nonetheless, she spoke, "Richard's
father is sick, I'll pay you any amount you demand to treat him."
"Any amount?"
"Yes, just state it," Donna said, she was already thinking of every possible ways to derank her or make
the military dismiss her. Her presence in the military is already a threat to her.
"I don't need your money and I won't help that cheat of a guy's father." Katherine said. "You even have
the gut to come and ask for my help, did you have short term memory? Don't you remember how you
got pregnant for Donald? You even set me up to be..." She shook her head and commanded in anger, Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"get out!"
Donna furrowed her brow, she felt insulted and embarrassed, "how can you speak to the fiancee of the
god of war this way? A disrespect to me is a disrespect to the god of war."
"If you did not get out, I'll throw you out," the more Katherine remembered how this bitch ruined her in
the past, the angrier she became. Her fist were already clenched and she was trying hard to hold her
anger.
"Do your worst, you have no power to send me out. I can only leave here when I'm ready to. Dare to
lay hands on me and see the wrath of the god of war." Donna threatened.
"Officers!" Katherine shouted and five officers ran inside at once, "throw her out of the building."
