Trophy Wife 59
Mister Jackson is already in the sitting room waiting for them. He is reading through a newspaper as he waits. Edna and Malik walk in and he smiles. He shakes hands with his son and hugs Edna with a happy expression on his face. Edna is not expecting this at all. The main reason why she didn't want to come is that she thought that the hostility towards her would be overwhelming. Why is Mister Jackson being so friendly? Why is Keith behaving as if he wants her?Malik pulls out a chair for her and she sits. He does the same too and just as they settle down, Keith stumps into the room. There is something angry and mean about his walking and the way he briefly greets his father before he loudly pulls a chair to sit down. Edna ignores him, pretending to be more interested in the silverware that is before her than her tantrum-throwing husband. Malik is right beside her and she feels the warmth of his hand on her knee as he gives it a light squeeze. Her face is down but she smiles, sh

Edna is sitting down at one of the tables closest to the window and she watches as tiny droplets of water roll on the glass and tickles down till it disappears. She does that for so long that by the time she looks up at Malik again, he has drunk almost half of his coffee and she is yet to even take a sip of hers. She prefers to keep her fingers around the cup and even though it burned to some extent, the stinging feeling is gone now and it's just warmth to her fingers now. She doesn't even realize that she has this gloom on her face or how much she is just drifting off in her thoughts until Malik says something. " Is something wrong with the coffee, Edna?" He lightly touches her finger to get her attention. " It has lots of creams, just the way you like it. "Yes, she has noticed that he knows that about her. He knows the littlest details about her and that's not just something he picked up from the few days that she has been seeking asylum in his house. He knows her favorite fla

Early the next morning, Malik and Edna are at the airport to catch their flight. This time around there are no assistants anywhere and that means that they have to carry their bags themselves and have to wait in line like everyone else. It's stressful, yes, but at least they are not being recognized easily. No bodyguards and assistants mean that little or no attention would be paid to them and they are enjoying it. Edna is wearing a flower dress and a stylish hat is on her head together with some fancy glasses that sit at the bridge of her nose. Malik is dressed in jeans with a leather jacket and a baseball hat. To any person, they would look like a couple going on vacation and nothing gives off their identity as members of an elite family. When it gets to the time to check in, they both move towards the check-in desk towards the man who is dressed behind the desk. He gives them smiles as they give him the details for him to check them in. It gets tensed up when the smile slowl

Malik doesn't know why he said what he said. He knows that Edna was surprised too because of the shocked stare she gave to him. He didn't mean to make her feel uncomfortable, he just wanted to put the woman in her place and although it worked, Edna doesn't say a single word to her. The plane lifts off the ground and it has been hours since they have been flying and not a single word has he said to her. Yeah, maybe that wasn't a very smart thing he did there, he told the woman that he would fuck her and he didn't know it would scare her so much. He lays his head against the headrest and tries not to think about what he has done so much. He glances at her, contemplating if he should apologize now or wait till they get to Rome first. Edna falls asleep after they have had lunch on the plane and her head falls against his shoulder. It took him by surprise the first time because even though she did it unconsciously, he still feels it's a good sign that shows that maybe she has forgive

Edna heaves in relief when he returns her kids and presses his hands around her waist. Thank God that he is playing along. Mister Leonardo laughs with delight and claps his hands as if he has just witnessed a long-awaited happy ending. " I like this. " He beams. " I love to see young people in love because I wasn't privileged to do so. "Edna smiles and leans against Malik who chuckles nervously. "I'm going to have to find a more befitting ring. " Malik scratches his hair. "Oh, baby. "She touches his neck. " I don't care for any ring, all I want is for our love to last forever. "Mister Leonardo is beaming even more than them. He wants to say something, but a man in a black suit comes and whispers something to him. "My dear friends, I have to go now because I have dinner arrangements with some people. " He sounds sad. " But we are going to be meeting tomorrow and I am looking forward to that. Please bring the gorgeous Edna with you, I can't wait to speak some more to her.""It's
Trophy Wife 64
Edna has just had the sleep of her life and she feels so bad that morning has finally come. She blinks her eyes and slowly comes back to consciousness. The first thing she notices is the warmth of the bed, it's more warm than usual and it's making it even harder for her to get up. It seems there is someone else on the bed with her and that person's strong hands are around her stomach, holding her close. She manages to turn around slowly and she almost lets out a scream when she sees that it's Malik that is holding her in his arms. Her first instinct would have been to scrabble away from him, but she doesn't do that. He looks so peaceful and beautiful that she lays her head back against the bed, she doesn't want to wake him up. His finely jawed face is still as he calmly breathes in and out. His lips are calling her to themselves, she just can't stop staring at them. Then his eyelids move and then he opens his eyes. He seems to be shocked to see her looking at him because he jum
