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

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

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.

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.”

EMMA'S POVToday was the first day I ever left the office so early. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion after Simeon asked me the one question that caught me completely off guard: "Who do you love between the two of us?"How could I answer such a question when I didn’t even know the answer myself? It was unfair for Simeon to demand clarity from me, especially when I was already torn between him and Daniel. Over the past three weeks, Daniel had been nothing but kind and attentive. His sudden transformation caught me by surprise, particularly after Simeon and I had a minor misunderstanding.That misunderstanding was my fault— I wasn’t calm enough to handle the situation, and my temper flared. In contrast, Daniel stepped in as a pillar of support. Simeon had always been there, especially on that fateful day when I caught Veronica and Daniel together in our home. He comforted me both physically and emotionally during that devastating period.The irony? Both Simeon and Daniel were unfait

EMMA'S POVAfter a long night of restless thinking, I finally decided to call Veronica. I had been weighing this decision for days, knowing full well that Veronica wasn’t the most reliable person to talk to. But she had history with both Daniel and Simeon— she knew them in ways I didn’t. Maybe, just maybe, she could give me some insight.My fingers hovered over the call button before I finally pressed it. The phone rang twice before her familiar sharp voice answered."What’s up, bitch?" Veronica’s casual greeting was almost enough to make me hang up."Hope you’re good," I said, trying to keep the conversation civil."Emma, don’t waste my time with all that fake politeness. We both know you don’t like me," she shot back, her tone cutting.I sighed, already regretting my decision to call. "I didn’t call to argue. I just wanted to ask you something.""Spit it out, then," she snapped."You’ve been with Simeon and Daniel before," I started cautiously. "You’ve spent time with both of them.

JUDITH'S POVLove? I don’t believe in it. Not one bit. I’ve seen how it destroys people, tears them apart, and leaves them hollow. That’s why I’ve stayed away from any relationship that demands commitment. I simply can’t do it. I wasn’t joking when I told Emma that love doesn’t interest me. I meant every word. It’s why I’m comfortable with my arrangement with Simeon— friends with benefits. Just sex, no strings attached. It works for me, and it keeps me safe from the mess love always creates.I won’t deny that Simeon is in love with Emma. He doesn’t even try to hide it. He talks about her constantly— her beauty, her intelligence, her charm and the way she tasted the first time they met at the bar. Emma is the kind of woman every man wants. She’s independent, wealthy, stunning, and smart. No amount of sex with Simeon would ever change his feelings for her, and I’ve made my peace with that. Honestly, if I were a lesbian, I might be tempted to try Emma myself, just to understand what make

DANIEL'S POVWhen Simeon and I argued in Emma’s office that day, I never imagined it would spiral into a full- blown competition. The simple disagreement turned into a bet— one that carried high stakes. Simeon promised to hand over his 40% shares in Pixel Forge Studios if I won Emma’s heart, and I pledged my 40% shares in Trenton Corp to him if he succeeded. I wasn’t just confident; I was absolutely certain that I’d come out on top. After all, Emma wasn’t some random woman in my life— she was my ex-wife. I had a history with her, one that Simeon couldn’t possibly compete with. I knew her in ways no one else did. I understood her likes, her dislikes, and even the small quirks that made her unique.One thing I’ve always been good at is making a lasting impression. I know how to subtly highlight someone’s flaws while emphasizing my strengths. So, when the terms of the bet were set, I wasn’t worried. I was ready to do whatever it took to ensure I won. For me, failure wasn’t an option.But

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. 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 stood up to go and say hi to my big sis and her fiance.“You are finally awake, sleepy head”. Big sis said with sarcasm.“Actually it was the game you downloaded on the phone that made me sleep late. 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. He looks so handsome.My stomach rumbled loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear. I felt like slapping it. Must it tell everyone in the room that I didn't feed it last night?

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”.

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.

EMMA'S POVI woke up the next day with pains all over my body. I couldn't even get off the bed.When I checked the time, it was 1:00 pm at noon. How could I have slept for so long? And Jason didn't even bother to wake me up.Maybe he didn't want to disturb me but I planned to visit the office today.I searched the table close to my bed for my phone, that was when my eyes caught a paper that was folded.I took it to read the content.Good morning or probably afternoon depending on when you must have woken up.

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

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.
