Karma (English) Chapter 1 Adults

Dalton Serano

Today is my graduation day and I'm really proud of myself that I achieved my goals by 24 years old. I got my Bachelor Degree in Harvard and then I got my Master Degree in Stanford.

I walked out from the hall after receiving my diploma and greeted by my family. My mother gave me a hug first and she said that she's so proud of me. My sister then gave me a hug and lastly.. my father gave me a big hug.

The only person that I want to pleased is my father.

As I grow up, I admire him and always wanted to be like him. I want to be someone that he can be proud of and live up to his expectations.

"We're so proud of you, son." My father said as he pulled away.

"Thank you, father." I smiled.

They already hired a professional photographer to take photos of us together as a family. My parents even gave me the time to talk and take pictures with some of my friends.

As I was busy taking pictures with some of my friends, suddenly a beautiful girl approached me. She brought a big bouquet of roses and she stood in front of me.

"Dalton Serano, I've been liking you for awhile now. I was wondering if we could go on a date tomorrow night?" She said shyly as she put the bouquet of flowers in front of me.

This reminded me of Ellie Lexington right away.

"Sorry, I have to go back to Paris tomorrow." I rejected her and she looked at me with teary eyes. I walked away to prevent any chaos that will occur.

This is not my first time receiving confession when I enrolled in uni. I got a lot of confessions but I rejected all of them. I only dated once throughout uni and it's with a woman named Lisa. We dated for about 1.5 years from my 3rd year to when I graduated my bachelor degree in Harvard.

When I challenged Ellie Lexington to follow me to Harvard on the day that she confessed to me, I never heard from her anymore. I saw her at school but that's it. She only confessed and just vanished into thin air.

Ellie Lexington is one of the most popular girls at school back then. She's beautiful and not to mention she was born with silver spoon too. The thing that made me remember about her until today is how she reacted when I told her to follow me to Harvard.

She told me that she will follow me a year after I enrolled, yet there's no signs of her. I went to the freshman welcoming orientation but none.

I guess, she's just one of those girls who don't have any sense of working hard to get what she wants. Even a part of me thought it was a prank or a dare from her friends.

Never heard anything from her ever again but I just hope she's doing great things in her life.

Ellie Lexington

"Ellie!" I squealed when I saw Callie walking into my office. I got up and immediately hugged her tightly.

"How are you?" I said as I put my hands on her upper arms. She still looking so gorgeous since the last time I saw her.

"I'm great. How about you?"

"I'm great too! was so happy when you called me, I thought you're still living in Melbourne." I said and she shook her head. She showed me her ring on her ring finger and my eyes widen.

"No way!"

"Yes.. way!" She squealed.

"This is great news!" I hugged her again and she squealed.

"I know!" She pulled away and handed me an invitation to her wedding.

"It's in 2 weeks. I know.. I know.. before you say something about it.." I was about to protest but she stopped me.

"It will be a big wedding, it's just I wanted to hand you the invitation in person." She said and I chuckled. I opened the wedding invitation and smiled.

"I'm so happy for you, Callie. I really do. This is amazing!" I said ad I put the invitation on my table. I turned to her and she held both of my hands.

"A lot of our highschool friends will come." She said and I nodded.

"I know."

"Including Dalton Serano and his family. Alfie's family knew them personally." She said and I chuckled.

"You're okay with it?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Why would I not be okay with it? It's your day and you don't need to think about me."

"That's odd." She looked at me suspiciously.

"It's been 7 years, Callie. I'll be working with him later." I said and she chocked on herself. I patted her back and she grabbed my glass of water drinking it.

"You what?"

"I'll be working with him." I repeated.

"How are you acting so normal? I know you're still in love with him!" She hissed as she wiped her lips.

"We're adults, Callie. We all have our own paths now." I said and she shook her head.

"Do you remember how he humiliated you in front of the whole student body?"

"It's in the past." I said and Callie looked at me disbelief.

"Good thing that you don't end up with him because you don't deserve him at all."

"I know, I know.. don't worry." I smiled and she let out a long sigh.

"There will be a lot of guests in my wedding and I will introduce you to my cousin. I think he's perfect for you."

"Are you really trying to hook me up with your cousin in your own wedding?" I asked and she laughed.

"I want you to find the one as soon as possible, you look lonely." She teased and I rolled my eyes.

"I just got out of a relationship, Callie."

"That was 7 months ago, stop making excuses!"

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

One Night With The Wrong Brother

One Night With The Wrong Brother

Tangye Wanzi

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.
