Mother’s Album
Brigitta ran helter-skelter in the room finding every possible means of escape. She knew she had to escape here fast otherwise she will die and nobody will know of it. Then a thought crossed her heart and she immediately ran to the door and kicked it repeatedly. Perhaps, if they can’t hear her scream, someone should be able to hear the sounds of her hitting the door.
At some point, she couldn’t breath anymore yet she kept hitting the door. All of a sudden, someone opened the door and she fell outside but the person was quick to carry her. This person was Ragnar Marshall.
Seeing the smoke in her room, he carried her to his room firstly then said to her, “you will be fine, let me handle the smoke.” Then he walked out.
Brigitta was grateful she was alive. If Ragnar Marshall hadn’t come early, she would have died in there. Soon, her repeated cough stopped and then she stood to check on Ragnar Marshall, afterall, it’s already more than twenty minutes that he had left her.
When she got back to her room, she realized that the smoke had subsided but Ragnar Marshall wasn’t in the room. Wondering where he could be, she kept walking further then all of a sudden, she heard voices coming from Cassie’s room.
She was almost getting to Cassie’s doorstep when the door suddenly opened and she saw Ragnar Marshall stepping out. “Sir… I’ve been looking for you.”
“The both of you can not live together in this house,” Ragnar Marshall said as he walked with her.
“What do you mean, sir? What happened?” She asked as she walked quickly after him.
“Someone tried to kill you by dropping a smoke bomb in there and who else is in this house apart from Cassie? Yet, she’s denying it. She said she had not stepped out of her room today at all. I will check the CCTV camera to confirm.”
Soon, they were both inside his room and after he had sat, he said, “Normally, a mistress shouldn’t be brought home, mistress are usually kept outside. I only brought her here cause she’s carrying my baby. How can I be absent in the growth of my son.”
“But I have seen many attempts from many people who are trying to hurt you so I’ll advise that you move over to one of my houses in the city. There are enough security men that will ensure you are safe. What if I have slept off and didn’t hear the sound of you hitting the door, is that how you will have died?”
He added, “For your own safety, you should consider it.”
“I will move out,” she said immediately. Cassie’s scheme was getting too much. It’s better for her to leave. It’s not as if she’s leaving Ragnar Marshall’s life permanently, she would still be living in his house it’s just that it won’t be this particular house.
“Alright, you may sleep here if you want and then you can move out tomorrow,” Ragnar Marshall said.
“Thank you, sir but I’ll like to check on my children firstly just to be sure they are fine,” she said and he granted her the permission, then she left fod her children’s room. On getting there, she confirmed that her children are fine but instead of going back to Ragnar Marshall’s room, she went to Cassie’s room and force her door opened. “You planted a smoke bomb in my room, trying to kill me, huh?”
“I’m surprised you are escaping death like it’s nothing. But it’s your fate to die in my hands, Brigitta.” Cassie said.
“Well, I’m leaving this house for you. You and your son can have Ragnar to yourself. I believe you will let me breath now, right?” Brigitta asked.
Cassie sighed and walked up to her, “oh sweet Brigitta! This is all I ever wanted. I wish you luck on your new endeavor.” She said and added, “but does that mean you are divorcing Ragnar?”
Brigitta smirked and felt like slapping her but she controlled herself, she glanced at Cassie’s son who was on the bed and walked out wordlessly. That night, she slept at Ragnar Marshall’s room.
Alongside her kids, Brigitta moved over to Ragnar Marshall’s house that was in the center of the city, she even loved this place cause it was way bigger and larger. There were security men stationed around the house too so she felt safe.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
On settling, Rome asked, “mom, how long do we stay here?”
“We are staying here permanently actually,” Brigitta smiled.
The children were glad cause unlike the previous house where they shared one room, each of the kids now had their own room, their was the cinema room, the game room, and all other rooms present in the house. Everything in the house also seemed new that one would feel guilty for staining it.
Around 7PM in the evening, she laid on her bed thinking about what Guthred’s response will be. She had written letter to him this morning before leaving Ragnar Marshall’s house. Will he tear the letter out of anger or will he read it? If he reads the letter, will he consider sending Chester to her liberally or will he demand something huge from her? She was so troubled.
Her phone suddenly rang, seeing that it was her father, she answered it, “what do you want this time?”
“As you may have already heard, your stepmother and stepsister had travelled to Maridonna. I’m the only one here and I’ve decided to move too but I’ll be taking everything in this house with me, including your mother’s album.”
“Don’t. Just let it be there, I’ll come and pick it when I’m chanced.” Brigitta said. How can she let him take her mother’s album away. What then will she use in remembering her mom?
“I’m selling off this house by tomorrow so if you don’t come to collect it today, then forget about it,” then her father hung the call up.
