The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

I stood frozen in front of my husband not knowing what to tell him. Everything was against me, but I didn't do anything. The pictures looked so real that I questioned myself whether it was me in the pictures or not.

"They're fake!" I exclaimed, hoping that he would believe me, but it seemed like I was hoping for the impossible. The look in his eyes spoke a thousand words,

"You sent me pictures of yourself in that dress that night!" Julian snapped. He was right. I did send him pictures of myself in that dress the night I went out with Maya when he was on the business trip he had just come back from, but those pictures were fake. I didn't unde taken.

"I don't know what to tell you other than it's not me." I sat down on the couch and my head fell in my hands. It wasn't easy for me to recover from the company incident

that happened two months ago, but his support made it easier. I didn't have it now though. My husband truly believed that I cheated on him.

The thing was, it wasn't Chester that was with me in the pictures. It was Sam, my best friend from work. Sam was with us that night, but it was only because I was trying to set him up with Maya.

"I don't want to hear a single thing from you," Julian spat. His tone made me flinch. I looked up at him and I swore, at that moment. I preferred death over the look he gave me. "I always chose to believe you. I always thought somebody was after you, but I... I can't give yo you and your lies! You always made me feel like somebody was conspiring against us, but I guess I was wrong to believe you. Maybe you did drug us! Maybe you did take the money! And surely you cheated on me! I'm done with you"

"W-

What do you mean!" I knew what he meant, but I refused to believe it. I refused to believe that the best thing that had ever happened to me in my life was about to come to an end because of something I hadn't done. I couldn't believe that he brought old matters into this. It innocence.

"Sign these." He placed a pen and some papers on the coffee table before me and my heart sank. They were divorce papers.

"J-Julian just give me a chance to prove that I did nothing." I pleaded. His eyes held hatred I had never seen before, not even when he woke up: beside me two years ago not remembering anything about a night we had allegedly spent together.

"Sign the papers, Emily. I have already signed them." My heart was bleeding. I looked down at the papers before me and indeed, his signature was there on every single page. "Don't worry, I won't leave you with nothing. There's a cheque

for two million dollars. Usually, cheaters get nothing, but I don't mind a bit of charity. "The belittlement in his voke made me wish for death.

He had made up his mind. He considered me a cheater and there was nothing that I could do that would make him believe that I did nothing.

With shaky hands, I reached for the pen and signed my name. I was no longer his wife. I was no longer a Kensington. For two years. I had everything I wished for. I had a

family, a loving husband, and a good life that I was willing to do anything to protect. I lost everything in the blink ofThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

an eye.

"Do not contact my family. Do not contact any of them, because if you do, I will make sure that you'll regret it. And I don't want to see your face at the company ever again. Do you understand?" I just nodded without looking at him. "I will leave for two days. When I come ba without telling him anything. "I never want to see you again, Emily. Not even by chance. Do you get it? I hate you and I wish I had never met you

There were so many things I wanted to tell him, but my tongue was tied. The shock I was in was stronger than me.

I managed to lift my head and my eyes met his for the last time. "Don't worry, you won't see me again." I assured him. I was actually proud of myself for being able to say anything to him.

My husband walked away and left me alone in that big house that I once considered home. I was supposed to leave in two days, but I planned on leaving tomorrow morning. There was no need for me to take that much time. I

planned on leaving behind many things anyway.

I looked down at my left hand and found the first thing I planned on leaving. My wedding ring. There was no need for me to have it Tears streamed down my face as I took it off. I loved that ring so much. I loved everything about my marriage, but I had a feeling that I was ne If only I had gone with him on that business trip. It was a long one and I didn't want to go because I knew many things would pile up on me at work since it was a sudden business trip.

Did my refusal to go with him make him more certain that I cheated on him? All I wanted was to finish my work on time.

I called Maya as more tears rolled down my cheeks. It was hard to control myself. The life I had grown to love came to an end.

"Maya. Julian and Lhe divorced me. He thought I cheated on him and divorced me." I cried.

"What the hell! I don't understand anything" she said, shock evident in her voice.

there right away" She hung up and 1 g p from my place, making my way to what was once our bedroom.

I collected some stuff until Maya arrived.

When she saw the way I looked, she took me in her arms, hugging me tightly. This only made me cry harder. I was hurt and upset. There were 100 many feelings inside me and I didn't know how to let them out other than by crying. I wanted to scream at the top of my lung "I need you to tell me what happened exactly and I promise, I won't let this go. I will make him regret hurting you," she said as she rubbed my back.

I sat down on the couch and took a shaky breath before starting to speak, "He came back today from the business trip he was on. I was so excited to see him. I planned on preparing a romantic dinner for us and I was really happy that he was finally back. The moment I

thing is, the pictures looked so real, but they're actually fake. Sam and I did not dance like that with each other that night. Hell! I was the designated driver, so I was sober the whole night. Even if I wasn't, Sam and I would never do that! Julian didn't believe me when I told "Julian has lost his mind. How were the pictures sent to him anyway?" she wondered.

"He said that they were sent to him last night. He already had the divorce papers with him when he came back. I sniffed. "This explains why he didn't answer my texts or calls last night"

"Listen, let's pack your things and see what we'll do about it," Maya said, genting up.

Was there something to be done?

"Nothing can be done, Maya. It's over, I murmured, looking u

ng up at her. I was surprised that my eyes still had tears in them.

"Do you really think that I'm going to let this go? Do you think I'm going to let him walk over you and just watch?" She approached me and got on her knees in front of me.

Emily, I promise we will make him regret his decisions. Now, come on We've got a new life we're about to start. She got up, extending her hand towards me. I let her pull me up

and we both made our way to Julian's bedroom to collect my things I was unable to ask her what she had in mind, but she seemed adamant that she wasn't going to let what happened go easily. As for me. I just wanted to disappear from the universe.
