A Pause on this book
Last Updated:
2022-12-02 03:35:57Hey everyone! I know I haven't updated this book in a few months, so I wanted to take a moment to address this. I've decided that the best thing for me to do right now is pause on this book. At first I was hoping to finish it by the end of the year, but the truth is that I've had some serious writers block when it comes to this story. I know where I want to take it, and how it will end, but I've been lacking in inspiration when it comes to these characters. So, right now, my focus is on finishing The Timekeeper Dynasty book I'm currently working on. I've also recently began another project I'm passionate about, though I haven't gotten to a point to where I'm ready to upload it to the platform yet. I hope you all can understand, and are willing to bear with me until I am ready to finish this adventure of Roz, Nick & Remi. Until that time comes, please feel free to check out The Timekeeper Dynasty Series here on Goodnovel!

Alyvia POV “So this is it then? There’s nothing I can do? We can’t fix this?” He asked me, his voice breaking with emotion. “No. I won’t stay with a cheater.” I said solemnly, though I couldn’t bear to lift my head to look at him. “And this is what you want? My money? Ofcourse it is. It always comes back to my money. Well Lyvie, you can have it, because whether you choose to believe it or not, I love you. I love you more than anything in this world. This money means nothing to me if I don’t have you, so take it.” He spoke as he signed the divorce settlement. I didn’t miss the way he sniffled as he spoke, or how he wiped the tears away before he signed. I knew I was breaking his heart. Hell, I was breaking my own heart, but I knew this had to be done. I’d made a promise, and I had to keep it. Sure, he and I would both walk away from this heart broken, but we were both strong, we would heal from it. Jazmine, however, I feared what might happen

Alyvia POV I remember sitting in my Avondale office waiting for Jazmine to show up a year later. She was running late that day after her therapy session. She had decided to take my advice & found a therapist to help her work through the pile of issues that Nick had left her with. The wedding was in two days, & I still needed to pick up my dress from the boutique & finalize the menu. When Nick proposed, he had said he wanted to get married on our one year anniversary, so I had managed to plan a wedding in three months. I had run into him at his favorite coffee shop on October 1st, a Saturday, & he said that he noticed me as soon as I walked in. He was sitting there eating a raspberry bear claw, while drinking his morning coffee & scrolling through social media. He said that I stole his breath away, and that he had never seen anyone so effortlessly beautiful. I had ordered a tall salted caramel mocha latte with extra caramel & mocha drizzle & an apple cinnamon scone. I sat t

Alyvia POV Then, there I was, standing in front of the mirror in my hotel suite, admiring my wedding gown. It was perfect for a fall wedding. It had been a sheer fabric with a thick floral vine pattern on it. It came clear up my neck & was long sleeved with the back cut out. It was form fitting & turned into a silk form fitting skirt with a high slit that ran up my left leg to my hip with a 2 foot train that flowed behind me as I walked. The front was sheer as well, with the thick floral pattern running perfectly over my nipples so you couldn't see them through the sheer fabric. It was flawless & I had looked beautiful in it. My hair was in twisted up into an elegant updo that allowed for my flowing curls to come out of the top & cascade down. My veil was attached to the tiara that I wore, which had been my second wedding weekend present from Nick, & it had been pulled over my face just before I entered the hall. I had worn a blue garter, & just before I had put on my dres

(5 Years Later) Nick POV I woke up this morning angry, I wake up every morning angry though so it’s nothing new. I haven’t actually been happy since she left me. I pretended most days to keep everyone from worrying about me, but inside I was dead. She took every bit of life from me when she left. I had thought I could talk her into working things out when we met to sign the divorce papers, but she wouldn’t even look at me. I had felt so defeated that I couldn’t stop the tears when they came. She was all I had ever wanted, but someone had sent her pictures of that one night, the only time I had failed to make it home. We had gotten into a fight before I left for work that morning, and it continued well into the day. She wanted to sell the townhouse and move out of the city, but I didn’t want to. She wanted me to quit my job too, saying that I had more than enough money, that I didn’t have to work. But I loved my job, so I refused. We had fought about it all day,

Nick POV I had booked myself a flight, and a room at a local bed and breakfast in her hometown before going home to my empty condo and packing. My flight would leave late this afternoon and I would make it to Richmond by dusk. The town she lived in was an hour and a half drive from the city, so I would make it there late in the evening. I was a little nervous to see her again after all these years, but the excitement overrode and nervousness I had. Joey had come home with me and talked about everything he had learned about my ex-wife from her brother. He talked about the stories her brother had told him about her as a child when they were in college, and about the things he had told Maddie about her life now. He told me about how she had been fearless as a child, which had gained her the title of the family wild child. He also talked about how she had apparently bought a bunch of land with the money I gave her in the divorce. Now she owned a farm on the outside o

Rozelynn/Lyvie POV I was on an important call with one of my liquor distributors when Remi called repeatedly, forcing me to cut the call short. I almost had them talked down to the price I wanted to be at too, but at least I’d managed to get them to a 4% mark down. That was better than what I was originally paying. I called Remi back to see what he wanted. I didn’t even know that he had left the building, but the fact that he had kept calling instead of coming into my office said he had. “You called several times?” I asked him when he answered on the second ring. “Yea, there’s an issue with Selah down here at the Inn. Apparently she had decided to claim some random guest as her daddy, and the guy is just weird. Renee called the bar, so I came to get her, but she freaked out, starting screaming that it wasn’t time for her to leave yet because you said so, like she does, and latched onto the guy, like she does. It’s just weird and it’s not ok, but he’s hold

Rozelynn POV I wasn’t sure what to say, or what to do as my ex-husband stood there watching me. I wanted to tell him everything about me, to sit and laugh with him the way we used to do, but Remi watching me intensely made me forget about ever being with him the way I used to. I played with our daughter’s ponytail, unsure of how to proceed with the man that I had once shared everything with. Surely this was just as strange for him, right? If it was, he played it off as if it wasn’t, using his charm and gorgeous smile to break down my defenses and get me to loosen up as he made small talk with me. “So, tell me about your restaurant. I hear you do a karaoke dinner show in the evenings. You always did enjoy karaoke.” He spoke as he sat on the couch next to the recliner I was sitting in with Selah. “Yea, we do. I uh, Well I run it with my brother Robbie, Remi & my little sister Ryliegh. I’m not sure if Josh knows or would have told you, but I’m obviously not

Nick POV It was devastating that she was married, but I tried my best to ignore it as we spent the day together. We were a family today, the three of us. I surprised myself at how easily I forgave her, but as I looked into her eyes, I knew she hadn’t actually wanted to leave me. All day I had tried to get her to confess that she had really loved me, but she never did. I knew she did though, that she still does. I could see it in her eyes, even if she wouldn’t admit it. I’m sure the fact that she had a new husband was the only thing keeping her from saying it out loud. But she made it very clear when he got mad and walked out after I confessed my feelings to her. She didn’t bother to go after him, instead she stayed here with me, with our daughter. I still couldn’t believe we had a daughter. The fact that she had carried our baby, even though she knew it could kill her, told me everything I needed to know about her feelings for me. Everyone had told me that she scam

The Karma Contract Chapter 20
Rozelynn POV Remi came home from dropping off Nick, and to my surprise, he got in the shower with me. It had been a while since he had bothered to try to be close to me, but I was more than happy to welcome him into my arms. At some point over the past year our marriage had begun to unravel. We were no longer having intimate moments, and it was truly taking its toll on both of us. He kissed me needily, and I happily returned his affection, happy to have my husband touching me, needing me and wanting me again. I would never say it out loud, but I had truly missed this closeness between the two of us. Once upon a time, Remi had been my very best friend. He gave me the freedom to speak openly and honestly about my feelings, regardless of how dark they were. Sure Ryleigh had always been my best friend, but there were certain things that I didn't want to burden her with because she was my little sister. So, upon my return home, Remi had been my go to and my support through the ha
The Karma Contract Chapter 19
Remi POV As Nick got out of the car I couldn't help but to wonder about him. He had shown up here so abruptly that it just didn't seem right. I feared that contrary to what he said, he did want to try to win Roz back, and it seemed that no matter what I told him about her, he was still in love with her. I questioned what that might mean for my marriage, but I knew that Roz would never speak openly to me about it. It seemed that somewhere throughout our marriage we had gotten lost. She used to tell me everything, but now she rarely ever spoke to me. I never had any idea what was going on inside her head anymore and I hated it. Years ago, when she showed up on my doorstep I would have sworn that we were meant for each other. I had never met anyone so full of life and so resilient. She was this incredible beauty that had landed in my lap, and the six months that we spent together had been the best six months of my life. I watched her heal from the traumas that she had incurred th
The Karma Contract Chapter 18
Nick POV He stood up from his seat and led the way out to the garage. I glanced over at Roz and rolled my eyes as I followed him out. As we got into his car I was instantly annoyed knowing that it was my money that had paid for his luxury vehicle. I found it condescending that as much as he detested my presence, he had no problem enjoying the perks of mine and Roz's divorce. He refused to acknowledge the fact that I was Selah's father, or that I deserved rights to her. Honestly the whole situation was infuriating, especially since I still had such deep feelings for Rozlynn. I hated even referring to her as Rozlynn, but I knew it was time to accept that she wasn't my Lyvie anymore. Instead she had gone back to Rozlynn, the small town girl that everyone here knew and loved. Well, I suppose she had actually grown into that girl, since she wasn't nearly as wild and carefree as she had once been when she was a child. Now she had gone from the town's wild child to it's sa
The Karma Contract Chapter 17
Rozelynn POV Every time Nick got close to me, my heart raced. I knew I shouldn’t want him like I did, but still, I couldn’t help myself. He had always made my heart race something fierce, the passion that we had shared was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I had been trying to make sense of my emotions all night. I knew that I had Remi, I had chosen to be with him, to love him, but I wanted Nick too. I knew Remi wasn’t all terrible. At one point he loved and adored me wholly and completely. He would’ve done anything to make me happy at one point, but I suppose at some point over the past 5 years I broke him. It was never my intention to hurt him, or break his spirit, but the truth is that he had always known that I still loved Nick. Maybe that is what had finally broken him and why he spent so much time trying to break me. He wanted me to believe that no one else could love me the way he did so that I would never try to go back to Nick. But now Nick w
The Karma Contract Chapter 16
Nick POV I followed Selah down the stairs and back to the kitchen where Lyvie was pouring soup into bowls. As I watched her serving dinner I found myself in awe of her beauty once again. I had known how lucky I was when we met all those years ago, but today I was once again reminded of how truly lucky I had been to cross paths with her. Most people wouldn’t consider it luck, especially with all that she had put me through, but I didn’t think of it like that. She had come into my life and taught me valuable lesson, and while I wish it hadn’t played out like it did, I was still grateful to have met and loved her. Not only had she given me a little girl to love and adore, but she had given me two of the best years of my life. Nobody else would see it the way I did, but I was completely in awe of her, so I didn’t really care what anyone else thought. I knew I would have to face my family over this eventually, but for now I just wanted to enjoy being near her and spend
The Karma Contract Chapter 15
Nick POV “Selah baby, eat your snack. Dinner won’t be done for another 2 hrs.” Lyvie told our little girl as she flitted around the kitchen. I watched her in awe as she stirred her food, looking up and smiling at me as she did. I smiled back at her as Selah climbed back up into her seat at the breakfast nook and continued to eat her snack. Ryleigh started talking about their siblings minding their own business to which Lyvie just nodded in agreement. “I suppose that’s what I get for marrying Robbie’s best friend though. I just didn’t expect that the two of them would gang up on me the way they do. Like isn’t he supposed to be MY big brother? Why is he always taking his side?” Lyvie asked her as she rolled her eyes. “Because as far as they are concerned you are still the wild little sister who needs saved and protected from herself. They are completely incapable of seeing you as an adult, which is a problem considering that you actually marrie
The Karma Contract Chapter 14
Rozelynn POV I dropped Selah off at school and came home to change this morning before going to the restaurant to finish the calls I’d started yesterday. Ryleigh was waiting for me when I walked into the kitchen, wanting to know what had happened between Remi and I last night. I told her about his statement, and how that had made me feel, but told her how I woke up with a sense of defiance towards him. She laughed and wondered if I was feeling stronger because of Nick’s presence. Honestly, I wasn’t sure why I was feeling this way and told her as much. I needed to get to the bottom of these feelings though, so I was grateful that I had an appointment with my psychologist this afternoon. Ryleigh and I talked as I got dressed and came to the conclusion that Nick showing up here wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, after all, a lot of the mental health issues I was still dealing with stemmed from the regret and guilt I had over our marriage and not telling him about Selah.
The Karma Contract Chapter 13
Nick POV A silver truck sat in the circular driveway in front of the house as we pulled into the 4 car garage that sat on its right side. Once inside we all loaded out of the car, and I unbuckled Selah and pulled her from her car seat. I couldn’t deny that the house was beautiful and knew that this was what my ex-wife had always dreamed of when she begged me to sell the townhouse. She had wanted space for our children to run around and play outside, but the townhouse didn’t allow that. Ryleigh made her way to the door of the garage that entered to the house as Selah and I followed. I was carrying Selah’s school bag as I followed closely behind her, noticing Lyvie’s SUV parked in the first spot in the garage. Ryleigh opened the door to a mud room where the conversation that was happening in the kitchen could be heard. There was an argument happening, though I wasn’t sure who she was arguing with, I could hear Lyvie’s voice sounding frustrated as she spoke. “Last t
