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

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 44: EXPOSING THE THIEVES

    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

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 45: A SHARED ENEMY

    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

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 46: FIRING BACK

    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

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 47: THE COST OF GREED

    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

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 48: AN UNCERTAIN RESTART

    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 49: A PROMISE TO SLOW DOWN

    EMMA'S POV “Can we take things slow?” I asked, unsure of how Daniel would react. I saw the flicker of disappointment in his eyes, but then he smiled, masking his true feelings.“Yes, we can,” he said calmly, and to my surprise, the entire restaurant erupted in applause.He sat back down and reached for my hand, his touch warm and reassuring. “Thank you, Emma,” he said softly. I nodded, smiling faintly, though I knew he hadn’t expected me to say that.Dinner ended soon after, and we both walked back to his car. The drive to my house was quiet, almost peaceful. As the car stopped in front of my house, Daniel leaned closer, his intentions clear. I instinctively moved back, creating a gap between us.“You promised we’d take things slow,” I reminded him, meeting his gaze.“I’m sorry,” he said, his voice sincere. I stepped out of the car, my heels clicking against the pavement.“I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow,” he said before I could fully leave.I stopped and turned back slightly. “Alr

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 50: BETWEEN TWO CHOICES

    EMMA'S POVIt has been a month and a few days since Judith became Simeon's personal assistant at Forge Studios. Her job wasn’t the issue— it was the fact that I had to see her almost every day. The sight of her walking around the studio like she owned the place made my blood boil. Judith carried herself with a confidence that felt like an insult to me, especially after all the trouble she had caused.To make matters worse, Simeon made me look like a powerless boss, undermining my authority in front of everyone. People in the studio treated me like I was just another figurehead, and I knew it was because of the way Simeon handled things. I had fired Judith once, thinking it would solve everything, but she came back, just like she said she would. Simeon rehired her, and there was nothing I could do about it.Now that Veronica wasn’t interested in helping me deal with Judith anymore, I realized I’d have to handle this mess on my own. Veronica had been clear when we spoke over the phone.

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 51: FIGHTING FOR HER

    SIMEON'S POVAmong all the women I had ever known, Judith was different. She wasn’t self-centered or manipulative like the others. If it had been anyone else in her position, sharing a "friends with benefits" arrangement with me, they would have demanded exclusivity, insisting I stay away from other women. But Judith never tried to control me— or at least, that’s what I thought.Everything changed the day she sent Emma a picture of me sleeping beside her. That picture destroyed everything Emma and I had built. Emma ended things immediately, leaving me no room for explanations or apologies.I was livid. The moment I confronted Judith, my anger spilled over. “Why would you send that picture? What were you thinking?” I demanded, my voice cold and sharp.She didn’t even flinch. “Emma fired me. I was angry, and I wanted her to feel what I felt,” she replied, her tone unapologetic.“That’s no excuse!” I yelled. “You need to fix this mess, Judith. I don’t care how you do it, but you owe me.”

I needed to know if she had a hand in the incident that happened last night.When I got to the family house she was in the garden sipping her juice and holding a newspaper in her hand.“Why did you ask someone to drug me last night mum?”. 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.

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.
