I Can’t Have Healthy Kids
Took a while before she found the butler, “Mr. Ivan, why did you cut my children’s hair?”
“I’m sorry, it won’t happen again,” Ivan apologized. He was holding onto a small bag in his arms. Brigitta could easily assume that her children’s hair were inside this bag.
“Then I must have their hairs back.”
“I threw it inside the bin already. I must leave now.” The butler said and turned, ready to walk inside his room.
“I don’t want to be rude, Mr. Ivan.” She said and Ivan turned back at once, “I know you cut the hair of my children to perform a DNA test. Apparently, the explanation I gave you isn’t enough. Where is my children’s hair?”
“Mrs. Brigitta…” Ivan saw that he was clearly caught so he changed his expression from that of an innocent one to his real expression. He smirked and said, “are you scared?”
“Scared?”
“I will perform the DNA and confirm if my master is the father of the kids or not. Now leave.” He said and turned to the door. He twisted the knob and walked in.
Brigitta felt like snatching the bag that was in the butler’s hand and running away with it but that would be an irrational act. Nonetheless, she has to do something. There is no doubt in her mind that Ragnar Marshall was the father of her children but she must never let him find out. But if Ivan can successfully get the DNA test done, the truth of the matter will be revealed.
Should she compromise and beg Ivan not to go ahead with the test or should she find a way to steal her children’s hair from him, if that will ever be possible? She remained on the spot when all of a sudden, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Ivan who called, she immediately answer it. “Mrs. Brigitta, my master requires your presence in his study.”
“Okay, but Mr. Ivan, can we…” She noticed that Ivan already hung the call up. She sighed and quickly went to Ragnar’s study. On getting there, she saw him standing and looking through the window. He was backing her.
“Good evening, sir.”
“You were standing before Ivan’s room. What do you want from him?” He asked, still standing straight and backing her.
“I… I was…” Thinking swiftly on whether to tell him the truth. Will he insist that the DNA test he performed or will he help her get the hair back? Why would he even help her when Ivan was closer to him than she is.
He turned back slowly to her, she had to raise her head up to behold his intimidating tall face, she didn’t know how the truth spilled out of her mouth, “he went to my children’s room and cut their hair. I don’t know what he needs it for but it’s rude and barbaric. I want my children’s hair back and wanted to warn him to stay away from my children.”
He took two large strides towards her and said, “prepare me a cup of coffee.”
“Got it, sir.” She immediately walked out of his study.
In a few minutes, she was back with the cup of coffee but on entering, she saw Ivan standing before Ragnar.
“Miss Brigitta, I’m very sorry. Please have the hair.” Then Ivan handed over the hair of the children he cut to her.
She had no idea what had transpired but at least, she was able to get the hair back. “Mr. Ivan, please do me the favor of staying away from my children.”
“Noted, mrs. Brigitta.” He said with a slight bow.
With a facial gesture from Ragnar, Ivan immediately dissapeared from the room. “Thank you so much, sir.”
As if he didn’t hear what she said, he requested, “the coffee?”
She immediately walked closer and placed it before him. The coffee was very hot that the steams could be seen. She then turned hoping she could now leave.
“Who says you can leave?”
She paused and at once and apologized, “I’m sorry, sir.”
“Feed me!”
“Sir?” She thought she didn’t hear what he said well.
He grabbed the cup of coffee and threw it to the floor. “Clean the mess up and get me another coffee ”
Her eyebrows furrowed in shock. Quietly, she immediately walked out to bring the mopping stick. After cleaning the mess, she went out with the empty cup. Took her another ten minutes to make another hot coffee then she brought it over.
“Sir…” She said as she placed it on his table.
“Feed me!” He ordered again.
This time, she didn’t dare to ask him to repeat what he said. Only that it felt weird feeding an adult. She immediately walked to his table, while standing beside him, she dipped the spoon inside coffee and got a spoonful of the coffee then took it gently to his mouth but he did not open it.
“Taste it!” He ordered.
“Oh!” She immediately took the spoon to her mouth and swallowed it.
“Shall I get another spoon? I’m not sure you can use this spoon since I’ve used it?” She asked.
“That’s right.”
Oh! She immediately sped away and went to take another spoon, she soon stood beside him again and then got another spoonful, but still, he didn’t open his mouth to receive it.
“It’s time to attend meeting with the commanders of the the Wigglesworth’s Clan. Get dressed and meet me outside.” Then he stood and walked out.
Brigitta heart ripped apart. What if those commanders kill him? She was not ready to die yet she had no choice but to follow him. She will just have to trust that he can protect her.
But why did he make her prepare coffee twice when he knew he wouldn’t even take a slip. Such a weird man!
Well, she had been married to a monster, she must learn to adapt to this horrible lifestyle. In a jiffy, she got dressed and went to joined him outside.
Soon, they were being driven by Ivan. At Ragnar’s order, the partition of the car was drawn making it impossible for anyone in the front seat to see what’s going on at the backseat.
Brigitta wondered why the partition was drawn, Brigitta became very tense and glanced at Ragnar’s handsome side profile as they were both seated beside eachother at the backseat.
“Did you know I’m a monster?” He asked.
How can she be so foolish to answer ‘yes.’ Of course, he’s a monster. “No, sir…”
He looked at her and said, “just say ‘yes.’ cause that’s the truth. But when I mean monster, I am not talking in parables, I’m talking literally. I’m truly a monster.” While still staring deep into her face, he said, “did you know that every women I have had intercourse with in the past, gets pregnant.”
“Oh…” That’s a good thing, isn’t it? She wondered how that makes him a monster.
“And then those women give birth to babies. But not actual babies, they are deformed babies. It’s either the baby is an imbecile, or one with broken nervous system, or one with a deformed leg or one with a deformed face. After a few months, these babies always die. They don’t make it pass ten months.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Her eyes almost fell out of her socket on hearing that.
“I can’t have healthy babies. It’s my fate!” He declared and finally look away from her. He spoke after a deadpan silence, “Ivan took your children’s hair cause he was suspicious your children may be mine but he’s mistaken. Although your kids had a slight resemblance with me, I know they are not mine. I don’t need a DNA. For I have been cursed to only produce monsters. Ivan had been given a clear warning to stay away from your kids.”
This time, the car had already reached the destination so he stepped down of the car. Took a while before Brigitta got a hold of herself and also stepped down.
