Let Us Go
Brigitta could be seen carrying her luggage and taking it outside. The kids weren’t so elated that they were moving out.
As a result of carrying the luggage, she was already tired, she walked tiredly to where her kids sat, “why do you people look so sad? Shouldn’t you be happy that we are moving to Nikolai’s house?”
“But you said Nikolai isn’t home?” Chester chirped.
“Yes, but he will be home soon. Come on guys!” She said and went to go and carry the last set of luggage outside. Afterwards, she came to pick up the kids.
She had already got a cab that will take them and it was in the boot of the car that she had been dropping those luggage, she made the kids sit at the backseat of the car. When she was about entering the front seat, she saw one of Ragnar Marshall’s cars drove in.
She paused and watched as Ragnar Marshall stepped down from his car, he glanced at her then walked inside with Ivan.
She sighed and took another look at the house after which she walked in. Soon, she was in Nikolai’s house. However, she had not heard from Nikolai ever since Alex Roberto took her away from the restaurant.
After she and her children had fully settled and eaten, she tried Nikolai’s number again but as usual, it was switched off. She didn’t know of anyone capable of helping her. She knew for sure that Nikolai was in the custody of Alex Roberto.
Ragnar Marshall seems to be the only person capable of helping her but he had said he wouldn’t help. She didn’t want to have anything to do with Alex Roberto anymore but with Nikolai with him, she will be left with no choice but to contact him.
She picked up her phone and placed a call across to him. Once he answered, she greeted, “hello.”
“About your friend, huh?” Alex Roberto snickered from the other end, “you know what to do to get him out of here.”
“What?”
“Don’t pretend as if you don’t know, Brigitta. Simply agree to become my mistress and I will let go of your friend.”
She giggled, “if you still believe in your mind that I’ll ever become your mistress someday, then you can keep dreaming.”
“And if you think I’ll let go of Nikolai someday, then you can continue hoping.” He replied savagely.
There was a few seconds of silence from both parties, only breaths could be heard, “I don’t care.” Then she hung the call up. It’s not that she didn’t care, it’s that she didn’t want to look desperate before Alex.
She then planned on reporting to the cops the following day, afterall, she can not just fold her hands and do nothing.
About a couple of hours later, she heard knocks on the door and she went over to open it. Seeing a strange man before her door, she waited for what the stranger had to say but he didn’t speak so she had to ask, “how may I help you?”
The stranger took steps back and a familiar face was revealed. This person was Alex. “I thought you are married to the last son of the the Wigglesworth’s family, and that you are supposed to be living with him? Why did you move over to Nikolai’s house?”
“And when did that become your business plus are you spying on me?”
“Are you not worth spying on, sweetheart?” He asked and tried to enter but she was quick to spam the door shut.
‘How dare he make an attempt to come inside the house,” she frowned as she went to sit. But she was a little scared. Will he go or will he find a way to enter?
Somehow, she thinks this man is suddenly obsessed with her and the fact that he’s extremely influential made it very difficult for her to put him in his place.
Nonetheless, she turned on the television and planned to watch a movie just to pass away time, however, her phone rang and seeing that it was Alex, she ignored.
Then a call came through again, thinking it was Alex, she planned to switch off her phone but as she made an attempt to, she realized that the caller ID was Nikolai.
She immediately answered the call, “hey Nikolai.”
“Brigitta, please open the door for Alex.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Why? What are they doing to you? Where are you kept? I know you are not fine, what can I do to…”
“Just open the door!” He shouted on her. A reaction he had never received from him before. Perhaps, he was being threatened.
“And if I refuse to?” She asked.
“It’s my house and I’m commanding you to open the door of my house.” He said like someone that is angry.
“I can’t let Alex enter this house. I know you are being forced to call me but don’t worry, I’ll get you out.” She said and quickly hung the call up. She knew he was acting weird cause he was probably under torture.
All of a sudden, she heard a loud thud on the door of the house . It was the door flying away. She stood in fear, her children had also ran out of their rooms to see what sounded like thunder at the front of the house.
The children, who were now around their mom watched as Alex and about three men who were obviously his bodyguards walked in.
Alex smirked and stood gallantly before her, but when he noticed the kids, his eyes fell, he could see a resemblance in the kids and Brigitta. “Brigitta, don’t tell me this kids are yours?” Cause to him, he believed Brigitta can never have a baby, afterall, she had lots of miscarriages when they were married and she never for once made it to deliver a baby.
“None of your business. Leave here!” She said strictly but Alex laughed. “In this city, I get what I want and no one dares to question me.”
He added, “there are many ladies out there who can’t wait to have a taste of me yet I’m offering you such a high position of being my mistress and you are refusing.”
“Alex Roberto, get out of this house!”
“You have no right. This isn’t your house.” He said, his face then darted on the kids again, “who is the father of this kids?”
She grunted in frustration, “I guess I’ll have to leave this house for you.”
“No, you can’t.” He smirked, “bring those kids.” He commanded the three men behind him.
“What… no!” She screamed as the three men approached her kids. She struggled so hard to protect her five kids but the men easily shoved her to a side and took the kids to where Alex stayed.
The kids could be heard screaming, “let us go! You kidnapper! Leave us!” But their tiny voices didn’t move Alex at all. He just mocked the mother and her children.
