Archer didn’t think he would ever see someone surprise him but he had to fight right now to pick his jaw off the floor.“Your father?” He mused and turned to Madison, “I thought you didn’t have parents,”“You sound surprised, boy. Looks like you have seen a ghost,” Royal teased him.Madison looked at the both of them suspiciously, “I don’t know him but my mother showed me a picture of him before she left me. I can’t ever forget his face,” her eyes narrowed, “do you know each other?”“Something like that,” Archer said as he rubbed his temple.He didn’t think in his wildest dreams that Royal would look for him too soon much less on his engagement. He gritted his teeth at that.“Perfect, now that you didn’t seek to get my blessings, what are we going to do about that?” Royal asked.Madison’s hand slipped away from Archer’s as she advanced on her father with that fury in her eyes, “blessings? You want him to ask for your blessings when you have never been a father to me? What crack are yo

Archer stood heartbroken for a minute. He didn't think, he kicked the door open.He blinked when he saw Hailey wrapped in the arms of another man, both of them staring at each other lovingly."W...what's going on here?" he asked.Hailey stood and wrapped the sheets around herself as she looked Archer in the eye.Archer felt the knife twist deeper when he noticed the woman standing in front of him wasn't his sweet Hailey.In her place stood a cold woman."What are you doing here?" she asked."What do you mean, your friends and I have been waiting for you." he snapped.Hailey let out a chuckle, "Oh, sorry I lost track of time.""What's going on here, Hailey, and why are you with this man?" Archer pointed to the man who was slowly wearing his pants by the side of the bed."What does it look like? Are you blind? Don't tell me you are both stupid and blind?"

Archer was frozen. He couldn't believe this was real. He stared at his phone screen again but the figures were still there.They stared back as they mocked him. He willed them to move, to prove him wrong but they stayed still."What the hell?" he mumbled to himself.Archer was floored, he had been rendered speechless. He blinked and opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out."Do you believe me now, sir?" Gabriel asked."No," Archer shook his head, "This can't be real."Gabriel chuckled, "Then use it and buy something. A new house, a new car. Whatever you want. It's your money.""My money?" Archer asked.Gabriel nodded firmly.1The doubts in Archer's mind were erased in an instant.

Archer embraced the hum of his scooter's engine as he maneuvered through the bustling city streets. The wind tousled his hair, and he felt free for a moment.He had chosen his scooter instead of the cars at his disposal. He didn't want to attract attention to himself especially if he was going to be working as a lowly employee.Arriving at the company's headquarters, he parked his modest scooter amidst the row of imposing vehicles.

He was excited for today.His smile wiped off his face when he saw the man confidently standing at the entrance.A snarl escaped him, he thought he wouldn't ever have to see their treacherous faces again.He was wrong.Archer tried to look away but every step closer to the entrance only made him glare at the man.The beatings he took kept coming back to him.

Archer held his breath as the elevator headed to the top floor, the highest in the building.Within minutes, the elevator opened.Seeing how big and exuberant the building was, he wasn't surprised to see the interior as lovely as the company's reputation.His heart thumped faster as it now dawned on him that all of this was his.There was only one office facing the elevator and that belonged to the CEO.He knocked.Archer stepped into a room adorned with minimalist elegance. At the imposing desk sat a young woman, her gaze focused on her laptop.He took his time to study her.The CEO, Madison Hale, was just about his age but according to Gabriel, cutthroat would be the best word to use for her.She exuded capability and independence.

Madison stood, extending a hand in greeting. "I've been expecting you."Arche

Archer took a deep breath and knocked on the door, and the woman inside looked up from her cell phone, her impatience evident in her tone as she responded, "What do you want?"Archer frowned and opened the door. He walked inside and the woman's brows furrowed."Who said you could enter?" she yelled at him.His jaw dropped open in shock, and the woman's face was pinched in anger that Archer thought he had broken a rule."Sorry, I didn't mean to.""Go back and knock again. You young people and lacking manners, it seems to be the trend these days." She snarled.Archer's chest tightened in anger, as he stared at the woman in front of him. He dug his nails into his palm, trying to calm his nerves.He did as the woman said while keeping his anger in check."Come in," the woman yelled.He walked up to the table and frowned at the woman."My name is Archer, the new hire," he introduced himself, trying to maintain a professional demeanor despite the woman's dismissive attitude.The woman chec
