You Must Path Ways With Him
“What’s that? Just state the price already?” She demanded.
“I just want you to divorce Ragnar and be my woman,” he said.
Brigitta laughed, “your woman?” She giggled. “You are funny, Rollo. I know you are trying your best and that you have feelings for me but it’s not the same for me. Forgive me, but I do not have feelings for you, I have to be honest with you.”
“Even if you won’t be my woman, can you at least divorce Ragnar Marshall?”
“How can I? He was the one who saved me from the room Alex kept me at Maridona’s palace. If not for him, I would still be there by now, suffering. I was without food and water for ten days. How can I divorce such a man?”
“Did Chester not mean anything to you, Brigitta? Ragnar risked his life, so? Did you also know I risked my life just to get Chester out the first time. And now, the security around him has tightened. I will be risking my life the second time, infact, I will bring him over to your place. You don’t have to do anything.”
“Can you make another demand, please? Surely, there will be something else you want.”
“Unfortunately, that’s the only thing I want. I love you, Brigitta. From the first day I met you at Ragnar Marshall’s house, I have admired you greatly. Yet, I don’t want us to be secret lovers. Or are you concerned about your kids? Who says I can’t make a good father? I’ll cherish them as though they are mine.”
“I told you I don’t have any feelings of love towards you.”
“I’m Miguel Marcola’s son. Your godfather’s son. Do you still think we can’t be together?”
Brigitta was stunned. Really? “Miguel Marcola has no son.”
“He does and I’m one. Infact, I planned on taking revenge on what Ragnar Marshall did to my father.”
“I thought you used to work for Ragnar Marshall, isn’t this why he made you the butler of his house?”
“That’s true, and I was loyal to him until my mother revealed the identity of my father and told me I must take revenge for him.”
“Well, I want my son, Chester but I can’t promise you what you want. We should speak later, Rollo.” Then the call came to an end.
Brigitta sighed. She can’t take any silly risk or make any foolish decision again, she will just trust Ragnar Marshall to get Chester out. All she needs at this point is patient.
Then it was a new Monday morning, as usual, she had taken her children to school and was on her way to work. She was surprised when she received a call from her father. This was someone who didn’t care if she’s dead or alive. She was his daughter yet he hated her with passion. But he loves her stepmother and her daughter so well. Even when her grandmother was ill, her father would only help if she agreed to marry a paralyzed and imbecile man, a man her sister was supposed to marry.
Anyways, she loved the twist. The paralyzed man is not actually paralyzed. He’s healthy and infact, the wealthiest and most feared man in the continent. Even his own family had to leave the city in fear of what he would do to them. She’s the lucky queen. Her father thought she had lost by marrying an imbecile but she actually won.
After she had parked at the underground garage of the company, she called his line back. “Hello, Brigitta, how have you been?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
How has she been? Is this a joke? “May I ask why you called me?”
“Oh common, Brigitta! Don’t be angry with me. I know I have been a bad father but I was just blind. I love you, my child.”
“What did you want? It’s still early in the morning and I must resume work.”
“Well, I need you to see me.”
“I won’t be rude if I tell you to go ahead and say what you have to say now, right?”
“Brigitta… It’s about your grandmother. I can’t say it on phone, I really hope you come.”
About her grandmother? “What time?” She asked.
“You may come as soon as you are done with work,” he said, “and please, can you bring me my grandchildren. I have been a poor grandfather to them.”
Oh! Her father has found out she has babies, she knew for sure that it was Cassie who told them these too. “I won’t bring my children. And please stop acting like you care. We both know you need something from me. Be expecting me after work.” Then she hung the call up.
In a jiffy, she was already inside the office. She had barely sat when the door opened and Ottar walked in, “good morning, Mr. Ottar.”
“Good morning. There is an emergency meeting that you must attend now.”
“Alright, sir.” She stood at once and followed Otta to the emergency meeting room.
Although Ragnar Marshall was not seated, top executive officers of the company were all seated but Cassie was also present.
Then the meeting began, after it had ended, Brigitta stood like others ready to leave when she suddenly saw herself falling to the floor. This was Cassie’s work, she had poured a slippery liquid to where she was passing. Brigitta hit her head on the tiled floor and began to bleed, plus, she felt a great embarrassment falling down amidst dignitaries.
At once, she was attended to and taken away to the clinic while Cassie just sighed happily. “I hope that head injury kills you, Brigitta?” She mumbled to herself.
Then she invited one of the male officers to her office, when the man got before her, she gestured for him to sit and gave him an offer. After going back and forth, the man agreed and walked out.
Cassie then relaxed to her chair, “Brigitta, you just watch how I will destroy you. If you can’t path ways with Ragnar Marshall alive, then you will path ways with him by dieing.” She giggled wickedly.
