"Did you say Katherine is the Surgeon General?" Richard was shocked to hear this new revelation from Donna. The both of them were seated inside a top restaurant.
"Yes and infact, she now has a twin." She said to Richard's surprise.
"Katherine has two children? Are you sure of what you are saying?" Richard find it incredibly hard to believe.
"I saw the two children with my very own eyes. What is even more disturbing is the childrens appearance. They looked like the god of war," Donna said making Richard's heart skipped.
"Richard, I want you to think back to seven years ago, did you have sex with Katherine before you divorced her?" Donna asked.
Richard thought back and said, "I think so... Yeah...yeah," the more he thought back was the more he remembered clearly.
"Good."
"What's good?" Richard asked in confusion.
"Those children could be your children, since they looked like they were born seven years ago, I'll advise you perform a DNA test on the children," he said.
"If the children turns out to be mine then she will be forced to treat my father. Afterall, she can't be ruthless to her children's grandfather," Richard said.
"Exactly. Make it fast before another man end up raising your kid," Donna said.
"Are you seeing her with another man in there?" Richard asked.
"Not at all. But act quick and always keep me updated," Donna said.
"Okay, I'll come around tomorrow," he said. Afterwards, Donna returned back to the military base.
For the rest of that day, Richard couldn't take his mind off what Donna said. He had wished to have a child all these years but had never had one. Could it be that Katherine was pregnant for him him when he sent her out of the house seven years ago?
Once it was the following day, he drove inside the military base, he was allowed in with the influence of Donna. He then requested to meet the Surgeon General. Though he was made to wait af the guest room for five hours but at the end, he was escorted inside Katherine's office.
He was amazed at how amazing Katherine's office is. Never in this life had he ever expect that the pathetic housewife he forced to sign the divorce papers seven years ago would turn out to become the Surgeon General.
He felt very riduculed and ashamed of himself. So he was the one standing before her when it was supposed to be the other way round. Richard wanted to take a sit but Katherine spoke up quickly," who told you to sit?"
Richard was shocked and stood," Katherine!"
"The military doesn't work like the civilian world. We work based on orders and commands here. If I didn't tell you to sit, you don't sit, understood?"
Richard was quiet, he was very angry in the face and felt like punching her in the face. How dare this ordinary woman, just because of her status... speak to him in such manner.
"Understood?" Katherine shouted angrily.
"Yes," Richard almost cry in anger. He even answered yes. "Can I sit now?"
Katherine ignored his question and asked," what did you want?"
While still standing, Richard gnashed his teeth and said, "Katherine, we need to talk."
"About what?" There was a distant look on Katherine's face, as if he had never seen the man before her. The man before her deserves an even greater riducule. That bastard hurt her badly in the past, how can she ever forgive him?
"Your children. Remember we had sex severally seven years ago before you left? I'm of the opinion that the children could be mine, kindly allow me to perform a DNA test on the kids," he said.
Katherine frowned, how did he find out she has a kid? Katherine thought deeply. It soon dawned on her that Donna must have informed him about it.
Of course, as couples seven years ago, it was normal for them to have sex. Even her can not fully tell if her pregnancy was as a result of the night stand she had with the stranger or the sex she had with Richard. Even if her kids were for Richard, she will never let him know it talkless of raising them. She doesn't ever want Richard in her life again.
"You are not my children's father," she declared.
"And who is their father?" Richard was seriously trying to control his anger. He was still standing and had not sit.
"How is that your concern? You sent me out of your house seven years ago and thought I would never make it in life again but here are you, standing in my office with no dignity left. Richard, stay back."
Richard looked at her cute face, those face of hers use to be repelling in the past but now, it looked so attractive and bold. She doesn't even look like that pathetic Katherine of seven years ago. "I won't allow another man raise my kid and I'll most definitely perform a DNA test on them," Richard said and turned, ready to leave.
"Let me see how you will do that," Katherine said and watched as Richard walked away wordlessly.
What could his plan be? Should she employ a nanny to look after her kids. Donna is in the base and Ronald could conspire with her.
At once, she placed a call across to Derick who took a while before answering it, "I believe there is nothing wrong if I employ a nanny for my kids?"
"Your kids are very safe in the base. Why do you need a nanny?"
"I know they are safe but for personal reasons, I want to get them a nanny," she said.
There was silence on the other end after which he spoke, "as long as the nanny is an officer."
"Of course," she replied and hung up. She then arranged for a junior female officer to look and guide after her kids.
In the evening of the day, while Katherine was on duty, a male officer approached the supreme building that Katherine lives with her kids. As soon as he knocked on the door, the new nanny opened the door and saluted him. The nanny's name is Samantha, she was an officer in the medical department.
The male officer who just appeared was higher in rank than her.
"I have a message for the kids," he said.
"A message for the kids? You can just tell me, sir," Samantha said.
"I have to tell the kids directly, please bring them over," the male officer said.
It's the job of Samantha to ensure the kids are protected while their mother is on duty, although it's paramount that she gives utmost respect to the senior officer standing before her, she still has to be careful.
"Is it their mom who sent you a message for them?" She asked.
"Who else?" The male officer asked, although he was still standing, he had an impatient look on his face.
"Kindly permit me to place a call across to their mom," Samantha said and picked her phone in an attempt to call Katherine and confirm. But she heard a loud bang on her head that made her suddenly loose consciousness.
The male officer walked in, it didn't take him much time to find the kid's room. The room he entered was for the boys.
