Karma's POV

The burnt smell still lingered faintly in the apartment even after Noah had opened every window in the kitchen.

"I really don't think that pot can still be saved," he said, dropping it into the sink.

I folded my arms with a dramatic sigh.

"Of course it should be saved, but if not, then we can say it sacrificed itself for the sake of our love."

He laughed. "It sacrificed itself because you forgot it on the stove."

"I was distracted."

"By what?"

"Trying to get the recipe and you I gu

  • Dr. KILLER    Chapter 90

    Karma's POVI woke up to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. For a few seconds, I simply stared at the ceiling, trying to remember where I was. It came back to me after a while,l, ten I turned my head to see Noah still asleep beside me.His face was unusually peaceful, his breathing slow and steady. One arm was stretched across the empty space where I had been sleeping, as though even in his sleep, he had been searching for me. I smiled.Today was his birthday. And for the first time since I had known him, I was determined to make sure he remembered it for something other than the fact that he hated celebrating it.Carefully, I slipped out of bed, I made my way into the kitchen and decided to prepare something simple. I wasn't about to attempt another complicated meal after the pasta disaster I'd created before, but at least last night's meal came out nice.I settled for a light breakfast, something warm and filling enough to start his morning without making him fee

  • Dr. KILLER    Chapter 89

    Karma's POVBy the time Noah finally returned home, I had already been in his kitchen for almost an hour.And I was beginning to question every decision that had led me there.Cooking had always been one of those things I appreciated more when someone else was doing it.I could perform a complicated surgery without blinking, make decisions in seconds when someone's life was hanging in the balance and manage an entire hospital without breaking a sweat.But put me in front of a pot of food? Suddenly, I was fighting for my life.I stared at the recipe on my phone. "Okay..." I looked at the ingredients spread across the kitchen counter."Jollof rice, grilled chicken and fried plantain." That sounded easy enough, well it wasn't.I had already searched three different recipes and somehow each one gave completely different instructions.One said to fry the tomato paste first, another said to blend everything together and a third insisted that I needed to roast the peppers before blending the

  • Dr. KILLER    Chapter 88

    Karma's POVThe morning before Noah's birthday began like every other workday. At least, that was what I wanted everyone to believe.I arrived at the hospital shortly after eight, parked my car and made my way into the building with my handbag hanging from my shoulder and a cup of coffee in my hand.Sandra was already waiting for me outside my office. "Good morning, Doctor.""Good morning." She followed me inside, holding my schedule."You have three patients for consultations this morning, two postoperative reviews and your afternoon rounds." I nodded as I placed my bag on the chair."Anything urgent?""Nothing so far.""Good."She handed me the first file. I glanced through it before looking up at her."And Sandra?""Yes?""I won't be here tomorrow."She frowned."Tomorrow?""Yes.""Saturday?" I nodded.She studied me suspiciously. "Why?" I tried not to smile. "I have somewhere important to be."Her eyes narrowed. "Somewhere important?""Very.""Are you finally telling me what you'v

  • Dr. KILLER    Chapter 87

    Noah's POVBirthdays had never meant much to me.I had learned that at an early age.Some people looked forward to their birthdays months in advance. They made plans, booked restaurants, invited friends, bought new clothes and counted down the days until they could celebrate another year of being alive. I had never understood the excitement.For me, it had always been just another date on the calendar, another day, year and another reminder that time kept moving whether I wanted it to or not.Tomorrow was my birthday.I knew that because my mother had mentioned it several times over the past few weeks, even though she hadn't mentioned it, I would have still known it because of him.Ethan had also made some careless remark about it recently, though I had ignored him.I hadn't told Karma, there was no point.She had enough things to worry about without adding a birthday celebration to the list. Besides, I wasn't expecting anything. I never did.I sat behind my desk, staring at the repor

  • Dr. KILLER    Chapter 86

    Karma's POVI ended up staying at Yvonne's house much longer than I had intended.What was supposed to be a quick stop by, after dropping them off, stretched into almost three hours, yet somehow, it still didn't feel like enough.After lunch, Auntie Grace insisted on doing the dishes. I volunteered to help, but she shunned me. After which she and Yvonne took turns sharing stories about Dami. Some of them made us laugh until tears gathered in our eyes, while others left an ache in my chest that I doubted would ever completely disappear.For the first time in years, remembering Dami didn't feel like reopening a wound.It felt like honoring her. I found myself smiling more than crying. Maybe healing wasn't forgetting, maybe it was learning to remember without breaking apart.By the time I stood to leave, the afternoon sun had begun its slow descent. Yvonne walked me to the front door despite my protests."You should be resting.""I've rested enough in that hospital bed," she replied with

  • Dr. KILLER    Chapter 85

    Karma's POVI stared at Yvonne after asking the question that had been tormenting me for weeks. "Won't he one day wake up and leave?"The room became so quiet that I could hear the ticking of the wall clock. Yvonne didn't answer immediately.She simply looked at me, really looked at me, as though she was trying to understand why a woman who had become one of the country's finest surgeons could ask such a fragile question. Then she smiled, a sad, understanding smile."Marriage is a funny thing, Little Karma." I lowered my eyes. "I don't think anyone enters marriage with a guarantee."She leaned back gently on the sofa. "There isn't a manual that tells you your spouse will never hurt you. There isn't a contract that promises your marriage will last forever." She chuckled softly. "If there were, my ex, Williams and I would probably still be married."I looked back at her. "You loved him.""I did.""And he loved me too." She sighed. "But sometimes love alone isn't enough." I listened quie

    Chapter 5The police car smelled like stale coffee and leather.Karma sat in the back seat, hands folded in her lap, watching the city pass through the tinted window. Buildings blurred into each other. Traffic lights, people walking in a hurry, an old woman walking a dog almost like she was crawli

    Rosa's cleaning supplies fell to the floor and scattered. The spray bottle rolled across the carpet, leaving a trail of blue liquid running through the blood.The sound tore from her chest, echoing everywhere, filling the hallway as the once rowdy, loud and dirty hotel became empty that morning. S

    Karma sat back in her booth, lifted her untouched drink, and watched her father drain his fourth glass of whiskey.Mia walked fast.She changed into something tighter—a red dress that barely covered anything. Reapplied her lipstick. Sprayed more perfume. Then catwalked straight to Marcus's table, l

  • Dr. KILLER    Chapter 2

    Karma stood up so fast her chair had scraped against the floor. "Nurse," she called, stepping into the hallway. "I need you in here with the patient. Don't leave him alone. Not for any reason, not even if this building was collapsing."The nurse nodded and went inside.Karma walked straight to her
