CHAPTER 13

Martin suddenly decided to come back from the study .He found Ruth already sleeping while Purist was sleeping beside her. Lady Akeshia was also sleeping on her couch. Martin was filled with a lot of Fury. 

" Lady Akeshia!" He shouted with a lot of anger which astonished both Purist and Ruth who woke up all if a sudden. 

" Sir! I am sorry Sir" said Lady Akeshia.

Lady Akeshia knew that Martin would say she be taken to the cell of hell for defying his orders. 

" Where is Lady Nana? She should have taken my daughter to sleep .Please take Purist to sleep. I am very tired and need to rest. Don't come to the room anymore. My wife and I will be alright from here and hence forth" said Martin who locked the room ad soon as Lady Akeshia and Purist left. 

Lady Akeshia was astonished. Was the boss changing? Why did be not send me to the cell of hell? Was it because his wife was becoming a good friend if mine? I don't why I am so glad for this day? Let me just out this child to sleep and go to the servant quarters. I miss my small picking. 

Lady Akeshia thought as she went to Purist's room. She was really happy that Martin had not passed any judgement to her although it was unlike him. Why did he suddenly change? 

Ruth kept watching him from a distance. She was surprised that Martin had suddenly changed. 

" Would you please massage my leg love? I am feeling a little bit uncomfortable. It has been aching once again" said Ruth smiling.

Martin sat beside her on top of the bed and decided to massage her legs. It was something that Ruth did not expect. She kept smiling because she felt like Martin was tickling her. Something which she did not really expect. She was surprised when she saw it happen. She immediately kept holding onto Martin's chest which really amazed Martin who could control his emotions and suddenly kissed her. 

What was this?

Did he just kiss me? 

Did he just do that?

It seemed there was something wrong with him. 

" Are you okay Martin?" Said Ruth as she caressed Martin on his cheeks. 

Did she just ask me if I am okay?

Why was she not angry that I tried to kiss her?.

I expected her to be. It has taken a long time for me to finally be this close to her. 

" Tomorrow you will be going for an interview in your new school. I hope you have thoroughly prepared love. Studying is not an easy thing unless you get focused" said Martin smiling. 

" I do not need to prepare love. I know and remember every thing that I was taught. I actually used to top in my class before I stopped schooling and got married to you. Tell me! Are the chiefs still disturbing you?"

" About that issue. The matter was cancelled by the department . They only said that unless you complained about me was when they were going to make any reaction towards me . No! I know you can never do that. You love me as much as I love you. What did you discuss with your mother at the cell of hell?"

" Nothing love. She told me that her mother used to work here but they moved out as soon as I was born. Tell me Martin. Due you know my grandmother. Her name was Magdalene Chambers. She told me that she was a really good person but met her untimely death"

" What? You are Magdalene Chambers granddaughter. I can't believe this mess. You should told me earlier. I would have loved you even more"

" What are you talking about? Why do you say that you would have loved me even more? Did you know my grandmother? Do you know where she is?"

" She is here at the closed gates. She is the Queen mother here. She is the real owner of closed gates. She is the one who made the cell of hell. I work under her authority and that is the main reason why I grew up like her .And maybe that is the main reason why she asked me to marry you?"

" Where is she?"

" Who?"

" Magdalene Chambers"

" Nobody knows where she is . We only see her once in a while when there are terrible cases here at the closed gates. You have Just had a great piece of good luck. You are the next owner of closed gates as sokn as she is gone. Your grandmother is a witch Serah. And that is the main reason why we do not know where she lives. I receive most of the orders from her. She was the one who stripped me when I entered the cell of hell in place of Lady Ruby"

" Stop it Martin. This is not the novs that you create in your study. I am talking about my grandmother. I want to know what she really is. My mother says that she is dead" said Ruth angry. 

Martin was suddenly silent. He found it hard to believe that Ruth did not really trust her. This was something that made him feel hurt for the first time. 

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
