Karl held on to my hand as Ethan drove us to the Thompsons Mansion for the usual Sunday family dinner.I looked down at our intertwined fingers and couldn't stop the smile crawling on my face. I glanced at Karl to see that he was staring at me.Feeling my cheeks warm a bit, i quickly looked away without being able to wipe the smile off my face.The last week had been the best week of my entire life. Karl was just the best husband ever. Sure our beginning was a rocky path but it's smoothing out now.He's been very attentive. He always make it home for diner and would help me with the dishes. Then, he'd complaining about how heavy hos guys feel and so we'd settle for a kate night movie of either his or my choice. And through out the entire movie and the rest of the night, he wouldn't let go of my hand.I've found a great deal of comfort with him and I've been feeling myself become... Normal. Like i don't have to constantly feel guilty about my past.Karl would drive me to work while cha
Karl ThompsonI looked down at the beautiful woman laying in my arms. She'd been so trued that she wouldn't wake up when we arrived hime, so i had to carry her up the stairs and tuck her in bed.Not being able to stay away for too long, i had quickly changed out of my suit and joined her in bed.Lucy was sleeping so peacefully with her hands pressed against each other and tucked under her head. I couldn't resist the urge to hold her in my arms, so, I did. Lucy had immediately snuggled against me as soon as I'd pulled her closer.She felt so small and fragile in my arms that it provoked all my protective instincts.The look on Lucy's face back in the car kept playing in my head. The look of pure terror and heartbreak was painted all over her face.I was angry at dinner. Not angry at Lucy but at what June had said. It reminded me of the reasons as to why i offered to marry Lucy. But the months I've lived with her have proven that this woman is not the person sh
Lucy ChawI walked back to my desk with the files my boss wanted organized. Placing the documents down in top of my desk, i round it up to drop myself on the seat.As i was reaching for the first file, the wedding band on my left ring finger caught my attention and i couldn't help the butterflies that suddenly swarmed my stomach.Marriage life has been amazing. Even with that one bad dinner at the Thompsons Mansion about a month ago, Karl hadn't stopped being open to me. With each passing day, i can feel the both of us growing closer.In the last couple of months, we gone from being strangers to being somehow a truly married couple.We've went from avoiding one another to sharing every meal we can get together.We've went from giving each other our backs to holding hands through out the night. And from the day June had insulted me infront of the family, Karl has been pulling me closer when we're sleeping.Our drive to work every morning is no longer a ten
I sipped the dress April made for me and walked over to the full length mirror. I smoothen the front of the dress as i tilt my head to the side.I carefully looked at my figure and turned side to side. It might just be me, but i think I've filled out this dress more than i did a few month ago.I've been eating healthy home made meals a lot now and thanks to Karl, I never miss breakfast and Dinner. It explains why i haven't been able to see my ribs anymore, because I've gained some weight.If my parents see me now, boy would they be mad. I've been on a strict diet pretty much most of my life with some unhealthy physical exercises that included wearing a really tight corset.But now, looking at myself, i can feel that small insecurity lifting off my shoulders. I've always been a little embarrassed by how bony i am. Having a little curve make me feel better, like I won't break any moment soon. "That dress really is made for you." Karl commented from behind me. "You look beautiful, wife.
April was first to greet Karl and I when we walked in. And then by Zeus followed by his parents.Julia Thompson has been quite accepting ever since i shared my horrible college experience with the family. That had been one of the most horrible experience of my life, but seeing as it brought my mother-in-law law and I a little bit close, I'll take it.There were a lot of people standing around the main sitting room, all dressed in elegant dresses and suits.With my arm still locked with Karl, we moved around the room and greeted sme of the people Karl knew either personally or through business.Everyone was kind while talking to us, all except June of course. She doesn't even bother to come and say hi to her brother, all because he brought me here.About an hour later, the door opened again and Princi and my boss walked in.All eyes, and i mean all eyes turned to look at her and by God, that hoody dress is fabulous.The dark shade of red did complement Princi's skin and the dress falls
Karl Thompson..."I'm fine, April. I really am. I ... I was just a little tired. That's why we had to leave early."I heard Lucy talking to my sister over facetime."I know Jun did something ... It's so unfair, the way she's treating you. I'm really sorry to drag you in to this mess." April apologized to Lucy, who was quick to shake her head."Don't apologize. Forget about it. I really am okay now. But i have to say, the dress you made for Princi is pretty legendary."I walked out of the bathroom while drying my hair with a small towel. Lucy is sitting with her back pressed against the headboard of our bed and her lower half covered by the comforter. My wife looks over to me and her face is instantly covered with a big smile, drawing out my own."Who's making you smile like that?" I heard April ask and a chuckle escaped my lips when Lucy turned red, q healthy and cute shade of red.Clearing her throat, she looked back to her phone."Doesn't matter. Anyway, you'r
I looked at the woman sitting across from me. I stared at her with a little bit of hate. Cristal Chaw ... I don't have anything against her personally. But when she looks at the food infront of her and then turn her judgmental eyes over to my wife in disapproval, i do have a problem with her.Lucy, sitting right next to me, was looking down her lap, nervously turning and twisting her wedding band on her ring finger.I'd woken up this morning to find my wife already home and moving frantically in the kitchen. She'd went all out and made a full meal for breakfast because her mother was coming to visit.Lucy had spent hours cooking breakfast just to impress her mother, yet, the woman walks in, looks around the dining table and then at my wife. I saw the unmistakable look of judgment.Now, all the food Lucy cooked has gone cold without her mother even picking up a fork and my wife looks completely down because of it.I've also seen how Cristal has been assessing her daughter from head to
I drive my car like a mad man. Not only did i have to go to work on a Saturday morning to stop my sisters from tearing my company down, i had to leave my wife back at home when i know i shouldn't leave her all alone.I'd offered to bring her way with me but Lucy had declined, saying she was too drained and tired to join me. I get it. If my mother spent a great deal of time shaming me, I'd be down to.Clenching the steering wheel with both my hands, i saw my knuckles turn white and looked ready to pop off.I pulled up infront of the Thompsons Fashion, TF for short, and hopped out of the car without caring to properly park it. Throwing the car keys at my assistant who was rushing out of the large front entrance and walked past him.He knows what to do with my car.I then went straight to the conference rooms my sisters were locked in. The head of HR had hesitantly informed me that the two conference rooms might not be in a good shape by the time i arrive.I took the elevator and as so
