Chapter 103: THE SYSTEM IS A JOKE (AND SO ARE WE)

SOMEONE'S POV

I should have known the system would fail us. It was foolish to believe in justice, to think that the law would do what was right. From the moment I saw the news, my stomach twisted into knots. Rose and Judith had been released. Just like that. No consequences. No real punishment. It was as if everything they did meant nothing.

I could barely believe my eyes when I read the headlines. It felt like a sick joke. How could the police let them walk free? After everything? After what they did? Attempted rape. Assault. Threats. All of it. And yet, here they were, roaming the streets like innocent women. As if they hadn't nearly destroyed Emma's life.

Letting them go was the worst mistake Daniel and I ever made. We should have stopped them when we had the chance. We should have used our money, our influence, whatever it took to keep them behind bars. If we had been ruthless, if we had played dirty, we could have made sure they rotted in jail for the rest of their lives. But we

    ROSE'S POVI never thought Marcus would betray me. Not in a million years. But there I was— bleeding, bruised, and barely hanging on— while he stood over me, his face twisted in something close to regret. But regret wasn’t going to change anything. It wasn’t going to take back what he did. It wasn’t going to stop the pain that spread through my body like fire. And it definitely wasn’t going to erase the betrayal that cut deeper than any knife ever could.I had trusted him. I had fought beside him. I had shared my victories and losses with him. Yet, here I was, lying on the cold, hard floor, struggling to stay conscious, while he towered over me, making his choice.A choice that sealed his fate.Daniel had painted my name red in the underworld. A high price— one million dollars— was now on my head. That kind of money? It was life- changing for most people. It was enough to make even the most loyal friend think twice. Anyone who brought me to Daniel would be set for life. And Marcus? Ma

    DANIEL'S POVI knew exactly what Rose was trying to do when she revealed the secret about how Simeon became rich. Yes, I was shocked, but I didn’t show it. I had learned long ago never to let my emotions betray me. Rose was smart— too smart for her own good. She wanted to use me against Simeon, make us fight while she achieved whatever twisted goal she had in mind. But she underestimated me.I wasn’t a fool, and I wasn’t about to let her manipulate me like that. I had been taught well, trained to see through deception. And if Rose thought she could pull me into her game, she was dead wrong. Still, I had to admit, she was impressive. Escaping from a bunch of men at the restaurant? That wasn’t something just any woman could do. I won’t lie— her ability to slip through my fingers that day stung. I had set everything in place, and yet, she still managed to escape.But I wasn’t worried. One day is for the thief, and another is for the owner. Rose had done too much damage, especially to Emm

Everything I worked so hard to build, everything I poured my time, effort, and energy into, is falling apart right before my eyes. It feels like I am watching my entire world crumble, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. My company, Pixel Forge Studios, which I built from the ground up, is almost gone. The once- thriving business that I dedicated years of my life to is now on the brink of collapse. I have lost almost every single case filed against my company in court. The losses keep piling up, and no matter how much I try to fight back, it feels like I am always on the losing end. The money I once had is disappearing fast, and before I know it, I’ll be completely broke. Soon, I’ll be drowning in debt, unable to pull myself out of this bottomless pit.

His excitement was so obvious that it made my heart sink. I already knew what he was going to ask before he even opened his mouth.“Any good news?” he asked, reaching for my hand and leading me to sit beside him on the couch.I hesitated, my mind racing with thoughts. How was I supposed to tell him what had happened? How could I explain that the only way L&B Lawsuit would help me was if I agreed to break up with him after we won the case? The thought alone made my stomach twist painfully. I looked at Jason, at the happiness in his eyes, and I couldn’t bring myself to say it. The words felt too heavy, too cruel.So, I stayed silent. It felt like the safest option in that moment.I knew Jason. If I told him the truth, he would agree to the contract without hesitation. He would do anything to help me, even

    JASON'S POVI sat across from Emma at the dining table, watching her as she slowly moved her fork around the plate, pushing her food from one side to the other. She hadn’t taken a single bite. Not even a small one. Her eyes were distant, unfocused, as if she wasn’t really here with me but lost in some other place, trapped in thoughts I couldn’t reach. I had noticed her unusual behavior since she returned yesterday, but I had hoped she would open up on her own. Now, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. Something was clearly wrong.“You haven’t touched your food, Emma,” I said softly, trying not to sound too pushy. “Is there a problem? Something on your mind?” I wanted her to feel safe enough to talk to me.She nodded slowly, almost absentmindedly, then forced a small, strained smile. “No… no problem,” she said, but her voice betrayed her. It was shaky, uncertain, like she was struggling to keep herself together.She then started stabbing at her food with her fork, her movements sharp and tens

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 109: WE WERE THE DEMONS IN DISGUISE

    DANIEL'S POV I have never truly believed in the existence of the devil. People talk about him as if he is some supernatural being, lurking in the shadows, whispering temptations into people's ears, pushing them toward wrongdoing. They speak of him as though he is an unseen force, a dark entity with horns and a tail, manipulating human desires and leading people astray. But to me, that has always sounded like nothing more than a fairy tale— a story created to comfort weak minds, a convenient excuse that allows people to shift the blame for their own wickedness. It is easier to believe in an external force, a malevolent presence pulling the strings, than to accept the truth: evil is born within us. It is a part of human nature.In my eyes, a person who commits evil acts is the devil himself. There is no outside force, no mysterious entity whispering in their ears, no dark power forcing their hand. The devil is simply the name we give to the worst parts of human nature— the greed, the c

    EMMA'S POVI woke up in the middle of the night feeling restless. A strange discomfort settled in my chest, making it hard to go back to sleep. The room was mostly dark, except for the dim glow of the bedside lamp, casting long shadows on the walls. I shifted to my side, instinctively reaching out for Jason, expecting to feel his warmth beside me. But my hand touched nothing but cold, empty sheets. My breath hitched, and a sudden sense of unease crawled up my spine.Maybe he couldn’t sleep and went to the living room to watch a movie. Jason had a habit of doing that when his mind was too active at night. He would wrap himself in a blanket, sit on the couch, and get lost in one of his favorite action films. The thought calmed me a little. I pulled the covers off and slid out of bed, my bare feet meeting the cool floor. With a soft sigh, I made my way to the restroom.After washing my hands, I walked toward the living room, hoping to find him sitting there, staring at the screen with th

    JUDITH'S POVI hadn’t heard from Rose in weeks. At first, I didn’t think much of it. Maybe she was just busy. People got busy all the time, right? But then, as the days passed, I started to wonder. The silence stretched longer than usual. No calls. No texts. Nothing. It wasn’t like her. Rose always had something to say. Even when I didn’t want to listen, she would still find a way to make her presence known.Now, there was only silence.I kept telling myself not to overthink it. She was probably just caught up in something. Maybe she had found a new distraction, a new adventure, or even a new person to entertain her. That was Rose, after all. She was unpredictable, always chasing something exciting. But then I remembered what she told me— there was a huge amount of money for anyone who found her. A life- changing reward. Enough to make anyone turn on her.Maybe someone already had. Maybe Rose had finally been found.That thought settled in my chest like a heavy weight, making it hard

I asked her as I got to the garden.“Now, you can't even greet your own mother and you walked in here rudely and accused me of drugging you”.“If you didn't drug me, then who did? You were the one that arranged a blind date for me”.“What evidence do you have to prove that I drugged you?”.I was speechless at her question. And the way she spoke so calmly it seems she is innocent of the whole thing.“I don't have any evidence yet, but I will definitely get to the bottom of this”. I said to her and tried to walk out but she stopped me. “I want you to go to the office, there is urgent work that needs your attention. I will help you investigate who drugged you. But if you have

I played the game till 4:00am this morning”. Her eyes widened at my words and I smiled shyly.“Mum, how are you? Do you feel better today?”. I asked my mum who was playing a game on her phone. “Yes, my dear. I feel so Much better today”. She said with a smile on her face. “I have already met the doctor and he said she would be discharged home this morning”. Big sis fiancé said with a calm voice.

Where was I? My eyes observed the room until it met a lady sitting on the bed while sobbing. I didn't recognize her at all.“Lady, what's going on here? Why are we both in this room? How did I get here?”. “Are you pretending not to know what happened last night?”. She asked with a furious facial expression. “I am clueless right now. Please explain to me what happened?”.“You forced yourself on me yesterday because you were drugged. And it's my first time. You took my pride away”.

She said in a panicked voice.I wanted to ignore her and tell her that I won't help him because he betrayed me.But I thought of it again and decided to help, not for Daniel's sake but for the sake of his mother.“What can I do in this situation ma'am?”. “He needs his inhaler. This is an expensive inhaler and this only works for him. I would have gone there myself but my daughter is in labour right now and I need to be here for her”.“Alright I will give him the inhaler”.

And I want you to find out who this person is as well because he is also a threat”.What is Simeon up to now? And who did he kill? I hid myself so that he wouldn't know that I had been eavesdropping on his conversation. I knocked by the time I noticed that he was done with the call and he asked me to come in.“What's up man?” I asked with a mocking smile on my face.“It's been bad. Veronica wants to ruin my life but I won't let her do so”. He complained with gritted teeth.“That's why I didn't fight much for the baby because I knew that Veronica would be an issue in my life.

    DANIEL'S POVWhen I turned around, I saw someone I never expected to see, and my heart skipped a beat. What was she doing here, of all places?"Mum?" I blurted out in shock, my grip loosening on the silly girl’s hand. The moment I let go, she clung to me even tighter, wrapping her legs securely around my waist as if her life depended on it."Can we leave the pool now? I'm scared," she whispered softly into my ear, her voice trembling slightly.Without hesitation, I lifted her out of the pool, holding her close. My mother stood nearby, her arms folded, her expression one of pure disgust as she watched us."I want to see you inside immediately," she ordered, her voice sharp and filled with anger. Then, without waiting for a response, she spun around and stormed off, her heels clicking furiously against the floor.Just as I was about to follow, the silly girl in my arms started sneezing uncontrollably. Worried, I quickly reached for a towel hanging on the pool railing and wrapped it arou

Though she didn’t say anything, I could sense it," Rose informed me."Why didn't I notice this when she was with me?""She was fine when she was with you, but after you left, she came asking for you. She said she needed your help with something.""Why didn't you call me and tell me about it?" I got mad at Rose."Master, you said we shouldn't disturb you when you're at work.
