Built Like Karma: The Plus Size Girl's Guide to Comeuppance Chapter 139 Baby Shower part 1
ARIA’S POVI’m stretched out across the bed, phone hovering inches from my face, mindlessly scrolling through social media like that’s somehow going to calm my nerves. It never does. Especially not when I already know how Jalen is. Especially not when I already know what kind of night this could turn into if I let my guard slip.And I’m not doing that.Not here.Not in my sister’s house.I shake my head to myself and let out a quiet laugh, feeling ridiculous, it's not like I’m fifteen again instead of a grown-ass woman well into my thirties. I drop my phone onto the mattress just as the door creaks open, followed immediately by a low, masculine groan.I don’t even have to look, because I already know who it is.I bury my face into the mattress, muffling a smile before it can betray me. The bed dips behind me, and then, smack.My hand flies back as I twist onto my side, shooting him a sharp scowl.“Really?” I snap.Jalen just grins, slow and sinful, eyes dragging over me like he’s undr

Talia’s POVI wake up Saturday morning feeling smug as hell.I damn sure relieved, and grateful, because when those accounts were frozen, I panicked, but I moved that money in time. I made sure I wasn’t left broke, stupid, or cornered. I sigh, rolling out of bed, padding into my bathroom like everything is still mine.Because it should be.Amy’s gone. That fucking traitor. That fake ass loyal bitch who wanted to act like she wasn’t enjoying every damn benefit that came with being in my orbit. I already put out an ad for a new assistant, this time, strictly business. She will have no personal access and definitely no emotional entitlement. Boundaries will be in place.Something Amy clearly couldn’t handle.I take care of my business in the bathroom, shower fast and scrub hard like I can wash the anxiety off my skin. I fix my hair, brush my teeth, do my makeup with precision, no shaking hands, and no smudges. By the time I slide back into my silk robe, I look like myself again.Contro

Aria’s POVAs I stand there in the foyer, facing the open path toward the backyard, I watch something unfold that I never, I mean never, would have put on my bingo card.Big Tuck is emotionally breaking down.He's not yelling. Not raging. Not pacing the floor with clipped commands and contingency plans.He is literally breaking.My heart physically aches in my chest as I watch this giant of a man crumble in front of all of us. A man who has always been steady, calculated, and strong. The kind of man who built something from nothing, who wanted more for his sons than he ever had, who made sure his children could grow families of their own without fear of instability.And now he’s standing here realizing that the woman he once believed was right for his son, the woman he trusted enough to bring into his family, was the one who robbed him blind.Not just financially, but emotionally, and structurally at the foundation.I glance at Jalen and his brothers, and the look on their faces guts

Jalen’s POVBy the time Friday starts dragging its feet toward the end of the day, I find myself smiling for no real reason at all. One of those quiet, private smiles, you know the kind you don’t mean to show, but it slips out anyway. Soon, I’ll be divorced. Soon, Talia will be out of my life for good, and all I could say was good riddens. I lean back in my chair, and stare up at the ceiling, and mutter, “Thank you, God.”For once, something actually feels like it’s going right.Not perfect, no never perfect, but much better.We’re still dealing with the fallout of someone siphoning millions from the company. Fifteen million is the number we’ve been saying out loud, the one we’re letting the attorneys and accountants wrestle with, but deep down, I don’t believe that’s the real number. Not with Talia. Not with her habits, her access, her entitlement. Fifteen feels like the appetizer, not the main course.Our vendors are nervous, because their payments are delayed, phones are ringing n

Aria’s POVBy the time Friday rolls around, I am done.I'm not tired, not overwhelmed.Just done.So I decide to take a half day, grab my overnight bag, and head over to Amara’s place to put the final touches on this baby shower that has somehow become the bane of my entire existence.I swear we’ve been working on this thing for months, though realistically, it’s only been about three weeks. Still, it feels like forever.Balloon artist is booked.Tent, chairs, tables are all set for a 6 a.m. setup with an 11 p.m. pickup.Food vendors are all onfirmed.Centerpieces are done and boxed.The theme even evolved, because of course it did.We started with lavender and sage green, soft and simple. Now it’s turned into “Guess Who’s Coming?”, still lavender and sage, but layered with white and just enough gold to make it feel elevated instead of extra.It’s going to be beautiful.I just want it over.As I finish up some emails, Vlade steps into my office.“What’s up, man?” I ask, stretching bac

Talia’s POVTuesday MorningI wake up to my phone buzzing on the nightstand.Not the gentle kind either.The angry, persistent vibration that makes your stomach tighten before your brain even catches up.I groan, roll onto my side, and grab it without opening my eyes.Bank Alert.My eyes snap open.“What the hell…?”I squint at the screen, thumb already moving as I unlock my phone.Account Status: Frozen.Reason: Under Review.I sit straight up in bed.“No. No, no, no, what in the fuck?”I open the banking app so fast my fingers almost trip over themselves. I refresh. Then refresh again. The screen doesn’t change.Frozen.Unavailable.Transactions disabled.My chest tightens.“This is a business account,” I mutter to myself. “Not my personal one.”Then, relief hits, sharp and brief.Good.I already moved some money over.I exhale slowly, forcing myself not to panic as I hit Call Bank.“Thank you for calling US Bankers ”“Hi,” I cut in sharply, already irritated. “My name is Talia Todd
