last update Last Updated: 2024-12-25 11:57:51

EMMA'S POV

It 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.

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chspter 54: LOVE ISN’T FOR ME

    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

    EMMA'S POVIt has been two days since I asked Judith to help me test Daniel and see if he had truly changed. In return for her assistance, I gave her a week off work so she could rest and take some time for herself. Judith was more than willing to take on the task, and so far, everything had been quiet. Surprisingly, during those two days, there hadn’t been any bad reports about him. “He’s resisting,” Judith told me over the phone when I called her this morning to check on the progress. “But I’m sure he’ll break soon,” she added with confidence in her voice.“Be careful,” I warned her, my tone carrying a mix of concern and seriousness, before hanging up the call.At the same time, Simeon had been pestering me relentlessly about moving in with him. “You’re a grown woman, Emma. It’s time you started living on your own,” he had said to me countless times, repeating the same argument over and over. The thing is, I have never lived alone. I have always been surrounded by people, and I don’

    JUDITH'S POVIf I had known Emma would come to my place, I wouldn’t have invited Daniel and Simeon over. The plan was simple: to enjoy myself and have a little fun with the two of them. Threesome. But, as always, Emma managed to ruin everything. I even regretted telling her that Daniel would be coming over— it felt like I had handed her a map to sabotage me. Even Simeon didn’t know Daniel would be there, but I was determined to make the most of the night. And yes, I meant every word when I warned Daniel that I would spoil him in front of Emma. I genuinely appreciated how seriously he took it.Then Emma showed up, and chaos immediately followed.“What have you done?” Simeon snapped at me the moment he and Daniel stepped back inside.“Done as in what?” I asked, feigning ignorance, trying to appear clueless about his accusation.“Why do I have this strong feeling that you planned all of this?” Daniel asked, his tone sharp and accusing.“I didn’t plan anything! I just wanted to have fun.

    EMMA'S POVIt had been four long days since the incident at Judith's house, and I was still struggling to figure out what it all meant. The questions kept swirling in my mind, refusing to settle. Sure, I wasn’t supposed to be there, but Judith had explained herself. According to her, Simeon was only there for work and to check on her health. Apparently, when I told Judith to take a week off because of the Tex have given her. I then informed Simeon— her boss— that she was sick. That explained why he had shown up. Yet, even with her explanation, it still didn’t sit right with me. Something about the whole situation felt... off.Maybe I had judged the situation too quickly. After all, I hadn’t even achieved what I wanted from everything I’d done so far. I wasn’t sure if Daniel had changed or not, and Judith, the only person who could help me figure it out, was someone I wasn’t exactly treating well at the moment. If I reached out to her, would she even consider helping me again after the

    EMMA'S POV No… No…I stood up from the couch, my legs trembling slightly, my heart racing so fast it felt like it would burst out of my chest. Liam stood up too, his eyes locked onto mine. As he took a step toward me, I instinctively took one back. I didn’t trust him— not like this.My mind was at war with itself. Should I scream for help? Should I try to push him away? Or should I just let him speak, let him explain whatever it was he wanted? But before I could come to a decision, he suddenly reached out, grabbing my waist and pulling me toward him.My breath hitched. His touch was unexpected— too soft, too smooth, as if his hands had never known hard labor or roughness. It sent a shiver down my spine, and not in a good way. I froze as his fingers moved lower, sliding from my waist downward. A sinking feeling formed in my stomach. I knew exactly what he was trying to do. He wanted to grab my ass.Panic surged through me. I reacted immediately, stepping back as fast as I could. But m

    EMMA'S POV"Can I come in?"Liam's voice pulled me back to reality. I had been so lost in thought that I barely noticed how long I had kept him standing there, waiting for an answer.I hesitated, gripping the doorknob tightly as my mind raced. Should I allow him in? If I did, it would only be the two of us inside. The thought sent an uneasy feeling through me. Only God knew what would happen.A part of me wanted to close the door in his face and pretend this moment never happened. I could act like I had never heard his voice, never seen his face again, never been reminded of everything we used to be. That would be the easiest thing to do.But another part— the part I didn’t want to acknowledge— wanted to let him in.I still liked him.The realization made my stomach tighten uncomfortably. I had spent years convincing myself that I was over Liam, that our past was nothing but a closed chapter in the book of my life. I told myself he didn’t matter anymore, that my heart had healed, and

    HANNAH'S POVI had been planning this for weeks, carefully thinking through every little detail to make sure nothing went wrong. Now, everything was finally falling into place, just the way I had envisioned it. Jason and Emma’s wedding was only a few weeks away, and if I wanted this mission to be successful, I needed to act fast. There was no room for mistakes, no time for second thoughts. Jason was deeply in love with Emma, and I knew he wouldn’t leave her unless something drastic happened— something that would shatter his trust completely. That’s exactly what I was going to make happen.Liam was the key to everything. He was my golden ticket, the perfect tool to execute this plan. He had history with Emma, and despite everything, I knew she still had feelings for him—even if she refused to admit it out loud. It is normal for everyone. It was clear in the way she had reacted when she saw that Liam was back in town. The little hesitation in her voice, the way her eyes had flickered wi

    EMMA'S POVI tried to hold back my tears as I entered the cab, my hands trembling as I shut the door behind me. My heart pounded against my chest, and my breath came out in short, uneven gasps. I told myself I wouldn’t cry. Not now. Not in front of the driver. Not when Liam was still running toward us, his voice calling my name, growing fainter with each passing second.The driver, an elderly man with tired eyes and a kind face, glanced at me through the rearview mirror. His gaze shifted between me and the figure of Liam, who had stopped in the middle of the road, watching me leave. His hands were on his knees as he tried to catch his breath."Are we waiting for him?" the driver asked, his voice gentle yet curious.I felt a lump rise in my throat. I knew that if I turned around, if I allowed myself to look at Liam for even a second longer, I would break down completely. So I clenched my fists, dug my nails into my palm, and forced myself to speak."No," I said quickly, my voice barely

    JUDITH POVI never planned for any of this. It all started the day I slept with Matthew just to save Emma. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, a moment of desperation where I traded my body for something I thought was more important. I convinced myself that it was just a transaction, a simple deal with a clear purpose. There were no emotions attached, no lingering feelings, nothing beyond the physical act. That was what I believed. But somehow, Matthew and I fell into an arrangement— an agreement that neither of us had discussed but both of us understood. No strings attached. No commitments. Just sex.At least, that was how I saw it. And that is who I am.Matthew, on the other hand, treated me differently. He didn’t just see me as someone to sleep with. He started showering me with gifts, things I never asked for but somehow always received. Cars, money, expensive jewelry— he made sure I had more than I needed. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but over time, it became overwhel

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 122: "VILLAINS NEED VACATIONS TOO"

    HANNAH'S POVI watched Liam's face closely as he spoke, a grin forming on my lips. He looked so pleased with himself, like a child who had just been praised for doing something clever. I almost laughed at how easy it was to manipulate him. He was just a pawn, a tool for me to use."She left in anger immediately after I told her everything," he said, his face lighting up with satisfaction. His chest puffed out slightly, as if he had just accomplished some grand mission.I turned my gaze to Daniel and Simeon, my trusted allies in this scheme. They were sitting on the plush leather couches, their faces showing the same satisfaction that I felt. Everything was falling into place. Everything. Just as I had planned."I think my plan is working," I said, finishing the whiskey in my glass. It burned going down, a sharp reminder that power always comes with a price. But this price, this burn, felt good. It felt like victory. And victory always tasted sweet.Daniel nodded, his expression satisf

Invitations had been sent out to family members, friends, and even enemies. I didn’t care who showed up as long as the day went smoothly. The wedding was going to be grand, and I wanted everything to be perfect. The dress, the decorations, the food— I wanted it all to be just right. Jason was excited too, and we spent a lot of time talking about our future together. It felt good to plan a life with him, to imagine growing old together. It felt safe.Pixel Forge Studios was back on its feet. After the fire incident that almost brought the company down, I worked tirelessly to rebuild it.

    SIMEON'S POVI sat with Hannah and Daniel, watching them as we discussed Emma and Jason's upcoming wedding. I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. I had feelings for Emma, and I knew Daniel did too. It was awkward, competing with my friend who is like an enemy for the same woman, but I wasn’t about to back down. I wanted Emma, and I was ready to fight for her, even if it meant going up against Daniel."I believe you both got the wedding invitation from Emma and Jason?" I asked, trying to keep my voice casual. I didn’t want them to know how much it bothered me that Emma was marrying someone else."I did," Hannah replied with a wicked smile, her eyes sparkling as she spoke. She seemed genuinely not happy for Emma, but I could see something else in her eyes— something that didn’t quite match her smile. It made me wonder what she was really thinking apart from evil.I turned to Daniel, expecting him to say something, but he was unusually quiet. I followed his gaze and realized he was staring at

    HANNAH'S POVI always believed that Jason would somehow come back to me. And he did. But the painful part was that he came back strictly for help, nothing more. It was a few weeks ago when I heard a knock on my door. I was in my room, lost in my thoughts as usual. The days had become monotonous, each one blending into the next, as I replayed memories of us over and over in my mind. I missed him terribly, even though I pretended to be fine. His absence had left a void that nothing could fill. I told my twin sister, Rachel, to check who was at the door.After about half a minute, Rachel walked into my room with a mischievous smile on her face. She stood by the door, leaning against the frame with her arms crossed. “Guess who is at the door?” she asked, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.I looked up at her, confused. “You know I’m terrible at guessing. Just tell me, who is it?” My heart began to race, not because I was expecting anyone special but because of the way Rachel was acting. She
