Throw These Two Women Inside The Furnace
Brigitta alighted from the cab she had taken to the company she was to be interviewed, Kenelm LTD. That was the only company that had reached out to her since her application for jobs to various companies. She hoped earnestly that she will be employed. As she attempted to walk inside the building, she saw crowds of people gathered around a tall building that was a few meters away from where she was. Then she sighted three women lined up at the top of a high rise building.
About to ignore whatever was going on there, she suddenly saw one of the three women on the last floor thrown to the ground. Her eyes fluttered in shock at the sight, there was an uproar by the crowds gathered around the building.
Seeing that the second woman was about to be thrown, she sped heavily towards the place, she even forgot she was about to go for an interview. She immediately asked one of the people gathered around the place, “what’s going on here? I just saw a woman being thrown from the top floor.”
“It was said that those three women offended Mr. Ubba. No one knows their offense but I guess they are just unfortunate,” an elderly woman responded.NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Mr. Ubba? Who’s Mr. Ubba?” She asked curiously. She wanted to know what type of man would have the gut to throw people off a tall building without being challenged by anyone, not even the government.
The woman furrowed her brow in shock, “you mean you have no idea who Mr. Ubba is? Even infants around here knows Mr. Ubba. Are you new here?”
Before Brigitta could respond to the woman, there was another loud thud, she turned her head at once and saw that the second woman had been thrown to the ground. Her heart ached for the two women that had just been thrown from such a tall building.
“I don’t care who this Mr. Ubba is…” She said and rushed inside the building then quickly took the elevator to the last floor. She was praying to get there before the last woman will be thrown. She would never allow that to happen.
Once the elevator stopped, she walked inside and saw many men in suits. Some were overly tall, some were burly, some were elderly men, but they all exuded a dangerous aura. It was like they were all a cartel, there was a thick smell of cigarettes that filled the environment. The elderly ones were seated on the sofas, smoking and drinking while those who looked like bodyguards scattered around the place. Whereas, the corporate ones on suits sat on stools.
She knew at that instance that she had entered the wrong place. What was she even thinking? Why would she come here? She suddenly sighted the last woman pleading to the man who was about to throw her from the top floor.
She was already here and there was no going back so she walked swiftly to the man holding the woman and said, “leave her at once. How cruel could you be! You already threw two women to the floor, I don’t care what they do, it’s either you report them to the police or sue them to court. Jungle justice is a no no.”
The man looked at her blankly and took a step back. No one in the room said a word. Some kept glancing at her expressionlessly while others kept drinking and smoking as though there were not aware there was a stranger in the room.
Brigitta had no idea why these people were being quiet. Aren’t they supposed to say something?
“Miss… Please don’t partake of my suffering. I have offended Mr. Ubba and I must suffer the consequences. Please leave, ” the woman about to be thrown away quickly said.
Before Brigitta could speak, she suddenly saw the change in the atmosphere. Everyone seated had now stood. No one dared to smoke nor drink again. It was as if a god would appear any moment from now.
Brigitta’s heart began to thump. Had she acted irrationally? Would would be her fate?
All of a sudden, a tall man appeared from the dark and stood. His face couldn’t be seen clearly but his figure could be seen. He looked hot and exuded an high sense of nobility.
Is this the Mr. Ubba? Brigitta thought to herself as she looked at this man. He seemed to be staring at her, at once, his voice came through, “throw these two women into the furnace!” Then he dissapeared back into the dark.
Brigitta furrowed her brow in shock. At once, about seven men bundled her and the other women and blindfolded them. In a jiffy, she saw herself and the other woman before a large burning face.
Her heart skipped. Her mind immediately went to her five kids. Her five kids already do not have a father, if she dies, they would not have a mother too. Tears rushed down her face and she quickly turned to the men, falling to her knees, “I was being irrational, please pardon me.”
The men were quiet and didn’t say a word as though they were dumb, the woman beside her was carried at once and thrown inside the furnace.
Her heart ripped apart. It was then the reality of the situation dawned on her. This Mr. Ubba is clearly not a human, he must be a beast who loves to feed on people’s dead body. At once, she was carried as well and when she was about to be thrown into the furnace, a voice spoke, “halt!”
The men dropped her at once and Brigitta immediately took her eyes to look at the man who had told those who wanted to throw her into the furnace to stop. It turned out to be an old man, he looked familiar but she couldn’t place where she had seen him.
“I’ll let you go for personal reasons. Mr. Ubba must not know that I pardon someone he had sentenced to death so I hope you keep this a secret and never cross path with Mr. Ubba again,” the elderly man said.
“Definitely, sir. Sure sir. I swear with my life to avoid anything and everything that has to do with Mr. Ubba,” Brigitta said, with fear gripping her heart tightly. She had literally seen death flash across her face when those men carried her in an attempt to throw her into the furnace.
At the signal of the elderly man, the young men there carried Brigitta and threw her out of the building. Brigitta ran a hundred meters away from the building before she eventually stopped. She crouched, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. She saw death right before her eyes today, never in her life would she mind a business that isn’t hers again.
