No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 4
It was hard to tell if it was a coincidence or deliberate, but Mia's seat ended up right next to James. With a cheeky grin and her popcorn in hand, she chirped, "Perfect! After the movie, we can grab dinner together." I kept my eyes fixed vaguely ahead. I had no interest in joining their conversation. This movie must’ve been the kind they all liked. By the second half, James and the others were huddled together, whispering enthusiastically. Me? I was so bored I couldn’t stop yawning. Seeing them chatting away happily, I decided to take a quick nap. Who would’ve thought that by the time I woke up, even the credits had finished rolling? As we left the theater, Mia was eagerly discussing the movie’s plot with James. The two of them grew more engrossed in their conversation, gradually drifting farther ahead of the group. That left me trailing behind with James’ buddies. Maybe my silence made everyone think I was upset because they started trying to cheer me up.
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 5
In the private room, the only person I knew well was James. Mia, however, was in her element, rallying the crowd to keep pouring drinks for him. Some of the guys looked a little guilty, sneaking glances my way as they raised their glasses. It wasn’t hard to piece it together. Mia had probably put them up to this. I had to admit she had her ways. Getting this many people to follow her lead wasn’t easy. Then again, they’d all been friends far longer than I’d been in the picture. As the alcohol started to take effect, James suddenly turned to me, his face flushed, and pulled me into a drunken hug and kiss. “Ames, Ames, you’re so beautiful. I like you so much.” Smiling faintly, I placed my hand between his alcohol-scented lips and my face. “My dad likes you, too. He said I have to marry you.” Internally, I scoffed. Joe could keep dreaming. Before James could lean in again, Mia stepped forward, prying him off me. “James, calm down. Look, even Ames is tired
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 6
Since the last encounter, things between James and Mia have become complicated. Even though James still accompanied me to class, his mind was clearly elsewhere. His eyes often wandered to empty spaces, and a conflicted expression lingered on his face. I didn’t think too much about him while I diligently took notes during lectures. What could he possibly be struggling with? Did he trade his IQ for those good looks? Caught between Mia’s subtle pressure and my constant attention, James seemed to buckle under the weight. He even started losing weight at an alarming rate. Oh dear, how heartbroken I was for him! So, naturally, I took it upon myself to restore his health. Every day, I dragged him to the cafeteria for nutritious meals. I piled his tray with chicken, beef, and vegetables, all while wearing a worried expression. “James, are you getting too tired from keeping me company in class? You’ve lost so much weight. Eat more, okay? Otherwise, I’ll feel so bad for y

Joe’s voice turned sharp, tinged with frustration. “What? Amy, are you seriously thinking of breaking up with the brat?” James was at a loss for words. “Ames, aren’t I the love of your life? How could you even think about breaking up with me?” Mia, standing awkwardly to the side, flushed red with embarrassment. “Amy, what are you even talking about? Who are you accusing here?” She pointed a finger at me, her expression twisted as if I’d wronged her beyond reason. Joe didn’t hesitate. He slapped Mia across the face. “Who are you pointing at?!” James darted forward, trying to shield Mia from Joe’s wrath. “Dad! What are you doing? You can’t just hit people!” “Is it because of her? Huh? Tell me, is it because of this woman? Amy is a perfect match for you, and you’re throwing her away for this… this nobody?” Before James could answer, Joe slapped him. With his body weak these days, the slap knocked him to the floor.I stood back, witnessing Joe’s violent ou
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 8
Ever since I complained about James to Joe, my relationship with James hit rock bottom. Joe, ever the meddler, started showing up at my house more and more. “Hey, Amy, all by yourself?” Joe had shed his aggressive, mall rampaging persona, replacing it with a polished, gentlemanly facade. It was hard to believe this was the same man who slapped his son to the ground in public. “Yeah, my parents are off traveling. I mostly stay at school, so this house is pretty much empty except for when I drop by.” Joe’s enthusiasm dimmed a little when he realized my mom wasn’t around. “Well, Amy, don’t you worry. That punk of a son of mine and that… that girl…” He trailed off, looking at me in confusion. I dabbed at the corners of my eyes, where no real tears existed, and softly reminded him, “Mia.” “Yes, Mia! That’s right. Anyway, I’m here to tell you that there’s no way James and Mia will ever work out. I won’t let that conniving woman set foot in my house.” “Joe, maybe
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 9
I had hired the best private investigator, Chris Barnes, to follow Mia, who delivered plenty of photos. Mia accepting a check from Joe. Mia boarding a plane to leave the country. James frantically searching for Mia. Photo after photo confirmed that everything was unfolding just as I had planned. I was still James’s girlfriend while Mia, now far away, had become the one that got away. Soon, our engagement ceremony arrived. My dad came to the event, but my mom didn’t. I had asked her not to attend. The union of the two most prominent families in Alberia dominated the society pages, plastered across full spreads in the newspapers. In public, I continued to play the role of James’ devoted fiancée, head-over-heels in love with him. Four years flew by. After we graduated, both James and I joined our respective family businesses. Perhaps time really did heal all wounds, or at least dims them. Mia, once the glowing light in James’ heart, had started to fade i
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 10
I made sure Mia, now living abroad, heard about my upcoming wedding to James. Along with the news, I let it slip how James still saw her as the unattainable dream he couldn’t forget. As expected, she couldn’t take it. Mia came back. The moment James found out, he rushed to the airport to meet her. My top-tier private investigator, Chris, was back on the job, shadowing them closely. It had been three years since they’d last seen each other, and Mia had transformed. Her long, silky black hair framed her face, and her floral maxi dress gave her a radiant, reborn aura. James was awestruck, genuinely captivated by the elegant woman standing before him. “Mia, you look so beautiful with long hair.” Mia blushed, leaning shyly into his embrace. “James, I’ve been dreaming of the day we’d finally be together. I worked so hard, studying and improving myself, thinking that maybe one day, I’d be worthy of standing by your side.” Her eyes sparkled with hope. She was despe

Chris handed me a stack of photos. “Miss Moore, this guy catches a whiff of temptation and forgets he’s a taken man. Honestly, you still want someone like him?” I flipped through the photos nonchalantly, leaning against the armrest of the sofa with one hand propping up my chin. Smirking, I glanced at him. “Sounds like you’ve got some strong opinions about him?” Chris adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with a feigned air of indifference before replying calmly, “Not at all. I’m just raising an objective, unbiased concern.” Watching him deliver this nonsense with such a serious expression, I couldn’t hold back a laugh. When I first hired him four years ago, I knew he had talent. Who knew he had such a witty personality under the surface all this time?

My name is James Jonas. Thanks to my strikingly good looks, I was voted the campus heartthrob of our department. However, for some inexplicable reason, no girls ever wanted to approach me. It frustrated me to no end. How could a guy as handsome as me, the epitome of charm, fail to attract any admirers? Eventually, I resigned myself to hanging out with my buddies all the time. I convinced myself that my brilliance intimidated girls into thinking they weren't good enough. That was until I saw her. A girl from a neighboring department, with a bright smile and an even brighter personality. In that instant, I understood everything. If girls wouldn’t come to me, I’d just have to chase one down myself. My circle of friends, including my best friend Mia, fully supported my decision. In fact, Mia was the one who gave me the best advice. However, after I started dating Amy, Mia began acting strange, always looking at me like she wanted to say something but never did

My parents returned after finishing their world tour. “Oh my goodness! You always told us you were just busy learning how to manage the company these past years. How on earth did you manage to get married, divorced, and even reclaim what your grandfather left me?” Mom pulled me into a warm hug and kissed me on the cheek. “My precious girl, don’t shoulder everything yourself next time, okay? Your father and I aren’t as useless as you think.” By the time she finished, tears were streaming down her face. Dad, who had finally pieced together the entire story, stood there looking like a fool. Realization hit him like a ton of bricks, and he pulled my mom into a tight embrace. “I didn’t know he treated you like that back then. I should’ve been there for you both. I didn’t do enough. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!” He then started crying, too. It ended up being me who had to comfort both of them. “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ve already handled everything. Don’t worry about
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 17
Mia’s child had just turned one month old. By then, my battle with Joe had reached its peak. In the middle of the chaos, I found time to finalize my divorce with James. Then, I filed an official report accusing Joe of embezzling company funds and using the corporation to cover up illegal overseas transactions. Joe was arrested. As for Mia, she finally got what she wanted—marrying James. Their child had already started preschool by the time news of their struggles spread. The two lived a miserable life. Neither worked, as Mia claimed she was too busy taking care of their child, and James said he was too ashamed to face the outside world. Every day, they argued over trivial matters.
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 16
The wedding didn’t happen in the end. James outright refused to acknowledge Mia’s baby, which sent her into a fit of hysterics. By the time blood started pooling on the floor, James finally snapped out of it and rushed Mia to the hospital. Joe, watching my outwardly sorrowful expression, stood in silence for a long time. “This was your plan all along, wasn’t it?” I bowed my head, not saying a word. My silence was enough. “Amy, you look beautiful in that wedding dress.” He looked sadly at me as he said this. The unexpected compliment left me momentarily stunned. Before I could respond, Joe turned and walked away. He must have finally realized the extent of my plans and was rushing back to the company to make an emergency move. However, I was prepared. Joe had hidden a portion of the Jonases’ shares in the shadows, hoping to use them as leverage against me. Fortunately, I had anticipated this long ago. Over the past months, I’d been quietly purchasing share
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 15
A month and a half passed in the blink of an eye. On the day of the wedding, the whole city’s eyes were on the union of the Moores and Jonases. The grand ceremony was like a dream brought to life. Jewels were glinting under the light, and champagne flowed like rivers. “Joe, congratulations! This marriage is a power move, no doubt!” Various influential guests approached Joe to offer their well-wishes. As for my parents? Well, their island-hopping trip had left them conveniently stranded on some remote beach. They couldn’t have made it back even if they tried. The ceremony progressed smoothly. The priest guided James and me through our vows. We were just about to exchange rings when— “Stop! I object!” The shout came from a heavily pregnant woman bursting through the doors, clutching a megaphone and shouting at the top of her lungs. Her dramatic entrance froze the entire venue. “Who… who is she?” whispered a curious guest. “I think she’s that woman who was
No Mercy for the Unfaithful Chapter 14
Joe wasted no time. Within a month, he had drawn up a transfer agreement. The condition was clear: if James acted against the marriage in any way, the contract would activate. James, of course, didn’t want to marry me. However, now he was trapped. If he refused, he’d lose his position as the Jonas heir. Mia, on the other hand, had vanished. No one knew where she had gone. James suspected his father had hidden her away, but he didn’t dare confront Joe about it. Meanwhile, my family’s company hit a rough patch, and by the time I sorted it out, half a year had flown by. With my parents off traveling the world, they entrusted me fully with the company. In the midst of it all, Joe chose an auspicious day, and James and I quietly registered our marriage. The wedding ceremony was set for a month and a half later. Joe explained that the custom-made wedding gown he’d ordered for me from abroad would take precisely that long to finish. James, meanwhile, was a

“What are you talking about?” Joe said, reaching over to wipe my tears. Through the watery blur, I caught a glimpse of something unsettling in his eyes—an unhealthy obsession, a madness barely concealed. My hands clenched tightly behind me. How disgusting! Was he trying to replace my mother with me in his twisted mind? I quickly turned my head, taking a step back. “James loves Mia more than he loves me. If I marry him, how can I guarantee my children would have a father’s undivided love?” Joe’s gaze lingered on my pale neck without shame, his voice unnervingly gentle as he said, “Then tell me, Amy, what will it take for you to agree to marry James?” “I don’t want to marry James! I don’t love him anymore!” “That’s not it.” His tone grew even softer. “Have you forgotten how deeply you love him, Amy? You’re just upset right now. You love him, so you must marry him!” Tears streamed down my face. “I won’t do it! Marrying him will only end in divorce. That’s wor

Just as I expected, James and Mia became even more entangled in their affair. Eventually, they ended up in bed together. That night, I brought Joe to the hotel where they were staying. Inside, we heard the faint rustling of clothes being hurriedly put on. By the time we walked in, the bed was empty except for James, who was fumbling to button up his pants. Tsk. He’d been sneaking around with Mia so often that it was no surprise. The once vibrant face I’d known was now pale and gaunt. I couldn’t bear to look at him.“Slap!”The sharp sound of Joe’s hand meeting James’s cheek echoed through the room. “Thud!”James crumpled to the floor from the sheer force of it. “Hasn’t Amy been good to you? You’re about to marry her, and you’re sneaking around with another woman!” “Dad, I…” James tried to defend himself, but it was too late. “Slap!”Another blow landed. Joe was livid, his fury radiating through the room. It seemed like he was about to grab a chair an
