I Need To Go Now
She immediately placed a call across to Beocca and once he answered, she explained the situation of things to her.
“We will go together in that case.” Beocca said.
That night, Beocca and Brigitta went to the Langbrók’s mansion and at once, Brigitta stepped out of the car while Beocca remained in the backseat of the car.
Beocca had placed a microphone chip and a small camera on her body so that he would be able to hear and see whatever Brigitta’s father says and do.
Brigitta then walked inside and once she saw her father smoking in the living room, she said, “I know you plan on setting me up again. Where’s the album?”
“Come and sit, my daughter,” Langbrók said as he continued smoking seriously.
She went over to sit before him and asked, “where’s my mother’s photo album?”
“I’ll give you. What’s the rush for?” Langbrók asked. “Brigitta, I have been a very bad father…”
“Don’t start. Don’t even start,” Brigitta stood impatiently, “I guess I’ll search the house myself for it.”
Langbrók brought out the album and asked, “why stress yourself when it’s here with me.”
“Then hand it over to me now,” she demanded.
Langbrók shook his head and responded, “no!”
“No, why? What then did you call me here for?” She asked.
“Like I said, be patient and hear me out,” Langbrók said.
“Okay.” She said. There was no need for her to be impatient since Beocca is outside, watching and listening to all that is going on here.
“I want you to follow me to Maridonna.” Her father said and she couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You are joking, right?”
“The best life is reserved for you over there. That is where Chester lives, just bring the other four kids with you,” her father said.
“Nice try,” she scoffed, “I won’t go. And as for Chester, he’s my son and not yours so let me worry about my son.”
He hummed and said, “I can actually take you there forcefully.”
“Forcefully, huh? How?” She laughed. “Why don’t you try?” She was ready to fight her father if he tries nonsense or if he even tries to move closer to her.
Langbrók suddenly took out an object and covered his nose with it then he released a sleeping gas inside the room. Seeing that her father had released a toxic substance in the room, she ran towards the door, trying to escape but just a breath-in of the substance is enough to make her fall asleep.
Langbrók scoffed and stood. He then walked towards where she laid and said, “if I don’t take you to Maridonna, how will I find Prince Guthred’s favor?” Apparently, Guthred had asked him to bring Brigitta over for a prize.
Just when she was about to carry Brigitta, the door flung open and Beocca appeared, “have you really become this heartless, Langbrók?”
Langbrók was stunned to see his brother, “Beocca, what in the world are you doing here? I thought we had an agreement?”
“And so? That does not mean I’ll watch you kill my daughter,” Beocca said.
Many years ago, when Brigitta’s mom and Langbrók were newly married, they couldn’t have kids even after two years had passed in their marriage. When they went to the hospital for test, the doctor said Brigitta’s mother is fine but that Langbrók is infertile. So one of the following nights, Langbrók drugged his unsuspecting wife, Brigitta’s mother and made his brother, Beocca, sleep with her.
Bringitta’s mother, Larisa had woke up beside Langbrók, her husband the following morning thinking it was her husband she spent the night with. And that one night stand was what produce Brigitta. Langbrók had always known that he was never the biological father of Brigitta rather, it was his brother, Beocca so he resented Brigitta since then. Infact, he had to start keeping an affair outside.
But Langbrók had an agreement with Beocca then that he must never show up around Brigitta’s life then and forever and that was why Beocca had been away from Brigitta’s life for years, but for how long can he abandon his own daughter?
Langbrók was furious, “you do understand that you are not supposed to be around her, right?”
“She’s my daughter and I’ll always be there to protect her. Now back off Langbrók, I’m taking her home.” Beocca bent and carried Brigitta.
“Brother, you are playing with death,” Langbrók threatened.
“You can’t do anything,” Beocca carried Brigitta away from the scene and dropped her carefully in his car then he started the ignition of the car and drove off.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Brigitta woke up in one of the house in the training arena, Beocca dared not take her to his home, infact, he didn’t even want Brigitta to know his house, neither could he take an unconscious Brigitta to the house that she’s living as Ragnar Marshall would be aware and hence suspect so he could only take her to the training arena.
When Brigitta woke up, she had tears on her face, she had dreamt of her father, Langbrók beating her repeatedly.
When Beocca walked inside the room to check if she had woken up, he was stunned to see her crying, “Brigitta, what’s the matter?”
“Uncle…” She cried, “what did I do to my dad? Why has he never liked me?”
She lowered her head and sobbed more, “He had never for once show me fatherly love, uncle. Yet, I love him as my father. I can act before him like I don’t care but I really do care. I even see strangers receive my father’s love yet he wouldn’t even mind killing me.”
Becocca stood, watching her pitifully and quietly.
She eventually cleaned the tears on her face and sobbed inward, she sat upright on the bed and asked Beocca, “where am I, uncle?”
“In the training arena,” Beocca answered.
She nodded and said, “I must go home.”
“It’s still 3AM in the morning, I think you should wait until the day has brightened before you leave,” Beocca advised.
“No, I need to go now.” She stood from the bed, extremely sad. There is her father who hates her, there is one of her son that had been away from her for months and there is Cassie scheming all sorts against her.
