What Do You Think Of Cassie
“But you did not love me, sir?” She stylishly asked.
“I did not.” He answered bluntly. “I don’t love, I don’t know how to.” He walked a little bit closer to her. “So are you leaving?”
“Do you even like me? Maybe a bit of affection?” She wants to know where she stood in his heart.
“I have no affection for you, Brigitta.” He answered flatly. All his response were like daggers, piercing her heart in a hard way.
“Oh! I don’t want it to be like I’m forcing myself on you. Afterall, I refused to divorce you when you were about to marry Cassie.” she said.
Ragnar Marshall went to the seat in the living room and sat, “marriage is not about love. Love can’t keep two people together. Infact, people that fall in love gets hurt easily. Because of love, they can do stupid things.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
He added, “but I admit I have not been a good husband, is that true?”
“Of course not. You have done so much for me. Why shouldn’t I understand that you are the busy type? Apart from the company you solely manage, I’m sure you have tons of other things you manage as well, I’ll be selfish not to understand.”
“Then what is the problem? I ask again, do you really want to leave cause I won’t force you?” He asked.
She observed him closely. Ragnar Marshall wasn’t as he used to be. Now, he seemed to have loosened up to her. He was so uptight before unlike now. He has saved her child once and saved her twice, he had been her prince in shining armor. He may not know but she knew for certainty that a hard nut is loosening up in him.
Although there were so many challenges around them, if she didn’t give up, she may get him to completely fall in love with her. It’s already obvious he cares for her eventhough he may not want to admit it. He risked his life to go to Maridonna to save her, that’s a definition of ‘care.’ She had received the level of care she had not received from anyone in the past fr Ragnar Marshall.
Ragnar Marshall stood and went to the door then open it wide, “If you want to, you may leave now.”
“I will stay,” she said decisively.
“Are you sure? Be very certain you want to stay,” he said. He didn’t want to have to force her to stay anymore.
“I will stay.”
“Then take your luggage back,” he said and began to walk towards his room. A bright smile appeared on his lips, she thought she had lost Ragnar but it seems he’s smarter than her. She then took the luggage back one after the other.
While she was preparing what her children will eat when they come back from school, she heard the sound of the doorbell.
She paused what she was doing at the kitchen and walked up to the door, on opening, she was stunned to see Rollo.
“Are you with my son?”
“Can I come in?” Rollo asked.
“Well… What if Ragnar Marshall comes and sees you here?”
“He won’t.” He said confidently.
Brigitta let him in and they both went to sit in the living room, “are you able to bring Chester here?”
“We did not have an agreement. I came here to show you that it’s possible to bring Chester over here. But I see that you seem not to be really bother about him anymore.”
“How can I not care about my own son? Of course I do care about him. It’s just that I don’t want to make any foolish decision again. I’ll just trust Ragnar Marshall to help me free him.”
“Ragnar Marshall can’t help you even in a decade time. Infact, the war he’s preparing to bring to Maridonna will be a lost war,” Rollo said.
“Is that true?” It wasn’t Brigitta who spoke, it was Ragnar Marshall. He had come through the backdoor of the house.
Rollo stood at once in fear, he had got information that Ragnar Marshall had travelled to the sea to have a meeting, and that was why he could come here comfortablly to talk to Brigitta.
Brigitta also stood in shock. She knew that Rollo and Ragnar Marshall had bad blood between them yet she still allowed Rollo to come in.
“I don’t want you to step your foot inside my house again.” Ragnar Marshall warned Rollo.
“Please don’t hurt me.” Rollo pleaded.
“I don’t have to,” Ragnar dismissed him with a wave of his hand and he ran out speedily.
Brigitta sighed, she had thought that there would be bloodshed here.
“I shouldn’t have let him in, I’m sorry.” Brigitta apologized at once.
“Come with me,” he said. Brigitta followed him through the backdoor of the house and they appeared at the back view of the house where there are two pools and numerous flowers. As they walked through the flowers, he spoke, “I lived in the dark for ten years.”
She thought that he was being poetic but she had no idea he literally meant it.
“I didn’t know when day comes or when night goes. My life was stagnant for ten years, this was as a result of your godfather, Miguel Marcola.” He said.
“Sir… Do you mean you lived in sadness for ten years?”
“Actually, I live in pain and agony all my life.” He answered, “Miguel Marcola locked me in a dark room for ten years and feed me only raw human parts as food. I didn’t bath nor brush my teeth in these entire ten years, I was on a spot. Helpless and begging for death.”
Hearing that shocked her to the gut. “I had no idea my godfather was that brutal.”
“He used many young boys and girls as sex slaves, apart from dealing with drugs, which is the other way he makes money.” Ragnar Marshall said.
He paused in the middle of the flowers and turned to her, “everything in this world is void. The only thing that makes sense to me is Killing all those who have hurt me in the past.”
“I’ll help you, sir.”
“I don’t need your help. You can choose to fight with me, that’s absolutely your choice but with or without you, it’s my fate to destroy the Wigglesworth’s clan, even if they hide under the rock. Hiding under the most powerful kingdom in the world will not stop me from taking my revenge.”
“Sir, are you aware that they knew Ragnar Marshall is Mr. Ubba, I didn’t tell anyone about it but somehow, they have all found out.” She reported.
“It’s okay if they find out,” he said. “what do you think of Cassie?”
“Cassie? She was my ex bestfriend but I caught her and my step-sister having sex with my ex husband, Alex Roberto, that was six years ago.”
