Chapter 57

"I miss you so much Betta" Edde whined as I almost choked at the sudden speech and the seriousness in his eyes. I totally wanted to say that back to him but that would be cliché.

I shrugged indifferently as I gently placed sleeping Grey on his arms and grabbed my bag. "That doesn't sound necessary, go back to Sadie… I think I should leave now" I uttered with a half hearted smile as I tapped softly on Grey and found my way out.

Leaving them both behind was totally like living my ribs behind, I was already feeling lonely and my eyes were tearing up. Why was Edde Acting so concerned and into me like he never sent me away in the first place? I hate to say it but I so much still miss him and wanted him so badly.

All through the meeting with Grey all I could think of was me in his arms as he cuddles me to sleep and I inhale his juicy smell. Grey totally looks fine with his Dad and probably Miss Brooke if Edde or Sadie haven't called off her services.

I had thought Grey would forget me as his Mom but I was proved all wrong when he jumped into my arms, I just wanted to hold him forever. He is so young, soft and fragile.

"Queensway…" I said once I entered the Uber I booked, I sat at the back while I smiled at the memory of seeing Edde and witnessing his possessive self again. I could somehow notice the driver's eyes on me through the rear view mirror but I tried my best not to react to it as I focused on the swiftly passing buildings and people.

"Hey you just passed Queensway, please go back" I said as he rolled up the glasses giving me goosebumps, why was he rolling up his glasses?.

His facial expression was stern and focused and my claustrophobia was already reacting, I was scared and confused. I have never heard of an Uber driver kidnapping or hurting someone, Uber is a company that employs genuine drivers so what's going on?

Or did I enter the wrong car?

"Hello Sir! Please take me back you passed my way already, you don't even have to take me back just drop me off here I'm begging you" I pleaded hoping he listens but it seems like my pleas were only pissing him off.

"Can you just shut up before slit your throat!" He yelled making me cringe in fright the sight of his gun making my throat dry in seconds, I turned to the window yelping for help and hitting hard on the windows glass but to no avail, the car was obviously soundproof and the windows glasses were strange to me, instead of shattering as I hit it, it was rather bouncing back.

I sighed as I fell back on the leather chair frustrated, scared and exhausted, I was hopeless and helpless.

"Oh Edde, I have my phone" I mumbled to myself as I quickly made to get my phone out of my purse.

"Give me your cell phone" he uttered in a husky bass voice making me tremble.

"Please sir don't…"

"Give it!" He yelled with his hand stretched towards me and his eyes off the driving lane and on me, him not watching his lane only got me scared and I quickly dropped the phone in his hand as he shocked me by throwing my phone out through the window.

"That's my phone!" I yelled as he glared at me making my eyes blur with tears, this man meant business whatever he was upto wasn't a joke at all and it was getting me scared by the minutes.

He threw my phone away which means that Edde won't be able to reach me or track me down, if I'm going to die I will die without anyone knowing where my body is buried and I won't see Grey ever again.

Thinking of all these only made me cry more, I wasn't ready to die or get harmed.

"What do you want?" I asked in a cracky voice as he glared at me with rage and hatred as he cracked his gun reminding me that he had one with him.

"I don't want to hear a word from you till we get to our destination" he uttered with contempt as I quickly zipped my lips shut.

The rest of the drive to our unknown destination was quiet, all I did was rest my back on a leather wrapped chair and helplessly cry my eyes out.

Soon the car stopped at a place that looked like a motel as he parked well inside the garage, he took his phone out of his pocket as he quickly dialed in a number.

"She's here with me sir" the Man uttered sternly as I sat confusedly with tears in my eyes.

Sir? Who could that be? Why would the person want me? I don't even know anyone in this United Kingdom not to talk of having an enemy that would want to hurt me.

"Alright Sir" he said and ended the call as he turned to me staring at me with his wicked red eyes and brought out handcuffs from somewhere in his car making me flinch at the sight of it, he cracked the gun and glared at me.

"I'm sure that you still want to go home alive to see Your Son and your lover Edde, to achieve that you have to behave… I have temper issues" the man uttered as calm as he could as he pulled my hands forward to him.

He knows Edde and he knows that I have a son, could this be one of Edde's opponents?.

The young hefty man locked the cuffs as he came down from the car and walked over to my door, he pulled it open as he roughly and aggressively pushed me out making me almost fall on my butt.

"Hey calm down! At least don't hurt me if you know that you will kill me at the end!" I yelled angrily as I stood firm on the ground after staggering like five times.

He locked the car and turned back to me with his gun now pointing at me and his face full of rage, was that his regular facial expression or he has some kinda hate for me?.

"Move!" He said with his hand on the trigger as I fearfully walked into the motel with hot tears rolling down my eyes, my heart was beating so fast knowing that any little mistake can make him pull the trigger and blow off my skull.

Inside the motel was quiet and slightly gloomy, I was literally staring at the floor to avoid hitting my toes on anything harmful.

"Will you move faster or do I have to push you!" The angry Mob or whatever he was asked me as I quickened my pace. "Open the door and enter inside" he ordered as I quickly turned the knob and the door opened. As I made to enter I felt a sudden Sharp pain on my head that felt like a rock fell on it and before I could turn my head to catch sight of whatever it was I blacked out to the ground.

***

It's been two hours since Elizabeth left Edde, Edde felt like calling her and knowing if she was safely home. He doubted if it was necessary hence they were both having bad blood for each other… More like she was having bad blood for him.

Edde still felt like he was responsible for her safety, if not for anything at least for the fact that she was his Son's Mom. Edde picked up his phone as he clicked on Elizabeth's caller ID which was the last on his call log.

After many calls and the annoying voice kept reminding him the same thing "user not reachable or switched off" he quit trying and tossed his phone on his bed as Grey picked it up to play with it.

Edde was slightly worried with the sudden switched off phone and unreachable user they kept saying but he ignored his worries with the thought that she was busy and probably switched off her phone or maybe she even blocked his contact.

The thought of her blocking his contact was scary but he waved off the thought.

Meanwhile, Jae has been in the Cafe serving customers while he waits for Elizabeth. He was expecting Elizabeth to at least give him a call concerning her lateness but he got none of that.

He had tried calling her but her phone was switched off, he was the type to easily get scared when he smelt something fishy, Elizabeth's phone being switched off and her not being back or calling him since she went out five hours ago was scary. Jae was beginning to panic but he kept taking a deep breath and calming himself down with the conclusion that Elizabeth might be in a cozy moment and didn't want disturbance.

"But a call won't bite!" Jae Muttered worriedly as he took his phone again.

(Who has Elizabeth?)
