VERONICA'S POV

What I don’t believe is that money can’t do anything. I’ve seen too much to think otherwise. I grew up in an average family— nothing extraordinary, just a simple, hardworking household. My parents did everything they could to give my siblings and me a decent life. My father worked long hours at the factory, and my mother spent her days cleaning houses. They never complained, but I could see the exhaustion on their faces every night. They tried their best, but their best wasn’t enough. We had just enough to get by, but never enough to feel comfortable. Watching their struggles, I made a promise to myself: I would never live like this. I would never settle for less.

Everything changed when I met Simeon. He wasn’t like anyone else I’d ever known. He was the new transfer student at school, and from the moment he walked into class, I was drawn to him. I can’t explain why, but something about him caught my attention. He was quiet, almost reserved, yet there was a kindness in

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 63: BUY THE POCKET

    EMMA'S POVI opened my eyes suddenly, feeling completely disoriented. For a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was or how I had gotten there. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, and the bed I was lying on felt different from my own. The sterile smell of antiseptics filled the air, making my head spin slightly. Blinking a few times to clear my vision, I looked around more carefully. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I was in a hospital room. The realization hit me like a wave, bringing a new sense of confusion and unease.Why was I here? What had happened to me? My mind raced, desperately searching for answers, but I came up blank. The room was eerily quiet, and there was no one around to explain anything.I tried to sit up, but the sharp sting of a needle in my hand made me wince in pain. Glancing down, I saw an IV line inserted into the back of my hand. The sight of it made me uneasy. I carefully pulled it out, wincing slightly as the movement caused a small sting. I place

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 64: WHEN MONEY FAILS

    SIMEON'S POVAnything in a skirt gets more opportunities than us men. Women know how to use their charm, grace, and sometimes sheer audacity to twist the world in their favor. It’s like an unspoken rule that works every time. Take Veronica, for example— only God knows what kind of promises or favors she must have offered the Chief of Police in New York to make him so loyal to her. She has everyone wrapped around her little finger, manipulating them like pieces on a chessboard. Emma, on the other hand, has made her stance very clear— if Daniel and I don’t figure out a way to put Veronica behind bars where she belongs, we should forget about ever seeing her again.It’s frustrating. No, it’s infuriating. Yet, here we were, sitting in the Chief’s office, ready to confront him head- on. It had taken over an hour for him to even acknowledge our presence, which was nothing short of an insult considering the influence Daniel and I wielded in this city. Daniel, for one, wasn’t accustomed to be

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 65: FIFTY DOLLARS AND A DREAM

    JUDITH'S POVThe day I told Veronica about Emma's birthday started like any other ordinary day. The sun was shining brightly, birds were chirping outside my window, and I went about my usual routine without a clue about the chaos that would unfold. It was just another morning, or so I thought. Little did I know, this seemingly mundane day would spiral into something far more sinister than I could have ever imagined.When I casually mentioned Emma’s birthday to Veronica, her reaction was startling. Her eyes lit up with an excitement that seemed almost childlike, but I knew better than to trust that smile. It was the kind of smile that hinted at trouble, the kind of trouble that made your stomach twist into knots.“You’re going to help me poison her,” Veronica declared suddenly, without hesitation, as if she were asking me to pick up groceries.The words hit me like a brick. My heart stopped for a moment, and I stared at her, unable to believe what I had just heard. “Never. I can’t do t

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 66: THE BAR THAT SHOULD HAVE STAYED A DREAM

    EMMA'S POV The news about Veronica being dragged on TV by Daniel and Simeon was like sweet revenge served piping hot. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched it unfold. The way the public turned on her was something out of a dark fairy tale. People called her the wife of the devil himself— some even suggested she was Satan’s twin. Social media went wild. She trended for all the wrong reasons, and to be honest, it was satisfying to watch. But that satisfaction wasn’t enough for me. I wanted her behind bars. Attempted murder deserved more than just online humiliation. Still, I wasn’t complaining; what Daniel and Simeon did was legendary. There was even a video on F******k of her boarding a private plane out of New York. Good riddance. Or so I thought. The dreams, though. Oh, the dreams. Every single night since I left the hospital, she haunted me. Veronica, with her smug face, trying to kill me in my sleep. I’d wake up screaming and drenched in sweat, my heart pounding like I’d just ru

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 67: NOT MY CIRCUS, DEFINITELY MY MONKEYS

    EMMA'S POV I sat in the dimly lit room, trying not to make eye contact with Marcus, the man polishing his gun like it was a prized possession. The shine on that gun was almost blinding, but the way he handled it made me want to melt into the chair and disappear. I couldn’t help but wonder if this was how chickens felt right before they ended up as dinner. “It’s been an hour and thirty minutes, and Simeon still isn’t here,” I said, trying to sound brave, but my voice cracked like a cheap mirror. Marcus didn’t even glance at me. He just kept wiping that gun, as if a single speck of dust would offend it. “Just let me go,” I blurted. “Sort out whatever problem you have with him without involving me!” Marcus finally looked up and laughed— a deep, chilling sound that sent shivers down my spine. “You don’t understand the kind of danger you’re in, do you?” he said, his voice dripping with menace. “Danger? Look, I don’t even know what’s going on! Simeon dragged me into this mess. I’m

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 68: BIG BETS, BIGGER MESSES

    SIMEON'S POVYou know, life has a way of slapping you in the face and then handing you a lollipop. That’s exactly what happened to me. My name’s Simeon as you all know, and a few years back, my life was in shambles. Veronica, my ex, broke up with me. I mean, who breaks up with someone and takes all the financial support with them? She left me broke and heartbroken, but hey, what doesn’t kill you leaves you scratching your head in a casino.It was Marcus, my ever- so- helpful friend, who dragged me into that secret casino in New York. “Simeon, you need a break,” he said. Little did I know, I’d need more than a break. The place was like stepping into another world— lights, music, and women who looked like they walked straight out of a dream. And that’s when I saw her.Rose.The first time my eyes landed on her, my brain short- circuited. She wasn’t just beautiful; she was… divine. Her hips could start a war, and her chest? Let’s just say God spent overtime crafting her. As I stood there

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 69: ALL IN… ON THE WRONG GUY

    ROSE'S POVYou know, life at the casino wasn’t exactly glamorous. People often imagine casinos as glittering places filled with excitement, luxury, and endless fun. But let me tell you the truth— it’s not like that when you’re working there. Shuffling cards, dealing with drunk gamblers, and pretending to care about their endless sob stories wasn’t exactly my idea of a dream job. It was exhausting, repetitive, and, most of all, draining. But then came Simeon. Oh, Simeon.The first time I saw him, I was mid- shuffle at my usual table. My hands were busy dealing cards for the next round when I noticed him standing at the entrance. He wasn’t like the other gamblers who stumbled in, loud and already half- drunk. No, he stood there quietly with his friend, Marcus, looking around as if he didn’t quite belong. Then his eyes locked on mine. It wasn’t a casual glance— no, it was the kind of look that made me feel like I was the jackpot he had been searching for. My hands froze for a moment, and

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 70: ROSE KNOWS, BUT SHOULD SHE?

    DANIEL'S POVA few days before Veronica defected publicly, I stumbled upon a lead about how I lost eight hundred million dollars on a gambler. The memory felt distant, almost like it belonged to a different time. It was buried somewhere deep in my mind, a part of my past that I hadn’t thought about in years— two or maybe three years ago, to be precise. It wasn’t something I obsessed over anymore. In fact, I rarely let my mind wander in that direction. However, out of nowhere, Jack— the one man I thought would never revisit the subject— suddenly brought it up. His timing was peculiar, but even more surprising was what followed. Just two days after mentioning it, Jack was dead.Before his unexpected death, Jack had mentioned a name— Rose. The name meant nothing to me at the time. I didn’t know her and had no recollection of ever hearing about her before. According to Jack, she had worked at the casino where the incident occurred, though she wasn’t employed there anymore. It wasn’t much

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
