Karl Thompson

Drumming my fingers against my knee, i looked out the window, trying to ignore the woman sitting next to me.

Tonight's dinner had been ridiculous thanks to April and Kaily. What was supposed to be another punishment to Lucy, might have turned out to be a good night for her. But not for me.

Taking her to dinner was supposed to show her the family she will never be accepted in to, a family that will forever despise her for what she did to my baby sister.

I pursued this marriage for one purpose only. But my own sisters are ruining it. But they're not the only ones ruining it. So am i.

This woman confuses. I know who she is and what she's capable of, but in the one weeks I've been married to her, i am yet to see her ugly side, maybe if i push hard enough, she would show her true colors.

I couldn't resist the urge to glance over to her direction. Lucy's looking out the window with her palms pressed against each other.

    Lucy ChawI looked through my boss' schedule and squeezed in a meeting with a potential investor before lunch.The Davis Company has been growing even more and stock price has shot through the roof. Stretched my arms above my head, i tried to relax my soar muscles. Last night had taken a tool on me. And even though the two tubes of ice cream i emptied helped, i still felt bad for eating so much.The dinner had really upset me. After the forced meal, we'd all collectively sat in the large sitting room in total silence. April tried her best to comfort me with a smile or by sitting next to me. But after a few minutes later, their parents asked to talk to April alone.They'd made their way to the room next to the one we were all at. Their voice was muffled but i could still guess that they were having a heated argument.After they returned, April had kept her distance from me and refused to even look at me. That moment had been unbearable. But just as Karl an

    11:30I sighed as i watched the hours tik by and there is no sign or Karl. I wanted to take Dr. Goodman's advice and talk to Karl, tell him everything then see if he would understand or rub it in my face. But he still hasn't come home.I looked over to the dining table and another sigh escaped my lips. The dinner i made for him is now cold. The Creamy Steak Fettuccine i made following ever direction of a YouTube channel sat pretty at the middle of the circle table.I decided I'll wait a couple more minutes and then I'll leave it alone. when the clock hits midnight and i was getting up to put the dishes away, i heart the front door open and close, followed by Karl's slow footsteps.I waited for him to appear in the hall. Karl had his suit jacket off and hanging over his right arm as he used the left to rub his eyes. He looked pretty exhausted with how his always tense shoulders are slumped down."Karl?" I called out and saw his froze. After a couple of seconds, Karl turned his pale bl

    The car was filled in silence as Karl drove me to work the next morning. Last night, after sharing dinner with Ethan and Stuart, i had made sure to stay downstairs a little longer to make sure that Karl would be asleep before i join him.I can never know what could set him off and he is harmless in his sleep so it was the best choice.I'd sat on the bed for about ten minutes and watched him sleep. With all the glare, scowl, the pushed together eyebrows and the angry curl of his lips, Karl looked like an angel. He seemed as gentle and as soft as a giant Inc-ed teddy bear that i couldn't help but stare. This morning, instead of just making toast for myself, i made some eggs too, just like i did the day before, but Karl refused to look at it, let alone eat it. Lossing my appetite, I told Ethan and Stuart that they can have their breakfast.I've learned that those two have a live-in job. Which means they live with us and stay in the guest house. From what I've seen when i first moved in

    To say that i was excited was an understatement.As soon as i got off work, i rushed home and got to cooking. I didn't hold back on anything. I made sure the meal was going to be perfect and so was the talk we would have.And just when the clock hit 8:30, i was more than a nervous bubble. Knowing that Karl would be home soon, i started on the dining table and set everything up. The entire room was filled with the scent of fried chicken stiffed with cheese and the potatoes that i air fried.When the front door opened, i could contain my excitement anymore. So i rushed towards the hall to see him. But my excitement dies when i see that it wasn't Karl but Ethan."I thought i heard a car. Is Karl home?" I asked, feeling weird for calling this house a home for the very first time.I watched as Ethan's eyes traveled over to the dining room and he awkwardly cleared his throat."Mr. Thompson won't be coming." He said, feeling me with despair "He was called for a family dinner at the Thompson

    I carefully walked down the stairs with April and Zeus leading infront.The red dress stops just below my knee and is so tight that i need to be careful when I'm walking in these red, devil might care, heels.I ran my fingers through my hair and pushed it off my face. Zeus had released my hair from the bun and had spilt it in half. The long, black strands fall on either side of my face, down both my shoulders. The three of us returned to the main sitting room. April took the seat next to Kaily and Zeus next to their parents. The only available seat was next to either Karl or next to June. With the glare June was sending my way, i chose to sit next to Karl.I can see from the corner of my eyes that Karl was staring at me. Not with a glare or anything... Just staring at me.I found my right hand fingers playing with my wedding band on my left ring finger."You look very beautiful, Lucy." Kaily complemented me and i found myself smiling at the youngest Thompson."Thanks. It's all thanks

    Karl Thompson.It's been three weeks since the last time I've heard her voice.My home has gone from being a tension ball to being a cold freaking freezer. Lucy Chaw, my wife, no longer looks like a living thing. Just a ghost moving from place to place.The last night i heard her soft voice was the night she's surprised me with a sudden question.'why did you marry me?' she had asked me and i wasn't able to give her a straight answer. Instead, I'd done the one thing I'm good at doing when she's around me. I'd spat venomous words at hee, hoping it would reminding me the very purpose of this little arranged marriage.From then on, Lucy kept to herself, never talking to me and always made sure to never look at me. If i told her to do something, she'd just nod her head but never spoke with her voice.She's also stopped cooking for me. Not that I'd ever eaten the breakfast she made and always came late for dinner. But still, it some how upset me.She has stopped cooking for me, but she hasn

    Lucy Chaw.The drive this morning has been weird. Not only did Karl tell me that we have a dinner to attend himself instead of sending Ethan to get me, he had wished me a good day.For the last three weeks, I've been trying my best to be invisible. Which involved not talking to him and making sure I'm not in the kitchen when he comes down to get his morning coffee.The last thing i want is for Karl to send me away. He's made sure to remind me that i mean absolutely nothing to him that night three weeks ago. It's not a secret that Karl wants to see me hurt. But the pain is not as great as it was when i was back t my family's home. That house is filled with memories filled with nothing more than trauma i don't ever want to visit again.So, if being as invisible as a ghost is what i have to do to say here and never go back to the Chaw house, then so be it.But Karl striking up a conversation this morning was hell'a weird. Pushing the thought of my husband

    Ethan stopped the car infront of the Thompsons Mansion and got out to run around the car and open the door for us."Now remember, Lucy. You are officially my model so i need you to square your shoulders and lift your chin up.""I'm sorry but how much are you paying Lucy to do this.""Shut up, Zeus. She is my sister-in-law. No such thing as price on sisterhood. Now get out of the car, asshole."April shoved Zeus's shoulder over my own and he glared t her before getting out. After taking a deep breath, i followed Zeus and waited for April to follow.Zeus took the lead with his materials in a bag hanging from his finger tips.Taking another deep breath, i walked up the small steps towards the large wooden door. It was almost dinner time so the three of us went into the dining room.Candis Thompson was sitting at the head of the table wearing all purple. And Karl's mother and father sat at either side of her. The rest of us took our places where we usually sit, meaning i had to sit next t

    Lucy Chaw... You know how the say the groom shouldn't see the bride in her wedding dress or else bad things will happen on your wedding day? Well I used to think that it was just a silly superstition. It's not. Preparing for the second wedding had taken a bit longer than we thought. It took me a few weeks to make the dress with the help of my two sister-in-laws and the over all preparation had taken a few more weeks which meant that April, June and I had to alter the dress around the waist all over again. But after much time of preparation, we are finally ready to renew our vows. Karl and I never had vows on our wedding because, it was never a marriage of Love. But now, we want to do it the right way, say what we want to say, read our vows to each other in front of our friends and families. Finally, at thirty- six month pregnant, I was finally ready to marry my husband again. But... but... After April helped me in to my dress and we were a few minutes short from walking down th

    Karl Thompson..."I'm almost there. Traffic jam is not a joke today." April's frustrated voice came from the other side of the phone."Alright, take your time and drive safe." I warned before hanging up the phone."Is she here yet?" June asked, catching my attention.I looked at my younger sister sitting front across me in my office and I shook my head."She's stuck in traffic." I commented and watched as June leaned back on her seat with a sigh."I'm kind of nervous." She said after a few seconds of silence.Looking down at the document on top of my desk, I nodded my head.I understood her nerves. April had been wanting to be apart of the Thompsons Fashion since she was a little girl. Her ambition had grown even more when June started working here.I still don't know what my two sisters talked about or when and how they made up but ever since they did made up, the two have been attached to each others hips.Their sisterhood has grown so much that April invites June out for

    Karl pulled me over to the room across from our girls room and opened the door.If breathtaking was the last room, then this one almost caused me to pass out."Happy birthday, wife." Karl whispered in to my ear as he stepped behind me and gently pushed me further into the room.There are shelves filled with large, different colored fabrics, a few mannequins stood here and there, a large pale pink table stood in the center of the room.The walls are graced with beautiful arts and designed wall papers. There are empty picture frames hanging on the walls."There are empty so you can feel them with anything you want." Karl commented from behind me as he let go of my hips and let me wonder further into the room.I stepped closer to the shelves holding the fabrics and I couldn't help but reach out and pinch them between my thumb and forefinger just to see if they were actually here.The fabrics felt expensive in my fingers, so beautiful and elegant.I looked across from the shelve to see a

    I looked around the backyard as our friends and family sang me a happy birthday.The beautiful birthday decoration stood behind me and my birthday cake stood in front.I pressed my palms flat against each other in front of me and listened. My cheeks were already hurting from having to smile too much but I couldn't stop my lips from stretching.I looked at the faces of my friends and families, each of them having a smile in their faces and I couldn't believe the fact that they were all here for me.I leaned closer to the cake once they finished singing me a happy birthday and took a deep breath to blow out the candles. I made sure to close my eyes and make a wish before the last candle was out.I glanced at Karl, who winked at me, quite literally winked at me, forcing heat to burn my cheeks.Soon enough, the cake was cut and pieces were making their ways out to our guests. Karl took my hand and led me to a chair. I let out a groan as soon as I dropped myself in the chair because I did

    I took a deep breath as Zeus finished his final touch and stepped back to take a look at his work."Do I look better?" I asked.Zeus chuckled before he offered me his hand and helped me up. I stepped towards the mirror and looked at my reflection. Zeus gave me a soft smile as he placed his hands on my shoulders."You look beautiful, Lucy." He commented. "I mean... I wan the one who did your make up, so it's only natural that you look your best."I playfully glared at Zeus through the mirror before a smile made its way to my lips."Thank you." I whispered. "You really are a life saver."Zeus nodded his head. He really was a life saver. In the last ten minutes, he was able to remove all the runny and ruined make up off of my face and do a soft natural look, all while trying to calm me down."Don't worry about it. I got you." He patted my shoulder before he started collecting the brushes from the sink."Still. I'm really grateful. And I'm sorry I made a scene out there."Zeus stopped col

    Lucy Chaw...I stared at my reflection with uncertainty. Placing both of my hands on my large baby bump, I looked down at my long, pale pink dress through the full length mirror. Instead of feeling happy and excited, I feel scared.I don't know why but it all felt fake. Like if I close my eyes for too long then it would all disappear and turn in to a far memory I could barely reach.The long dress Karl bought for me is beautiful and looks way too expensive. The pale pink fabric is decorated with small dusted golden glitter form the top to bottom. This morning, after Karl and I had breakfast alone because he said the cousin twins had an "Errand" to run, a group of stylists and make up artists had invaded the house and kept me locked up in our bedroom, pulling at my hair, stabbing at my face...Okay, fine. I may be over reacting.There were actually only three women that came at Karl's request. One woman to style my hair, one woman to deal with my make up and a third wo

    The entire family clapped their hands as soon as the youngest Thompson walked up to the stage and got her medical degree.The loud noice, claps and cheers caught Kaily's attention and she waved over to us with a shy smile in her face.From the moment she walked up on the stage to the moment she walked down, each of us showed our support.Lucy stood beside me, happily clapping her hands for my baby sister. It really surprised me when I saw the two walking into the sitting room together the night of Kaily's surprise party. But what shocked me more was the fact that those two have gotten closer to each other to the point that the two, including April were making plans to have a sleepover at April's old apartment.All of us sat down after Kaily was off the stage and I couldn't help but look around me.Every single Thompson was here including our grandmother Candis. Although, I was a bit surprised when she warmly greeted Lucy when we all met our front before we walked in.Lucy looked just

    Karl Thompson...I looked down at the package Stuart just gave me as I was walking up to the front door of our house.It's addressed to my wife but since Stuart and Ethan were both aware about the stress we're dealing with thanks to Garzei Chaw, they had decided that they didn't want to stress her out. So, they waited for me to come home to give me the package.I walked through the long hall and then up the stairs to make my way to our shared bed room. But before I could reach out room, my eyes traveled over to the rest of the bedrooms and empty rooms on our floor.I glanced at our bed room door before walking past it. I silenced my footsteps and walked over to the next room which was the same room Lucy was staying at when she first came back home. I reached out for the door knob and twisted it open Seeing this room reminded me of that horrible night. Looking side way at the door, it almost made me feel like I need to rip it out. It made me feel like I need to rip out

    Lucy Chaw...I sat at the back of the car with Ethan in the drivers seat.I scrolled through my phone, absently looking at the screen as I kept recalling the session I just had with Dr. Goodman.We didn't talk about anything different from the last session, although I did mention the shock of a life time when Karl and I found out that we were having twins. Dr. Goodman had congratulated me before she started analyzing me again. She had asked me questions I wasn't able to give answers to, like, why I was so freaked out when I realized that the baby was not just a baby but babies.I had tried to sum it up to hormones and move on but the look Dr. Goodman gave me made me really uncomfortable. It was as if she was telling me that most families with backgrounds like Karl and I wouldn't be upset if we have two or three kids come at us at once. So, why had I been so freaken upset.I sighed as I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.I had a pretty fun morning. Spending time w
