Chapter 70 Bring Her Here
Derrick dropped the phone on the table and commanded, "bring me Samantha."
Alessio was stunned. He wondered if it was Samantha that was in the video? Why would Samantha wants Katherine's kid to be kidnapped? He thought as he left Derrick's office. In a couple of minutes, Alessio was back in Derrick's office with Samantha.
Derrick played the video to Samantha and she furrowed her brow in shock, "this wasn't me, Marshall. I don't even know where that is. Someone is definitely impersonating me." Derrick observed the video again then closed his laptop, then he placed a call directly to Katherine instructing her to come immediately. In a couple of minutes, she appeared. The room remained quiet until Katherine came around. Derrick informed Katherine about how the video proved that it was Samantha who was behind the rogues attack that lead to the kidnap child. Katherine looked deeper into the video and then looked at Samantha with a suspicious look, "Samantha, why did you do this?"
"That's not me. Don't you trust me?" Samantha lamented in frustration. Although the face of the person in the video could not be seen clearly, nonetheless, everything that could be seeing about the person instructing the rogue soldiers in the video looked exactly like Samantha.
"Slaughter these men." Derrick commanded and added, "as for Samantha, keep her until we confirm the truth."
At once, Alessio lead the men and Samantha out. Samantha's heart felt very heavy and sour. She felt like she was stabbed in the heart. She was certain she wasn't the one in the video, someone obviously set her up and it hurts her so bad.
She wondered if Derrick would ever find out the truth that she was innocent.
At Derrick's office, Katherine remained standing. Samantha was a close friend that had stood by her in her darkest times. Why in the world will Samantha want her kids to be kidnapped? She couldn't really place any reason behind her act but then, in a world where people closest to you can betray you, she can't be absolutely certain that Samantha isn't the one behind the act.
Derrick noticed the sour mood of Samantha and asked, "did you believe it's Samantha?"
"I honestly don't know what to believe, Marshall." She answered.
"Have your sit," Derri k gestured and Katherine sat. Her heart was inexplicably heavy. "Marshall, will the truth about these come out soon?"
"Definitely, Alessio and the investigating team will begin work," Derrick answered. "The kids..."
Katherine focused more of her attention on Jim seeing that he wanted to say something about the kids, "a few months back, one of the kids gave me their hair for me to perform a DNA text." "Oh...I apologized for that then, please don't mind the kids," Katherine said.
"I have decided to perform the DNA test, I don't seem to trust Donna anymore, I felt like something about Donna and Ian Joh suspicious," Marshall said.
Katherine's heart skipped on hearing that, "do you have to? You are not their father and we have never met."
A knock sounded on the door and Derrick spoke, "come in."
A doctor appeared and walked straight to Derrick, "sir, here is the result of the DNA test."
Katherine's heart flew a hundred kilometers away. He had already told the doctor to perform it? Katherine thought fearfully.
Derrick examined the result and was shocked to see that he was the kid's father. He looked at Katherine in anger and slammed the DNA test result before her.
Katherine checked and was stunned
to see that Marshall was the kid's father. Her body began to shiver. So he was the gigolo she was set up to have sex with years back? How did a god of war get to be used fona gigolo work?
"You are that woman," Derrick said.
"Marshall...." Katherine couldn't help but stand, "my ex mother and my ex bestfriend in law set me up to be fucked by a stranger many years ago just so Richard could loose interest in me."
Derrick wondered if lan John had been lying to him. "You may leave." Derrick said and Katherine walked away with a troubled heart.
The following day, instead of inviting lan Joh from the mountain, Derrick went there himself. Ian Joh was busy watering the flowers when he heard footsteps behind him.
On turning, he surprisingly saw Derrick. "Derrick, oh my...such a surprised visit." Ian Joh said as he placed the watering can in his hand to the floor.
But Derrick's face was cold, unlike other times when he would look like gentle and obedient, "You lied to me. Donna wasn't the one I had sex with years ago."
lan Joh's heart skipped. He knew
that sooner or later, the truth will be revealed. Jan Joh fell to his knees as tears fell from his eyes. Donna's parents know where my daughter is but they would only tell me where she is after you and Donna had married."
"You aren't Donna's father?" Derrick asked surprisingly.
"I'm not." Ian Joh cried. "I was forced to act like one so Donna can get close to you."
Derrick's heart ached. So all these while, he had been deceived.
"You could let out the truth to me and I wouldn't have rested until I find your daughter." Derrick said dissapointedly, "you know how much I hate to be lied to."
"I'm sorry, son. My wife and
daughter got lost in battle years ago,
my wife eventually returned to me alone without our daughter, she was already weak has she was under torture day and night where she was taken to. She died three weeks later but in her death bed, she told me Donna's parents are the only people in Western Ocean City who knows the whereabout of my daughter.
"Don't ever step your foot in the base again and from today, I severe every ties I have with you." After saying this, he walked out.
On getting to the base, he called an executive meeting that involved only the Grandwar kings and the Grandwar masters. Then he sent for Donna to be brought to him.
