Falling For Mr King Chapter Sixty Six
“Marie, you have to come into the house, please.”She shook her head sideways and averted her gaze. They had done this five times now and she showed no sign of relenting.“Marie…” He said, reaching out to touch her and flinching when she scooted backwards. It annoyed him that the bastard had laid his hands on her. One look at the jerk’s face and he had known that if he didn't step away, he would have spent the rest of his life in a slammer, serving a life sentence for murder. There were a lot of things he could have done better tonight. He could have insisted she texted him. Asked her out properly. Seized her phone. “I can't go in with you because you're mad at me, Steven.” Marie said, her voice shaking with the weight of unshed tears.Angry at her?“Marie, Baby. Why would I be mad at you?”“Because…” She said, shrugging her shoulders and looking away as fresh tears spilled from her eyes.What had the bastard said to her to make her this ashamed?“Baby… I'm not mad at you. I'm furiou

“So who's Jeff? Someone from her past?” James asked after Steven had narrated the events of the previous day to him.“I wish I knew, James. I wish I knew. It was so heartbreaking to watch. You needed to have been there, James. When she woke up in the morning and I asked her who Jeff was, she practically froze before telling me she didn't know who he was.”“Hmm,well, maybe it's too painful for her to think about yet. Made your move yet?”“No. And that's what upsets me about this so much. Because on top of what the stupid jerk has done to her, she has to deal with feeling like I'm not serious about us.”“What are you waiting for, City Boy?”“I just want it to be perfect, you know.”“Perfect, or you’re stalling?” “I am not. Really, that's not it. I just…” Steven massaged his temple and let out a huge sigh.“So do it…”“I will. I think I know just what to do.”“I can't believe you lied about Antonio having straight hair.” Steven said, as he saw the Alden Kings Inc. building come into foc

Marie ran her hands over the seams of her new cardigans, letting her fingers enjoy its rich texture.She couldn't keep it though. Nevermind that it was an Alexander McQueen design. 2,800 dollars for one cardigan was absurd, even for a billionaire. She smiled as she heard Steven's car pull into the driveway. She was wearing a red silk dress that fit snugly, and framed her back quite well. She had also curled her hair and deeply moisturized her skin. The only way she was getting Steven to return the cardigans was to distract him senseless. But even with that, she could only hope.She could hear him coming into the house. Throwing on a big robe, she got under the covers and waited for him in bed. As if on cue, Steven knocked on her door. “I'm not decent, Steven. Can you give me some minutes?” “You don't need to be, Love.” He said in a ridiculous baritone that had her chuckling.“Steven!”“Alright, alright. I’ll come back. Let me get out of these work clothes.”Marie smiled as she heard

“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
Falling For Mr King Chapter Seventy One
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
Falling For Mr King Chapter Seventy Three
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
