Chapter 70: Mike POV

**“You are mine even when you are not mine. Know I do not lie”-Domunique Harris.**

It seems like all I have been doing is work. It has been almost a week since Karma left with those bastards. I can't even concentrate on work hoping I will get an alert that she is back home. Yes, I have her house under surveillance. As soon as she shows up, I will be alerted. As well as be able to see a video. I wonder what she is doing with them, especially him. That asshole thinks he can just walk into her life and says he will back down. I do not care how much money he has. Karma is mine. Yes, I left her, but she is mine, and, when she is not mine. And soon she will learn that.

Karma will need to come to terms. And for that to happen, I need for her to see her trust fund boyfriend is not the right guy for her. I know he is just using her. And I am trying hard to find some dirt on him to show her he is not the man she thinks he is. However, he seems to be clean. I know a trust fund baby like him is not clean. Hell, most of the pay to make issues go away. I would know because I was the one guy like him in high school who would pay to clean up any complaints made by anyone.

My phone alerts and I jump at the idea that Karma is back. I look at the video feed and see there is a group of men walking on her porch. What the hell is going on? Turning the video feed to the driveway, I noticed a security van. Fuck, my life, does she know I am living so close to her? Yes, from my house I have a full 360 view of her property only because my house sits higher than hers.

An hour goes by and those men are still at Karma’s house. I am not sure what kind of hardware they are installing. But when I searched the internet for information about the company, it was top-of-the-line stuff. There is no way Karma can afford their services. This has that asshole's name all over it. So now I have to get her away from him and her house. I need a place we can go where we can reconnect. A place where Karma will fall back in love with me.

The guy Lance is getting on my damn nerves. First, he plays with her heart. Then he stands up to me in front of her. Next, he takes her far away from me, and now he is playing the role of protector. She is mine! There is no way in hell I am letting this shit stand. But by the looks of it, it seems as if he might be moving in. I will burn that damn house down before I let that happen.

Me: Karma, I think it is time for us to talk.
Karma: …... please stop.
Me: Just meet with me, please.
Karma: Mike, why can't you just leave me alone? I do not want you! How many times must I block you for you to get it?
Me: All I am trying to do is protect you.
Karma: Protect me from what, you?
Me: No, from that guy, Lance. Look, I know I hurt you and I want to make it up to you. But I know how guys like that are. I used to be one remember?
Karma: Mike, if this does not stop I will call the police.

Karma needs to get her head out of Lance's ass. She belongs with me; she belongs to me. I wanted to do this the easy way. But now I see I will have to do it the hard way. It wasn’t till my divorce I realized how good I had it with Karma. She is the type of woman a man would be proud to bring home to his mother. When I get my hands on her, I will have to punish her for giving away what is mine.

It took those men three hours to finish whatever they were doing inside Karma’s house. It was my luck that it was just in time for me to go home for lunch. I pulled up to my yard and then climbed over my fence to get to Karma’s house. I search for the fake rock that has her spare key inside but that shit is gone. Why the hell did I not make a copy of it?

I can't break in not knowing what kind of security system was installed. Fuck my life. I can't risk opening one of the windows and a damn alarm going off. Hell, I am not even sure what kind of system she could have. I need to know if there are cameras, windows, and door systems. Is the system connected directly to the police or a call center? I can only hope that when she gets back she will not remember to set her alarm at some point.

And once she does that, I can make my entrance and receive my love. I have been researching some shit. One of which is what pimps do to their new prostitutes. They program them so that she is willing to do whatever he wants her to do even if it puts her at risk. A part of me wonders if it would work on Karma. If Karma does disappear, no one will look for her, right?

I need to sit and write a plan out. The plan needs to be flawless. Because once I get her there is no way in hell I am letting her go. We will have a family, kids, a new house with a white picket fence. Even a dog if she wants one or two.
