The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

I had been staring at the picture in front of me for the past ten minutes. My demons were getting the best of me, whispering in my ears all the fears I had been trying to push away. I was trying to fight all the dark thoughts that threatened to destroy the

relationship I was thankful to have with my wife.

Everything had been fine between Emily and me. We were happy and had no problems, so there was no reason for me to believe that the picture before my eyes was real.

It was a picture of Emily with Chester's arm around her waist. When did they meet? Why didn't she tell me? Would she tell me the truth if I asked

I walked to the kitchen; she was making us dinner. Everything about her seemed normal. I had no reason to suspect anything. Even in our little getaway, everything was perfect. I didn't want to get back and neither did she.

"Can I talk to you?" I calmly said as I took a seat on one of the chairs.

"Sure." Her smile was genuine and dazzling

"Have you seen Chester lately?" I asked her.

I noticed the way she tensed for a second, but she quickly recovered as she took a deep breath and gave me a short nad.

"Where!" At least she didn't lie. That was good.

"Do you remember the day you told me about the getaway?" I nodded. "When I went to get lunch for us that day, he was at the coffee shop right across from the company. I didn't see him until he called my name. I tried to ignore him, but he ended up putting his arm arou "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I didn't want you to do anything reckless. I know that Chester may be doing all of that to rile you up and make you do anything stupid, so I thought.. I should just let it go." She wasn't wrong. If she had told me, I would have probably gone to his own place to beat I didn't say anything. Instead, I handed her the phone. Her face fell as she read what was written.

"Do you do you want me to call Sam? Coincidentally, he was there. He saw me pushing him away." She seemed hurt as she spoke those words. I hated how her voice cracked

I got up from my place and made my way to her. I took the phone from her hand and set it on the kitchen island, then wrapped her in my arm. "I don't need to call anyone to know the truth. I trust you and I trust whatever you say, okay?" I softly kissed her forehead. "I love you and there's nobody else I want but you. I swear. My heart cracked at the way she poured out her feelings to me. It was stupid of me to even bring up that article. I should have kept it to myself. I trusted her with everything in me, so why did I have to upset her an "And I lo

d I love you too." I took her in my embrace, inhaling her scent. "I love you more than you could ever imagine." I kissed her head before resting my chin over her head.

I heard her sniffing, and I knew that I was the reason behind her tears. I hated that. I loved being the reason behind her smile, I loved how her face would brighten up whenever she smiled.

"Why can't he leave me alone?" She frowned, looking up at me "What am I supposed to do! He's the one who left me! He believed that I slept with you while I was with him and now he's chasing after me. Why? Anger was evident in her voice, and I didn't know what to sa "You know what? Maybe I have been nice. She practically jumped out of my embrace and reached for her phone. I was confused and didn't know what she had in mind.

"What are you going to do?" I inquired, approaching her

She didn't answer. Instead, she angrily kept pressing on her touchscreen, then put her phone on speaker.

"Who are you calling?"

Before she was able to answer, Chester answered. Just hearing his voice made my blood boil.

"Chester, leave me the fuck alone! I don't know what game you're playing, but I don't want you and I will never want you," she snapped.

"You don't know what you want," he told her. The audacity of that asshole!

You're nothing but a mistake in my life! Nothing! I hate you, I don't want to see you or talk to you! I'm married and happy! Accept that! It's not my

fault that Fiona can't satisfy you!" I had never heard her that angry,

Was it wrong of me to be turned on by what she had just said!

"One day I will make you realize that I'm the right person for you." He was fucking sick.

"You need to be medicated! You're delusional!" She yelled before hanging up.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Easy there." I took the phone from her hand and set it on the counter.

"Julian, he's sick! He is fucking obsessed with ruining my life!" she exclaimed in pure rage.

"I know and I'm starting to worry about you," I admitted. "Would you please accept having a bodyguard! We can't really have a restraining order against him since he hasn't done anything, so the only way I could ensure your safety when I'm not around is getting you your She looked down for a moment as she inhaled sharply. "Can't I have a normal life? Why did my ex have to be crazy?"

"I want nothing but a normal life for you too, but unfortunately, we have to deal with a lunatic. So, please let me provide you with protection." I reached for her hand. She stayed silent for a couple of seconds, before finally giving me a nod, making me sigh in relief. I wanted nothing but her safety and I was glad that she didn't make it any harder for me.
