At first, she thinks it's just a misunderstanding, but then she catches them doing something very wrong in their own bedroom. Emma is stuck between two choices: should she protect Daniel's reputation, which could be ruined if they get divorced, or should she move on with her new lover, Simeon?

View MoreSIMEON’S POVThis can't be true, right? How did they find out that I was the one who killed Nena?There must be some kind of misunderstanding. That security guard couldn’t have possibly identified me—I made sure of that. I was careful. Too careful. There was no way he could have linked me to the crime.My mind raced as I sped toward the hospital. I needed to figure out what loophole I had left behind—what tiny, insignificant detail I had overlooked that led Emma to suspect me. She wouldn’t have called me otherwise. No, she must have something—some shred of evidence that pointed in my direction.When I arrived, the atmosphere was tense. Authorities, doctors, and nurses crowded outside the emergency room, speaking in hushed voices. Their worried expressions only added to my unease. I parked my car and stepped out, composing myself before walking in with my usual air of confidence.Emma spotted me instantly. She was standing with Jason, who was being interrogated. The moment her eyes loc
VERONICA’S POVAfter 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
EMMA’S POVMy heart pounded as I sped toward the airport, gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. I had to stop Jason. I couldn’t let him leave.Tears blurred my vision as I repeatedly dialed his number, hoping—praying—that he would pick up. But each time, the call went straight to voicemail. His phone was unreachable.Panic settled deep within my chest, making it hard to breathe. I had been so cruel to him, so quick to believe lies instead of trusting the man who had given me nothing but love. How could I have been so foolish? How could I have doubted Jason when he had never given me a reason to?I wiped the tears streaming down my cheeks, shaking my head in self-loathing. If only I could turn back time, I would never have made such a terrible mistake. If Jason could find it in his heart to forgive me, I would spend the rest of my life proving to him that I would never doubt him again.The moment I arrived at the airport, I jumped out of the car and rush
SIMEON'S POV What the hell is wrong with the man I hired for such a simple job? He was supposed to take care of everything swiftly, yet he allowed both Lily and Nena to get caught. I had given him clear instructions—shoot her on sight and ensure she was eliminated completely. And yet, here she is, still clinging to life in a hospital bed. The worst part? Someone managed to capture Lily and remove the implanted bomb I had used to control her. Whoever did this is highly skilled, and that complicates things for me. But it doesn’t matter. I can still fix this. I need to get to the hospital immediately and finish what that incompetent fool failed to do. As for Lily, I will deal with her later. She may no longer have the bomb implanted in her, but I still have her greatest weakness—her son. No matter how much she fights, I still hold the ultimate leverage. --- I arrived at the hospital, driving straight to the address I had been given. As I approached the entrance, the security guar
EMMA'S POV: I drove to the location that had been sent to me. As I neared the destination, I tried calling the person who had sent the message, but the number was unavailable. The map on my phone directed me to an abandoned building. A sinking feeling settled in my chest. Was this really a good idea? I hesitated, gripping the steering wheel tightly. This place didn’t look safe at all. The street was eerily quiet, the building standing tall like a forgotten relic. I think it was a bad idea to come here without protection. The realization hit me hard. What if this is a trap? A chill ran down my spine. The windows of the building were shattered, and graffiti covered the walls. It was the kind of place where bad things happened in movies. Emma, when will you learn not to trust people so easily? My heart pounded in my chest. What have I really gotten myself into? The uneasiness growing in my gut screamed at me to turn back. It wasn’t too late. I could still leave. I could just
VERONICA'S POV"Hello, I’m already on my way to the hospital. Wait for me there."The moment I walked out of Emma's house, Daniel called me. His voice carried a mix of urgency and irritation, and I could tell he was eager to know the results of the paternity test.I smirked. If everything went according to my plan, I would be the happiest woman alive.As for Emma, the trouble she was facing now would keep her occupied long enough for me to execute my next move.I pulled out my phone and quickly dialed Simeon’s number. He needed to be at the hospital too. It was only right that he witnessed the big reveal firsthand.Honestly, I didn’t care which one of them turned out to be the father. Both Daniel and Simeon were rich—filthy rich—so whoever ended up responsible for my baby wouldn’t make much of a difference to me. Either way, I was set for life.Fifteen minutes later, I arrived at the hospital and took a deep breath before stepping inside. This was it. The moment of truth.The automati
EMMA’S POV:"Emma, thank goodness you're finally awake! You've been out for hours," Veronica exclaimed, relief evident in her voice.I could barely process her words. My head felt like it had been run over by a truck. The pounding pain made it impossible to even tilt my head.I attempted to sit up, but the moment I did, the room spun wildly around me."Are you okay?" Veronica asked, noticing my strained expression."I'm having a severe headache… more like a migraine," I muttered."It's a hangover. Just relax, you'll be fine," she assured me."Hangover?" I frowned. "What happened to me, Vee?""Not now, Emma. Let me get you some coffee— it'll help sober you up a little."As Veronica stood to get the coffee, I forced myself to sit up, leaning back against the headboard for support. The throbbing in my skull intensified."Shit!" I cussed, pressing my fingers against my temples in frustration."Here, Emma, have a sip. It’s hot, so be careful."I took the cup from her and sipped cautiously,
JASON'S POV We finally arrived at the basement where Lucas had restrained the woman. This had to be Nena— the same woman who had accused me of making her barren. As soon as she saw me, a smug smirk curled on her lips. Her hands and legs were bound tightly to a chair, and a thick plaster sealed her mouth shut. “Start talking,” I ordered, my voice calm, though inside, I was anything but. “Lucas, take the plaster off her mouth.” Lucas did as instructed, peeling away the adhesive, and Nena let out a slow exhale, her eyes filled with defiance. “What makes you think I’ll just spill everything?” she challenged, her determination evident. I shook my head, smirking in a way she wouldn’t understand. If only she knew what I had in store for her. “I’ll ask again,” I said, my tone sharper now. “Who sent you to ruin my wedding, and why?” Her triumphant smile widened. “Before I took this job, I already gave a statement to the authorities. If I go missing for two days, they’ll come looking. A
JASON'S POVI stood at the altar, helpless, unable to convince Emma that I wasn’t guilty of the accusations thrown at me.The evidence those women presented was damning—so well-crafted that even I couldn’t refute it. But I wasn’t about to give up. No, I would chase Emma down if I had to, and I would get to the bottom of this. Someone had set me up, and I intended to find out who.I hurried after her, following at a safe distance to see where she was heading. The last thing I wanted was for her to do something reckless in her pain.And where did she end up? A bar.Watching her drown her sorrows in alcohol sent a stabbing pain through my chest. It hurt more than I could describe—seeing the woman I love in so much pain because of me.For now, my hands were tied. She despised me, even in her drunken state.I was caught off guard when she suddenly grabbed my collar as I fastened her seatbelt in the car. Before I could react, she kissed me.It was so sudden that it took my breath away. If s
EMMA'S POVI walked into Daniel’s office building with excitement bubbling inside me. Today was his birthday, and I had spent weeks planning the perfect surprise for him. I could already picture his face lighting up when he saw the box in my hand—his favorite cake—and the gift I had carefully picked out for him. I couldn’t wait to see his smile, to celebrate the man I loved so much.I stepped off the elevator and walked down the hallway to his office. The closer I got, the more I imagined how the day would unfold. It would be just the two of us, laughing together, sharing a quiet moment. It was supposed to be perfect.But then, I rounded the corner.I froze.Through the glass of the office door, I saw them. Daniel was sitting there, relaxed, smiling at someone. And that someone wasn’t me. It was Veronica—his colleague, someone I’d heard of but never really paid attention to. They were sitting close to each other, their laughter blending together, and Veronica’s hand was resting casuall...
