The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 6

When I saw Emily leaving the mansion, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to follow her. It was obvious that she wasn't going anywhere fancy because of what she was wearing. Right after she got in a white Corolla that was probably an Uber, I followed her. She ended up going to a grocery store. 1 didn't know where I was expecting her to go, but I wasn't thinking. I just wanted to get to know the girl I was going to call my wife soon. I wanted to know about the malicious girl that I was about to spend two years with. I wasn't that discreet because she turned around more than once, attempting to see if somebody was following her, I should have left when I ended up knowing where she was, but something made me want to keep following her. I kind of felt guilty for the way 1 made her p Apparently, that decision wasn't the best because I was suddenly stopped by a security guard. Somchody had noticed how I was following Emily and ended up reporting me.

"I know her! I'm not stalking her!" I exclaimed, attempting to defend myself.

"You wouldn't follow a woman like that if you knew her!" the security guard said.

I looked at Emily and saw her eyeing me with utter surprise. Her lips curled into a smirk and I had a feeling she was going to deny knowing me. My parents were going to kill me if I got arrested. I gulped when I saw her walking towards us

"Miss, this man has been following you. Do you know him?" the security guard asked her.

"He has been following you for so long. Are you okay?" a girl who was around twenty years old said as she approached Emily. She was probably the one who reported me,

"Thank you so much. I'm alright Emily told the girl with a smile on her lips. "Unfortunately, I know him, though. I was surprised when Emily said. that; nevertheless, relief took over me

"You do!" the security guard inquired, earning a nod from her. Only then did he let go of my arm.

"My fiance is an idiot. He just loves pranking me by following me around. I told him more than once that he would eventually get in trouble, but he had never believed me. Maybe he will now." I was amazed by the story she managed to fabricate in a matter of minutes. I wa though because she was saving my ass. As much as I was happy that I wasn't going to get in trouble, I didn't like the idea that I was going to owe her a favor.

"Oh I thought you were in danger. You know the world is full of creeps now," the girl said. "I'm sorry." She gave me an apologetic smile.

"It's okay. I should be thanking you for looking after my girl." I then turned to the security guard. "I'm free to go now, right!"

"Yes, sorry for the misunderstanding."

I ended up walking silently beside Emily. I was embarrassed and didn't know how I was going to explain myself to her. Honestly, there was nothing to explain. I was stalking her.

She smirked, looking at me. She was gloating, I stayed silent, not knowing what to tell her. "Tell me, Julian. Where did you expect me to got Which weird place did your mind imagine me to be at? I mean, I know you're n "Look,
