Trophy Wife 79
Edna has been acting nonchalant towards her life and marriage since she has been unable to divorce Keith, but right now it's different. She feels ashamed that Anna and her family are going to find out that she is not the perfectly happy married woman they thought she was. She is afraid that they will notice dirt on the perfectness of her life and she won't seem to be so perfect to them again. It's because she makes up her mind to attend the dinner. It's barely an hour since Anna left and she just got an invitation text from Mister Jackson and she is going to attend it. Mister Jackson is going to be pleased, he is going to be so happy because she will be saving his face alongside hers. It would make a lot of sense if she goes there with Keith, but she knows that Keith might not like that. Keith is a very strange kind of person because sometimes he acts like she is irritating to him and the next he acts like he actually likes her. She doesn't know if they are at the side of the b

Edna feels as if she has been drenched with ice-cold water, from her head down to her toes. She is mortified by what she has just had and it hits her so hard that she doesn't even get the chance to hide her emotions. She has been staring at them with her eyes wide open, almost drowned in her tears. Keith snickers, he knows what's going on with her and he wants to further humiliate her. " Wait, you guys are getting married?" Edna asks as soon as she finds her voice. " Yes. " Anna answers, a bit lost that she seems to just be hearing about it now. " Are you just getting to know me, honey?" Mrs. Lucy asks. "No. " Edna lies. " I'm just so happy for my friend. "She pulls Anna so quickly that she yelps. Edna shuts her quivering eyelids and rests her face again on the side of Anna's neck. She sniffs so often that she pulls away not to soil Anna with her tears. She tried so hard not to cry but the tears just have a mind of their own and they don't stop coming. "Oh, your friend is s

Edna woke up the next day feeling sore everywhere. Her mouth hurts the most and so does between her legs. Keith did what he does best last night and she sighs sadly as she tries not to recall the events of last night. She feels something rising up her throat and without warning, she grabs the sheets and throws them to the ground, and dashes to the bathroom. She is almost tripped by the long sheets, but that doesn't stop her from getting to the toilet in time. She falls over it with her back bent and she begins to throat up. The sound of her puking is terrible, she clutches her belly and continues vomiting, hoping not to die. Finally, when she is done, she washes her mouth and slides to the ground. She is sweating, her sweat irritates her, its smell repels her and she takes her shirt off her. She gets up to her feet and she walks into her closet, she is going to grab a shirt and take a quick bath, maybe when she is done she is going to be able to go back to sleep. When she gets

Anna turns to a statue as Edna looks on. She wasn't meaning to say what she said, but it's out already. " Wh..at?" Anna breathes. "I'm sorry, I just had to tell you. " Edna gets up to her feet and walks away to the kitchen. "Hey. " Anna calls after her, but she doesn't stop. " You can't just say something like that and walk away. "Edna doesn't listen to her. She grabs a cup and starts to make herself a cup of coffee. An angry Anna enters into the kitchen with her hands folded over her breasts and a crease between her eyebrows. " Malik cheated on me?" Anna questions. " He slept with this lawyer a few months ago. " Edna says. " I just have to tell you because you are my friend and I can't bear to see you get hurt. "" It doesn't matter, I am hurt. " Anna yells and Edna is taken aback. " Don't yell at me, I am trying to help you here. " Edna shouts back at her. She watches as Anna's chest heaves up and down and she can't help but wonder just want a monster she has turned into.

Her nostrils flare and she covers her face with her hands as her shoulders shake. He doesn't realize it immediately, but she starts to cry and it breaks his heart. He had to tell her now because it would be harder to say after the marriage. He stretches out his hand to touch her and comfort her, but he stops midway. Maybe he shouldn't be comforting her, it's going to make it harder for her. " Why?!" She yells, her hands still over her face. " Work. "He simply says. " I have to work and build up my new company." She takes away her hands from her face and it shatters his heart. Her face is puffy and red, and her eyes are bloodshot. " What am I supposed to do with myself when you are gone?" She asks him, and his heart breaks further. " You are going to be fine, Edna. " He tells her even though he doesn't believe it himself, what if it's not true. She pushes her feet firmly against the floor and causes her chair to move back as she stands up. She wipes her tears as she walks aw

It's all black before Edna wakes up. She can't even remember what happened, she just finds herself in a private hospital room with a drip connected to her hand. She turns her head and sees Kim on the seat beside her and she thinks that it's a dream or something because it has been so long since she has seen her. Kim is staring out of the window and as if she gets a sign from heaven, she turns around and sees Edna laying and awake. " Oh thank God, boss. Thank God that you are awake. " Kim sighs with relief and walks over to grab Edna's hand. Edna is confused because she doesn't even know what happened that landed her in the hospital in the first place. " What happened?" Edna looks around her. " What happened to me?"" You fainted and you were rushed to the hospital. " She explains. " Miss Anna was confused and she called Mister Jackson and he asked me to come and look after you. "Edna lays her head back against the pillow and sighs tiredly. She feels the fluid slowly going thro

Trophy Wife 86
Edna can't believe that Keith hung up on her and now she can't believe it even though it has been days since then. Maybe he didn't expect the news and for that, he was shocked. She waited for more days for him to call her, but he didn't. She has gotten a lot of gifts from Mister Jackson and Anna's parents and Anna is trying to talk her into having a baby shower too. Malik calls too, every now and then, and he always makes sure that she is fine. He doesn't talk about the pregnancy though, he just asks her to take care of herself. Their calls are short and they don't even have the time to talk about any other thing other than her health and when they are done, he ends the call.
