Business King's Lover Chapter 0 - The Amnesiac Porcelain Doll
"Sophia! Sophia! Where are you?" Marvin Carson, the heir to Young's Enterprises yelled as he called out for a woman named Sophia while placing his office bag on the dinner table. "In the kitchen, honey!" Sophia's voice echoed from the adjacent room, followed by the sound of clanging utensils. Marvin made his way towards the kitchen, still in his office attire, a grey suit and red tie. He found Sophia, his wife, busy at the stove, stirring a pot of creamy soup."How was work today?" Sophia asked, turning to face him."Eh, the usual," Marvin replied, shrugging off his blazer and hanging it on a nearby chair. "I had to sit through a board meeting that seemed to last forever. But it's all worth it when I come home to you."Sophia chuckled, "Flattery will get you everywhere, Mr. Carson."Marvin walked up to her, wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Won't it? Maybe then scolding you for cooking in your sick state definitely will get me somewhere, Mrs. Carson.

As Sophia and Marvin headed in the direction of their car, to head to the French Restaurant. They were stopped in their tracks by a soft buzzing ring tone which originated from the pocket of Marvin's coat. Sophia raised an eyebrow, wondering who could be calling her husband at this hour. Marvin took off his coat as he fished out his phone and glanced at the caller ID. He frowned and handed the coat to Sophia."It's work," he said apologetically. "I have to take this."Sophia nodded understandingly and waited for him to answer. She could hear a muffled voice on the other end of the line, but couldn't make out what was being said. Marvin's expression shifted from concern to surprise, then back to concern."I see," he said at last. "Is everyone okay?"Sophia's heart started to race. What was going on? Was there an emergency at the office? Marvin looked at her and shook his head, indicating that everything was fine."I'll be there as soon as I can," he said into the phone. "Just keep me

"Mom, do you really think she'd go there?" A tensed Alissa asked Rachel, Marvin's mother who was wearing a crooked smile on her face."Alissa... Alissa... She'll definitely go there." Rachel said as she rotated a phone which was switched off in her old hands, while leaning on her chair."I don't know, it just seems like a long shot. Though, Sophia may seem like a fool. It might also just be a mask to keep a leash on Marvin," Alissa said, biting her lip.Rachel laughed, "Trust me dear. I know, Sophia. She's nothing like how you've imagined her in your head. All she has is a pretty face with no brains unlike you. And, I'm sure by now she must have even reached the hotel.""But, what if she didn't? Our entire plan would fall apart, Mom." Alissa voiced out her thoughts, bitting her perfectly chipped nails.The concern in Alissa's voice made Rachel stand up as she stroked her hair lovingly before throwing in the words to comfort her," Even if she hadn't gone. The only girl I'll ever accept

The tears in Sophia's innocent eyes made the man freeze in his spot for a second even in his drugged state.He had never intended to hurt anyone, let alone take advantage of a helpless woman. The gravity of the situation hit him hard, and he knew he had to do something to make things right. With a clumsy effort, he crouched down as began to reach out his trembling hand to a trembling Sophia, making her look at him with eyes wide. His warm hand gently stroked Sophia's hair, making her relax under his hypnotic gaze."Kitty, don't cry. Okay? Listen to me. This is Room 182. Room 128 is just across this one on the right side. Do you understand, little kitty?" The stranger gently coaxed Sophia as started to gain control over his senses as he was taught in the army.He clenched his free hand tightly as he dug his nails into his palm, making blood drip on the floor. Though pain coursed through his nerves, the gaze with which he looked at Sophia never once changed. It was as gentle as the fi

"Please... Please... It hurts too much... It's so hot... Please help... Help me..." The words passed Sophia's dry lips as she tugged at his shirt looking at him with eyes pleading like an abandoned kitten. "Kitty, this won't end well." The man said as he crouched down, stroking her head trying to calm her down. "What did those bastards feed you, lil kitty?"Hearing the question asked, her trembling hand pointed to the wine bottle on the bed.The man picked it up and sniffed it. "Aphrodisiac. The same one as I was fed. Just a little less potent. Those fucking bastards. They'll never see the light again." He stood up and went to the bathroom, pouring the wine down the drain. He returned with a glass of ice cold water and brought the glass near her lips, letting her drink slowly.Sophia felt a bit better after drinking the water, and she held onto the man's shirt as tight as she could as if it was the only thread that helped her from losing her life by falling down into the abyss.

"Sophia! I'm back home, love." Marvin's voice echoed in the empty mansion as his eyes searched for his porcelain doll but she refused to enter the radar of his view. A little panic coursed through his veins as he entered the room with only one name on his lips. "Sophia! Sophia! Where are you!?"However, nothing. His screams got no response from his porcelain doll as a frown etched on his forehead.Where is she?The thought lingered in his head as he turned to head in the direction of their room, hoping he'd find Sophia sleeping there on their bed peacefully. But, even before he could have taken a step further. His movements were stopped by the voice of the head maid."Sir, Madame is not in the mansion." The head maid's confused Marvin as he turned around to stare at the head maid in absolute confusion. "What do you mean she's not home? She literally has no friends in the entire town. And, her memory..." Marvin's voice trailed off as his hands started trembling. Her memories! Did

The sound of the car keys hitting the key hanging board created quite a melodious sound before fading into the air.Sophia stood in the hall of the mansion with her head bowed down staring at the floor like a child who had committed wrong. If only the poor girl knew the truth...If only she stayed with the stranger instead of coming back to this man who only addressed himself as her husband while slept with god knows how many women behind her but expected her to remain however he wished her to be...Sophia tried to hold back her tears as the sound of her husband's footsteps creaking on the wooden furnished floor entered her ears. Her body trembled as she waited for his words to hit her but they never did.He entered the hall but, he didn't say a word. He just walked past her, heading towards the stairs to his bedroom. Sophia couldn't help but feel dying. Just how much has she hurt him for him to just leave for their room in utter silence? She remained frozen in her place for a w

It was as if the wind refused to blow. The leaves refused to part with the tree. And, time started flowing back.Back to where it stopped seven years ago for Sophia. Just the fact she didn't remember anything. But, that of course, didn't mean every fiber of her body couldn't feel it.Feel her connection to this restaurant. What was so special about it, after all?She stared at the restaurant in front of her eyes, mesmerized. As her heart seemed to have settled in her stomach, making a rather uncomfortable feeling shimmer throughout her."Sophia? Shall we go in?" Erina asked placing a hand on Sophia's shoulder, pulling Sophia out of her daydream. Or, maybe nightmare. Sophia sew shut her partly open mouth as she nodded her head as the Miller family walked through the garden to the main building of the restaurant situated in the center of the vast land."Mom?" Sophia called out to Erina, making her halt in her tracks as she turned around to look at Sophia as they rest continued their
Business King's Lover Chapter 13 - Happiness
Rayn stumbled his way through the crowd as his eyes were fixed on the two thin black strands of hair in his hand. The strands which would determine if the two kids were his."RAYN!" A scream ran through his ears as he clutched the strands of hair in a tight fist. Spinning around to notice the trio walking in his direction. Rayene, Zeus and Serphina. His gaze wavered for a bit and that was the only time they needed to come and stand infront of an already shaken to the core Rayn."What are thinking? We've been calling you out for so long, Rayn!" Rayene complained as she huffed standing in front of Rayn, making him breathe out a sigh of relief. They didn't know. They didn't know his kitty was here.They didn't see. They didn't see him meeting his children who he lost 7 years ago."Nothing. I'm just tired. I have watched the fashion show as much as I could. I need to rest now. Have a meeting tomorrow. See ya." Rayn responded in a rushed tone, leaving the trio shocked as he left left them
Business King's Lover Chapter 12 - Reunion
"Love, I-" Rayn's trembling hand was raised to touch the cheek of his daughter who he didn't knew existed for 7 years.However, that trembling hand was slapped away as Marina stared at him with eyes filled with rage. Her little frame seemed to contain burning anger like a volcano ready to burst. His eyes then traveled to his son who seemed to watch him with eyes so distant and void of emotions. Just carefully, watching like a hawk to strike when the strike counts.Just like him. It seems that his daughter got his physical features while his son got his personality. "You are not my father!" Marina's little voice echoed in his, and Rayn could feel tears welling up in his eyes. He didn't blame her for being angry.He couldn't. "Love, listen to me. I-" Rayn started, but Marina cut him off again."No! Liar! Liar! Liar!" Marina screamed as she stomped her feet and just turned around to run away from him, to her mother. However, she was frozen in her tracks when she noticed the person sta

"Do you think we should mention that person to Uncle Adrian?" Concerned for her mother's welfare, Marina asked her brother. However, Marco chuckled in response to Marina's concern and said, "Don't worry about mum. Watch how she fixes that the man who is attempting to get her intoxicated."Marina raised an eyebrow, surprised at her brother's nonchalant attitude. "What do you mean?" she asked.However, Marco in return just grinned mischievously and replied, "Just wait and see Mum is a force to be reckoned with. How do you think she managed to make it this far?" Marina, however, was left feeling uncertainty of what to do next regarding her concern for her mother's well-being. She wondered if she should still mention the person to Uncle Adrian or trust in her mother's ability to handle the situation. Was she being a little too worried and overreacting?However, little did she know. There was someone else who had surpassed even her level of worry. Rayn stared at the man trying to appro

From Winter To Spring.Spring To Summer.Summer To Rainy.Rainy To Autumn.Autumn To Winter.Winter To Spring Again. Somehow, 7 years passed."Mom! Marina pulled my hair." A young boy, probably six year old yelled as he ran to his mother's sear and hugged her legs, complaining about his twin sister.The mother smiled and patted her son's head as she noticed her daughter's stuff toy in his arms. "Now, now, Marco. Be gentle with your sister. She only pulled your hair because you grabbed her toy."Marina, the twin sister, waddled towards them with her brother's toy car in her hand. "Mama, Marco took my toy. I want it back," she pouted, tears welling up in her electric black eyes.The mother chuckled as she lifted Marina up and stroked her hair. "Okay, let's find a compromise. Marco, give Marina her toy back, and Marina, promise to share with your brother."The twins agreed, and the mother gently placed her daughter on the back on the floor to play. As she watched them run away, she coul
Business King's Lover Chapter 9 - A New Beginning In China
"Are you bored? Or, are you tired?" Adrian asked Sophia who had been playing dead ever since they have boarded the plane."I don't know." Sophia offered an answer, unamused as she stared out the window, looking at the blue sea below.USA to China. A 6 hour flight. 3 hours passed. 3 more to go.Adrian tried to start a conversation with Sophia, but she only gave one-word answers. He then offered her a book to read or even a movie to watch, but Sophia said she wasn't in the mood for either.As time ticked by, Adrian noticed that Sophia was starting to fidget in her seat. He then realized that maybe it wasn't boredom or tiredness that was making Sophia uneasy, but rather anxiety."Hey, are you okay?" Adrian asked, his concern evident in his voice."I don't know," Sophia said, her voice shaky. "I just don't like being in a plane."Adrian smiled reassuringly at her and stroked her hair lovingly. "It's alright. I'm here with you. How about I fetch you a pencil and notepad? You can draw thin

"Sophia? Whose Sophia?" Adrian's voice rang in the room as the same question reflected in Sophia's eyes. Adrian's grandmother hand stroked Sophia's head as she looked her with eyes softer than a stuffed toy." She was muttering the name in the car when we were bringing her here in car. So, I figured that must be her name.""So, my name is Sophia?" Sophia asked as her body trembled to which Adrian's grandmother nodded before adding. "Maybe it is. Maybe it is not. But, seeing how precious that name is to you to be muttered by you even in a state of unconsciousness. Would you not prefer having that precious name back?"Hearing the words of Adrian's grandmother, Sophia's eyes were instantly filled with gratefulness. "I... I don't have words to thank you both enough for the kindness you have shown me today. I can't... I..." Sophia's sweet sobs left her lips as tears down her cheeks. Somehow, the tears in Sophia's eyes peirced through Adrian's heart like a dagger. How could he have watche
