"I find the defendant not guilty," the judge declared."What?" The Sheikh thundered but he couldn't be heard over the uproar in the courtroom. Even when the judge kept calling them to order, their happiness couldn't be held back.The trial was over as quickly as it started, everyone rejoiced over Archer's case. Hell, even the twins got vindicated for the accusation and the judge sentenced the Sheikh, Davide and his cohorts to life imprisonment.The Sheikh was not happy with it and called the side bar, Charlene and his lawyer were there. The judge took one look at the Sheikh and shook his head."You cannot call for a side bar, you are not a lawyer,""No, I am not. But if you are going to make judgements off your head then I better know what I am working with,""You don't think I made the right judgement even with all the evidence pointing straight at you? You think I should let you roam around torturing innocent people because you felt like it?" the judge asked."That's not what I said

It wasn’t that surprising to see the calls coming on his phone after the press conference but Archer didn’t answer any.He went home, showered and slept for two days straight before he was able to tackle another task for the day.It was on a Monday morning when he stood in front of his dressing mirror to fix his tie, it reminded him of the day he started going to the company.He was standing in this same exact spot and he smiled, he was taking today as starting afresh. CEO back from prison and ready to take over the world.The first thing on his agenda would be to address his board members and assure them that he was back for good.A knock distracted him and he told the person to come in, Lydia peeked her head in and smiled.“Ready?” She asked him.Archer nodded and grabbed his jacket before leaving the room. They entered the car and started going.Lydia saw how much he was worrying and smiled, “Everything would be okay, you nervous?”Archer shook his head, “That’s not what I am worri

Archer sighed and turned. He could feel a slight headache coming from encountering him. If he had known that this was what he would experience when coming here then he would have sent a representative.At least that way they would keep their bad words and notions away from the person he would send.Davide’s father was staring at them with a frown on his face, he looked like he was fighting with himself.“Yes, they are begging me to help you because you need my help whether you like it or not. Hell, I should have said know considering you are still here. You are the father of the man who murdered my brother, are you not? Imagine how difficult it is seeing your face and the nonsense spewing from your lips and controlling myself from not punching you till you are in a pool of blood. You know, the same kind your son left my twin brother in.” Archer cocked his head with a smile.“We don’t need your help, definitely not from you.” “Say all you want, get it out of your chest but I am here f

A week later and several successful business days conducted, Archer was ready to move on from all there was.He was much better accepted by the society than he expected. He was ready to conquer the business world over again.A deal he had been thinking about venturing in got him thinking. The oil business was so vast that it would make him a lot of money.The old magnate he wanted to buy the lands from have been inviting him to his home for a long time and Archer decided that it was time to honor him and see what the hype is all about.The man was a bit old fashioned and morally uptight to the core. Archer finally called him to accept his invitation.The man answered delightfully, and told Archer it would be wonderful to have him in his house but they had to meet.Archer agreed to meet the man in a restaurant nearby, he was just preparing to live when his phone rang, he saw it was Charlene and answered it quickly.“Hello?” He said.“Hi, just calling to have lunch with you,”“I can’t ri

Archer decided to stay late and work, either to catch up or just pour out his frustrations on it. He was flipping a paper, not understanding anything when the door opened.He saw Charlene and bent his head back, ignoring her. Charlene wriggled her fingers and she moved forward gingerly.“Are you just going to ignore me?”“I am not ignoring you, I am busy,” Archer said firmly.Charlene shook her head, she didn’t imagine it would be easy trying to sway him but it was off putting to hear him dismiss her like this.She placed something on the table and Archer looked up, it was flowers. He sent Charlene a confused look hoping she would clear up some things.“I brought you flowers,” she said.“Yeah, I can see that but why?”She shrugged, “I fucked up and I wanted us to talk it out today. I know you are mad at me…”“I am not mad at you, not anymore.”“What?”Archer sighed and dropped his pen, “I was mad at you and the reason I didn’t talk to you was because I didn’t want to say anything I w
