Chapter 5
Karen sat staring at herself in the large oval mirror that was provided for her in the church dressing room. It was only a little while until her wedding and she was much more nervous then she thought she would be. This is the day, she thought.
She felt like a princess. Her dress was a white silk gown that went down to the ground. The top was a strapless corset with small diamond beading. The bottom was a solid silk with a long train behind. The diamond top went perfect with the diamond tiara that was in her simply curled hair. Her hair framed her face that was flawless. It fell right on her shoulders, not covering her diamond necklace. Karen had never seen do many diamonds. They were amazing. They made her look amazing.
All of this and she wasn't happy. Why?
"Well aren't you a picture sweetheart?"
Oh, that's why.
"Hello Mrs. Walker." Karen said sweetly.
"Please, call me Silvia. You're my future daughter. Just don't call me Sill; I hate that almost as much as I hate liars."
"You don't have to worry about that, Silvia." Karen replied.
"Well, you see, I don't know about that. You did something to my Stanley. He was perfectly happy before you came into the picture, sweets. He was happy with his wife. She was such a sweet girl. She was quiet and reserved, never got in the way. Now all Stan can talk about it you."
Karen didn't like where this was going so she decided to step in for herself.
"I love Stanley Walker. I wouldn't be here if I didn't." she tried nicely.
"Do you love Stan or his money; because he only loves you for your looks?"
"Of course I love Stanley and he loves me. How dare you think otherwise?" Karen said, almost appalled.
"Well what else am I supposed to think, sweetheart? Stan has millions and you have what? $20? I think you love his bank account, not him."
"I love every part of my husband." Karen said, starting to get angry.
"I bet you do."
"Listen to me…" Karen started
"Will your father be here soon? I hope so I wouldn't want you walking down the isle alone." Silvia saw the look of hurt in Karen's eyes and knew she hit home. "Oh I'm sorry, he's not here. How about your…sorry again." She said as innocent as a child. "It's no big deal that none of your family or friends are here and the rest of New York is." Silvia finished with an evil smirk.
Karen knew she was completely right. Ever since the news got out she had been the center of the news. The wedding was being called the 'wedding of the year' by magazines everywhere. Cameras were always flashing in her face. She wasn't even a celebrity and yet she was being treated like one. It was almost impossible to get into the church because there were reporters everywhere. She almost wished her mother was with her. Almost.
Even though Karen knew what Silvia was saying was true, she couldn't let her get the best of her. Karen learned that to be in the high society world you had to be forward. There was no backing down from anyone or you would be eaten alive. She knew this to well because she wasn't used to being the center of attention at parties, but since she was new, she automatically was. She learned how to stick up for herself and now was no different.
"Now you listen to me, Silvia, I love Stanley Walker with all my heart. I don't really care what you think. I'm sorry that you don't like me, but I don't care. I have tried my hardest to get on your good side but it hasn't worked. So I guess it never will. I'm sorry that I have more of a voice than Kathy. So I'm sorry that you wont be able to walk all over me, honey. But what I'm most sorry about is that the power has shifted. We both know that I can get anything I want from Stanley. You no longer hold any power over him. Now you're going to move aside and let me be the perfect trophy wife. Why? Because I said so, honey. So get used to me being here, because honey, I'm not going anywhere, but into Stanley Walkers arms." Karen finished, rather pleased with herself. She had never sounded so mean before but she liked it. It got Silvia attention and got her to back down.
"Well I…I…"
"Yes Silvia?" Karen asked sweetly
Silvia didn't say anything as she turned to the door with fire burning in her eyes.
"Oh Silvia, Honey, how long do I have until the march?"
"About 30 minutes." Then she walked out the door, but not before hearing,
"Thanks Sill."
When Karen was sure Silvia was gone she fell onto the couch and started to cry. She's right, she's right. Karen thought. She managed to convince her that she now held the power, but what if she was wrong? What if Stan would get rid of her for his mother? There was one important thought running her mind.
Do I love Stan?
Karen finally stood and walked over to the mirror. She fixed her make up and got ready for her wedding. She was going to make this work. She was going to be Mrs. Stanley Walker for the rest of her life.
When she heard the music start she walked to the door and got ready for the big moment. As she walked to the doors that would open to all the people she thought, even if I'm not in love with him, I do love him in a way.
As the doors opened and Karen started walk down the isle, nobody could deny she looked beautiful. Karen started to smile and suddenly her confidence jump higher than ever.
Watch out high society, because here comes Karen Walker.
if you have any suggestion for my writing that would be a big help too. thank you to all my readers.
