The Love Liza Never Knew

The Master Plan

The last few weeks have been something strange. I could tell that I would be showing soon, so I had to make sure that I had my plan in place so that I could make a smooth escape. Bethany is finally seeing that Johan isn't all he cracked up to be. They have had a few more run-ins due to Bethany's mouth, but hopefully, she gets the big picture now. I get up out of bed because I am starving, I walk into the kitchen and there stands Bethany cooking some breakfast.

"Good morning", I say, and Bethany says it back. I go to the fridge and pour me some apple juice and she tells me the food will be ready soon, but could I take Johan his food. I can tell from the red mark on her face they must have had another disagreement, being that he's been sleeping in her room and she's the one still giving him s*x. Bethany makes our plates and I am getting ready to take Johan his when I walk out of the kitchen and he is in the dining room at the table, which is weird for breakfast time.

"Good morning Johan", I said while placing his plate in front of him.

"Good morning love. You look like you are feeling much better. Have you gained some weight?" Johan questions.

It made me nervous and I just laughed it off saying that it's all Bethany's good cooking, since she is the one in the kitchen everyday. I go and take my seat and I know I have to get out to buy some bigger clothes. Bethany brings out the rest of the food and we all sit down to eat. Johan breaks the silence by saying he wants both Bethany and I to go shopping today and he's only asking me to go because he doesn't trust her with his black card and that she is only to get maternity clothes and some comfortable shoes.

Answering okay, Johan told us to go and get ready. The driver will be here in thirty mins. I go and take a quick shower, throwing my hair into a bun and putting on one of my looser sundresses. I headed into the living room and Johan and Bethany were going back and forth with each other.

"Don't you think you have your hands full enough, Johan? Are you seriously sleeping with Cindy from HR and thought I wasn't going to find out about it? Is that why you brought me here and isolated me from everyone, so you could do what you wanted to do? Answer me DAMNIT!!"

Bethany yells at the top of her lungs. Johan steps up to Bethany and they are basically nose to nose.

"Not that I owe you a damn explanation, because last time I checked the person I married was standing across the room about to escort your sorry ass to get new clothes. I am not sleeping with Cindy, she couldn't get my d**k hard if it was touching the back of her throat. I don't want to have to explain this to you again because your really starting to piss me off. I am married to Liza, so until you are my wife, which will never happen, don't ask me about my f*****g life unless it has to do with my child that you are carrying. I don't have much more patience for your bullshit." Johan stated before walking over to me, handing me his black card and placing a kiss on my cheek. I gave him a smile and then I nodded for Bethany to come on and we headed out the door.

Once we were in the car, Bethany breaks out in tears and I am confused about whether I should feel sorry for her or think that's what the hell she gets for wanting my husband. I can't lie, I hated that he was so willing to accept the fact that she is having his child, but his temper and rage were what caused me to lose our baby. I hate it honestly, but I am not a cold hearted person. I rubbed Bethany's back while she cried and she looked over at me.

"You must be soaking all of this up aren't you?" .

"Why would I be soaking up my husband moving his mistress in, who's pregnant and watching her go through the s**t I have been going through for years? My best piece of advice for you and your baby is to be invisible whenever possible and make him happy and quit mouthing off if you can. Johan is not a terrible man, he just has a terrible temper and no patience at all. Want to make it through this pregnancy, shut your mouth. Johan is a very powerful man and now you are now stuck with him for life. Deal with it. I mean you are the one that was trying to steal another woman's husband."

Bethany just looks up at me and she knows it's nothing she can really say because she is in this predicament only because of herself. We finally arrived at the store and I shopped for some things while Bethany grabbed items for herself. Truth be told, Bethany is a bit further than me because she's really showing, and if I am not mistaking, she finds out what she's having next week where I still have a few more weeks till I get to that point and I plan on being long gone.

We went to a few more stores and now it was time to head back to the house. We got back into the penthouse and Bethany headed straight to the kitchen to start making lunch and I went to the bedroom to put up my new things and lay down only when I walked in. Johan is in bed with only his boxers on and I already know what this means, but if I take off my clothes completely off he might figure out the truth. "Hey love" I say nervously.

"Hey, I was wondering. Could we just lie here together for a second? I want to talk to you"

I nod my head and I climb into the bed, refusing to take my clothes off. Johan turned on his side facing me. He started off by saying sorry, which shocked the hell out of me. He apologized for losing his temper with me so much and for laying his hands on me. Most of all, he apologizes for being the reason I lost our baby and now he can see that he wishes it was me pregnant with his child and just wished we could start over. I don't say much, I just listen to all the things he has to get off his chest. If this was a few years ago, then I probably would be thrilled with what he's saying, but I know not to be a fool about his promises because it all goes out the window once he's pissed and starts to have one of his fits.

We lay there until Bethany came to knock on the door. When she opened it, I could tell by the pained look on her face that she wasn't happy with what she saw. Johan gets up and goes out there to eat lunch. I am so exhausted that I passed on lunch so I can take a nap. I slept way longer than I expected. When I woke up, it was the middle of the night and the house was super quiet. I got out of bed and I went to the bathroom and then I walked out the room, making sure not to make any noise. I go into the kitchen in the pantry and I go to my secret hiding spot, pulling out my box. Over the last few months, I have been able to put money aside every chance I have got and, so far, I have been able to save up $25,000. I also have a secret account that has some money in it so I think I have enough to get away. Maddie is working on getting me a fake I.D and S.S Card. Bethany's appointment is on Tuesday and that is the day I plan on leaving and never coming back. I am hoping and praying that everything is ready by then. I hear Bethany's door open and I hurry and put my box up and everything back in place.

In the kitchen and I acted as if I was getting some water when Johan walked in.

"Why are you up so late?"

"I was thirsty"

Johan walks over to me, standing behind me and wraps his arms around me.

"I want you to make an appointment for after Tuesday. Believe it or not, I think you might be carrying a bundle of joy in your oven too. How exciting would that be?"

Johan says with a smirk on his face. He walks around bending down in front of me. I want to move back so badly, but any sudden or suspicious movement will tip him off. Johan places his hand on my belly and looks up at me smiling, and in my heart I know he knows because my stomach is firm now.

"Yeah, I definitely think I am right. Call first thing in the morning and let me know so I won't schedule any meetings for that time."

I gave Johan a small smile and said okay. Johan said he would tell Bethany in the morning, then he gave me a kiss on the lips before leaving the kitchen. When he's finally gone, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and now it's more important than ever that I get out on Tuesday. If Johan finds out about this baby I will never get away and I am sorry this is not the environment I choose to raise my child in. I headed back to my room and climbed into bed. I have to make every day count without raising Johan's suspicions.

"f**k!"
