I Do Not Know Where He Is
Ragnar Marshall and Brigitta walked towards the building and once the two bodyguards standing at the entrance saw them, he opened the translucent glass door to them respectfully.
Brigitta looked around the blue light room, there were men in grey suits already seated, soon, she sat with Ragnar. The table already had all sort of delicacies before it so the meeting just commenced.
However, Brigitta soon noticed that the head of commander’s voice seems familiar and to her greatest surprise, the head of the commander was Alex Roberto. Not only has Alex become a CEO of a very big company in the city, he has even now become the head commander for the Wigglesworth’s family. He is really an ambitious man.
Took an hour before the meeting came to an end. The commanders had spoken on behalf of the Wigglesworth’s family asking what feud Ragnar had with the Wigglesworth’s family and that they were willing to settle it amicably to which Ragnar had replied that the Wigglesworth’s family will pay for everything they had done to him. No matter how much the commanders tried to persuade him, he refused to give in the full details.
The commanders had addressed him as Mr. Ubba, they had no idea he was Ragnar, the last son of the Wigglesworth’s family. The commander then went further to tell him to state any amount of money he needs. Afterall, they were aware of the power and influence ‘Mr. Ubba’ willed to which he replied by saying only the destruction of the entire Wigglesworth’s clan can satisfy him.
Since the meeting was over, Ragnar Marshall walked over to his car. He had expected for Brigitta to follow him but to his surprise, he didn’t see Brigitta in sight. He soon got inside the car and then said to Ivan who was by the steering, “call that woman to come here immediately.”
“Okay, sir.” Ivan immediately place a call across to Brigitta to which she answered.
“Mrs. Brigitta, we are waiting for you.”
“I’ll join you in a few seconds, please.” She said and immediately hung the call up.
Alex Roberto had suddenly dragged Brigitta into a slightly dark room while she was following after Ragnar Marshall, “let go!” She yanked her hand off angrily and asked, “what in the world is wrong with you?”
“I assume you are beginning to see how powerful and influential I am, Brigitta,” Alex Roberto said with a smirk on his face.
“CEO? Commander? What else are you?” She asked confidently, “I don’t even care if you’re an emperor. Just stay away from me.” She felt like she needs to put Alex in his place this time.
She added, “as you can see, despite lieing against me before Ragnar Marshall, here I am with him. You lost! And you will always loose.”
He turned on the light in the room and said, “Brigitta, the fact that you caught me having sex with your bestfriend and your sister doesn’t mean I stopped loving you.”
“You must be a fool!”
He snickered and suddenly grabbed her wrist then slammed her back against the wall, “why did you think I’ve been working hard to increase my influence? It’s so I can make you mine irrespective of either you want it or not.”
She spat in his face and tried to force her hands off his firm grip but it was impossible, “let me go, you fool!” She screamed atop her lungs then kicked him in the groin.
“How dare you!” He slapped her with the back of her hand and said to her, “I swear that you will become my mistress, either you like it or not.” Then he threw her to the right side of the room and walked out.
Her back ached , her dress had become a mess but even more, she was so angry at him. They had broken up and are no longer together, how dare he treat her this way? While she was gathering herself together and standing up, her phone rang and she answered it, hearing Ivan spoke, she immediately assured him she will be with him and Ragnar in a few seconds.
She soon walked out of the building and got inside the car. As the car began to move, the partition of the car was drawn up then Ragnar Marshall glanced at her. He was a little surprised to see red marks on her face as if she was slapped.
“Who did this to you?” He asked.
She looked at him but didn’t want to burden him with her problem so she lied, “I am fine, sir.”
He looked away without saying any more word, when they got home, he asked her before he stepped down from the car, “who did this to you?”
She wondered in fear as to why he was asking this same question again, she then responded truthfully, “my ex husband, sir. Alex Roberto.”
He opened the door of the car and stepped out wordlessly. She wondered what he will do as she also stepped down. She had thought that the meeting would be a bloody one but it turned out to be a very civil meeting.
What she couldn’t understand was why Ragnar Marshall wants to destroy the entire Wigglesworth’s clan. Once she was inside, she went to the bathroom and stood before the mirror, seeing the obvious mark on her cheek, she gritted her teeth in anger. Her hatred for Alex Roberto increased so much that she wished she can bury him alive, she promised herself to teach him a lesson.
Alex Roberto probably underrated her because she was just a woman who doesn’t have as much influence as him. She proceeded to shower and then stepped out. She almost screamed on seeing the person seated on her bed.
“Mr. Ragnar…”
“Why did you give your husband audience when you are supposed to be following me out?.” He asked. She only had a towel around her and she wasn’t even wearing a pant yet so she felt very uncomfortable.
“He dragged me forcefully inside a room, sir.”
“Despite your innocent face, I sometimes think you are nothing but a slut.”
“I’m not a slut, sir.” She immediately defended, “my ex husband is only being a jerk. He’s bullying me because he’s…”
“Because you allowed yourself to be bullied. You are such a cheap woman!” He said. His words went like sharp knife to her heart, piercing it ruthlessly. Yet, she could only remain quiet.
He added after a few seconds of silence, “I won’t interfere in your relationship with you and your ex husband, afterall, you even forgot your necklace with him the last time he fucked you. How disgusting!” He felt so much disgust towards her.
He didn’t like women that are loose and cheap. “Follow me!”
“Sir, can I quickly change?” Afterall, she was still on a towel.
He walked out without replying her. She quickly wore a jean and a top then ran quickly after him. Soon, they entered a very strange room.
He suddenly grabbed her left arm and she let out a painful scream cause it’s like he would break her muscles then he tied her to the pole in the room. She suddenly let out repeated screams when she felt a very hot water drop to her head. She looked up and saw something like a machine that keeps dropping the hot water like dew.
Every five seconds, the hot water will drop on her. “Please… This is painful.” She cried, even as the hot water kept dropping on her face, scarring her face while he just stood before her, watching emotionlessly. Was all these because he thought she gave her husband audience?
“I’m not punishing you because of whatever is happening between you and your ex-husband. I’m just soothing myself of the pain Miguel Marcola caused me years ago. You only have to tell me where he is hiding and I won’t have to punish you anymore.”
“I do not know where he is…” She cried and begged repeatedly but he only stood firm and ignored her. After twenty minutes, he walked away. Whereas, she was still tied to the pole, suffering the intense effect of the excruciating pain that the hot water was causing her.
That time was around 11PM, she was on that spot all through the night, crying in agony and wishing for escape.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
