The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

32

Six months had passed, and I couldn't find her. She literally vanished. I got in contact with everybody she knew, asking all of them if they knew anything about her, but she was nowhere to be found. I knew that I fucked up, but did she have to do that? I would have taken a misuse.

I hadn't taken part in any social event after her disappearance. I didn't want to see anybody. Working was already hard enough, but I had to. In some way, I needed to take revenge on every person who hurt her. If only I could take revenge on myself.

"Don't you think it's enough?" Jeffrey Harolds was sitting in front of me. I planned on making him lose everything gradually for enabling his wife and stepdaughter. Didn't they give my sunshine a hard life? I was going to make them all pay. "Not really." I shrugged.

"I get that you're doing that for what Fiona has done to your marriage, but she was just jealous. She couldn't believe that you didn't fight enough for her." Jeffrey defended his stepdaughter, making me laugh. Either that man was stupid or he was oblivious just like I was "Don't you know? Your beloved Fiona is the one behind ruining my marriage with her. The look on his face told me that he was oblivious. "Fiona and Chester were seeing each other while Chester was dating Emily

and I was engaged to Fiona. They wanted to be together, but because of the arranged marriage, they couldn't, so they planned the whole thing. Emily and I never slept together before our marriage. We were both drugged that night.

Sam sent me some documents privately. They weren't posted online, and I learned later on that it was Emily's request. They were old conversations between Fiona and Chester that revealed a lot. As for the missing parts, I got them from Chester because after reading everything. I saw red and paid him a visit. He told me everything after I made his face black and blue.

"Julian, if you keep doing that to my company, I will lose everything," he pleaded..

"And that's exactly what I want. I want you to lose everything. You gave her a terrible childhood. It's only right for karma to come running after you." I was doing all of that for her. She had to know that I still loved her with all my heart. Her scent is still in my nose. "You're not just destroying me! You're hurting Emily too" Confusion took over me when he said that. How was I hurting Emily?

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I straightened my back,

"The company.." He looked down, What did Emily have to do with his company!

"What does your company have to do with Emilly!" I tried to be calm.

"Tell me that you'll stop destroying the company and I'll tell you." I wasn't going to make a deal with that man.

"No, you don't to make the rules here. Either tell me right now or within a week, I will make you homeless." That wasn't an empty threat. I had

the power to do so.

He stayed silent for a moment and I watched as his throat bobbed. "The company is actually Emily's" My eyes went wide. How was it her company? "But all the documents are under your name."

"The company originally belonged to Emily's mum. When she died, I found out that she stated in her will that the company was to be handed to Emily once she turned twenty-

one." He didn't need to tell me the rest. That man was horrible. He forged the will and the documents after he found out that the woman left him nothing. He stole Emily's company.

"Don't you have any shame?" I snapped. "You stole her company, took her away from the house she considered home after she lost her mother, and ended up favoring your evil stepdaughter. What kind of father are you?" I was disgusted by sitting in front of him. "Listen here. In case you haven't noticed, my original plan was to make you homeless, but I'm giving you another chance. Provide me with the original documents that the company actually belonged to Emily and I will buy the company from you. Not with its actual worth, ""Five millions?! This is so low," he exclaimed.

Then you're choosing homelessness" I turned my chair to the side, acting like I didn't give a damn. Actually, I cared so much. It was hers. It was Emily's. I cared about anything about her or belonged to her. I will bring 1

you everything tomorrow," he said in defeat.

I should have been happy. I should have felt good, but I couldn't. I was a hollow person after her. Nothing seemed to bring joy to me.

Jeffrey wasn't the only one who was paying for his actions. Chester was no longer respected. With a few calls, I made sure that he wasn't going to be taking place in any respectable projects anymore.

As for Britney, she was currently one of the janitors in my company. I gave her two options. She had the chance to choose between becoming a punitor for three years or never being accepted at any company ever again. She definitely chose to be a janitor.

I didn't know how to punish myself for what I had done to her, but she was punishing me with her absence. I was dying from the inside, I wanted to see her, hug her, kiss her, cuddle in bed with her, travel with her, and do every single thing I could ever do with her. After I finished working. I told my driver to take

me to my parents' place. I hadn't seen them in so long.

Mum and Dad had done everything in their power to find Emily, but none of them managed to do so. I was glad that they didn't tell me you so! They had probably noticed my state and thought to themselves that I already knew that there was nobody to blame but me. When I arrived, Mum told me that Dad wasn't there. He was out with his friends. It was good that she was home though.

et me to talk

"How have you been?" she asked me. She knew that I wasn't in the best state, but she was trying to get me to "Not good," I admitted, looking down.

"No m

told

news about her?" she wondered as she placed a cup of coffee in front of me. I missed the coffee Emily used to make for me.

"No." I shook my head. "Sometimes I wish for a time machine. I only need to repeat the last two months of my life and I swear, I won't doubt her ever again." I wanted to cry, but I was embarrassed about doing that in front of my mum. "I told her not to contact you... I told her to stay away from all of you. If only she didn't listen to me

*Maybe she is just hurt. She's probably giving you a hard time and she will eventually come back." Mum was trying to make me feel better, but it was hard to believe her words. "Are you sure that Maya and Sam know nothing about her whereabouts?" I shook my head. "I'm not sure of anything. They may be hiding her, but I could never know. They will obviously take her side. I shrugged. The way she looked at me when I threw the check at her was haunting me. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw the broken look in he pain I caused her. "Did she leave you a letter or anything?"

"No. She just left everything I bought for her. Literally, everything. Even the sewing machine," I replied, looking down. "The thing is, I can't stay at home. I see her everywhere. Her scent is there, and everything reminds me of her. And I also can't leave that place because be "Would you like to stay here for a while? What you're doing to yourself isn't healthy." Mum placed her hand on my shoulder.

"I deserve this. I deserve this pain because of the way I made her feel" I needed to leave. It wasn't wise of me to pay my mum a visit when I was in

that state.

"You made a mistake, but you don't deserve to live this w

"I wish I could, Mum. I wish I could"
