The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

27

1 was going out of my mind. How did that happen! For the past four months, money had been disappearing. The thing was, the amount was almost insignificant, but it was almost the same every single time. When an investigation was launched, it all came back to me. I was still in utter shock.

"Emily, we're not accusing you of anything, okay? We're just trying to understand what's going on," Julian told me. Since I was his wife, he refused to hold any official investigation. I was currently sitting in front of him and Mr. Andrews, my boss.

"I genuinely don't know. I know I sign the salaries document before Mr. Andrews, but that doesn't mean that I look at each account every single time. If I did, I would want an entire week to check every account, 1 defended myself.

"It's true. It's not logical to check them every single time, but when a constant amount gets missing every month, then you should check," Mr. Andrews replied.

"That would be possible if I'm only signing just this document every month. There are six other documents that require signing monthly and they're all as big as this one," I replied.

I hated that situation. I had always been a hardworking individual. I had always given any job I did my all, so to find out that I was initially responsible for such a huge mess was tearing me from the inside.

"Okay, we're going to run a check on every account here and if we find a foreign one, we're going to run further investigations," Julian decided, and I just nodded.

Mr. Andrews and I

I got up to

to leave, but Julian asked me to stay. Did he have more questions for me!

He got up from his place and walked over to me when Mr. Andrews left, then leaned down, surprising me with a kiss on my lips. "I don't want you to worry, okay?" he whispered when he pulled back.

"I don't know what's going on. I knew that there was an amount that got missing every month and 1 did tell you about it a few months told me that it was normal" I said, standing up,

and you

"And I still believe that it's normal. I also remember that I told you we run investigations from time to time to catch thieves. This is a standard procedure, sunshine. Just because it has come back to your department, that doesn't mean that you're fully responsible." He took "I'm sorry

try if I'm causing you any trouble, 1 mumbled, looking at him,

"Don't be ridiculous." He pecked my lips. "We all make mistakes and this is your first job. You're bound to make mistakes.

I didn't know what to tell him. I was glad that he was understanding, but I wanted to know where I went wrong. I wanted to know how to avoid such a mistake in the future. I was his wife and I was sure that many cyrs would be on me, so I didn't want to cause him any troub We made our way back home after work. I just wanted to throw my body on the couch and watch a movie or two,

"Mrs. Kensington, somebody left those bank letters to you. They were delivered to your father's house, but they had somebody drop them off for you" I frowned when one of the guards told me that, Bank letters? What bank letters!

"This is weird," I told Julian as we walked inside the house. Something didn't feel right.

"This isn't even our bank," Julian said, pointing at the name of the bank. My eyes fell on the logo of the bank and it was easy for me to recognize it.

"Yeah. It is the old bank I had my account at before marrying you," I replied, opening the letter. Confusion

took over me as my eyes scanned the statement. Something wain't right. Why did I have money in that account? I transferred everything to the bank 1 had been using since I got married. "What's wrong?":

?" he asked me. I must have been staring at the letter for long-

"It's just... I have money in this account," I replied, looking at him.

"What's the issue with that he wondered as we both sat down in the living room.

"I transferred everything to our bank a week after we got married," I replied. "I didn't leave anything in it."

"Is the amount big?" be inquired.

"Not to you, but for any average person, it is big. It was over fifty thousand dollars. How did that amount make its way to my old account? I handed Julian the letter as I reached for another one.

I ended up opening every single letter and it seemed that over the past few months, the same

same amount was deposited every month.

Who was depositing that amount in my account? Why was somebody giving me money anyway! 11:02 AM ď ď

"Emily. there's something you're not paying attention to. My husband's voice was low, as if he were afraid of what he was about to tell me. My heart instantly started to beat faster because of Julian's tone. "What is it?" I set the paper down on the coffee table before us.

"The amount in your bank account is equal to the amount that is missing from the company's account." My eyes widened upon hearing that revelation. That could not be true. How could it even be possible!

"What..!" It was hard to form a sentence. How did that happen? Nobody at that company knew anything about my old account but me. I had never given them any details about that account. "We need to get back to the company now. I jumped up from my place. I needed to "Emily, we can wait until the morning" He tried to stop me, but I wasn't having it. I needed to know the truth.

"I can't wait, I need to go now," I insisted. It felt like my entire life depended on those documents and I wasn't going to calm down until I found our whether my account was among the other accounts or not
