Trophy Wife 15
But it has been five days now and Malik hasn't returned. She has been worried, but she has never had his number before, and besides, she has his phone. She is now even wondering what the reason for her trip is. She has been here for a while now and all she has been doing is getting fed excessively by Mrs. Lucy and then being treated like a queen. She hasn't had a breakdown like the other day, and she has grown to know more about the family. It turns out that she has been wrong about the brothers. She thought Young is the eldest, but it turns out that Ji is. He is quiet and more reserved than his brother, but he is the head of the company, directly after his father. Anna is adopted, but she doesn't seem to be affected by the glaring fact at all. She has a darker skin tone than the rest of her family - genetically, she is half Asian and half African. Even with the bold difference, it's obvious that she loves this family and that this family loves her dearly too. She is her father's

Edna is wearing a strapless dress that is peach in color. Her boobs are almost popping out of the cups of the dress and the slit is so high, that it stops at her waist. She looks into the mirror and turns around to catch her look at different angles, she doesn't know if she likes this or not. "This is just perfect. " Anna comments with a satisfied twinkle in her eyes. "You think so?" Edna twists around to catch the reflection of her bare back in the mirror. " The color matches your perfect skin and your beautiful legs are on display. " Anna adds. " This is going to make heads turn. ""I don't want to make heads turn, I am married. "Edna reminds her, just in case she has forgotten. "I didn't miss that, MRS Jackson, I am just trying to introduce you to a little bit of fun. " Anna defends herself. "Yeah, right. " Edna rolls her eyes. She returns her focus to the mirror and admires the dress even more closely. You know, Anna is right, the dress is indeed beautiful, but very much on

Edna takes out her phone and starts to go through her Instagram. She giggles at some of the funny contents and proceeds to leave a like on posts that impress her. But Instagram is one of the things that she is not allowed to do. Not that she doesn't have social media accounts or something, but managers are paid to operate it for her. To get less bored with her life, she opened an account under a pseudonym. And with that, she has been able to navigate through her serious life. She is watching a skit when her screen suddenly freezes. Her heart tightens as she sees an unregistered number appear on screen. Her number isn't something that just anyone has or can get, and that means that this person calling has got to be someone important. Given the seriousness of the matter, she sits up and swipes the answer icon. She places the phone over her ear. "Hello?" Her voice is steady, unlike her nerves. " Edna, it's me. "She recognizes the voice on the spot. It's Malik, she knows his voice

"Malik?" Edna is mortified. He was the last person that she was expecting to see here as she doesn't know if she is happy to see him. "What are you doing here?" She questions him. "The same as you. " He laughs. " Exploring the fun side of a new city. " He is still speaking when someone else comes and sits beside her too, it's Young. She is falling apart right now. It's this a kind of scheme or something? They all came up with this beautiful plan to come and waylay them. "You guys have got to be kidding me. " She groans. " Trust me, Anna won't be drilled to see you guys.""Don't worry about Anna. We aren't here for her, we are here to make sure that you are okay. " Young tells her. "I'm fine. " She insists. " This isn't the first time that I have been in a club. "" In a new city, that can be overwhelming. " Young points out. Malik and Young think that something about this is somehow funny, but she doesn't. She is madly upset that they would do this to her. She knows that Anna

Edna looks around, maybe someone would be able to notice that she is in danger. Her scared eyes scan the room, but she can't find anyone she knows. The strangers around her are so high and having a good time that they can't notice she is in danger. The waiter returns with the drink. He enters and drops it beside Edna. She is looking at him, praying that he looks at her also, but it doesn't happen. It's like he is deliberately avoiding her gaze and all he does is drop her order and get the hell out of the place. Edna is helpless with different thoughts going through her head. Her eyes are watery, she doesn't know what she has done to deserve this. Just when she is losing hope, she sees Malik coming and her heart grows light again. She expects him to deeply frown and make a big scene, but he doesn't. He instead keeps a straight face and walks into the VIP section. He walks past the guards and seats beside Edna. "Are you okay, babe?" He asks. He doesn't wait for her to answer

Malik sights Dimore and Kim sneaking away through the corner of his eyes but he doesn't say anything. Something snaps on the inside of him, but he doesn't panic, he remains calm. Edna saw nothing because her head is against his chest and her eyes are shut. It's better that way because she would probably go nuts if she knows that her bodyguard and assistant watched him kiss her. Malik knows that he shouldn't have kissed her, but it's so hard to control emotions that have been bottled up for so long. He doesn't regret kissing her, but he is going to be mad at himself if she gets in trouble because they go off and say something to someone. He is going to handle them, he is going to find a way to fix this one. He is still deep in thoughts with a buzzing sound from his pocket that almost jars him. He dips his hand into his pocket and takes out his phone. Oh, it's Young, they probably haven't seen them around. He swipes the call icon across to the side of the screen and places it aga

She hugs Anna the longest and she would have sworn that she had a sniff and whimper, Anna is emotional that she is leaving. When they stop hugging Edna notices Anna's red eyes and the residue of tears in them and she can't help but tear up herself. "You know, I never thought that I would say this ever in my life, but I want to swap you for those bucket-headed brothers of mine. " Anna confesses with a laugh even though she has tears pouring down her face. That's the comic relief that everyone has been waiting for and they all burst into laughter. " Well, I have a very huge house, you can come to visit. " She tells her. " Maybe. " Anna shrugs. " If I get a break from school, I will come and spend a few days with you. "She pu

After driving for some time, they get to Ellicott City, where Edna's parents live. It's a very good neighborhood. The houses are huge and it's a very peaceful place. Edna pulls the car to the side of the road, beside a house covered in Orange paint. The house is a one-story building and it's very elegant, like the ones around it. "That's a very nice place that your family has got here. " Malik comments. "Yeah, your Dad bought it for us." Edna reveals as she takes off the seatbelt. " From the house to the car, to the very socks my dad would be putting on right now. "There is a stiff smile on her face which makes it hard for Malik to tell if she is just being sarcastic or very angry. "Let's just go and meet your people, shall we?" He quickly changes the topic. Both of them come down from the car and she presses the button to lock it up. They walk side by side to the front door and Edna braces herself as she knocks on the door.
