Chapter 2

“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.
