CHAPTER 138

This was yet another attempt out of the many attempts they had tried to bring Tere down but it failed. 

Faith and Purist both arrived at the house and found everybody waiting for them outside the house. They were all filled with enthusiasm since they thought that Tere had already been arrested. This made both Faith and Purist not to be able to get out of the taxi. They were afraid of telling the bad news to the public especially Purist who did not want to dissapoint Ruth and Naomi.

" They won't enter the house till they hear the type of good news that they want to hear from us" said Purist filled with lots of worries.

" We have to leave no matter what Purist. We can postpone telling them the truth till we reach mambo town. But for now, we have to leave this town since nothing is safe for us right now" said Faith who got out of the taxi accompanied by Purist.

Faith paid the taxi driver a few coins and immediately went towards Ruth where she was standing.

" We should leave right away. We do not have to talk about the issue with Tere right now" said Faith smiling.

" Why not? Were the policemen able to arrest her?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of curiosity.

" Can we forget about that issue right now?  We have no idea if the police have arrested her or not. They told us that they would contact us once the issue had been tackled upon" said Faith.

" Fine! It's fine if the issue will be tackled upon even at the time that we would have already reached Mambo town. I want it to be done before my wedding takes place. If it does not happen before that, I will have to go to that police station myself and push the police officers to go ahead and arrest Tere" said Ruth.

They all immediately went to the house and picked their bags. This was all because the hut that was supposed to made at the graveyard was already made and the door of the hut locked. They as well put electric wires which would make anybody who tried to steal Magdalene's body shocked. 

As soon as they finished picking their bags, they decided to leave but this was after Naomi's car was returned to her since Ruth had left it on the highway. Ruth insisted that she should be taken to the closer gates before she left to Mambo town. She wanted to pick up Magdalene's swinging chair which was written Magdalene's name. 

Both Ryan and Naomi drove to the closer gates since they were the only ones who had their cars a long with them. Ruth had left her car at the closer gates the last time she went there.

They arrived at the closer gates and found out that there were many guards at the gate of the closer gates guarding the gate. 

" I want to enter the closer gates with my family" Ruth commanded still inside the car. She spoke through the glinding window of the car.

All the guards opened the gate paving way for the two cars to enter. As soon as they entered and parked, Ruth was astonished to see her car hanging at the meeting square. She immediately got out of the car angrily and went towards the mansion as everybody followed her.

" Martin! Martin!" Shouted Ruth as she entered the mansion. 

She was astonished to see Martin seated on. Magdalene's swinging chair. 

" What do you want?" Shouted Martin at Ruth angrily. 

" I want my grandma's swinging chair. That was the gift she was supposed to give me during my wedding with Ryan. I want my car as well. I have seen it hanging at the meeting square. Those are the only things which I want Martin," shouted Ruth at Martin as she went towards Martin. 

Martin immediately held Ruth's arm and pushed her towards him which astonished everyone. He forcefully kissed Ruth which made Ryan to go towards them and tried to take Ruth away from Martin but the force made Ruth to get hurt which made Ryan to stop.

" What do you think you are doing? Ruth is my supposed wife and the love of my life. Give her back to me and everything that she deserves" shouted Ryan at Martin angrily. 

" Why should I give you what has freely been brought to me? I want you all to understand that in this game, I am the mastermind and you all follow. I am glad that you have managed to arrest that good for nothing Tere. May she rot in jail and suffer for her remaining lifetime" said Martin which made Ruth to feel bad.

Ruth knew that Faith and Purist had lied to her but she was not able to understand the main reason why. 

" You leave me alone Martin. I am not that young girl you used to control when she was a little obidient girl. I am taking my grandma's swinging chair a long with me. You can decide to auction my car because I am not interested and will never be" said Ruth who loosened herself from Martin and went towards Ryan then held Ryan's arm filled with lots of love. 

Martin left to his room angrily. Akeshia who was watching them from far decided to follow Martin. She knew that Martin would have been hurt after being rejected by Ruth. As soon as Akeshia arrived in Martin's room, she went towards Martin and hugged Martin. 

" Martin! It's time for you let Ruth go and move on with your life. Is it not clear to you that she does not want you anymore? She will always choose Ryan over you. I am begging you not to hurt yourself any further Martin. That was what I also did many years back with Faith. I chose to forget about her when she chose Ruth over us and we are all still happy. Aren't we?" Asked Akeshia smiling.

" Yes Mama. You just have to understand that this is different. I love Ruth with all my heart and I cannot allow her to get married to Ryan. I cannot as well allow her to get my grandma's swinging chair. I am going to fight for it" said Martin who decided to go to the living room where Ruth and everyone were before he left to his room.

He was astonished to find out that they were gone as soon as he arrived and they had also gone with Magdalene's swinging chair. He yelled filled with lots of pain since that chair was part of the fact that proved he inherited the power of the closer gates from Magdalene. 

He wondered how he could be able to prove the power of the closer gates without Magdalene's swinging chair.

" Martin! I really hate it when I see you hurt. The closer gates was never ours from the very first moment. That swinging chair belongs to her grandma and she has every right to the it away from us since she is the biological daughter" said Akeshia as tears welled down her eyes.

" We can never stop fighting for what is rightfully yours mama. They might had taken away grandma's swinging chair but you are still the eldest daughter of this family and you deserve to be the leader and get the power of the closer gates then transfer it to your son. That was the main reason why you deserved everything more than Naomi did" said Martin.

Unluckily, Mr. One arrived at that instant with his warriors unexpectedly. He entered the mansion without prior notice which astonished Martin.

" Mr. One! Is there anything we can do to help you?" Asked Martin astonished. 

" You cannot help me but your mother can. I want her to come along with me back to town One. That is where your mother Akeshia belongs and not this closer gates. Or maybe you think that you can help me with that?" Asked Mr. One as he raised his eyebrows and sat on the couch as he wore his usual black cape. 

Martin wondered how Mr. One got the strength to do everything that he did. He now understand where his sister Faith got all her beauty from. Mr. One was; extremely good looking and short in height, he was slender and had a mark on his left arm. The people of Town One claimed that the mark on the left arm meant leadership. That meant that he had been choosen to be a leader from the very first moment of his life.

Faith on the hand was; extremely beautiful, she also had a mark on her left arm which Ruth failed to notice even after being Faith's friend and sister for so many years, Faith was extremely good looking as well but was taller. She seemed to have inherited her height from her mother. 

" No,! You can dare ask for anything else but not my mother" said Martin in a calm voice.

" Do you think being too short can make me loose this? Look! am I not tall now?" Asked Mr. One who stood from the couch and climbed on top of the table. 

" I beg you to get out of this house. This is my last respect I am giving you as Faith's father" said Martin who folded his arms together. 

Mr. One looked at Martin and kept jumping on the table which would make one think that he had turned out to be mad. Martin had never seen such kind of a playful man before. Martin therefore shook his head in disbelief while he kept smiling. 

MARRIED AR SIXTEEN.
