Chapter 3 I'll Go To The Base

Who meets a man for the first time and gets married to him in less than an hour? It's me, Katherine. Katherine thought to herself as she stood before the long mirror in her room.

She was a surgeon General, one of the highest rank in the military so she was so certain her new husband can not bully her. But regarding her new husband's mother, Katherine wanted to know the fate of that old woman in the prison so she walked out and told her driver who was also an officer to drive her to the Western Ocean City Central Prison. That was where she served her sentence with the old woman.

She was allowed in because of her status, when she got in, she asked about her old cellmate but the prison officers told her they didn't know the whereabout of the woman anymore. They confirmed that she was neither executed nor released. Yet, mysteriously, they had no idea how the woman was no longer in prison.

Katherine became confused. Did someone smuggle the woman out of the prison? Different thoughts filled her heart as she walked out.

After returning back to her base, she dressed like a civilian and drove herself out of the base. Seven years ago, she had thought that all her documents were inside her luggage but turns out Richard, her ex husband didn't put what's most important to her there, her documents.

So she planned to go back to and retrieve her documents someday and that day, is today. Katherine pulled over before the Caldwell's mansion and stepped out.

This place... Her heart ached a little as she remembered the past. This was where she was destroyed. But now, she's made and had attained a status that many people can only dream of.

Katherine walked majestically to the door that leads to the living room but when she was about pressing on the doorbell, she heard a loud voice spoke, "what's so scary about the military men? How long will you keep acting like a coward? Your father is dieing and all efforts of the doctor's to treat him has been futile yet you don't want to go inside the military base to seek the help of the new Surgeon General? Are you aware of that woman's ability to heal? Come off your cowardice attitude, Richard and go in there and seek the help of General Juanita."

Katherine was stunned, oh! This family that chased me out years ago need my help now? Wow! How life works.

Katherine eventually pressed on the doorbell and a few minutes later, the door opened. It was opened by the house butler. He was very shocked on seeing Katherine that he stood still for a while.

Katherine was dressed in a pink gown and an high heels. No one would have known she's a general in the military.

"Andres, who is that?" Sharon shouted when she saw how the butler stood still by the door. The butler's name is Andres.

Andres turned back and before he could answer Sharon, Katherine already walked in. Her face was calm yet bold.

Both Richard and Sharon were shocked to the gut. Katherine? It's been seven years that she had dissapeared mysteriously. Their thought was that she had probably become a begger somewhere. They were stunned to see her dress in this manner. She looked stunning and expensive.

"Don't be surprised to see me," Katherine smirked and said to Richard," I'm only here to get back my documents. Go inside and get me my documents and let me leave quickly."

Richard and Sharon who were seated in the couches in the living room exchanged a surprised glance, Sharon then spoke, "you!" She pointed at her angrily," how dare you walk inside here? What's worse, you couldn't even greet and you reek so much of pride."

Katherine smirked even more, ignored her and said to Richard, "Go inside and bring me my documents." Her voice was tougher than it was.

Ronald crossed his legs and said," shouldn't you ask why I didn't add your documents to your luggage years ago? It's because you will never need it. Forget about your documents and get away from here."

Katherine would have immediately placed a call across to the military base and bring hundreds of soldiers here to beat these people and force them to cough out her belongings but she chose not to do that. It was because she knew they will need her help. She had heard Sharon say that Richard's father is sick and that all the doctors in the land and tried their best but couldn't heal him, turns out their only option is the surgeon General, which is her.

"If you did not go in there and bring me my documents, you will suffer." Katherine threatened.

"How dare you talk to me in that manner?" Ronald spoke angrily, "I'll tell the guards to throw you out if you refuse to leave now."

Katherine hummed and smiled then she turned and walk away. She will be waiting for them at the military base, she will teach Ronald a painful lesson he will never forget.

Once she walked away, Sharon spoke angrily," you shouldn't have let her leave just like that. We should have punish her for disrespecting us. Whom did she think she is?"

"I'll go to the military base tomorrow and speak with the surgeon general as regarding father," Richard ignored his mother's rant, stood and walked inside his room.
