You Can Both Sleep In My Bed
When she found the children, she noticed they were four instead of five. She didn’t find Chester, “where is Chester? Where is Chester? Where is Chester?” She asked repeatedly like a woman running mad.
“Once big man took him away after the school bus dropped us,” Rome answered.
“What! Big man!” She ran outside immediately to meet Beocca. “It’s true, it’s true. Chester had been kidnapped. We must save him.”
“Get in,” Beocca said and at once, they both got inside the car. In a jiffy, they drove to the seaport. She stepped down from the car hurriedly and ran to where the ships were. There was a ship loading but there was another ship that had already taken off.
She didn’t know which one Alex was. “Let me search in here,” Beocca said. He was about to search the ship that was still loading.
Brigitta can only pray that Alex wouldn’t be in the ship that was already moving.
All of a sudden, someone shouted her name from the ship that was already moving, “Brigitta! My dear Brigitta! My love!”
Seeing that this person was Alex, she immediately called Beocca to come. Beocca also came and saw Alex standing inside the ship that was already moving.
“But he’s not with the baby,” just as Beocca finished saying this, Alex bent as if he wanted to take something then he carried a baby up up and said, “this is Chester, our baby!” He shouted.
When Brigitta saw Chester, her heart bleed. “Oh my days! He’s carrying my child away.” Not thinking about the consequence, she jumped into the sea and began to swim towards the ship.
Beocca knew she was going to die should there be a storm in the sea, he jumped inside and swam forward until he reached her. He stopped her from moving and said, “it’s impossible to meet them, the ship has already sailed.”
From inside the sea, Brigitta watched with tears as Chester shouted, “mommy! Mommy! Save me!”
Beocca had to force Brigitta out of the sea. Brigitta’s mood went flat, she’s like a woman who had suddenly gone psycho. As Beocca drove her home, she just went quiet like a dead woman. First, she lost her bestfriend and now, she lost her baby. Chester hasn’t even fully recovered yet, he had been kidnapped.
Brigitta felt like she can never be happy again in this life, unless of course, Chester appeared by a miracle. After confirming that her other four kids are fine, she went inside her room and lock herself up.
She didn’t go to work the following day eventhough she did ensured her children went to school. And a day after as well, she refused to eat nor drink neither did she go out.
She had taken permission from work so when Ragnar Marshall didn’t see her at work, he just felt like she was probably sick or had other reasons for not coming to work. But when he didn’t see her at work the following day, he decided to ask why.
When he got home that day, he sent for her to come to his room and she did. He noticed her swollen eyes and her lean face, also, she had grown leaner and she looked like someone who had a heavy burden on.
She sat at his gesture then he spoke, “why haven’t you been at work?”
She sighed sadly, “Alex Roberto killed Nikolai and also took Chester away to Maridonna.”
He knew that Alex Roberto had gone to Maridonna, he just didn’t know he killed someone before going. He even took one of her children away.
“Why would he do that? What did he want with your kids?”
“He wants me to become his mistress by all means but I have refused, hence, he kept on being a thorn in my flesh,” she said very sadly.
“More reasons for you to put more effort in your training,” he said. “We are going to war with Maridonna kingdom anyways, if we defeat them, not only do you get Chester back, you also defeat the so called thorn in your flesh,” He said.
Brigitta just lowered her head sadly, she knew of course that they would go to war, she just wasn’t sure when. She was scared of whatever life Chester would be subjected to overthere. She had thought about how her son would be over there. Would he be crying cause he missed her or would he just stay in one corner, sad. Would he be given food properly or will he be starved? These thoughts just ached her heart.
She raised her head up, tears lingering in her eyes, “is there no way you can help?”
“We have spies at Maridona. I’ll send word to them to find out the status of your kid and then find a way to bring him back.” He said.
Hearing that, her badly aching heart eased a bit. “Thank you so much, thank you.”
“It’s okay to feel sad cause of the sudden departure of your baby but you have four other kids that needs you. For their sake, you must wake up.” He advised.
She nodded as if agreeing with what he said.
“I’ll advise you resume work as soon as you can,” he said.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“I’ll definitely resume work tomorrow, sir.” At His gesture for her to leave, she stood. “Erm… You said you want me to sleep beside you overnight some days ago?”
“Yes.”
“How about today?” She asked.
“You can come back when it’s night time. The door will be opened,” he said and she nodded. Then she walked away.
When it was late at night, Brigitta appeared before his door and knocked gently.
“Come in.” At his words, she opened the door and walked in. But she was surprised to see Cassie laying on the bed, she was dressed in only a bra and a pant.
Seeing the expression on her face, he spoke, “I have rights to the both of you. You can both sleep in my bed this night.”
