Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 107

She’d never really been a mom to them—not even for a single day. Now, she just wanted to make up for lost time, to give her two little ones all the love she should’ve given them from the start.

Clive didn’t get in her way.

While Amelia’s healthy meal was still simmering on the stove, two Michelin-starred chefs showed up at the door with the food Clive had ordered.

“Amelia, I picked out all your favorites,” Clive said, sounding thoughtful.

Amelia just glanced at the dishes. The truth was, these weren’t her favorites—they were his.
