All Chapters of Falling For Mr King: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Steven let out a sigh as he ran a hand over his face. What he had thought would be a fairly straight forward process had turned out to be a lengthy one fraught with complications. Creatives had certain mannerisms and most of the people who had come highly recommended weren't fitting into the mold. He had been looking for someone who would blend in as a creative person even though they were a mole. He had been about to give up when Marie sent in a lady called Cadence Steele. After some background checks and thorough interviewing, he had found out that she was the one for the job. Now, he sat at his desk, hungry and exhausted, and at the risk of running late for his special surprise for Marie. He wanted to make tonight so special that all the resistance she had built up in the past weeks ebbed away. He texted Sarah to ensure that all the fresh ingredients he had requested for dinner had been delivered. Marie had already left for her house an hour ago to meet up with Antonio. Steven ho

“Steven, stop. Oh my God. Someone will see us. Steven, stop!”Marie said, laughing as she tried to push a mischievous-looking Steven away from her. They were in the parking lot, waiting for the elevator, when Steven suddenly got very handsy.“Steven, people are coming. They will see us.”“So, let them. We’re married, Baby.”“Steven! If you keep this up, you’re going to lose your Godzilla status. No one will fear you anymore.”“Mhmmm… A small price to pay if I get to do this…” He said, grabbing her waist and kissing her neck. The elevator opened and they came face to face with a group of staff. After shooting him a look that warned him to behave, Marie stepped into the elevator. Steven, who had been holding both her purse and her briefcase, placed them down. Cracking his knuckles and neck, he came closer to a giggling Marie and said,“Now, where were we?” He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, and then pulled her tighter to himself.“Steven, people are watching us!” She said

“Care to explain this?” Antonio barked, his phone still in his hand.“Can we discuss this inside, please?” Marie said, lowering her voice in a bid to get him to lower his.He glowered at her for some seconds before turning on his heels and going into the house. Marie followed at a safe distance, wondering how on earth she had gotten into this situation?How had the Paparazzi been so fast? It was barely two hours and an article brandishing her face and Steven King’s was headlining a gossip blog. Antonio balanced his hip on the curve of his kitchen counter and folded his arms as he waited for her to speak.Marie was terrified at the look in his eye. She had never seen someone so upset before. Especially not with her.“I’ve been such a fool. An idiot. A donkey!”Donkey? She fought back the urge to laugh.“Antonio, I'm so sorry. I was going to tell you about him.”“You were going to tell me? What exactly were you going to tell me, Marie? That you were married to a billionaire, or that

“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

“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
