All Chapters of Falling For Mr King: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Right when he thought he couldn't be any more fatigued, Steven found himself being harassed by James to get into his car and make a quick stop at Alden Kings Inc. to pick up Marie’s anxiety medication.“What do you mean my wife is on anxiety meds?”“Well, do you want to read her text?”“Can't I just have some ordered for her? I’m tired and would like to just go home.”“Steven, come on. I’ll drive. We'll dash in and out before you even know what's going on.”“Fine.” Steven said, getting to the car but extremely irritated at James, and by extension everyone else on the road. James, though, seemed to be driven by a severe restlessness of his and was driving like someone with a death wish.“James, slow down, will you? I have no desire to die today.”“Oh, quit whining, City Boy.” James snarled.How come she hadn't told him she was on anxiety medicine? Or had Dr. Carol just put her on medication? He had no idea his beloved Marie was battling such a severe case of anxiety and it killed him t

Who could be calling him at this time? Steven thought as he yanked the errant cell phone from his breast pocket. He was about to toss the cell away without looking at it when his eyes caught his caller ID. It was his father. Marie looked just as livid as Steven but withdrew far enough to give him privacy to answer the call. A part of him wanted to ignore the call, and then text his father later.Steven doubted that anything the old man had to say was important, but Marie had already retreated to the far corner of the room and was texting. Besides, the last thing he wanted was the unease from wondering his father's reason for calling this time. Steven wasn't optimistic enough to believe that his father had remembered his birthday, after all.“Hey Son. Long time no speak.” William King's voice boomed over the phone.And whose fault was that, he thought but thought better of speaking it out.“Yes, Sir.”“You can't afford to forget your old man, Steven. We're all we’ve got. You and me. We

“Where are we going?” Steven King asked, as he jogged alongside Marie.“Where does it look like we're headed, Steven?”“You tell me, I don't know. The only thing down this way is the hangar where my jet is parked.”“Exactly, Steven.” She said, turning back to wink at him before picking up her pace again.Two minutes later, they stood facing Steven’s jet.“Do you know how to get this thing up in the air?” She asked, knotting her fingers together and looking up at him. She was sweating, but couldn't decide if it was from the nervousness about what she was about to attempt, or the fact that she had just run longer than she had in a long time. She closed her mouth to stop panting before Steven got started on how she needed to start exercising.“I do, but why do you ask?” Steven responded, staring at her with caution“Because I want to fly with you, Steven.”“Absolutely not,” Steven said, already backing away from the jet“Wait, Steven. At least hear me out.”“Marie, I appreciate what you'

“She's quitting the case? And what does she mean by ‘you shouldn't trust anyone’?” Marie asked, her eyes scanning his cell phone.“I don't know, Marie. I haven't the foggiest clue. Just when I think this thing is wrapping up nicely and I'm getting somewhere, Cadence gets spooked and is asking me not to trust anyone.”Sighing, Steven pushed his plate away and ran a hand across his face before cupping his mouth.“Problems at work?” Joanna asked“Yeah, Jo. And now it's more dangerous than I'd like.”Joanna nodded at him with a sympathetic smile and placed her hand over his.“She can't just leave, can she? She has to tell you what's scaring her. Who's spooking her? Do you think she was paid off by whoever it is that's doing this?”“Probably. There goes my happy weekend. I'm sorry guys, but I need to make some calls to sort this out.” He replied before dumping his napkin on the table and walking away.Marie sighed and dropped her spoon on her plate. There was no way she was getting her app

“Marie? Why were you at the office?”She had three options.Deny that she had said Alden Kings by mistake when she meant Sandra's house, or she could tell him she went to the office because she had forgotten something she needed urgently, or she could tell him the truth.“That's not really important right now,” She stalled, hoping he would let the matter rest. He said nothing for so long that Marie began to fear that he knew why she had gone in the first place. She was about to blurt it out when he said,“So what happened in the parking lot?”She narrated the rest of the events to him, and he didn't interrupt till she was done.“I'm sorry Sandra had to go through that.”“Me too.” Marie said, shivers traveling down her spine as the mental image flashed in her mind again.“Okay, I'm dropping Rick off. I’ll be home soon, Marie. And when I get back, please be there.” He said and hung up.Ugh. Was this what being married meant? That she had to do what he said? Well, she knew she had the fr
