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
Trophy Wife 93
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. 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
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 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.
