Trophy Wife 59
Mister Jackson is already in the sitting room waiting for them. He is reading through a newspaper as he waits. Edna and Malik walk in and he smiles. He shakes hands with his son and hugs Edna with a happy expression on his face. Edna is not expecting this at all. The main reason why she didn't want to come is that she thought that the hostility towards her would be overwhelming. Why is Mister Jackson being so friendly? Why is Keith behaving as if he wants her?Malik pulls out a chair for her and she sits. He does the same too and just as they settle down, Keith stumps into the room. There is something angry and mean about his walking and the way he briefly greets his father before he loudly pulls a chair to sit down. Edna ignores him, pretending to be more interested in the silverware that is before her than her tantrum-throwing husband. Malik is right beside her and she feels the warmth of his hand on her knee as he gives it a light squeeze. Her face is down but she smiles, sh

Edna is sitting down at one of the tables closest to the window and she watches as tiny droplets of water roll on the glass and tickles down till it disappears. She does that for so long that by the time she looks up at Malik again, he has drunk almost half of his coffee and she is yet to even take a sip of hers. She prefers to keep her fingers around the cup and even though it burned to some extent, the stinging feeling is gone now and it's just warmth to her fingers now. She doesn't even realize that she has this gloom on her face or how much she is just drifting off in her thoughts until Malik says something. " Is something wrong with the coffee, Edna?" He lightly touches her finger to get her attention. " It has lots of creams, just the way you like it. "Yes, she has noticed that he knows that about her. He knows the littlest details about her and that's not just something he picked up from the few days that she has been seeking asylum in his house. He knows her favorite fla

Early the next morning, Malik and Edna are at the airport to catch their flight. This time around there are no assistants anywhere and that means that they have to carry their bags themselves and have to wait in line like everyone else. It's stressful, yes, but at least they are not being recognized easily. No bodyguards and assistants mean that little or no attention would be paid to them and they are enjoying it. Edna is wearing a flower dress and a stylish hat is on her head together with some fancy glasses that sit at the bridge of her nose. Malik is dressed in jeans with a leather jacket and a baseball hat. To any person, they would look like a couple going on vacation and nothing gives off their identity as members of an elite family. When it gets to the time to check in, they both move towards the check-in desk towards the man who is dressed behind the desk. He gives them smiles as they give him the details for him to check them in. It gets tensed up when the smile slowl

Malik doesn't know why he said what he said. He knows that Edna was surprised too because of the shocked stare she gave to him. He didn't mean to make her feel uncomfortable, he just wanted to put the woman in her place and although it worked, Edna doesn't say a single word to her. The plane lifts off the ground and it has been hours since they have been flying and not a single word has he said to her. Yeah, maybe that wasn't a very smart thing he did there, he told the woman that he would fuck her and he didn't know it would scare her so much. He lays his head against the headrest and tries not to think about what he has done so much. He glances at her, contemplating if he should apologize now or wait till they get to Rome first. Edna falls asleep after they have had lunch on the plane and her head falls against his shoulder. It took him by surprise the first time because even though she did it unconsciously, he still feels it's a good sign that shows that maybe she has forgive

Edna heaves in relief when he returns her kids and presses his hands around her waist. Thank God that he is playing along. Mister Leonardo laughs with delight and claps his hands as if he has just witnessed a long-awaited happy ending. " I like this. " He beams. " I love to see young people in love because I wasn't privileged to do so. "Edna smiles and leans against Malik who chuckles nervously. "I'm going to have to find a more befitting ring. " Malik scratches his hair. "Oh, baby. "She touches his neck. " I don't care for any ring, all I want is for our love to last forever. "Mister Leonardo is beaming even more than them. He wants to say something, but a man in a black suit comes and whispers something to him. "My dear friends, I have to go now because I have dinner arrangements with some people. " He sounds sad. " But we are going to be meeting tomorrow and I am looking forward to that. Please bring the gorgeous Edna with you, I can't wait to speak some more to her.""It's

Edna has just had the sleep of her life and she feels so bad that morning has finally come. She blinks her eyes and slowly comes back to consciousness. The first thing she notices is the warmth of the bed, it's more warm than usual and it's making it even harder for her to get up. It seems there is someone else on the bed with her and that person's strong hands are around her stomach, holding her close. She manages to turn around slowly and she almost lets out a scream when she sees that it's Malik that is holding her in his arms. Her first instinct would have been to scrabble away from him, but she doesn't do that. He looks so peaceful and beautiful that she lays her head back against the bed, she doesn't want to wake him up. His finely jawed face is still as he calmly breathes in and out. His lips are calling her to themselves, she just can't stop staring at them. Then his eyelids move and then he opens his eyes. He seems to be shocked to see her looking at him because he jum

Mister Leonard's office building is situated in the middle of the busy part of Rome and it's hands down the most beautiful building around there. Malik and Edna are dressed to kill for what is a party/meeting and of course, she is putting on a diamond ring for their fake engagement. Her blue dress is as beautiful as the sky and the silk material is held up by her right hand. Malik's hand is around her waist as he walks her to the front door. They are met by some workers who lead them in, it seems that Malik is not a stranger to them. Edna causes heads to turn with her mild makeup. She had done it by herself, trying her best to keep it simple and natural. She knew it was good because when Malik walked into the room, he was too astonished to speak. She knows that she looks gorgeous because throughout the drive, Malik couldn't keep his eyes off her and she just chuckles to herself. As they walk into the building, Malik keeps him around her back in a protective manner to assure he

At the end of the party, Edna is so drunk that she is laughing with reckless abandon. Malik has to literally carry her to the car and take her back to the hotel. The driver starts to drive and tired Malik takes off his tie and runs his hand through his hair. He is bone tired because Mister Leonardo insisted that they stay and celebrate their victory till the end. The result is that Edna is so drunk that she kisses Malik multiple times, even though he tried to stop her. Now she is in the car with her head against his shoulder and he is glad that she is finally getting some sleep now. He had some things to drink too, but not as much as Edna and the thing is that he doesn't easily get drunk. Edna stirs and grabs a handful of his jacket. It's uncomfortable, but he lets her. He leans so that he gets comfortable somehow. She lets go of his jacket and starts to wiggle her hand into his shirt, through the small gaps between the buttons. Okay, now he has got to stop her because those a

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

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

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

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

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
