The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 153 - Heartbreak

Chapter 153 - Heartbreak

MJ's heart was aching after hearing it from Connor while he's punching Harvey. She covered her mouth as tears rolled down her cheek.

Harvey was forcing Johanna to abort a baby?

She watched as Harvey fought back and punched Connor and pushed him off. The two grappled on the floor and she finally screamed.

"Stop! Stop!"

Connor stopped and stood with murderous eyes toward Harvey. MJ approached Connor and grabbed his arm.

"What are you talking about?"

Connor wiped the blood from his lips and glared at Harvey.

"Johanna is pregnant. And I know that the person who wants to get rid of our baby is you." Connor scoffed. "How dare you threaten her using Keira and Karmina?"

Harvey glared at him and he didn't want to see the pain from MJ's eyes.

"MJ got her baby killed… your baby. You tortured them and killed them because you were angry. What do you think I would feel? You knew the feeling of losing an unborn child and yet, you are using Keira against Hannah." His voice was roughed and it hit him hard.

"Your baby will get killed anyway. If they continue trying to kill Keira."

"I can finish them." Connor gritted his teeth. "You treated Johanna like a substitute and a thing. Probably like what her parents do to her."

MJ watched as Connor left, angry. Then, MJ looked at Harvey in pain. Her chest felt so tight at the moment as she covered her mouth.

"You did that?" Betrayal was in her eyes and Harvey took a step forward.

"Babe," He extended his hand trying to reach her but she hugged herself and shook her head.

"Did you do that to your sister?"

Harvey sighed and nodded.

"I'm sorry."

"How could you! You have gone this far! What if Johanna left him entirely and have an abortion somewhere? There could be a possibility that she might not be able to have a baby in her life. And don't say sorry to me!"

She dashed upstairs and Harvey slumped back on the floor as he felt more frustrated than before. It's his fault again. Yeah, it's his fault from the very start. He turned to the man who appeared from the kitchen suddenly. He rolled his eyes.

"Old man."

"Don't go extreme." His voice was rough. "Johanna doesn't deserve to be treated that way."

"She's not my sister."

"I know. But at least think of the life inside her. And make it up to your fiancee." He said as he lifted the duffel bag. "I already have the money and I'll contact you if I am still alive."

Harvey sighed and sat up. He decided to follow his fiancee upstairs. He found her in the bedroom crying in anger. He approached her, knelt in front of her, and sighed.

"I'm sorry. I won't force her to do things like that." He said and looked up at his fiancee who was glaring at her.

"You better be." She wiped her tears and sniffled. Tears kept falling because her heart was breaking. She lost a baby and it's hard to move on in a snap.

Harvey hugged her waist and shoved his face to her stomach.

"I'm sorry…" He mumbled and kept mumbling with his face shoved to her stomach. He's also crying but he didn't want to show it to her. It's hard for him to decide for everyone's safety. It's hard for him to do that and he's not a robot. He's a human too with emotions.

Keira didn't like it when Johanna didn't touch any food. Her eyes were still red from crying and Karmina never thought that she would learn that Harvey would do that. Although Johanna didn't say a word to Karmina, she just found out that it could be Harvey.

"Why don't you want to eat?" Keira creased her brows as Johanna kept looking at the door. It's been an hour since Connor left.

She saw how worried and scared she was and it made her feel sad. This isn't the first time that Johanna was extremely anxious. A man entered and smiled at Johanna. He had bruises on his face as she quickly stood. Connor scooped her face and kissed her forehead.

"Why aren't you eating?" He asked, keeping himself cheerful toward Johanna. It made Keira and Karmina worried that he came with bruises. It only meant that Connor fought Harvey.

Karmina signed the maids to prepare the rest and took the first aid kit.

Johanna caressed his bruises and he winced.

"Baby, I'm fine."

Keira shook her head, feeling dizzy with the things going on.

"You aren't fine," Keira exclaimed. "Why did you just leave Johanna to us? You make her worried. So worried, Connor!" Keira burst out and Connor nodded.

"I'm sorry. I was just angry."

"Yeah, you and H aren't in the right temper. You should at least ready a baseball bat and hit each other at the same time so it quits."

Alessandro rubbed her shoulders to calm her.

"Baby, calm down. We still have to go to the office."

She nodded and sat down to eat. Everyone took their seats and Karmina helped with Connor's bruises while Johanna was pressing an ice compress to his cheek.

"I'm sorry." He said again while rubbing Johanna's sides.

"Stop saying that." She mumbled and he carefully touched her flat tummy.

"By the way. The two of you can take two days' leave… have some check-up and relaxation." Keira said. "Or you can extend the emergency leave anytime."

Karmina packed up the first aid kit.

"It's hard for the first trimester, Jo. You should be careful." Karmina walked around to kiss her daughter's head.

"Yes, mom."

"The two of you can stay here…"

"We'll go home," Johanna said. "I'm sorry for bothering you."

"Darling, you aren't a bother." She patted her head. "You can always come and ask us for things. I am your mom and I will help you with your pregnancy."

"Thank you," Johanna mumbled.

The time that they reached home after the check-up. Connor quickly picked up the things on the floor and even her bag. He brought it back to her room and organized it. Johanna looked tired and so, she undressed and took the dress that Connor gave to her as she climbed on the bed to sleep. The door in the walk-in closet is still open while he's busy organizing a few things. Then, she watched him from the door while hugging one of the teddy bears that he bought for her.

"What do you like for lunch?" he asked as he tidied the empty bag and put it on the luggage cabinet. He stripped off his clothes and approached her. He kissed her lips passionately when she didn't respond and he climbed up on the bed beside her.

"I want something new." She said. "I don't know. I can't decide."

Connor caressed her tummy. The doctor said that she's very much healthy and hearing their baby's heartbeat made both of them emotional. She was too emotional while they were listening to it. Also, she told him that she wanted to keep their baby badly and love her with all of her heart. He knew that it's because of childhood trauma.

"Babe," he kissed her left ear and scooped her breasts. "This gets a little bigger."

"Yeah," She nodded at him. He skimmed her tummy and kissed her shoulders.

"Let's stay like this for three days." He suggested.

"No. Keira needs me."

"Hmm, I know that she does. But you'll feel lethargic."

"I'm sleepy." She mumbled. "I want some burgers later. Fresh beef, please."

"Got it!" He grinned and sang her favorite lullaby.

"Stay until I fall asleep. Okay?" She yawned and hugged the teddy bear tightly.

"I will." He kept caressing her tummy and she suddenly sat up and reached his half-hard lower part. It started becoming hard as steel and he stared at her.

"Take me in a spooning position. It'll be safer for the baby."

"Babe, no." He shook his head. "I can't do that to you. You are pregnant."

"I'm not fragile." She bit her lips. "This one kept poking me and it made me feel hot between my legs."

He chuckled and sat up. He lifted her dress and lay her down.

"Your nipples are hard." He took the left one to her mouth and then the other.

The couple makes love and Johanna fell asleep while hugging the teddy bear. He pulled the sheet over her shoulder to make sure that she isn't cold and he finally went downstairs to prepare the beef patties for her burger. He could be a househusband for her. Although he knew that she's an independent woman. He put the burger patty back in the fridge and went upstairs to check on her.

To his surprise, she's awake with tears. A bad dream again? His heart breaks instantly as he approached her, sat beside her, and wiped her tears.

"Baby," He mumbled. She sighed and held her tummy.

"I thought I lost our baby…" She pouted like a little girl and cried loudly. He rubbed her back and kissed her forehead.

"You won't lose our baby or me." He whispered.

He hates those fucking trauma that would make her devastated like this. He hates it.
