Trophy Wife 90
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
Trophy Wife 91
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'
Trophy Wife 92
It looks like a dream to Edna herself but right now she is on a plane to Alabama, back to her parents. It has been five years, five years of tears and depression and now she is returning back to her parents. Five million dollars is sitting pretty in her bank account, but she doesn't if she should be happy with that amount. Yes, five million dollars is a lot of money, but is it enough?She has gone through abuse, she has been depressed, she was raped by her supposed husband and his father exploited her intelligence for years and so maybe five million is not enough. Edna doesn't take off her glasses even though the plane has been in the air for hours now. Since she has been cut off from her rich father-in-law's family, she is flying business class. It's a bit uncomfortable, but how can she complain? She knows that her life is going to change drastically and even flights might now become a luxury to her. "Excuse me, ma'am. " Someone draws her attention. It's the geeky woman who ha

She is totally expecting the shock, but what she didn't expect is for her mother to drop the glass in her hand. The sound is deafening, it's shattering and it draws all attention toward her mum. "Jesus. " She stands up and walks out of the room. Edna's heart falls into her chest, her mother is mad at her. Her father stands to his feet and can't even bear to look anyone in the eyes. " Excuse me. "He leaves the room, leaving her alone with her brother and his wife. They sigh and pull close to each other. Edna is numb from the pain, all she can do is stare into the thin air with her tear-filled eyes. " I am going to speak to mum. " Doreen walks away to the kitchen. Philip wordlessly stands up and walks out through the front door. He doesn't close the door completely and that allows bits of his conversation with her father to be heard. "I don't want to speak to her, I can't, at least not now. " She hears her father's painful voice. She sighs and her shoulders slouch as she grips
Trophy Wife 94
Edna is filled with hate when she sees that it's Malik who is calling her. She wants to fling the phone to the ground and stump on it. She hates Malik so much, she hates his family too. They took her and drained life and energy out of her for five years and what is she getting in return?Her parents are going to disown her because of him and she sure will forget all that his family has done to her. She sets her eyes and holds her hand over her forehead, pressing it to subside the rising headache, but it's not working. The phone won't stop ringing too and it's just too much for her. She angrily picks up the phone and answers the call. "What?!" She barks. " What the hell do you want?"" Hi, Edna, it's Malik. "He sounds different, this is not how he normally speaks to her. " Anna is here too, you are on the speaker. "Oh, that's why? She blinks with surprise. "Oh, Anna, hi. " She sniffs and wipes her tears. " Edna, are you okay?"" Yeah, I'm fine. " She lies. " Malik and I are cal

Edna finds strength in her legs as she kicks off the covers and picks up her sweater, it's a bit late and chilly outside. Augustus' curious eyes follow her as she walks down the stairs. She skips some steps, almost twisting her ankle, but she doesn't mind risking it all just to get there in time. She didn't expect to see her mum in the living room, her mother freezes as soon as she sees her. " What are you doing here? You should be asleep. " Her mother tells her, the terror evident in her eyes. " Is that Malik outside?" Edna asks. Her mother's silence proves that Malik is outside. She rushes towards the door and her mother dashes to stop her. " Are you Crazy? Come back here. " Her mother shrieks. She doesn't listen, and before her mother can get a good hold of her, she is gone. She hears loud voices in the dim darkness and she picks out all their voices. " Dad, what's going on?" She runs towards them. " Edna, go back into the house. " Her father orders. "Edna, thank God. I c

She is scared of his kiss because it melts her in a kind of way. She knows that the very instant that his lips come in contact with hers she can't control herself anymore, she is going to give in to him. His hand pulls her closer to him, but her belly is a little bigger and it pushes back against his lower belly. He gently places his hand over her belly and takes hers too, making her feel the child. " We fucked up, I know. " He heaves. " But this little child doesn't have anything to do with it. ""Maybe it doesn't. " She looks down. " Maybe it was just conceived at the wrong time, it's unfortunate. "" Let it live, please. "" I have to live too. " She pushes. " I don't want to be that single mother who had a child for her brother-in-law. You are getting married soon, I don't want to be in such an entanglement. " He looks down as if her mentioning the marriage is synonymous with causing him pain. It's very obvious that on this one thing, she has made up her mind. He thinks fo
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.
