Classic Novel
Help!
“Since you didn’t do anything wrong to Grisah then it means Grisah was sent by someone and that someone definitely isn’t Guthred. Cause Guthred can’t tell Grisah to do such while still making an attempt to save you. My closest guess is Cassie, afterall, Cassie works in our company and infact, I had noticed Grisah in her office more than once.” Beocca said.
Brigitta sighed, “she will never stop pursuing me, uncle. Should I just leave the house for her?”
“Ragnar Marshall is the father of your kids, if you leave him at the mercy of Cassie’s deceit, don’t you think he will destroy him totally? You are Ragnar Marshall’s saving grace. I just know.” Beocca said.
“Of course I love Ragnar Marshall and want the best for him but not at the cost of my life. Cassie wouldn’t stop at anything. Since Grisah had failed in her attempt to kill me, I think she will send someone else,” Brigitta said.
“Which is why you need to be very careful. I believe you can send Cassie away from Ragnar’s house by setting her up too. Sometimes we need to act in a bad way to get rid of a bad person.” Beocca suggested.
“Uncle…”
“Brigitta, you can’t just watch as she keeps scheming against you. You can’t keep defending all the time, sometimes, you need to attack. Let her know you aren’t a dummy that accepts whatever she throws at you. If she spoils your plant, break her car’s window. If she slaps you, bury her alive.” Beocca said.
“Uncle…” She called, “I can’t become a bad person like her just because I’m trying to get rid of her. Good will always prevail.”
“Really?”
“Uncle, you can’t expect me to be like you,” Brigitta said.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I’m not asking you to be like me. What if she succeeds in her next scheme and kills you? Who will take care of your kids? What if this develops to cancer and you died as a result, what will happen to your kids? I advise you think about it.” Beocca said and stood. “I’ll come and check on you later.” Then he walked out.
Brigitta was released from the hospital four days later, the pain in her stomach had subsided but it had not gone totally. She spent the rest of that day with the kids.
That night, she received an invite from Ragnar Marshall telling her to come over to his room. On getting there, she saw him seated on the couch with a novel in his hand.
“Guthred is a prince.” He broke the shocking news to her.
Her eyes furrowed in shock and her jeart raced. She sat upright and said, “Guthred? A prince of Maridonna?”
“Yes. And he’s the one with Chester. We can’t say precisely why he had come over to Jora here but my guess is that he probably wants to get to know you more, which is why he applied to be one of our officers and even opt to be your protector.” Ragnar Marshall said.
“I messed up. I shouldn’t have slapped him. I had no idea he was someone that could easily get me Chester.” Brigitta regretted slapping him. “How do I ever get Chester now? It seemed Guthred is really angry with me and he’s the only one who can help.”
“Well, he seemed not to be in bad terms with Chester so that’s a positive sign,” Ragnar Marshall said.
She sighed, “I feel so burndened right now. It’s beginning to look as if I’ll never get to see Chester again.”
“You will. But what you must do now is find a way to apologize to him,” Ragnar Marshall suggested. “Write a sincere letter of apology and let him know how much you have missed Chester in the letter and how you can’t wait to see him.”
“Okay, sir. What if he demands for me to come over?” She asked.
“Then you write back that it’s impossible. You can’t risk your safety and your motherhood of four kids over a child. I think he’s not so bad a man, he may return Chester.”
“Okay, I’ll do that as soon as possible,” she said and stood, already ready to go and write the letter.
“I called you for a different purpose.”
She paused, “what’s that, sir?”
“Go and write the letter, “he stood and went to lay on the bed, the book still in his hand.
“You can tell me, sir. I know I’m going through a lot at the moment but I’ll still be of help to you in anyway I can,” she said.
“I want you to read this novel for me until I sleep. For the past one week, I had been finding it difficult to sleep and the doctor’s aren’t helping, “he said. “When I have this similar issue during my days as a young lad, my mom would read children’s stories for me until I’m able to find my peace and sleep.”
“I can do that, sir.” She said and walked up to him then collected the book from him politely. She then began to read the novel to him, he kept following the novel even after thirty minutes had passed, two hours passed before his eyes eventually close and before she knew it, his breath had become steady and he had gone asleep.
She eventually stopped reading, a happy smile crawled up her lips and she couldn’t help but feel great for being able to make him sleep. She leaned on his body for a while and even kissed his lips briefly. After a while, she said to him, “goodnight, husband.”
Then she stood from the bed and walked out of the room. She soon fell asleep but unexpectedly woke up with smokes choking her up. She fluttered her eyes open only to realize that the entire room was filled with a suffocating smoke. She couldn’t help but cough repeatedly. She immediately opened the window then find her way to the door but she realized the door seemed to be closed from outside.
She tried repeatedly and screamed for help but no one came through for her, “help!” She shouted but it seemed that her scream didn’t pass the wall of the room.
