(Alex’s POV)

Sleep refused to come that night.

I lay awake, staring into the darkness, replaying everything that had happened. It felt unreal—like I was trapped inside a nightmare I couldn’t wake from. Ariana’s words echoed in my mind, and the more I thought about them, the more they began to feel like prophecy.

Vanessa with a secret phone.

Late-night calls.

Documents.

Whispers.

Lies.

Something was wrong.

Deeply wrong.

My heart felt heavy, as though I was living in danger without knowing exactl

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 80- The Quiet Confession

    (Rose’s POV)The party had a rhythm—subtle, controlled, intentional.Nothing about it was accidental.The music was low, almost like a whisper threading through the air, designed not to dominate but to enhance. Conversations flowed easily, glasses touched with quiet elegance, and laughter rose in measured intervals—never too loud, never careless.This wasn’t a place for noise.It was a place for people who understood presence.The crowd was small, but that was the point. No unnecessary faces. No outsiders. Everyone here belonged—or had earned the right to be seen.And money…Money didn’t scream here.It moved quietly.Effortlessly.In the quality of wine. In the confidence of the guests. In the way no one checked prices, no one hesitated.This wasn’t wealth trying to impress.This was wealth that already knew its value.I observed.That was my strength.Lucas stood a few steps away from Benson. They weren’t engaged in constant conversation, but they didn’t need to be. There was an uns

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 79- The Invitation

    (Rose’s POV)It had been three occasions.Just three.Yet, somehow, that was all it took for Benson to become familiar—no longer just a name tied to a photograph, no longer a distant figure I studied from afar. He had shape now. Presence. A voice I could recognize even before he finished saying my name.Before, he had been an assignment.Now… he was becoming something more layered.Not personal. Not yet.But closer.And that closeness was exactly what I needed.I had been careful from the beginning. Every step measured. Every word calculated. Getting close to a man like Benson wasn’t something you rushed—not if you wanted real access. Not if you wanted truth.Trust first.Then everything else.We had met once in a formal setting—a meeting where conversations were structured, guarded, and full of half-meanings. The other two times had been different. Relaxation spots. Quiet places where the atmosphere encouraged ease, where people spoke more freely without realizing how much they revea

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 78- Measured Distance

    (Rose’s POV)Benson didn’t call this time.He sent a message.Simple.Direct.No unnecessary words.Location. 8 PM.A few seconds later, another message followed—An address.Different from the restaurant we had met at before.That alone told me something.Benson didn’t repeat patterns.He changed variables.And tonight… the setting was one of them.I stared at the address for a moment, my thoughts already aligning. A new location meant a new environment—and with someone like Benson, environment was never random.It was strategy.I didn’t respond immediately.There was no need.He wasn’t asking.He was informing.And somehow… I understood that.I locked my phone and set it aside, my expression calm, my mind already preparing.Tonight wouldn’t just be a continuation.It would be an adjustment.⸻The moment I stepped into the place, I understood something immediately—Benson didn’t just choose locations.He curated them.It was a wine lounge.Quiet.Refined.Expensive—but not loud about

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 77- What Was Left Unsaid

    (Rose’s POV)Benson left.Just like that.One call, a few quiet words, and whatever held his attention in that moment had been strong enough to pull him away—from me, from the conversation, from control.I didn’t move immediately after he walked out.I stayed seated for a few minutes, my fingers resting lightly on the stem of the wine glass, my expression calm, almost indifferent to anyone who might have been watching. But inside, my thoughts were anything but still.I replayed everything.The call he made before I approached him.The words I overheard.Disobedience… investigation… consequences.And then the second call.The one that changed everything.I exhaled slowly, standing up at last and picking up my bag. There was no need to rush. No need to follow. That would be reckless—and this was not a game for reckless moves.Patience.That was the foundation of everything.I walked out of the restaurant with the same composed energy I had walked in with, my heels echoing softly against

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 76- A Calculated Meeting

    (Rose’s POV)I dressed with intention.Not for attention alone—but for effect.Every choice I made in front of the mirror carried purpose. The outfit, the accessories, the posture I practiced even in stillness… all of it was deliberate. I needed to be noticed, yes—but more importantly, I needed to be remembered. There was a difference.Men, especially men like Benson, rarely overlooked what appealed to their senses. Attraction had a way of lowering guard, of creating openings where logic would normally stand firm. And tonight, I intended to use that.Still, beneath the surface of it all, the mission remained clear.Control every step.Reveal nothing unnecessary.Raise no suspicion.I had spent hours preparing—not just my appearance, but my story. The version of myself I had presented to Benson—a business consultant—was no longer just a claim. I had built it into something believable, something I could defend under pressure. Every possible question he might ask, I had already rehearsed

  • UNFAITHFUL UNTILL THE END    Chapter 75- The Call

    (Rose’s POV)The morning after the meeting, I returned to my office with a clear sense of direction. The encounter with Benson had been brief, measured, and deliberate, but it left me with more questions than answers—and that was exactly what I wanted. Every glance, every subtle gesture he had made carried meaning. Observing him was no longer theoretical. Now, it was real.I placed my bag down and immediately pulled out the file Daniel had given me. Every document, every note, every photograph suddenly felt heavier than its physical weight. Benson, Patrick, and his wife—their lives intertwined in ways that demanded careful scrutiny. He was meticulous, yes, but I had underestimated how aware he was of his own image, the way he presented himself, and the subtle control he wielded without needing to assert it overtly. Every detail in the file was a potential key, a thread that could lead me closer to understanding him.Benson had charisma—but it was the kind that concealed intelligence,

    (Alex’s POV)After our discussion, Vanessa quietly went upstairs.Her movements were slow, almost lifeless. From the way she climbed the staircase, anyone could easily tell that the weight on her heart was far heavier than anything she could carry in her hands.A few minutes later, I began to hear
