When will my mate find me

Imagine the shock that washed over Emma like a tidal wave as she stepped into the dimly lit bedroom after a long, exhausting day. Her heart raced when she saw her fiancé of three years, Vick, tangled in the sheets with another woman-naked and entangled in a passionate embrace. But it wasn't just any woman; it was her best friend, Mia. The betrayal cut deeper than any knife could.

A whirlwind of emotions surged through Emma-hurt, confusion, and a nagging doubt about where she had gone wrong in her role as a girlfriend. She had always considered herself a proud and strong-willed woman who would not tolerate betrayal or nonsense. But this? This was a whole new level of treachery.

"Emma, wait! It's not what it looks like!" Vick stammered, fumbling to pull on his trousers, his eyes wild with panic. He sounded desperate, like a cornered animal. 

"Oh really, Vick?" Mia chimed in, a smug smile playing on her lips. "You're going with that excuse? I seduced you? Are you sure about that?" 

"Will you shut the hell up?" Vick barked at her, frustration spilling over as he turned back to Emma, his expression one of pleading. 

Before he could finish his sentence, Emma's palm struck his cheek with a sharp crack, the sound echoing in the heavy silence of the room. Vick stood there, his eyes wide with shock- Emma had never before laid a hand on him in anger.

"Tell me, how long has she been seducing you to get you to this point? Were you too drunk to recall?" Emma's voice was icy, her eyes blazing with fury.

"Good question, Emma. Maybe you should ask him," Mia interjected, her tone dripping with sarcasm. Vick opened his mouth to respond, but no words came, leaving him in a stunned silence. Emma turned her furious gaze to Mia, her best friend of 15 years, now turned rival.

"Wow, Mia. You think you're clever? You thought this was cute? You went after my fiancé just because he chose me? How pathetic. You've destroyed our friendship for what? A scumbag like him?" Emma spat the words like poison, disgust flooding her voice.

"No, Emma, you're the one who disgusts me!" Mia shot back, her face twisting in anger. "You were never a true friend! Do you remember that day when we first met him at that eatery? I told you I was interested in him, and you still went after him a year later. You didn't care about my feelings, so why should I care about yours?"

Emma shook her head, laughter tinged with pain escaping her lips as she turned back to Vick. "I've never cheated on you, Vick! I've dedicated myself to this relationship. I've sacrificed time and energy to help grow your company. I just landed a significant deal with our top investor, and I came here to celebrate- only to find you in bed with my best friend! How could you betray me so easily?"

Vick interrupted, frustration surging through him. "It wasn't just hearsay, Emma. There's evidence. You cheated on me, too!"

"What are you talking about?" Emma's heart raced as he tossed a stack of photos at her, the images fluttering to the ground like fallen leaves.

"See this?" Vick shouted, his emotions boiling over. "Someone sent these to me anonymously. That's you, caught in the act with another man!"

Emma's eyes widened as she studied the first image- a blurry face capturing a moment of intimacy, followed by another of her about to enter a hotel room, with hands all over her.
