All Chapters of One Night With Mr. King: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Jolene remained quiet as Jaxon drove her home. She slowly looked at the man who had saved her back there, and her heart skipped a beat.His jaw was still clenched, untamed anger emanating from him as he focused on the road."Does your hand hurt?" he asked, his voice harsher than usual.Jolene looked down at her slightly red palm. She had hit Jemima eleven times. Jemima's face was swollen and red, with blood on her lips and nose. The sight was satisfying."It stings a little, but it's worth it," she replied. Jaxon gave her a brief look before returning his gaze to the road. "Thank you for saving me back there.""I don't like being thanked with words, considering the fact that you’ve attacked me twice," Jaxon responded, and Jolene blinked in confusion."Attacked you?""Hmm. First, you almost hit my car and yelled at me. Then, you pepper-sprayed my face."Jolene almost choked on her saliva, her eyes widening like the moon. Her face turned red.The masked man she had encountered twice was

Jemima dashed into her apartment, her breath ragged and her face covered in sweat. She grabbed the water from her desk and downed it in one gulp.Once she calmed down, she sat on her bed, recalling what had happened to her.The hounds.They had scared the hell out of her. After she had agreed to Tatiana's request, someone in the dark whistled, and the hounds left her. Jemima had tried to find the person, but he was gone along with the hounds.Jemima clenched her jaw. Apologize? Her ass. She would never apologize to a mere assistant!She took her phone and called Daniel."Hey, why are you crying?" Daniel asked on the other end, his voice filled with concern.Jemima explained everything to him."She did all that?""Yes. I was so scared I thought I was going to die. I really need your help to destroy her. She might kill me soon.""Don't worry. I'll do something about it. If she wants to play dirty, I'll play dirty."---"Do you think she'll apologize?" Jolene asked Tatiana as she played

[HOSPITAL]The steady beep of the machine and the soft hiss of the oxygen tank filled the ward as a young nurse jotted down the condition of the woman lying on the bed.The machine monitored every heartbeat and breath of the woman as her chest heaved slowly.The nurse sighed and paused for a moment to stare at the woman. The doctor had said she would be waking up soon, but it had already been a month. She slowly turned to leave but halted when she heard a soft moan.With wide eyes, her head snapped back to the woman.The woman’s eyelids fluttered and slowly opened. The nurse gasped; the book in her hand fell. She dashed out of the ward to inform the doctor.After more than six years, she finally woke up."Cassius," the woman mumbled.-Daniel weakened on his knees. Sweat cascaded down his face as he watched Cassius stand before him.Cassius faced the audience, and shocking news left his lips."Tatiana Karen is signed with the King Company."What the heck!...Did I just hear the Kings?

Divorce?Cassius's blood boiled at the thought of letting Tatiana go. His eyes darkened."Cassius, I know what you might be thinking..." His grandfather tried to speak, but Cassius cut in coldly."You once told me how you fought till the end just to be with Grandma. Now you're telling me to give up on the woman who pulled me out of the dark?" he asked, his voice as cold as ice."Fighting them would mean endangering your loved ones. Your mother almost died because..." his grandfather said."And you asked me not to chase them. I would have burned the fucking Wallingtons alive. I had a plan, but you stopped me. I'll destroy their chain and be with her, even if it means burning down the world. You did that for Grandma, then why are you stopping me?"A sigh came from the other side, indicating his grandfather's surrender. Everything Cassius said was right. The Wallington family would always be in their way.The only way to stop this was to destroy them. Mr. Holden, Cassius's grandfather, h

A clash echoed through the hall as one of the artists dropped her glass of wine. Every artists jaw dropped, and their eyes widened in shock.Tatiana was no exception; her entire body froze at Cassius's actions. His lips were on hers, one arm possessively holding her waist close, while the other rested on her face.His lips moved slowly as his tongue slid out, forcing her mouth to open for him. As if under a spell, Tatiana found herself closing her eyes and opening her mouth to respond.The only sound she could hear was her fast-beating heart and the sound of their lips moving against each other. Her mind went haywire.She slid her arms around his neck, wrapping them tightly, while he pulled her waist closer. A light, soft moan escaped her throat.As they broke the kiss, Tatiana noticed the smirk on his lips, and then she realized they were still in the King's hall. She had responded to the kiss in front of everyone.One of the artists choked on her saliva and began to cough.Her face
