All Chapters of Karma: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter One  "Happy birthday, Princess." Chase walked into her room with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. Shelly's room was painted in purple and it screamed rich! Shelly Champman yawned, stretched before lazily opened her eyes and shut it back instantly.  "Ow!" She exclaimed, "shut the blinds." Her ever obedient boyfriend, Chase Parker, stood up and pulled the curtains down. He was now accustomed to his girlfriend's tantrums and demands. Most times he'd stare at himself in the mirror and wonder what his 6'5ft self was doing with her but he was yet to get the answer to that question.  "Good morning, babe," he beamed happily and joined her on her princess sized bed that was cov

Chapter Two Chase Parker was just rounding up the draft on a new business strategy he was due to submit by tomorrow when his door opened quietly.  Startled, he looked up and saw...  "Shelly." He never knew her as one who made a quiet entrance. She was always loud and loved the spotlight.  "It's me." She smiled and stepped into his office. "I came to drag you away from here." "Uhm, I've got work to do that needs to be submitted tomorrow." He replied, thumbing through some documents. "Leave it, I'll just tell daddy to give it to someone else." She snapped.  "S

Chapter Three Shelly and Kiara took their time before getting into her car. She had composed herself before leaving and gave the most radiant smile. She wasn't about to break down in front of strangers. Getting to her car, she saw Cindy leaning on it. Her eyes was red and puffy, her face had lost it's radiant smile.  "I didn't mean to snap at you, it's not your fault," she said quietly.  Cindy stared at her suprised--she hadn't expected an apology from her, but it was Shelly afterall, she'd never apologize directly.  "It's fine." Cindy smiled.  "Alright, let's go." Kiara said, already seated on the driver's seat.&nb

Chapter Four Shelly moaned in her sleep--she hugged her pillow tightly as if she was clinging unto life itself.  Grrrringgg! Grinnnngggg!!  Something was shrieking like an alarm clock. Tossing and turning, she located the little devil interrupting her sleep and threw it away.  The ear splitting noise it made, had her sitting up in bed. Frowning, she rubbed her eyes and yawned before seeing a blur shape of an alarm clock on the ground.  Rubbing her eyes again, she looked around and saw nothing but blurry shapes. "Uhm, guys. I didn't kill you all right so why do I feel blind?" She asked no one in particular. 

Chapter Five Shelly peeled her eyes open and groaned before shutting it. She tried again, but this time a hand was shielding her eyes from the sun rays.  "I just had the weirdest dream ever." She yawned and looked at the owner of the hand shielding her eyes and screamed.  "It's not a bloody dream!" She screamed bloody murder as the woman jerked back immediately.  "Shelly, what is the problem?" The woman who claimed to be her mom asked.  "You are my problem!" She shrieked.  "That is no way to talk to your mother, young lady." The man named Lucas also claiming to be her father snapped. 

Chapter Six Shelly opened her eyes, her surroundings blur and a massive headache tormenting her as she remembered the strange incidents happening. "...not stable right now to be left alone." She heard the doctor's voice as he spoke not fully hearing all nor understanding what he said. So she listened more intently. "Your daughter is going to be fine, it's just stress there's nothing to worry about," the doctor was saying, "and it's too early to start conducting any test on her." Wait! What tests are they talking about? She was perfectly fine and didn't need any doctor or hospital. She just needed to confess her feelings to Chase and get the hell out of this universe---world---whatever the fuck this is. Holding the edge of her bed,

Chapter Seven After years of never feeling left out. Years of always being the queen who dictates how things goes, Shelly was not used to this new feeling. The feeling of rejection. It felt so odd and painful. Running towards nowhere in particular, she found herself standing in front of a cliff overlooking the sunset. For once in her entire life she noticed something that had seemed irrelevant before. She noticed how beautiful nature was. She watched as the sun sank into the horizon displaying an orange golden color up in the sky. It was so beautiful. "It's mesmerizing, isn't it?" The soft velvet voice pulled her out of her reverie. Looking beside her she saw him. The one she had been waiting for stood in all his glory beside her staring--- not at her but at the sunset and she was supposed to answer him but she was tongue tied! She just stood there staring at him. He looked more handsome than she r

Chapter Eight"Can I speak to you for a sec?"Shelly was on her way out after the argument she had with Kiara and Laura. She just wanted to leave this house and go somewhere quiet, not for a soul searching even though Kiara's words still rang in her eyes every second.Stopping in her tracks she turned and faced him. "Sure." She took a seat opposite him on the dinning table."Shelly, what's going on with you?" Lucas placed his big palm on the back of her hand.Shelly flinched but didn't pull away. "I don't know." Her voice was barely a whisper."I know you've got a lot going on in your life right now," he began, "but don't let it consume you and the people around you.""I don't understand what you're saying to me." Shelly frowned.Lucas furrowed his brows at her trying to get a closer look. "You're hurting your mom."Shelly felt the tears fill her eyes again. "Alright, I'll stop.""Shelly, darling I don't mean it l

Chapter Nine Shelly would never forget that voice. Even in her dream or in this alternate world she would always remember it, and that was what stopped her dead in her tracks. She couldn't move or say anything, she just stood there frozen in time.Kiara noticed her friend's distress and was quick to come to her aid."Hello, Mr Chapman to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?" Kiara smiled at him while Shelly remained quiet staring at the splitting image of her father only this time, he wasn't her dad."As charming as always, Miss Kiara." He chuckled."So customers are not supposed to be in here." Kiara pointed out."I know my dear, I actually took permission from the manager. I came to see Miss Shelly."This time Shelly moved but not in the right way. She jumped up and screamed. "Daddy! I know you'd come to my rescue!!" And she fell on his chest and wept for joy.You know in that moment when you feel like the

Chapter Ten "I've been waiting for you to bring my fruits and veggies and you're here fraternizing with this--thing."Shelly stared in horror as the she-devil herself walked inside the store creating a scene around them."Cindy, she was only showing me the veggies section besides she's not a thing she's a human being just like you." Chase cautioned her frowning.Cindy huffed. "This crazy is nothing like me.""I'm not crazy!" Shelly finally found her voice."Of course you aren't I made a mistake the other time I thought you were crazy." Cindy tutted. "I should have known that you're also a slut!"Gasps were heard from the crowd as all eyes focused on her. Shelly had been embarrassed before in the cafe by Cindy but this was on a whole new level. Lots of people were here even the ones who didn't know her and she could feel all eyes judging her."Yes, that's what you are." Cindy continued unperturbed, "A slut who's tr
