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

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

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.

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

Rozelynn POV Every time Nick got close to me, my heart raced. I knew I shouldn’t want him like I did, but still, I couldn’t help myself. He had always made my heart race something fierce, the passion that we had shared was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I had been trying to make sense of my emotions all night. I knew that I had Remi, I had chosen to be with him, to love him, but I wanted Nick too. I knew Remi wasn’t all terrible. At one point he loved and adored me wholly and completely. He would’ve done anything to make me happy at one point, but I suppose at some point over the past 5 years I broke him. It was never my intention to hurt him, or break his spirit, but the truth is that he had always known that I still loved Nick. Maybe that is what had finally broken him and why he spent so much time trying to break me. He wanted me to believe that no one else could love me the way he did so that I would never try to go back to Nick. But now Nick w
The Karma Contract Chapter 18
Nick POV He stood up from his seat and led the way out to the garage. I glanced over at Roz and rolled my eyes as I followed him out. As we got into his car I was instantly annoyed knowing that it was my money that had paid for his luxury vehicle. I found it condescending that as much as he detested my presence, he had no problem enjoying the perks of mine and Roz's divorce. He refused to acknowledge the fact that I was Selah's father, or that I deserved rights to her. Honestly the whole situation was infuriating, especially since I still had such deep feelings for Rozlynn. I hated even referring to her as Rozlynn, but I knew it was time to accept that she wasn't my Lyvie anymore. Instead she had gone back to Rozlynn, the small town girl that everyone here knew and loved. Well, I suppose she had actually grown into that girl, since she wasn't nearly as wild and carefree as she had once been when she was a child. Now she had gone from the town's wild child to it's sa

Remi POV As Nick got out of the car I couldn't help but to wonder about him. He had shown up here so abruptly that it just didn't seem right. I feared that contrary to what he said, he did want to try to win Roz back, and it seemed that no matter what I told him about her, he was still in love with her. I questioned what that might mean for my marriage, but I knew that Roz would never speak openly to me about it. It seemed that somewhere throughout our marriage we had gotten lost. She used to tell me everything, but now she rarely ever spoke to me. I never had any idea what was going on inside her head anymore and I hated it. Years ago, when she showed up on my doorstep I would have sworn that we were meant for each other. I had never met anyone so full of life and so resilient. She was this incredible beauty that had landed in my lap, and the six months that we spent together had been the best six months of my life. I watched her heal from the traumas that she had incurred th
