REJECTED ME BUT KARMA CAME FOR YOU Losing Ground
The subpoena had felt, for a few days, like something Olivia could hold onto — proof, finally, that someone besides her own small circle believed something wrong had happened to her. She spent the week before her statement preparing with Patricia, going over every detail she could remember, bracing herself to say it all out loud under oath.The call came the morning before she was scheduled to appear."They're closing the inquiry," Patricia said, and Olivia could hear the frustration she was trying to keep out of her voice. "Insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges. The prosecutor's office says the toxicology alone isn't enough without an identified suspect, and the hotel's security footage wasn't conclusive."Olivia sat down slowly at her kitchen table. "That's it? After everything?""I don't like it either," Patricia said. "This came together fast, faster than these things usually move. I can't prove it, but a case like this doesn't just quietly evaporate in five days withou
REJECTED ME BUT KARMA CAME FOR YOU Pulling The Thread
Olivia sat at Patricia's conference table the next morning, a fresh cup of coffee going cold in front of her, untouched. She hadn't slept much. Every time she closed her eyes she saw those photographs again, the wrongness of them, the way her own face looked like something borrowed and worn by someone else."I want to fight this," she said finally. "Not just quietly, behind closed doors. I want people to know I didn't do what those photos say I did."Patricia nodded slowly. "We can request the hotel's security footage. If someone drugged you and staged that room, there should be a record of them coming and going. We can also push for a formal statement addressing the sedatives found in your bloodwork — that alone raises serious questions the public deserves to hear.""And if it points back to Richard?" Olivia asked."Then it points back to Richard," Patricia said simply. "I don't care whose name is on the building downtown. If he did this to you, I intend to prove it."Emma, sitting a
REJECTED ME BUT KARMA CAME FOR YOU The Photographs
Olivia woke up with a headache and a ceiling she didn't know.For a minute she just lay there, trying to figure out where she was. A hotel room. Sunlight was coming through the curtains, too bright, like it was stabbing at her eyes. Her mouth was dry. She sat up too fast and the room spun a little, her stomach turning."Room 412," she said out loud, just to hear something. Bits and pieces came back to her — the empty room, a hand over her mouth, something that smelled like chemicals. And then nothing. Just a blank space where hours of her life should have been.That blank space scared her more than anything else. She'd always trusted her own memory. Now there was a door in her mind that just wouldn't open, and behind it, she had no idea what had happened to her while she wasn't there to stop it.Her phone sat on the nightstand, almost dead, with twenty-three missed calls. Emma. Nathan Parker. Emma again, calling over and over, the kind of thing you do when you're really scared. Olivia
REJECTED ME BUT KARMA CAME FOR YOU The Meeting That Wasn't
The message arrived on Olivia's phone just after eight in the evening, from a number she didn't recognize.**I know things about the Walker family that could change everything for you. Meet me at the Sheridan Hotel, room 412, tonight. Come alone.**Olivia stared at it for a long moment, her thumb hovering over the delete button. She'd learned, in the past two weeks, to be suspicious of anonymous messages — after everything that had already surfaced through a single unknown number at that dinner table, she'd developed a wary instinct around texts like this, some quiet caution she'd never had reason to carry before.She almost dismissed it entirely. Then a second message arrived.**Ask your attorney about a shipping contract signed in London two weeks ago. Ask her why Richard cut his trip short the same week your marriage collapsed. The timing isn't a coincidence, and I can prove it.**Olivia's breath caught. She'd wondered about that timing herself — the strange, precise coincidence of
REJECTED ME BUT KARMA CAME FOR YOU Choosing Sides
Chloe woke before dawn, the ceiling fan spinning slow shadows across the bedroom, Richard's parting words still looping through her mind. *I trust you'll make the right decision.* She lay there for a long time with her hand resting against the small curve of her stomach, the one steady point in a life that felt like it was collapsing from every direction at once.*Whatever I decide,* she thought, *it has to be for this baby. Not for Ryan. Not for either of them.*By the time the sun had fully risen, she still hadn't decided anything.Samantha's message arrived just after nine, short and pointed. **You've gone quiet. That usually means something happened.**Chloe stared at it for a long moment before typing back. **Meet me. Now.**They met at the same waterfront café, though this time Chloe arrived first, already seated when Samantha slid into the chair across from her, sharp eyes reading the tension in Chloe's posture before either of them said a word."Richard came to see me," Chloe
REJECTED ME BUT KARMA CAME FOR YOU Caught
Richard moved through Chloe's apartment with the unhurried confidence of a man who'd never once in his life worried about being unwelcome, glancing briefly at the furniture, the framed photographs, the small domestic details of a life he clearly found unremarkable. He settled into the armchair by the window without waiting to be offered a seat, crossing one leg over the other, and studied Chloe for a long moment before he spoke."Sit down," he said. "You look like you're about to bolt."Chloe stayed standing near the door, her arms crossed tightly over herself. "What do you want, Mr. Walker?""Richard," he corrected, though there was none of the earlier warmth from the garden left in his voice. "I want to talk to you honestly, Chloe, because I don't think anyone in your life has managed that with you in quite some time." He let the silence stretch a moment before continuing. "I know about New York."The words landed like a physical blow. Chloe's arms tightened further around herself,
