Karma - S01 E08

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

I am not accustomed to drinking at night. I am at Achilles club as per Cassandra's request. She is in disguise again.

"There he is." She points at her husband who has no idea she is also at the club. We are in the VIP section, it is a soundproof room, you can't hear the music blasting from the club. He is in the company of several men but engrossed in a conversation with two men which is broken when a woman walks toward them, I can't make out her face but she is stunningly dressed in a white bodycon dress. Christian Thorne stands and hugs her, he turns his head as she attempts to kiss him.

"Is that her?" I ask Cassandra.

She shakes her head devastated and takes her eyes away from them, "I can't do this." She stands grabbing her bags. And I stand to follow her, My head feels super lights, seems I get drunk quick when I drink at night.

When she turns I see her raw pain. I have been there. It sucks.

"I am sorry Katerina, I thought I would do this but seeing them together is killing me. I am sorry I asked you here or even for your help." She starts to walk.

"Who is she?" I ask as I throw a dagger back at Mr. Thorne. The woman leans on him and says something to him.

"Did you see it?" She rubs her forehead like she thinks it is just her imagination.

"Can you at least sit?" I ask her. She is pregnant and looks distraught. Based on our initial encounter, I don't like her but I still feel responsible for her.

"He sent me a text earlier that he will be working late." She shows me a series of chats between them.

Typical lies of a cheater!

I throw a dirty glance to where they are seated. He can not see us, the woman caresses his cheek and he tilts his head with slight discomfort.

Maybe he doesn't want to soil his name in public as a cheater, but still, he is.

I hate cheaters, they make my blood boil. They lie and destroy lives.

A person that can sleep next to you, look you into your eyes daily, and lie to you. Is a psychopath and is capable of the unimaginable.

Previously, I wasn't motivated to punish him since she blackmailed me into it. But now, I badly want to punish him just for my satisfaction.

"Just help me, Karma." She uses my dark web name and I look around nervously, afraid someone might hear her.

"You shouldn't call me that," I whisper.

I wait for her response but she is watching her husband as the young lady flirts with him. So far, he does a good job pretending he isn't interested.

"I can't be here." She proceeds with her initial idea to leave and just as she opens the door, a girl bumps into her and she looks up angry. I suddenly recognize her even in her heavy make-up, I know her. She looks at least of legal age while she is only fifteen. She doesn't know me but I know her. She is my half-sister, Bella.

"Watch where you are going." She spits. She smells like she swam in a pool full of alcohol.

"Bella?" I find myself calling out her name in surprise.

"Do I know you?" She slurs.

I shake my head as she staggers past me, I find myself turning to watch where she is going.

She is underage. What is she doing here?

I turn to look if can see Cassandra and I am torn about who to run after. I look back again as I see my half-sister, Bella walk to where Christian Throne and his colleagues are seated. One of the men pulls her, she falls on his lap and giggles shyly.
