When Brigitta was done at work, she drove straight to her father's house. On parking at the garage, she sighed very sadly. She remembered how her father had turned a blind eye to the numerous torture she received from her stepmother. Sometimes when her stepmother maltreats her, she screams her father's name for help but he just ignores her.She had watched him shower all affections on her stepsister whereas, she had only endured hatred. Then she walked inside the house with dignity.Her father soon appeared with a smile all over his face, "Brigitta, oh! How much I've missed you?"Brigitta wasn't move by such pretense, so she asked, "can I sit?""Sure... sure my daughter."After Brigitta had sat, the man also sit. "Brigitta, it's been a long time. You have really added weight.""Why am I here?" She asked. She wasn't here to have jokes. She checked her wristwatch and said, "cause I must attend to my kids at home.""Firstly, let me congratulate you for being a wife of Ragnar Marshall." T
In another one hour, she was brought out, she had been told that she had a visitor. When she saw Ottar, she let out a sigh. At least, they both came for her."Ragnar Marshall is busy and couldn't make it here but he has sent me. I have asked for the details of the case and our lawyer would be attending to it shortly, you will be out of here soon, trust us," Ottar said."Thank you, Mr. Ottar and please thank Mr. Ragnar Marshall for me.""Sure," then Ottar walked away after which she was returned back to her cell.All these while that she had been inside the cell, she couldn't help but wonder if she was set up for murder. She missed her children greatly.She didn't know how many hours had passed since she wasn't with time but an officer walked up to her after a long while that she had another visitor to which she went to visit, she was stunned to see Cassie and her father."Oh my days! My poor daughter..." Her father pitied her but she knew the man didn't mean it."Did you set me up?" S
"Fine, let me have the divorce paper," Brigitta demanded."Now you are talking," Langbrók smiled and handed over the divorce paper to her, "put your signature here." She signed it at once. Then she was asked to call Ragnar Marshall to come around.Before Ragnar Marshall came, Cassie and Langbrók had already left, "what's with the urgent call!" Ragnar Marshall was having an underground meeting when he received Brigitta's call."I'm likely to be sentenced to death tomorrow. Please sign the divorce papers." She said."Who prepared this divorce paper for you? Cause I'm sure you wouldn't make it yourself," Ragnar Marshall asked."Mr. Ragnar, you will be doing me lots of favor by signing this papers. It's my only way to freedom." She admitted."But I promised to get you out. Why don't you trust me?""Two weeks had passed and it's not looking like I'll get out of here. I have missed my children, freedom is everything that matters to me right now." Brigitta said."Don't be a fool, Brigitta. T
"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."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
"I think you don't like her," Ragnar Marshall said. He didn't believe what she said of Cassie. He hadn't had the time to make research about Cassie."I don't," she answered honestly."Then living with her must have been difficult for you," he said. "Cassie has my baby, it's difficult for me to do without her.""But you don't love her, sir?" She asked just to be sure."Why are you so concerned about love? I am not a like a typical man whose ambition is to finish school, get a job, get married, have children, live on pension and die. I'm a type of man who is not interested in all the fun things of this world. I don't want marriage, I have said that repeatedly, I am only living for one purpose and that is to destroy my enemies." He said. "Don't ever ask me about love anymore.""Got it, sir. " She quickly added, "sir, how about Chester, is there any update about him? I have missed him so much.""You must be patient." He answered sharply."Sir, I noticed you hate to be touched. I don't mea
The following day, Rollo was invited to the training houses. Inside the house, Beocca, Brigitta and Rollo sat on couches, "I'm surprised that I am stepping my foot in this place once again." Rollo said."Rollo, I need you to serve as bodyguard to Brigitta. You know the duties of bodyguards, don't you? To be loyal and to protect their master with their life." Beocca went straight to the point."Why do you need a bodyguard, Brigitta?" Rollo asked her."Why else do people get bodyguards? For protection of course." She answered, "I do not feel safe and when I told Beocca, he told me that he trained you personally and that you are one of his best students." Brigitta said. "This is why you are invited here.""I'm wondering how that will work, seeing that I have feelings for you." He said thoughtfully."It will work perfectly. I trained you to learn how to control your emotions." Beocca said."What's the duration and the pay?" Rollo asked."Serve her for one year then we'll see if we can ren
Then Alex sighed, "son, you will be here for one year at least." Then he smiled.Chester couldn't help the tears that streamed down his petite face, he wondered, will no one really come around to save him? Although these place has all the beauties and glories of the world, Chester still felt unhappy cause his family aren't here.When Alex saw him crying, he was infuriated, "I told you to stop crying. You are becoming a man."Because his voice was loud and since Chester wasn't used to someone shouting on him, he got down from the chair and began to run away from him.Alex stood angrily, watching his small legs race away.Seeing that he was about to cross boundary, he picked up a race to catch up with him. Afterall, although the Maridonna kingdom hosted the Wigglesworth's family and their officers, they gave them limitations. There are places they must not step their foot on in the kingdom and even in the palace, there are areas none of the Wigglesworth's family must step foot on.Befor
While going back to her office, a junior staff spoke up, "Mrs. Brigitta, you seemed very disturbed, what is the matter?""It's nothing, thank you." She continued working to her office but the junior officer followered her."You are clearly worried. I know I'm a junior staff but what if I can help in some way?" he asked.She finally paused and turned to him, he looks young, probably younger than her, "I lost some files.""Oh... I may be of help," he said."Really? These files aren't even in my recycle bin. Is there a way to get it?"The junior staff smiled, "I'm a computer scientist, why don't you let me give it a try?""Well, "she opened the door of her office and he walked in. She permitted him to begin to work on that particular system, about five minutes later, he said, "can you check if these are all the files?"Brigitta looked at her recycle bin and saw that all the files are now there, she immediately recovered it to their original folder. She looked at the male Junior staff and
Ragnar Marshall was able to get Cassie's contact, and he had invited her over to his location at England. When Cassie landed with Dian who was now a big boy, Ragnar Marshall who was already waiting for them at the airport walked towards them and welcomed them, then he lead them inside his car. When they eventually got to his house and settled, he made them ate and afterwards, Cassie and Dian came to sit with him in the living room. "Dad, you abandon us for years, it's so unfair," Dian said. "I'm so sorry, I'll make it up if you and your mom let me," Ragnar said. "Ragnar, although we have suffered so much, I still love you. I'm glad you called us back," Cassie said. "Dad, when you were away, it was prince Guthred of Maridonna that made mom and I live very comfortable," Dian said. "Dian!" Cassie cautioned him. Dian and Cassie had agreed to keep that a secret, she didn't expect for him to spill such out. "Did Guthred knows that you are coming here?" Ragnar Marshall asked the mothe
Birdie walked up to the window and kept hitting the window, she could tell that it was very strong. Not even a stone could break it. Whereas, Serafina continued crying fretfully. All of a sudden, the door opened and Birdie saw two huge men walk in. Fear gripped the heart of the two girls that they shrinked frightfully, the two guys ignored Serafina and carried Birdie out of the room. Birdie struggled but her struggle was futile. At the end, she was forced to sit on a seat in a yard. Before her was Guthred who sat majestically. "What do you want with me?" Birdie asked courageously. She was scared, yes, but due to her experiences and that of her brothers in the past, she had grown a thick skin. "Your dad's house location in England." Guthred went straight to the point. "You are a child, I don't want to hurt you at all but if you refuse to cooperate, then I'll be left with no choice but to let you experience an unspeakable amount of pain. One that would traumatize you your entire life
An aeroplane landed at Jora City's international airport at 2PM. Students of age 17 and 18 could be seen stepping down from the airport. Amidst all these students was Birdie and her bestfriend, Serafina. Serafina had already clocked eighteen while Birdie would clock eighteen the following day. As they walked alongside other students to the bus that would take them to the hotel, both friends discussed about various things, some of which were Birdie's experiences here at Jora. Afterall, she once lived in Jora City with her parents. She may be young then but she still remembered their culture and their way of life. That night, all the students lodged at the hotel. Around 10PM in the evening, a man walked towards the receptionist and dropped a backpack of cash on the table, "you won't make these money even if you work hard your entire life." The receptionist unzipped the backpack and saw loads of money, his eyes widened, "what service may I render you, sir?" He took the backpack of mo
At Maridonna's kingdom, the ten princes of Maridonna's kingdom stood before the great emperor of the kingdom. They trembled in fear and had their head lowered in shame. Lined up in the left roles were the council members and lined up in the right row were the overlords of cities. The atmosphere were tensed and everyone present steadied their breath as they were scared to even breath. "How shameful!" The emperor stated. "Not only could you not get Ragnar Marshall, we even lost our spy, Brigitta. That woman tricked us. Yet, I had the opportunity to kill her but you... You, Guthred told me to pardon and use her." He added in fury, "you couldn't even produce even one of her babies. I have never been dissapointed as I am right now." The emperor was boiling in anger, "Ragnar Marshall isn't the governor of any state, he's not a president of anywhere, neither is he a king nor an emperor, he holds no political position. He's just a random citizen with soldiers yet he defeated us in battle."
She immediately placed a call across to Ragnar Marshall to which he answered, "I've been informed of the attack in my house. There is a secret exit at the second hallway, just press code 211AXs when you get to the door, it will open." "Alright, "Brigitta said and stepped out through the hallway. Ragnar Marshall knew that these battles would be an endless one, unless Maridonna is destroyed, there will be no peace for himself, Brigitta and the kids. Sometimes, it's wisdom to know when to run and when to fight. So he told Beocca to go and pick Brigitta and her kids from the secret exit of the house and bring them to his airport. He wouldn't let Brigitta nor her kids gets captured again. It's time for her to live a happy ever after and he will make that happen. Ragnar Marshall soon arrived at the airport, he stood on the stairs and waited patiently for Beocca to drive Brigitta and the kids over here. When fifteen minutes passed without any trace of Beocca, his concern heightened and t
Cassie had goodbumps as she spoke. She spoke exactly like Brigitta and it's very weird. She couldn't stop staring at her. "I will tell you if you tell me whom you work for?" Ragnar Marshall asked. He still didn't trust her enough to reveal his identity to her. "This wasn't the deal," Brigitta said. "Be truthful to me and I'll be truthful to you. Just come clean and I promise you transparency," he said. Because she was in danger of Maridonna's attack, she decided to confess, "well, I was imprisoned for years in Maridonna's kingdom. I was about to be killed a month ago when Prince Guthred spoke up on my behalf before the emperor. They decided to use me to kill Ragnar Marshall and that was why I was sent here for the mission. They told me Ragnar Marshall and I once worked together as a terrorist and that it was Ragnar Marshall that killed my babies. But I later found out that they lied." "Alex Roberto, my ex husband revealed the truth to me before he died." Brigitta said. The hairs
"I can not. You will have to kill me firstly before you can get to the kids." Brigitta said. "Is this how you will pay for how I saved your life?" Prince Guthred asked."I can't let you take my kids away from me. As for the Mission, I am almost done. I have Ragnar Marshall with me." "In your custody?" Guthred was surprised. "Yes." "Take me there now." Guthred commanded. She walked out and closed her door then she took him to the warehouse. However, when they got there, they saw that the place had turned into chaos, everywhere was scattered and Alex Roberto was on the floor, bleeding. "Oh my days! They Ragnar Marshall's men found out this place already." Brigitta ran inside where she kept the person she thinks was Ragnar Marshall but the person was no longer there. She ran to where Beocca was kept but he wasn't there also, then she walked out. "My prince, they escaped." She reported. Guthred grunted in frustration, "why don't you just kill Ragnar after you have held him hostage
Whereas, at Brigitta's house, she scoffed after Ragnar Marshall left. As though she knew that "Lee" could be related to the Ragnar Marshall, hence, she quickly told Alex to take her hostages away before Ragnar Marshall would arrive. Brigitta then drove over to the warehouse that the hostages are. On getting there, Alex showed her where her hostages were. In a room was Beocca, in another was 'Ragnar Marshall' and in another were six kids. But something caught her attention in the kids, it's the fact that five of the six kids looked alike. But more than that, those kids seemed to have a close resemblance with her. She shut the door so she could have some time with the kids, the kid's mouth were neither gagged nor tied. They were only locked up in a room. "Hello," she greeted the six kids but the little one were quiet and scared. She remembered that she was told Ragnar Marshall killed her kids. What if it's not true? What if these are her kids? It's crazy to think that way but why w
Ragnar Marshall's heart skipped in fear. If it was that weird boy, Dian that was kidnapped, he wouldn't really mind but Brigitta's kids? Although those kids aren't his, he still treats them as though they were his. For the love he had for Brigitta, how could he let any harm come against those kids."Might be that woman, Lin,* Ragnar Marshall said. Took a few seconds before he suddenly stood. "Prepare fifty men, I know where she lives." "Alright, sir." Ottar immediately walked out. About thirty five minutes later, they arrived at Lin's place, "bring every single soul you find in there to this place!" He commanded. Ottar and twenty five of the men walked in speedily and began to ransack the house but unfortunately, they returned with a negative report, "not a single soul is in there. Infact, it looked like whoever is living there had already moved." Ragnar Marshall didn't expect so much from a woman, he must give it to Lin that she was really very smart. He didn't see Lin as a threa
