I Feel You Are Using Me
Brigitta couldn’t move closer to where her children and Alex were cause Alex’s men wouldn’t allow her.
With how Brigitta tried so hard to protect the kids from his men, Alex could tell that she loved the kids so well eventhough he was yet to confirm if the kids where truly hers or not.
“Well, I’ll take these kids with me, you will only get to see them after you have followed all processes to become my mistress,” he smiled and turned from her. About to walk away, he turned back suddenly and said, “or did you not know the benefits of being my mistress? You get to enjoy my protection, my love and even more, my money. What more can a woman want?”
“Don’t you dare take my kids, you soulless man!” She screamed angrily and ran further to the kids but the men shoved her away even more vehimently that she crashed on the bed.
Alex laughed victoriously and said as he walked away, “you have my number, call me.”
Despite the pain her right waist was causing her, she ran after the men, she kept struggling hard to stop them from taking the kids away but at the end, she could only run after the car driving her kids away.
The screams of her children,’mum! Mum! Save us!” rang repeatedly in her ear even as she watched with tears, the car fade out of her sight.
She cried so hard, not knowing exactly what to do. She was frustrated, tired and exhausted. Her children, her only source of joy had now been taking away from her.
As she walked back inside the house, she wondered if she was stupid to have left Ragnar Marshall’s house. At least, she and her kids are well protected there. Ragnar Marshall even once saved Birdie from drowning in the pool.
Now that she had a lot of time to herself to think, she concluded that although Ragnar Marshall is a beast, he’s not that absolutely bad. He still has a heart eventhough he made himself look like one with no heart, from what she had seen, Ragnar Marshall had a heart.
He even saved her from Alex’s bully at the restaurant. Seeing the little light around him, she began to think that it will not be bad to stay with him, at the very least, for this period of time until she’s sure she can protect herself and her kids.
Sleeping this night would be impossible since her kids weren’t with her then she decided to place a call across to Ragnar Marshall but suddenly paused and stood. It will be best to go to his house.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
She soon took a cab that took her to the house. Once she was outside of the cab, she walked towards the main gate of the house and press the visitor’s Bell. Took a while before the butler came to open the door.
“Mr. Ivan… Good evening.”
“Good evening,” Ivan opened the door for her in a welcoming manner. She had thought that Ragnar Marshall would have given a command for her not to be allowed in and that she may have to beg again and again to be allowed to come in.
Once she stepped in, she asked, “is Mr. Ragnar around?”
“Yes, he’s in his study. You can go ahead and meet him.”
She furrowed her brow, “really?”
“Is he not your husband?” Ivan reminded her, “as a wife, it shouldn’t be a problem to see your husband, is it?”
“It’s just the circumstances, anyways, thank you, Mr. Ivan.” Then she began to walk inside.
In a jiffy, she was before his study. she knocked but got no response. She waited for a few seconds and knocked for the second time. This time, a voice came through, “who is it?”
“Brigitta, sir. Please let me in, I have something urgent to talk to you about.”
“Do you mean that you may need my help?” He asked.
Took a while before she found a suitable response, “sir… My kids were taken away forcefully by Alex Roberto. I truly need your help, sir.”
“And why should I help you?” He asked. All these while, Brigitta was still outside of the study.
“I know I don’t deserve it expecially seeing that I have left your house but please help me. You are the only one who is capable of helping me.” She pleaded.
“Come in.”
She then walked in and at his gesture, she sat. She didn’t see any sign on his face that could give her hope that he may help her.
“Your ex husband is the chief commander of the Wigglesworth’s Clan. He’s not someone I want to have any encounter with for now.” He said. “the Wigglesworth’s clan are preparing a war against me and he’s the one leading the war.”
“Sir…”
“I can deal with him, yes. But I don’t see any reason why I should go all the way to contact my enemy to let go of your children.” He said.
Should she tell him that the children are his ? Perhaps, he would help them that way? But what if he also take them to his custody and throw her out of his house?
After a long thought, she finally decided to tell him the truth, the risk is worth taking since her children will be safer in Ragnar Marshall’s arms than in that Alex Roberto’s arm.
“Erm… Sir, I want to tell you…”
But this time, he was already putting a call through so she paused for him to finish. “Brigitta’s kids are with Alex Roberto. Threaten him to return the kids this night or the war will be earlier than planned. The war could as well happen this night.”
After the person at the other end had spoken, he hung the call up.
“Thank you so much, sir. I don’t deserve this help but you still helped me. I’ll forever be greatful.”
“You can go back to where you are coming from, your kids will be returned there this same night,” he assured.
“Sir… Can you allow me stay here again?”
He had not even spared her a glance since she sat before him, he had been busy going through a spreadsheet on his laptop. He had to glance at her after saying this, “you decided to leave here, why the change of decision?”
“I feel protected here.”
“I feel you are using me.”
“That’s not true, sir… I…”
“Otherwise, what purpose do you serve to me? It’s clear that I can guarantee the protection of you and your kids but what can you offer to me? As a wife, you bring nothing to the table. I already have everything. I didn’t want to perceive you as my property anymore, and that was why I have given you the privilege to leave or do as you want.”
His words went in as a sharp knife to her heart, piercing it subtly. True, what was she bringing to his table? But what can she even bring to the table of a man that already has everything?
Then he shut down his computer all of a sudden, he was already done with what he was doing there. He then stood and said, “you can stay here!” Then he walked out of his study.
