Became Unconscious
He wondered if Brigitta would be safe in this house this night. Who is this person looking at him? He then waited for another one hour around the house. When it was around 5AM in the morning, he called his driver and some of his men to come and pick him up.
When the driver came, he ordered his men, “I want you to watch the woman staying in this house and protect her. No harm must come to her.”
After his men had noted his command, he was driven away from the scene.
Whereas, Brigitta laid on her bed, thinking about the man that saved her. She had checked on Facebook for Lin with a profile picture of the man she saw today but couldn’t find any traces of him. She even searched Google for a Lin but there was no traces. Who was that man? Why was he walking aimlessly in the middle of the road. Will she ever see him again? She thought for hours until she eventually fell asleep.
When it was the following morning, she was awoken by a knock on her door, she hadn’t even brushed or bathed, she walked up to the door and opened it, yawning like someone who was still feeling sleepy.
Seeing Guthred, she immediately bowed, “my prince.”
“How are you, Lin?” He smiled.
“I’m fine, my prince. What are you doing here?” She asked. She had no idea that he was still here in Jora City. After he had helped her with getting a house, she thought he would return back to the kingdom. “Please come in, Prince.”
“No, I need to go back to the palace for an urgent matter. Who is the man that came with you here yesterday?” Guthred asked.
She was shocked that Guthred knew that a man escorted her here yesterday. Did he have men spying on her? She truthfully explained everything that happened to him and then he advised, “you don’t allow strangers come into your home. No matter who they are, you could have dismissed him at five houses away to your house.”
“I was foolish, I’m sorry, my Lord.” She apologized.
“It’s okay. Make sure you don’t dissapoint us, okay?” Guthred asked gentlemanly.
“I won’t, sir.” Lin assured and watched as Guthred left.
When Guthred got to Maridonna, he asked for Alex to be brought to him. Alex had grown extremely lean that he looked almost like a skeleton. His beards had overgrown that it was so thick and uncombable, the thick smelly beards even reached his abdomen. His teeth had turned into brown and his clothes had several holes in it as though they were eaten by rats.
“My Lord,” Alex fell to his knees in respect. He had spent six years in the tomb.
“I have a work for you to do, Alex,” Guthred said and Alex looked pitifully at him.
“My Lord, please send me. I’m loyal and at your mercy,” Alex said.
“Your ex wife, Brigitta also spent five years in our prison but she had been released now, not liberally, she’s to help us find Ragnar Marshall and have him killed.” Guthred said and added. “As I speak to you, she had gone over to Jora City. I was there to spy on her but you will understand that as a prince, I have too much to attend to over here than to spy on someone in a strange land.”
“Yes, my Lord,” Alex answered.
“Good. I will send you over to spy on her and feed me back on every of her move and detail. I don’t trust her but I also do not trust you.” Guthred said. “Which is why I’ll need you to call your mother to come and live here in Maridonna. She will think she’s living in the palace but actually, she will live as my hostage. Should you betray me, I get to kill your mother immediately and come for your entire family.”
“I will never betray you, sir.” Alex said. He was desperate to have his freedom.
“If you do your work well, you won’t have to return back to the prison anymore, infact, I can appoint you on a special position here in Maridonna, afterall, you have a good fighting skill too.” Guthred said.
“Do to me as you want, my Lord.”
After all sorts of formalities, Alex was sent over to Jora City.
Today was the sixth day that Brigitta had been driving over to Wesson’s Cooperation, everyday, she would watch through her tinted glass the activities of Wesson’s Cooperation but she had not see Ragnar Marshall yet. Actually, none of Ragnar Marshall’s pictures are on the internet, I guess it’s how he wants it. All media company had been warned not to post his pictures or videos on the intenet.
Yet, she still felt like she should be able to recognize him if he’s coming out of the company. A CEO will not just walk out of the company like any staff, he would be with escorts but she hadn’t seen any traces yet.
All of a sudden, someone began to approach her car and then knocked on her window, she lowered the window down and asked, “what do you want?”
“You have been parking your car here all day, in these same spot for the past seven days, you are a suspect.” The man said.
“Suspect?” She laughed, “I just want to know something.”
“What is that?” The man asked.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Come inside the car, let me tell you,” she said and the man got inside his car. He was not scared of Brigitta at all.
Brigitta started the car and began to drive him away, the man scoffed, “are you carrying me to meet your gangs?”
Brigitta chuckled briefly then he suddenly packed by an empty road, she stepped down from the car but before the man could step down, she sprayed a substance inside the car and closed the car.
The man hit the car’s tinted window repeatedly trying to escape but it was impossible for him to escape. He hit the window with all his strength but the door won’t open, soon, he lost consciousness.
