SIMEON'S POV

Anything 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

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 71: STUBBORN HEARTS

    EMMA'S POVIt still shocks me to know that Simeon’s wealth came from gambling. Even now, I struggle to wrap my mind around it. Gambling, to me, has always been one of the most destructive habits a person can have. It isn’t just a harmless game of chance— it’s a trap, a dark hole that consumes everything in its path. The very thought of it fills me with disgust, and my feelings about it have only grown stronger over the years.My hatred for gambling has a history. My uncle Peter, once a respected man in the community, fell victim to its allure. He was the type of person everyone admired, always offering help to neighbors and carrying himself with dignity. But gambling changed him. It started small— bets here and there— but it quickly spiraled out of control. He borrowed so much money to fuel his addiction that, when he couldn’t repay his debts, his entire life crumbled. The shame of it was unbearable. His wife, unable to cope with the constant harassment from debt collectors and the fi

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 72: THIS FOOD CAN'T PASS ME BY

    SIMEON'S POVAfter that rough night with Rose, I couldn’t shake off the irritation bubbling inside me. The way she involved Emma— holding her hostage, using her as leverage to get to me— it disgusted me. It wasn’t just about Emma being dragged into my mess; it was the audacity of Rose to think that such a move would somehow make me see her differently. Since that night, I’ve been doing everything possible to make things right with Emma. I’ve called her countless times, tried to explain, but nothing seems to work. It feels like every effort I make just pushes her further away. I keep replaying that night in my head, wondering how things could have gone so wrong, but no answer ever comes.Emma’s words the last time I called her still stung like a fresh wound. I could barely get through the call without hearing the sharp edge in her voice, a tone I had never heard from her before.“Simeon, please don’t ever call me again. Don’t even come down to the office. Go look after your other compa

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 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”.

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?

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?

    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
