Chapter 25- A Night Without Rest

Author: Professor Smith
last update publish date: 2026-03-06 20:53:58

(Alex’s POV)

After leaving Ariana to rest in my sister’s house, my mind refused to slow down.

Too many things were happening at once.

Lucas and Vanessa’s voices still echoed in my head. The cold way they spoke about removing me from their path made it clear that they were not just making empty threats.

They were serious.

And that meant I had to be careful with every step I took.

I pulled out my phone and immediately placed a call to my lawyer. He had been someone I trusted for years—calm, exper

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 103- The Silence After the Truth

    (Daniel’s POV)By the time I got home, the night had already settled in—but it didn’t feel calm.It felt watchful.Like the darkness wasn’t just there to cover the city… but to hide something inside it.I stood at the gate for a moment longer than necessary, keys in my hand, my mind still stuck at the man’s house.Locked door.Quiet compound.A life ended too cleanly.Too quickly.Too conveniently.I finally pushed the gate open and stepped in. The familiar sound should have grounded me, should have reminded me that this was my space—safe, controlled, mine.But tonight?It didn’t feel like that.I locked the door behind me and walked slowly into the living room, dropping my keys on the table. The sound echoed slightly, louder than it should have been.Or maybe…Everything just felt louder because my mind refused to settle.I ran my hand over my face and exhaled deeply.After we left the man’s place, my mind had been filled with questions—questions I couldn’t answer, questions that ref

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 102- The Silence They Left Behind

    (Daniel’s POV)Hope is dangerous.Not because it lies…But because it waits until the exact moment you begin to rely on it—and then it disappears.I didn’t sleep.Not really.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face—not clearly, not fully—but enough to remember what his voice sounded like when he confessed.Uneasy. Shaking. Careful.A man who knew he had already crossed a line… and couldn’t walk back from it.That kind of man doesn’t disappear.That kind of man is removed.Alex was already outside when I stepped out that morning.Leaning against the car. Arms folded. Eyes sharp.Waiting.He didn’t ask if I slept.I didn’t ask him either.“Let’s go,” he said.I nodded.The drive felt longer than it should have.Not because of traffic.Because of expectation.Because somewhere in both our minds, we were holding onto one thing—He’s still there.Still alive.Still reachable.Still useful.Still… hope.“He’ll talk when we see him,” Alex said suddenly, eyes fixed on the road.It wasn’t

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 101 - The Next Step

    (Daniel’s POV)I picked up my phone and called Alex.There was no hesitation this time. No second-guessing. The pieces were already moving, and the only thing left was to make sure we were all moving in the same direction.He answered almost immediately.“Alex… can we meet at Ariana’s place tomorrow? Same time.”A short pause.Then—“Yes. I’ll be there.”That was it. No extra questions. No unnecessary discussion. Just understanding.We both knew what this was now.A team effort.Not scattered suspicion anymore. Not separate investigations running in silence. We were too deep for that.If we were going to stop Benson and Lucas… it had to be coordinated.I lowered the phone slowly, my thoughts already shifting ahead of the conversation that would happen tomorrow.I needed them to understand everything. Not pieces. Not fragments. The full picture.Because once they saw it clearly…There would be no turning back.It had been a while since I last saw Ariana in person.Too long, if I was be

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 100- The Weight of proof

    (Daniel’s POV)There’s a difference between suspicion… and certainty. Suspicion keeps you restless. It makes you question shadows, doubt silence, and second-guess even the things right in front of you. But certainty? Certainty is heavier. It doesn’t ask questions—it answers them. And tonight… I had answers.I sat still, unmoving, everything spread out in front of me like a map of something dark and carefully hidden. Files, audio recordings, transaction trails, timelines. Individually, they were troubling. Together? They were undeniable.Benson and Lucas weren’t just dangerous men. They were precise. Calculated. The kind of men who didn’t react to situations… they created them.My eyes dropped to the first file again—Ariana’s parents. The “accident.” That word sat there like a lie pretending to be truth. Because nothing about it felt like an accident anymore.I flipped past the official report, past the polished conclusions, and landed on what actually mattered. The tanker driver. At f

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 99- The Silence After Truth

    (Daniel’s POV)There are moments when the truth doesn’t arrive like a shock.It settles.Quietly.Slowly.And once it does… it refuses to leave.This was one of those moments.I sat there, unmoving, the weight of what Rose uncovered pressing down in a way that wasn’t loud—but was impossible to ignore. The room was still, the kind of stillness that makes even your own breathing feel out of place.I had gone through everything already.More than once.Not because I didn’t understand it the first time—But because I needed to be sure there wasn’t another explanation.There wasn’t.My fingers rested against the edge of the table, tapping once… then stopping completely. My gaze remained fixed on nothing in particular, but my mind was sharp—too sharp.Rose didn’t just bring information.She brought clarity.And clarity… has a way of changing everything.I exhaled slowly.“Benson…”Saying his name now felt different.Before, there was uncertainty.A line between suspicion and assumption.Now

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 98- What He Left Behind

    (Rose’s POV)There are gifts that make you feel seen.And there are gifts that make you feel studied.The difference is not always immediate.Sometimes it only becomes clear after the person has already left.—I didn’t rush.That was the first mistake people make around men like Benson—assuming speed is power.It isn’t.Control is.So I moved slowly.Deliberately.As he stood there watching me open the box.Not eager.Not curious.Just… observant.Like he already knew what was inside.Like my reaction had been anticipated before it even existed.The necklace rested in my palm.Thin chain. Simple design.Too simple for someone like him.That was the first signal.Nothing from Benson is ever “just simple.”“It suits you,” he said.Not a compliment.An assessment.I held it lightly between my fingers.“It’s beautiful.”A truth.And that truth bothered me more than I expected.Because beauty lowers resistance.And Benson knows that.—“Try it on.”Soft voice.No pressure in tone.Which i

    My heart was still racing when the door finally fell silent.The knock had stopped.But the fear didn’t.Sweat soaked my clothes as I sat frozen on the couch, my body trembling, my mind spiraling. Every shadow felt alive. Every sound felt dangerous. My chest felt tight, as though the walls themselv
