Chapter 41- The Reason I Let Her Stay

last update 公開日: 2026-03-16 17:27:29

(Alex’s POV)

Ariana’s question caught me off guard.

“Do you want to take Vanessa back?”

For a few seconds, I didn’t respond.

I just looked at her.

I could see the seriousness in her eyes. She wasn’t asking out of jealousy or anger. She genuinely wanted to understand why Vanessa was still in my house after everything that had happened.

I took a slow breath.

“Ariana,” I began, my voice calm but firm, “there’s an important reason why Vanessa is still staying with me.”

She didn’t interrupt me.

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 60-Two Choices,One Outcome

    Chapter 60(Daniel’s POV)As I got home that day, I couldn’t ignore the weight of what I had uncovered.It wasn’t easy getting through everything, but one thing gave me a sense of satisfaction—I had finally obtained something meaningful.Something concrete.Something that connected the dots.I closed the door behind me and walked straight to my table without wasting time.From my bag, I brought out my recorder.This was the most important piece of evidence I had at the moment.I placed it on the table, sat down, and pressed play.Immediately, Benson’s voice filled the room… followed by Patrick’s wife.I leaned forward slightly, focusing carefully as the conversation replayed.Her voice came first.Tense.Uneasy.“…Daniel has started investigating Patrick’s death…”I paused for a brief moment.That line alone carried weight.So she wasn’t talking about Patrick investigating anything.She was talking about me.Daniel.The investigation I had been carrying out had already reached her—and

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 59- When Silence Breaks

    (Daniel’s POV)Sleep didn’t come.Not because I wasn’t tired—But because my mind refused to slow down.Everything kept replaying in fragments that refused to settle.Benson entering Patrick’s house.Patrick’s wife opening the gate without hesitation.Lucas appearing at the bar.And the repeated return to that same house… again and again.A pattern.Not random.Not coincidental.Deliberate.That realization alone had changed something inside me.Because patterns are not accidental.They are maintained.Protected.And sometimes…Hidden.I lay still in the darkness, staring into nothing.Then I whispered to myself,“Watching is no longer enough.”The words didn’t feel like a thought.They felt like a decision.⸻The next evening, I returned.Same street.Same house.Same quiet environment that looked ordinary to anyone passing by.But I knew better now.Ordinary often hides the most important truths.I parked at a distance, engine off, lights out.My eyes locked on the compound.Still.

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 58- The pattern That Followed

    (Daniel’s POV)After seeing Benson with Patrick’s wife, something inside me shifted.Not assumptions.Not guesses.But suspicion… grounded in observation.I replayed the scene over and over in my head.Benson entering Patrick’s house.Staying for about an hour.Leaving… alongside Patrick’s wife.And then—Their hands.Held together.Naturally.Without hesitation.That was not coincidence.That was familiarity.And familiarity like that… does not form overnight.A series of questions began to form in my mind.What exactly is the relationship between them?When did they meet?Why was Benson comfortable enough to enter that house freely?Why did she welcome him without resistance?Questions.Too many questions.But no answers.Not yet.And I understood something clearly in that moment—If I wanted answers…I had to watch.Not confront.Not assume.But observe.So I made a decision.“I will monitor him,” I said quietly to myself.“Every movement.”Because movements reveal patterns.And pa

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 57- Hands That Shouldn’t Meet

    (Daniel’s POV)From my investigation so far… I had gotten a clue.Not just a clue.A pattern.And once a pattern begins to show itself… it stops being theory.It becomes something real.Something dangerous.Something intentional.I sat in my office, staring at the files spread across my desk. At first glance, they looked like separate cases. Different names. Different dates. Different circumstances.But when you look closer…They begin to align.Two brothers.A business partner.All dead.All during a profit sharing.And after their deaths—The money didn’t stay untouched.It was withdrawn.Clean.Fast.No hesitation.That alone told me one thing.Whoever was behind this wasn’t reacting.They were prepared.I leaned back slowly in my chair, exhaling.“This wasn’t coincidence,” I muttered.“This was planned.”My eyes shifted to another file.A case that had once been labeled and closed without much attention.Arianna’s father.At the time, it was reported as a truck accident.A simple

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 56- Lines That Cannot Be Crossed

    (Daniel’s POV)The office felt different after Lucas left.Not quieter.Heavier.I sat there for a while, my eyes fixed on the door he had just walked through. The image of that bag full of money kept replaying in my mind—not because it tempted me, but because of what it represented.Desperation.Fear.And something bigger than I had imagined.I leaned forward and opened the case file again.Patrick’s name stared back at me from the top page.A dead man… surrounded by too many secrets.I flipped through the pages slowly, my mind now sharper than before. Lucas had just confirmed something without saying it directly—This case was not ordinary.People don’t offer that kind of money unless they are trying to bury something dangerous.Very dangerous.I picked up my pen and began writing down notes.Lucas — Direct involvement.Attempted bribery.Intent: Stop investigation.I paused for a second.Then added another line.Desperate. Afraid. Protecting something.I dropped the pen and leaned

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 55- The Price Of Silence

    (Daniel’s POV)It was a quiet afternoon at the station.The kind of quiet I had learned not to trust.I sat behind my desk, going through the case file again. Papers were spread neatly in front of me—statements, reports, photographs. Every detail mattered. Every line I read only raised more questions.This case had gone beyond routine.Too many inconsistencies.Too many people trying to stay silent.And one name kept coming up in my mind—Lucas.I leaned back slightly, thinking.There was something about him that didn’t sit right with me. The way he spoke. The way he avoided certain questions. The way he always seemed one step ahead.It was not normal.I was about to write down a note when—Knock. Knock.I paused.My eyes moved to the door.I wasn’t expecting anyone.No appointment. No scheduled meeting.Another knock followed.Firm.Controlled.“Come in,” I said.The door opened.And the moment I saw who walked in—I straightened immediately.Lucas.For a brief second, I just looked

    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

    (Ariana’s POV) The pen felt heavier than my entire life. It rested in my trembling fingers, its tip hovering just above the paper, as if waiting for permission to destroy everything I had left. Lucas stood across from me, calm, confident, dressed in patience and lies. “Just sign here,” he said
