The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 29

I stood frozen in front of my husband not knowing what to tell him. Everything was against me, but I didn't do anything. The pictures looked so real that I questioned myself whether it was me in the pictures or not.

"They're fake!" I exclaimed, hoping that he would believe me, but it seemed like I was hoping for the impossible. The look in his eyes spoke a thousand words,

"You sent me pictures of yourself in that dress that night!" Julian snapped. He was right. I did send him pictures of myself in that dress the night I went out with Maya when he was on the business trip he had just come back from, but those pictures were fake. I didn't unde taken.

"I don't know what to tell you other than it's not me." I sat down on the couch and my head fell in my hands. It wasn't easy for me to recover from the company incident

that happened two months ago, but his support made it easier. I didn't have it now though. My husband truly believed that I cheated on him.

The thing was, it wasn't Chester that was with me in the pictures. It was Sam, my best friend from work. Sam was with us that night, but it was only because I was trying to set him up with Maya.

"I don't want to hear a single thing from you," Julian spat. His tone made me flinch. I looked up at him and I swore, at that moment. I preferred death over the look he gave me. "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.

My heart was bleeding. I looked down at the papers before me and indeed, his signature was there on every single page. "Don't worry, I won't leave you with nothing.
