“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 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

Miranda quickly ran into the hall with a confused expression on her face. “What’s going on?” She shrieked in horror. She could make out Tony Wilson through the fog and she grabbed onto his arm. “Where is the fire coming from?” Miranda questioned “I have no idea, I am as confused as you are” Tony Wilson replied to her, “everybody! Make your way out of the hall!” Tony Wilson announced in a loud voice. The workers in the luxe restaurant and hotel were aware of the commotion and quickly made their way upstairs where they found out that a part of the hallway was on fire and it was rapidly spreading. They brought out the extinguishers in the hallway and aimed it at the burning flame. The guests scrambled out of the hall while this was happening. The workers managed to put out the fire just in time. Meanwhile inside the hall, the smoke had dissipated and Isabelle gasped

    Chapter 179Sebastien and Isabelle waited for the interior decorators and when they finally arrived, Sebastien laid down instructions for them and also reminded them of the vision he had in mind. The interior decorators that Isabelle and Sebastien hired soon arrived and they began working. In no time, they were done with designing the hall. They reached out to Sebastien to update him. A few minutes later Isabelle and Sebastien walked into the hall. Isabelle’s jaw dropped as her eyes took in the beauty of the hall. The designers really outdid themselves and surpassed her expectations. “Wow” she exclaimed as she walked further into the hall, she ran her fingers against the gold velvety fabric the designers used as the table cover. She turned to look at Sebastien who equally had a satisfied smile across his face. “Do the decorations meet your expectations , sir?” The lead designer asked. Sebastien nodded, “you have done well. In fact, it met and surpassed my expectations. I am hig

    Chapter 178There was immediate silence as everybody gave the manager their full attention. The event decorators and the security guards had to put a halt to their activities. “I said, what exactly is going on here?” The manager had to repeat himself.“The situation I explained earlier. The event decorators hired by the horizon media company have begun their work” the receptionist explained, “that’s why I said this Mr and his wife can’t have their event here”The receptionist then turned to Sebastien and Isabelle and said, “I'd really appreciate it if you could tell your workers to vacate this hall. The ninth floor is still very much available”Isabelle nodded, she felt the 9th floor most definitely wouldn’t be bad. Sebastien on the other hand, adamantly shook his head. He wasn’t having any of it. “Do you have no idea who our boss is?” the security guards from horizon media asked. And a lot of chatters ensued between the workers. “Enough!” The manager of the luxe restaurant and hot

    Chapter 177The voices became louder as Sebastien neared the site of the commotion. He noticed a small group of people were in a heated argument and the majority of the people were clad in security uniforms. “What is going on here?” Sebastien’s voice was so loud and authoritative that some of the guards thought it was their boss speaking. “And who are you?” A buff man appeared from the small group of people. “I am Sebastien Hunt and I am using this hall for my wife’s after party. Are you all members of the security team that operates at this hotel?” Sebastien questioned. The buff man burst out in laughter, “I think our boss hired a comedian. Because this guy is definitely cracking some serious jokes” the man told his colleagues. Who also had snide looks on their faces. Sebastien was confused and felt disrespected. “I am not a comedian and this hall was rented for my wife’s after party. And you all can excuse us if you don’t plan on being useful to us here” Sebastien said firmly.

Sebastien and Isabelle already had everything mapped outThey arrived at the luxe restaurant a few hours earlier. When Sebastien came down from the car, he realized the exterior of the restaurant was grandly decorated. There was also a red carpet rolled out to the entrance of the hotel like they were expecting a VIP member.Sebastien was curious as to the person that made such arrangements because they never requested for a red carpet. Isabelle also had a puzzled expression on her face when she got down from the car. Sebastien thought that maybe it was just the designer outdoing herself, “come on, let’s go in” Sebastien nodded at Isabelle and she made long strides with her long slender legs to catch up with Sebastien. The manager of the luxe restaurant and hotel was at the lobby talking to a group of hotel employees when S
