“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.
The guards opened the door to the main hall and Roland Knight, Miranda's boyfriend, walked into the hall with his head raised high. One look at him and everyone will know that he is a confident man.“Hi baby!” Miranda screeched and met him halfway, pulling him in for a hug. He reciprocated as he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up placing a kiss on her lips.The act of theirs caused people around to ‘aww’ in admiration.“I want to introduce you to my grandfather,” she said excitedly.He nodded his head in agreement, “Alright babe, let's go”. She took his hand in hers and they made their way to the center of the hall. As they walked side by side people turned their heads to stare at them. They couldn't get over how lucky she was to have one of the most sought after bachelors in the town.When they got to where master Wilson was seated, Roland bowed his head in respect and greeted him, “Good day, sir.”Miranda grinned, “Grandfather, meet my boyfriend Roland Knight. We'v
Everyone gasped, they didn't know grandfather could talk to a person like this.“Isabelle, you could have taken your retarded husband to the hospital rather than inviting him to my party!” Sebastien turned to look at Master Wilson and said, “What if I told you I have proof” Everyone gasped, how dare he challenge Master Wilson. Master Wilson nodded, “Then let's see”“No, there'll be no need for that grandfather. There's no point giving him a chance when he is clearly mentally unstable” Roland interjected, worried that Sebastien will expose him.“I agree, we shouldn't waste time on this non-entity” Miranda supported her husband.“Listen, let's be fair. Let's give him a chance to prove himself” Master Wilson said, he was very sure that Sebastien would just disgrace himself because with the way the emerald shone it couldn't be fake. Master Wilson then turned his attention to sebastien and said, “what do you need for the experiment?“Sebastien took slow strides towards master Wilson “I
Roland walked to where master Wilson sat and said “grandfather, I'm so sorry. I didn't know anything about this. My jeweler is responsible for this and as soon as I get home, I'm going to sack him. I promise to even bring a more expensive gift for you. I'm so sorry grandfather “ he then bowed his head waiting for grandfather's response.“There's no need anymore. The celebration is almost over. And I don't have two birthdays in a year” “But, I still—” Roland insisted but he was cut short.“I have other critical things to discuss today, like I've said don't bother about this anymore!” Roland walked shamefully to where Miranda stood.Master Wilson clapped his hand twice, signaling that the attention of the crowd, made up of his family members, was needed.“So, I have called everyone together. Not just for this birthday ceremony but also for the announcement of my next heir”This piqued the interest of the family members“My son will be most suitable, after all he is the first grandchil
Sebastien turned to look at Isabelle and took her hands in his, “Accept the offer, I am with you,I'll help you and I promise we will succeed”Miranda laughed, clearly over her earlier embarrassment, “Do you guys think this is a movie? This is real life, you can't just assure support with mere words. At the end of the day you both will be decapitated with bruises all over”“Two couples. One is dumb, the other is mad. Lovely combination. Do you guys even think it's possible to accomplish such a task within 3 days?! Do yourselves a favor and quit trying to be the next heir “ Tony supported Miranda “But we don't want to attend any burial now, do we?” Miranda asked mockingly. “Keep quiet and go back to the hole you dug out from. You seek to have forgotten what your shameful boyfriend did. Need a remainder?” Sebastien attacked her and she opened her mouth to reply but couldn't form words so she just stepped back.“Stop it Sebastien, you've already caused enough havoc in our lives. Why do
“What are you doing here?” Isabelle asked, she asked because she knew she was the only person grandfather gave the task of debt clearing to.“I'm here to meet Romero Pierson, I need to purchase a few lands from him” she then flipped her hair, “why am I even telling the both of you! You have no business with my life!”“We don't want to have any business with you, we were just wondering what you were doing here. Stop barking” Sebastien said, thereby earning a glare from Miranda. “I guess you guys are so scared about going to meet Romero to ask for the money. That's why you are here stalling the meeting“ Miranda placed a hand on her chest in mock sympathy. “Well I understand, Nobody wants broken bones except two crazy people. All the best” she winked and went inside. Miranda strutted into Romero's office.She entered a spacious office where a man with a luxurious gold chain sat on an armchair. He had a woman sitting on his lap, straddling him, and he had one hand around her waist hold
Sebastien's gaze darkened with fury, “you know, I just stood in the corner, watching. Waiting. Hoping that you wouldn't lay your filthy hands on my wife. How dare you?”Sebastien was so livid and even Isabelle and Miranda were taken aback by the level of his annoyance. “Do you have a death wish!” Sebastien thundered.Romero burst out into laughter, he couldn't hide his amusement. He couldn't believe he was being threatened by a non-entity. “You are very stupid. Who do you think you are to threaten me? I have an expertise in dealing with people like you”He snapped his fingers twice and three guards came into the office with chains, blindfolds and ak47 guns.“Tie them up!” He ordered the guards. Isabelle shivered in fear. Her thoughts ran wild at that point. Was this how she was going to die? Maybe she should have listened to her parents? What if they kill her and Sebastien?The guards dragged Sebastien away from Isabelle first and chained his wrists and ankles to a pole.Romero took
Isabelle and Sebastien took the check and walked out of his office. When they got to the gate they saw Miranda there sulking beside her car.“You! The both of you! How can I be humiliated because of the two of you! I promise you both will pay for this. I'll tell grandfather and everyone that you both watched Romero beat me up!”Isabelle was shocked at her outburst, where they were supposed to stop Romero from beating her up. Would she have done the same if it was the other way round.“Oh shut up! Would you have done the same if it was the other way round?” Sebastien asked calmly, he knew the answer should be no after all she was mocking them and wished they had gotten beaten up by Romero. “That doesn't matter! What's important is that you should have helped me!” Miranda felt ashamed, why would he slap her in front of those little brats and to add to the shame he didn't even give her the land that she came for.She fumed in anger. This was the height of disrespect she had received in
When they got to the house, Adeline ran downstairs to welcome them. She hugged Isabelle and examined her body before asking, “hope you didn't get hurt?” Isabelle was surprised by her mother's reaction, she expected her mother to be angry and shout at them.Isabelle smiled, then said, “I'm fine, I don't know how Sebastien did it but he really helped me”“I think you should thank him instead and on the bright side we were able to get the money from romero pierson” Isabelle turned to look at Sebastien with a huge grin on her face.Adeline couldn't believe what Isabelle said, there's no way that a retard like Sebastien could save her daughter from a mafia gangster. “That isn't possible. Isn't it this Sebastien that isn't even capable of protecting himself not to talk of protecting another person”“Mum, I was there and I know what I saw. And because of Sebastien they obeyed us and gave us the money and even added extra interest” she raised the suitcase and showed her mother.Her mother r
