“Sebastien, I have to leave now”

Her mother had called her and Isabelle didn't want to linger. She had to look for a way to get something presentable for her grandfather, Master Wilson, in order to avoid her mother's wrath. 

Isabelle informed the nurse she kept in charge of Sebastien that she was leaving. 

Not so long after Isabelle left, Sebastien suddenly quivered and sat up, straightening his head. He widened his eyes in shock and exhaled deeply.

“What am I doing here?” he thought to himself. 

In the next second, he clutched his head with his hands, an excruciating headache assaulted him as a sea of memories flooded his mind. 

********************************

“Sebastien you've been called upon to lead the war against Alemand and protect the malinfania as the Son of the famous god-of-war family. We trust you wouldn't let us down” 

“Don't you dare disappoint us”

********************************

“God of war, we've been fighting and we've never lost any battle. We think it's high time you get promoted to another rank” 

“God of war, we've won the battle! We've won! we've won!”

************************************

“Even the president hasn't given us as much victory as Sebastien's family has. I think they need to be voted in as the president”

“Yes! We need to make them more dominant in malinfania” 

******************************

“Alemand empire has suggested a ceasefire so that alemand and malinfania could be at peace. If Sebastien continues in this war he might lose his life as I have overheard. Alemand empire wants peace but only at the condition that Sebastien would kill himself”

Sebastien's family was worried when they heard this as they didn't want to lose their eldest son and at the same time malinfania needed to be at peace. 

“I have a suggestion,a medicine that'll fake his death…and hide his identity and alemand and malinfania will be at peace. A win-win situation”

Sebastien's family agreed, unknown to them the medicine was meant to make him handicapped.

On the night of the wedding, the medicine took effect and Sebastien became handicapped and the news spread round the town which made his wife's whole family a laughing stock in tabia city, salomia member state (another state distant from Gatto)

And that was the beginning of their hatred for Sebastien.

***************************

It was Isabelle's touch that stimulated his brain and brought him back to his normal state of mind.

Sebastien fumed in anger and clenched his fist in an attempt to resist the urge to punch a wall. That's how angry he was.

“The president's family! Lucas! I can remember he was the person that gave me the medicine that day. It's time I pay them a visit and get my revenge for what they have put me through. Fortunately my identity as god of war still remains hidden…” 

Sebastien remained calm after a while but he was extremely bitter and his heart longed for revenge. 

He knew Isabelle would have suffered because of him. She chose to stay by him despite all odds.

And she never complained. She was indeed a good wife. 

Sebastien picked up his phone and called his most trusted man.

The call got through and his friend picked on the first ring

“Leo, it's me”

Loud music echoed from the phone. It was obvious that Leo was having a night out. 

Leo's excited voice was heard “Boss, is it really you? Where have you been?! We weren't permitted to locate you. If not I'm sure we would have found you since”

“Don't worry, I'm fine now. I had some issues but I'm okay now” Sebastien assured her.

“Who tried to harm you, Boss?! Tell me the person and I'll locate them and end their entire generation.” Leo said angrily

“It's okay. I told you I'm fine now” Sebastien snapped. He didn't want another person to be involved in this matter. He wanted to deal with the president's family alone.

“Just wanted to let you know that I'm Alive and I'll be coming to visit soon . That's why I called”

“Alright” Leo replied.

 and with that Sebastien dropped the phone.

*********

Meanwhile, at master Wilson's mansion the birthday celebration was currently ongoing. Everywhere was beautifully decorated.

Almost all the members of the Wilson family were present. Except Theo, Isabelle's brother.

After a while, it was time for the presentation of gifts by the grandchildren. Master Wilson sat on a luxurious leather seat as each of his grandchildren presented their gifts.

Everyone gave master Wilson their gifts and when it got to Isabelle's turn she brought out a green small hand knitted scarf and presented it to Master Wilson.

“Grandfather, I spent nights without sleeping just so I could make this for you and I even made it in your favorite color. I hope you love it”

People began to stretch their necks to get a view of the gift Isabelle was presenting to Master Wilson. When they saw what it was they couldn't control their laughter. What a miserable gift they thought.

Miranda, Isabelle's cousin, snickered and said, “out of all the things you could give grandfather you decided to give him a scarf. How are we even sure you made it? It looks used or what do you guys think” Miranda asked two of her friends who stood beside her and they immediately agreed with her. 

“It isn't used! I spent precious time knitting this. I know the effort I kept into this” Isabelle tried to defend herself.

Miranda walked closer to Isabelle and took the scarf from her using her index and thumb as if she was afraid of getting dirt on her hand. She then sniffed it and said, “I said it, it even smells unclean. This is unsafe for grandfather!”

“Enough, enough” master Wilson collected the hand knitted scarf and kept it with the rest of the gifts. 

Just then Miranda's phone rings and she picks up and tells the person to come inside the hall and that she's waiting for him. She looked so excited as she described the way into the main hall.

    Chapter 186 “I’m coming to your city” Those few words were enough to let Miranda know that it was game time. And this time, she was more than ready to have revenge. And she made up her mind to not back out no matter what. They were not able to properly plan the execution of their plans the last time due to how Miranda left. Miranda had booked a venue at the outskirts of the city where she could meet with Lucas without any disturbances or distractions. ********************************** “Your cousin has been able to settle the debt she was owing the luxe company” Sebastien announced to Isabelle as he walked into the bedroom. Isabelle turned to him, the surprise evident on her face, “so soon?” She asked, she didn’t expect Miranda to be able to settle the bill this quickly, “my grandfather probably had a hand in this. I’m sure he gave her the money” Isabelle said, jumping to conclusion. “Well, that is not impossible,” Sebastien said, agreeing with his wife. Isabelle

    Chapter 185‘I can’t believe his audacity. This situation has made people look down on me. Tony shouldn’t dare speak to me this way” Miranda thought to herself as she paced the length of her room. She felt sad that master Wilson was not even willing to help her. She thought the control she had over him was really strong. It was quite unfortunate that he managed to stand his ground even after her persistence, given that she went to meet him again after asking initially. Miranda picked up her phone and did something she would have never imagined herself doing anymore, she dialed Roland’s number. Roland and Miranda ended their relationship in an awful way. She promised herself that she wasn’t going to request for his help anymore, no matter how bad things might get. But, look at where she found herself. “Hello…” she said immediately Roland picked up the call. “Who is this?” His deep baritone voice filled the room. Miranda closed her eyes, reminiscing past moments for a few seconds

    Chapter 184“You have brought great shame to the family!” Master Wilson complained as soon as he and Miranda walked into the Wilson’s family mansion. “I’m so sorry, grandfather” Miranda apologized, she was no longer crying at this point but her eyes were swollen. Her attempts at shedding tears for pity failed woefully. The manager of the luxe restaurant and hotel did not spare her one bit. The hatred she felt towards Sebastien and Isabelle doubled as she replayed the entire experience over and over again in her head. “So, how do you want to go about everything now?” Master Wilson asked, settling into the couch in the sitting room, “I don’t understand, what do you mean by that?” Miranda questioned him. “How do you plan on getting the money needed to settle them and also the formal apology to Horizon media” master Wilson explained what he meant Miranda collapsed into the chair opposite master Wilson, “I don’t know how to go about the money, grandfather” she mumbled, her head lower

    Chapter 183 The next day, “I’m scared,” Isabelle confessed to Sebastien who was pulling on his clothes. “Why is that?” He asked “Miranda.” Isabelle said with a sigh. “Miranda? What has she done again?” “Nothing. For now. I am worried about what she’s going to do, the next trick she’s going to pull off because she’s good at stuff like that” Isabelle confessed. “Our evidence is so solid. There is no way she’s escaping this” Sebastien said in a bid to assure Isabelle. Isabelle nodded, “yes, that is very true. Our evidence is solid” she agreed with her husband. “So, we can not be disgraced by her. Instead she will be put to shame” Miranda said, trying to assure herself. Sebastien nodded, “exactly. I’m quite confident that will be the case” he adjusted his tie and patted his collar down before turning to look at Isabelle, “ready?” He asked Isabelle nodded, “more than ever” ******************************* The room was filled with dignitaries of the company

  • Chapter 182: the mix up

    Chapter 182For a lot of reasons, Isabelle felt lighter after that conversation with Violet. She felt more in control of herself and made a vow to herself to not disappoint the people that believe in her.‘You got this’ she mumbled to herself before locking the office door. The sound of her heels echoed in the hallway. Isabelle made her way into the boardroom where the staff were already awaiting her presence. As soon as they sighted her, they rose to their feet as a sign of respect and they remained that way till Isabelle took her seat at the head of the table. There was complete silence afterwards. “Good morning, everyone. It’s great to see you all and thank you all for joining today’s meeting” Isabelle started on a really polite note before proceeding with her speech, “To begin with…” the meeting lasted for an hour. Isabelle felt a bit of satisfaction after the meeting. She had handled the meeting well and the workers accorded her with respect. ********************“And with

  • Chapter 181: private living quarters

    Chapter 181The weekend was finally over and Isabelle resumed her duties as the managing director of the Wilson’s family company. At first, she felt ashamed and discouraged because of what happened at the after party and she wanted to use it as a reason to not resume official duties that day. But after a few words of encouragement from Sebastien, she was able to get over that feeling and she retained that same energy while walking through the doors of the Wilson’s family company. She was the managing director and so many people would love to be in her current position. That was the mantra Isabelle kept on replaying in her head. She made her way to the elevator, and as the doors slid open, she found herself face-to-face with Miranda.“Hi cousin,” Miranda greeted with a smile that didn’t meet the eyes. Isabelle nodded, “Hello, Miranda” as the elevator doors slid shut. “Are you aware of Grandfather’s health condition?” Miranda asked a very obvious question. “I know he is recovering
