The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

She had decided to move back to LA. She had just moved the headquarters of her fashion house from New Jersey to LA. Everything felt surreal She was finally bark. I knew that winning her back wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't care. Knowing that she was close to me She was holding a ceremony tonight to celebrate moving her headquarters here. Every single person in my family was invited. Everyone but me. Emily still gave me the chance to go and I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not, but she allowed my mum a plus one. Dad already had his own invitation, and so were Harper and her husband.

She probably didn't want to address me directly. I hurt her. I understood what I had done and I deserved her coldness. However, I wasn't going to give up.

This was my first social event in almost five years. I was about to see her and for the first time in forever, I knew what real joy felt like.

I arrived with my family and we were taken to the table assigned to us. I kept looking around me and didn't find her. She hadn't arrived yet. For a moment, I found myself looking for the blonde girl my heart beat for. I needed to remind myself that her hair was now black. "Are you alright?" Harper's voice made me look at her.

""Never felt better."

"Julian.. I don't want you to get your hopes up. Emily won't welcome you with open arms. Hell she is no longer Emily. Her name is Amelia now." Harper felt the need to give me a reality check, but I didn't need it, I knew that Emily was going to be hard on me. I was aware t Everyone's attention got directed

to the gates of the hall. My eyes landed on the woman of my dreams and I forgot how to breathe. She was there. in front of me, looking as beautiful as ever in a burgundy dress that perfectly hugged her body. I didn't think that Emily could get more beautiful. but she never I could feel my heartbeats as they raced. There were many people around me and all of them were talking, but everything was blurry in my eyes except for her. She was the only clear image in my mind.

She wasn't alone though. There was a man beside her. I didn't know who he was, but I knew that I was bound to hate him with the way he was holding her close to him.

The moment she walked inside, everybody started to surround her. She was the owner of "Masked" after all, one of the most successful brands to ever exist. She had managed to make a name for herself in less than five years and she wasn't even known beforehand. Worry filled me when I saw the crowd around her grow. Was she okay? She wasn't always good with huge crowds. I tried to steal a glance at her and she seemed fine. Perhaps she managed to get over her fear.

Soon, she went to her table alone with the blond man beside her. I wanted to kill him for being with her. How was I going to beg for her forgiveness and ask her to be mine again if she had a boyfriend? That would make my mission ten times harder.

I waited for God knows hold long until she was finally alone. That was my moment. I needed to talk to her and get her to listen to me.

got up from my place and made my way to where she was standing. The closer I got, the more nervous I became. Her eyes caught mine and she lost her composure for a moment but quickly recovered

"Hey, Emily" I was proud of myself for managing to talk without stuttering.

"It's Amelia," she corrected me in a cold tone.

"I looked for you. I looked for you for so long, but you vanished," I said. I wanted to touch her to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating. She was right there in front of me.

"Emily Harolds did vanish a few years ago. She had no place in this world." She was bitter and she had every right to be, I was willing to accept anything from her. I would take her anger over her disappearance any time.

"I know what I did was awful. I should have never given you the divorce papers. I should have never ended things with you that was. I should have listened Words rushed out of my mouth

"Oh, don't say that." A frown appeared on her face, but I could tell that her

reaction was full of sarcasm. "I should be thanking you. You contributed to my success. Had it not been for the way you threw me out and humiliated me, I would have probably never started my own brand. You and my ex-family played a vital role" I winced at the comparison, hating the way she considered me similar to her ex-family.

"I regret everything. Em-Amelia. I want to make things right." I tried to reach for her hand, but she took a step back. It was hard to call her with her new name. She was Emily to me, the gorgeous blonde who captivated my heart, but I respected

her wishes. I was willing to do anything she wanted,

"You're very late, Julian. You believed some pictures over me. You threw me out like I was some trash, not your wish. You gave me the check to humlate me. You didn't give me a chance. You didn't hear me out." There was disgust, pain, and anger in her tone and on her f "Let me make things right. Let me show you that I can be a good man for you." I was desperate. She wasn't aware that I was drowning and she was

my only glimpse of hope..

want Emily and Emily is no longer here. As for Amelia, she can't stand you, so leave." Her words were knives in my

"I have a boyfriend," she confirmed my fear.

Speaking of the devil, I saw her boyfriend making his way towards us. I didn't want to be in the same place as him. I didn't want to talk to him, but I did want to find out more about him. I wanted to know who was the man who managed to win her heart. "This isn't over," I said before walking away.
