CHAPTER 166

Tere felt that she should provide heself the fact that she would never want to looss Martin ever again. She would never dare do that because of her arrogance in the past.

" I want to watch this kind of Pretty love till I die filled with lots of scent of the flower of love. I want to watch you sleep in a deep slumber as idoe someday. Our son Henry sleeping beside us and singing for his further lullaby songs to help me sleep for good" said Matt n laughing like a father Christmas who gapd put a lot of food in his mouth.

" Yes love but I don't want you to include anyone in your dumber sleep. I want you to include yourself only sinde till death, no one will care about you especially the ones who will be with you besides you. So! Remove that that idea from your head. The Ruth who used to give you hope for a living does not love you anymore and does not care about you or what you do" said Tere as he caressed Martin on his cheeks.

" I know Tere. I was just a little bit confused since Ruth came to seek for my forgiveness a while ago. This means that she caress a little bear about me even though she would never want both me and her to prepare our matrimonial room anymore" said Martin.

Tere looked at Martin filled with lots of jealousy. She did not expect Martin to still have a heart to speak about Ruth after the many times that Ruth made her feel inferior in their kind of love. Therefore, Tere stood from the bed and went towards the window.

She was angry by the fact that Martin was still speaking about Ruth even after everything that Ruth did to him. Seeing her frustruation, Martin immediately stood from the bed and went towards Tere who was now peeping at the window filled with lots of anger.

" Ruth is gone Martin. Why the is it that it feels as if Ruth is still around us? This is because you, you can never stop mentioning about that girl. How will our love grow and become more serious if the only thing you think about in this relationship is Ruth?" Asked Tere .

" I am sorry Tere. I promise that from now on, I will never mention the name Ruth ever again in this new kind of love that we have started. Please turn towards me and looked at me. I love you Tere" said Martin as Tere turned towards him and smiled but unluckily, she was astonished to see Haggai at room door holding a gun at his hand.

It was as if he was ready to shoot them right away. Tere widened her eyes in disbelief as she went infront of Martin trying to cover him up from being shot by Haggai just like a little baby.

" What do you think you are doing here Haggai? How have you even be able to enter the closer gates with so many guards outside the gates of the closer gates?" Asked Tere a bit astonished. 

Tere was only astonished but was not afraid. She belueved that being afraid meant that the thing which a person was really afraid of was that person's weakness. Therefore, she had never been afraid of being pointed a gun at.

" Have you forgotten that I was once a resident of the closer gates before that foolish Martin decided to consider me as an outcast of my own hometown? The place which I was born and raised and stayed till I finally became an older and strong man that I was and that I am right now. What then is the need to ask me such kind of question? After all, let's not speak too much. I am here to take what rightfully belongs to me. I am here to take my own wife back home" said Haggai as he pointed a gun at both Tere and Martin.

" I am not your wife Haggai and I will never be your wife for the rest of my life. I love Martin and you always knew that fromthe very beginning Haggai. Despite choosing you, you never gave me the kind of life that I had always wanted. You made me feel as if I was incapable of anything and you were the only superior being in our marriage. I have just got the love of my life back in my arms and I am not going to let you ruin that for me" shouted Tere at Haggai.

Unfortunately, the guards arrived at that instant and hit Haggai on his head. This made Haggai to fall on the ground as he bled from his forehead.

" Take him to the celk of hell and make sure that he never comes out of there even if someday the lights of the cell of hell would turn to green" Martin ordered the guards but Tere immediately stopped them. 

" Please no Martin. We cannot send Haggai to the cell of hell. It is not really his fault that he truned out to be that way. It's all my fault Martin and I deeply regret that. Let's throw him out of the closer gates by the roadside where he will be able to take himself to the hospital supposive he is able to support himself or luckily comes across a good Samaritan. What do you think about that Martin?" Asked Tere a bit hesitant.

Tere did not really say that because she wanted to save Haggai from the wrath of Martin. She said that because she had a little element of pity left in her heart. Thus she felt that taking Haggai to the cell of hell would frustruate him too much. Their own daughter Vela would never be able forgive her for that in her own grave. Therefore, she felt that atleast doing that one last thing for the man she once claimed that she loved would make a difference in a change of heart towards her. 

" Fine! Take her to the nearby hospital and threw him outside the gate. The nurses and the doctors would know what to do once they see him. After all, it is the right to make sure that every patient is treated and gets well soon. Is that not right Tere?" Asked Martin.

" I think so Martin. Please take him away. I don't want to see him since we have nothing more to do with him" said Tere.

The guards immediately carried Haggai out of the room and took him to the closer gates lorry where he was supposed to be driven to the nearby hospital as instructed by Martin.

Martin immediately took Tere out of their matrimonial room as he held her arms and led her to the dining table where he had ordered lady Ruby to prepare food for the both of them. Unluckily, he found out that Lady Ruby had not yet finished preparing the food. He assisted Tere to sit on the dining chair and therefore went to the kitchen. 

" What are you still doing?" Asked Martin filled with lots of anger. 

He felt that Lady Ruby would have already finished preparing the meal since he had ordered for the meal to be prepared a long time before Tere and him began to decorate their matrimonial room. 

" Sir! There are some ingridridients that were missing. So! I had to rush to the market to buy them. I am deeply sorry" said Lady Ruby in a pellucid voice. 

" I will subject you to punishment very soon Lady Ruby. Why should you always apologize all the time after repeating the same mistake? Do you think that that is how it works in this mansion? This is the closer gates and not any other mini town reigned by common people. This is a town which was started by a witch which makes us the most powerful of all the other towns" said Martin in a commanding manner.

" If that is true sir. Why then are there no witches in the closer gates? I think that that was just a past assumption when madam Magdalene built the cell of hell. Unless.....Ruth is a witch too. Is she not her bloodline granddaughter?" Asked Lady Ruby.

" You don't know what you are talking about but still I will explain what you need to know. Ruth is truly a witch who has not yet discovered her powers and yet she has no idea that she is supposed to be the head witch. She is supposed to be the judge at the cell of hell the same way that Magdalene was. What am I even saying to a lady of the mansion? A mere maiden. Finish preparing the meal faster or else I will take you to the cell of hell" said Martin who left the kitchen. 

He went back to the dining room but did not find Tere where he left her seated. This made him to begin looking for Tere around the mansion but she was nowhere to be found. Martin felt frustruated once again. 

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
