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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    DANIEL'S POV It’s been six days since Rose made her promise to help me win Emma back. She said I’d have her in two weeks, but honestly, I haven’t seen any real effort from her side. Sure, Simeon hasn’t been around Pixel Forge Studios for the past two days, but does that really mean anything? I can’t help but feel like I’m being played. This question has been stuck in my head, repeating itself over and over, like an annoying tune you can’t get rid of.This morning, I woke up determined to take matters into my own hands. If Rose wouldn’t help me the way I wanted, then I’d have to find my way back into Emma’s heart myself. My plan was simple: pick her up for work. I thought it would be a good way to show her I was serious about fixing things between us.As my car pulled up in front of her house, I spotted her standing in the driveway, looking at her cars. She seemed undecided, her eyes moving back and forth between the vehicles, as if she were struggling to choose which one to take.“Ju

    EMMA'S POVI couldn’t believe what I just heard. The message Rose had sent felt like a punch in the stomach, leaving me breathless. The words replayed in my mind like a haunting melody, each repetition more terrifying than the last. “You promised me two weeks to make Emma mine for the exchange of your life, but I haven’t seen anything. So, tell me a reason why I shouldn’t send my men to kill you?” My hands trembled as I clutched my phone, listening to those words over and over again, as if doing so would somehow change their meaning. But no matter how many times the audio kept playing , the words remained the same— cold, sharp, and utterly devastating.It was as if the air had been sucked out of the room. My heart raced, pounding so loudly in my chest that it drowned out every other sound. For a moment, the world around me seemed to blur, my mind unable to process what I had just listened to. Was this some kind of cruel joke? A mistake? I didn’t want to believe it, but deep down, I k

    EMMA'S POV Jason and Angel had no idea I was there when they had their conversation when they were at the kitchen. I was just lucky enough to hear everything. And when I did, I couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. Finally, Jason had fallen for my plans. I didn’t even let him know that I heard anything. Instead, forcedly left the house, giving him and Angel the space to make things cook well. The best part about executing a plan was knowing exactly when to step back and let things unfold. I had played my role perfectly so far, and now it was time for Jason to unknowingly do his part. This morning, Jason came to Aunt Grace’s house, where I was staying, to update me on everything that had happened since then. The moment he stepped inside, I could tell from his expression that he had something important to say. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his lips were pressed together in a straight line, like he was trying to process his thoughts before speaking. As soon as he sat down, he lo

    ANGEL'S POVI had been watching them for weeks, but lately, my secret camera in Emma and Jason’s bedroom had been useless. Not because it was broken, but because they weren’t talking like they used to. They weren’t laughing. They weren’t arguing. They weren’t whispering secrets into each other’s ears like they had always done before. It was as if something between them had shifted, something invisible but heavy, creating a distance neither of them wanted to acknowledge.Emma and Jason had always been the perfect couple in front of everyone. To the world, they were inseparable. Smiling at every event, holding hands in every picture, whispering sweet nothings whenever someone was watching. But I knew better. I had seen the cracks in their so-called love since I started living with them. And when Jason told me he never loved Emma— that he was only with her for her money— it confirmed what I had already suspected.It confirmed the rumors I had been hearing, the whispers in quiet corners,

    JASON'S POVI paced around the room, shaking my head in frustration. The idea was ridiculous— dangerous even. "I can't do this. This is a stupid plan," I muttered, running a hand through my hair. My mind was racing, and my heart pounded in my chest. How did it come to this? How did I end up in such a messy situation?Emma, lounging on the couch like she didn’t have a care in the world, rolled her eyes dramatically. "Jesus, Jason, this is not hard. You’re acting like I’m asking you to climb Mount Everest. Just make her fall in love with you. Get close to her, gain her trust, and when the time is right, create a moment where it looks like you’re about to sleep with her." She smirked, her expression full of mischief. "And then I’ll barge in with a camera in my hand, catching everything."I turned to her, frowning deeply. "And what about my reputation? Won't people say I’m just using you whereas I love her?" The idea of deceiving someone like this left a bitter taste in my mouth. Sure, I

    EMMA'S POV I barely stepped into the house when Jason’s voice stopped me in my tracks.“I thought you went to get foodstuff?” he asked, his eyes scanning my empty hands with a hint of suspicion.For a moment, I just stood there, confused. Foodstuff? Then it hit me. I had lied to Jason about going shopping when, in reality, I had gone to see Daniel and Simeon for help. But the meeting had occupied my mind so much that I completely forgot to buy anything to cover up my lie.His question caught me off guard. My mind raced for an explanation, but I had nothing. No excuse. No prepared lie. I just stood there, silent. I didn’t want to lie to him again. Not when he was already looking at me with so many unspoken questions in his eyes.Jason’s face shifted from suspicion to concern. His brows furrowed slightly as he took a step toward me. “Did something happen?” he asked, his voice softer now, laced with worry. His eyes scanned my face as if searching for an answer I wasn’t giving.I swallow

    EMMA'S POV That afternoon, my phone rang again. It was Simeon. I had asked him for support earlier which he said he would get back to me. And now he was finally calling back. But his response was short and unexpected."I can't."My heart dropped. I stared at my phone for a few seconds, trying to process his words. Something wasn’t right.“There’s something wrong somewhere,” Jason said, sitting close to me.“Yeah, I can feel it too,” I agreed.“These two men helped you stay out of jail, so why are they refusing now?” Jason asked, his brows furrowed in concern. “Did you offend them?”I shook my head, trying to think. “I don’t know. The last thing I remember telling them was that I’m coming for them the same way I treated Liam and Hannah.”Jason’s expression changed as he considered my words. “What if they’re working for Angel now?”That question sent a chill down my spine. It made sense. Angel was manipulative, and if she had found a way to get to Simeon and Daniel, that would explain

  • My Unfaithful Lover   Chapter 140: EMMA ALWAYS WINS, BUT NOT THIS TIME

    ANGEL'S POVI’ve always believed that being rich gets you everything. I mean, that’s what people say, right? If you have money, you have power, connections, and everything you could ever want. But I was wrong. I learned that lesson the hard way— watching my best friend, Emma, get all the good things in life while I was left behind.Emma and I grew up together. Her family was average, not poor, not rich— just normal. Meanwhile, I had everything. My parents were wealthy, and I never had to worry about anything. But somehow, Emma was always the one people liked more. She had this way of making people value her. It was annoying.Then came Liam. Back in high school, he was the new student, and from the moment he arrived, I thought he belonged to me. But no, he was interested in Emma. That was the first time I realized that money didn’t always get you what you wanted. But I wasn’t going to accept that.Liam should have been looking at me, not Emma. So, during high school, I made sure that h

    SIMEON'S POV I have always believed that a man can love one woman deeply, even while entertaining countless others. Some might call it foolish, others might call it selfish, but I know it to be true. No matter how many women have come and gone in my life, my heart has never wavered. It has always belonged to Emma.She doesn’t see me the way I see her. To her, I am just another man in the background, someone who exists but never truly matters. But that has never stopped me from loving her. It has never made me reconsider my feelings, not even for a second. I believe that love is patient, and someday, she will be mine.But love is never simple, and my path to Emma is filled with obstacles. The greatest of them all is Daniel— my fiercest competitor, my biggest rival. He has tried everything to win her over. He has plotted and schemed, played games both clever and desperate. He has bribed people, manipulated situations, and even tried to frame others to get closer to her. But no matter w

    EMMA'S POV For about three hours after Angel’s outburst on live TV, Jason and I sat in the living room, struggling to come up with a solid plan to bring her down. Every idea we thought of had a flaw, and frustration started to creep in like a slow, unwanted guest. It was as if we were trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces, and the more we thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.Jason leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers restlessly on the wooden table. The sound was soft but irritating, like a clock ticking too loudly in a silent room. He exhaled sharply, clearly tired of our back- and- forth discussion. “I think involving someone else would be better. Let’s see his fthoughts on this,” he suggested, his voice carrying a note of desperation.I didn’t even need to ask who he was referring to. I knew exactly who he meant, and I shook my head immediately, my response firm and final. “Nope. Not after what he and Daniel did to us.”Jason frowned, clearly disagreeing

    EMMA'S POVAfter last night, Jason and I promised never to lie to each other again. No more secrets, no more hiding things from each other. No matter what happened, we were going to stick together. That was the deal.It felt like a fresh start, like we were finally on the same page. I wanted to believe that from now on, nothing and no one could come between us. We had been through too much already.So, this morning, after I and Jason finish making breakfast, I went straight to Angel’s room to call her to eat. But when I got there, the room was empty. The bed was neatly made, the pillows fluffed, and the curtains drawn open, letting the morning sunlight stream in. It didn’t look like she had slept there at all.Frowning, I stepped inside and looked around. There was no sign of her shoes, her purse, or even the light jacket she always wore when she went out. It was strange. She never left the house without at least letting someone know where she was going."Angel?" I called out, but the
