Chapter 54

It's been two months since I left Edde and relocated to a new home, I was fully settled in my house and also started a new life in the U.K. I opened a cafe with some of the money Edde paid me and business has been going well ever since.

My mom and Melanie didn't really support me staying in the United Kingdom but I couldn't just go far from my son Grey, there might be an emergency that he would need me… I don't just know.

I stood in front of my mirror as I dressed up and styled my hair in a tight bun, for some reasons I missed Edde Making my choices.

I wore my white T-shirt and Jean trousers as I grabbed my bag and dashed out of the house as I quickly stopped a Taxi and zoomed off to work.

I don't have a sales person because I don't have enough money for salaries so I always have to get up early for work hence my sales are much in the morning.

I got to my cafe and quickly pulled into my apron as I started with the cleaning and dusting, it was always hectic and too much for me… I definitely needed a sales person.

Soon I was done cleaning and dusting and also done making the different types of coffees as I sat behind my counter taking some air before customers started coming in.

"Ain't you Mrs Loxley?" A lady asked as I signed, I get that question almost everyday and it's really exhausting. Being with Edde rubbed off my normal life.

"No ma'am I'm not, who is she?" I asked pretentiously as she furrowed her brows looking closely at me.

"Hmm, people really do look alike. Please ignore me and get me a cup of dark coffee with no sugar" she requested as I nodded and started with her order. I got some calls from customers requesting for delivery to their offices as I quickly packaged the orders and set it in my delivery man's bike carriage as he took it off.

Sales were exhausting but consistent, I already made one thousand dollars this morning and was still getting more orders.

Finally it was night time and I was getting ready to lock up and go home. I was behind my counter eating some pepperoni pizzas hungrily when the door opened and a man in jean trousers and Ash polo which he covered with a leather jacket walked in. He had a face cap on which didn't really give me a chance to view his face clearly hence I was behind the counter which was far from the door.

"We are closed please, I only forgot to show the Closed sign" I said in a muffled voice as my mouth was filled with Pizza.

"At least I can get a hot cup of cappuccino huh?" He said as he walked to the counter and sat on one of the chairs lined up. "Ain't you Edde Loxley's contract wife" he uttered staring closely as I signed in embarrassment, why would he point that out in such a manner.

"No I'm not" I said plainly and continued with my pizza.

"Well, you can't lie to me, I already know it's you. You look so beautiful in real life unlike many celebrity Baby Mama's, what's your name again?" He asked as I rolled my eyes, he obviously wasn't the type to believe in lookalikes and I wasn't ready to argue with him.

"You really think I'm Edde's Baby Mama? What makes you so sure?" I asked folding my arms together as he smiled.

"I know so, your curly long hair proves it. '' he said as I facepalmed myself, I totally forgot about my hair.

"Fine you caught me, you're so smart… Yayy" I mocked as he simply laughed, he had such a gorgeous smile! "My name is Elizabeth by the way" I said as he nodded.

"My name is Jae, can I get my cappuccino now?" He uttered as I nodded and quickly broiled the last cappuccino and served it to him.

"It's for free actually, so just start leaving so that I can lock up" I said politely as his eyes widened in shock.

"Oh wow, thank you! I would love to drive you home in return for your very kind gesture" he offered as I nodded to the opportunity to save my fifteen dollars.

***

It's been a hell of a month for Edde without Elizabeth, he couldn't sleep without thinking of her. Grey would always cry that he wanted to see his Mom and Elizabeth hasn't visited since she left.

She forgot some of her clothes in the closet and Edde would always inhale it as a form of feeling her presence.

He wasn't focused on anything, when he went to work he had Elizabeth in his mind, when he speaks to another woman for too long he feels like he was betraying her. He hardly even eats, he was totally wasted because of her.

Wyatt visited the United Kingdom after Nelly Edde's P.A told him about Edde's current behavior, Wyatt didn't hesitate to come see him.

Wyatt was shocked to see how unkept and frustrated Edde looked, his beards were overgrown the same as his hair. He knew that all Edde needed was to clear his mind from Elizabeth so he decided to take him to a bar.

"You have been staring at Elizabeth's caller ID for five minutes now, why don't you just tap on it!?" Wyatt snapped as Edde hissed frustratedly and kept his phone on the table as he sipped his beer.

"I don't want her to know that I haven't gotten over her, the essence of cutting our relationship off despite my feelings is for me to forget about her" Edde Muttered boredly as Wyatt scoffed.

"And see where that got you, you still haven't gotten over her. You look homeless and if care isn't taken the public might notice you and start a rumour, you really should reconsider this Edde. Bring Elizabeth back!" Wyatt uttered as Edde ignored him sipping his wine in thoughts of what Elizabeth might be doing and where she was.

"And Edde, you're drinking too much you should stop before you get drunk please. I can't carry you" Wyatt said as he tried taking Edde's beer but his hand was violently yanked off immediately.

"Why then did you bring me here if not to drink?" Edde snapped, already sounding dopey and drowsy as Wyatt raised his hands up in surrender.

"It's fine, drink all you want but just remember that you have an innocent little Grey and you wouldn't want to get home and start yelling at him, you're clearly dopey and drowsy Edde. Why don't you just listen to me?" Wyatt said as Edde gulped a full bottle of beer at a go and rested his head on the table.

Wyatt knew that if Edde slept off on the table it'd be hard to wake him up, so it was clearly time to take him back home.

"Come on Edde, let's go home Grey might be waiting for you" Wyatt said as he gently helped Edde up.

"And Betta too, she'd definitely yell down the building if I get back home late" Edde babbled and chuckled as Wyatt couldn't help but laugh at his state of mind.

"Yes, Betta is waiting too so let's get going already".

Wyatt drove Edde home as the security guards helped him inside the house and Wyatt left.

"Hey! Leave me alone, I can walk on my own!" Edde yelled angrily, pushing the guard aside as he staggered upstairs.

"Master, Sadie is here she said that you know about her coming" the guard said as Edde waved his hand, he didn't really hear what he said all he heard was Elizabeth.

Edde staggered into his room as he saw Sadie whose face looked like that of Elizabeth to him, he smiled at her as he started pulling off his clothes.

"Edde are you okay? Why are you acting like you're happy to see me? I came to see you anyways" Sadie said as she sat on the bed.

"Of course I'm happy to see you. My loving Betta, where is Grey?" Edde asked as he walked to the bed.

"Uhm, Grey is with his Nanny and I'm not Elizabeth, I can let you sleep with me but don't call me Elizabeth" Sadie said with a frown. "You're drunk Edde".

"I missed you so much my love, don't worry I'm not drunk at all" Edde said as he unbuckled his belt and tossed it to a corner.

Sadie smiled to herself as she was finally going to feel Edde again although she was upset that he was still missing Elizabeth and was mistaking her for Elizabeth.

"Take your clothes off Betta so that I can feel your skin" Edde ordered as Sadie quickly pulled her shirt off, Edde leaned forward and started kissing her as he pushed her to the bed and lay in-between her already spread legs.

"I missed you so much Edde" Sadie moaned into Edde's mouth.
