The Love Liza Never Knew

The Big Surprise

Over the next couple of months, I started to see Johan less and less. It is so bitter sweet because, since he has been spending more time with his side woman Bethany, I haven't had to deal with his rage fits and he's been a bit more sweet to me. I have been under the weather a bit, so when Johan is here he helps a bit more, but he won't stay in the room with me because he can't afford to catch the cold I have. He's even stopped having s*x with me over the last month. I called the doctor and, due to a cancellation they had, they can fit me in today, which is great because whatever I have caught I am ready to shake this so I can feel normal again. I called up to Johan's office and, of course, Bethany answered and gave me attitude when I asked to speak to Johan. When he answers the phone, he asks me if everything is alright. I let him know that I needed him to send the driver to me at 11:45 so that I could get to my doctor's appointment on time. He says okay and that we need to talk when he gets home from work. When we hang up, his words replay in my head and it makes me feel uneasy, as if he's going to tell me he's leaving me for her. It honestly wouldn't be the worst idea ever, but it will break my heart that his w***e of an assistant was the one to make him into a better man.

11:45 and the doorman calls up to let me know that the car is waiting for me. I grabbed my things and locked up the penthouse before heading down and getting into the car. I gave the driver the address and after 20 minutes we arrived at the doctor's office. I headed in to get signed in. The nurse called me back and had me give a sample of urine before heading back to the room where she took my vitals, then told me to get undressed and the doctor would be in shortly. I put the gown on and climbed up on the table and waited for the doctor. I hear a knock at the door and I say "come in". The doctor opened the door and walked in.

"Hello Mrs.Davidson, My name is Dr.Eugene. So I see you have been under the weather lately,"

"Nice to meet you. Yes I just haven't been myself lately. I have no energy , I don't want to eat and I just have to force myself out of bed".

"Have you had any nausea or vomiting?"

"Some a few weeks ago, but not much anymore." I answered.

The doctor stands up and tells me hell be right back. A few minutes later, I heard a knock again and the doctor came back with a little blonde lady pulling a machine. The doctor then begins to explain that he would like to do an ultrasound on me. I agree and the lady has me lay back and she places a white cloth over me, then has me lift up the gown. She tells me she's going to place some gel on my stomach and it will be a little cold. I said okay so she could begin. Squeezing the gel onto my stomach and then started to move it around and, to my f*****g surprise, it was a little human on the screen.

The woman explains to me that it looks like I am right around 10 weeks pregnant. I am in complete shock. What am I going to do? Johan made it very clear after he caused my miscarriage that he never wanted to be a father and if I were to ever get pregnant again, I would have to get rid of it. I don't know what to say and I am pretty sure that the doctor can tell by my face that I am in full panic mode. He goes to place his hand on my shoulder and I move, grabbing my clothes and I leave the room getting dressed as I make my way from the back of the office. I pulled out my phone and called Maddie. When she answered, I was in tears and I asked her to meet me in 10 minutes and our spot and she said she'd be there. When I got in to the car, the driver looked at me and asked me if everything was alright. I tell him yes I am still just under the weather. He gives me a nod and I tell him I am meeting Maddie for lunch. Of course, he called Johan before he could take me and Johan shockingly said okay but to be at the house before 4:30.

When we arrive at Maddie, I spot she is already there waiting for me at our table. I walk up to her and she stands up, pulling me into a hug, asking what's wrong.

"Maddie, what am I going to do?"

"Hun, I cant answer that until you tell me what's wrong. Did he hit you again?

"No, Maddie, that's not it. Its worse than any blow he could ever give me."

"What the hell is going on, Liz?" Maddie asked in a frustrated voice. I looked her dead in the eyes and told her.

"I am 9 weeks pregnant'.

Maddie's mouth drops and I start to cry again. I explained to Maddie what happened last time I got pregnant, even though we didn't know I could tell by look in Johan eyes that he meant every word of him not wanting a baby or to be a father. Maddie just shook her head and she asked me the million dollar question,

"Liz, what are you going to do? You know what could happen if you tell him and if you are 9 weeks already you don't have much time to keep it hidden, Liz."

I burst out into tears again and Maddie just held me. Once I calmed myself down, Maddie ordered my favorite chicken noodle soup and green tea. We eat in silence and my thoughts are all over the place. I have no idea what I am going to do and I have to pull it together before I get home. Maddie gives me a few different options and tells me if I ever need to get away and a place to stay, I can always come to her place. I thank her but, truth be told, that would be the first place Johan would look and I don't want Maddie and her guy to be involved. I get back in to the car and the driver drives me home.

Once in the house, I went straight to the bathroom and I ran a hot bath, getting in to calm myself before Johan got home. Now he's leaving me for Bethany might not be so bad because I wouldn't mind keeping my baby and raising it on my own. Once out of the tub, I put on my robe and go sit on the couch and wait for Johan. Right at 4:30 I hear the front door open. I look up and I see Johan walk in but he is not alone, Bethany is behind him and the doorman brings in 3 suitcases. I know damn well he isn't moving her in to move me out.

"Johan, what's going on?" I asked.

"Sweetheart Bethany and I have something to tell you."

Before Johan could finish his sentence, Bethany stands beside him and you can see clear as day that she's pregnant.

"Johan, what in the hell is going on? You got your w***e pregnant! What happened to you not wanting a kid or to be a dad?" I yelled with frustration.

"I know what I said but things have changed now. I have grown up and it would be nice to have a child to carry on my name and I can leave my company too."

"Even if it is a bastard child made by your w***e?"

I can see that Johan is starting to get angry but I don't give a s**t at this point. I am beyond angry, I am f*****g livid.

"Liza, calm down, let not turn this into an ugly situation."

I can see a small pleading look in Johan's face as he says that, but I don't give a f**k about him pleading. Does he know how many times I have pleaded to him? I couldn't hold my tongue this time.

"It turned ugly the minute you got this w***e pregnant after killing our child with your evil, ruthless ways."

I spat the words at him hoping they cut deep and boy did they. Within a blink of an eye, Johan was across the room on top of me. Bethany stood there with a smirk on her face while Johan spat hateful words at me while pinning me down before back handing me and telling me to get up and be quiet. I climbed back onto the couch and wiped the blood from my lips. Bethany must not know Johan very well because she made the mistake of speaking.

"b***h next time learn to shut your mouth and respect our child" Johan turned, and I could see the fire and his eyes before he backhanded her to the ground. I could tell by her reaction that he had never struck her before.

"Lets get something understood. I am the man in this house and she is my wife. Not once have I let you speak to her out of turn and it will not start now that you are carrying this child. You are in our home to convince me, but don't confuse you roll to every think you are more important than Liza. I can find a girl like you on every corner, but Liza, my wife, is everything to me. Do you understand?"

Johan stared into Bethany's eyes as she held her face and shook her head.

"It is your choice but you can fall in line willingly or I will make you. Let's not have this talk about Liza again. Now get up so I can show you to your room."

Johan says to Bethany. For once in these last few months, it was my turn to give the evil smirk to Bethany and, holy s**t, it felt good. I watch as she grabs her bags and then they disappear into the hallway. I still can't wrap my mind around everything that transpired, but what I do know is that I refuse to tell Johan that i am pregnant and end up being more of a prisoner. I have to figure out a plan and figure one out fast because one thing that I have taken from today is that Johan is never going to let me go, not even for a w***e who gives him good s*x and is having his baby. I make my way back to my room and I climb into bed and I lay down to take a nap.

I am awakened by Johan a few hours later and he asks me what happened at the doctor. I sat up and told him I had just caught some type of flu and my body was still trying to recover. He gives me a sideways look but leaves it at that. He tells me that dinner is ready and to come out and eat. I climbed out of bed, grabbed my robe, heading out to the dining room where I saw Bethany setting the table. Johan tells me to have a seat and the food will be out in a second, but when I see him sit down too, I am a little confused. Bethany went into the kitchen and started to bring out food. I got up to try and help her but Johan demanded me to sit back down. Dinner was super awkward and we all ate in silence. Bethany has a lot of rules to get used to because one thing Johan can't stand is when someone tries to leave the table before he is done. Bethany goes to stand up and Johan slams his hand on the table and tells her to sit. Once Johan was finished, he told me to head back to bed and Bethany to get everything cleaned up before walking off and slamming his study door. I hope and pray he's sleeping in her room tonight. Bethany looks worried and I feel a bit sad for her because she was blinded just like I was. If she wasn't such a b***h, I would have warned her. I stood up from the table and looked her right in the eyes.

"Isn't it at all what you thought it was going to be, huh? Well, welcome to hell." I said as I walked away, heading to my room. I lay in bed and I figure as long as Johan is focused on Bethany, I can plan my life out without him ever knowing.
