Built Like Karma: The Plus Size Girl's Guide to Comeuppance
“Bro, it’s not a big deal. I’m just fucking her.”
My heart stopped.
Kendall’s voice replied, “But man, what would people think if you made her your girl? That’d be crazy work.”
“I’m not stupid,” Jalen said flatly. “I’d never make her mine. It’s only sex, nothing more. And honestly? It’s not that good anymore. I was gonna let her down easy before break.”
......
Aria, a plus-size beauty, thought her scholarship and condo arrangements were a dream until she met her roommate, Talia. Rich, spoiled, and instantly cruel, Talia made Aria's life miserable.
Talia’s new boyfriend, Jalen, was the campus golden boy. When Aria and Jalen were paired for a project, they clicked in ways neither expected from late night talks to shared secrets and undeniable sexual chemistry.
On Halloween night, during an all campus party, Aria sees Talia cheating on Jalen. One emotional night led to an affair that changed everything… until Jalen says some really damaging words to his roommate that were unforgivable and also heard by a once happy but now upset Aria. Disappointed, fed up, and heartbroken, Aria leaves campus and never looks back.
TEN YEARS LATER
Aria returns for the ten year reunion, confident, stunning, and a self-made CEO. Jalen is still gorgeous… but stuck in a miserable marriage with Talia.
She ignores him. Talia tries to humiliate her. Aria wins the room.
As she leaves, Jalen kisses her. She lets herself feel it, then slaps him and walks away.
THE BUSINESS MERGER
Jalen’s cruise line needs Aria’s brand to revamp their image. She agrees, reluctantly.
Now they’re forced to work side by side, trapped between old wounds and new sparks.
Some love stories never die. But some can burn you twice.

Chapter: Final ChapterFive Years LaterThird-Person POVFive years later, she sighed as she packed up all five of their children for the birthday party.Yes, all five.After the triplets, they were done. Completely done. She had told Jalen that lovingly and firmly: they had started having babies in their thirties, and they were finishing in their thirties. That was that.Now the triplets were officially five years old. Elliot was six, turning seven. Levi was eight, turning nine. And this year, for the first time, every single one of them would be in all-day school.Thank you, God.She stood in the bedroom doorway while Jalen walked in and said, with mock seriousness, “Okay, everyone is dressed. They color-coded everything the way you like. The twins insisted on their skirts. Their brother chose shorts. All plaid. Coordinated to death.”She exhaled slowly. “Jalen, you know how to dress our children. I don’t see the problem.”“Let’s just look at them,” he said, raising his voice. “Abigail! Arthur! Ariah! Le

We’re building a house, right, Levi?”She nods fast. “Yes, Daddy. Big house for you.”Aria’s whole face softens. “Oh my cute girl.”Levi looks just like her mama with long thick curls, full lashes, that warm tan skin. My heart doesn’t stand a chance.

The baby hadn’t dropped, hadn’t budged, hadn’t given even the smallest hint of an exit strategy out of her body.She stopped in the hallway, one hand pressed to her lower back, the other cradling her rounded belly.“Why don’t you want to come out?” she muttered. “I know this world is messy, but I need my body back, baby.”From the living room, her mother burst out laughing.“What in the hell do you have on, girl?”Aria looked down at the oversized floral gown. “This is what a stylist for older women would call a moo-moo.”Lucy cackled. “Not a moo-moo!”“Yes a fucking ugly ass moo-moo.

None of it compared to this.This was torture.Bent forward, one hand braced against her lower back, she waddled toward the porch while her grandmother clutched the hospital bags and Tony sprinted ahead to the car in a full panic.“Hold on, child, he’s coming,” her grandmother kept saying, tightening her grip around Talia’s arm as another contraction hit.Tony pulled the car so close to the porch it was a miracle he didn’t take out the steps. He jumped out and ran to her.“I’m coming, baby, I’m coming!”Before she could protest, he scooped her up bridal style.“Shit, this hurts,” she groaned.“Well,” he said breathlessly, trying to joke through his fear, “my mama says when you’re having a baby you got one foot i

For a second, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to gather myself. Then I glance over and see Sienna, finally sleeping peacefully for the first time in days. Her breathing is soft, her face calm.I hate that I have to wake her, but it’s another workday, and we can’t be late. She’s been through so much lately, and this bastard who won’t leave her alone?

I rush toward it and stumble into what looks like a garage.But when I turn around, there’s nothing. Just blackness swallowing everything. A sound cuts through the air, a baby crying. My heart pounds faster as I spin in circles, trying to find it. “Hello?” My voice cracks. The crying grows louder. I look down, and there’s nothing. No baby, no light, no walls.

I told her it’s pretty similar to soul food, but with an Asian twist. You know, lechon which is fried pork is very similar to how we fry pork chops. Anyway, after we wrapped up eating, I started washing the dishes.I could see she was drained, hell, worried, even. The worry sat heavily on her face, and I knew I had to make sure she was okay. If she’s not okay, then the baby’s not okay. But if she’s good, then the baby’s good. She’s been through a lot lately, and I really don’t think she should go to work tomorrow.But of course, as hardheaded as she is, I already knew she was going to work tomorrow.I sighed, turned around while drying off one of the plates, and said, “Sienna, I think you should stay home.”She shook her head immediately. “No, Knox, I’m going to work.”I sighed again, turning to grab another plate. “You have to rest.

Every time we fall asleep, he wraps around me like I’m something precious he refuses to let go of. It’s his way of making sure I feel safe, of reminding me that I’m protected, no matter what’s happening outside these four walls.I glance at the clock. “Shit,” I mumble. “We slept late.”It’s after three in the afternoon, and he’s still out cold.Maybe it’s everything weighing on us from the assault, the case, the baby, all the chaos. It’s like life’s been throwing punches nonstop, and the exhaustion finally caught up with us.I sigh and try to wiggle out of his grip, but his arms only tighten.

A live quartet played mellow renditions of love songs while servers in crisp white passed silver trays laden with hors d'oeuvres.The newlyweds were introduced to raucous applause. Sadé and Adamo entered hand in hand, glowing beneath a delicate arch of flowers arranged behind their private sweetheart table. The backdrop was an explosion of ivory roses, coral peonies, and lavender orchids that smelled like a midsummer dream.

Chapter: Epilogue 2 The Wedding The Shedd Aquarium sparkled in the late afternoon sun, casting shimmering waves of light through its glass walls as the wedding guests found their seats.

This was a celebration of love, reborn, and family redefined.Sadé stood poised behind a veil of coral-colored silk, her heart steady, her breath calm. She could hear the rustle of guests and the subtle soundtrack of strings drifting over the aquatic ambiance. From the glowing jellyfish behind glass to the quiet bubbling of tanks filled with vibrant sea life, the setting was almost ethereal.Daisy, the flower girl, toddled out first, scattering soft white petals across the mosaic-tiled path. Her curls bounced as she walked, her tiny seafoam-green dress fluttering.

This was a celebration for Daisy and Dominic, who were officially turning two, and no expense had been spared.Contrary to popular belief, Marco had changed.

I want you to be okay. I want to take care of you. The doctor said stress can cause complications, and this pregnancy has been smooth so far, and I want to keep it that way.”She exhaled, her breath fogging the window beside her. “I know.”A red light forced them to stop.
