All Chapters of Entwined With Karma : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

As the car came to a halt outside the opulent hotel hosting the charity event, Kendall felt her heart rate increase. An instant later, a feeling of anxiousness crashed through her due to the bright lights and hordes of cameras waiting outside. Jason was sitting next to her, seemingly unaffected by the outside world, as he remained composed and at ease. His expression was unreadable, his focus on the flashing cameras ahead.“You ready?” Jason’s voice broke the silence, his eyes turning to her.With a hard gulp, Kendall nervously smoothed the hem of her evening gown with her fingers. Although the garment Alicia had chosen for her was stunning—sleek and black satin with a sophisticated neckline—it seemed more like armor than actual clothing. She didn’t feel ready. Not for the cameras, not for the questions, not for the need to put on a happy front. "As prepared as I can be," she answered, speaking softer than she had meant to. Jason nodded curtly to her, then opened the car door and st

As evening descended on the city, Kendall sat by her bedroom window and gazed out at the sky that was growing darker. Her thoughts were consumed by the previous encounter she had with Jason, their disagreement still echoing in her ears. She had wanted space, a moment to breathe, but space seemed to only magnify the growing distance between them. Each day, their relationship felt more like a series of cold transactions rather than a marriage. It was basically a commercial arrangement, and she couldn't help but feel constrained by its conditions. As her mind raced with ideas, Alicia's message on her phone beeped, requesting her to stop by. Kendall paused for a brief while. Alicia had been the one constant through all of this chaos. Their friendship, though tested, still provided a sliver of comfort. But lately, even Alicia seemed to be pulling back, her usual easy confidence replaced by an underlying tension. Still, Kendall needed someone, and she couldn’t turn Alicia away.Kendall rep

Kendall walked back and forth in the living room, thoughts rushing through her mind. After a few days passed, Alicia continued to hide things, and Kendall couldn't shake off the growing suspicion from their previous talk. Alicia was concealing something significant, something with the potential to alter everything. Kendall was fed up with the partial truths and avoiding responses. She required explanations, and she was determined to receive them this evening.Alicia showed up shortly after, her face tight as though she was already aware of what was about to happen. She entered cautiously, quickly scanning the room before focusing on Kendall."We have to have a conversation," Kendall said, her voice more harsh than she meant.Alicia let out a sigh as she placed her purse on the sofa. “I figured as much.”Kendall folded her arms, her stare never faltering. What have you kept from me, Alicia? I need the truth—about Jason, about the family. You let something slip the other day, and I know

Kendall was seated in her bedroom, holding her phone in her hands as she mindlessly looked through old text messages. The words exchanged with Alicia served as a reminder of happier days, preceding the tension that had damaged their friendship. She felt pain in her heart as she thought back to the recent confrontation, understanding she had reacted excessively. Alicia didn't deserve the severity of her treatment, especially considering their shared experiences.The loneliness was intolerable. Jason was distant, locked in his world of secrets and business, leaving Kendall to fend for herself emotionally. Alicia had always been reliable and dependable, the person she could always trust—until this moment. Kendall sighed deeply as she looked at Alicia's last message, the one she hadn't responded to: "I apologize for all that has happened.” Can we talk?"She had ignored it out of pride, but now that message felt like a lifeline. Kendall's lack of trust was also to blame for the rift, not j

Kendall reclined in her seat, the weight of their discussion lingering in the space around them. It felt like a barrier had been removed, exposing only pure truthfulness. She gazed at Alicia, who had gathered composure following their mutual confessions, her eyes still a little red but brimming with a determination Kendall hadn't witnessed in her previously. "We must improve for one another," Kendall started, her voice calm yet resolute. I have made errors, and you have made errors, but that is just part of life. We are human. The important thing now is the way we proceed. Alicia agreed, her hands firmly holding onto the table as if it was keeping her secure. I don't want to stop being friends with you, Kendall. I didn't understand the extent of my need for you until things began to deteriorate. You’re like… family to me.” Alicia's words had a tender effect on Kendall's heart. She had always thought of Alicia as a close friend, but this conversation was showing her the depth of the
