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.

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.

" 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

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'
