My eyes flew open as I sneezed hard, my body felt weak and broken, my throat was dry as well. "What's going on here? Why are you all crying?" I said as I sat up, they were all stunned staring at me. "Betta, you're awake?" Edde uttered in awe. "Yes of course, were you really crying?" I chuckled softly with my very low voice as my mom and Melanie hugged me like their lives depended on me. "We all thought you were dead, you have been lying lifelessly for twenty four hours" Ray Muttered with his eyes red. "I must have taken a long nap, Doc, didn't you tell them you gave me a sleeping shot?" I said turning to the Doctor who had mixed expressions on her face, she was definitely relieved to see me awake. "She didn't, She lied that you just slept off… Such a bitch!" Melanie cussed as I nudged her and playfully glared at her. "I was scared of going to jail ma'am, please lie down so that I can check your temperature" "There is no high temperature, my bestie is fine now just go!" Melanie
The nurses rushed out and took Elizabeth in, Edde couldn't help but panic and pray in his mind as he ran behind them, Elizabeth was rushed into the ward and when Edde tried going in they stopped him."Please sir wait at the lobby" one of the nurses pleaded as Edde tried pushing her out of the door."I don't trust you guys, I will burn down this goddamn place if anything happens to my girl!" Edde yelled as the securities respectfully took him away.Edde sat on a chair at the lobby constantly checking his wrist watch as his legs vibrated impatiently waiting for positive news about Elizabeth's condition.It's been about forty five minutes since Elizabeth was taken into her ward and he hasn't still heard anything, he was getting impatient by the second.Once he sighted a doctor coming out of her ward he rushed over to him and held his collar, almost lifting the man from the floor. "What's wrong with her, talk to me!" Edde growled as the doctor hissed."Please Calm down Sir, everything is
I walked into the sitting room with my baby in my hands as my eyes caught the blue balloons and decorations, the maids and guards were all in queue with smiles on their faces."Welcome home Ma'am!" They said in unison as Mr Reluc walked down the stairs wearing a blue suit with the brightest smile on his face while Ray walked behind him."Welcome home Junior Loxley!" He uttered and gently took my son from me. "Oh! This is Edde's son for sure! He looks so perfect and would be the only Loxley with a bright grey eye!" Reluc uttered smiling sheepishly to my baby, I rested my head on Edde's shoulder while I watched the jelly Mr Reluc."My father seems so happy having a Grandchild, he has always wanted this" Edde muttered as I sighed."He doesn't have a name yet or should we throw a party for that?" Melanie asked."This is his welcome party. It's fine if we name him here and now. You all please seat down" Reluc ordered as we all took our seats."I am his godmother, why don't I name him?" Mel
"Damn! You still love Sadie right?" I growled in rage as I stood from the bed watching the awestrucked Edde who looked at me like I'm insane. "Here you go rejecting me again making me feel desperate, what could be your excuse now?""Come on Betta, don't be like that. I have nothing to do with Sadie or any other woman, all I see is you, I love you and you know that already but can you just stop all these?" He uttered and hissed frustratedly."Oh now I'm the desperate one that begs for sex, well I'm sorry for disturbing you I can simply call someone over huh?" I said, raising my brows at him as he bit his lip in rage."Do whatever you want, I am going to California on a business trip tomorrow. I planned on not going but it seems like you need space" he smirked and walked out of the room leaving me dumbstruck.He didn't react the way I expected him to react when I told I'd bring a man in, but instead he decided to leave me for California? Is he really pissed off with me? And now he
I held two glasses of white wine as I walked out of Edde's mini bar which he has warned me countless times not to tamper with, but I guess I would always have a reason to thwart his orders. Mr Reluc has already gone back to Paris since morning and ever since, it was just me and Melanie. The nanny Miss Brooke is with Grey, the house feels empty like it's lacking something in it or maybe someone. It really is, by the way. It was night already, me and Melanie had our simple dinner some hours ago, so did Grey and everyone else. I needed some chill time with my bestie as this night would probably be our last night together, she will be going back to New York tomorrow. "Hey Mel, turn down the volume of the movie. Grey is finally sleeping" I said as I handed her a glass of wine and sat next to her. "So… You will also leave me behind tomorrow" I said letting out an uneasy chuckle as she sat, crossing her legs in the Muslim style on the couch and facing me with a smile on her face. "We w
The Mommy and baby conference turned out better than I expected, there was a lot taught about being a mom and best ways to take care of babies, I couldn't stop smiling as I saw the cute babies around me.Grey was asleep anyways…I actually thought that the conference was only for mother's but some fami's came too, Fami as in father mommies! Single dads to be specific or maybe father's with much busier wives. I nearly chuckled as the thought of Edde being in such a position flashed to my brain, Edde won't ever agree with such… I don't see that happening, like ever.It'd be fun asking him to take Grey to any other conference though. Soon the nurse talking to us rounded up the topic and some bedtime story books were handed to each of us.The chauffeur was standing right by the entrance waiting patiently for us and once the conference was over, he came in to lead me out as he helped with my hand bag. I felt quite uncomfortable with that as it was bringing unwanted eyes to me and indisti
After the call with Elizabeth the previous night Edde was restless, he didn't sleep all through the night and now in a meeting he wasn't focused. He was being unnecessarily harsh and bitter over everything.He knew that Ken was upto no good, he was sure that whatever love he was showing Elizabeth was to win her heart so that he can unleash his demonic plans."Sir! Your palms are bleeding" Nelly whispered as Edde's attention went to his palms, it was indeed bleeding.He slowly released his tightened fist to see the mark of his finger nails deep on his palm flesh, he was hurting himself without actually knowing. He sighed and checked his time and it was just twelve pm, he tried to sit tight and focus on the meeting but all to no avail, Elizabeth was actually fine with going out with Ken and that made Edde mad."And she will be hanging out with him again, no this can't be good!" Edde mumbled to himself as he jerked up from his seat and adjusted his suit jacket not minding how everyone s
"I asked my securities and the chauffeur to do whatever you asked of them and let you go wherever, and trust me I regret giving you that freedom!" Edde yelled as he stormed out of the room making me cringe at the loud slamming of the door.I sighed, feeling aggravated as I gently wiped off the tears in my eyes and walked over to Grey's Cradle bed and carried him up. "I'm sorry for whatever noise you heard, your dad was acting up unnecessarily" I said and hissed as a soft knock came on the door, I walked over to it and pulled it open. It was Miss Brooke."Good morning Miss Brooke" I greeted, faking a simple smile as she nodded and smiled back."Good morning Mrs Loxley, I came to bathe Grey" she said as I shaked my head negatively."Nope I got this today, just get his breakfast ready" I ordered as she nodded and walked away.I was scared that I really pissed Edde off on the first day of his return, the way he left the room got me thinking if he was going to come back and stay here w
