I’ll Think About It
Brigitta returned to her room but she was very restless. How can she be calm when she was yet to see her kids? She kept tossing to and fro the room. She lied down at some point but stood up from the bed again. She wasn’t herself.
She kept checking her watch and it soon dawned on her than an hour had passed. Then another thirty minutes. All of a sudden, she started hearing voices of more than one person coming from the living room.
She opened the door of her room at once and ran out, from the corridor that swept pass her room, she could see her kids but what’s even more terrible, she saw Ragnar Marshall, covered with bloods. There were ten men in suits behind him, and another man dressed like a doctor, and there was Ivan. Some of the men with Ragnar Marshall had familiar faces, it seems they were the same men she saw inside the skyscraper the day she decided to challenge Ragnar Marshall for throwing two women off the skyscraper.
She was shocked at the sight before her, not knowing whether to run to where her kids were or stay. She decided to observe, afterall, her kids were here already.
Ragnar Marshall sat and the doctor immediately unboxed his box then began to administer treatment to his upper face. While the treatment was going on, one of the kids sighted her and shouted, “mommy!”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
That was Birdie, Brigitta reasoned that Birdie’s eyes must be so sharp. Once other kids sighted Brigitta, they ran towards her and she hugged them dearly.
“My babies, I’m glad you are here.” She began to examaine every part of their bodies as she said this. She took them inside and asked, “do you know what happened to Ragnar?”
“We do not really know but we heard lots of gunshots and then some men came in and carried us out.” Chester said.
“Our faces were covered when the men were taking us out,” Henley added.
She nodded and took the children to the bathroom to bath. After she had dressed for them all, she said to them, “it will be safer for us to live here in Ragnar Marshall’s house than living in Nikolai’s house.”
“Okay mom,” the children agreed.
“I need to see Mr. Ragnar, he seems injured.” She said and walked out of the room. But this time, there was no longer a soul present in the room. Everyone seems to have dissapeared.
She then walked directly to Ragnar Marshall’s room and knocked.
“Come in.”
She walked in and saw him, the blood was no longer on his face but his upper head was covered with a gauze.
“Sir… Were you injured while you were trying to save my kids?” She asked.
“Alex Roberto refused to send the kids over and dared me to bring war over to him so I lead a few of my men to his house.” He said.
“Oh! I’m so sorry I made you go through this trouble, sir. I feel very bad right now.” She said.
Ragnar Marshall himself couldn’t wonder why he had been acting strange lately expecially when it comes to the kids. He was not the type that cares if someone dies or lives. He just didn’t care about anyone, he didn’t even care about himself. Yet, he can’t seem to stand those five kids being in danger.
His heart wouldn’t just allow him to. He had to go as far as leading his men to engage in a blood shed battle with Alex Roberto.
“Alex and his men eventually retreated, otherwise, I would have killed him.” He said.
She sighed and walked closer to him, “Thank you so much, sir.”
“You have your kids now, you may leave.” He said.
“Sir…” She wished to stay and comfort him but she knew he wouldn’t allow that so she nodded and began to walk away slowly. Although they were married, he had never even made an attempt to have sex with her.
About two week later, Ragnar Marshall heard some shouts before his office so he stood and walked out. On opening the door, he saw the new assistant director and Ottar. They seemed to be at loggerhead.
“Sorry for disturbing you, sir.” Ottar quickly apologized to Ragnar Marshall.
“Mr. Ottar, please tell him the truth cause I’ll never do what you are suggesting.” Cassie said and began to cry.
He looked at Ottar and Ottar immediately lowered his head, “sir, I made a mistake again. The last time you had a meeting at the hotel, the lady I arranged for you went into a wrong room and sadly, it was miss. Cassie that entered your room.”
Ragnar Marshall was stunned to hear that, he looked at Cassie surprisingly, “my apologies.”
Cassie lowered her head and continued sobbing. He then looked at Ottar and asked, “why is she crying? Has she not get over the trauma or did she want some sort of compensation?”
“She is pregnant for you, sir and she’s not willing to abort it.” Ottar broke the sad news.
“Miss Cassie, for your own good, it’s better to abort that baby. Are you aware of my history with babies, there are women in the past who had insist on keeping the pregnancy they had for me but those babies always turn out to be …” He looked at Ottar.
“Imbecile and they die within nine months.” Ottar completed the sentence for his boss.
“They may just be… unlucky…” She cried. “I’ll keep my baby… I don’t want to abort her.”
He hummed and said, “there is no cause for alarm. Just so you know, I’m married.”
That came as a bombshell to Cassie. When? How? Who dared to marry the great Mr. Ubba?
She looked up in shock.
“So if you still decide to keep the baby, you must be ready to raise the baby alone but of course, if the DNA confirms the baby is truly mine, I’ll foot every expenses on the baby.” He said and added, “I think this is settled, everyone can depart now.”
“Sir… A pregnant woman needs all the possible support from her man so that she can give birth to a healthy kid. If you starve me of affection, I may truly deliver an imbecile like other women,” she said pitifully.
“I’m not your man, miss Cassie. You must understand that although you were a victim, I was also a victim, I thought you were just an arranged slut, I don’t force myself on people.” He said. When he saw how pitiful she look, he added, “I’ll think about it. You may leave.”
Cassie then nodded and walked away.
“I’m so sorry, sir.” Ottar apologized.
Ragnar Marshall simply snobbed him and walked inside his office.
