I Will Be Fine
Whereas, Ragnar Marshall went straight to his bathroom and undressed himself, he sat naked inside the bathtub and mourned Brigitta for hours. The fact that he would never see her again kept hurting him, it’s as if a hot metal was being used to pierce his heart.
That night, it was impossible for Ragnar Marshall to sleep so he stood and went to check on Brigitta’s kids, seeing that they were all asleep, he assumed they were fine. Unknown to him that the kids had marks of beatings on their back.
Ragnar Marshall didn’t know how to break the news to the kids that their mother is dead.
The kids had always asked him at every opportunity that they had about the whereabout of their mom and he would just tell them she will be back someday.
Ragnar Marshall walked out of the house like a man that had gone crazy, it was 3AM, in the middle of the night and this time wasn’t so safe for anyone. Even when his men offered to escort him, he turned them down. He just wanted to take a walk
He kept walking tens of meters that soon turned into a hundred meter, he didn’t know where he was going exactly but he just want to walk, perhaps, the burden on his neck can be lightened. It was midnight and no one would recognize him so it was even better that way.
He had already walked more than 600 meters away when he suddenly saw a woman running from afar, she was screaming, there were about seven burly men running after her.
“Help! Help!” The woman screamed.
The woman suddenly collided on him and pleaded, “please help me? Save me from them!” Beyond the woman’s desperate plea, he could perceive a very familiar scent.
This woman? Why was she smelling like…
“Help me!” The woman Jerked him off his thoughts when she saw that he was absentminded yet the people running after her were fast approaching.
He looked up and counted the men, seeing that they were seven in numbers, he said to her, “just hide behind me.”
“Okay, sir.” The woman immediately hid behind him.
When the seven burly men got before Ragnar Marshall, they paused. The seven men were smelling of alcohol and cigarettes. One could tell that they were coming from a bar.
“Deliver that woman to us and we won’t hurt you,” one of the seven men threatened.
Ragnar Marshall smirked and repeated the word in his mind, ‘hurt him?’ He almost scoffed. “Leave this place and I’ll let you live.” He said to the seven men.
The seven men scoffed, exchanging mocking glanced, their faces suddenly turned into a serious one, one of them walked up to him and stood right before him, “you still have the mouth to talk in this empty street.”
Ragnar Marshall grabbed his neck and broke his neckbone like it was nothing. The remaining six men saw the dreadful scene before them and fear gripped them.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Let’s kill him,” one of the men shouted and they all charged at him but in a quick succession, he knocked the remaining six men to the floor.
The woman behind him was shocked. Infact, she was now more scared of Ragnar Marshall than she was of those five men. She had gone to the bar and had fun, afterall, she was still getting to know this city. She had drafted a timetable of what to do and where to visit on each day, afterall, the emperor had given her one year to find Ragnar Marshall and kill him.
In her timetable, today was to go to bar and have fun. She didn’t drink much when she went to the bar, she just went to survey the place and see how the place is. Afterall, she didn’t even remember how a bar looks like or what they do there.
But some men had approached her and offered her two hundred dollar each so that she can allow them take turns on her. When she refused, the barbaric men said they would force themselves on her so she fought her way out.
Although she can’t even remember where she learnt how to fight from but she had been told that she was once a terrorist, how can a terrorist not know how to fight?
But she’s just a woman and seven muscular men can’t be so easy to defeat so although she managed to beat a few and ran out of the bar, the seven men wouldn’t stop chasing after her. She had thought that after a while, they would stop chasing her but instead, they persist in chasing after her.
She was already getting tired when she suddenly saw a man walking through the street, although she didn’t know if this man can save her, she still trusted her fate with him. But to her surprise, this man didn’t seem to be as easy as she thought, he defeated the men easily.
Ragnar Marshall adjusted forward and turned to her, “what is your name?”
“Lin.” She answered. Seeing that she was quiet, she spoke well, “Lin is my name. Thank you so much for saving me.”
“Where’s your home?” He asked her.
“It’s far from here,” she answered.
“Let me escort you there so you can be safe,” he said and she nodded.
“Thank you so much, sir. I’m very grateful,” Brigitta said. She couldn’t recognize him since she had lost her memory.
As they both walked side by side, he couldn’t help but wonder why this woman, Lin, had the same smell as Brigitta. Not only that, she even speaks like her and what’s even surprising is that, she had the same height and body posture as her.
How weird. It’s only the face that is totally different.
“Sir, can I know your name?” Lin asked.
Ragnar Marshall didn’t want to disclose his name to a stranger since he was a popular figure, she could just make a big deal of meeting a popular figure like him in the empty street of Jora City.
“Lee is my name.” He responded while they continued walking.
“Thank you, Mr. Lee.” She said. After a long moment of silence, she spoke, “Mr. Lee, may I ask where you live? I don’t want to inconvenient you my stressing you out.”
“My house isn’t far to this place. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Ragnar Marshall said.
Eventually, they arrived at Brigitta’s house. “This is my house. Thank you so much, Mr. Lin.”
“It’s okay. Bye!” Ragnar Marshall said. For some inexplicable reason, he was interested in this woman but he also thinks it’s best to stay away from her.
He watched as Brigitta walked inside the house. Ragnar Marshall turned, he suddenly noticed something odd so he turned around and looked up, then he saw someone peeping from the house beside that of Brigitta, looking at him.
