บททั้งหมดของ Trophy Wife : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Court day.Edna hardly slept the night before. She lays on her bed awake all night as she tries to imagine what's going to happen in the courtroom. There are going to be a lot of lies from Keith and his father, she knows this one for sure. She knows how manipulative those two men can be. This time around, they are not going to get away with it though. Edna has evidence of abuse against and even infidelity too so that means that he is going down. Malik drives her to court a few hours to court time and she is shaking so much in the car that he has to reach out to hold her hand. " You are going to be fine. " He assures her. " We have the best lawyers and a just cause. "" What if it doesn't work out?" Her voice laughs confidently. Malik chuckles and looks out of the window. " It's going to work out. " He states. " But if it doesn't, there is always another way. "She nods and wipes her hand over her face and looks carefully as Malik eases the car into the Court's parking lot. Ther

Edna feels like she is a nightmare right now and she desperately wants it to come to an end. She regrets her life, she regrets the circumstances that made her say yes to marrying Keith and she regrets even going to the same school as Keith. She hates that her brother was so ill and she had to do anything to keep him alive. She hates the fact that the one person in the world who tells her that he has her on a regular basis wants to keep her married to himself for a long time. She hates that her freedom is so close that she can smell it but that she can't reach out to take it. She hates that her life is going back to what it used to be even though she has tried her best to run away from her past. She hates herself because she is going to be the one to walk up to Malik and tell him that she doesn't want to leave her abusive husband anymore. She wishes that God would strike her dead right now and end her miserable life. Edna looks at the pictures in her hands. They are copies, not

The past week has been the worst of Edna's life. She has cried her soul out of her body and she even thought of killing herself. Now she is sitting in front of the mirror after a bath and looks at herself in the mirror. She looks strange, nothing like herself. She used to be miserable, it's totally normal, but it's so different this time around. Her eyes are so red from crying that that's how they have been for so long now. She is running a temperature and her head seems to want to split into two with an ax. She grabs her face cream and squirts some of it on her hand and rubs it into smoothness. She starts to slowly apply it over her face in circular motion. She is staring into her reflection and waiting for the gray gloominess to go away magically with the aid of the cream if it doesn't happen. All she gets is this extra oiliness on her face that outlines all the sadness on her face, her dark spots from sleepless nights, and the impact of Keith's blows. She clenches her teeth

Edna only starts to cry when she gets back into the car and slams the door shut. Her shoulders shake and her hands tighten around the wheel till they turn white. Her face wrinkles up as the sobs leave her mouth heavily, she doesn't know why she is crying so much. She isn't even supposed to be having sex with the guy because she is supposed to be married to his brother but here she is crying her heart out. She holds her hand over her mouth and wipes the tears, but they just keep coming back. She hates her life, she hates that she is jealous that Malik had sex with that perfect Lawyer and that she feels so bad right now. She grabs her phone and dials Malik's number before she can even stop herself. The phone rings, but as usual, he doesn't pick up. She keeps calling him nonstop for almost fifteen minutes without even stopping and he still doesn't pick up. He is very determined to cut her off from his life, isn't he? She drops her phone and pushes her hair back as she thinks. Sh

Edna has been acting nonchalant towards her life and marriage since she has been unable to divorce Keith, but right now it's different. She feels ashamed that Anna and her family are going to find out that she is not the perfectly happy married woman they thought she was. She is afraid that they will notice dirt on the perfectness of her life and she won't seem to be so perfect to them again. It's because she makes up her mind to attend the dinner. It's barely an hour since Anna left and she just got an invitation text from Mister Jackson and she is going to attend it. Mister Jackson is going to be pleased, he is going to be so happy because she will be saving his face alongside hers. It would make a lot of sense if she goes there with Keith, but she knows that Keith might not like that. Keith is a very strange kind of person because sometimes he acts like she is irritating to him and the next he acts like he actually likes her. She doesn't know if they are at the side of the b
