All Novel Sweet
I Won’t Sign It
A few months passed by quickly and Cassie could be seen in the labor room labouring tiredlessly to deliver a baby. Took her twenty six hours of intense and tireless labor before she was able to deliver a baby.
With sweats all over her body, she sighed merrily and immediately said to the nurse carrying her baby, “bring my baby, let me hold him in my hands before you wash him up.”
However, she noticed the countenance on the nurse’s face was strange so she immediately asked, “what happened to my baby, is he fine?”
“He is not crying,” the nurse said even as other nurses rallied around the baby, slapping his back carefully and hoping for the baby to breath out. Air was blown repeatedly to his mouth so he could breath but it soon dawn on everyone that the baby is dead.
When the news was passed on to Cassie, she screamed in pain, “it can’t be! It can’t be!” After twenty six hours of labor, how can her baby die? She cried hard for another one hour and knew she had to do something.
It would not be easy to have sex with Ragnar Marshall again, this was the only opportunity she had and it has failed. She immediately called one of the nurses and bargained with her to provide her a baby. So the nurse did as agreed.
Another woman in another ward whose baby survived was told her baby died, whereas, her baby was only replaced with Cassie’s dead baby. The woman’s baby was then brought to replace Cassie’s baby.
Cassie left the hospital a few hours later and on getting home, she bid her twin sister, Lagartha to inform Ragnar Marshall that she had delivered. Cassie lives with her twin sister, Lagartha. Neither of them were married. After their father died many years ago, their mother went with her new boyfriend to Russia and hence, they had began to live alone together since then.
Lagartha then called Ragnar with Cassie’s phone and once Ragnar answered, Lagartha spoke, “Mr. Ragnar, this is Cassie’s twin sister. Cassie had just delivered a baby boy for you and she’s so weak right now.”
“I’ll send my assistant over to perform a DNA.” Then he hung the call up.
“He’s really as ruthless as rumored,” this was the first time Lagartha will be speaking to Ragnar Marshall on phone.
A few hours later, Lagartha went to the door to open it and then saw a stranger.
“I’m Ivan, mr. Ragnar’s assistant.” He said.
“Oh. You are welcome. I’m Lagartha, Cassie’s twin sister.” She then lead Ivan to where Cassie and the baby lay weakly.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Ivan then cut a tiny strand of the baby’s hair carefully, “he really looked beautiful.” Ivan smiled at Cassie who laid on the bed.
“Thank you.” Cassie said very weakly.
Ivan who was still on a smile said to the two ladies, “I will go ahead and perform the DNA now, once the result is out, I’ll inform my master.”
However, neither of the two sisters said a word. Nonetheless, Ivan turned in an attempt to leave.
“Erm… Mr. Ivan…” Lagartha called and Ivan turned to her, “we need you to forge the DNA test result to make it look like the baby is for Mr. Ragnar.”
Ivan was taken aback, “what do you mean?” He exchanged confused glances between the two sisters.
Cassie sat upright, still tired and weak, “I labored for twenty six hours but my baby eventually died.”
Ivan was still confused. If Cassie’s baby died then whose baby is he looking at?
“I arranged for this baby, do it for us, Mr. Ivan and tell us whatever it is you want, we will do it.” Cassie said.
“I’m so sorry you lost your baby but you must understand that I have never lied to my master. How can I let him take care of a baby that is not his? I’m sorry but I can’t do that.” Ivan said. “I don’t think there will be need for any DNA test again since the baby is not obviously for my master. I must take my leave.”
Lagartha quickly swung her body at her and placed her two hands seductively on his chest, she winked and said, “we can have fun together, Mr. Ivan.” She said as she licked her lips seductively.
“This is awkward,” he turned from her and walked away.
“We must do something.” Cassie said to Lagartha urgently.
Ivan didn’t bother going to the hospital again instead, he started driving home. While driving on a straight road, a trailer suddenly appeared from the left road and hit his car.
The accident caused commotion and people could be seen running to the scene.
About thirty minutes later, Ragnar Marshall walked inside the hospital but could only see Ivan through the transparent glass. He had gauze all over him.
“Mr. Ragnar, we found this inside the crashed car,” a police officer walked up to Ragnar while he was watching Ivan and said.
Ragnar collected the papers and on reading through it, he saw that it was the DNA test results of Cassie’s baby. The fact that he now has a baby didn’t move him. But he will fulfill his promise of taking care of the baby and giving Cassie a bit of his attention. He knows for surety that the baby will turn out to be an imbecile and die within nine months. Afterall, those were his past experiences with women who got pregnant for him.
His attention drifted fast to Ivan again then he saw a doctor walking out, “how is he?” He asked.
“He sustained serious head injury. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make it.” The doctor broke the sad news.
His memories immediately drifted to the first time he met Ivan. Ivan was assigned to him by the Wigglesworth’s family since he was young. He acts as his chaperone and they were slightly close that was until he got sold as a sex slave to Miguel Marcola. After his freedom was bought, Ivan came back to him but because of distance, they never relate as close pals again. They only maintained a boss and a servant relationship.
“Rest in peace, Ivan.” He said and took one more glance at him through the mirror then he walked out.
Ragnar Marshall received reports days later that Ivan’s death was not natural and that someone masterminded it so he immediately ordered further investigation into the case.
That same day, when he got home, he sent for Brigitta. When she appeared inside Ragnar Marshall’s room, she wouldn’t dare to enter his room unless he sent for her. “Sign that.” he pointed to a paper that was on the table.
She walked towards the table with a troubled heart. Not wanting to assume anything until she uncovered the letter. Soon, she opened the letter he told her to sign and realized it was a divorce paper.
“Sir…”
“Cassie now has my baby. It’s time I let you go with your kids but don’t ever tell anyone outside I’m well.” Seeing the look of shock on her face, he added, “I guess you want an alimony?”
“No… no… Not that. It’s just that…” She mumbled as she stared at him.
“Shouldn’t you be happy I’m finally letting you go? About the protection, of course, I’ll still protect the kids and you.” He said.
“What if I refuse?”
“And why would you?” He asked.
“Cause I already love you, sir.” She didn’t dare to say that out loud, she could only say that in her mind. But over the months, she had spent days, weeks and months fantasizing about how it would look like if an heartless man like Ragnar Marshall had fallen in love with her.
Everyone may see darkness around him but to her, she is ready to hold onto the little light around him and help him heal.
“I won’t sign it.”
