The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

I put on the dress Rose bought for me. Truthfully, it was beautiful. I loved its gold colour and they way it fit my body. I tried to talk her out of buying it for me, but she was incredibly stubborn. It was incredibly expensive, and I was more

than okay with something cheaper, however, she wasn't having it.

I had been living with the Kensingtons for the past week and to be honest, it wasn't bad at all. I was at the guest house most of the time, but I did have dinner with them two times, I was glad that they were giving me the privacy 1 needed. I applied the final touches to my makeup and made my way to the main mansion. I was pretty nervous because I didn't know what to expect from everybody once they heard the news

A maid opened the door for me, and I walked inside the house. I sat on the big couch in the living room and waited for any of them to show u wasn't used to attending such events because Mr Harolds didn't use to take me. I was barely known "Hi, sweetheart. You look absolutely stunning Rose's voice made me smile and I stood up to greet her.

"So do you" I grinned, admiring her dark grey dress. She bought it when we were shopping together and I knew that it looked perfect on her, but in looked way better now

Soon, Julian and his dad came downstairs. When Julian saw me, he stopped for a moment, eyeing me. I didn't know if he was going to throw a rude remark or not, but I didn't really have it in me to bicker with him. My nerves were already all over the place.

"Emily, you look absolutely amazing, Uncle Steven said as he approached me. He asked me to call him that on my second day here when I called him Mr. Kensington.

"Thank you" I blushed, not used to that amount of compliments.

"You can ride with Julian tonight. You two must be seen together all the time. This is your first official appearance, okay?" he said and I nodded, then my eyes met Julian's.

He looked handsome in his dark blue suit and white shirt. How could a colour of a suit bring out the blue of someone's eyes? Everything about him. was on point and his brown hair was perfectly styled.

"Let's go." That was all he said before marching towards the front door. I was about to follow him, but Rose held me back.

Julian, get back here." Rose was a nice lady, but

her stern tone sent chills down my spine, Julian stopped in his tracks, then returned. "You do not leave her like that, and she's not supposed to follow you. She walks first and you walk behind her. I believe I taught you better than this. I dont expect you to treat her like that "Sorry." He looked down, then he lifted his face and looked at me. "Shall we go?" I nodded and walked in front of him, and he followed behind.

The car ride was full of silence. I had nothing to say to him and he probably didn't have anything to say to me. I wanted to get to know him. I wanted to make our lives easier, but I couldn't just do that on my own and I had a feeling that he wasn't going to let me break any b 115Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

When we arrived, Julian put on the act of a gentleman. He opened the door for me and didn't let go of my hand as we walked together towards the entrance. My heartbeats accelerated the moment I saw the amount of people inside. The fact that many eyes fell on us did no "Breathe in," he whispered, standing in front of me once we reached our table. He acted like he was fixing my hair, and I was glad that he was blocking my view. I felt

him pull my body against his and 1 hid my face in his chest for a few seconds. "Breathe out," he instructed me. I did as he said and repeated the same exercise until I was calm.

you, I murmured, offering him a nervous smile. "I'm not used to these events and the circumstances aren't really the best."

"Thank you,"11

"Whether we like it or not, you're about to become a Kensington, so you better act like one. I don't expect my future wife to embarrass my family" Gone was the man who had just nursed me through the mini panic attack I was about to suffer from. Soon, Rose and Uncle Steven arrived.

I didn't want to be here. That was a huge show I didn't want to participate in, but I didn't have a choice.

"Mr. Kensington, it's a pleasure that you're here. A man with grey hair approached Uncle Steven and shook his hands, then welcomed all of us Uncle Seven called him Mr. Williams. I didn't know who he was

"Who is this pretty lady?" he asked, looking at me.

"This is Emily Harolds, Julian's fiancé, Uncle Steven answered. Mr. Williams was surprised upon hearing that.

"Wow, you've got yourself a fine lady. Congratulations!" Mr. Williams said.

I felt him wrap his arm around my waist and I tensed as I wasn't used to his touch. "A very line and gorgeous lady indeed." He kissed my cheek and I managed to draw a small smile on my lips. My anxiety was getting the best of me, but I was trying to be in control of my en 1236 PM

"Why haven't we seen you before, dear Emily?" Mr. Williams wondered,

up with the

"I was busy with college and social events aren't really my thing I came up

the most decent lie my mind could think of

"Let us see more of you. Such a beautiful lady like you should always grace us with her beauty. I blushed at his comment and thanked him,

Soon enough, more people started to approach us and many of the attenders were starting to learn who I was.

"Are you finally getting the attention you want?" Julian took me by surprise by saying that. I was not in the mood for his remarks tonight.

"What makes you think that I want attention in the first place?" I wondered looking up at him. Even in heels, he was way taller than me.

"I know enough about you, Emily. He took a sip from the glass of whiskey in his hands,

"It's funny that you're throwing judgments based on what you've heard about me, but you're not even trying to

give the actual me a chance even though I'm right in front of you" I sipped my champagne. "As for me, I made up my mind and it's not based on what I've heard. It's based on what I've seen. I have conse to realize that you're one of the most judgmental people I've met in Before he could say anything, I left him standing all alone and made my way to the terrace. I was in d

dire need of fresh air.
