The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

I

I watched as my wife stared at the documents scattered on her desk in complete silence. There were billions of thoughts running through her head and I didn't know how to assure her that I knew she didn't steal from me. Yes, I had my own questions, but I wasn't going to speak out a single word that would make her think that I didn't trust her, because I trusted her.

"I. I don't know how it got here," she whispered, looking at her account number that she had highlighted. "This doesn't make any sense."

"Sunshine, maybe we should go home and calmly think about this together," I told her. Nobody was at the company but us and the security guards downstairs.

Emily ignored me and opened her computer. I didn't know what she wanted to do, but I wasn't going to leave her alone. Even if she decided to pull an all-nighter, I was going to stay with her.

I wanted her to know that I was on her team and I was willing to defend her before the entire world.

"At lease tell me e what you're doing." I said.

"I get the file from Britney, then I print it, sign it, and give the document to Mr. Andrews. I want to know if my account is there in the file I received from Britney. That's why I'm looking through my inbox." Okay, smart move.

I waited for her to do whatever she wanted. I wanted her to calm down and put this all behind her. The money wasn't even that much. The ring on her finger cost more than the stolen money by at least seven times. "It's not there... Her voice cracked, breaking my heart.

"Emily, I don't care, I swear, I don't care," I muttered, placing my hand over hers

I didn't steal the money! I didn't place my account among the company accounts." Tears rolled down her checks and immediately, I took her in my arms. I didn't believe the documents. I believed her. I knew that she wasn't going to steal from me.

I know you didn't. I know," I said, caressing her blonde hair. I hated seeing her in that state,

"How did this happen?" she whimpered as more tears trickled down her rosy cheeks.

"I don't have an answer and I don't care. To hell with those seventy thousand dollars. I don't give a fuck about them," I told her, refusing to let her

"I... I didn't take anything," she murmured after a few moments of silence.

"I know." I kissed her head. "It's possible that somebody must have framed you," I told you. I did believe that she had been framed and I was going to investigate the whole thing I trusted her with everything in me. Not once had she given me the vibes of being a gold digge It took me some time to get her to get up. Her cheeks were a little bit puffy and her eyes were red. I wanted to burn the entire world for seeing her

in that state.

On

our way back, she fell asleep on my shoulder. I reached for her hand and held it in mine. I didn't know how I was going to cheer her up, but I had to do something.

Once the driver stopped in front of our front door, I looked at her and found her still asleep. I didn't want to wake her up. She seemed incredibly exhausted.

I carefully got out of the car, trying not to wake her up, but my attempts went in vain. She was a light sleeper.

"Hey, sunshine. We're home," I whispered. She looked at me for a second, then nodded. We both walked inside and silence filled the room. It was very uncomfortable. I wanted to talk to her, to take her mind off what happened, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to "Emily, why don't you go take a shower while I heat up the dinner Melissa prepared for us?" I suggested.

"I don't feel like eating, she mumbled

"No, that's not going to happen. You haven't eaten anything since noon," I told her.

"I just had it not been for the fact that I'm your wife, the whole situation would have been different. You would have fired me." She frowned, looking down. I didn't want to tell her that it would have been a lawsuit had it not been for her being my wife. "Good thing you're my wife then."1 wrapped my arms around her.

I "But="I placed my finger on her lips.

"Do you think I didn't commit any mistake when I first started? I made my father lose three million dollars because I forgot to send a very

Important e muil" It was true. I wasn't lying to make her feel better.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"You forgot to send an e-mail You didn't find the money in your bank account." I hated the sense of shame in her voice.

"Sunshine, you're my wife, okay? 1 expect people to try to come between us. Maybe this is a game. I'm not foolish to believe that you're going to steal this amount from me, not when you have a black Amex card in the drawer of your nightstand," I reminded her. She stayed silent and dipped her head down, then gave me a small nod. I could tell that she was still upset and she had every right to be, but I didn't like seeing the woman I was in love with in that state.

"Emily, I'm giving you five seconds. If you don't show me that gorgeous smile of yours that I'm totally in love with, I'm gonna have to do something you absolutely hate." I smirked devilishly at her. "Julian, please... I have no energy," she whined, throwing her head back.

"I don't care." I shrugged. When she refused to smile, I did the thing I knew would make her laugh. I picked her up quickly, making her squeal, and gently threw

her body on the couch. My fingers found their way to her waist and I began tickling her, making her erupt in laughter.

Now that was a sound I was madly in love with.

"J-Julian, stop," she gasped for air as she tried to push my hands away, but I was way stronger than her.

"What's the magic word?" I said, still tickling her.

"L.. I'm h-hopelessly in love with y-you," she managed to say between laughter, making me stop. It wasn't her first time saying that she loved me, yet the effect of these words never ceased. I gently pulled her up and sat beside her, then pulled her on my lap. "I don't want you to let something as stupid as stayed silent for a second, then nodded.

that ruin

n your

mood, okay!" She

I brought my lips to hers and kissed her like my life depended on that kiss. I was thankful that I was able to brighten her mood because nobody made me happy as much as she did.
