Falling For Mr King Chapter Sixty Nine
“So don't freak out, Marie.”“Steven, tell me at once. What have you done?” Marie asked, clutching the front of his shirt.“Okay that feels good, Babe.” He said, his eyes glazing over again.“Steven!” “Okay okay. So I called Sandra…”“You? Called Sandra? You practically hate her!”“Ouch. I don't hate her. I just don't like her. Anyway, I called her and she may or may not have told me a certain story about how you met Adele four years ago but was too scared to go speak to her.”“Steve…”“Let me finish the story, Marie! So it got me thinking. Adele's doing a show in Madison Square next Thursday. Don't even get me started on how I came by that piece of information. But err, I got us these.”Steven watched Marie's eyes widened before she fell into a fit of giggles. “No no nope…” She said as she giggled into her hands. Steven had expected her to freak out but he didn't know what to make of this reaction. Sandra hadn't warned him about a reaction like this. In fact, even though she had gi

“Oh my goodness, Marie. You have to see the way he looks at me and touches me. I swear, Zed Norton is the one.”Steven rolled his eyes as Marie's laughter carried over to the kitchen where he was making dinner for them. He smiled at the thought that he had cooked more in the past weeks than he had in several years but he enjoyed cooking for Marie.At first, he had been confused by the connection between Sandra and Zed until he remembered Marie had told him about an accident or something.“Baby, dinner is almost ready. We’re eating in the kitchen, yeah?” He asked, ignoring Sandra's scowl as Marie nodded and smiled at him. She had better not invite that woman to dinner because he hadn't made enough for her. Maybe he would have if she hadn't started hounding him about hitting Marie the minute he walked through the door. She had even threatened to call the cops on him. Marie had thought she was being protective but he could see through her act. “So anyway. He’s absolutely glorious and I

Steven walked into Alden King’s room and saw the old man sitting up in bed, reading a magazine.“An unsolicited visit? Am I finally growing on you?” Alden asked as he placed the book aside.“Hello Alden. It's good to see you.” Steven King said, as he sat on the chair across the old man’s bed. For the first time in his life, he felt like it was good to see his grandfather. The tired lines around the man’s face nipped at his heart.“Did you drive all the way here to stare?” Alden asked, his hawk eyes sweeping over Steven.“Err.no… I have a situation and it's not with Alden Kings Inc. It's a personal matter.”“Okay?”“Marie and I started out with a fake marriage. Fake because it was for convenience and we didn't love each other. So she went out with this dude and he found out. He hit her too, so of course I had him locked up. But he's threatening to drag her name through mud. And I can't have that.”“I can see that look in your eyes. You're not killing anyone, Son.”“I didn't even say a

Marie's eyes ran over the card in her hand one more time. The first time she had read it, it had hit her that if anyone had told her that the grumpy Godzilla she had worked with all these years would one day be sending her a card with poetry he had written himself, she wouldn't have believed.Her eyes skimmed the short and sweet lines again,Roses are red, violets are blue.Give me a chance into your heart, to show you love is true.Stunning raven hairEyes radiant like the sunWill you be my love?As if that hadn't been enough, she received the loveliest flower arrangement she had ever received in her life, all these before she had even had the chance to brush her teeth. Excitedly, she had texted him a response,Stevennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!She had thought about putting more words but had decided not to. The man had taken his sweet time in asking her out and now it was time he had a taste of his own medicine. She was about to take a picture of her flowers and text to San

Steven felt the muscles jerk in his cheek as he listened to what Marie was saying. He couldn't believe that the jerk still had the courage to call Marie to threaten her after what he had done. Maybe it was time to run him out of town. Marie was looking at him now, hands akimbo as she waited for her answer. He hadn't returned home earlier for this; there was no way he was going to let Antonio put on a strain on them today.“Love, did you really think I was going to sit back and do nothing to the man who hit you?” Steven asked, his eyes blowing hot and his chin jutted forward.“But he already slept in jail, Steven.”“That's not nearly enough. He hit you, he made you cry, he said the most obscene things to you. He's lucky he isn't lying in a ditch somewhere.”He ventured a look on her face and spotted a smile she was fighting to hide. Deciding to capitalize on that weakness, he moved closer to her and took her in his arms.“I’m sorry he called you, Love. I’ll do something to make sure he

By the time Steven had changed to house clothes and came back downstairs, Marie and Sarah had assembled lunch.“Oh there you are.” She said, her eyes perusing his bare, muscular arms before drifting back to his face. He could see her embarrassment so decided to let it slide.“I’m starving, Love. What are we having for lunch?”“You’ll see…” She said, ignoring Sarah who was trying to help and hoisting the tray herself. She gestured at him to bring the wine and glasses along.“Thank you, Sarah but you heard the Madam, I had better carry this myself.” Sarah smirked at him as she excused herself.“What's the plan, Ma’am?”Steven asked once he placed the wine and glasses beside the tray. Marie flashed all thirty two pearly whites at him before climbing into his lap, facing him. She counted on her fingers,“So we're going to eat while watching two incredibly sappy rom coms. Zip. I don't want to hear it, Steven. My date, my rules. Then I was thinking that if you somehow managed to behave you

Marie jumped as his father's tall frame came through the hallway to where they sat in front of the TV. William King was holding a carryall in his left hand. She winced as she noticed that muddy imprints had trailed his steps from the door. She hazarded a glance to Steven who didn't look exactly excited or embarrassed, he looked a little closer to being upset instead.Pulling her back to the chair, he kissed the side of her head and then rose with her to meet his father's gaze.“Dad, it's a surprise to see you. I thought you were offshore?”“Wow, Son. If I didn't know better, I'd think you’re not happy to see your old man. Come and give me a hug, my boy.”Marie bit back a smile as the boy in question trudged to where his father stood and gave him a hug. William King made a good show of clasping Steven and thumping him on the back several times before releasing him. William all but ignored Marie until Steven pulled her forward.“You’ve met my wife,” He said, gripping her firmly against

“Done? What's done?” William King asked, fixing Steven with a hard glare.Oh for the love of God. Could the man get over himself? Why was he here requesting information from Steven like some present father? However she hoped Steven would give an answer because she was curious as well.“Nothing. Just some personal business, Dad.”“What personal business do you have with Alden?” William asked, his brows drawing together as frown lines deepened on his forehead.“Dad, it's between Alden and I. I'm not exactly at liberty to share right now.” Steven said, avoiding both hers and his father's gaze.“Fine.” William said, but by the look on Steven's face, Marie saw that he knew everything William had packed into that one word.They spent the rest of the day in tense silence with Steven and William exchanging glances that made Marie's tummy squirm. Once the clock hit 8PM, she made an excuse to get ready for bed and hightailed it out of their presence. At least which was safe from the iciness and

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

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
