Chapter Thirty Liza
“How are you feeling?” Dr. Mercer asked when he came into the room.
You can tell with the way he looks around he is hyper aware of the man sitting in the chair next to my bed.
I have tried to not speak with him because I cannot stand being in the same space as this man.
I am helpless right now being in this hospital bed and being broken.
There have not been many people coming up to check on me and I am assuming that has something to do with Vittorio.
I’m assuming that this man has made it very clear to Dr. Mercer that no one else is supposed to come in.
I’m sure he wants to minimize how many people have seen me.
The more time I sit here with him the more I get nervous that I’m going to be stuck going back to that house and my life is going to be a constant of hospital visits because these men think that is how they need to get women to listen to them.
I was only with them for a week and this is what happened.
I can only image what will happen if this fucking psychopath gets his way and I am stuck with him.I can only pray that someone got word to Devil’s Chaos that I was here. Not really sure who and I’m trying to keep my head up, but fucking hell.
“Excuse me, Mr. Bellandi, I need to run some tests on the patient. So I need to take her for a scan to make sure there is no brain bleeding.”
“ Grazie , take good care of my queen or I will kill you. Also just remember that if anyone has found out she is here, your family and you will pay the consequences.”
“Of course.”
Vittorio stands up and walks up to the bed and stands over me bending down and before his lips can touch my forehead I flinch away. He then grabs the back of my head and I yelp in pain. He then brings his lips down forcefully on my mouth, biting me to make me open my mouth.
“Maybe Lorenzo was right, you need to learn your place. I will be your husband. You will bow to me and whenever I want to kiss you, fuck you or dominate you, you will fucking submit to your master, puttana.” He whispers in my ear.
I hear a throat clear and Dr. Mercer looks at us, “A nurse will be coming in to grab young Walker here to bring him to the bathroom for you. I heard some of your men saying they needed to talk to you.”
My heart starts beating faster, what the hell is going on?
“I do not know how I feel about someone taking my son anywhere. He will stay with me. Plus he has not said anything about having to use the bathroom. There is one right here.”
“He just told me he needed to use the room while you were sharing a moment with your queen there. I figured you’d want him to be in another bathroom due to the fact that some of the things you are probably going to be speaking about are very sensitive and your four year old son should not be around
for it.”
Vittorio looks at me and grunts.
“Fine. Make sure they bring him right back. I do not want him out of my sight.”
The next thing I know Dr. Mercer walks to the door and Peyton walks in. She looks at me and smiles. My heart picks up and I am so thankful that she is here. I’m hoping that she can get Walker out of here and to Cane. I do not want this man around my son any longer.
“Hello, I heard there is a little man here who needs to use the potty.”
She walks over to Walker and bends down. They whisper back and forth and she straightens up and grabs his hand. She looks at me and says.
“I will take good care of him and have him back to his daddy soon.”
I nod my head and Vittorio thanks her, not understanding that she is planning on bringing him to his actual daddy and Vittorio will never see my boy again. The next thing I know Dr. Mercer is walking around adjusting my bed for travel.
“I’ll send your man in when we get out the door.”
Vittorio nods.
“Alright, miss, let's get you taken care of.”
He pushes the bed out of the room and as soon as we go past the door frame I hear him say that whoever can go in.
What I see as I am being pushed out is a sea of men in leather cuts and tears start to fall out of my eyes.
There are Skullz cuts, Devil’s Chaos cuts, Untamed Rebels Cuts and there are also men in suits.
He gets my bed out the door and around the corner and I see that some of the men move into the room and shouting begins.
As we get a little further down the hall I spot two of my boys.
A sob escapes me and Cane runs towards the bed holding Walker who is clinging to him with tears running down his face.
“You’re okay, baby. We got you.”
He leans in and presses his forehead to mine.
“Lets move you to another room over here, I’m not sure what all is going to be happening when they come out with Vittorio. Don’t want to scar the boy anymore.” Dr. Mercer says as he wheels us into the next room we come to.
Once he gets me set up with my IV and everything in the room he wheeled us in he looks at me, “I’m going to get an ultrasound tech in here and check out on your baby so we can see how far along you are and to see if it is okay after everything.
I know the bloodwork is still saying you are pregnant so that is a positive sign.”
“Thank you, Dr. Mercer.” Cane says as he sits down with Walker next to me.
He grabs my hand being careful because of the cast that I have on it, “Are you okay, Liza? Fuck. I am so glad to see you baby, but who did this to you?”
I’m still crying and I am so thankful that I am here right now. I lift my other hand and bring it to his face.
“Is this real? Like am I free of him?”
He turns his head and kisses my palm, “I’m always going to come for you baby. No matter what. But I want you to hear this, you are NEVER going to have to deal with that part of that family again. We are taking care of them.Everyone came together for their family.”
“Thank you for coming and saving me.”
“I love you, Liza, with everything that I am. I have so much to make up for and I plan to spend the rest of my life making sure you know how sorry I am for the time we lost.”
The knock comes and the ultrasound tech comes in with a smile.
“Hi, I’m here to take a little look at your baby. Dr. Mercer put in the order, but I think he is passing your case on to another doctor since you are no longer emergent.”
She walks over and begins setting up her machine, “Alright, we are going to do transvaginal ultrasound to see how far along you are.”
It doesn’t take long before we are seeing a screen with a beautiful picture of a baby.
“It looks like you are about nine weeks along. Everything looks to be developing well.”
She turns on the sound and you can hear the most beautiful sound in the world coming through the speaker and I lose it.
I didn’t know if the baby was okay, I didn’t even know about this baby before I was brought to the hospital and I am thankful that I got out of that situation before that psychopath did something to harm the baby.
“I’m going to take some images and have the doctor look at it and I’m sure someone will be in to talk to you about everything. Do you want copies of pictures?”
“Yes, we would love some.” Cane responds to the tech.
After she takes her photos and prints some out for us she heads out and I don’t think I have stopped crying since she said everything looks alright with the baby.
I know that the doctor still has to clear everything, but for the first time since everything has happened I am feeling a sense of peace.
The men that have haunted my nightmares are no longer going to be hunting me and I can finally feel a sense of peace.
About an hour later, Walker is sleeping in Cane’s arms and I have taken a nap. The silence would normally eat at me, but it is something very comfortable. There is a knock on the door and before anyone answers a head peaks in.
“Harlan.” I whisper in relief at the sight of the big brother I have not seen in five years.
“Hey, baby sister. I know you guys probably wanted some down time, but I’ve got a couple someones who really missed you out here.”
He opens the door further and a tiny little blur of sandy brown head with massive curls runs towards the bed.
“MAMA!!!”
At the sound of Waylon’s voice Walker’s head shoots up off of Cane’s shoulder and he screams for his brother.
Waylon is already crawling up the bed to get to me and Walker is scooting off of Cane to try and get to Waylon.
I chuckle at the sight and Cane finally lifts Walker up onto the bed and tells him to be careful, then helps Waylon sit on the other side.
Waylon’s little arms try to wrap around both myself and Walker.
“I mished you, mama. My heart hurt.”
Tears start to fall down my eyes as I pull my boys in closer and I look up and see Rhett walk in with Jaxon. Then following behind him is my entire family and I can no longer control the sob that comes out of my mouth.
“We really wanted to come see this place our baby sister calls home and to meet these adorable little boys in person.” Rhett says as he brings my baby boy over to me.
Jaxon is making grabby hands at me as I reach to take him from Rhett.
“Careful, baby. I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”
“Shhh, I’m fine. I just want to hold my babies and see my family.”
My siblings move over and standing behind them is my mama with tears in her eyes.
“Oh my baby, I have missed you so much. You’re a mama.”
She rushes towards me and gives me a hug. My body shakes with sobs and I feel at peace for the first time in a long time.
