EMMA'S POV

If not for the important presentation I had at work today, I would have stayed at home. My mind was in turmoil, and I could barely focus. The email from Judith replayed in my head like a haunting melody. I still couldn’t believe it—Simeon, the man I thought I knew so well, had been sleeping with my secretary, Judith.

The drive to work felt surreal. My thoughts ran wild, imagining when it started and how I never noticed. Was it during late meetings or when I sent her to deliver files to him? The betrayal hit hard, and I could feel tears burning the back of my eyes. I was so distracted that I almost hit the car in front of me. The honk jolted me back to reality, but it didn’t make things better.

Judith’s resignation made it real. She wouldn’t leave a job where she was the third-highest-paid staff unless it was true. But the line in her resignation email struck me the most: “I’m leaving because I can no longer handle the guilt. I can’t stop sleeping with my boss’s boyfriend.”

    DANIEL'S POVI waited an entire day before deciding to approach Veronica. What Emma told me kept ringing in my ears, and I needed answers. Did Veronica truly intend to give me back Trenton Corp, or was she just using me? After all, I had done what she wanted—I had separated Emma and Simeon. It was time to collect what she promised me.When I arrived at her house, the security guards didn’t allow me in. They didn’t even give me a chance to speak before stopping me. It wasn’t until I called Veronica that they finally opened the gate. The bitterness I felt as I stood there was unbearable. I couldn’t help but remember when I used to visit this place often. Back then, these same guards would greet me respectfully, not block my way. But it wasn’t their fault; it was mine. I stupidly trusted Veronica. I handed over a multi-billion-dollar company to her without thinking twice.I waited outside for thirty minutes before Veronica finally stepped out of the house. Thirty minutes! She kept me sta

    EMMA'S POVI wasn’t expecting the kiss from Daniel. It was gentle, soft, and sweet—a fleeting moment of comfort that washed away the pain I had been feeling, even if just briefly. But what caught me completely off guard wasn’t the kiss itself. It was Simeon, standing a few feet away, staring at us. The look on his face was enough to stop my heart—a mixture of disappointment and hurt that I wasn’t prepared to see.As Simeon turned to leave, I couldn’t stop myself. “Simeon! Simeon, wait! It is not what you think,” I called after him, running as fast as my legs would allow. My heart raced, pounding louder than my footsteps.He stopped suddenly and turned around, his eyes blazing with anger. “What I saw was so well-defined,” he said coldly, his voice sharp and accusing.In that moment, I realized how foolish I was. Why was I running after a man who had betrayed me? A man who was sleeping with my secretary? The thought hit me like a slap. “Yeah, well-defined, Simeon. You’re right,” I said,

    DANIEL'S POVAs I drove away from the abandoned building, my mind was filled with mixed emotions. I had successfully stirred more trouble between Emma and Simeon, but it left a bitter taste in my mouth. The satisfaction I thought I’d feel wasn’t there. Instead, there was an emptiness—a nagging thought that perhaps I had taken things too far.Still, I needed answers. Emma’s words lingered in my mind like an echo. I had to confront Veronica and find out the truth about her intentions. If she really planned to hand over Trenton Corp to Simeon, then everything I had done so far was pointless.When I arrived at Veronica’s house, it was about 9pm. The lights were dim, but I could see the faint glow of her cigarette through the window. After being let in by her securities, I found her lounging on the couch, cigarette in hand, smoke curling lazily around her.“You should be sleeping by now. It’s late,” she said casually, blowing out a puff of smoke.“Yeah, well, I have no house to sleep in si

    EMMA'S POVI didn’t even get a chance to scream twice before Simeon’s security guards burst into the house. Their faces were filled with shock as they took in the sight—the blood on the floor and Simeon lying motionless. My hands pressed down on his wound, but it wasn’t helping. The blood kept coming, and I felt utterly helpless."Call 911!" one of the guards shouted.At that moment, I was terrified. Terrified that Simeon might die. My mind wasn’t thinking about who stabbed him or why it happened. All I cared about was keeping him alive.The sound of the ambulance sirens outside brought a brief moment of relief. Finally, help had arrived. I watched as the paramedics rushed in and began working on Simeon. Their hands moved quickly, but my heart still felt heavy with fear. Tears blurred my vision as I watched them lift him onto a stretcher and carry him out.I couldn’t let him go alone. “I’m coming with you,” I said, my voice trembling.They didn’t argue, and I climbed into the ambulanc

    VERONICA'S POVI was already drifting off to sleep when my phone vibrated on the bedside table. At first, I ignored it, not in the mood to deal with anything that late. But then it rang, pulling me out of my half-asleep state. Groaning, I reached for it and checked the screen. It was Daniel.“Check your messages,” he said the moment I picked up, his tone sharp and cold. Before I could respond, he ended the call.Curious and slightly annoyed, I opened my messages. My breath caught in my throat as I stared at the screen. It was a picture—a horrifying picture. Simeon lying on the floor, blood pooling around him. My heart started racing as fear gripped me. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.I quickly dialed Daniel’s number, but he didn’t answer. I tried again, and this time, he picked up.“What?” he barked.“What have you done, Daniel?” I demanded, my voice shaking as I scrambled to dress. “Please tell me this isn’t real.”“It is, Veronica,” he replied, his voice devoid of any emotion.

    EMMA'S POV"Alright, Miss Martinez. You know why you’re here, right?" the interrogator asked, his voice calm yet filled with a hint of intimidation.I leaned back in the cold, metal chair, forcing a small smile to play on my lips. "Nope," I said, feigning ignorance.The man—Peter, as I soon learned—smiled back, but his eyes remained sharp and calculating. "My name is Peter, and I’d really appreciate it if you could make this easy for both of us. I mean, don’t drag this out," he said, tapping his pen on the table.I crossed my legs and readjusted my sitting position. "What do you want from me, Peter?"He leaned forward slightly, his expression hardening. "So, Miss Martinez, why did you stab Mr. Grant?"I blinked, keeping my face calm, though my insides churned at his accusation. "I didn’t," I said firmly.Peter studied me in silence for a few moments, his stare almost unnerving. "So, he stabbed himself?" he asked, his voice laced with sarcasm."I don’t know," I replied, keeping my tone

    VERONICA'S POVOne thing I’ve always been good at is pretending. I know how to put on the perfect act, making people see only what I want them to see. So, when I had Emma arrested, I knew it would buy me time. Time to get closer to Simeon. Time to make him forget her.I sat by his bedside, watching his pale face, waiting for him to open his eyes. It was late—around 2 a.m.—and I must have dozed off. I didn’t realize I’d fallen asleep until I felt a light tap on my shoulder.I woke up abruptly, blinking in the dim hospital light. It was him. Simeon. His tired eyes were open, looking straight at me.“You’re awake?” I said, quickly sitting up, my hand reaching out to touch his cheek. I smiled at him warmly, as if I’d been waiting for this moment forever.“Where is Emma?” he asked.The question hit me like a slap. My smile faltered for a moment before I quickly recovered. Of course, she was the first thing on his mind. Not me, the one sitting by his side, sacrificing my sleep to care for h

    VERONICA'S POVIt wasn’t long before a nurse walked into the room. Simeon quickly tried to remove his hand from my chest, but I held it firmly, giving him no chance to withdraw. The nurse gave me a curious look before speaking.“Miss Stacy, there are some people outside waiting to see Mr. Grant. Should I let them in?” she asked, her tone polite.At first, I was tempted to say yes, but I decided to check for myself who they were. Peeking through the door, I saw them — a group of reporters with cameras, microphones, and eager faces. My heart skipped. The media.“Praise God,” I whispered under my breath. If I had foolishly allowed them in, Simeon would have known I was the one who broke the news about Emma’s alleged involvement in his stabbing. That revelation would ruin everything I’ve been working so hard to achieve.Turning back to the nurse, I spoke calmly, “Tell them to wait. I’ll address them shortly.”I took a moment to compose myself, then stepped outside to meet the reporters. A

I groaned and sat up slowly, squinting around the unfamiliar room."Where am I?" I muttered, confused, dragging the sheets off my body and standing up carefully like the floor might move under me.Then... flashes of last night hit me.The bar.The drinks.That guy...I clutched my head and gasped. “Did we have sex?” I asked myself, my voice just above a whisper. The worst part? I couldn’t remember. That frustrated me more than the headache itself.Before I could process anything further, my phone rang. The sound felt like a hammer slamming into my skull. I grabbed my bag and pulled out the phone.

How could I even begin to explain to everyone inside that my own husband got my twin sister pregnant? I forced a smile on my face, fixed my dress, and walked towards the front door like everything was perfect.As soon as I stepped into the house, I heard loud voices yell, "Happy birthday!" They all thought it was Scott walking in behind me."Where is he?" his mother, Nina, asked with a big smile on her face."Uh... kind of busy," I replied, forcing another smile. "But he'll be here very soon."The words tasted like poison in my mouth. Today was supposed to be fun. It was supposed to be perfect. But everything had fallen apart. I climbed the stairs slowly, went into our bedroom, and locked the door behind me. My legs gave out, and I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to replay everything I had just witnessed at Scott’s office.Ivy. My own twin sist

    VINA'S POVFor a whole month, I had been thinking of how I was going to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Scott — my charming, handsome billionaire husband. We’ve been married for two years now, and to be honest, it’s the kind of marriage I dreamed about back when I was just a teenager.

Already decorated from head to toe by professionals. The smell of his best dish filled the air. His favorite wine? Sitting perfectly chilled, waiting. I invited his friends, his siblings, even his ever-dramatic mother. All set. All perfect. I couldn’t stop smiling. I imagined the look on his face when he walked in and saw everything.

    After that night, everything changed. I could feel it the moment I walked into the FBI headquarters. The looks on their faces, the whispers, the way they avoided meeting my eyes—all signs that they had lost faith in me. And I couldn’t blame them. I had one job: to deliver Damon, and I failed.That night, the building was surrounded. I had planned everything perfectly. Agents were stationed at every exit, waiting for my command. We were so close. I could practically taste victory. But, Damon found out who I am. And till now am still wondering how he did.I thought about the way he looked at me last night, the pain in his eyes. I had never seen him like that before.
