My Unfaithful Lover Chapter 41: A QUESTION OF LOVE
EMMA'S POVWhen Simeon and I arrived at the restaurant, the serene environment eased some of the tension between us. It was quiet and cool, the kind of place where you could have a meaningful conversation without distractions. We placed our orders, and soon enough, the food arrived. For a while, everything seemed normal. We ate in silence, savoring the calmness of the moment. Then, Simeon suddenly stopped eating, his fork hanging mid-air as if he had just remembered something important.“So, you know that Veronica wants me to believe that you had something to do with my stabbing?” he asked, his tone calm but serious.I froze, unsure of what to say at first. “What?” I finally managed, shocked by his words.“She told me that you knew about it,” he added, his voice filled with doubt.I leaned back in my chair, shaking my head in disbelief. “Do you know she got me arrested, Simeon? My arrest bought her enough time to move you out of the hospital before I could do anything,” I said, my voi

SIMEON'S POV After leaving the restaurant, the argument with Emma kept playing in my mind. I had hoped for a different outcome, but her words struck me harder than I cared to admit. Still, my resolve hadn’t wavered. Daniel had to pay for what he did, and I was ready to take what mattered most to him, Trenton Corp. My feelings for Emma wouldn’t stop me from exacting my revenge.As my driver maneuvered through the quiet streets, I pulled out my phone and dialed Veronica. She picked up after the first ring."Hello, Veronica. Are you home?""Yes, I am," she replied, her tone hinting at anticipation."Good. I’ll be there in ten minutes."Hanging up, I leaned back in my seat, my thoughts already drifting to what awaited me at Veronica's place. A text notification flashed across my phone screen. It was from Judith.Judith: I have a surprise for you tonight.I smirked. It was obvious what she meant. If she wanted to play, I’d indulge her after finishing my business with Veronica.When I arri

SIMEON'S POV It had been six days since the news broke. The headlines were brutal: “Simeon Grant: The Thief in a Suit.” Everywhere I turned, people whispered, stared, or outright accused me. My wealth, once admired, was now questioned. Was everything I had earned tainted? Daniel had managed to weaponize the truth and manipulate the narrative to turn New York against me.I couldn’t even blame him entirely. Ninety percent of what he said was true. He laid it all out, sparing no detail. Daniel explained how he transferred his properties to Veronica to shield them during his messy divorce with Emma. He even exposed how Veronica refused to return his assets once their arrangement ended. The public ate it up, especially since rumors about Veronica’s sudden control over Trenton Corp had been swirling for weeks. Now, they had their answer, and I was the scapegoat.That night, as I sat on Judith's couch, my phone rang. It was Emma. Her name on the screen sent a wave of guilt through me. After

DANIEL'S POVWhen Simeon called me, I instantly felt uneasy. My gut told me something bad was about to happen. At first, I assumed he had finally discovered the truth - that I was behind his stabbing, and that he might be coming after me. To protect myself, I quickly decided to record the call. But to my surprise, the conversation wasn’t about the stabbing. No, it was something much bigger.Simeon made a grave mistake. He told me outright that he now owned Trenton Corp, the company my grandparents worked tirelessly to build from the ground up. Hearing those words felt like a dagger to my heart. I couldn’t believe his audacity. The rage bubbling inside me nearly made me lose my composure, but I kept calm. As soon as the call ended, I didn’t waste a second. I left my apartment immediately and headed straight to WABC, the biggest TV station in New York.Even though I didn’t have much money to convince their bosses to give me the opportunity I needet, they agreed to interview me because o

EMMA'S POV“Daniel, it can’t be possible. You cheated on me, Daniel. How are you expecting me to live with that?” I asked, my voice trembling with anger and pain. He was sitting across from me on the couch, his head down like a guilty child.Daniel let out a long sigh, rubbing his palms together nervously. “Emma, I know what I did was wrong — terribly wrong. But you have to understand, Veronica… she kind of charmed me. It wasn’t entirely my fault,” he said, his voice heavy with guilt.I scoffed. “Oh, so now you’re blaming Veronica? Did she force you to transfer the ownership documents under her name? Tell me, Daniel. Did she?”He shook his head slowly, avoiding my gaze. “No, she didn’t. I was selfish, Emma. I thought I was protecting myself, but I’ve learned my lesson. I’ve learned the hard way.”I couldn’t believe his words. The nerve to sit here and try to justify his betrayal infuriated me. I stood up, my arms crossed over my chest. “Daniel, I love Simeon. We are dating now,” I sai

EMMA'S POVI couldn't sleep last night. All I could think about were the words Daniel had said. Simeon wasn’t just sleeping with Veronica, but also with Judith. After everything I had done for Judith— giving her back her job, trying to make things right— she still went behind my back and slept with Simeon. The betrayal felt like a slap to my face. I couldn’t understand it, but I knew I had to act fast.I got out of bed and opened my laptop. I didn’t want to wait until tomorrow for Human Resources to handle the situation. The anger inside me was too much to bear, so I started drafting a sack letter for Judith. It wasn’t just about her actions with Simeon; it was about how she had disrespected me, how she had stabbed me in the back even after all I had done for her. I needed to be the one to take action. No one else would do it for me.By the time morning came, I was already at the office. I was there before anyone else, even the security guards were surprised to see me. As I sat at Jud

SIMEON'S POVIt’s been over two weeks now, and I haven’t stepped out of Judith’s apartment. Ever since the situation with Daniel blew up, hiding here has been my only option. To be fair, Judith has been taking care of me. She makes sure I eat well, and she keeps me occupied in bed, though that part doesn’t compare to the first time I was with Emma. But aside from all that, the outside world has become a nightmare for me. Every single one of my social media accounts is flooded with abusive messages. People now call me a “thief in a suit.” I thought staying quiet would help the situation die down, but I was wrong. The hate keeps growing.The only reason I haven’t been physically attacked is that no one knows where I’m hiding. Everyone in New York seems to be asking the same question: When will Simeon return Trenton Corp to Daniel? Judith suggested I hand the company back to him, but doing so would only prove to the world that I stole it in the first place. None of this would’ve happened

EMMA'S POVThe day began with an unexpected piece of news— Simeon had returned Trenton’s ownership to Daniel. For a moment, I felt a twinge of relief, but it didn’t last long. Simeon’s decision, though the right one, came at the worst possible time. It didn’t erase the mess he had created, nor did it stop people from talking. They now saw Daniel as the righteous man, the perfect victim, even though he had started this chaos in the first place.When I got to work that morning, I was greeted by a pile of gifts in my office. Sitting on my desk was a small note that read, “I’m sorry for everything. From Daniel.” I stared at it, unsure of how to feel. Daniel had been trying to work things out with me for a while now, but I wasn’t interested. And then there was Simeon— the man who claimed to love me yet continued to sleep with Judith.Judith wasn’t subtle either. She even had the audacity to send me a message boasting that Simeon had been with her for over two weeks. I thought she was lying

My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 200: YOU DISGUST ME
CHERRY'S POV We were seated in the conference room waiting for Miss Pearl to come and address us. She came in with Miriam after thirty minutes of waiting. They were smiling from ear to ear when they came in. Miriam came to where I was seated and folded her hand. She looked so vulnerable. “Cherry, please forgive me for all the wrongs I've done to you”. Seriously? Why is she begging now? Oh I see, maybe she thinks that I am planning to expose what I saw in the office today, but I won't. I believe one day they would be caught by the boss himself. As long as they don't make things difficult for me, I won't even spare a glance at them. “Actually, Cherry, I was the one that asked her to ask for your forgiveness because I want us to work as a team, because we achieve what we want easily if there is peace amongst us. So please forgive her”. So it's Miss Pearl that asked her to apologize to me. It's fine I will forgive her, but I won't let my guard down on her. “Alright, I have forgi

CHERRY'S POVI smiled as soon as I heard the manager's voice. “She submitted her design to me before coming to join the line and I must say, I was really impressed. Here, you can take a look”. He handed it to Miss Pearl. “I won't be opening anyone's design because I don't want others to copy, I won't be the only one judging on this design. There are some top designers that would come and organize a competition for the five top people that I will pick”.“Alright”. The manager agreed with her and everyone dispersed.

My Unfaithful Lover CHAPTER 196: SELECTION OF THE BEST DESIGNER
CHERRY'S POVWhen I came out from the Manager's office, the employees were still standing in lines to register their names.I saw Miriam standing in line as well. I was surprised because I thought they said that cleaners are exempted from participating in the competition, so why is Miriam standing in line here?She must have used illegal means to join them, but I don't care, I just need to focus on my own goal.I walked quietly towards them and stood in line, I was actually the last person.Just then Miriam turned and saw me, she glared at me at first, but her facial expression changed immediately to a mockery.She left her line and walked towards me, that moment she walked to me, I knew she would cause trouble.“What are you doing in this line?
