HIS MOST WANTED KARMA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Rebecca was glancing around the room with curious eyes. She looked like she was expecting someone else to step out from a hidden corner, another woman, maybe, but the room was silent. It was just her and Mrs. Judge."Nobody else is in the room, dear," the woman said gently. She crossed one leg over the other and smiled like she had everything under control. "It’s just the two of us. I know you're surprised, but trust me, I have my reasons. Consider yourself lucky, thousands of women would fight for the opportunity I’m offering you, but here I am, handing it to you on a silver platter."Rebecca shifted in her seat. "I’m not his type, Ma’am. Bryan likes his women classy, polished, and expensive. That’s not me, I’m sorry, Ma, but he would never see me like that. I can’t believe we are even having this conversation."Mrs. Judge let out a soft, knowing laugh. She waved her hand like Rebecca had just said something silly. "Oh, sweetheart. We can make you his type, that is pretty easy. A li

It was exactly 7 PM. Alicia stood outside the tall office building, arms crossed and eyes scanning the street. Her chauffeur was supposed to bring her car around, but he was taking longer than usual. She sighed, ready to call the driver, when a black Lexus LS slowly pulled up in front of her.The door opened, and Bryan stepped out with a wide grin on his face, his teeth on full display like he had just won a bet."I’ve been waiting for over an hour," he said with a smirk. “You must be a workaholic.”Alicia’s eyes widened slightly. She hadn’t expected to see him. “Bryan? What are you doing here? How did you find my office? I don’t remember giving you that information.”He shrugged like it was the easiest thing in the world. “Google. You’d be surprised what shows up when someone types your name. You run a whole chain of businesses, Daniella Smith. You can’t exactly hide in the shadows.”Before she could reply, he continued. “I’m here to take you to dinner, and I won’t take no for an ans

Alicia stood by the front door, fully dressed. Her car keys were in one hand, and her phone was in the other. She was already running late for a meeting and just wanted to step out without any drama. But as she reached for the handle, she heard a voice behind her.“Is it just me, or have you been avoiding me?”She turned slowly. Tim was standing there, holding a cup of tea, her heart skipped a little, but she tried to keep her face straight.“I know I’m not always around,” Tim said, walking closer. “But the few times I am, you’re either asleep or already gone to work before sunrise, and now, you’re sneaking out again.”He paused, studying her eyes. “Is this about what happened in your room?”Alicia cut him off fast. She had been dreading this conversation.“Not at all,” she said quickly. “I told you, business has been crazy lately. What happened that night... it was a mistake. It was nothing, please don’t read too much into it.”Tim opened his mouth to say something, but she didn't gi

Alicia stared closely at Becky, narrowing her eyes. She noticed how Becky’s hands trembled slightly and how her breathing was fast and uneven.“Are you okay, Mrs. Lucas? You don’t look good to me,” she asked calmly, but with a hint of concern.Becky swallowed hard. She knew everyone in the room was watching. Her heart was pounding, her knees weak.“I... I’ve been sick all night,” she stammered. “I feel dizzy.”She didn’t even know how the words came out of her mouth. The lie just slipped out, like her mind had decided for her. But she was thankful, anything to save face, anything not to look stupid again.Alicia nodded slowly, walking closer until she stood right in front of Becky. She leaned in so close that Becky could feel her warm breath.“You should’ve called in sick; take two days off, and rest very well. Hopefully, you’ll feel better before then.”Then she added, her voice quieter, almost whispering: “I need you alive.”And just like that, she turned and walked away.********B

Alicia leaned close to Lucas, bringing her lips close to his ear so he could hear her through the loud beat."Follow me outside," she whispered.Without thinking, Lucas followed her. It was like she had cast a spell on him. His heart was beating fast. The moment they stepped outside, the cool night breeze brushed across their faces. Alicia leaned against a black car, making the short dress she wore appear even shorter. The streetlight above them made her skin glow evenly.Lucas stood a few steps away, staring. He didn’t even try to hide it. Everything about her drew him in. Her smile, her body, her face, it was driving him mad.She smiled at him, “You have a wife, Lucas. I don’t like to share my man. What about that? What if I want you as much as you want me? Will that change anything?”He didn’t hesitate. He stepped closer to her and placed his hand gently over her lips.“Shhh,” he said. “We’re just existing. That marriage? It means nothing. After my wife died, I was a mess, I was br
