Trophy Wife 84
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

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. It makes sense now even though she has been really sad at the beginning, but now she gets it. She is pregnant and he is getting married very soon, there is no hope for them or anything they had. Today, Anna has dragged her out to a restaurant and they are going to go wine sampling for the wedding. Edna won'

Edna feels a powerful rush of adrenaline in her system as a result of the shock she gets from Keith's confession. It leaves her brain foggy and her thoughts scattered. Her hands are shaking as she stares at him with her jaw on the ground. What happens next is that Keith's eyes painfully start to get filled with tears and he lets go of her and backs away as he turns away from her. She can hear the sobs from him and she knows that he is going through a lot of loans right now. She didn't know that he would be this broken, she has never heard this from him before. He walks to the bed and sits on it with his shoulders slumped as he continues to cry, Edna keeps her distance as she helplessly watches him cry. " Growing up, I thought I was lucky because I never used condoms with girls but there was never any " accident " And I thought I was just lucky. " He whimpers. " When I was twenty, I had just gone to the hospital for a check-up and it was discovered that I can't even impregnate a

" Mister Keith Jackson ingested five different hard drugs and in large amounts and that was what triggered a convulsion that ended up stopping his heart. "That's the official statement from the autopsy that was carried out on Keith's body. Mister Jackson arrives at the scene barely minutes after Keith has been pronounced dead and for the first time, Edna sees Mister Jackson crash to his knees and openly weep. Her eyes are bloodshot, but not even a single tear drops from her eyes as she watches all that is happening around her. She is pronounced to be in shock and has to be taken for more examination. She requests privacy in her hospital room during her stay. She can't believe that she has become a widow now, Keith is dead. She keeps staring at the wall, the events of that night are the most dreadful that she has experienced in her life. She is still staring at the wall when the doctor walks in with a tray of some medicines and injections to be given to her. The television is on

The smile on Mister Jackson's face is terrifying. The smile is forced and that's what is scary about it the most. Malik stubbornly doesn't let go of her. He knows that his dad saw them lock lips and he knows that there is really no use to hide it. His father strolls over to them and with that smile still in place, he stretches his hands out for Edna to hug him. She reluctantly lets go of Malik and hugs him briefly. " Keith is dead. " She repeats. " Keith is dead. "" I know, my child. " He sighs. " It's the most unfortunate incident of my life. "He gently touches her shoulder and nods at her. Malik pulls her back away from him as if he wants to protect her from his father. " Maybe. " Malik breathes out with anger. " Just maybe if you didn't let Keith destroy himself with all of those drugs, maybe he would have still been alive. "The smile stiffens on Mister Jackson's face and he laughs and claps in Malik's direction. " Of course, the self-righteous bastard has spoken. " He glo

Since Ramona's confession to Edna, she hardly sleeps at night or eats well. In her bid to starve herself with worry, she suddenly remembers the innocent baby and forces a few spoons into her stomach so that the baby will be okay. Does Mister Jackson think that she killed Keith? Why would she even do that? If anything, it's the other way around, Keith has been trying to kill her for a long time. Sometimes she thinks about the situation and she just bursts into tears. She muffles her mouth again with a pillow and cries her heart out. She wishes that she can say something to someone, but she can't. She wants to tell Malik, but she can't. She still hasn't told him that he is the father of her child and now this?It's the same thing tonight and she has cried her heart out and is almost asleep when the door of her room is pushed open very violently. She jumps back to consciousness and she is terrified when she sees three men completely dressed in black walk into her house, she is more

Malik's heart drops into his stomach and he stands up straight to look at her. Her eyes are shut and her breath is little broken gasps. Her eyes are shut but the lids are flickering. "Edna, what did you say?" He touches her shoulder. She hasn't passed out, has she? Was it that good?She holds her hand over her mouth and muffled sobs erupt from somewhere inside of her. " I'm sorry, Malik. " She cries. " I am so sorry. "He doesn't know what to say to her so he just looks on as she cries. It's not like he enjoys looking at her cry, he is just honestly lost on what to do. She sits up, her face stained with tears and her face already puffy. She looks at his face and his blankness isn't encouraging at all. " How did this happen?" He stares into the air. " I don't know, we had sex in Italy. "" Yeah, but you said that it's Keith's. " He points out. " Everyone knows that it's Keith's. "" Are you saying I am lying?"" No, I'm saying everyone knows that it belongs to Keith and you can'

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

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

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
