CHAPTER 191

" People dream Ruth but some of their dreams never get fulfilled. You have given Ryan a challenge that you will make him suffer and leave this place forever within the next few days but he has given you a challenge that you will run to him for help. I will make sure that you run to him for help because from today onwards, nobody is allowed to leave this house" said Lawrence filled with lots of anger who left the room.

This made Ruth to follow him and hit him on his back out of frustruation. Lawrence turned towards Ruth and held her arm tightly.

" We are going to go and visit my grandma's grave at Olam town" said Ruth.

" Fine! Why don't you all prepare yourselves then? The door is open for all of you to leave with your luggages as well. I can't stay with people who can't and will never be loyal to my brother" said Lawrence.

Ruth immediately went back to her room filled with lots of hapiness. She immediately informed Purist, Faith and Naomi that they were going to leave for Olam town but not forever as the way Lawrence had claimed that she should do.

Ruth wouldn't dare do that especially if she has not taken revenge for Magdalene's death.

Naomi, Purist and Faith went to their rooms to prepare themselves. As soon as they were done, they all met at the living room and prayed before they left. This was the first they were praying after so many years. 

As soon as the finished praying, they decided to leave but as soon as Ruth tried to open the door, she realized that the door was locked from the inside. 

Lawrence and Ryan entered the house clapping their hands accompanied by Vivian as they kept laughing annoyingly. 

" What is the meaning of this?" Asked Ruth filled with lots of worries. 

" Are you asking what the meaning of this is? Can't you ask me why I have locked the door?" said Ryan smiling.

" What's the point of asking you? This is not my town and this is not my home. In a place which is not yours, anybody can do whatever they want to do" said Ruth in a pellucid voice.

" Guards! Kindly take them to their respective rooms but.....take Ruth to my room and lock them up. They are not supposed to eat or drink anything till I say so" said Ryan.

" No! You cannot do this to me. She did not do anything to harm any of you. We did not do anything either. Why then should we be harmed?" Asked Naomi as tears welled down her eyes.

" Because we have a lot of things to accomplish. I will take Faith to his Dad, Purist to his Dad and Naomi to her mom. After that, I will live with the love of my life" said Ryan.

" Now when I am still alive. I will not let you take Faith to her father, Purist to her father or send my mother away" shouted Ruth at Ryan angrily.

" Well then! It will all depend on how you will coperate with us" said Ryan who signalled to the guards to take them away just like he had ordered.

The guards immediately took them away. Nelly watched them leave from the living room door as tears welled down her eyes. 

" Nelly! Come in. Do you want to go to the case square? Don't worry because I will probably assign a few guards to take you there. Who knows? Maybe you might have a loose mouth" said Vivian. 

" Actually I am not even planning to work at the case square. I have resigned from  being the case manager" said Nelly who left the living room and went to to her room and therefore locked it up. 

At that instant, Ruth kept shouting Ryan's name and begging him to allow them to leave. She even started promising him that she would leave together with her family and never come back. 

This made Ryan to go to his room to force Ruth to sit down and relax but Ruth did not stop. She instead began running up and down forcing Ryan to run until Ryan caught her and slapped her which made Ruth to fall on top of the bed.

" Listen to me carefully Ruth. You are now rendered powerless. You are not in the power to do anything till I say so. Do you understand me?" Asked Ryan.

" No I don't. I don't understand you at all Ryan. You have decided to lock me up but I have means in which I can destroy you. I know who Magdalene Mariana is but I will not tell you who she is" said Ruth.

" What do you mean by you will not tell me who she is or where she is? Are you mad? Don't you understand what I can do to your family?" Asked Ryan.

" Do whatever you want to do with them Ryan. If you like you can kill them then you will benefit a lot. Won't you?" Ruth asked Ryan smiling.

" Shut up! I don't want to listen to you anymore. I don't care about Magdalene Mariana because she was abandoned by the poeple of o my town. Why then would I be the one who would anything to do with her?" Asked Ryan.

Ruth did not answer Ryan. She instead sat on top of the bed in total silence as she had been instructed before. 

" What do you want me to do in order not to hurt any member of my family?" Ruth finally asked as tears welled down her eyes. 

" I want you to marry me then go to the closer gates and show my ring to Martin. Inform him that he should not wait fir you any longer and spit everything he has ever given to you right on his face. After that, come back to me and give me a son or a daughter" said Ryan. 

" I am not going to accept your conditions because I will make sure that I will definetly win this war Ryan" said Ruth.

" Alright! Mr. One is on his way to pick up his daughter Faith" said Ryan. 

" I know my sister Faith. She can never let Mr. One take her against her own wish without a fight. She is not just weak and that is why she us my best friends because we both process the same qualities. Isn't that it?"  Ruth asked Ryan smiling.

" I don't think that that is really the case but I will wait to see things for myself" said Ryan who immediately heard a knock on his door.

He opened the door and found out that it was Vivian. She had come to inform him about Mr. One's arrival. Ryan immediately left the room and went to Faith's room. As soon as he arrived, he found Faith lying helpless on the floor.

Ryan tried to wake Faith up but Faith did not respond as she was unconscious. This made Ryan to be terrified. He knew that if Mr. One knew the fact that something bad had happened to Faith , then he would immediately cause a commotion and initiate a war between the two towns.

Therefore, Ryan felt that he needed to hatch a plan in order to lie to Mr. One. Ryan left Faith's room and immediately went to the living room where Mr. One was seated.

" Mr. One! I thought that Faith was in the house that is why I sent you to come and pick her up but to no avail. I am very sorry for the dissapointment Mr. One I promise that this won't happen again" said Ryan.

" Why do you make fake promises Ryan? Why do you also lie? Aren't you the one who has been lying to all of us? Tell me the main reason as to why you want to deny me the rights to see my father. Is it because you do not have a father and that is the main reason why you feel jealous?" Asked Faith.

Ryan went towards Faith filled with lots of anger and wanted to slap her but Mr .One immediately stopped him by holding his arm tightly.

Faith who had closed her eyes suddenly opened her eyes and was astonished to see Ryan had fallen on the ground and her cheeks were already red hot.

His peaceful heart was breathing heavily in such a way that it was possible for it to pop out of his chest.

" What have you just done Mr. One? Ryan s not as bad as you think he is. Ryan is a good person Mr. One. So! If you both care about each other, you better apologize to each other" said Faith smiling.

" There is no way that I am going to apologize to this vagabond" said Ryan pointing at Mr. One. 

" How do you expect me to apologize to this good for nothing man in this good for nothing town?" Asked Mr. One as he went back and say on the couch. 

Faith looked at both Mr .One and Ryan then smiled. She felt proud of herself by the fact that she had managed to cause a rift between Ryan and Mr .One. This made it more harder for Ryan and Mr. One to focus on Faith.

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
