“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 165“Go and meet the leader of the Chesterfield investment company and plead with him” master Wilson commanded. “Grandfather, are you sure that is the right thing to do?” Isabelle asked warily. “Did I stutter?” Master Wilson inquired, following her question. Isabelle shook her head“So what’s the problem?” Master Wilson asked. “I was just wondering if it’s the right thing to do. What if it makes the situation here worse” Isabelle said. Master Wilson shook his head, “don’t bother about that. Just do what I ask of you” Isabelle stepped out of the office and headed straight to the lobby where the head of Chesterfield investment company was dishing out orders to his subordinate. Isabelle approached him, “I’ll like to have a word with you” Isabelle said as soon as she got to where he stood. The man’s firm glare landed on her and she felt the urge to take a step back because of the intensity of his glare but she stood her ground. “What is the issue?! I really don’t have al
Chapter 164: indebted
Chapter 164 As the weekend approached, Isabelle became more and more burdened, especially since it appeared that Sebastien wasn’t even putting any effort into the whole situation on ground“It's the weekend,” Isabelle said as she approached Sebastien who was scrolling on his phone while sitting on the hammock chair in the patio. “I’m very much aware, sweetheart,” Sebastien responded, acknowledging her presence. “Today marks the day that the Chesterfield investment company takes over the Wilson’s family company” Isabelle said calmly, “and it’s all my fault for making them annoyed”“Shush!” Sebastien cautioned her, “I don’t want to hear anymore of that. I already assured you that it would be taken care of”Isabelle nodded, “it seems impossible now, though. What could we possibly do to stop them? Hell, the employees are already seeing them as the new executives in the company” Sebastien nodded, “that wouldn’t be for long. Just take my words as they are” Isabelle nodded, “Alright th

Chapter 163The next day,Isabelle was surprised when she got to the Wilson family’s company and spotted master Wilson sitting behind the desk in her office. “Good day, grandfather” she greeted, surprised. “Hello, Isabelle” master Wilson responded to her greeting. Isabelle immediately noticed that something was wrong. “Grandfather? What are you doing here?” Isabelle asked confusedly. “What does it look like?” Master Wilson questioned her in return. Isabelle raised her brows, “I don’t understand, grandfather” “I’m working,” Master Wilson responded. “But, grandfather…” “… this is my office” Isabelle told him as if he wasn’t aware of it. “Not anymore.” Master Wilson replied to her and she felt her heart shatter in a million pieces. “What do you mean not anymore?” Isabelle questioned. “This position was awarded to you by me, right?” Master Wilson asked. Isabelle nodded in affirmation. “Wonderful. That means I have every right to do whatever I want with it. Including taking th
Chapter 162: the takeover
Chapter 162 Few days later, The whole issue of the AI clip Isabelle and Sebastien presented to master Wilson had died down and normalcy had been restored to an extent. Now, master Wilson had gotten a call earlier that week and after that call, he became very restless because he was reminded of the debt he owed the Chesterfield investment company. They threatened to come to the Wilson family’s company that week and cause havoc and also most likely shut it down. Master Wilson was in a difficult situation because he didn’t have the money to pay them now. Especially not after the fraud he just experienced. He explained the whole issue to Miranda and she was also really terrified for the fate of the Wilson family’s company. “Grandfather, you know what?” Miranda questioned. “What is it, dear?” He asked, stress marks obvious on his forehead.“So we can be safe, we just have to do whatever is requested by the Chesterfield investment company members.” Miranda suggested. “But I can’t risk
Chapter 161: give me her position
Chapter 161A few days later, At the Wilson family company, Miranda strolled into master Wilson’s office with a frown on her face. “What’s wrong?” Master Wilson questioned, his voice laced with concern Miranda sat on one of the office chairs with her hands folded. “Grandfather, I’m quite disheartened,” she said. “What’s wrong, darling?” Master Wilson questioned, taking off his reading glasses and placing it on the desk in front of him. “I was just thinking of how it’s been two weeks since I was, once again, wrongly accused by Isabelle and Sebastien” Miranda started. “And?…” ’master Wilson asked, urging her to go on. “And you’re yet to punish her for her acts.” Miranda finished “And it’s not too late, is it?” Master Wilson questioned. Miranda expected him to have done something about it since he promised her that night that he was going to make sure Isabelle doesn’t do something like that again. And by saying that, Miranda had the feeling that giving Isabelle a punishment was

Chapter 160Later that day,Tony Wilson sat in the lounge, Sebastien’s words replaying in his mind. He really didn’t know what to do. He had told Sebastien that he was going to come up with another way to expose Miranda but he totally didn’t have any idea of how he planned on making that work out. “You really thought you could outsmart me, right?” Miranda sneered. Miranda’s voice pulled Tony Wilson out of his train of thoughts. “What do you want, Miranda?” He questioned calmly. “What did they promise you? Huh?” Miranda taunted him as she got closer to where he sat. “You seem to have forgotten whose side you should be on. You seem to have forgotten whose side is safer? Need I remind you?” Miranda chuckled, “or would you rather get bitten to learn a lesson?” “Can you just leave me?! Let me be!” Tony Wilson said, his voice going up a notch. “Of course, I’ll leave you. But only with a warning” she said then pointed her well manicured index finger at him, “you better make the right d
