Chapter 45

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?" Melanie said, pouting her lips and giving the puppy eyes that I always fall for.

"Nope, I'm naming my Son, Grey" Edde uttered as a smile spread across my lips.

"That's a name for play boys and rich spoilt kids, come on Edde! You don't want your son acting like you… Right Etta?" She asked nonchalantly as I frowned at her.

"Quit messing around Mel, Grey is a beautiful name and suits my son. Grey Loxley" I said and tapped at Edde's lap to calm his nerves from hitting or doing something hurtful to my bestie.

"What a match! Grey Loxley" my mom clapped dramatically.

"That makes it sound more like it though" Melanie snapped as I shot her a fake glare and pointed at her.

"Don't make me ban you from being Grey's godmother".

"You won't dare miss!" Melanie said and stuck out her tongue.

"Get the stuffs served!" Reluc said loudly as the maids walked in with a blue iced cake and two bottles of wine and some glass wine cups. I was stunned to see that all these were arranged by Mr Reluc. I was speechless and so was Edde.

The large blue cake was kept on the table as my eyes couldn't help but keep staring, it looked beautiful and yummy but sadly it wasn't advisable for me to eat baked things hence I'm still sore from pregnancy.

"I will just go upstairs with Grey instead of having you all tempt me" I snapped as I took my son from Reluc.

Getting to the room I placed my baby on the bed and pulled out my clothes. I felt messy still having that same outfit on for a long time.

I was about to go into the bathroom when my phone vibrated loudly grabbing my attention, I picked the phone and it was an unknown private number. I hesitantly swiped to the answer icon and placed the phone on my left ear.

"Hello Elizabeth" The husky voice echoed in my ear making me cringe as I gulped hard.

"Wh…who is this please?" I stuttered as he snickered cockily.

"Congratulations on your successful delivery, can't wait to take you away from him" the voice said and ended the call.

"He..hello? Are you there?…. Oh shit!" I screeched and angrily tossed my phone to the side.

The person knew my name and sounded like he knew me, I was so scared of what might happen next. That person sounded so dangerous and shouldn't be toyed with.

Why did he bring Edde into the topic? Does he know Edde? Should I talk to Edde about this or is this something I can handle on my own?

"Hey Betta," I heard as I quivered and turned behind me to see Edde who gazed at me suspiciously.

"Edde…" I hissed and sat on the bed.

"What's wrong? Why did you flinch like that?" He asked gazing at me like he could see through me and dictate when I lie.

"I'm fine, I didn't notice your entrance that was why, I will go take my bath" I uttered breathlessly as he narrowed his gaze at me. "Hey! Stop looking at me in such a way, go do what you came for" I sighed and walked into the bathroom.

Edde hissed as he watched the retreating back of Elizabeth, he heard his baby coo lightly as he walked over to his bed and leaned down to the baby. "Hello Junior Loxley" he said poking his nose smiling heartily. His phone rang interrupting his cozy moment as he checked the callers ID.

"Sadie?" He growled and swiped to the answer icon "what?"

"Hello Mr Loxley, you seem to have lost your manners huh?" Sadie's voice echoed as she chuckled.

"What do you want?"

"I definitely do not want anything, just want to tell you that you got the worst lawyer ever. He actually leaked your little secret for money!" Sadie said, cockling loudly as Edde's teeth's gnitched tightly.

"You lured him of course, don't pretend to not play a big part in the whole thing. You always wanted to ruin me and you did already" Edde said harshly as Sadie scoffed.

"I have no business with you, I already Know that I can't get you so your chapter is closed for now. I am after your baby mama, I will ruin her till she hates being around you and goes back to her common life!".

"Don't you dare Sadie! You don't know who Elizabeth is so leave her be! She will leave soon so let her be!" Edde roared in rage with his fist tightened like he could punch the hell out of Sadie's face from his phone.

"Oh watch me! I'm just getting started. Watch your little secret go viral" she said and hung up leaving Edde in a dreadful state. "Arrgh!" He growled and hit hard on the wall causing his fist to tear. "She should just continue hiding, it won't be good if I find her" Edde uttered boorishly as he sat on the couch and poured some drink for himself.

"Are you okay? Your fist is bleeding!" Elizabeth uttered rushing out of the bathroom as she bent down and took his hand.

"Betta, I'm fine, go dress up and sleep" Edde said as he tried withdrawing his hand from her which she held tighter.

"Don't do that" she glared scornfully at him as he chilled and let her do what she wanted to do. "Don't call me cheap but I gotta use an effective local cream on this" she said and went over to her bag.

She quickly brought out a little transparent bottle filled with creamy content. "Don't make any comments" she said and opened it.

"hmm! It smells green!" Edde uttered covering his nose. "How the fuck do you use such on yourself!?"

"I said, do not make any comments bro!"

"Don't ever call me that! I am babe to you" Edde said, punching her softly on her shoulders as she sneered.

"Man, you wish!"

"My personal assistant sends her regards to you".

"The Crude one? I hate her" Elizabeth said as she pulled into her PJs.

"Fuck! You don't even know her too well! Nelly is very nice and caring. She literally asks of you and the baby everyday" Edde said as Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"First impressions matters a lot to me, Edde I gotta rest I still feel weird in-between my legs"

"Maybe I should join you, I will go bath first" Edde said as Elizabeth nodded and turned to the other side of the bed.

"I thought you'd be sleeping by now, what are you thinking of?" Edde's voice said as he lay next to Elizabeth with her back facing him as he inhaled the scent of her hair.

"He isn't sleeping" she replied referring to little Grey as Edde smirked.

"I see that you're getting used to being a mother already huh?" Edde uttered as he ran his fingers through Elizabeth's slightly big belly which hasn't still reduced due to recent child birth, she gasped at the ticklish feeling as she shut her eyes receiving the feeling and he pecked her shoulders.

He tucked her curly hair in-between her ear as his hand slowly unbuttoned her PJs making a moan escape her lip out of his touch, she turned now facing him as she kissed his lips hungrily with her hand wrapped around his bare body.

"Betta" Edde Muttered breathlessly to her mouth as they kissed and Elizabeth rolled over to the top of him.

"Shh" she said and continued kissed him, Edde was running out of breath with her uncontrollable kisses as he pulled her away.

"Betta we can do this next time, you said you still feel sore underneath so I don't think s*x will be a good idea let's just sleep" Edde uttered as Elizabeth bit her lips angrily and rolled out of his body.

"Damn! You still love Sadie right?"
