My New Life With My Beast Husbands!

Chapter 4: What do I do?

After transferring the two of them to White Lilly, Hugo sent a resignation letter to the Lan group on behalf of Iza with her forged signature. Everything was taken care of, no one would come looking for Iza during her stay in River Run.

Loyd waits in Iza's room, nestled in a leather chair in the far corner of the room. Soft rays of fading light shine in through the window onto his frame, he sits flipping through a novel listening to the sound of machines hiss and beep. It's been nine hours since Iza was sedated and transferred to White Lilly, she was due to wake at any time. A slight stir to the sheets causes Loyd to set his book down and wait in anticipation for the next stage of the plan to begin.

Bright fluorescent light breaks through her opening eyes, causing her to flinch into the hospital bed. Waiting for her eyes to adjust she begins to sit up examining herself and the machines around her. Iza pondered on where she was, the last thing she remembered was vomiting at the presentation. A small headache began to form at the thought of her boss yelling at her for messing up the pitch to the Zennen Group. Iza pushed the top layer of sheets, looking for the nurses call remote, before she could a male voice calls to her from within the room

"No need, I can grab the nurse for you" Standing up and setting the book in his seat Loyd strides to the door and shouts into the hall for a nurse.

Iza forms a smile on her lips, she appreciates Loyd for doing so. 

"I'm sorry you had to see me like that, thank you for bringing me in. Can you tell me what happened?" Iza questions Loyd as he looms at the door.

Loyd turns to answer her, moving to her bedside and pulling the chair to its side.

"You were sick in the meeting today and passed out, I brought you to the hospital to be examined," Loyd explains.

Iza bites her thumbnail at his word. Her boss was going to chew her out for this but that wasn't the only thing on her mind. How was she going to pay for this hospital visit, her salary was just enough to keep her clothed and food on the table. Seeing her in this state Loyd tries to comfort Iza.

"The presentation today was good; you don't need to worry. I plan to accept the proposal" ...... pausing and thinking it over he continues. "Oh, and since you were sick at my office, I will be the one covering the hospital cost."

Putting a hand to her chest Iza sighs a breath of relief. Her eyes broke wide open after processing what she had just heard. Did he just say "His" building, the man in this room was Loyd Zennen the head of the Zennen group, the cold ruthless billionaire who ran the city. Looking him in the eyes she takes in his feature and realizes this man was the same man she followed to a hotel room the night she went to the club with friends. Looking at her down into her lap and squeezing her hands together, a small sheen of sweat broke out on her body, this was bad, she just wanted to forget about that night and now he was sharing the same room as her and planned to cover all the hospital expenses. Would he force her to pay it back in the end? How was she ever going to pay him back if that happened, would he make her work for him at a deducted salary, or would he make her his plaything until she could pay him back? Just as she was spiraling within her mind a nurse walked into the room with a file in hand.

"Hi, Iza. I'll be your nurse during your stay. Glad to see you up and awake, how are you feeling?"

With a shake of her head, "Much better thank you"

Amelia flips through the file and begins telling Iza what they found,

"What I heard from Loyd here is that you collapsed after vomiting at work. We ran some tests while you were out. Looks like you are about six weeks pregnant, there shouldn't be any worry of losing the child over this incident. Both you and the baby are healthy otherwise, however, we would like to keep you here for a few days and make sure you get plenty of rest."

A look of shock lands on Iza's face, she was pregnant! Putting a hand to her lower stomach, she looks at Loyd. He had to be the father; he was the last person she slept with; did he know the child was his? Is that why he wanted to pay for the hospital stay? With all that needed to be said the nurse left, leaving the two of them alone. Loyd clears his throat and begins

"I know what you are thinking, and yes, I know I am the father and plan to take full responsibility for you and the child from here on out. You don't need to work and put stress on you and our child. I'll take care of all your expenses for you. I have an estate nearby that you can stay in fully staffed while you are pregnant. You can give birth in peace, and no one needs to know."

Iza, with a blank mind, takes in everything that has just happened, her world was changing too fast. A tear slips from her eye, and in a weak voice, she replies to the offer. 

"Can I think on this?"

Loyd thins his lips and replies with the lie "Yes, of course, take your time."

Scooting his chair out from under him Loyd walks to the door, not looking back he tells Iza that he will go grab food for them, allowing her time and space to think.

With the room to herself, Iza's tears begin to fall in full force. Pulling the sheets to her mouth muffling her cry, she recalls what Loyd said, the offer was good, but did she want a child now? She was young, not to mention unmarried. Was he going to marry her? They didn't even know each other, could they eventually love each other?

Wiping her eyes dry, she puts her hand to her stomach once more. Just under her skin within her womb, there was a small child growing, it was something part of her now. With conviction she nods to herself she wanted this child. She wants to be a mother similar to the one she remembers, a kind, doting, and loving mother. This happened for a reason after all, but not being too naïve at this moment, Iza planned to get every detail of what Loyd meant by taking responsibility when he returned.
