Has He Been Listening To Her Conversation?
As soon as she was outside, she burst out into tears. She had to stay on the spot and let the tears rush out. She didn’t even know why it hurts that much, she had also always believed that their marriage was nominal and that nothing positive can come out of it, but then, knowing that he had another woman pregnant just hurts her in an inexplicable manner.
“Were you fired?” A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside her and then she turned and saw Cassie. She immediately cleaned the tears on her face.
“None of your business,” she then began to walk away.
Cassie walked up to her and then blocked her from moving further, “I’m your boss here, Brigitta. How can you walk out of me?”
“You are pregnant for Ragnar Marshall, dear Cassie. Shouldn’t that make you happy? Why do you still look frustrated?” Brigitta asked.
Cassie was taken aback by those words. She wondered how Brigitta knew about such sensitive matter. She thought it was only Ottar and Ragnar Marshall that was aware of the pregnancy in her belly.
Brigitta’s lips curled up into a sardonic smile, “why did you seem surprised? Excuse me!” She then walked away from her.
Cassie believed that there is no cause for alarm. It doesn’t matter if Brigitta knew or not. Her only concern was for Brigitta not to tell other staffss in the company that she’s pregnant for the CEO. She had presented herself as a dignified woman and hence, respected very highly, should this scandalous news leak, her reputation here will be jeopardized. She has to do something, she thought as she walked away from the scene.
Afterwork that day, Regnar was about leaving his office when he suddenly noticed that the jade necklace was missing. That jade necklace had been forgotten by the woman he mistakenly had sex with many years ago. He had hoped that with the necklace in his custody, he might be able to find and confirm the identity of the lady. All his efforts to find the woman for the past five years had only proven abortive.
Wondering who could have taken the necklace from his office, his mind went straight to Brigitta. No one else entered his office today apart from Ottar and Brigitta and Ottar wouldn’t dare to take anything in his office without his consent.
Since he and Brigitta would meet at home, he didn’t bother calling her. He simply walked out of his office.
About an hour after Brigitta got home, she received a call from Ivan and she answered it at once, “miss Brigitta, Mr. Ragnar wants to see you in his room.”
“Okay,” Brigitta finished up with the cleaning she was doing and then showered, after which she went to Ragnar’s room.
As soon she entered inside the room and saw him, she spoke, “sir, I know that our marriage is just nominal but can you please communicate to me directly, like when you need me, you can just call my line, you don’t have to go through Mr. Ivan.” She said while lowering her head slowly.
However, there was no response for another one minute. She had to raise her head up to see his expression. Is he angry? However, his face was totally devoid of emotions.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Sir, I didn’t mean to…”
“Where is the necklace?” Seeing the confused expression on her face, he added, “the one you took in my office?”
She furrowed her brow even as her heart pounded against her chest. “Sir… please pardon me… Erm…” She stuttered and then took a step forward, “it looks like mine… I know it’s wrong, very wrong.” She didn’t know exactly what to say than to let him realize how sorry she was.
“I take it that you have taken other things in my office that I’m not even aware of?”
“That’s not true, sir. Honestly, this is the first and this will be the last.” She said.
“It’s obvious you take the fact that we are married for granted.” He said.
He walked closer to her and asked, “was it not you that I made to suffer in my torture room for an entire night, but you still dared me.”
“Please forgive me. It’s just that the necklace…”
“Is it yours?”
She immediately shook her head in response, her heartbeat increasing very rapidly, “not mine, sir.”
“Is it for someone you know?” He added, “I must know why you picked it up otherwise, the rest of your days on earth may be filled with pain and misery.”
Brigitta immediately began to regret what she did. Her mouth shivering. When she thought of how she suffered an entire night in his torture room, her fear reached the sky. What in the world came upon her that gave her the boldness to take the necklace? She should have just left it! She regretted it greatly.
Ragnar Marshall went to sit and spoke, “bring the necklace here.”
“Okay, sir.” She quickly ran out and when she got to her room, she picked up the necklace but she was extremely scared to go back to his room to return the necklace to him. He would definitely hurt her.
Having no one else to call, she called the person she hated the most, Alex Roberto. When he answered, she spoke, “Alex, please I need your help… It’s urgent.” Afterall, she and Alex were once married for years and Alex was the best husband any woman could ever pray for, that was until he cheated on her. It was foolish to ask for his help but would it not be better to bring down her pride and bow before her enemy than to die in the hands of Ragnar Marshall cause only God knows what plan Ragnar had for her this night.
“What is the matter?” Alex’s flat voice came from the other end. He didn’t seem concerned or moved. “I hope it’s not about Nikolai cause I won’t let him go until you do what I want.”
“It’s not about him.” She immediately responded. “I am in Ragnar’s house. I need to escape this house with my kids. It seems he is about to do something terrible to me.”
Alex Roberto scoffed on the other end, “what are you talking about? Isn’t your husband a paralyzed imbecile? How can he hurt you?”
She completely forgot that the secret of Ragnar’s true health status is still hidden from the public so she was dumbfounded and was stuck with words.
As if Alex Roberto was guessing something, he asked, “or is there something I should know?”
She knew she would make everything worse if she confess to him that Ragnar Marshall wasn’t paralyzed as the Wigglesworth’s family assumed, he was hale and healthy as a matter of fact.
Then she suddenly heard a light grunt behind her, on turning, her heart raced heavily as she saw Ragnar Marshall standing behind her.
Has he been listening to all her conversations?
