Derrick calmly followed her, he considered Anamika his savior from seven years ago. If not, he would have fallen into Four star general Manu's trap and he would have been forced to relinquish his position as the five star general.
For the seven years now, he has kept Anamika by his side and satisfied all her need materialistically. Anyone who touches her, touches him indirectly.
"Are you still going to return back to the base tonight? Won't you just spend the night here with me?", Anamika asked, her body yearning and heating up with sexual tensions.
"No, Thank you. I have some works to attend to at the base..." Derrick quickly answered knowing what was on her mind.
"But I didn't reserve this room to be here all alone. Besides I'm scared of being alone... I want you to keep me company," Anamika persuaded by playing on Derrick's understanding and sympathy by pretending to be scared.
"I just can't. I really have something to do in the military base. Next time, perhaps..." Derrick gently looked at her and explained, his eyes glinting with sincerity and some repugnance trying to show on his face. Anamika's make up turned him off.
"I can't believe it. You promised to marry me so I can forgive you. For seven years, you have not proposed neither have you even touched me. I was a virgin when you ravished me. I want to just own your body again. Please..." A lone drop of crocodile tears slipped out of the corner of Anamika's eyes, and then she locked the door and leaned closer to motionless Derrick and she pressed her lips to the his lips as though she was a moth drawn to fire.
Her action were both desperate and frenzied at same time. She knew this was a desperate move but she had to own his body first before her manipulation to make him sign the contract can work.
Her kisses grew rapid as her experienced hands fumbled around his body.
"No! I can't do this! Stop it!" Derrick retracted away and said, his face quickly wore a mask of professionalism, not a hint of emotion visible. His eyes cold and unblinking as he tried to control his urges.
"Don't do this to me- I want you, just this night..." She said as she got closer to him again, clearly she was horny and her desperation had been fanned. She was already removing her dress when Derrick's meek attitude spoke "No!"
The next instant, Derrick turned and backed her.
"She dares to scheme me?" He questioned himself unbelievably.
Anamika bit her lips angrily while wishing she could be in this man's embrace.
"I'll have to be on my way!" Derrick said, and twisted the door knob.
Before Anamika could make her next move, Derrick was already gone.
"I swear before God and Man. I will make him my husband . I can't lose all of this. I need to get him to sign the contract by crook!" Anamika vented immediately Derrick left.
Since her plan A didn't work out, she was sure to initiate plan B ..
As General Derrick walked out, he couldn't believe what had just happened.... Even more, he couldn't believe he has such control over his urges...
Anamika was undoubtedly sexy, seductive and hot, why didn't he just gave in? Afterall, she was his faincé.
Derrick felt a faint regret.
Well, what do one expect? He is a five star general and soldiers are disciplined and trained to have control over their manly instincts.
At exactly ten minutes later, Derrick arrived back at the military base.
On stepping down from the car, an officer walked up to him and saluted, "Sir!",
"The unit 12 tiger fighters found a dead body in the guest quarters while parading, sir!" He added reporting.
"Dead body?" Derrick was quite taken aback. This had never occured.
"Report to the base General on duty to make his investigations. Afterwards, report back to me how? And why it happened." Derrick answered and then eased the officer. Just as he was about walking into the villa, the officers voice stopped him,
"Sir, the base general asked me to inform you to come and take a look. The incident was not caught on the CCTV footages!" The officer reported in an insisting tone and it planted a different kind of curiosity inside of Derrick.
"Okay!" Derrick said and started following him to the central field where the corpse was laid and covered with white cloths.
Whatever that transpires in the base, if can't be handled by the acting officers, they report to the five star general himself and now, Derrick already discerned that this issue was complicated for the base general to personally request for his presence concerning the case. The most worrisome aspect of it all was that this had never happened in the military base before.
How can an officer die mysteriously and nothing was caught on the CCTV footage?
Derrick needed to learn more about how all of this happened.
At the central field, Derrick squatted and raised the white cloth used to cover the corpse and was pained to find out it was a junior female officer who was even yet to pass her academic exams.
"Such an untimely death!" Derrick absorbed her parents pain. How would her parents feel when they hear this? Derrick perfectly understood how it felt to lose a daughter. He can vividly recall how it affected his mum when she lost a daughter.
"We need to get to the root of this matter!" Derrick declared after snapping out of the thoughts of the pain.
Other military Officers were already gathering around the central field and around Derrick who squatted by the corpse.
"Sir! We found the corpse in the guest house backyards and from our investigation and autopsy, she died from stranglement and time of death, six hours ago!" The base general walked up to Derrick and detailed.
"Richard! What do you think?" Derrick asked his adjutant general who was standing right beside him. General Richard always go wherever Derrick goes to.
"Sir... this is quite unusual. Our guest arrived seven hours ago. It's safe to think one of them killed her because this had never happened before in this base.-" Richard was being thoughtful as he responded, then Derrick stood up,
Being a five star general, he has more experiences and knowledge to know that anything can happen in the military base, even the most odd things can happen, especially at times were one will be forced to fall for coincidence.
"That's wrong deductions. The killer is grandwar master!" A childish voice rang out, then, a boy squeezed through the throng and tugged at Derrick sleeves,
Derick looked down and was surprised to see that he was stopped by one of General Laura's triplets, whose features reminded him of his childhood. How come General Laura's kid look exactly like me in their age range?
John was wearing a military camouflage handless, and his face, painstakingly the special artwork of heavens, his round amber eyes only reminded Derrick of his childhood. However, John's face was a picture of adventurous spirit.
