The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

My head was about to explode. I didn't have anything to eat and didn't even drink my coffee. Julian and I were currently at the lab, waiting for our results. I was well aware that even if the tests were in my favor, my father wasn't going to be on my side. Nobody was going to be on my side. I was all alone in that world, and I was certain that if somebody killed me, nobody would give a damn. Not even the man I loved with all my heart. If they held a funeral for me, it would just be for their image in front of everybody. "Here." I looked up when I heard somebody addressing me. Julian was standing with two cups of coffee in his hands.

"Thank you," I mumbled, taking it from him. The two of us sat in silence as there was nothing we could talk about. Today was enough to prove to me that Julian hated me with every bone in his body.

"You really don't remember anything about last night?" he calmly asked.

"All I remember is that I had one drink. Just one drink and it didn't contain too much alcohol to wipe my memory like that," I replied and took a sip of my coffee. It was way too sweet for my liking, but I was desperate for any sort of caffeine to get into my system. She's not worth it!

His words rang through my head. Nobody thought that I was worth anything. I had been living in the shadows of my family for years. The only person who truly cared about me was my best friend, Maya.

I didn't get why it was easy for Fiona to accuse me of being jealous of her and Julian. I loved Chester with all my heart and he was as successful as Julain, so there was no reason for me to want Julian for myself. Chester was a successful media producer and was well- known in his field, while Julian was the heir to a huge trade company. Each of us had successful partners, so there was no need for any of us to be jealous of the other.

"Julian Kensington and Emily Harolds." I quickly stood up when they called our names.

"Are there any traces of drugs in our systems?" Julian asked the doctor once we both reached the counter.

"Yes, we did find drugs in your systems, but Mr. Kensington, it seems like you have more in your system compared to Ms. Harolds," the doctor informed us.

anybody. This meant that whoever drugged me knew me too well because they knew that I got drunk easily, so I could easily get drugged. Julian didn't have anything to say when he saw the results of my blood test and I didn't know how to interpret his silence. I was glad that they found traces of a drug in my system because that meant
