Chapter 53
Weeks past turning into months and soon it was already my last day with Edde and my son Grey, Grey Grew so fast. Started crawling at his fourth month and walking at the seventh month, now Grey was a year old and was already disturbing and parading around the house with his little diapers on.
It was so hard for me to leave him behind because he was way too obsessed with me, he never leaves my arms for long. even when I yell at him he still cries back to my arms.
I was way too fond of Grey to just leave him with Edde, Although Edde does the Dad Job so well and Grey loves hanging around his dad and his uncle Ray.
Grey was definitely going to be fine without me, he also had his Nanny Miss Brooke who takes care of him like he was her grandson.
Since my mom left for Vegas she only came twice to see Grey, Grey doesn't know Melanie as Melanie was way too busy with the company and only video calls from time to time.
I was stuffing my clothes into my luggage bags as my eyes were blurred with tears. Edde and I already agreed that I would come around to see Grey once a month and Edde already paid me my remaining fifteen thousand dollars.
I already rented an apartment here in the U.K without Edde's notice so I was set to leave even if I didn't want to.
I zipped up my bags and pulled it out of the room down to the sitting room just to meet Edde holding Grey and Sadie standing beside him with a cocky smile on her lips, I was confused on why she was present on the day I was leaving. I turned to Ray who was rather looking angry.
"What's going on here please?" I stuttered curiously, dropping my bags down with my gaze fixed on Edde.
"Uhm, Sadie is back in to stay with I and Grey" Edde uttered with a stern expression as he held Sadie's hand, I didn't want to read his statement wrongly and over react.
"What do you mean Edde?" I asked, smiling uneasily as Edde signed, Sadie had a cacky mean smile on her lips which I really didn't want to take notice of.
"Sadie and I never really broke up, I was only using you to make Sadie jealous for cheating on me. Your pregnancy only made it more believable, so now that our contract is sealed and over I got Sadie back" Edde said as I chuckled uneasily standing firmly on the floor in order not to stumble down. I couldn't believe my ears, it felt like a dream.
"This is all a prank right?, If it is just stop it cause you're getting on my head" I said in a cracky voice as my eyes blurred with tears.
"I'm so sorry if you're feeling used right now, I'm really sorry for leading you on and making you feel like I loved you. I never did, it's Sadie that I love… I'm sorry" Edde said calmly as I shaked my head in disbelief, it wasn't still feeling real.
"So you never felt even a tiny thing for me all these while, the kisses didn't mean anything to you?" I said in a teary voice as Grey walked to me holding my legs like he knew that I was leaving… I'm already missing him.
"Security please lead her out" Sadie snapped as I smiled.
"You don't have to, I will find my way out" I uttered as I wiped off my tears glaring at Edde scornfully and then at Ray who was fuming with anger, he obviously wasn't fine with this.
He hates Sadie.
"Grey, come on, go to Uncle Ray. Mommy will see you soon" I said and pecked his cheek and forehead.
"Give me a call when you get back to New York" Ray said as I smiled and nodded. The securities helped with my luggages as I waved at Grey, he was too small to understand what was going on.
I entered the Uber I booked and started my journey to my new home here in U.K, I would have loved to go back to New York but I just couldn't go far from my son.
All I have left in my life is Grey, Melanie and Mrs Courtney Albie but most especially my Son. I guess I'm done with Edde Loxley forever and I would never forgive him for using me for his dirty little game like I'm a worthless girl from New York he bought.

"Edde why would you decide to play such a game with the innocent ladies heart, there are many more reasonable ways to let her go other than making her feel like a nipplehead… And with her!?" Ray yelled, pointing at Sadie with Range and hatred.
"Ray just stop already, I did what I felt was right. If I hadn't done that I wouldn't have been able to let Betta out, can we not just talk about this?" Edde hissed frustratedly as he sat on the couch with Grey on his lap.
"Of course, speaking to you and seeing this whores face only makes me angrier!" Ray yelled and matched his foot up the stairs.
"You know?, Maybe it won't be that bad if we just make up and start all over" Sadie uttered softly as she sat seductively next to Edde.
"Just stop it!, At least not in front of my one year old son. This was only an agreement and you have done your part perfectly, whatever I did wasn't from my heart so don't be deceived cause I still so much love Elizabeth" Edde uttered harshly as Sadie rolled her eyes heaven ward. "You can leave now Sadie, I will call you when you're needed" Edde added as Sadie grabbed her bag and left.
Edde signed as he stared at his Son, he never really meant sending his mother away from him… Away from them, he never really wanted to get involved with anyone or get married, at least not yet.
He knew that he was developing feelings for Elizabeth and that only got him scared, that wasn't the plan. All he wanted was the baby but eventually things turned out differently.
He had to bring Sadie to the picture in order for Elizabeth to hate him, now that the deed was done he regretted it. He might never see Elizabeth again.
He never wanted his life for his Son, a life without a mom or a good relationship with his father. Edde literally grew up with random nannies and that wasn't a fun way to live.
He knew what he passed through without his mother and he didn't want that for Grey.

I had arranged my stuffs and settled in fully in my new home, I was alone and sad and used and without my son. I crossed my legs in Indian style on my couch as I placed a call on Melanie. I really needed to talk to somebody cause I was losing my mind and might do something I will end up regretting… That's if I would be alive to regret it.
"How are you Etta? You moved out already right?" Melanie uttered once she picked the call as I signed. "Are you good Etta?" That question only triggered the tears gathered in my heart.
"I'm not, I'm really not Mel" I said breaking down in tears.
"Oh my God babe what's going on! Talk to me, did anything happen to Grey or you or…"
"No, Grey is totally fine. I'm just not, Edde never loved me! He fooled me, he used me to get back at Sadie and now they are back together!" I said in tears as I held my vibrating hand tightly on my phone.
"Oh my goodness! Who does that to a lady! That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Etta you really shouldn't be crying about this please, Edde is a douchebag that doesn't deserve you. Instead of crying, why not stay strong for Grey?" Melanie cheered up as I signed.
"it's really not that easy to get over being used by someone you fell deeply in love with, Mel I was deceived! They used my vulnerability against me. Edde knew how much I loved him and that was why he decided to take the chance. I really thought he loved me for real Melanie" I uttered in a cracky voice as I rested my back on the couch.
"I really wish I could hug you right now, Edde lost a medal and someone better than him will come around. Just stop crying, you're making me feeling uncomfortable and worried at work"
"Alright, I'm fine. I'm wiping my tears off" I said as I dabbed my tears off gently.
"Good, I will call you before you sleep" She said as I hummed and ended the call now facing reality.
I was only feeling worse…
