What’s The Matter
The chaos went on for another thirty minutes, the Maridonna soldiers eventually overpowered these strange people that caused the chaos. These strange people have been living in Maridonna like they were a true citizen but they were infact working for Ragnar Marshall. They had devised Chester’s escape and luckily, it worked.
Ragnar Marshall received Chester at the seashore of Jora City. “Welcome home, Chester.”
“Where’s my mom?” Chester asked. The little one can not wait to see his mom.
“She had no idea you were coming, I’ll take you to her,” Ragnar Marshall then took Chester over to his house.
Brigitta was busy with her laptop when a knock suddenly landed on her door. She stood and went to open it, she received the greatest shock of her life on seeing Chester.
“Chester!” She screamed to the top of her lungs. She was extremely happy to see him. She quickly took him to where his other siblings were and they were both happy to see him too. The little kids could be seeing jubilating, Brigitta almost cried tears of joy, she was so happy to see her children together, happy and alive.
She was together with them for another two hours, Chester was narrating his experiences in Maridonna to them and it was just so interesting to hear. His experience with Alex and his experience with Prince Guthred.
Brigitta’s heart suddenly trailed to Ragnar Marshall, she hadn’t even thanked him properly, “guys, I’m coming.”
She immediately stepped out in search for Ragnar Marshall, when she got to his room, she noticed that there was a letter on the doorknob. She didn’t know who dropped this letter here, is this letter for Ragnar Marshall? Had an enemy penetrated inside here to drop a letter?
She immediately called the head of the security men guarding the house and asked if he noticed anyone come in here to which the man replied ‘no.’
Her eyes suddenly sighted the words written at the back letter, “to Brigitta.”
To Brigitta? That means this letter was directed to her. She picked up the letter and immediately stretched it out, she then began to read it’s content. The letter was written by Ragnar Marshall and in the letter, he had written that he was going over to Maridonna to end the three Lords of the Wigglesworth’s family. He stated that this was why he was still living. He mentioned that he may die in the process or he may be successful.
Ragnar Marshall had continued to say in the letter that if he’s caught in the process, he would probably be killed or imprisoned for life but that if he was successful, he would vanish from existence. He had also said he had readjusted his will and that she and her kids will benefit from his wealth just like Cassie and her son would also benefit from his wealth.
He had also said in another paragraph that he was glad he was able to help her retrieve Chester and that now, she can live a fulfilled life with her children.
At the last paragraph, Ragnar had written, “I don’t know how, but I’ll tell you, dear Brigitta, I love you.”
Reading this brought tears to her face, her body shivered and ached, no, she can never let him go. Not now that he had fallen in love with her. That was what she was waiting for before she would reveal to him that the kids are his.
She ran outside the house and approached the head of the security, “when did Ragnar Marshall leave?”
“About an hour ago.” The head of security men responded.
She ran inside her car and drove out of the house speedily, she knew Ragnar Marshall must be heading towards the sea port that leads to Maridonna. Even if he must go, she was ready to fight his fight with him.
Eventually, she arrived at the location and immediately stepped out of the car, she began to search every ships for him but didn’t see him. It had been said that a ship had taken off thirty minutes ago.
When it dawned on Brigitta that Ragnar Marshall had gone and she may never see him again, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if an hot coal was poured on it, hot tears find it’s way down her cheek. Will she not really see him again? She was scared, she was hurt, she was worried. If he truly loved her as he had claimed, then wasn’t he supposed to know that leaving her will hurt?
As she walked back to her car, she couldn’t help the pain that held tightly to her heart, the pain was worse than heartbreak. On getting to the car, she placed her head on the steering, crying. Praying that this would be nothing but a prank. Hoping that he will suddenly appear and tell her he would never dissapear without her.
Oh! For how long has she longed to see him fall in love with her, to see him break his icy heart just for her. It’s no wonder he had been helpful and accommodating to her lately. She felt terribly sad that she even lacked the strength to start the car.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Precisely a week later, while Brigitta was at work, a knock came through on her door and she permitted whoever was at the door to come in, seeing Cassie, she asked, “what do you want?”
“I haven’t seen Ragnar Marshall in a while, do you have an idea where he had been to?” Cassie asked. Although Ragnar Marshall barely sleeps in the house she stays, she still gets to see him at work but for the past one week, Cassie had not set her eyes on Ragnar so she decided to bring down her pride and ask Brigitta.
“I had no idea where he had been,” Brigitta said casually and resumed work.
“I have a feeling you do. When is he coming back?” Cassie asked.
“Did you not just hear my response, now get out of my office.” She commanded.
“And what if I don’t?” Cassie moved closer to her table instead of walking away, all of a sudden, someone else walked in, it was Beocca.
“Miss Cassie, please excuse us.” Beocca said. Since Beocca senior both Brigitta and Cassie in rank, Cassie immediately walked out.
When Brigitta saw the look of urgency on Beocca’s face, she asked, “uncle, what’s the matter?”
