The Karma Contract Chapter 9
Remi POV It took everything I had to walk away instead of beating him to a pulp like I wanted to. Who did he think he was, coming here and saying those thing to my wife? And she just smiled as he said them. She didn’t even stop him, or correct him, she just smiled. I sat in the car for 20 minutes calming myself, hoping she would come outside so we could talk about what him being here meant for us, but she never did. Ricky came out to check the mail and saw me sitting there, so he came over to tell me what she had said after I walked out. She would deal with me at home tonight, like I was some sort of burden that she’d picked up since she left him. That’s what I get after everything. For years I sat on the sidelines, loving her quietly while never saying anything, afraid of how Robbie might act if he found out. Yea, I had loved her, but it wasn’t worth losing my best friend over, so I just ignored the feelings I had for her. I didn’t want any of her family members t

Rozelynn POV I dreaded going home. I knew it was going to be a fight, and I didn’t want to fight about it. I didn’t ask for Nick to show up here, but he did, now I had to deal with it. It really wasn’t that complicated, but Remi was going to complicate it, because that’s what he did. That was one of the main differences between him and Nick. Remi always wanted to know the why’s, how’s, and logistics of everything, especially my thoughts and feelings, whereas all Nick would have only needed to hear that I was his wife, and nothing changed that. I suppose that was because Nick had a confidence about him that Remi didn’t. Remi was confident, sure, but not like Nick. I only had myself to blame for that though. He had been in love with me for years, and I had just used it to my own advantage instead of pursuing something serious with him. I was to blame for his insecurities, and I knew that, but I had been so young when I first realized he was in love with me. But, he had always been the

Rozelynn POV “Rozelynn, Rozelynn, wake up.” Remi’s voice invaded my ears as he nudged my leg. I couldn’t tell you how long I’d actually slept for, but I knew it was morning as I heard his voice invading the nothingness that had overtaken my body and mind. “I’m up, I’m up.” I mumbled as I pushed back against his nudges. I didn’t particularly want him touching me, especially after the doubt he had filled me with last night. I crawled from my safe space to see him peering down at me, guilt evident in his eyes. He knew that his words had driven me into my safe haven, and he was feeling guilty for it, but I wouldn’t give him the relief of my forgiveness. He reached down to help me up, but I pushed his arm away, choosing to struggle to my feet on my own. I wouldn’t have time for yoga this morning, so I would be stiff all day, especially my hip, but I didn’t care. I still didn’t want his help, I didn’t even want to look at him, knowing that I would
The Karma Contract Chapter 12
Nick POV I had a surprisingly busy day as I explored this little town but was quite disappointed when I hadn’t seen or heard from Lyvie all day. I knew she had work to do though, so I didn’t let it deter my enthusiasm for picking up Selah from school with her this afternoon. I had hoped I would get the chance to see her farm, but when I called the number for the tour that was on the pamphlet I found in the lobby of the bed and breakfast, the machine said there would be no tours this week. I had really wanted to check it out, knowing it would one day pass to Selah. At least I would get to see the restaurant and bar before I left town. I had lunch at a small café in the center of town, where everyone seemed to stare at me. I smiled politely but honestly it made me a little uncomfortable. No doubt these people weren’t used to seeing strangers in their small community, but if these people were staring at me like this, I had to wonder how much business the bed & breakf
The Karma Contract Chapter 13
Nick POV A silver truck sat in the circular driveway in front of the house as we pulled into the 4 car garage that sat on its right side. Once inside we all loaded out of the car, and I unbuckled Selah and pulled her from her car seat. I couldn’t deny that the house was beautiful and knew that this was what my ex-wife had always dreamed of when she begged me to sell the townhouse. She had wanted space for our children to run around and play outside, but the townhouse didn’t allow that. Ryleigh made her way to the door of the garage that entered to the house as Selah and I followed. I was carrying Selah’s school bag as I followed closely behind her, noticing Lyvie’s SUV parked in the first spot in the garage. Ryleigh opened the door to a mud room where the conversation that was happening in the kitchen could be heard. There was an argument happening, though I wasn’t sure who she was arguing with, I could hear Lyvie’s voice sounding frustrated as she spoke. “Last t
The Karma Contract Chapter 14
Rozelynn POV I dropped Selah off at school and came home to change this morning before going to the restaurant to finish the calls I’d started yesterday. Ryleigh was waiting for me when I walked into the kitchen, wanting to know what had happened between Remi and I last night. I told her about his statement, and how that had made me feel, but told her how I woke up with a sense of defiance towards him. She laughed and wondered if I was feeling stronger because of Nick’s presence. Honestly, I wasn’t sure why I was feeling this way and told her as much. I needed to get to the bottom of these feelings though, so I was grateful that I had an appointment with my psychologist this afternoon. Ryleigh and I talked as I got dressed and came to the conclusion that Nick showing up here wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, after all, a lot of the mental health issues I was still dealing with stemmed from the regret and guilt I had over our marriage and not telling him about Selah.
The Karma Contract Chapter 15
Nick POV “Selah baby, eat your snack. Dinner won’t be done for another 2 hrs.” Lyvie told our little girl as she flitted around the kitchen. I watched her in awe as she stirred her food, looking up and smiling at me as she did. I smiled back at her as Selah climbed back up into her seat at the breakfast nook and continued to eat her snack. Ryleigh started talking about their siblings minding their own business to which Lyvie just nodded in agreement. “I suppose that’s what I get for marrying Robbie’s best friend though. I just didn’t expect that the two of them would gang up on me the way they do. Like isn’t he supposed to be MY big brother? Why is he always taking his side?” Lyvie asked her as she rolled her eyes. “Because as far as they are concerned you are still the wild little sister who needs saved and protected from herself. They are completely incapable of seeing you as an adult, which is a problem considering that you actually marrie
The Karma Contract Chapter 16
Nick POV I followed Selah down the stairs and back to the kitchen where Lyvie was pouring soup into bowls. As I watched her serving dinner I found myself in awe of her beauty once again. I had known how lucky I was when we met all those years ago, but today I was once again reminded of how truly lucky I had been to cross paths with her. Most people wouldn’t consider it luck, especially with all that she had put me through, but I didn’t think of it like that. She had come into my life and taught me valuable lesson, and while I wish it hadn’t played out like it did, I was still grateful to have met and loved her. Not only had she given me a little girl to love and adore, but she had given me two of the best years of my life. Nobody else would see it the way I did, but I was completely in awe of her, so I didn’t really care what anyone else thought. I knew I would have to face my family over this eventually, but for now I just wanted to enjoy being near her and spend
