It seems as if her life was about to take a massive turn, would she be kept here for life? Then the door opened, that was after a long while that she had stayed there and Alex walked in. He was dressed in the Maridonna’s soldier’s uniform and there was a captain badge by his shoulder.
“Welcome,” he said with a wicked smirk. “Finally, you are here.”
She stood from the mattress but didn’t say a word. At the end, she was now at his mercy.
“I must say I’m surprised that the paralyzed last son of the Wigglesworth’s family is actually the Mr. Ubba the Wigglesworth’s family fear.” He smirked, “and that happens to be your husband.”
She was stunned at how Alex found out these secret, she knew at once that Cassie must have told Alex about it otherwise, there was no way he would know.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You are married to the man we all want to kill,” Alex Roberto said. “Just because of one man, the entire Wigglesworth’s family had to come here for protection. Even I, ran here for my dear life.” He cackled but he’s not a ghost, he’s just a human being and he has blood running through him, with the help of the Maridonna emperor, we will destroy him.”
“Why are you holding me here?”
“I think you already know,” he answered. “You can either stay here for the rest of your life or agree to be my mistress. You choose. If you agree, I publicly proclaim you as my mistress and you will be a free woman once again. Infact, you can send for your other kids and bring them over here to live with you. We can live a happy ever after here.” He said. “And if you want us to go back to Jora City, that’s possible but we must defeat Ragnar Marshall firstly, so what do you say?”
“I say No.” She answered without thinking.
He cackled, “that’s okay.” Then he walked out.
She was not served food nor water for days. After seven days had passed, she laid weakly on the bed, extremely thirsty and hungry, the door opened and Alex Roberto appeared again, “seven days had passed. Will you become my mistress?”
“I’m not… scared of death…” She managed to say, her eyes turning on its own as if she would die any moment from now. There was no ounce of energy in her.
“I like stubborn women. Just so you know, when you die, I’ll kidnap your other four kids here and let them live the most miserable life, I’ll let them live like slaves in this palace. And if I leave now, I’ll come back after seven days. Are you sure you can survive forteen days without food and water?” He asked but she didn’t say a word.
He hummed and began to walk away, when he was about reaching the door, she opened her mouth to utter a word but her strength failed her. He turned and said, “bring down your pride and agree to be my mistress.”
Seeing that she didn’t say any word still, he walked away.
Three days passed by quickly and she was dieing, this time, she was almost giving up. The door opened and someone unfamiliar walked in.
“Brigitta.”
She recognized the voice at once and looked at his face, the face was unfamiliar but the voice was familiar. “I put a skin-mask on, we must leave now.”
She nodded and he tried to help her up but she didn’t even have the strength to stand. So he carried her in a bridal style and helped her out. Brigitta saw many soldiers lay dead, then he navigated his way through a narrow hallway and then they took stairs downstairs and found their way out. But they did not pass through the front door, neither the backdoor. There is an emergency exit reserved for the emperor alone, this was where they passed.
Once they were out, he carried her through the woods and they eventually got into a house, but the house was empty, not a thing was there.
He removed his camo and laid it down then placed her on it, then he quickly went outside and cut some dried woods, he gathered them together and lighted fire on it with the help of stones. Then he placed the yams in his bag in the fire and after it had burnt and cooked, he took them inside and scraped the burnt part away. He firstly fed her from the bag of water in his hands firstly then began to feed her the yam. Although the yam wasn’t so pleasant, they had to endure. She ate while lying down. After she had ate to her satisfaction, she mumbled, “thank you, sir.” In a jiffy, she fell asleep.
Ragnar Marshall used the opportunity to go out and look for more bags of water to steal. Since it was nighttime, not only did he stole bags of water, he also stole foodstuffs from houses while ensuring he didn’t wake anyone up after which he came back to the house that Brigitta was.
Brigitta slept sound all night while Ragnar Marshall stayed awake. He was used to an uncomfortable and hard lifestyle, afterall, he spent majority of his life as a sex slave.
He risked his life to come over to Maridonna and risked everything he had worked for in the past five years just for Brigitta. Thanks to his spies who were able to find the secret entry and exit into the palace but still, it was dangerous. He still had to take down a few men while ensuring they didn’t make noise while he was navigating his way to the room Brigitta was kept.
Ragnar Marshall squatted before her and checked her temperature, it was calm and not as hot as it was when he was carrying her out. Then, her body was literally burning his and he was worried she may die.
