All Chapters of Business King's Lover: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Sophia! Sophia! Where are you?" Marvin Carson, the heir to Young's Enterprises yelled as he called out for a woman named Sophia while placing his office bag on the dinner table. "In the kitchen, honey!" Sophia's voice echoed from the adjacent room, followed by the sound of clanging utensils. Marvin made his way towards the kitchen, still in his office attire, a grey suit and red tie. He found Sophia, his wife, busy at the stove, stirring a pot of creamy soup."How was work today?" Sophia asked, turning to face him."Eh, the usual," Marvin replied, shrugging off his blazer and hanging it on a nearby chair. "I had to sit through a board meeting that seemed to last forever. But it's all worth it when I come home to you."Sophia chuckled, "Flattery will get you everywhere, Mr. Carson."Marvin walked up to her, wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Won't it? Maybe then scolding you for cooking in your sick state definitely will get me somewhere, Mrs. Carson.

"Mom, do you really think she'd go there?" A tensed Alissa asked Rachel, Marvin's mother who was wearing a crooked smile on her face."Alissa... Alissa... She'll definitely go there." Rachel said as she rotated a phone which was switched off in her old hands, while leaning on her chair."I don't know, it just seems like a long shot. Though, Sophia may seem like a fool. It might also just be a mask to keep a leash on Marvin," Alissa said, biting her lip.Rachel laughed, "Trust me dear. I know, Sophia. She's nothing like how you've imagined her in your head. All she has is a pretty face with no brains unlike you. And, I'm sure by now she must have even reached the hotel.""But, what if she didn't? Our entire plan would fall apart, Mom." Alissa voiced out her thoughts, bitting her perfectly chipped nails.The concern in Alissa's voice made Rachel stand up as she stroked her hair lovingly before throwing in the words to comfort her," Even if she hadn't gone. The only girl I'll ever accept

"Please... Please... It hurts too much... It's so hot... Please help... Help me..." The words passed Sophia's dry lips as she tugged at his shirt looking at him with eyes pleading like an abandoned kitten. "Kitty, this won't end well." The man said as he crouched down, stroking her head trying to calm her down. "What did those bastards feed you, lil kitty?"Hearing the question asked, her trembling hand pointed to the wine bottle on the bed.The man picked it up and sniffed it. "Aphrodisiac. The same one as I was fed. Just a little less potent. Those fucking bastards. They'll never see the light again." He stood up and went to the bathroom, pouring the wine down the drain. He returned with a glass of ice cold water and brought the glass near her lips, letting her drink slowly.Sophia felt a bit better after drinking the water, and she held onto the man's shirt as tight as she could as if it was the only thread that helped her from losing her life by falling down into the abyss. The

The sound of the car keys hitting the key hanging board created quite a melodious sound before fading into the air.Sophia stood in the hall of the mansion with her head bowed down staring at the floor like a child who had committed wrong. If only the poor girl knew the truth...If only she stayed with the stranger instead of coming back to this man who only addressed himself as her husband while slept with god knows how many women behind her but expected her to remain however he wished her to be...Sophia tried to hold back her tears as the sound of her husband's footsteps creaking on the wooden furnished floor entered her ears. Her body trembled as she waited for his words to hit her but they never did.He entered the hall but, he didn't say a word. He just walked past her, heading towards the stairs to his bedroom. Sophia couldn't help but feel dying. Just how much has she hurt him for him to just leave for their room in utter silence? She remained frozen in her place for a w

"Sophia? Whose Sophia?" Adrian's voice rang in the room as the same question reflected in Sophia's eyes. Adrian's grandmother hand stroked Sophia's head as she looked her with eyes softer than a stuffed toy." She was muttering the name in the car when we were bringing her here in car. So, I figured that must be her name.""So, my name is Sophia?" Sophia asked as her body trembled to which Adrian's grandmother nodded before adding. "Maybe it is. Maybe it is not. But, seeing how precious that name is to you to be muttered by you even in a state of unconsciousness. Would you not prefer having that precious name back?"Hearing the words of Adrian's grandmother, Sophia's eyes were instantly filled with gratefulness. "I... I don't have words to thank you both enough for the kindness you have shown me today. I can't... I..." Sophia's sweet sobs left her lips as tears down her cheeks. Somehow, the tears in Sophia's eyes peirced through Adrian's heart like a dagger. How could he have watche
