Are You The Strange Man?
She walked inside the office in an attempt to clear the scandal that Alex Roberto just accused her of. To her, she felt like Alex is insane. The last time she saw him was when she got a job in his company and that was already two weeks ago. Wondered what he want to achieve by making it look like they are having a sexual intimacy.
“Brigitta, not here. We’ll talk on phone,” Alex Roberto quickly spoke and then turned to Ragnar Marshall, “Mr. Ubba, good morning.”
“This meeting will be postponed.” Ragnar Marshall said and gestured for Alex to walk away, although their meeting was very important, he wasn’t in the mood to have the meeting anymore. Alex Roberto left respectfully.
Whereas, Brigitta still stood on the spot, thinking of a way to clear up the mess Alex just created. About to explain, he dismissed her. She had to leave so as not to anger him. What will Ragnar do to her with this scandal? She was very worried and scared. Did he has a plan of killing her for cheating on him? Afterall, they were both married, the marriage may be a nominal one, nonetheless, cheating shouldn’t be an option.
Brigitta returned to work, but until it was the closing time, she couldn’t help the fear that lingered in her heart. When she gets home, she will find out what he planned on doing to her.
Once she was out of the Wesson’s Cooperation building and was waiting to find a cab to take her home, she placed a call across to Alex Roberto. Once he answered, she spoke, “What do you want to achieve with the lie you told against me today?”
“I have no idea why Mr. Ubba invited you to his office but whatever the reason is, he must know you are mine.” He responded.
She scoffed, “So you think he will believe the lie you told against me?”
“Will he believe you if you deny it?” He laughed, “Brigitta, allow me to use this medium to invite you on a date. Please don’t say no.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
She hung the call angrily. In a jiffy, she was inside the cab taking her home. Surprisingly, until she fell asleep that day, Ragnar Marshall never sent for her. She wondered if what Alex said meant nothing to him or he probably didn’t believe him.
Whereas, Ragnar Marshall stood on his usual spot at the top floor of the house, watching his quiet and beautiful backyard, he loved how this house was built at the suburb of the city. It also pleased him to know that the Wigglesworth’s family still thinks he was paralyzed when infact, he was the Mr. Ubba that stormed their villa lately and killed their seventh Lord.
The seven Lords of the Wigglesworth’s family were very powerful men who rules with iron fists, killing one of them alone was a big accomplishment, but he won’t stop until he get rids of all the remaining six.
He still remembers the screams of his mother when she is being raped by the clan Lords. .
The Wigglesworth’s family treated him and his mother worse than a dog after his father died. They believe he was a jinx of the family while his mother was a witch that killed her husband.
Killing all those wicked souls was the reason for his existence. As far as he’s concern, whenever he has successfully killed the Lords of the Wigglesworth’s family and of course, Miguel Marcola, he can die peacefully. It may take time, but he will accomplish his set goal.
While in his thought, he suddenly sighted some kids, the kids were heading towards the medium sized pool. How can a woman be so blessed as to have five beautiful kids at a time? He wondered.
While watching, he suddenly noticed one of the kids was about slipping his legs accidentally to the pool so he shouted from the top that he was, “be careful, little ones.”
The little ones looked up at who just spoke, while still trying to figure out why Ragnar Marshall had told them to be careful, Birdie’s legs had already slipped and had fallen to the pool.
Seeing this, he rushed downstairs and while speeding through the exit door of the backyard, Brigitta saw him so she walked swiftly after him curiously.
Seeing that he was running towards where her kids were, she also ran after him. He jumped into the pool in search for Birdie.
“Mom, Birdie had mistakenly fallen to the pool,” Chester reported as soon as Brigitta appeared.
“What!” She screamed in fear. She wasn’t so good in swimming so she delayed her instinct of wanting to jump into the pool plus it seems Ragnar Marshall had seen her kid fall inside and had jumped inside in order to save her.
Ragnar Marshall appeared with Birdie and stepped outside of the pool, soaked in water. Luckily, she was still breathing. Brigitta walked up to him at once and said gratefully, “thank you so much, sir.” But she couldn’t help but notice his cute wet curly hair.
“You should tell your kids to be careful around here,” he said and handed over Birdie to her then he began to walk away.
Brigitta hugged Birdie dearly while watching Ragnar Marshall retreat back into the building. Thought he was heartless? But he just saved her daughter. She turned her attention to her kids and warned, “I don’t want to see you people around the pool anymore, understood?”
“Okay mom,” the children agreed and walked inside with her. After she had lead the children inside their room, she met with the butler on her way to her room. “Mrs. Brigitta, I’ll like to ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind.”
The tone at which the butler spoke with was rather pleading than the usual authoritative manner, “sure.”
“We may need some privacy. ”
She became more curious but worried at the same time. She followed him to the empty space behind the kitchen, the butler then asked, “did you know that my master, Ragnar Marshall had a one night stand with a strange woman five years ago? That day, I arranged a woman for my master but she went into another room. Whereas, another woman from God knows where enters my master’s room.”
Five years ago? She listened keenly and remembered the incident that happened many years ago. She had gone to the club to fuck a stranger but that stranger can’t be Ragnar Marshall, right?
“It happened at Club 019 to be precise, room 34. I have observed that your kids had the same resemblance with my master. Be truthful to me, Mrs. Brigitta, are you the strange woman that entered my master’s room?”
