The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 75

I watched my beautiful fiancée pushing our daughter as she sat on the swing. Everything had been going great lately. We moved into our new house and it wasn't just a well-decorated,

massive mansion. It was a place I had always dreamt of having. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to have my wish

come true.

If somebody told me three years ago that I would be standing in my own home that I had with Emily and we would

be happy, I would have laughed at their face. I was in a horrendous state without her in my life, but now that I had her, I realized that she was the definition of happiness. She was everything I had ever wished for.

Not only her. Rosie was the beautiful addition that I never expected, yet she was that unique source of joy that I was grateful to have in my life.

But despite the blessings I had in my life, I was scared. No, I was petrified, because there were always reminders of what I had done to her. It was like the world didn't want her to forget how terrible I was.

"Have you decided on a date for your wedding?" Dad asked me, taking my mind away from the dark.thoughts that threatened to swallow me.

Perhaps I needed to call my therapist.

Emily and I decided to hold a family barbecue party to celebrate moving to our new home. We had been living here for almost a week and since Emily loved having our family over, she was excited when I suggested having a barbecue party. "It's going to be in five months. I want to get married to her now, but I can't," I answered him, taking a sip from my beer.

"Why?" Sam wondered. It was crazy how my friendship with Sam had evolved after Emily appeared in my life again. At first, he was my wife's best friend whom I was jealous of because he got to know her before I did.

I still could not forget that I learned from him about how sick Emily was. I knew I should have been thankful that he informed me, because I wasn't sure what would have happened to her if I hadn't returned home quickly.

For more than a month, I wanted to destroy his career before it even started when I saw him in the pictures with her,
