Mafia King & Model Queen

Chapter Fifty Nine

The next day, she went to the agency and walked in and sat down at her desk and saw a pile of papers. She looked through them and saw they were resignations from the models. They couldn't work for her after what she's done. She saw Hayley puts hers in too. Kevin came in and sat down.

"Want to add yours to the pile?" Karly asked.

"No beautiful," Kevin said.

"I'm sure the word has spread, we have no models and no one will come work for me so might as well close up for good," Karly said.

"Karly," Kevin said.

"I did this to myself, I screwed it all up, this is my punishment," Karly said.

"I will talk to the models and Hayley," Kevin said.

"No, Kevin, go work for Jack full time, it's time to close up the doors, it's no use, I was doing this for my mom because I thought she was dead, she isn't, so it's time to let go," Karly said. She got up and they walked out the door and locked up and she hugged him and went home. She walked out back and sat down on the lounge chair and stared at the pool.

"Why are you home?" Luke asked.

"What's it matter, it's not baby related so why are you talking to me," Karly said.

"Karly," Luke said.

"Ask your sister, I'm sure she will tell you and you will figure it out," Karly said.

"I'm asking my wife," Luke said.

"Oh I'm your wife now," Karly said.

"Karly, talk," Luke said.

"Your sister and all the models resigned from the agency, because of what I did and knowing them, they probably spread the word so no one would come work there, Kevin was the only one who stayed, so I closed the agency for good," Karly said.

"I will talk to her," Luke said.

"Don't bother, I only kept it going for my mother whom I thought was dead but since she isn't, it's time to let go and move on, the models will find other agencies to take them, your sister will be okay, Kevin can work with Jack full time, I can figure out what to do, I'll be okay," Karly said.

"Fine, I'll be at the club, call if you have any problems," Luke said.

"Fine whatever," Karly said. He left and she sat there staring at the pool. She felt tears run down her cheeks. She felt so alone. Her brothers and sisters turned their backs on her. She still had her dad and Angela. She no longer had her work. Her husband pretty much ended things. She knew she made the biggest mistake of her life by even telling Robert where she was and sleeping with him. She wished she could go back and change things.

"Karly?" Abby asked.

"Abby, what are you doing here?" Karly asked.

"I wanted to check on you," Abby said.

"Does Austin know you are here?" Karly asked.

"No, he doesn't, he hates what you did, he's not talking to Robert much right now, Karly, he and Eric are telling people that they only have two sisters, they say they had three but now they have two because one died," Abby said.

"So I'm dead to them, great, just great," Karly said.

"Karly, I'm sorry, I thought you should know what they are saying," Abby said.

"That's fine, I'm an only child, I can live with that," Karly said.

"I don't want to stop being your friend though," Abby said.

"Austin will put a stop to it," Karly said.

"Then I'll leave him, we aren't married so he has no control over me, he's not the boss of me," Abby said.

"I know he loves you a great deal and sees a future with you, don't throw that away because of me, I'm not worth it, Abby," Karly said.

"You made a mistake, Karly, and you are paying for it but you need a friend," Abby said.

"Kevin hasn't turned his back on me, so I still have a friend," Karly said.

"You have me also, I won't let him stop me from being your friend," Abby said.

"It's your choice," Karly said. She stayed with her for an hour before leaving because Austin was calling her. Karly went in and ate lunch. Rick came over.

"Hi sweetheart," Rick said.

"Hi Dad," Karly said.

"How you holding up?" Rick asked.

"All I have is you, Mom, Kevin, and Abby on my side, Abby told me that Eric and Austin are telling people that they only have two sisters and one dead sister, apparently I'm the dead sister," Karly said.

"I will talk to them," Rick said.

"No, Dad, don't bother, I did this to myself, I deserve it," Karly said.

"No sweetheart, they should stand by you no matter what," Rick said.

"I said don't bother!" Karly said. She sat there holding her head in her hands and started sobbing. Rick took her in his arms and held her. She cried against him.

"What's going on?" Luke asked.

"Abby came over and told her that Austin and Eric are telling people that they only have two sisters and one dead sister, Karly's the dead sister," Rick said.

"Dumbasses," Luke said.

"I'm heading over to talk to them," Rick said.

"No Dad, just leave it be," Karly said.

"Sweetheart," Rick said.

"Just leave it alone!" Karly said. She went upstairs and showered and got into bed and went to sleep.
