Karma Is Omnipresent

I Know It Is Well

Amara's POV

Present Day

Pain that sometimes is felt in the soul is the most painful type of pain. You feel it so deep and you want it to end but you just don't know how to go about it, you want to get out of it and look for a way forward but you can't find your way because it's like you are groping around in the dark for a way out but with no light. This type of pain can't really be felt physically which is how we feel pain most times and this is exactly the type of pain I'm currently in. I feel like my life isn't going the way I have always wanted it to, I feel lost, alone and heartbroken and hence, why I'm standing in front of a church. People have always talked so much about God and how great He is and I really need a God in my life right now, I need that light that I always see in the people who talk so much about Him. 

I walk into the church and make my way to the altar. Once at the altar , I kneel and begin to cry, the words can't come out. The only thing I could do was cry and I did with so much pain in my soul. As I was doing that, I felt someone place their hand on my back

"It's going to be ok"

"No, it's not, it won't be"

The pastor, I'm guessing him to be just took a seat on one of the front row pews and waited for me to take a seat bedside him. Once I was done, I took a seat beside him and just looked at the cross at the front wall of the church. He kept quiet waiting for me to talk and I did, I confessed everything to him. I felt safe and secure in the church and around him.

"You know that revenge is not always the answer, you may have gotten what you want but at the end of the day, it won't bring an end to whatever emotions you are feeling", 

"What do you mean I should not revenge? There is nothing that can stop me from doing what is in my mind"

"And after that if you keep feeling the way you do what will you do next?" I was silent. I honestly had no answer to the question. I ignored him, I couldn't wait for God to revenge like he was telling me he would, I wanted to do it my way and I would.

As I walked out of the church, I felt relieved a little, not so much but a little. There was no way I was listening to what that pastor had just told me about not taking revenge. Even if I would still feel this same way afterwards, I don't care, I would have my way with her till I am satisfied. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see the person coming towards me until I bumped into them and all our things fell to the floor.

"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going"

"It's okay, I also wa.." I looked up when he stopped talking and I felt my heart literally stop beating for a second

"Thea", he breathlessly said my name

"Wyatt", the tears came back this time with full force. Ten years really made a difference on him. He was looking really muscular and buff like he spent his whole life in a gym and he had a beard, a full on beard. In short, he was looking really good and looking at him, I realized just how much of a softie I am and how bad I had missed my family. I had always been acting hard and cold but looking at Wyatt made me realize how far I was from that. He pulled me into a deep hug and started crying along with me.

"Where have you been? Look at you, you look so big and different. I'm so happy to see you and I can't wait for Nana and dad to see you", he was rambling excitedly

"NO!! You can't tell anyone I'm back. You weren't supposed to even know until I was through with my business",

"What business? Why don't you want anyone to know? Do you know how broken everyone is and how we all thought you could be dead but we kept having hopes that you were alive and now you are saying I shouldn't tell anyone. Mars, I'm ready to tell the whole freaking world "

"You don't understand"

"Make me. I have all the time in the world" I sigh in defeat and I take him to my apartment.

                            ******************************************************************************

We get back to my place and Genesis opens the door shirtless and gives me a peck on the lips which must have been really awkward for Wyatt because to him I will always be his baby sister. And yeah, I forgot to tell you that Genesis and I are together. Wyatt clears his throat and I think it's just then that Genesis notices him.

"Genesis, this is Wyatt, my elder brother and Wyatt, this is Genesis m.." 

"Her current lover, future husband and partner" Genesis cuts me off because he knows I would leave out the dating part because of my brother. I walk straight in with Wyatt on my tail and take him to the living room.

"I know you are happy and angry with me at the same time but I will explain everything to you"

"Well start talking" still the same impatient boy but now a man. 

"The main reason I'm back is for a reunion and to get revenge but I know that if I get back to you guys first it'll put a big dent in my plans and maybe even stop it"

"Who are you getting revenge on?"

"Mabel"

"I thought she was your friend"

"Well she was until she sold me out to a mafia group. I want her to pay for taking ten years of my life but Wyatt, Mabel gave me something and something back, things I didn't think I'll ever get."

"If she gave you back somethings, why do you still want to get revenge?"

"The fact that I'm cancelling out some things from what I intend to do to her is enough thanks"

"Well, what did she give you?"

"Wyatt, she gave me a lover and I met mum"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I saw mum and I talked to her. We got close and we still talk till today"

He looked so shocked and I could tell he was struggling to come to terms with what I had just told him. Almost immediately, his expression changed to pure anger and I could guess what he was thinking about. 

"Calm down Wyatt. She didn't tell me exactly what made her disappear but she said she will tell us in due time. It's also a part of my plan to take her away from where she is"

"Amara, you can never understand. She left after you were five so there is no way you can understand. How did you even know she was mum?"

"You know how dad said we had identical birthmarks on our waist and we looked exactly alike?"

"Yeah, so?"

"The man I was working for, mum works there and the day or the first time I saw her was when I fell and my dress tore. She approached me, but I was in too much pain to listen to her it was only when I noticed she had stopped talking that I turned to look her. At first, I began to panic thinking maybe I had a serious injury but when I turned to look her, she was staring at the scar on my waist and I was frozen too, just amazed of how I was looking at myself without a mirror and well the rest is history."

He just dismissed all I had said with a wave of his hand. He can't understand, I believe it so much that she did not choose to leave on her own. She was always looking scared look on her face and was always looking over her shoulder. 

"Wyatt, I have a feeling that mum is in a lot of trouble"

"Why do you say so?"

"It's just that while we were still together, she always looked shaken up and scared and she was always looking over her shoulder. I couldn't sneak up on her or she will start hyperventilating. I don't think mum left us on her own accord, I feel she was forced into it and I'll figure that out while working on Mabel because I have a feeling she knows something about it too." 

"How far have you gone on your 'project'?" he asked me while making air quotes when he said project.

"Well, it's none of your business because I don't want you involved but we have made significant progress. Genesis, do you have anything new?"

At his name he walks in still shirtless while making a yes signal at me. I think he is deliberately trying to annoy my brother because I've told him all about Wyatt and how he is over protective but still calm only for a bit though but if Nicholas was alive and he was the one here not Wyatt, I think Genesis will be in a hospital by now. 

"Why are you still shirtless? We are in business mode right now." He smirks in response and my suspicions are confirmed. Before I could say anything, Wyatt speaks up, clearly pissed. 

"Dude, put on a f*****g shirt. The fact that you kissed her in my presence is enough to anger me and now you are moving around shirtless! Mars is my baby sister and she will always be, so when all this is over my dad and I will decide whether or not you are good enough for her so in the mean time, act like her business partner because it makes it easier for me to not think about or imagine you and her together in a different sense", he shudders at the last part and I laugh at that. Genesis seems a little irked by what Wyatt just said but I can see that he is trying to be calm about it and he doesn't get up to wear a shirt. I shake my head at him and ask him to proceed.

"Well, she lives in the woods, a really beautiful home in the woods and I have found a loop hole. One of the dudes undercover told me she wants to hire some patrol workers, maybe she knows you'll get her one day but I think that is a good chance to go in. Not to necessarily attack immediately but to be able to get into the home"

"That's great enough. I want you to get as many workers as you can into that house." He nods in response and begins typing on his laptop.

"Mars, don't you think when the police get to know about this you'll go to jail?"

"I'm angry but not stupid Wyatt. Mabel and her crew are wanted big time by the cops but there has been no credible evidence to lock them up. I have all the dirt and more they need to lock them away forever. Including the information of the people they have worked with and all the lives they have ruined, that's my get out of jail card"

"You must have really planned this all out huh. Well, I guess there is no stopping you now since I thought the issue of the cops will scare you but you are very well prepared. All I want to say now is please be careful. I can't and I won't loose you again." I get up to hug him so tight

"And you won't, I promise. But now you have to leave. You can't tell anyone about this and you must not try to get involved in this"

"Mars please, let me help, I'm sure I can be of great help"

"Wyatt, please don't make this harder for me. The most I can do is to let you call me and visit me only once in a week. Please don't make this any harder." 

I can tell he is just trying to be satisfied with the conditions I have given him but he has to be, when I'm through we will have all the time in the world. I walk him to the door and give him another long hug before letting him go

"I love you and stay safe okay"

"I love you too sis", he pecks my forehead before heading out.

 Once I close the door, I rest my back on it and slide down and cry, it's all I have done today, cry and cry. I wanted nothing than to go to all my friends and family and introduce Genesis to my family and friends and just have a peaceful life but we can't always have what we want or have things go our way. I stand up and wipe my tears before going to meet Genesis. It's only a matter of time Mabel, only a matter of time.
