Edde walked out of the bathroom after shaving and showering, it has been two weeks and he felt like he wasn't taking care of himself enough. He entered the room smelling and feeling fresh just to see Elizabeth fast asleep and snoring loudly which was the latest development ever since the 5th month of her pregnancy. He sighed as he walked over to the bed and sat next to her, he gently tucked the strands of hair which was covering her face behind her ears as he stared at her peaceful sleeping face, she had dried tears lines on her face which tells that she cried herself to sleep. Edde took a deep breath as he gently massaged her arms subconsciously and thinking of his recent life with Elizabeth, he knew for sure that he had fallen deeply in love with her but he didn't want to show it. His plans all through his First encounter with Elizabeth and his father getting involved was to have Elizabeth birth his child and leave his life for good, he wasn't ready to commit to marriage. He had

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

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

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

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
