The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 191

"I'm leaving. Do you want me to get you something while I'm out?" I ask Silas. I'm taking Aniyah shopping today just like I promised her. She's looking forward to buying new clothes and can't wait till I give her the make-over she has been pretty enthusiastic about. "Where are you going?" Silas wonders. I haven't told him anything about my talk with Aniyah, sensing that she wants to keep the whole thing private.

"I'm taking Aniyah shopping. You don't mind, right?" I suddenly feel cautious, not sure if I'm overstepping. Yes, we're still married, and she is my sister-in-law; however, I don't know if Sas has any concerns about my hanging out with his family without him now since we're technically evaluating our whole relationship.

"Of course not," he quickly says. "You've always considered Aniyah your little sister and I know you love her so much. You don't need my permission to take her out."

"I was also thinking... maybe she can spend the night with us. She has been feeling down lately, and I want to make her feel better," I suggest. I'm already planning on paying a visit to her school and having a serious talk with her bullies. This is in addition to the talk I plan on having with my siblings who have let me down.

"That sounds great. We can even have a Harry Potter marathon. She's a sucker for this series," he agrees with me, making me smile.

"I will see you around dinner. Don't eat on your own. I will bring food with me," I cheerfully tell him and make my way to the door.

"Rosie," Silas calls my name, causing me to stop. I turn around to look at him and he says, "Thank you for everything you're doing for my sister. It means a lot to me." I blush, suddenly feeling shy.

"She's my sister too," I tell him before leaving the house.

It's been three days since I made the decision to help him out. He has officially been away from alcohol for a month and I'm super proud of him. During the past three days, he went to therapy once and to physiotherapy once. We watched a movie together last night and he was the one who prepared all the snacks. For a moment, I felt like we were back to the first six months of our marriage.

We're getting close to our second anniversary and honestly, I'm not sure how things are going to be. It's less than two months away and I know that despite the state of our marriage, I want to buy him a gift; a thoughtful one if I might add.
