Falling For Mr King Chapter 193
“Steven, you're scaring me. Stop pacing.” Marie whispered as he let out a string of expletives and rummaged his hand through his hair. If what the video alleged was true, that woman had a lot of nerve coming down here.“Well, pacing won't help. Why do you think Sandra would have tried to harm me?It makes no sense.”“I don't know if she tried to harm you or not, Marie. But she needs to explain why she didn't disclose that you had actually gotten so close to her house.”“Okay. Well, she's on our way. Can you calm down? I don't want you blazing guns the minute she walks through the door.”“Fine!” He said as he plopped on the chair beside the bed.A sound from Marie's cell phone beeped as she picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID.“It's Sandra. She's pulling in.”“Great. You stay here. I want to confront her myself, catch her off guard before she has a chance to formulate a story.”“Listen to yourself, Steven. You're talking about my best friend. I’m sure this is some giant mis

Marie rolled her eyes as she wheeled herself to the edge close to the elevator. She was about to go in when Steven stumbled out of it and let out a curse.“Hey! What's the issue? Where are you going in such a hurry?” Marie asked as Steven apologized and tried to side step her.“Where are you going? What did she say? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?”“Marie, please I need a few minutes alone. I’ll see you soon, okay?” He asked, as he patted her hand and walked into his room before slamming the door shut.What was that all about? Had Sandra left? Thankfully, Sarah showed up at that moment to go ask her about lunch.“I’ll have anything you offer, Sarah. But I need to know. Did you overheat anything between Sandra and Steven? It took me ages to move from the bed to my chair. I was just on my way to see her but Steven stumbled in here like he had seen a ghost.”“No, Ma’am. I didn't overhear anything.”“Huh. That's strange. Please, can you assist me? I need to get downstairs and ta

“Thought I'd find you here.” James said as he held out a beer to Steven.“Go away. I don't want to talk right now.” Steven said, as he made to get up.“Sit back down, City Boy. We both know I'm not going back to the house until you spill about what's bugging you.”“I don't want to talk about it.”“You're moping about, spreading gloom to everyone and you claim nothing is wrong?”Steven sighed and bent his head between his knees. James clutched his shoulder and asked,“Come on City Boy, talk to me. What's wrong?”Where could he start from? He had no idea how James was going to react when he told him the full news. He decided to start out with the good news.“So, Marie's memory isn't back.”“Ah. I see that. She didn't even remember that I was the light of her life.”Steven barely cracked a smile before he continued.“She doesn't remember anything about our relationship and our marriage. She had started to hint at moving out and figuring out her feelings. I was devastated when she suggest

“You think she's going to tell us who the man is?” Steven asked.“She doesn't have that much of a choice if she's not looking to get into trouble, Steven. You can't afford to handle this with kid gloves. She should be a suspect in the case.”“What are you trying to do? Make Marie hate me?” Steven asked as James shook his head at him.“Don't you think she'll be interested in finding out the truth about her accident?”“I don't know, Man. I’m not trying to add to her distress. I told Sandra to let me handle telling Marie about the pregnancy. But I fear Marie's going to relapse or be permanently damaged if I slam her with too much at once.”“I understand you. So go talk to her. I’ll go with you. I know how to put on my scary face when I need to.”“Okay, let's go.” Steven said as he got to his feet. They walked a few steps forward before Steven turned to James and asked,“Wait. Isn't stress going to harm the baby?”James only shook his head and continued walking. He wasn't sure he wanted a

Steven sighed as he walked into his closet. He was about to pick out a shirt to wear when his eye caught on Marie's lacy nightie. He grabbed it and inhaled it, smiling as he did so. He was so engrossed in the experience that he didn't realize when the door opened and Marie walked in.“What are you doing?” She asked, her brows raised in askance.“I was just clutching on to my precious memories of you in this.” He said as he held it to her face. Marie looked at the nightie blankly before a gasp escaped her lips. She closed her eyes, buckled under her knees and would have fallen if he hadn't gotten to her in time.“I… I've seen that before. I have a memory of it.”“This?” Steven asked, his eyes widening as he waited for her to continue.“Yes. I remember Sandra wearing it.” Marie responded as she closed her eyes.“Wait, what do you mean you remember?”“Yes, that lacy nightie you're wearing, it belongs to Sandra. Just now, I remember. She was wearing it in the house, pacing and making me n

“Are you sure this is where I used to live?” Marie asked, surprise etched on her features.“How on earth could I afford to move into this neighborhood?” Marie asked.“You got promoted, Marie. Do you remember that? And that promotion came with a very good raise.”“Are you complimenting yourself, Steven King?” Marie asked“Of course, I am. But really, this is your house and if you let me open it, I can prove it to you.”“Okay.” She answered, wrapping her hands around herself.“Take it easy, love. Let me know if it gets too much and we’d head back, okay?” He saidShe nodded and followed him as he walked forward and opened the door. He stepped into the house and she walked in with him. She smiled as she looked around. She had even been able to afford nicer furniture. Had she gotten a bonus alongside the raise?“Looks nice,” She said as she glanced around. She recognised her old TV set instantly. Too bad she hadn't changed her TV, and most of the other decor was the same. Sandra had helped

“Slow down, Smith. What do you mean you’ve been shot? We had a deal.”“Yeah. No shit. At no point did we discuss me taking a bullet for you in all of these. I'm happy to help you since you're paying so well but I draw the line at losing my life, Steven. My bloody shoulder is in agony right now.”“How can you drive if your shoulder has been shot?”“What? You think this is my first rodeo? Of course I didn't go alone. If I did, you probably would have been called to come pick up my corpse.”Steven doubted the cops would have called him to come collect the body of a hardened criminal but this was hardly the time to present facts to Smith.“Look, Smith. I'm glad you're okay but you owe me info still. Figure out a way to get it to me or you're on your way to jail, Man.” Steven said before hanging up the phone. He flushed the toilet and walked out of it even though he hadn't used it to throw Marie off his scent.“Who's on his way to jail?” She asked the minute he emerged from the bathroom.

“Slow down! Are you trying to send me back into a coma?” Marie asked as Steven shot her an apologetic smile before easing off on the accelerator.“I'm sorry. I forgot how much of a scaredy cat you are when you're not the one driving.”“Hey, Mister.”Steven chuckled as Marie whacked him playfully on the arm.“I’ll get you home in one piece, Ma’am. That's my promise to you.”“Good. You had better because I've only just learnt how to walk again.”“You have, you awesome beautiful woman.” Steven King responded.“Watch the road, Mister. And flattery really doesn't become you.” She responded, but Steven could see her smiling from the corner of his eye. The cool evening light highlighted the serenity on her face and gave her the softest glow.“I said watch the road.” She quipped. “Sorry.”“So what exactly is Alden disrupting our date?” She asked“Alden, huh? You don't seem the least bit afraid of my grandfather. Funny, how you used to be.”“I don't know him so why should I be? Maybe something

Falling For Mr King EPILOGUE
Eight months later Marie smiled as she felt Steven’s warm breath dance on her face. Moments later, her eyes flickered open and locked with her husband's handsome eyes.“What's this?” She asked, as she sat up and made space for the tray he was holding.“A celebratory breakfast.” He said as Marie answered with a short laugh.“We can't keep celebrating a sentencing that happened four months ago, Steven.” She said as he ignored her and filled her glass with orange juice.“Who says?” Steven asked, as he planted a kiss on her forehead.“Me. I’m saying.”“Noted. Now eat.” He responded as he plunked on the bed beside her and watched her.“What?” She asked as his eyes roved over her.“I can't believe I almost lost you, Marie.”“You mean the way you were going on and refusing to listen to me?” She teased as she tossed a pillow at his head.“I told you I didn't like that woman.”“I know you told me. You’ve told me so almost a thousand times, Steven. But it was Zed that was the real shock to you
Falling For Mr King Chapter 222
Steven’s mind whirled with thoughts as they headed to the hotel where he was staying. The silence in the air was rife with the weight of unspoken words. He glanced at her again and she looked so ashen. Was she okay? Why had she felt the need to come to Japan? How had she survived the flight? Was that why she looked so white? And why was she trembling so badly?He placed his hands upon hers and it was so sweaty.“Stop trembling. You're making me nervous.” He said in a more gruffer tone than he had planned.Her eyes widened for a second before she mouthed a solemn“Sorry.”She retracted her hand from under his and stuffed it in her laps.Huh. So much for wanting to comfort her. They said nothing to each other after that until the car stopped in front of the hotel.Steven rolled his eyes as Marie argued with the front desk attendant who had patiently explained that the hotel was fully booked and there was nothing she could do about it. To listen to Marie, it was like he was going to har

Steven frowned at the clock ticked noon. All his life, he had never had to wait to see anyone, but here he was, waiting on Mr. Kaito, whom he has been unable to see in the last two days.“Mr. King?” A feminine voice called out.“That's me.” He said in a chirpy voice, smiling even though his insides felt queasy. He knew convincing Mr. Kaito of the fact that Alden King Inc. still deserved his business was going to be tough and he wasn't so sure he was prepared for it. Although, in a way, he felt relieved the truth was out. The pretty brunette led him through a series of doors before stopping before a plush office. She tossed him a tight smile then knocked before leaving Steven on his own.Mr. Kaito took his sweet time before answering the door.“Mr. King, what a pleasant surprise.” Mr. Kaito said as he ushered him to a seat. While his face was smiling, Steven could sense the displeasure in his tone.“Thank you for seeing me.”Mr. Kaito took a long look at him, and Steven could feel the

Marie's hand clenched the steering wheel till her knuckles turned white. Sandra had a lot of nerve, seducing Steven and then trying to pin someone else's pregnancy on him. She jumped out of the car, and headed to the front door. She was about to knock when she noticed the door was open. Zed's loud voice filtered to where she stood.“You had just one job, Sandra! Seduce him! Get him to marry you! Don't think I care about that scum in your belly!”“I tried okay! He loves her! And I’m tired of being your little pawn! You always said you could have taken down Steven King without me so why haven't you?”“I've done everything on my part! You haven't done crap except complicate things for me. You couldn't even convince him to have sex with you. And he was drunk!”“And the only thing you’ve succeeded in doing is killing an innocent woman!” Sandra flung back.“Oh? Breathe a word of that to anyone and see what happens!”“Oh, please. What are you gonna do? Kill me too?” Sandra screamed.Marie to

Marie shoved the rest of her mementos and snapped her box shut. If she wanted to get to Lake George by nightfall, she had to hurry.She chuckled ruefully under her breath as she wondered about the rush. It's not like she had a job anymore or anything she needed to get to. Ten years with Steven, ten years of bending backwards, and all it took was one misunderstanding for him to fire her. She had even gone back and tried to explain but his granite heart hadn't moved. This from the man who though married to her, had decided to knock up her best friend.She frowned as her cell phone rang. She fished it out of her pocket, and held it to her ear with her shoulder as she rolled her luggage out.“James, there's nothing more we can do. I tried, James,”She waited as James tried to convince her not to leave town until he had spoken with Steven but to be honest, she was done begging him. For the most part of her adult life, she had fixated her emotions on him. Letting him treat her like his feel

Steven was slightly out of breath when he arrived at the orchard and ran into Rick.“Uncle Stevie! Wow. Aunty Marie was super fast. I only just spoke to her. Are you here to take me to the Planetarium? You’ve promised many times.” He asked expectantly.“You’re right, buddy. I do owe you a trip to the Planetarium. But that's not going to happen today, buddy. I've been…”“Busy. I know. You’ve had important things to do.” Rick said as a forlorn expression rested on his face. Steven sighed as he lowered himself to the boy’s gaze.“Now, Rick. You know how important you are to me, don't you?” Steven asked.Rick shrugged but Steven refused to let him out of his grasp till Rick said“Yeah.”“Well, Uncle Stevie has just had a lot of things happening to him at the same time. I'm almost done wrapping those things up and then we can go to the Planetarium as many times as you want, okay?”“Really truly?” Rick asked, a huge smile forming on his face.“Really, truly.” He confirmed.“Okay.”“That's m

“So you're headed to the house at Lake George?” Alden asked as Marie watched him peel an orange and toss a piece into his mouth. Ahead of them, Rick was glad that he had a no-school day and was allowed to run amok.“Quite a sugar rush, he’s got.” She remarked as Alden sighed.“Tell me about it. Amelia's going to have my head when she returns. One minute I look away and he downs all that stuff.”“So, what did Steven say when you told him the truth?”She sighed and tossed a piece of the tangerine she had just peeled into her mouth.“What I expected. That it didn't change anything. And that he wished me the best in life.”“He’s so obstinate sometimes.”“I told you to trust him more, Alden. If it were me, I would have been upset too. I know you love him, but you’ve got to stop coddling him!”“You don't understand, Marie. The boy is the light of my whole life. He’s everything William is not. And he was so young when he took over. And it infuriated many people.”“But that was over ten years

“Nice of you to stop for a chat and all but I'm very busy.” Steven said as Marie took her seat and folded her legs. It was like seeing a woman he hadn't met before.“I told him this was a waste of time. You don't work for someone for ten years without knowing how conceited and set in their ways they are.” Marie begun“Look, Marie. I don't know why Alden keeps trying. Isn't the work you've done for him in the past ten years impressive enough?” Steven asked.“Sneer at me, all you want. I'm not here because of Alden, I'm here because James asked me to come to talk to you.” She retorted, leaning forward to place her hand on his desk.While he didn't care about what she had to say, he figured the faster he allowed her to talk, the quicker she’d be out of his hair.“I'm listening.” He said, as leaned back in his seat.“First. I'm sorry I didn't disclose that Alden and I have a relationship.”“He was your boss, and…”“He was my guardian.” Marie cut in.Steven let out a sardonic laughter.“Gu

“What do you mean they're citing reputation issues as their reason for pulling out? We've committed to vendors, paid for the spaces for this exhibition and they're just canceling it?”Zed shrugged as Steven paced furiously. He sighed and leaned over his desk as Zed replied.“They also cited budget constraints and explained that it wasn't top priority for the foreseeable future.”“That's a load of bollocks and we both know it, Zed. Find out the real reason they're pulling the plug.”“I thought so too as well and tried to do some findings. My source alleged that top stakeholders were having cold feet due to our recent…err…”“Recent what?” Steven half yelled as he glared at Zed.“Due to your recent PR fiasco.”“What? They're canceling their activation because some reporter did a story on me?”“Well, Sir. You have to respond. You haven't addressed the rumors yet.”Steven thought about his phone call with Smith three days ago. He vehemently refused to believe what Smith was alleging until
