Prologue
She stood in front of a crowd with dried up tears in her eyes…..her eyes that were said to be the most beautiful pair of eyes in the world with long luscious looking eyelashes, well rounded and stretched out and most importantly blessed with a pair of red pupils. As she pushed back her luscious red hair behind her ears I looked at the side to spot another pair of eyes that was fixed on her without blinking. Everyone in that courtroom believed that she was innocent but no one was going to oppose while she would be punished for a crime she never did………..I looked down and fiddled with my fingers, unable to watch the further proceedings.
But………changing my world around 3 words suddenly resounded in that room.
“I am GUILTY”

Somewhere in New YorkEmily’s PovI Un-Love you words that are better said than done. I looked through the window as my taxi drove at full speed. The Christmas lights from outside looked blurry through my eyes filled with tears, I closed my eyes as a final attempt to compose myself only to realize that it just helped my mind to flash his images over and over again. As my destination approached I pulled out my glasses, wiped my tears and tied up my hair in a messy bun. After taking a deep breath I got out of the taxi.“Whoa you looked messed up” my co-worker said.“Not now Jack, don’t you think I know how I look?”I said as I took out my camera.“Let’s just get this over with”***I looked at the well-lit stage and then around the room filled with people who were all well dressed up and had broad smiles on their faces.

My aching body was not doing me any favors and the cold tiles of my kitchen floor weren't making the situation any better. I heard his footsteps coming towards me. I tried to crawl away but it was too late…..“Jeanette” I heard Ryan’s voice and I opened my eyes.“You okay?” Ryan asked.“Ya I was just……thinking”“There is someone here to meet you”“I will be out in a few minutes”Some painful memories are better forgotten but some painful memories are to be remembered over and over again until it stops to sting.

Jeanette’s Pov“People say marriage is the union of two souls but for my family it was nothing more than a business deal. For years our family hadn’t seen a love marriage. My grandparent's wedding was a business deal so were my parents and they didn’t see any reason why my marriage should be any different. I remember sitting in my room all dressed up as a bride hoping for love in a loveless union I was naïve enough to think that a person who was marrying me as part of a deal would actually fall in love with me I don’t know why I thought he would be different than my abusive father”I paused for a moment to control my tears.“What followed after the wedding was years upon years of abuse he assaulted me physically mentally sexually and for a better part of that relationship I didn't say a word in objection how could I he was my husband after all”_Flashback_

Emily’s Pov People often say desperate times calls for desperate measures but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you end up doing something stupid but when someone like Jeanette who has been through constant abuse decides to change her life forever suddenly all bets are off. I could clearly see a weird sense of glee on Jeanette’s face as she narrated the rest of the story.

She was better in absolutely everything. She was rich, famous, gorgeous, had a stable career and now she also had my husband by her side. I was a homeless, almost divorced waitress, who stays with a guy she barely knows because she has absolutely no one else. How could I even begin to feel better than her?
