My Husband and Our Lover

Chapter 5 New me Old me

A month has past sense the company event party where I let the old me shine. Let's just say it has only been getting better. Edwin calls and texts everyday about missing me, loving me, and etc. Like he has been sense the first night I kicked him out. I never answer the texts unless it's about our son and as for the calls which are always face time calls. I answer only when Theo is around and immediately put our son on the phone so he can talk to his daddy. He always tries to get Theo to put me on the phone or stand where he can see me in the background. Stalker much I know. He stops by every other day to pick up Theo or hang out as a family. Nope, I stopped that real quick. I make him wait outside until Theo is packed and ready to go. We haven't told Theo that we are getting a divorce yet but I did tell him daddy moved out because Mommy is not sure that she wants to be with Daddy anymore but not to worry because we both will always be there for him. He was and still is very sad and it breaks my heart. I didn't want to tell him the reason so I placed the blame on me so that he doesn't end up hating his father. One day when he is older if he wants to know the truth I'll tell him. Right now he just goes spends time with Daddy and sometimes with Daddy's friend Shane. This whole situation is a little bit of a shock to him. We now have maids, a cook, and a nanny living with us helping out to top everything else out. 

Theo is currently in school as I have just dropped him off and I'm on my way to D.I. to have an important conversation with Edwin about everything from divorce and splitting property to telling Theo and his parents whom I love like my own that we are going through with the divorce.

To say I'm not nervous and sad would be a lie. I'm so hurt but I'm pushing through it for Theo. He deserves the best and now that I've changed to the less stressed out version of me and not the version who always had to be perfect and make everyone else happy it seems that not only am I happy but so is Theo. He loves me for me. My flaws, my silliness and all that I am. He even said I look so much more beautiful when I'm happy and he likes that I have been happy lately.

Getting into the private elevator my heart sinks remembering the last time I came here unannounced. I step out and ask Mrs. Jones to have a few Department Directors come to Edwin's office. She informs me it is okay to go and walk in so that's exactly what I do. Thank God this time it's just Edwin. He looks up at me as he talks on the phone to his mother. He must have told her what happened between us because she is currently yelling at him.

"Ma, I have to go Abigail just walked in." He said as he stood up.

"Yes Ma I'll ask her to Uncle Patrick's birthday. Yes Ma I'll tell her I'm the biggest dickhead in the world and don't deserve to be on the same planet breathing the same air as her let alone anywhere near her cause I'm a moron and you want to trade me for her. Wait what? Mom!" He spoke as he rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Bye Ma, I lov...." he pulls the phone away saying "Fuck she is pissed at me she just hung up on me."

"So that was your mom?" I asked trying to keep it light.

"Yeah, she says to tell you hi." He replied rounding his desk.

"That's all she said to tell me?" I ask knowing he is to grovel on hands and knees now.

"Oh and she loves you but yep that's it." He smiles knowing I heard everything and know he is lying.

"So, this is a beautiful surprise and might I say you look amazing." He licks his lips.

"Well I wanted to talk to you about a few things. So I'll get right to it before the others come in." I said.

"What others?" He asked.

"You'll see. Anywho I'm coming back to work. Is my old office still available because I plan to not only help run D.I. but take over DeLawncray Corp as my Uncle is wanting to retire. I feel like I need this not only for myself but to show Theo that just because something my have knocked the floor from under you that doesn't mean you give up. It means you build a stronger floor this next time and stand even taller." I explained.

Edwin was about to speak when a knock on the door came and Mrs. Jones came in escorting everyone I asked for. Mrs. Grant Head of H.R., Jacky our COO, and a few other gentlemen. As they walk in and sit down I explain how I am getting back into the business world and I will also be taking over my father's company soon as well as over seeing the company here as I own half. I explained that I will be working in both buildings so I need my old office back and a P.A.

"Well I'm glad to hear that you want to get involved. I'm very proud of you for taking on such a big responsibility especially with two companies. Just one thing is wrong. We have no office room for you. Your old office was given to Jack our COO and his secretary has the front secretary space. I do on the other hand have a solution. We can redecorate my office and share it. We can get you a P.A. and she can have a desk opposite of Mrs. Jones. I'm just thinking sense we will be making decisions together and you need a private area to conduct your work for D.C. might as well share the space with me. We can get Emma to decorate it and make it cozy for the two of us." He said with an unreadable glint in his eye like he has some secret mission he is implementing.

He is just trying to get close to me. I'm  not dumb. I'll play his game. "Well I guess if I must fine. It starts today so Mrs. Grant find me a P.A. please and someone get me a temporary desk and computer along with all the technology we use here tablets etc. You may all go back to your days thank you so much for meeting with me I am looking forward to working with each of you. Thank you. I said sweetly.

I got up from the couch and walked to his desk and sat on it everyone is gone now at this point. "You and I have a few more things to go over." I started as the door opened and Mr. O'Connell came walking in. He stopped and asked if he should leave. I told him no and to take a seat next to Edwin on the couch. They both settled in waiting for what I was about to say.

"I want a divorce Edwin. You can have the house I don't need it. I'm already meeting with a realtor to find a suitable place. I also want to discuss the terms when it comes to Theo." I started but was interrupted by Edwin.

"No, we are not divorcing. Sorry love but you married me until death do us part." He said loudly slamming his fist on the arm rest.

"Well then you..." I pointed to O'Connell "might want to get a mold of is dick that way you have something to remember him by after he is dead and buried because I'm going to kill him." I said upset. They both looked at me with shock and lust. Shocked probably because I never speak in this manner.

I was so mad thinking of how much of an ass he was that I didn't realize Edwin and O'Connell were next to me while I was lost in thought. It wasn't until Edwin pushed himself to stand in between my legs that i snapped out of it. Then I realized O'Connell was right next to me sitting on the desk rubbing my arms as Edwin grabbed my chin.

"You my Love are ours forever." He whispered and then pulled me in to one of his mind blowing kisses that make my brain go mush as O'Connell was kissing and sucking on my neck. Edwin has always known the effects he has on me. It's like he can control my mind and body.

'I'm so fucked.' was all I could think to myself before my mind went fuzzy. Thank the lord above that the bell rang signaling someone was here.

It was the maintenance department with a temporary desk for me. The rest of the day was people coming in and out of the office never leaving the three of us alone which I was okay with.

Emma came over and started to think about Designs for the office that can house the two of us and have a space for Theo as I don't always want him with a nanny. She was there the rest of the day to assure no alone time after I told her what had happened this morning. I got my new assistant his name is Phillip and Edwin hates how he looks at me so that makes me like him more. Truthfully he is harmless and looks at me with nothing more then respect but Edwin has always been psycho when it come to men around me. Finally I left early with Emma walking me out to pick up Theo.
