The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 160

He's late again.

I don't want to be the annoying wife, who doesn't give her husband a chance to breathe, but disappointment is tearing me apart and I'm not sure if this is considered an exaggeration or not.

Silas and I have been married for a year and three months. Our one-year anniversary was amazing. In fact, our first year together was too good to be true, but I don't know why there's a negative feeling in my gut whenever I think about our second year.

On our one-year anniversary, Silas decided to take me on a three-day vacation to Hawaii where he made every moment memorable. He organized a majestic beach date that was literally as beautiful as the romantic gestures I read about in the novels. It wasn't just the fact that he booked an entire beach for us. He gave me my own beach cinema that night.

He pulled a few strings and managed to get me a copy of a movie I wanted to watch even though it hadn't been released yet. We cuddled on comfy schezlongs for the whole time, wrapped up in a warm blanket, savoring every second of that unforgettable night. I know that life isn't supposed to be a fairytale all the time, but I can't help but notice some changes that has been going on lately. The thing is, I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong or this is just marriage.

But I have seen my parents and how beautiful their marriage is. I know that they did not have an ideal start, but as I look at them now, I always pray to end up having the same marriage they have. They do have their disagreements like any other couple, but I have always appreciated how they always put their love above anything else. Neither of them cares about winning an argument as their main worry is not hurting each other.

with Silas from the outside, they're going to think that everything is perfect, but I can tell something has been going on for the past three months. At my darkest moments, I think that Silas has grown

is that she hosts a fashion show annually where all designers get to showcase two dresses of their designs and although they have the label of the fashion house, each design has the name

the heir to her brand. That's why she allowed me to have my own fashion show under the fashion house's name. Nobody has this privilege but me, and while I was really hesitant about taking this step, she was the one who pushed me to do that. She said that she wanted me to be prepared and make a name for myself from a young age, because she wanted to make sure that the fashion house was in safe hands when she would decide to
