Let Me Sleep Beside You
Ragnar Marshall’s heart skipped in fear. If it was that weird boy, Dian that was kidnapped, he wouldn’t really mind but Brigitta’s kids? Although those kids aren’t his, he still treats them as though they were his. For the love he had for Brigitta, how could he let any harm come against those kids.
“Might be that woman, Lin,* Ragnar Marshall said. Took a few seconds before he suddenly stood. “Prepare fifty men, I know where she lives.”
“Alright, sir.” Ottar immediately walked out.
About thirty five minutes later, they arrived at Lin’s place, “bring every single soul you find in there to this place!” He commanded.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Ottar and twenty five of the men walked in speedily and began to ransack the house but unfortunately, they returned with a negative report, “not a single soul is in there. Infact, it looked like whoever is living there had already moved.”
Ragnar Marshall didn’t expect so much from a woman, he must give it to Lin that she was really very smart. He didn’t see Lin as a threat and that was why he didn’t really pay her more attention eventhough he knows she must be working for some people who are clearly against him.
What if she’s taking the kids to Maridonna? Cause just two days ago, the Maridonna opened their border again for movement to and fro.
“Go to the seashore and investigate if she has been there.” Ragnar Marshall commanded. At once, Ottar and the men drove away leaving Ragnar Marshall alone on the spot.
He sat on the bonnet of his car and stared blankly at the house. Then he decided to call her and once the call went through, it was answered. “Lin.”
“Hi, Mr. Lee.” She greeted. “It’s been a long time.”
“Indeed.” Ragnar Marshall said. “Can we see?” Ragnar Marshall acted like he was ignorant of her acts.
“Why not? Where can we see?”
“Perhaps, I can come over to your place,” Ragnar Marshall said.
“Oh! Well, that’s fine. When should I be expecting you?”
“I don’t really have much to do now, so I’ll just start coming.”
“Okay, but I already moved out of where I was staying. I’ll send you my new address.”
“Alright,” Ragnar Marshall said and hung the call up.
He waited until she sent her new address after which she drove very speedily to the place. Just when he arrived there, Ottar called him and he answered, “sir, there is no traces of that woman at the airport.”
“I’ve located her new house. I’ll send you the address, just hang around until I tell you what to do.” Ragnar Marshall said.
Ottar was stunned that Ragnar was able to find her location in that short period of time, “okay, sir.”
After Ragnar Marshall hung the call up, he sent his live location to Ottar and then walked inside Brigitta’s house.
When Lin saw him, he adored his hotness and handsomeness. As though she had never seen him before, she was seeing him in a new light. “Welcome, my friend.”
Ragnar Marshall smirked and went to sit at her gesture, she also sat and then spoke, “I’m surprised at the sudden visit.”
“Just missing you, that’s all, “Ragnar Marshall said and she chuckled.
“I’m sorry for what happened the previous time.” She apologized.
“It’s okay. It’s all over the news now that Ragnar Marshall’s kids had been kidnapped by a woman,” Ragnar Marshall said.
“Oh really! That’s quiet sad. Why would anyone kidnap his children?”
“Well, I think you are that woman.” Ragnar Marshall said.
“What! Why would you label me with such a heavy accusation? What can a petite woman like me do?” She asked.
“If you are telling the truth, why don’t you let me search the entire house,” he said.
“Mr. Lee… It seems you are really working for Ragnar Marshall, I can tell from the way you sound,” Brigitta said.
“I’m not working for him, Lin. But I need to be sure I’m safe around you. Now will you let me search? If you are not hiding anything here, why can’t you just let me check?” Ragnar Marshall asked. He could have just told Ottar and his men to search the house but that will give him up as a powerful figure. He didn’t want her to see him from that perspective, that’s the only way he can get to find out the mystery around her.
Brigitta sighed and looked away for a few seconds, “I don’t know why this hurts.”
“What hurts?”
“The fact that you don’t trust me, Mr. Lin. Do I look like a criminal?”
“Of course not, ” Ragnar Marshall answered.
“Fine, check all you want,” she said, tears streaming down her face.
Ragnar Marshall stood and walked inside. A sardonic smile crawled up her lips, the tears that came out of her face was only a fake one.
Ragnar Marshall searched from room to room but at the end, he didn’t see any traces of the kids. He walked back to her, a little confused. Has she moved them out of here or was she not the woman who kidnapped his kids?
Ragnar Marshall sat back and apologized, “my sincere apology.”
“It’s okay,” she started crying again. Although Ragnar Marshall didn’t feel like the cry was a genuine one, he still comforted her.
They talked about a few random things for another two hours after which Ragnar Marshall left for home. Then he ordered a full investigation on the sudden dissapearance of his kids. At this point, everyone is a suspect.
Ragnar Marshall walked up to Cassie’s room and twisted the knob slowly, she saw her curled up on her bed, she had a swollen face on, “I will find the kids.” He knew she was feeling sad because of the kids.
“Whoever bypassed the security structure that was built around the kids and kidnapped them definitely would be so hard to find. I’m so unhappy right now,” she said sadly.
Ragnar Marshall moved closer to her, “Many challenges have come my way and trust me, I always overcome. I won’t want you to worry too much, okay?”
Cassie looked at him with sad expression and said, “can you please let me sleep beside you this night, it will comfort me?”
“That’s fine,” Ragnar Marshall said. Afterall, Cassie had been a mother for all of his kids. It’s only right that he makes her comfortable.
That night, Ragnar Marshall and Cassie slept on the same bed overnight.
