Trophy Wife 49
Now Edna has peace. Dimore is out of jail, she has told Kim not to come to the house anymore - she will try her best to manage, and somehow Keith has disappeared again. Nobody is happier with being alone than Edna. That feeling of going to bed without the anticipation of her drunken abuser walking in, or the yearning to burst her eardrums because she can hear the moans of the housekeeper as her husband shags her. Peace is when she prepares her small meal even though it's so hard and peace is when she goes to bed knowing that she won't wake up to pushes and punches.Peace is what's healing her wounds now. The fact that no one is going to come and punch them back to soreness, isn't that wonderful?That's the feeling she went to bed with and there was also a broad smile on her face when she slept off. She wakes up before the breaking of dawn with a strange feeling. It's not a bad feeling, but it's not a good one either. She has this feeling that someone is in the room with her and she
Trophy Wife 50
Edna feels a hot chill slowly engulfing her before completely taking over her. She feels an emptiness in her heart as she just processes the fact that Dimore won't be here every morning to pick her up to take her to work. He won't be in the car to crack jokes with her or compliment her new hairstyle. She is so stilled from the shock that she has to get a stronger grip around her phone because it is threatening to slip out of her grasp. "What?" She manages to say. " It has been three weeks now and I'm sorry because none of us have been bold enough to tell you. "Edna looks down at her feet. Not that her sharp red heels are interesting today, but she doesn't know where else to place them. "Who did that?" She asked. " Dimore works for me and me alone, why would anyone fire him without my consent? "She is silent for a while and it's because she knows that they both know the answer to this question of hers. " It was Mister Jackson himself, ma'am. " Kim informs her. " He came into t

Edna feels a tightening in her tummy and she sucks on and bites her tongue. Keith being back means trouble for her and she doesn't have the energy for that right now. The last time he was here he beat the living hell out of her, literally, and she has just recovered from that. Is she ready for whole new bullshit from him? Whatever he is going to do to her this time around, is she going to be able to survive it?She has this serious thought of turning back right now and going to spend the night in a hotel because it's going to be more peaceful for her. Hopefully, he should be gone by morning with all of her things again, but that's what she cares for, she wants peace that's all. She remembers Malik's words to her and how she told him that she is going to be fine, how she is going to " handle " Keith. Now she doesn't trust herself, Keith is just one lunatic that is dangerously out of control. With a little hope left in her heart, she holds her bag tighter and walks through the front

"I'm really close. " He tells her. "I'm waiting. " She bites into her lips until she tastes the faint taste of blood. Keith is no longer hitting the door but she knows that he is not gone, he has probably gone off to find something to break the door. " Be careful when you get here. " She sighs. " He might be armed. "" Well, so will i. " He says. She has hardly finished the conversation when a loud sound that is similar to an explosion leaves her ears ringing with pain. Splatters of wood fall over her and that's when she scrabbles away from the door. To find a safer place to hide in. Keith has a fucking gun and he is trying to use it to get the door open. Edna's teeth are chattering with fear, she knows that the moment he gets in here, he won't hesitate to put a bullet in her head. She scrabbles to the wardrobe and locks herself in it as she desperately tries to stop crying. "Edna, are you okay?" " He has a gun, he has a gun. " She cries. "I'm almost there. You're good. " He

Malik can't believe his ears. It seems that she has misinterpreted his silence because she starts to fold and refold her hands and begin to sigh, doubting what she has said. " You want to leave, Keith?" He asks. " You don't think it's a good idea?""What do you mean? " He moves closer to her. " Remember when I was mad at you because you were choosing not to leave him? If anything, I am proud of you that you have chosen to take this bold decision. "She nods and he notices how dry her voice sounds and how shaken she is. Poor Edna. She has gone through many terrible things and the last one was the worst of them all. What would have happened if he wasn't in town? What would have happened if he chose to travel?He doesn't want to think about what the consequences would have been. She would have been cold dead in a pool of her own blood and he knows that nothing would have happened to his brother. His father would probably bribe through it and it would be ruled as suicide. She is cryi
Trophy Wife 54
Edna is shaking like a fish that has been thrown out of the comfort of the waters. She walks right into the company with a copy of the divorce papers sealed in a brown envelope. She had a dream last night and it's the most terrifying yet. In her dream, it was exactly like this. She was heading to her father-in-law's office and when she handed him the divorce papers, he took them. He took it and looked over it before tearing it into pieces. The doors flung open and the men took her away even though she tried to scream her way out of their grip. They took her to this basement and had her chained like a dog. Keith came through and did several unspeakable things to her and she is still shivering from remembering it. It was a very vivid and terrible dream. She tries to keep a straight face as she walks by employees who won't stop staring at her. She hasn't been to work for some time now and she knows that rumors must have been flying around. She doesn't care about what they think th
Trophy Wife 55
Edna goes back to Malik's house with her head feeling like it's housing a thousand monsters that have separated themselves into two parts and are now having a war. The headache, the thoughts, it's all making her lose her mind. After she watched Keith order Kim away, she stood there with confusion on her face as she thought of what to do. Keith molested Kim and even though Kim didn't make an allegation- not that Mister Jackson would let it go anywhere, but it's just insensitive for Mister Jackson to cover up for him and make her work for him too. Edna drives back home with a tense feeling in her head. When she came, she was more disturbed by the fact that she might not be allowed to leave, but now she is dead worried for Kim, she doesn't know what that monster would do to her. Malik isn't at the office, he has some meetings to attend. She knows that he told her that he won't be around much and she should text him if she needs anything or calls if it's an EMERGENCY. She is sitting
Trophy Wife 56
Mary starts humming a song and she glances up at Edna. Edna is just sitting there with a sad expression on her face. " Won't you like to help me?" Mary asks. Edna is startled that she jumps up from her seat and takes the knife that Mary is handing to her. She adjusts her arms and looks down at the half-chopped spring onions, she has never been more clueless. Maybe it's just anxiety. "Um, how would you like me to chop them?" She asks. " However you want to do them. " Mary is by the cooker. She is lighting it and placing a pan over the blue flames.Edna flexes her fingers a bit and picks back the knife. She arranges the onions again and slowly starts to chop them. It takes her back home to when she cooked with her mum while her father was working in his shop. Her brother was away in his mechanic workshop and so it used to be only them. Her mother would tell her romantic stories of how she met her husband and Edna would listen with a smile on her face. She used to think that she
