Semua Bab HIS MOST WANTED KARMA: Bab 81 - Bab 90

"Hi, Olivia. Can I come in?"Olivia stood at the door. She always knew this day would come, but not today. Not when her head was still reeling from everything else. After all these years, this woman still held some kind of control over her. Olivia wasn’t a child anymore. She had to hide her fear."Your son isn’t around. You might as well go.""I know. I saw him going out with his daughter. I’ve been waiting in my car for the moment he would leave."Did she just say his daughter? She let out a soft chuckle. The boldness, very typical of her. Still, Olivia stepped aside. There was no point blocking the entrance. It was still Bryan's house.Mrs. Judge stepped in, dressed nothing like her usual self, no bold makeup, or flashy jewelry. She was going for the "helpless woman" look. She sat on the couch, careful and gentle."You have every reason to be angry at me," she began. "I wish I could go back in time. Things would have been different. I’m sorry, Olivia. I never knew you were pregnant.

Sitting down with Ethan in his apartment still felt surreal. Diego had not removed his eyes from him. Now he wished he had his cigarette pack with him. This surprise was just too much to process."Here you go, man," Ethan said, handing over a glass of whiskey.Diego gulped it down at once. He needed something strong."Easy, man. I know you have lots of questions going through your mind. But it's me, Ethan. Where do we start now?... Hmmmm? Let's make it short: We went to a war and lost. Unfortunately, I was held captive by my enemies and became useful to them, but with the help of someone, I managed to escape. So, here I am."Diego was still looking at him, eyes wide. "I’m glad you're alive, man. I thought you died, I mean... that’s what everybody thought. What are you doing here?"Just then, it dawned on Diego that Zoe was living next door. What if they had seen each other? Does he know Alicia? What if Lucas had shown him some pictures, or worse, they had already met?Ethan’s voice sn

Bryan was finally done working. He stood up and stretched his body, then walked over to the window to rest his eyes. That was when he saw her.Outside by the pool, there was a commotion. Olivia was standing close to another man. He was wet, looked like he’d just come out of the pool. But that wasn’t what caught Bryan’s attention. The man was performing CPR on someone, and it wasn’t until he got a closer look that his heart dropped.No way.It was Daniella.He didn’t even think twice. He left the room and rushed down.“What happened to her?” he asked as he knelt beside her.Daniella was awake now, her face pale, her body slightly trembling. She sat up, confused and weak.“Bryan, you’re here,” Olivia’s voice cracked as she reached for his arm, trying to steady herself. “I was so scared, I couldn’t even scream. She... she fell into the pool. I thought she wanted to swim, and then she started drowning. I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I’m shaking right now.”Bryan ignored her. He was

"A date. Just wow..." Bryan said to himself. He wanted nothing more than to walk up there, drag her by the hand, and take her away. But he couldn’t. He saw it all. Alicia gladly accepted the invite. Larry left politely after collecting her contact, still wearing that casual smile. Bryan clenched his fist. This wasn't what he wanted to see.Then, out of nowhere, Lucas appeared beside Alicia."Can we talk? Outside," he said."Sure," Alicia replied, walking alongside him out of the conference hall.Once they were outside, Lucas looked around to make sure no one was watching or listening. Then he faced her."Daniella, I know you have the right to associate with anyone here. But remember this: you are mine. And I’m about to change the face of your company. I saw you with that man, and you were all smiley. Those smiles are for me, not him."He paused, breathing harder now."I’m sorry if I raised my voice. I just… I can't stand seeing you getting all love-dovey with another man."Alicia fol

“What are you saying, Diego? I understand that we look very much alike, more like doppelgangers, but we aren’t even related. For the record, I have no siblings. So enough of that. Now I can’t even visit my boyfriend, all because of one stupid lie that keeps growing.” Zoe’s voice cracked as she tried to stay calm. The food box she was packing remained half open, untouched. It felt useless now, risky even. Hunter would have to be the one to come over instead, she thought.Diego was still looking at her. “You should know me by now. I don’t say things I’m not sure of. Let’s do it this way. Go home to your mum. The pregnancy isn’t very obvious yet; the bump is still small. Ask her to be honest with you. If she still stands her ground, then demand a DNA test. I’ll take it from there. Trust me, she has a lot of explanations to give you. Even I’m eager to hear her story.”Zoe stood, staring at him. There was no joking in his eyes. Diego had that serious tone he rarely used, the kind that sa
