VERONICA’S POV

After Simeon ditched me on the way to the restaurant, I had no choice but to wait for the driver he arranged to pick me up.

I stood there for almost an hour, growing more irritated by the second. My feet ached from standing too long in my high heels, and my stomach growled in protest. The sun had already set, and the once-busy road had quieted down. Every passing car that slowed down gave me false hope, only to drive off and leave me standing there like a fool.

By the time the driver finally arrived, my patience had long since run out. The moment he rolled down the window to apologize, I silenced him with a sharp slap across his face.

"Do you have any idea how long I’ve been standing here?" I snapped, watching as he clutched his cheek in shock. "Next time, don’t keep me waiting like this."

Without giving him another chance to speak, I got into the car and slammed the door shut. As the car pulled away from the curb, I leaned back against the seat and exhaled deeply. My t

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 22: "DON’T SUE ME, LOVE ME"

    ALFRED'S POVAnother trial at the court is less than two weeks away, but Vina and I hadn’t spoken in days. It felt strange not hearing from her, especially now when I needed her the most. She was my lawyer, but more than that, she was my only hope. Still, the silence between us grew like a heavy fog, thick and hard to breathe through. Every day without her call made me feel more alone. I kept checking my phone, hoping to see her name on the screen. But nothing came. No messages. No calls. Just silence.In the midst of that silence, a twisted offer kept popping up.Kira.She continuously reaching out to me, like a ghost from the past. She said she could stop everything— the trial, the threats, the chaos. All I had to do was get back together with her. Just like before. Like we never ended things. She made it sound so easy, like all the problems in my life could disappear if I just held her hand again. She acted like we were only a kiss away from peace.But nothing about this was simple

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 21: DIAL M FOR MADNESS

    VINA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling heavy. My chest was tight, like something had settled deep inside me and refused to move. Sleep didn’t come easily after last night. I tossed and turned for hours. My mind had been spinning with thoughts— Scott’s words, the truth about my father, and the risk I was about to take. I kept asking myself if I was really ready for this. If I could still go through with the plan. If I had the strength.I needed answers.I needed to know if Scott had started making any moves toward getting the evidence. If I was going to take down Richard Norman, I had to act fast— before he even had the chance to suspect me. There wasn’t time to waste anymore. Everything was falling apart faster than I expected.So, I picked up my phone and called Scott.No answer.I frowned and stared at the screen for a second. Maybe he was still sleeping. Or maybe he was busy. But I couldn’t wait. I needed to talk to him now.I called again.Still nothing.I felt my chest ti

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 20: WHICH SIDE DO I CHOOSE?

    SCOTT'S POV For years, I lived under my father’s shadow— no, under his grip. He ruled not with loud words or strong hands, but with silence and expectations. Expectations that were heavy and cold. The kind that made you doubt yourself, even on days when everything went right. On the surface, he looked calm. But beneath that calm was control— tight, unshakable control.I grew up thinking that maybe, just maybe, one day he’d let me prove myself. I thought I would be the one to carry on the legacy. Noir Elixir was supposed to be mine. I studied for it. I worked in the company, learning from the ground up. I did everything right— or at least I tried to.But deep down, I always knew the truth. He would never really give it to me. Not willingly. And I was right.When he finally stepped down and retired, he didn’t call me to his office with a smile or hand over the authority like I had dreamed. No. He had no plans to hand the company to me. It was never in his mind.And then came Lovina.Sh

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 19: "THE COST OF HIS NAME”

    VINA'S POV "Are you really sure of what you’re saying?" I asked Ivy, my voice barely louder than a whisper.She had just finished telling me what she overheard— what Richard said. I didn’t want to believe it, but a part of me already knew. Deep inside, I always had doubts about how our father died. Ivy’s words didn’t shock me as much as they confirmed the fear I had buried all these years.Back then, they said our father, Nathaniel Brown, overdosed and slipped in the bathroom, hitting his head. Case closed. But our father never touched hard drugs. Never. Not even once. Our mother confirmed it too. He was a clean man. A man of dignity and vision. Someone who believed in building things with his hands and his heart. So how could he die like that?He was murdered. Someone made it look like he overdosed. That someone... was Richard Norman.I could feel my chest tightening with pain and rage. As a lawyer, I’ve dealt with criminals, liars, and manipulators. But this... this was personal. T

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 18: "KILLER HEELS, KILLER SECRETS"

    IVY'S POVI never imagined that Scott would betray me. Not after everything I did for him. When Noir Elixir was crashing down, I stepped in like the savior he never deserved. I brought a design that originally belonged to Alfred— yes, I knew it wasn’t mine. But I was desperate. I wanted to help Scott. I wanted him to see me —not just as someone from his past, but as someone worth loving again.Back when he and I broke up, I tried everything to get closer to him. I wanted us to work again. I wanted things to go back to how they used to be. But it wasn’t easy. Not when he had already gotten back together with my sister, Vina. Lovina. My twin sister.Lovina was always the perfect one. The favorite child. The one everyone chose first. The one who never had to try too hard to be loved. While I had to fight for attention, she always had it handed to her. But when fate handed me another chance to be close to Scott, I didn’t think twice.Scott asked me to model for him. I said yes, of course.

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 17: DON’T CALL ME SIS

    VINA'S POV“Lovina, I can’t let your father-in-law take your law firm away from you,” Alfred said quietly.We were in his bedroom. It was supposed to be a normal evening— some time together, just the two of us— but I could feel something was off the moment I stepped inside. His energy was different. He wasn’t smiling like he usually did when he saw me. He barely even looked at me when I walked in.He had just returned from meeting with Kira. And now… this?I turned to face him fully, arms folded across my chest. “So you want to choose her over me?” I asked.The moment those words left my lips, the air in the room changed. It was like all the warmth disappeared. The room that once felt safe now felt cold and unfamiliar. Even though Alfred was standing right in front of me, I suddenly felt like we were miles apart.Alfred didn’t answer right away. He let out a deep, tired breath and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. His head dropped into his hands. He looked exhausted. Defeated.I

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 16: "LOVE ME OR LOSE EVERYTHING"

    KIRA'S POVI’ve always liked Lovina since I was thirteen. There was something about her that pulled me in. Maybe it was her strong will. Maybe it was the way she walked into a room like she owned it. Or maybe it was her silent confidence— the kind that didn’t shout but spoke louder than any voice could. I don’t really know what it was. But I knew one thing for sure. I liked her. I liked her more than I had ever liked anyone. And I thought— just maybe— she would see me too. See who I really was beneath everything.But she never did.Her eyes were always on Scott.The funny thing? Her twin sister, Ivy, was madly in love with Scott too. How amusing, right? Two sisters chasing the same man. It was like watching a real-life soap opera play out right in front of me. But even from the beginning, I knew nothing real could come from it. My brother wasn’t the kind of man who could love anyone truly. Not in the way someone like Vina deserved. They could never last. I was sure of it.But then Vin

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 15: "DATING DISASTERS 101: NEVER TRUST A NORMAN"

    ALFRED'S POV I was just waking up when I heard the crack of the door. The sun was barely up, and my head was still cloudy from sleep. I didn’t expect anyone to come in, but the moment I saw her, I sat up quickly.Vina walked into the room with a storm in her eyes. She didn’t even bother to say good morning. Her energy was tense, like she had been carrying anger all night and couldn’t wait any longer to let it out.“You never for once told me you knew Kira. Scott’s younger sister,” she said sharply.The name took a second to register in my sleepy mind. I was still stuck somewhere between sleep and reality, and it felt like my brain was moving slower than usual.“Kira?” I repeated, rubbing my forehead, trying to wake myself up fully.But she didn’t wait for me to catch up. Her words came out fast and sharp. “Yeah. Kira Norman. The lady you took a picture with at the Statue of Liberty in New York.”As she poured herself a glass of whiskey— way too early in the morning for that— I knew b

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 14: GUESS WHO’S NOT THE CEO?

    VINA'S POV As I passed Kira back her phone, Richard cleared his throat. That sound alone was enough to silence the whole room. It wasn’t loud, but it had power. I looked up and saw the seriousness in his eyes. His expression was firm, and I knew something heavy was coming."Let me go straight to the reason I called for this family meeting tonight," he said. His voice was calm, but there was a dangerous edge to it. Nina, Scott's mother, was already shifting uncomfortably in her seat. She glanced at everyone around the table like she was trying to read our minds or find the answers in our faces.Then came the question I dreaded. The one I expected, but still wasn’t fully ready for."What is going on between you both, Vina and Scott?"Scott let out a laugh. It sounded fake and careless. He grabbed my hand like he didn’t just ruin my life. “What are you talking about, Father?” he said smoothly, trying to act innocent.I wanted to pull my hand away. I wanted to scream, slap him, anything.
