Mafia King & Model Queen

Chapter Seventeen

They walked into Jack's office and introduced Kevin to Jack.

"Jack, do you need a law partner?" Austin asked.

"I believe I could," Jack said.

"I have a degree in law and I passed my bar exam so I can practice it," Kevin said.

"You're in," Jack said.

"Part time if possible, I'm also the staff photographer for the agency," Kevin said.

"I'm sure we can work out something with Jack," Karly said.

"We can," Jack said.

"Jack, do you have all the stuff I got out of my father's safe?" Austin asked.

"I got it all right here," Jack said. They all sat down and looked through the papers and Karly found something and froze.

"Oh god," Karly said.

"What is it, baby?" Luke asked.

"Austin, you said this wasn't in there!" Karly said.

"I told you I didn't look though everything!" Austin said.

"You said you did!" Karly said.

"I must have missed it, sis," Austin said.

"What is it?" Luke asked.

"You won't like it," Karly said.

"Karly, let me see it," Luke said. She handed it to him and he looked at it.

"Is this even legal?" Luke asked.

"What is it?" Kevin asked.

"A marriage license," Austin said.

"Kevin, meet your wife," Luke said.

"What? How is that possible?" Kevin asked.

"My jerk of a father," Austin said.

"Jack?" Karly asked.

"It's legal, he also set up Kevin's internship knowing he would take it and leave Karly broken-hearted because he timed it with Amy's diagnosis," Jack said.

"Oh god," Kevin said.

"Son of a bitch!" Karly said.

"So they are legally married?" Luke asked.

"Yes Luke," Jack said. Karly looked at Luke. He stood there and looked at her and went out the door. Karly covered her face and cried. Austin hugged her close.

"I can undo this if you want me to," Jack said.

"I think that's a good idea, Jack, we can't be married because it wasn't our choice, it's wrong," Kevin said.

"I need to go find Luke," Karly said.

"I'll take you sis," Austin said.

"Jack and I will get this straightened out, Karly," Kevin said.

"I will fix this mess, Karly," Jack said. Karly and Austin went out the door and went to the club.

"Karly?" James asked.

"Is he here?" Karly asked.

"No sorry, you okay?" James asked.

"No I need to find him," Karly said.

"I'll call if he shows up," James said.

"Thanks," Karly said. They went out the door and she went home and ran in searching for him and found the house empty and his stuff still there. She ran out and went to his parents and rang the doorbell and Barbara opened it and saw her.

"Karly, honey, he's here talking with his father, he told us everything," Barbara said. She nodded and went in and found Luke talking with Peter.

"I lost her, Dad, she's married to him," Luke said.

"Luke?" Karly asked.

"You haven't lost her, man, Jack and Kevin are working on dissolving the marriage because it was wrong," Austin said.

"Don't you dare let me go, Luke Stone!" Karly said. Luke got up and came over and took her in his arms and she cried in his chest. He kissed her head.

"I'm sorry, I thought that since you guys were married, you would want to honor the marriage since it was legal, I can't lose you," Luke said.

"Then don't let me go, talk to me, don't just assume things and walk out, believe in me, believe in us," Karly said.

"I won't let you go, I promise," Luke said. He kissed her softly and held her to him.

"Let's go home," Karly said. They hugged his parents and went out the door. Austin hugged her and shook hands with him and left. Luke took her home and they sat down on the couch.
