Mafia King & Model Queen

Chapter Twenty

The next day, Luke took Karly to the agency and went to the club. He walked in and went to the office and saw Kyle, Austin, and Eric sitting there.

"Hey guys, thanks for meeting me," Luke said.

"Said it was important," Austin said.

"What's up?" Eric asked.

"What do you guys think of Robert?" Luke asked.

"He seems cool," Austin said.

"He makes Mom happy," Eric said.

"Yeah, what about you?" Kyle asked.

"I noticed something the first time we met him," Luke said.

"What is it?" Austin asked.

"I don't know if I was seeing things but I noticed that he kept sneaking glances at your sister," Luke said.

"What?" Eric asked.

"Huh?" Austin asked.

"What are you saying?" Kyle asked.

"I am not sure, but he might have a thing for my girl," Luke said.

"What?!" Austin said.

"We need to keep an eye on him," Eric said.

"I got Drew and Sam on it," Luke said.

"And?" Austin asked.

"So far he's gone to work and to his place or out with your mom," Luke said.

"Maybe we should have a meeting with him," Kyle said.

"He won't admit it if we confront him," Luke said.

"Luke's right," Austin said.

"We just need to keep things as they are," Eric said. Luke's phone beeped and he looked at it.

"What's up?" Austin asked.

"Drew said he went to meet with a lawyer and then went to the courthouse with your mom," Luke said.

"What the hell?" Austin said.

"What's going on?" Eric asked.

"He went in to find out," Luke said. His phone beeped and his eyes widened.

"They are getting married!" Luke said.

"What!" Kyle said.

"Without us there?!" Austin said.

"What is going on?!" Eric said.

"Let's go tell your sister," Luke said. They went to the agency and walked in and saw Karly sitting at the desk going over paperwork. Kevin was sitting there cleaning his camera equipment.

"Hey guys," Karly said.

"We need to tell you something," Luke said.

"It's about Mom," Austin said.

"She and Robert went to the courthouse and got married," Eric said.

"What?!" Karly said.

"Luke had Drew and Sam follow him and that's how we found out," Kyle said.

"Oh god," Karly said.

"They barely know each other," Kevin said.

"It seems quick," Karly said.

"She did this without us," Austin said.

"She knew we wouldn't approve," Eric said. Amy and Robert came in and saw them.

"Good, you are all here, we have some news," Amy said.

"Mom?" Karly asked.

"What is it?" Kyle asked.

"We got married," Amy said.

"I'm your new stepdad," Robert said.

"Seems quick, doesn't it," Karly said.

"I know but it felt so right," Amy said.

"I know it seems sudden but I care about her and it felt right and I will not hurt her like he did," Robert said.

"I hope not or you will have to deal with us," Austin said.

"Yeah all of us," Eric said.

"We all know how to fire a gun," Karly said.

"I promise she won't get hurt," Robert said. Amy and Robert left after that. Austin and Eric went back to work. Karly sat there in deep thought.

"Karly baby?" Luke asked.

"Beautiful, what is it?" Kevin asked.

"What oh it's nothing, just thinking about everything," Karly said.

"Okay I have to get back to the club to do the paperwork there so I'll be back in a couple hours to pick you up," Luke said.

"Okay love you," Karly said.

"Love you too," Luke said. He kissed her and went out the door. Kevin looked at her.

"Okay what is it?" Kevin asked.

"It's nothing Kev," Karly said.

"Karly, you forget that I know you well," Kevin said.

"I guess you are right about that, close the door and lock it," Karly said. Kevin got up and closed it and locked it.

"What's up beautiful?" Kevin asked.

"I've met Robert before," Karly said.

"What?" Kevin asked.

"I was ashamed to say anything, he wasn't an accountant this whole time," Karly said.

"Karly?" Kevin said.

"After you left for Paris, I went back to school for my bachelor's degree, Robert was one of the professors," Karly said.

"Karly, no, don't say it," Kevin said.

"Kev," Karly said.

"You got involved with him?" Kevin asked.

"We were lovers," Karly said.

"Oh god," Kevin said.

"It was passionate and loving and wild but we couldn't be public," Karly said.

"So what ended it?" Kevin asked.

"He met another woman and fell in love and she was appropriate for him to be seen in public so we ended things because it wasn't fair to both of us to be a well kept secret," Karly said.

"So now he's married to your mom, and no one has no idea of the past between you two," Kevin said.

"And no one can know," Karly said.

"Your secret is safe with me, beautiful," Kevin said.

"Good," Karly said.

"So any feelings come back for him?" Kevin asked.

"None whatsoever, my heart belongs to Luke," Karly said.

"Do you think any feelings on his end?" Kevin asked.

"I don't know, I hope not, I can't lose Luke," Karly said.

"Since I know, I will talk to Robert," Kevin said.

"Please be sneaky about it, no one can find out," Karly said.

"I promise," Kevin said. They went on about their day. She hoped that the past would stay in the past but she doesn't know that what she hopes for is not the case.
