PREGNANT FOR THE BILLIONAIRE

The whole day turned out to be a hot mess for Elizabeth, she had informed her bestie about the sudden trip and as expected Melanie wasn’t happy about the idea.

“Edde really what’s to separate us, why is he being this inconsiderate!?” Melanie Muttered in grievance, she couldn’t imagine how boring school and everything would be for her.

“I just have to accept it, I guess I will have to enroll in an online class or something, I will ask him what he plans about my schooling because I will never leave school” Elizabeth said sucking her teeth in distaste as her eyes shifted to the outfit on the bed, He really own her.

“Etta, I will miss you so much and I don’t mind coming to see you in London once in a while” Melanie said, obviously sad as tears blurred Elizabeth’s view cursing her slight pain in her eyes.

“Mel, I am already missing you and you know that if I have a way to stop this trip I definitely will, but you see… I am Edde Loxley’s asset” Elizabeth said, shrugging her shoulders in indifference.

“Shut the fuck up! I have told you Elizabeth Albie! No one owns you! You should be the one controlling that dude… Elizabeth I don’t want to hear that Edde maltreats you, stand your ground as a grown ass woman you are!” Melanie said in a wrinkled nose as Elizabeth took a deep breath.

“Alright Mel, I will not fail you… I promise” Elizabeth was quite confident with her response, for some reasons she felt like she could stand firm and talk to Edde “I will call you once I get to London” Elizabeth said, letting out a forced smile and ended the call.

Elizabeth checked the time on her phone and it was 45 minutes remaining for her to get ready, she sluggishly took her bath with tears in her eyes, her heart was filled with grieve as thought of her leaving New York ached her so bad, she was never ready to leave the state to another place even if she ever wished to then it wasn’t supposed to be a forceful thingy.

Elizabeth wore the black bodycon jumpsuit Edde kept for her and fitted it with the silver jewelries that gave the outfit a more outstanding look, she slid her legs into the black Wedge boots and grabbed the white and black purse to the mirror.

She looked at her surprisingly bright reflection on the mirror as she shrugged her shoulders twitching her lips sideways. She had expected to look pale with reddish pink eye bags but rather she looked expensive on the outfit she wore!

“I shouldn’t be looking this exquisite, please…” She stressed rolling her eyes as she applied some hair treatments to her curly hair that made it bounce to her butt length. She gave the mirror one more glance and smiled at her reflection. She surprisingly loved the outfit she wore.

Grabbing her bag and heading out of the room, Elizabeth checked her phone to be awed by what the time said “How did I get dressed this long!” She Muttered as she stamped her feet carefully down the stairs.

“What the fuck…” Edde said turning to the stairs on hearing the clicking shoe sound, his mouth fell open in awe as he sighted Elizabeth. For a few seconds, cat caught his tongue and he couldn’t utter a word “Took you so long!?” Edde yelled trying not to seem lost as Elizabeth stared at him expressionlessly.

“I was tryna look beautiful for Edde Loxley, remember, that was what you requested” Elizabeth replied in a smirk as she walked past him to the exterior, Edde was shocked by her attitude as he followed her outside to be sure it was her.

“Hey! Elizabeth, don’t you dare walk out on me ever again!” Edde yelled, pulling her back as she stumbled falling to his chest.

“I love the smell of your cologne” Elizabeth said, holding him tighter and inhaling him, he was shocked by her sudden attitude as he turned to see the maids and the driver staring at them.

“Hey! What are you guys staring at!? Go back to your duty posts you jackass’s!… And you!” Edde said, clicking his finger at the chauffeur, “Go start the limo, we are leaving immediately!” Edde said as they all hurried out, seeing that they were all gone he gently but harshly pulled Elizabeth away.

“You’re so loony…”

“Welcome back Master Edde” Two huge men said in unison using that beautiful British accent that always made Elizabeth smile “Welcome ma’am” they said to Elizabeth who nodded smiling at the view of the house, it was a simple but yet expensive looking house!

The men pulled their luggage bags in as Elizabeth walked into the house looking dreamingly at it “This place doesn’t look bad anyways” she mumbled audibly as she fell on the ash colored bouncy couch looking up at the ceiling noticing the pretty chandelier hung up, it looked bent like it was gonna fall at anytime but she knew it was just the design.

Heaving a sigh of relief on getting to their destination after a horrible war with the paparazzi’s and spending a whole day in the plane, that was her first ride in an aeroplane and she didn’t expect it to be that tiring.

Her eyes shifted to the floor as she suddenly shouted out her lungs in fear making Edde and the guards hurry In.

“What’s wrong! The shout was scary Elizabeth!” Edde panicked as Elizabeth pointed at the tiles.

“What kinda tiles is that!?” She quivered withdrawing her legs from the Ocean waterfall designed tile as Edde sighed loudly.

“Really?… Elizabeth, do you live under the rock? That’s a fucking Hologram tile! Who doesn’t know what a Hologram tile is, you local bitch!” Edde yelled as he turned to the guards who stared at him in surprise as to the way he spoke to his wife “And what are you both still doing here?” Edde asked in a frown as the men hastily left.

“You didn’t have to be harsh Edde” Elizabeth tsk as she matched her legs on the tile to be sure she wouldn’t fall into the flowing water design, confirming it was safe she stood up slightly embarrassed “take me to my room or worst still, Our room” she said air quoting the OUR.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The rest of the day turned out really hectic for Elizabeth and Edde as they arranged their dresses and the room, Edde decided not to have much help around the house for the sake of their privacy so he decided not to get cooks and maids.

He occasionally stole glances at Elizabeth who seemed not to notice his presence as she was so focused on the clothes she arranged, he cleared his throat to get her attention but yet she didn’t turn to him.

He sighed deeply as he pulled the empty luggage bag into the closet and turned to Elizabeth who was busy perfecting the arrangements.

“So Elizabeth, I am sure you would like to know the reason we came to London” Edde said as Elizabeth sluggishly turned to him looking lazily at him.

“I do not care, keep your reasons to yourself by the way you never asked me if I wanted to come with you” She said bluntly rolling her eyes at him and turning back to the closet, Edde definitely found her response disrespectful but he decided not to react to it for some reasons only him knew.

“Well, I will still tell you, Briggite has gotten a branch here in London so I am here to launch it” Edde announced as Elizabeth ignored him about to walk out, he gripped tightly to her arms making her wince in pain.

“Get that stinking hand of yours off me you abusive fool!” She yelled forcefully yanking her arms off his grip as his sharp fingers scratched her skin causing a slight injury. “Very well, Edde Loxley! I will take a picture of this and send it to your father right away” Elizabeth threatened as she grabbed her phone from the bed.

“Don’t you dare try such nonsense, Elizabeth,” Edde said in a warning tone.

“Just watch me!” She said clicking through her phone, Edde panicked as he watched her try dialing his father’s line, he knew how much damage that would cause him and he wasn’t ready to risk it.

Clearing his throat Edde walked to Elizabeth holding her hand “Please Elizabeth don’t call Reluc, I will do whatever you ask me to do please” Edde said calmly as Elizabeth stared at him in awe, she never expected him to be that scared! She never expected him to be scared of his father!

“You will do anything? Liked, Anything anything?” She asked in a wide opened eyes as he nodded Making Elizabeth smile widely.

She felt the butterfly thingy in her belly knowing that she got Edde Loxley on her fingertips just because of a simple threat! She was happy that she was able to get Edde on his knees as her bestie always told her to, She was finally happy with her sudden progress.

“Firstly you will take me to the hospital for my first antenatal, you will sit with me so that people will know that a celebrity is my baby daddy” Elizabeth said in a cocky smile “Maybe they would respect me too” She said giving him a wink.
