Do You Still Want To Go?
“Fine, let me have the divorce paper,” Brigitta demanded.
“Now you are talking,” Langbrók smiled and handed over the divorce paper to her, “put your signature here.” She signed it at once. Then she was asked to call Ragnar Marshall to come around.
Before Ragnar Marshall came, Cassie and Langbrók had already left, “what’s with the urgent call!” Ragnar Marshall was having an underground meeting when he received Brigitta’s call.
“I’m likely to be sentenced to death tomorrow. Please sign the divorce papers.” She said.
“Who prepared this divorce paper for you? Cause I’m sure you wouldn’t make it yourself,” Ragnar Marshall asked.
“Mr. Ragnar, you will be doing me lots of favor by signing this papers. It’s my only way to freedom.” She admitted.
“But I promised to get you out. Why don’t you trust me?”
“Two weeks had passed and it’s not looking like I’ll get out of here. I have missed my children, freedom is everything that matters to me right now.” Brigitta said.
“Don’t be a fool, Brigitta. There is nothing I can do until the court day which is tomorrow. Like I told you earlier, your case is before the public and it’s hard for me to pass through out-of-the-book means to get you out.”
“There is no prove I’ll be out, just sign it, please. Please, do this for me.” She pleaded.
“If it’s what you want, ” he signed on it and walked away.
She felt bad for making him sign the divorce paper but he needs to understand that she has to be free.
When it was the following day, at court, her lawyer and the state’s lawyer spoke one after the other. One accusing, while the other was defending. But to Brigitta’s surprise, there was no attempt from her father’s side to even get her out eventhough she has done what he wanted.
But to her surprise, not only did her new lawyer spoke eloquently and confidently, he even provided substantial evidence to back up his claims. The evidences were too convincing that her hope for freedom had already rised high before the judge could even make his proclamation.
The proclamations were made by the judge and her freedom was declared. Happiness rose in her and she almost screamed for joy but she was in the court of law. She must comport herself.
She was released and lead out of the court room, afterall, the judge has other cases to attend to.
Once she was out, she looked around for any familiar faces, except Cassie and her father, there was no one else she was familiar to.
The new lawyer who spoke on her behalf walked up to her and said, “congratulations on your freedom, Mrs. Brigitta.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Your thanks should be to Mr. Ragnar, “the lawyer smiled and walked away.
Ragnar Marshall… This man helped her again. Her only pain right now was that she didn’t trust him, she had made him sign the divorce papers and now, they are no longer a thing. She must now pack out of his house. Thinking about it made her feel like a sharp knife pierced her heart. She was so uncomfortable and unhappy.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Then she saw her father and Cassie walked up to her, honestly, it still hurts so bad that her father just didn’t like her. She may pretend like she didn’t care but how can a father not have even an ounce of affection for his own daughter?
Was she that bad to him? Not only has he supported her stepmother and her stepsister over the years, he was even now supporting a stranger, he chose her bestfriend over her? Did she did something to wrong him when she was young?
“You see… we got you out,” Langbrók tried to claim the glory. “You have signed the divorce papers so we just told the judge to tamper justice with mercy and let you go.”
She knew they were lying, if her freedom was up to them, she would probably be on her way to the city’s maximum security prison right now.
“You did nothing, it’s Ragnar Marshall that got me out of here despite the fact that I have divorced him. If you will excuse me,” then she walked away from them.
Cassie caught up with her and asked, “Brigitta, I think you should carry your luggage away from Ragnar Marshall’s house today, afterall, you are no longer married to him.”
“You don’t have to tell me that,” Brigitta said and walked further away from her. She soon got a cab that took her away from the scene.
Cassie believed that she has Ragnar Marshall to herself now but she still think that if Brigitta continues working at Ragnar’s company, expecially as his CEO, Ragnar and Brigitta may still end up together somehow. She must ensure that she destroy her career too just like she had destroyed her marriage.
As at the time Brigitta got home, her children were not home. They had gone to school. But she has to leave this house for an hotel, she wouldn’t mind living in an hotel until she is able to get her own apartment. But she’s clearly unwanted here.
After she had packed her luggage and that of her children, she dragged them to the living room all by herself eventhough they were heavy.
When she was about to carry the luggage outside, the door opened. Seeing Ragnar Marshall, she quickly greeted, “good morning, sir.”
Although Ragnar Marshall didn’t respond, she went on to speak, “thanks so much for freeing me, sir.”
“I told you to trust me but for the second time, you refused.”
“I am so sorry.” She apologized, “I am already leaving, sir.”
“I didn’t put my actual signature on the divorce paper, I scribbled nonsense there as signature.” He said.
She furrowed her brow, “sir…”
“Do you really want to go? I know you were under durex by your father and that was why you insist I sign on the papers. Now that you are free, do you still want to go?”
