My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 12: AN ANGEL OR A SCHEMER?
EMMA'S POV Leaving the house was no longer an option for me. Every time I thought about stepping outside, the weight of people's judgment held me back. The situation between me, Daniel, Simeon, and that husband snatcher Veronica had made me a prisoner in my aunt’s house. The last time I attempted to go out, I regretted it immediately.It happened at the supermarket. I had gone there to buy some foodstuff, thinking it would be a simple errand. The moment I walked in, I could feel the stares. Whispers grew louder, and before long, the comments began.“It’s because of women like you that most men don’t want to get married,” a man sneered as I walked past him. I kept my head high and ignored him, pretending his words didn’t sting.But it didn’t end there. A few aisles later, another man approached me. At first, he seemed uncertain, glancing between me and his phone.“It’s you… wow,” he said, sounding almost impressed. For a moment, I thought he might say something sensible, maybe even ki
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-23My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 13: PUBLIC EYES AND PRIVATE FEARS
EMMA'S POVThe feelings I had for Simeon were no longer something I could ignore. Every text message, every video call, only made me want more. I didn’t just want to see him through a screen or hear his voice over the phone—I wanted him here, beside me. I wanted to feel his presence.This morning, I decided to act on my desire. I sent him my aunt’s house address. For the past week, I’d convinced myself that the only reason he hadn’t come over was that he didn’t know where I lived. After the text message, I finally received reply:"I’m on my way."I couldn’t believe it. He was coming. My heart raced as I paced the living room, nervously glancing at the mirror to make sure I looked okay. When I finally heard the knock on the door, my heart nearly stopped.I opened the door and there he was, standing tall, looking effortlessly handsome. His smile was warm, and his eyes held that familiar kindness that had always drawn me to him.“Hi, Simeon,” I said, squeezing my fists behind my back to
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-23My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 14: THE COST OF DIVORCE
SIMEON'S POVThree days after I bought forty percent of Pixel Forge Studios’ shares, Daniel showed up at my office. I wasn’t surprised; I knew he’d try to get them back. What did surprise me was his approach.He walked in with a confident air, as if he already knew how the conversation would end. I offered him a glass of wine, which he accepted, but his focus wasn’t on the drink.“I’ll pay you twice what you paid for the shares,” he said without hesitation.I leaned back in my chair, keeping my expression neutral. “I’m not interested in the offer,” I replied firmly.He took a sip of the wine, studying me. “What about three times the price?”“Daniel, I’m not interested in your money,” I said, trying to keep my tone civil. “Don’t you get that?”He chuckled softly, placing the glass on my desk. “Why do I have this feeling that this isn’t about business? Is this your way of retaliating for me taking Veronica from you?”The mention of her name made my chest tighten, but I refused to give h
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-24My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 15: WHEN LOVE HURTS
EMMA'S POVWhen my phone rang, I was still half-asleep. My hand fumbled around on the bed until I found it. I didn’t need to check the screen to know who it was; the voice on the other end was enough.“Good morning, dear,” Simeon greeted.With my eyes barely open, I mumbled back, “Good morning.”“Are you still asleep?” he asked, and I finally opened my eyes to check the time. It was 11 a.m.“Nope, I’m awake,” I lied, sitting up and brushing my hair back.“How was your night?” I asked, trying to sound cheerful.“Bad,” he admitted, his tone heavy. “I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened yesterday. The world now thinks I’m secretly involved in drugs.”The pain in his voice hit me hard. “I’m so sorry, Simeon,” I said softly, wishing I could take his pain away. “All this will end soon.”“How? When?” he shot back, frustration lacing his words.I didn’t have a solid answer, but I couldn’t let him lose hope. “Soon,” I said firmly, even though I wasn’t sure myself. “Daniel will pay for h
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-25My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 16: FROM WEALTH TO NOTHING
DANIEL'S POVI was on my laptop, going through some emails when a notification popped up. A new mail. It had been months since I received one on this device, so my curiosity got the better of me. I clicked on it, half-expecting another spam message, but my heart stopped when I saw the content.It was a court summons. Emma was filing for a divorce.“What?” I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.The door burst open, and Veronica rushed in. “What’s up, baby?” she asked, her tone laced with concern.I was still staring at the screen, reading and rereading the message to ensure I wasn’t imagining things.“Daniel, what is going on?” Veronica pressed, moving closer.I finally turned to her, my face flushed with anger and disbelief. “Emma… she’s taking me to court. She wants a divorce!”Veronica’s eyes widened in surprise. “Oh my God,” she whispered. “So, what are you planning to do?”“I don’t know!” I snapped, pacing around the room. “This can’t happen. A divorce would cost me everyth
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-26My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 17: A CRUEL TWIST
EMMA'S POVI couldn’t believe what I had just heard. The judge had declared, with absolute finality, that Daniel had no properties and owed me nothing. Nothing. No properties, no money—nothing to show for years of building a life together."Daniel, one of the richest men in New York City, has no properties? How is that even possible?" I whispered to myself, disbelief coursing through me as I watched him standing before the judge. My mind reeled. What about Trenton Corp? Who owns it? I needed answers, but they weren’t coming fast enough.As the proceedings wrapped up, Veronica approached me with a smug smile. "Thanks for making all of this happen," she said, her tone dripping with mock gratitude. "I will forever be grateful." And just like that, she turned and walked away, leaving me rooted to the spot, stunned.From where I stood, I caught a glimpse of Daniel. He looked… off. There was something in his expression—unhappiness, perhaps regret. It was like something was eating away at hi
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-27My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 18: VERONICA'S GIFT
SIMEON'S POVThis afternoon, I was at one of my companies in Brooklyn, reviewing some reports. It was a busy day, but the thought of Emma possibly visiting had me looking forward to a pleasant break. She mentioned she might stop by, and I couldn’t wait to see her.My secretary entered the office, saying I had a visitor. "Show her in," I said with a smile, already assuming it was Emma. But when the door opened, it wasn’t Emma. It was Veronica.The sight of her froze me in place. I hadn’t seen Veronica in years, not since she walked out of my life, leaving me to pick up the pieces. Yet, here she was, standing in my office like nothing had happened. My mind raced back to our history, the moments we shared, and the pain of her betrayal.“What are you doing here, Veronica?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended.“Hi, Simeon,” she said casually, as if we were old friends catching up. She walked in confidently, smiling in that way she always did when she wanted something. She sat down wi
Huling Na-update : 2024-11-27My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 19: LINES DRAWN IN THE SAND
EMMA'S POVIt had been nearly two weeks since Veronica took over Trenton Corp, and the media wouldn’t stop hounding her with one question: How? Everyone was dying to know how she had pulled it off, but what they didn’t realize was that Veronica had played Daniel like a fiddle, manipulating him into giving her what wasn’t hers.What made things worse was Veronica’s audacity. She’d offered the company to Simeon as a bargaining chip—to lure him back into her web, as if starting over with her could undo all the damage she’d caused. I’d pieced it all together when she had the nerve to confront me, accusing me of being the reason Simeon hadn’t signed the ownership documents.I didn’t want Simeon to sign them, and I made that clear. Trenton Corp wasn’t just another business; it was Daniel’s legacy. His grandparents built that company from the ground up, pouring their sweat and blood into its success. It wasn’t just a corporation; it was history. And now, Veronica, who had no clue what it mea

My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 170: KARMA
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
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 169: SURPRISE VISIT
DANIEL'S POVI came back from the office feeling so tired. I couldn’t concentrate at work; all I thought about was her smile and playful behavior.I came home early because of her. I wanted to see her so badly. I was sure she would lift my mood and make me feel better.I thought of a way to make her come over, and a perfect idea popped into my mind.I called Rose to prepare the same meal she mentioned the day she came here.I also instructed her to call Cherry over once she was done cooking."Master, Miss Cherry was really worried yesterday. 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. That’s why I didn’t bother to call you." She was right. I had actually ins
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 168: PROPOSAL
VERONICA'S POVI felt elated knowing my plans were unfolding exactly as I had envisioned.This morning, I woke up to a message from Simeon, inviting me on a date, saying he had a surprise for me.I wasted no time. I called the best shopping mall for designer clothes. They sent me various options, and after careful selection, I chose the perfect gown, which was delivered promptly.Slipping into the dress, I admired my reflection. It fit like a glove—elegant, sophisticated, and powerful.Tonight, I had my own plans. If Simeon didn’t propose, I would force him to, using the media to my advantage.After getting ready, I took one last look in the mirror. My makeup was flawless, accentuating my beauty. Satisfied, I picked up my phone and dialed my journalist.“Hello… You remember our plan, right?”“Vividly well,” he responded.“Good. Once I give you the signal, you begin. I don't want any mistakes.”“Understood, boss.”I ended the call, flashing myself a victorious smile before stepping out
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 167: NIGHT OF ECSTASY
EMMA'S POVI started imagining how wild this night would be. It would be a great night. I really can't wait for this wild night to begin.He carried me to the bed after we were done bathing. He laid me on the bed and laid half on top of me and began to kiss me sensually.He kissed the nape of my neck and traced the kisses down to my nipples.He cupped my left nipples and began to suck on it. I bit my lower lips in order to prevent myself from moaning. I wrapped my arms around his neck and savoured the moment. I felt so great by what he was doing to me.He caught my right nipples and began to suck on it while he played with my left nipples.This time, I couldn't stop myself from moaning.“Shit! Jason you are so good at this”. I heard him chuckle. “I have just begun my love, you will surely moan louder than this very soon”. I began to anticipate what he would actually do.He parted my legs and traced kisses from my novel to the center of my entrance. My legs tightened immediately hi
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 166: WILD NIGHT
EMMA'S POVWe arrived at the woman's house after a thirty-minute ride. She lived directly across from Daniel’s house.We knocked on the gate, and the security guard opened it.“Madam Susan, where have you been all this while? Your daughter has cried herself into exhaustion,” the security guard exclaimed as soon as he saw the woman we had helped, whom we now knew as Madam Susan.“She needs rest. Where is her room? Let her lie down. And where is her daughter?” I asked.“Please, follow me. I’ll show you her room. Her daughter went out searching for her.”Her daughter must be extremely worried. The security guard led us to a small quarter at the back.The place was unbearably small and suffocatingly hot. How could a mother and daughter possibly live in such a cramped, uncomfortable space? The sight of it irritated me.I helped Madam Susan lie down, then Jason and I stepped outside with the security guard to talk.“Did her daughter mention where she was going to search for her mother?” I a
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 165: STRANGE CONNECTION
EMMA'S POVI paced back and forth in the outpatient department, anxiously waiting for Jason to complete the test he had been asked to undergo.During the investigation, Jason told the detectives that the last thing he remembered was bringing Nena to the hospital, but he couldn't recall where he had picked her up from.So, the detectives suggested running some brain tests to determine if he truly had dementia.It had been an hour since he went in for the brain CT scan, which they called an MRI. I didn’t even know what that meant, but since I wasn’t in the medical field, all that mattered to me was Jason’s well-being.“Hello, madam. The test is done. You can go in and see him now. The result will be available tomorrow,” the radiologist said, handing me the film.“Thank you, sir. Please, which way is it?” I asked, and he directed me to Jason’s room.“Jason, are you okay?” I asked, my voice filled with worry.“Yes, I’m okay. Don’t worry,” he replied with a reassuring smile, patting my hai
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 164: CHERRY
DANIEL'S POVI stood up from the couch, my gaze darkening with irritation as I took slow, deliberate steps toward her.She instinctively took a step back, eyes wide with alarm, her hands slightly raised as if to shield herself. But I didn’t stop. I kept moving forward, closing the distance between us until her foot caught on the edge of the rug. She let out a startled gasp, her body tilting backward, arms flailing in an attempt to regain balance.Before she could crash to the ground and hit her head on the coffee table, I lunged forward and caught her, my arms wrapping around her waist just in time.Our eyes locked.She was so delicate—so fragile. Her soft breath fanned against my neck, and for a brief moment, I forgot my annoyance. The warmth of her body pressed against mine, her features so effortlessly beautiful yet her actions so incredibly foolish.She was like a troublesome pet—one that needed strict training.A light cough from Kelvin shattered the moment. My jaw tightened, and
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 163: NEW NEIGHBOR
DANIEL'S POV:I was feeling incredibly restless that night. My mind wouldn’t stop running wild with thoughts—thoughts I didn’t want to have. What if the child in Veronica’s womb was mine? How would I react?A part of me wanted the baby to be mine, even though I knew he would be raised by a troublesome, insufferable woman. But seeing the chaos she was currently causing for Simeon, I was relieved that the child wasn’t mine. Dealing with her had been exhausting, and I couldn’t imagine a lifetime of it.I tossed and turned in bed, unable to find a comfortable position. My thoughts refused to let me rest. Frustrated, I finally gave up, throwing the covers aside. I needed fresh air. Maybe a walk in the garden would calm my nerves.Grabbing a bottle of whiskey and a glass, I made my way outside. The cool night breeze hit my face, offering a slight sense of relief. I settled on a bench in the garden, poured myself a drink, and took a long sip.As the alcohol burned down my throat, I found mys
My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 162: THE MEDIA FRENZY
SIMEON’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
