Chapter 60: Mike POV

**“Why do you keep a comin' around? Playing with my heart. Why don't you get out of my life? And let me make a brand-new start. Let me get over you. The way you've gotten over me, yeah.”, Keep Me Hanging On, By Kim White.**

I found a place next to Karma's house. In fact, it is behind hers. My backyard is facing her back years. She is still in Europe, so that will give me a chance to move without her knowing. I am kind of disappointed that she did not call me for help with her problem. Yeah, I froze her account with the thought that she would contact me for help. Then I will show up like the Superman I am.

From my bedroom window, I can see into her bedroom. My windows are tented so I can look out, but no one can look in. Today I put small cameras in every window that faces her house. There are even some on my tree that look over Karma's house. Karma has always stuck to herself. The only neighbor she knows is Dan. So, I know she won't come knocking on my door.

But I know that did not happen. I can only assume that her boss/lover is covering all her expenses. I tried to freeze his assets as well, but he is well protected. I long on to the dark web to take a look at Karma's accounts. It seems like the bank is working on unfreezing her accounts. This must be her boss/ lover doing. If it wasn’t for him, she would have called me by now. I gave up and called her. I am not sure if she is up or not.

“Hello”, she said, and I could hear music in the background.

Judging by the tone of her voice, she was drunk. So, she is out partying with that bastard. I tried to talk some sense into her. But she is not listening. It could be the liquor she is drinking. She throws in my face how I treated her. And how my wife is a professional whore. Before I could respond, I heard her gasp.

“She does not want you! Stay the fuck away from her!”, a man yelled.
“Who the fuck is this?”, I yelled.
“Lance! And I can assume this is Mike the loser”, he said, and I wanted to punch him.
“Why are you playing with her emotions? You know the two of you do not have a future together. She is your fucking employee. Don’t tell me you are one of those dudes that like to fuck his secretary”, I said.
“The only person who ever played with her emotions is you. You fucking asshole. Who I fuck is none of your business. Who she fucks is not of your business either. If I wanted to bend her over the sink right now and fuck her while on the phone with you”, he said. I felt my face go hot with rage.

The line went dead that bastard. I am going to find a way to get her. Karma is mine and always has been. Even before we got together. I wanted to put a camera in her house as well. But that would be overboard. On top of that, there is a possibility that she may find them. This guy, Lance, is going to be a problem. Fuck her in the bathroom, really. And he said that shit in front of her.

I have been trying in my free time to get past his firewall. It seems that his firewall is military-protected. Like what the hell? The last time I was here, there was not this kind of firewall. I wonder if he found out that someone was trying to get into his company system. It dawned on me that since he is in Europe with her, I could hack and cancel his passport. If I do that, she will have to come back by herself.

Now that I think about it, I might just put a red flag on his passport. It will not do him any harm. He will just be held for forty-eight hours. Him pretending to be a nice guy or so. He will insist Karma go ahead without him. Without him in the States to house her, she would have to come back to her house. And I will wait for her.

“Yeah”, I said, answering my phone.
“Baby, it has been a week since I saw you”, an annoying whining voice said.
“Jane, I have been busy with work”, I growled out, frustrated.
“What about tonight? I want to see you”, I keep blocking her number but she keeps calling me from the other numbers.
“Jane, I can't be okay. How about this? I will call you when I am not busy”, I said.
“You know what, Mike, I don’t think this relationship is going to work”, she said, and I looked at the phone dumbfounded.
“Relationship? What relationship?”, I asked, confused.
“Our relationship", she said. Where the hell is this coming from?
“Jane, we do not have a relationship. Where the hell did you get that idea?
“Well, everyone knows when a guy has sex with the same person more than three times they are in a relationship”, she said in a matter-of-fact tone. Okay, this bitch is crazy.
“Jane, we are just having fun. We are not in a relationship”, I said in a stern tone.
“What!”, she yelled in a screech.
“But you made me get tested and on the pill,”, she whined.
“Yes, because I wanted to make sure you are clean. We meet up at random places to have sex. And sometimes I don’t have a condom. You are on the pill because I do not want any unwanted surprises”, I said honestly.
“So that is all I was to you, an easy fuck?”, she asked.
“That sounds about right”, I said, then hung up.

I hope Karma is taking precautions. I hope she is protecting herself. I am not sure if I would want her. If that bastard impregnates her, I would still want her. But Karma is smarter than that, right? She never got pregnant by me. Not that I know of. Karma wanted the whole package before the kids. You know marriage, a house with a white picket fence, a small dog.

Jane: You are such a bastard.
Me: I am aware.
Jane: How do you know if I was really taking the pills?
Me: At this point, it is not my problem.

This bitch is playing with me right now and I do not like it. She has no idea who she is playing with. Cutting my phone off, I transfer all of her little funds into her account. Transfer them to an offshore account, then close them. Next, I closed all of her credit card accounts. Let's see how she liked that. And for good measure, I turned off her cell phone and her landline.

Karma is my only focus. I need to get her back. She needs to understand she needs me. We belong together. I know I fuck up in the past. Now I realize what one of my friends meant when they said fat and ugly women do not cheat. Now do not get me wrong. Karma is far from ugly. But she could lose a few pounds. We will cross that bridge when we get there and we will get there.
