Trophy Wife 50
Edna feels a hot chill slowly engulfing her before completely taking over her. She feels an emptiness in her heart as she just processes the fact that Dimore won't be here every morning to pick her up to take her to work. He won't be in the car to crack jokes with her or compliment her new hairstyle. She is so stilled from the shock that she has to get a stronger grip around her phone because it is threatening to slip out of her grasp. "What?" She manages to say. " It has been three weeks now and I'm sorry because none of us have been bold enough to tell you. "Edna looks down at her feet. Not that her sharp red heels are interesting today, but she doesn't know where else to place them. "Who did that?" She asked. " Dimore works for me and me alone, why would anyone fire him without my consent? "She is silent for a while and it's because she knows that they both know the answer to this question of hers. " It was Mister Jackson himself, ma'am. " Kim informs her. " He came into t

Edna feels a tightening in her tummy and she sucks on and bites her tongue. Keith being back means trouble for her and she doesn't have the energy for that right now. The last time he was here he beat the living hell out of her, literally, and she has just recovered from that. Is she ready for whole new bullshit from him? Whatever he is going to do to her this time around, is she going to be able to survive it?She has this serious thought of turning back right now and going to spend the night in a hotel because it's going to be more peaceful for her. Hopefully, he should be gone by morning with all of her things again, but that's what she cares for, she wants peace that's all. She remembers Malik's words to her and how she told him that she is going to be fine, how she is going to " handle " Keith. Now she doesn't trust herself, Keith is just one lunatic that is dangerously out of control. With a little hope left in her heart, she holds her bag tighter and walks through the front

"I'm really close. " He tells her. "I'm waiting. " She bites into her lips until she tastes the faint taste of blood. Keith is no longer hitting the door but she knows that he is not gone, he has probably gone off to find something to break the door. " Be careful when you get here. " She sighs. " He might be armed. "" Well, so will i. " He says. She has hardly finished the conversation when a loud sound that is similar to an explosion leaves her ears ringing with pain. Splatters of wood fall over her and that's when she scrabbles away from the door. To find a safer place to hide in. Keith has a fucking gun and he is trying to use it to get the door open. Edna's teeth are chattering with fear, she knows that the moment he gets in here, he won't hesitate to put a bullet in her head. She scrabbles to the wardrobe and locks herself in it as she desperately tries to stop crying. "Edna, are you okay?" " He has a gun, he has a gun. " She cries. "I'm almost there. You're good. " He

Malik can't believe his ears. It seems that she has misinterpreted his silence because she starts to fold and refold her hands and begin to sigh, doubting what she has said. " You want to leave, Keith?" He asks. " You don't think it's a good idea?""What do you mean? " He moves closer to her. " Remember when I was mad at you because you were choosing not to leave him? If anything, I am proud of you that you have chosen to take this bold decision. "She nods and he notices how dry her voice sounds and how shaken she is. Poor Edna. She has gone through many terrible things and the last one was the worst of them all. What would have happened if he wasn't in town? What would have happened if he chose to travel?He doesn't want to think about what the consequences would have been. She would have been cold dead in a pool of her own blood and he knows that nothing would have happened to his brother. His father would probably bribe through it and it would be ruled as suicide. She is cryi

Edna is shaking like a fish that has been thrown out of the comfort of the waters. She walks right into the company with a copy of the divorce papers sealed in a brown envelope. She had a dream last night and it's the most terrifying yet. In her dream, it was exactly like this. She was heading to her father-in-law's office and when she handed him the divorce papers, he took them. He took it and looked over it before tearing it into pieces. The doors flung open and the men took her away even though she tried to scream her way out of their grip. They took her to this basement and had her chained like a dog. Keith came through and did several unspeakable things to her and she is still shivering from remembering it. It was a very vivid and terrible dream. She tries to keep a straight face as she walks by employees who won't stop staring at her. She hasn't been to work for some time now and she knows that rumors must have been flying around. She doesn't care about what they think th

Edna goes back to Malik's house with her head feeling like it's housing a thousand monsters that have separated themselves into two parts and are now having a war. The headache, the thoughts, it's all making her lose her mind. After she watched Keith order Kim away, she stood there with confusion on her face as she thought of what to do. Keith molested Kim and even though Kim didn't make an allegation- not that Mister Jackson would let it go anywhere, but it's just insensitive for Mister Jackson to cover up for him and make her work for him too. Edna drives back home with a tense feeling in her head. When she came, she was more disturbed by the fact that she might not be allowed to leave, but now she is dead worried for Kim, she doesn't know what that monster would do to her. Malik isn't at the office, he has some meetings to attend. She knows that he told her that he won't be around much and she should text him if she needs anything or calls if it's an EMERGENCY. She is sitting

Mary starts humming a song and she glances up at Edna. Edna is just sitting there with a sad expression on her face. " Won't you like to help me?" Mary asks. Edna is startled that she jumps up from her seat and takes the knife that Mary is handing to her. She adjusts her arms and looks down at the half-chopped spring onions, she has never been more clueless. Maybe it's just anxiety. "Um, how would you like me to chop them?" She asks. " However you want to do them. " Mary is by the cooker. She is lighting it and placing a pan over the blue flames.Edna flexes her fingers a bit and picks back the knife. She arranges the onions again and slowly starts to chop them. It takes her back home to when she cooked with her mum while her father was working in his shop. Her brother was away in his mechanic workshop and so it used to be only them. Her mother would tell her romantic stories of how she met her husband and Edna would listen with a smile on her face. She used to think that she

Edna lays on her bed with a piece of tissue crumbled in her fingers. She has been staring into the emptiness in front of her for a long time and that's been her behavior for some days now. From the very moment, Malik told her that Keith wasn't ready to let her go, that was the beginning of her horror. Why? What does he still want from her? He has told her, times without number, that he hates her and would kill her if he has the chance so what she doesn't understand is what he still wants from her.Maybe he just wants her to be his forever, but the thing is that she can't even think of spending the rest of her life as his wife. She rolls over and lays on her tummy, pain shoots up from her tummy straight to her head, and she winches. She hasn't eaten for days, and she doesn't have an appetite, but she has been careful so that Malik and Mary won't find out. How can she eat knowing that Keith is doing everything in his power to make sure that she remains with him? Is she going to be

EpilogueMalik is tired, he has hardly slept for more than two hours in the past three days. The reason is that he is putting together the last of his affairs. After all, he is moving to Italy. He has done a lot in the past days which includes making peace with his father's enemies, Tide and Devan gold. It wasn't easy making peace with them, but he did. He paid for their damages and informed them that Jacksons' company is now under new management. He also proposed business deals to them and from what he saw, he will run the company more successfully. He is also discussing a change of name for the company, he wants it to bear his mother's name because she deserves it. He can't forget his brother too. Even though his brother has been the biggest asshole, he was still his brother and for that, he has made a huge donation to a rehabilitation program, Edna did the same. As for his father, he is still mourning the "loss" of his business, but he is not going to suffer. He still has a
Trophy Wife 104
Malik has never felt more nervous in his life. He was bold when he told Edna that he wanted to talk with her parents. He was bold when she told him that they are ready to meet with him. He was bold when he drove to the restaurant one fine evening from his hotel room, but the moment he saw her intimidating father, he lost all his courage and his heart fell to the pit of his stomach like a deflated balloon. Her mother didn't see him, she is reading through the menu and talks to her husband, who has locked eyes with Malik. He still feels the impact of the man's punch from the night before. He smooths his hair back, adjusts his jacket, and walks into the restaurant. It's not full, that's because this isn't New York. "Hello. " He says to both of them but he doesn't take his seat. Edna's mother frowns and drops the menu back on the table. Her father only nods at him, that's it. He feels pain so heavy in the back of his throat, but he composes himself. He can't believe that they hav
Trophy Wife 103
Both Edna and Malik knew that this was coming after all Malik was just spitting all the unknown facts at him. Edna feels a rumbling in her stomach and she feels like it's just her baby getting scared too. Malik drops the papers in his hand and for the first time, he smiles. He smiles at his father's misery and he even laughs at it. "Well, Dad, you have always thought we were fucking, turns out we were. " He grins like he is fucking proud of himself. "What?!" "I'm responsible, Dad. " Malik breaks it down. " At least it's still your grandchild. "Mister Jackson jumps up to his feet as if his chair just caught flames and he points a finger at Edna. The flames in his eyes are so hot that she is scared she is going to get scaled. "You!!" He screams. " I have always known that you are a good-for-nothing piece of shit, I should have killed you when I had the chance. "Even with all his angry bursts, he doesn't go close to Edna and Malik just leaves him alone to go rant. " I took you
Trophy Wife 102
Edna feels like she has just melted into her chair, all numb from her head to the heels of her toes. "What?!" Her voice is so small that it doesn't sound like hers at all. Malik doesn't give her any answer, he is having a staring contest with his father. The tension is tight in the air, they won't say a word to each other. Malik looks calmer but his father looks like he is a bomb that is going to go off any time soon. Edna swallows down an imaginary lump in her throat but she still doesn't feel better, it's suffocating. " Malik. " She turns to him. " I don't understand what you are saying. "He turns to her and gives her hand a little squeeze. " Don't worry, it's all going to be cleared in a few minutes. "She nods and keeps calm, she believes him. He turns to his father and that glare returns back to its place. He leans back against his chair, but not his father. " We are listening, Dad. " He shrugs. " Why did you do it? Why did you kill your favorite son?"" Malik, boy. " Hi
Trophy Wife 101
True to Malik's word, a call comes in from the front desk that someone is waiting for her at the reception. It's a good thing that she has put on her clothes and gotten prepared for the person who would be picking her up. She locks up her room and walks to the elevator. As the elevator lowers to the ground, she wonders what Malik is up to. She gets out of the elevator and walks into the reception. There are a lot of people there, but when she sees Rollins, she knows that it's him. Maybe because he is putting on such a fine suit or because she has seen him a few times with Malik, he is one of the few people that work directly for Malik and not his father. He smiles and walks up to her and bows to her respectfully. " Good morning. " He greets. " Good morning." She answers with a very bright smile. " This way, ma'am. " He leads her out of the hotel and towards the parking lot. She sights the white SUV even before they get close to it. He walks ahead of her and opens the door for
Trophy Wife 100
Edna's face turns white as Anna's confession is not something that she saw coming. Anna too never wanted the marriage? She didn't want to get married to Malik? That's wild. Anna laughs when she sees how surprised Edna is and she walks to the edge of the bed and sits on it. She crosses her legs over each other and pulls a pillow close to her. She glances at Edna and she understands that she wants to sit beside her. She does too and now they are so close that they can feel each other's body heat. " But did you really believe that those tears were real?" Anna laughs. "Yeah, I have been so worried about you. " Edna says. " I have always wanted to call you but if I left you would still be mad at all of us. ""Nah. " She waves off. " It's kind of a huge relief for me too, so it's all good. "Edna is so confused right now. "But you were so excited about getting married. " Edna can't let this go so easily. "No, I pretended to be so happy because I wanted to make my parents happy. " S
Trophy Wife 99
It looks like a war front in here as everyone is yelling words around and pointing fingers at each other. Malik steps down from the altar and walks down the aisle. He pushes the door open and walks out, no one stops him. Ramona rushes after him after she gets over the shock, but Edna can't. She is too frozen to move. Edna is calmly holding onto herself. She feels like everyone is going to notice how fast her heart is beating against her chest and they are going to know that she had something to do with this. He said he loves her, he told someone that he loves her. She feels terrible that Anna isn't going to get married again, but Malik said he loves her. Anna lets out a scream of agony. And falls to the ground. Edna rushes to her side and holds her up. Her family rushes to her side and her brothers take her in their arms. Her mother is crying with her, wiping her daughter's tears instead of hers. Her father looks mad, the angriest that Edna has ever seen and she watches him loo
Trophy Wife 98
The knocks come again and it is just as loud and terrifying as thunder. "Malik, open the fucking door, I need to speak to you. " His father sounds angry. He beats against the door with his fist and Edna fearfully watches the door quiver as if there is an earthquake. Malik is perfectly calm and doesn't move an inch to get to the door. Mister Jackson doesn't go away and each time he knocks, it's louder than the last one. He is somehow convinced that Malik is inside his room and he is not leaving until he speaks to him. Edna is so scared that she is tempted to walk to the door and open it. She will then fall on her knees and explain to Mister Jackson that it's not what he thinks. There is a slight chance that he would listen and that means she is presently just overreacting, but there is a chance that he is going to make a big deal out of this since he already hates her. Since Malik isn't moving or saying a word, maybe it's better if she doesn't say anything too. Malik grabs her
Trophy Wife 97
Edna holds tightly to Malik's word. Her family thinks that she is crazy and now she has taken to the idea too, maybe she is really crazy – maybe a little bit. If not, what sane woman would go to attend the marriage ceremony pregnant for the groom and even though she is friends with the bride? She has never admitted it – she had kicked out the thought in her head too, it keeps coming back though – but she wishes that the wedding could be off so that she can have Malik to herself. She is happy for Anna and she would be even happier for her if she is going to be married to someone else, but it has to be Malik, right?She knows that a failed wedding ceremony is going to hurt Anna, but she still wants to give Malik a chance to come through as he said. His plan of coming through doesn't involve him going on with the wedding. She doesn't want to be the bad person in this case, but she can't just help it. Her father kills the engine and turns to her. He takes off his baseball cap and put
