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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
