Investigate Her Whereabout Immediately
Brigitta quickly hung the call up and turned to him, her mouth shivered so hard as though her mouth was suddenly subjected to a cold greater than a thousand degree Celsius. She dugged her nails hard inside her palm even as she tried very hard to calm her anxious and frightened self.
How did Ragnar Marshall entered without her knowing? During the dreadful silence, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Alex, she immediately hung the call and switched the phone off totally.
Ragnar Marshall went over to her, closing all the gaps between them and saying, “do you really think your ex husband can save you?”
Her heart pounding hard against her chest could still be literally heard by anyone close to her. “Where is the necklace?”
She immediately handed over the necklace to him. He received it and looked at her, “I will take it that you stole this necklace. Perhaps, you thought it worth a fortune.”
“Of course not.” She replied quickly as that wasn’t her intention, “I will never steal anything from you.”
“Goodnight.” Then he walked away.
Brigitta felt like she was dreaming. Did he just walk away? She had thought that he would bring down hell on her this night, like taking her to the torture room to spend days while heavily torturing her through different means but instead, he simply walked away wordlessly.
Brigitta sunk to her bed, exhaling heavily. When she was calm again, she switched on her phone and Alex’s call came through immediately.
While still lying tiredly on the bed, she answered the call and placed it in her ear.
“Why is your phone switched off? I’m already at the Wigglesworth’s house with my men, shall I come in to save you?” Alex asked.
“What will you want in return?” She asked, knowing that Alex wouldn’t just help her selflessly.
“You already know.” He answered. “Shall I come in to save you?”
“I would never become your mistress in this lifetime. It doesn’t matter if I die.” Brigitta said.
“Was it not you that sounded desperate for my help a few minutes ago and now you sound as if you don’t need me anymore. I had no idea what had happened but you must come out to see me.” Alex said.
“Remember you were the one that call for my help?” He said seriously.
“Fine.” She answered and stood. Then walked out of the house.
She stood behind the gate outside while Alex who was with four hiluxes cars and fifteen tall and burly men stood gallantly a distance away. Then Alex alone began to approach her, when he got before her, he spoke, “who is threatening you in there? Just tell me. Is it the butler? You said whoever wants to hurt you was about to do something terrible to you or is Ragnar well now?”
Brigitta felt very foolish to even call Alex in the first, well, she can’t blame herself that much. It was her excess fear for Ragnar that made her call someone like Alex for help.
“Ragnar is not well and is still paralyzed, and no, it’s not Ivan that is trying to hurt me. But whatever it is, it’s resolved now. I must thank you for coming through.” She said.
Alex looked at her for a few seconds and smirked, “Brigitta, I remember when we were lovers. Remember that every Friday, I would come home with a black cake and strawberry ice cream for you.”
The memories were true but now, they were like bees, biting her hard ruthlessly.
“Alex, you should go now.”
Alex hummed and said, “how about your bestfriend? You seemed not to be concerned about him anymore.”
How can she not be concerned about Nikolai, her bestfriend? Yet, she had learnt not to act desperate before him but rather keep finding a way to save him.
“You seem to be enjoying holding an innocent man against his will. Well,” she said and added, “I must leave now.”
Alex raised his hand and moved it towards her cheek slowly, as though he was trying to be affectionate but she immediately adjusted back, “don’t ever use that hand to touch me.” At once, she opened the small gate and walked back inside the house.
Alex grunted angrily and walked away.
About a few days later, Ragnar Marshall began to hear many knocks on his door, they weren’t heavy ones but it was as though many people were knocking on it so he stood and walked up to the door. On opening it, he saw the five kids of Brigitta.
“What do you want?” He asked coldly. He never gives his attention to the children nor to their mother so he could only wonder why they were here.
“We have not seen mom since yesterday.” Chester answered.
“Can you help us to find our mom?” Birdie immediately asked with her petite little voice.
“Please?” Rome added.
He was so distant to Brigitta that although they lived in the same house, they may not even see each other in days.
“I’ll call her,” he said and went to his table then picked up his phone. However, every attempt to call her line was unsuccessful.
He then walked over to where the kids are and said, “I’ll find your mom’s whereabout. But you need to trust me and not worry yourself too much.”
The kids nodded. He then led the kids to their room. However, the countenance of the kids were a sad one.
He walked out and immediately called Ivan to come over. When he and Ivan met at the living room, he sat majestically and said to Ivan who was still standing, “these kids are worried about the whereabout of their mom. Do you have an idea where Brigitta is?”
“No, sir.” He answered, “I was also wondering why she didn’t come home yesterday but I thought you knew about it, sir.”
“Investigate her whereabout immediately.”
“Got it, sir.” Ivan immediately walked out.
Ragnar then called Ottar and informed him to begin to investigate Brigitta’s whereabout too. There was no way Brigitta would dissapear without informing her kids.
Whereas, Brigitta could be seen inside a very small iron cage. She couldn’t even stand straight inside the cage, she was curled up inside. She had been in this position since yesterday, the cage was hung in the air and she couldn’t help but wonder who put her here since yesterday. But her only guess was that her ex husband probably planned her kidnap.
The door to the room she was finally opened and a man walked in. Her eyes arched in greatest shock on seeing this man.
