The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

I wasn't going to let him put me through that again. I wasn't going to allow him to accuse me of being a cheater.

I was not a cheater!

"I won't let you insult my loyalty! Do you hear me? I have been loyal to you. I'm not the one who messaged him. I showed you the message! If I had something to hide, I wouldn't have let you touch my phone," I snapped at him. I had never been that angry at him, but that w won't allowed to cros

*1 didn't insuh your loyalty." His voice was way lower than mine.

"You did!" My voice cracked. Shit! I didn't want to cry in front of him. I wasn't that comfortable around him yet. "You know what I took a deep breath, "we need things to get back to how they originally were. I turned to leave.

"You still love him, don't you?" That had me stop and slowly run to him.

"What?" I was really confused. How did he come up with that conclusion?

"You still love him and you're waiting for any sign from him to get back with him, don't you?" His voice was low and raspy, as if it pained him to utter those words With every word he said, he took a step towards me until there were only a couple of steps between us. Why w "I wasn't aware that you considered me that cheap. I muttered, stepping away from him, but he quickly closed the space between us and wrapped his fingers around my armL

"Do you still love him, Emily? Why did I sense fear in his voice!

"Why do you care" I had to know the answer, because you wouldn't sound like that unless you had feelings for the other person.

"Answer me, please. Despair was evident in his voice, making my heart skip a beat,

I sighed and unlocked my phone, handing it to him. "Check his messages. See if I replied to any of them nicely"

He shook his head and gently pushed my hand away "Use your words, Emily Tell me whether you still love him or not?

"I don't love him. I can never love a man who didn't give me a chance. I can never love a man who chose to abandon me when I needed him the most, I told him. The way relief took over his face had me astonished.

"Do you think you can give a chance to a man who didn't know you well at first,

spent the first four months of your marriage barely talking to you and asked you later to be friends with benefits with him and went crazy upon seeing the name of your ex on your phone because he was scared that you might have feelings

for him?" My mouth parted and I looked at him, unable to say a word. What was he trying to say?

I wasn't blind. I could spot the difference in the way he treated me, but I wasn't aware that things had really developed to that extent between us

"Julian.. I'm Emily. The girl you started to tolerate only two months ago, I mumbled, trying to knock some sense in him. Was that the heat of the

moment!

"I know, You're Emily. The girl who has proven in every way that she's exceptional. The girl who has managed to conquer my thoughts and I cannot get out of my head." I must have been dreaming. "I'm tired of pretending that I don't feel anything towards you, so please out of my misery and tell me that you can give me a chance."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I think I took a deep breath, closing the space between us,

"I think I want you to kiss me. His lips crashed with mine and within seconds, I was backed against a wall. I didn't understand what was happening and I was caught in the moment, yet I didn't mind. I wanted to savor each second.

"You don't know what you're doing to me," Julian whispered, looking straight into my eyes. I was growing nervous

"Do you like me?" I asked, meeting his gorgeous blue eyes.

"Like you? Oh sunshine, we're past that. Not giving me a second to react he kissed me again. What changed? I thought I was going so spend two years walking on eggshells around a man I was supposed to consider my husband, but I had a feeling that things were about are we exactly doing?" I wondered, placing my hands on his chest.

""What ar

"Kissing" he replied casually, making me giggle.

"I thought we weren't supposed to kiss unless we were having sex." I tilted my head to the side.

-Arr you

telling me that you want to have sex now!" He raised his eyebrows..

"Something is surely wrong with you today." I laughed,

I don't want us to be friends with benefits. Let's be a real married couple. Let's give each other a real chance in this marriage," he told me, playing with a strand of my hair.

12:30 PM c

"That sounds nice, I grinned. Was this really happening? There was a little girl inside of me jumping up and down as if somebody had told her that she was about to be taken to the biggest festival in town.

"There's something I want to show you." He reached for the hand that wasn't injured and took me to his office. I had probably been to that room twice ever since our marriage.

I liked how it wasn't dull like Jeffrey's. Julian liked light colours and I loved his clark beige desk and the off white chair behind it. Even the couch wasn't the usual black or white, it was a light shade of blue, complementing the rest of the place. "Here you go." He handed me a huge box placed on the table before the couch.

I sat down and placed the box beside me, eager to know what was inside. Carefully, I removed the lid.

A gasp came out of my mouth upon seeing what he got më.

"Did I mail the colour?" he asked me with a smile on his face.

"You did I exclaimed, getting the sacramento helmet out. It was beautiful.

I got up from my place and kissed his lips. I loved how he held me close to him whenever we kissed.

"I want to go on a ride!"

"Once your wrist heels up." he replied, causing me to

to whine.

"No, please! I promise 1 can hold onto you well"I pleaded, but he shook his head.

"Not until your wrist is okay."

"Fine" My shoulders slumped.

"Don't pour." He pecked my lips. "It's just for two or three days, but maybe if you let me take you on a date tomorrow I can make it up to you." A smile formed on my lips when he said that. "I would love that"

I was excited to know the kind of life I was about to live with that version of Julian.
