EMMA'S POV

After a long night of restless thinking, I finally decided to call Veronica. I had been weighing this decision for days, knowing full well that Veronica wasn’t the most reliable person to talk to. But she had history with both Daniel and Simeon— she knew them in ways I didn’t. Maybe, just maybe, she could give me some insight.

My fingers hovered over the call button before I finally pressed it. The phone rang twice before her familiar sharp voice answered.

"What’s up, bitch?" Veronica’s casual greeting was almost enough to make me hang up.

"Hope you’re good," I said, trying to keep the conversation civil.

"Emma, don’t waste my time with all that fake politeness. We both know you don’t like me," she shot back, her tone cutting.

I sighed, already regretting my decision to call. "I didn’t call to argue. I just wanted to ask you something."

"Spit it out, then," she snapped.

"You’ve been with Simeon and Daniel before," I started cautiously. "You’ve spent time with both of them.

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chspter 54: LOVE ISN’T FOR ME

    JUDITH'S POVLove? I don’t believe in it. Not one bit. I’ve seen how it destroys people, tears them apart, and leaves them hollow. That’s why I’ve stayed away from any relationship that demands commitment. I simply can’t do it. I wasn’t joking when I told Emma that love doesn’t interest me. I meant every word. It’s why I’m comfortable with my arrangement with Simeon— friends with benefits. Just sex, no strings attached. It works for me, and it keeps me safe from the mess love always creates.I won’t deny that Simeon is in love with Emma. He doesn’t even try to hide it. He talks about her constantly— her beauty, her intelligence, her charm and the way she tasted the first time they met at the bar. Emma is the kind of woman every man wants. She’s independent, wealthy, stunning, and smart. No amount of sex with Simeon would ever change his feelings for her, and I’ve made my peace with that. Honestly, if I were a lesbian, I might be tempted to try Emma myself, just to understand what make

    DANIEL'S POVWhen Simeon and I argued in Emma’s office that day, I never imagined it would spiral into a full- blown competition. The simple disagreement turned into a bet— one that carried high stakes. Simeon promised to hand over his 40% shares in Pixel Forge Studios if I won Emma’s heart, and I pledged my 40% shares in Trenton Corp to him if he succeeded. I wasn’t just confident; I was absolutely certain that I’d come out on top. After all, Emma wasn’t some random woman in my life— she was my ex-wife. I had a history with her, one that Simeon couldn’t possibly compete with. I knew her in ways no one else did. I understood her likes, her dislikes, and even the small quirks that made her unique.One thing I’ve always been good at is making a lasting impression. I know how to subtly highlight someone’s flaws while emphasizing my strengths. So, when the terms of the bet were set, I wasn’t worried. I was ready to do whatever it took to ensure I won. For me, failure wasn’t an option.But

    EMMA'S POVIt has been two days since I asked Judith to help me test Daniel and see if he had truly changed. In return for her assistance, I gave her a week off work so she could rest and take some time for herself. Judith was more than willing to take on the task, and so far, everything had been quiet. Surprisingly, during those two days, there hadn’t been any bad reports about him. “He’s resisting,” Judith told me over the phone when I called her this morning to check on the progress. “But I’m sure he’ll break soon,” she added with confidence in her voice.“Be careful,” I warned her, my tone carrying a mix of concern and seriousness, before hanging up the call.At the same time, Simeon had been pestering me relentlessly about moving in with him. “You’re a grown woman, Emma. It’s time you started living on your own,” he had said to me countless times, repeating the same argument over and over. The thing is, I have never lived alone. I have always been surrounded by people, and I don’

    JUDITH'S POVIf I had known Emma would come to my place, I wouldn’t have invited Daniel and Simeon over. The plan was simple: to enjoy myself and have a little fun with the two of them. Threesome. But, as always, Emma managed to ruin everything. I even regretted telling her that Daniel would be coming over— it felt like I had handed her a map to sabotage me. Even Simeon didn’t know Daniel would be there, but I was determined to make the most of the night. And yes, I meant every word when I warned Daniel that I would spoil him in front of Emma. I genuinely appreciated how seriously he took it.Then Emma showed up, and chaos immediately followed.“What have you done?” Simeon snapped at me the moment he and Daniel stepped back inside.“Done as in what?” I asked, feigning ignorance, trying to appear clueless about his accusation.“Why do I have this strong feeling that you planned all of this?” Daniel asked, his tone sharp and accusing.“I didn’t plan anything! I just wanted to have fun.

    EMMA'S POVIt had been four long days since the incident at Judith's house, and I was still struggling to figure out what it all meant. The questions kept swirling in my mind, refusing to settle. Sure, I wasn’t supposed to be there, but Judith had explained herself. According to her, Simeon was only there for work and to check on her health. Apparently, when I told Judith to take a week off because of the Tex have given her. I then informed Simeon— her boss— that she was sick. That explained why he had shown up. Yet, even with her explanation, it still didn’t sit right with me. Something about the whole situation felt... off.Maybe I had judged the situation too quickly. After all, I hadn’t even achieved what I wanted from everything I’d done so far. I wasn’t sure if Daniel had changed or not, and Judith, the only person who could help me figure it out, was someone I wasn’t exactly treating well at the moment.

    EMMA'S POVAfter a long night of replaying Veronica’s cryptic words— "I’ll do to you what I did to Judith"— I couldn’t even tell when sleep finally claimed me. Her chilling voice kept echoing in my mind, twisting my thoughts into knots. Every time I closed my eyes, her words seemed to grow louder, making it impossible to escape the nagging sense of unease they brought. Despite my efforts to stay awake, exhaustion eventually took over, and I drifted off into an uneasy slumber.The next thing I heard was a loud, cheerful shout that startled me from sleep."Happy birthday!" Aunt Grace's voice rang through the room, so loud and filled with excitement that it jolted me awake. My eyes fluttered open just in time to see her standing by my bed, grinning mischievously. Before I could even process what was happening, a cold splash of water hit me, soaking both me and my bed."Aunt Grace!" I squealed, shivering and staring at her in disbelief. She burst out laughing, clutching her sides as if sh

I don’t make empty threats, and I don’t say things I don’t mean. I had just returned from a business trip, fully ready to reclaim what was mine from those who dared to take it away from me. The very thought of anyone crossing me boiled my blood. And yet, when I was till at the business trip, Emma had the audacity to call me and ask the most ridiculous question imaginable.She asked, “Who would you choose if you had to pick between Simeon and Daniel?”Can you believe that? What kind of question is that? And why would Emma, of all people, expect me to answer such nonsense? The nerve of that woman is something I’ll never understand. Her question wasn’t just absurd; it was insulting. It only confirmed what I already knew about her: she has no boundaries whatsoever. She thinks she can say and do whatever she pleases without consequences. But Emma was only

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 61: BETRAYAL AND POISON

    SIMEON'S POV I always thought Daniel believed I had forgotten how he once sent an assassin after me. But he was wrong. I hadn’t forgotten, not for a second. I had only chosen not to act on it— at least, not yet. My decision to hold back was for three specific reasons. The first reason was Emma. She meant a great deal to me, and I couldn’t bear the thought of dragging her into unnecessary chaos or putting her in harm’s way. Emma was the kind of person who deserved peace, not the drama and danger that came with my life. The second reason was my reputation. I couldn’t afford another scandal, especially one that could destroy my already fragile public image. A single misstep could ruin me, and I wasn’t ready to let that happen. The third reason? Timing. I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike back at Daniel— when it would hurt him the most. But then things got more complicated. Emma found both Daniel and me at Judith’s house. Her expression was a mix of shock, anger, and con

    After that night, everything changed. I could feel it the moment I walked into the FBI headquarters. The looks on their faces, the whispers, the way they avoided meeting my eyes—all signs that they had lost faith in me. And I couldn’t blame them. I had one job: to deliver Damon, and I failed.That night, the building was surrounded. I had planned everything perfectly. Agents were stationed at every exit, waiting for my command. We were so close. I could practically taste victory. But, Damon found out who I am. And till now am still wondering how he did.I thought about the way he looked at me last night, the pain in his eyes. I had never seen him like that before.
