The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 29

"I always chose to believe you. I always thought somebody was after you, but I... I can't give yo you and your lies! You always made me feel like somebody was conspiring against us, but I guess I was wrong to believe you. Maybe you did drug us! Maybe you did take the money! And surely you cheated on me! I'm done with you"

"W-

What do you mean!" I knew what he meant, but I refused to believe it. I refused to believe that the best thing that had ever happened to me in my life was about to come to an end because of something I hadn't done. I couldn't believe that he brought old matters into this. It innocence.

"Sign these." He placed a pen and some papers on the coffee table before me and my heart sank. They were divorce papers.

"J-Julian just give me a chance to prove that I did nothing." I pleaded. His eyes held hatred I had never seen before, not even when he woke up: beside me two years ago not remembering anything about a night we had allegedly spent together.
