Falling For Mr King Chapter 199
“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

“Riding in here as your wife feels so different from what I'm used to.” Marie said as Steven nibbled on her earlobe. If only she could remember the things they had done in the car.“Please, tell me we don't do this often in the office?” She asked in a breathy voice as Steven peppered her nose and cheeks with kisses.“Every chance we get.”“So how do I get any work done?” She asked, as she softly pushed him away from her body.“Ouch. You're seeing me as a distraction? Rather than your delightful husband who's besotted with you?”She rolled her eyes, earning a mock gasp from Steven who straightened up and planted a final kiss on her lips.“Looking forward to going in physically?” She asked him, watching his face for his reaction.“I am, I guess. It's been a while. I only wish I wasn't going in because we’ve been accused of fraud.”“What? Fraud? But that's impossible.”“Exactly. Which is what I have to prove when I get to the office.”“Seems like it's going to be busy for you, then. I’ll

“Hullo, Babes. You're the last person I expected to see!” Sandra exclaimed in a loud voice as she pecked both of Marie's cheeks. Steven watched as Marie hugged her friend begrudgingly. Was she still upset over the segment of her memory that she recovered?“Why? I work here.” Marie answered, as Sandra glanced at Steven. Since when did Sandra feel like she could drop into the office to see him? He wasn't sure he wanted to encourage such behavior but knew that her reaction if he refused to see her would be unpredictable.“I presume you want to see me?” He asked“Yes.” Sandra said as Marie looked from her friend to her husband.“Why though? Is everything okay?” Marie asked“Sure. I have some unfinished business with Mr. Billionaire over here. And this is the only time and place he might have the time.”“I see.” Marie said, not sounding as if she had seen anything at all.“I promise to return him to you soon. I know you probably have closed door meetings to attend to.” Sandra said with a m

“Aren't you going to say anything?” Marie asked, as Steven cradled her palm. The way he ran his fingers through his hair was making her nervous and in the years she had known him, she had never seen him nervous. This was the same man that stared down intimidating clients for Pete's sake.“I will. I'm thinking of how to.” He answered as he released a deep sigh and leaned back in the seat.“Well, haven't you heard? Just do it.” She mumbled, smiling at him. When he didn't smile back at her lame joking, hers started to falter.What did he have to say that was so scary? Was something permanently wrong with her? Even if she decidedGazing into her eyes, he slid into the booth beside her before cradling her thigh. Something about the way he was holding her thigh felt vaguely familiar. She placed her hand over his and was immediately besieged by a deluge of memories of herself sitting in Steven’s lap with his hand on her thigh.“So I…” He started“Steven! I just had a flash of memory of me! I

Steven smiled as he looked at Marie's beautiful face. She was perfect in so many ways he couldn't start to describe and yet she loved him. Even after she has suffered an injury, lost her memory, she still somehow found a way to trust him.She stirred in her sleep and he found himself stroking hair away from her face. He would go through the stress he had gone through with acquiring Kazuko Inc. a thousand times if it meant winding up next to her in bed, watching her beautiful shoulders rise and fall as she slept.It was morning, yet he didn't feel like moving a muscle. He wanted to be here and only here.Ten minutes later, she stirred and opened eyes which were still groggy with sleep.“Good morning, beautiful. How was your night?” He asked“Really? You just wake up and break into song?” She asked as she kicked the covers off and sat up.“And what's wrong with that? You bring out the poet in me.” He said as he rolled out of bed and handed her cane over to her.“Sometimes I’m so angry b

“Shot? What do you mean she’s been shot?” Steven asked in a daze.“I have no idea. She called me crying hysterically that she’d been shot. She was barely audible.” Marie responded as she hurriedly dressed.“Alright. I’ll take you to the hospital.”“No! Sorry, I mean there's no need. The driver can take me, you have to work.”“What? Marie.”“I insist.” Marie said“I’m not letting you go see someone who's been shot without going with you, Marie. It's not safe.”“I'm not sure I want to discuss this, Steven. Sandra didn't want you there.” Marie explai

Despite the shafts of pain that had torn through Marie's chest after Sandra's announcement, she had been unable to leave her friend's side until she fell asleep. When she arrived at the parking lot, Steven King got out of the car looking like someone who had thrown up all morning. Well, that was good riddance because she didn’t care. She wasn’t going to help him assuage his guilt for getting her best friend pregnant. Had he planned to tell her at any point?She shrugged off his hand as he tried to help her get into the car. The earlier she started weaning herself off his assistance, the easier moving out would be.Beside her, Steven was clutching the wheel tightly but hadn’t said a word yet. Not that she was remotely interested in anything he had to say.“Marie, I understand you’re upset. But please…”“Were you ever planning to tell me?”“Yes! I took you to Ziggler’s yesterday, but you got your memories back and I didn’t think I could ruin the mood and do that to you.”“But you alread

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
