The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

"You need to check the internet now!" A frantic Harper told me over the phone. What the hell was going on! My sister was usually calm, so for her to he in that state meant that something was surely wrong. "Which website?" I asked, reaching for my iPad.

"Pretty much any website. You have made one hell of a wrong decision, Julian. I don't think there's any rurning back." Her words sent worry to my heart. What was she talking about? "Clarification, please?

"Emily.. she's innocent. She didn't cheat on you. My heart tightened upon hearing her name.

No, that could never be true. She cheated on me. I saw the pictures of her and Sam together.

Harper was right. Everything was on every website. Everybody was talking about Emily and what she had posted online. A lot of videos, recordings, WhatsApp conversations and e-mails had been posted.

1 clicked on one of the videos and saw Fiona in front of me. It was obvious that she was secretly being filmed.

*1 so want to bring her down. She told me she was gonna hook me up with one of her ex-husband's best friends, but she didn't!" Was that Maya's

"She's already down. She has no husband. No family. Nothing. And it's gonna be hard for her to find a job after everybody found out that she had stolen from the company's money. Fiona said. Her tone was devilish "But she basically stole pennies," Maya spoke.

"She didn't really steal anything," Fiona admitted, making my blood run cold.

"How?" Maya exclaimed in surprise,

"I have a friend inside the company and this friend doesn't like Emily. We compired together against her. She was a fool as she used to leave her laptop unattended a lot, so we managed to tamper with the original files. My wi-Emily didn't do it. Fuck! How was I going to fix that?

"Is it Britney!" Maya asked.

"You know hNôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

her?" Fiona looked surprised.

"No, but I remember Emily telling me before that a girl named Britney used to throw snide remarks at her."

was going to make Britney regret everything she had done to my girl.

The ending of the video seemed to be filmed at a different place. I was right. The voice belonged to Maya. "My best friend was never a thief. Her stepsister orchestrated all of that. She had a wide grin on her face as the managed to prove the innocence of her best friend. I skimmed through everything else and felt like I wanted to die. The pictures were truly fake. Some of those pictures were originally of Maya and Sam, but Maya was taken out of the picture and Emily was placed instead

Chester's iCloud had been hacked and hell, it was full of pictures of my beautiful girl. He must have used those pictures to photoshop Emily with Sam. It was clear that he had been watching her for so long as Emily wasn't even looking in many of these pictures. There we mails between him and another account that belonged to the person who photoshopped the pictures.

Fuck!

posed to fix what I had done!

How was I supposed to

My hands were unsteady. I searched for her name on my phone and quickly called her, but I was met with an automatic message, telling me that the number was no longer available,

I called Maya, but it seemed like her phone was off. Maybe she had blocked me.

I jumped up from my place and basically dashed out of the door.

"I need Sam's number now old my personal assistant. He had left the company right after I divorced Emily.

It took me a few days to tell my family about the divorce. When I did, my family was in shock. They loved her so much and couldn't believe that

she had really cheated on me...

"Thave a strong feeling that you have commuted a terrible mistake. Harper told me when I told them about what i had done. I wish I had my user's intudea I wali Had chosen to believe her. I wish I had reacted differently. 11 03 AM c d

It didn't take my personal assistant long to get me the number. I tried to call him, but he didn't answer either. How was I going to reach her? How was I going to fix my mistake!

The damage I had caused was severe, but if I had to beg her to forgive me, I would do it.

Quickly. I called Mum. Maybe Emily had gone against my will and called her. "Mum, did Emily call you? Please, tell me she did." I was breathing heavily, as if I had been running a marathon.

She. She didn't. I tried calling her, but it seems like her number is no longer in service," Mum said. I wanted to

I ruined my marriage with my own hands.

scream.

"I need to go, bye." I hung up and quickly made my way out of the company. Luckily, I knew where Maya lived because I had driven Emily to her place before.

If I was lucky enough. I would

find Emily there. I just needed to see her and apologize for everything I had said and done. I would do anything to get her back. I was going to take her on a long trip as an apology and visit every place on Earth she had ever dreamt of visiting.

I messed up on so many levels, but not once had I ever stopped loving her. Even when I gave her the divorce papers, I was being stabbed from the inside because she still owned my heart. When I first saw the pictures. I felt betrayed. I couldn't believe that the girl I loved After a forty-minute drive. I knocked on Maya's door.

The moment she opened the door, I blurted, "Where is she? Where's my wife?" Maya was surely aware of Emily's whereabouts.

I think you need to refresh your memory. She's your ex. Maya's tone was cold, but I couldn't blame her. I was an asshole. I destroyed everything with my own hands. I pushed the woman I loved away and accused her of things she had never done, but I couldn't just let her "Maya, listen, I know I fucked up. I know I deserve to be thrown in hell, but I swear, I love her, and I will never love anybody else as much as I love her," I made a huge mistake, but I was willing to do anything to win her back.

My eyes widened in surprise when I saw Sam. What was he doing at Maya's place?

Is Emily inside? I need to see her. She has to hear me out. I love her, I love her so much and I'm going to do anything she asks me just to win her back, I told them. Maybe if I managed to convince them, they would be able to convince her to give me a chance. "No, you don't love her. You believed some pictures over your own wifet She needed you to have her back. She needed your support, but you believed the lies Fiona spread like everybody else. You're no different. You don't deserve her. Her words were cruel, but she had e "I know! I know I don't deserve her, but I love her! I love her and I can't just forget about her. What do you want me to do to prove to you that she's my entire world' How I make you believe that I won't repeat my mistakes?" I was desperate.

"It's a little too late for that, Julian," Sam told me, making me frown. What did he mean? No, it wasn't late. I was going to find her, beg her for her forgiveness, convince her to marry me again, and make her happy. The happiest woman alive.

"No, it's not you just tell me where she is, and I will go to her and beg her to forgive me. I will get on my knees if she wants me to." I threw my hands in despair.

"You don't understand, Julian. I don't know where she is. None of us does!" She had to be lying. "I lost my best friend because of you!"

"You're her best friend! Of course, you know where she is!" I was getting impatient. Why did they have to act like that? Maya wasn't making any

"Emily is smart. She knew that you'd act this way upon finding out and... she had her mind set on not giving in to you. She told us she needed a fresh start and knew that you'd be able to convince us to tell you where she'd be, so she chose not to tell us anything" Sam filled me in.

I leaned against the door frame in frustration. No, that could not be happening. I looked at Maya and found tears rolling down her cheeks. Her tears weren't crocodile ones. They were real.

Emily didn't want me. She didn't consider me worthy of her love.

I wasn't. I knew I wasn't, but I couldn't let go of her. She had my heart. She was everything I had ever wished for and I stupidly let Fiona's lies get to

"I love her. I can't.. I can't be without her," I whispered, looking down. "I'm willing to do anything to win her back. I don't know what I can possibly de to fix what I had done, but she can decide. She can put all the conditions she wants, and I will respect all of them. She can d 1. I don't know what to tell you?

tell you" Her tone was laced with defeat,

"Nothing. Don't say anything I tumed away from her front door and made my way to my car. There had to be something that I could do. I wasn't

She was my entire world, and I wasn't going to stop until I had her back
