Archer looked up, puzzled when he heard the shout.He furrowed his brows when he saw an angry Ferguson storming towards him.Dean was behind him, panting as he tried to catch up. It made Archer even more confused.Ferguson came to a stop in front of him, “You bastard!” he hissed.“How may I help you?” Archer asked calmly.The reaction he got made it worth it. Archer was a little bit annoyed that Ferguson stormed in here. He could feel the eyes of his colleagues as they invested in the drama.Aware that Ferguson was still staring at him, Archer raised a brow. This prompted Ferguson.Because he pointed to Archer, “Who the hell do you think you are?”“Excuse me?” Archer looked around to see if anyone could help him figure out why Ferguson was acting like that but they were all watching.“You want to play dumb?”“Mr Ferguson, I don't know what you are talking about.” Archer Insisted.“You have some nerves. I don't believe this. I took a chance on you and this is how you pay me back?”“Are

“What's going on here?” Archer stepped back from Ferguson and looked to see Madison staring at them with a frown.He cleared his throat but didn't say anything and nobody did.“Are you deaf? I asked, "What is going on here?” she said in a much clearer voice.Ferguson turned, his face still red from anger. His anger tipped over when he saw Madison standing there with her hands on her hips.He sneered, “Oh look, everyone, the bitch has come to gloat.” Ferguson looked around hoping people would see the humor in his state t and laugh with him.All he got was stony silence.Madison clenched her jaw and walked towards him and slapped him across the cheek.The sound bounced off the room and people gasped but Madison didn't care. She was done letting them disrespect her.“I will ignore the fact that you are trespassing in my company after you have been suspended. I am asking for the last time, why are you harassing my employees?” she asked in a cold tone.Ferguson rubbed his cheek, the hatr

Archer sighed as he looked at the text on his phone. Hailey had been pretty persistent that she wanted to talk to him.He wanted to ignore her but he knew that Hailey was like an annoying fly that never goes well.He asked that they meet in a place of his choosing, he didn't want to risk running into any kind of surprise.Archer entered the bar and saw Hailey sitting on one of the stools as she smiled at the bartender.He approached and sat opposite her.Her eyes lit up with a surprise that he ignored her, he didn't want her to get any ideas.“Thank you for coming,” Hailey said with the sweetest expression on her face.Some other person would have fallen for it but Archer knew better than anyone that she was a viper.If given the chance, she would swallow you whole which is why Archer knew something was up with this act of hers.“Hurry up,” he snapped at her.She reared back like he hit her, hurt swirling in those deceitful eyes as she looked at Archer.“I wanted to apologize for the

The phone rang but nobody picked up. Archer has been trying to reach Madison but her line was going straight to voicemail.He sighed to himself. Ever since the day Ferguson outed him in his office, Madison has been avoiding him.Archer had tried to talk to her but she was determined to avoid him for no reason.Deep down, Archer had no idea why she was doing so. He had not derailed from the plan or anything.That day in his office, she had kept staring at him with anger, so much that you would think that he was the one that called her a bitch in public.It had made him uncomfortable but what bothered him was that she left without saying anything.Archer tried her line again but it wasn’t going through. He sighed to himself and walked to his car.If this is what it has to be then he would confront her till she confesses. Archer drove back to the office and took the elevators to Madison’s office. He didn't bother knocking and just entered.She was bent at her desk, reading something but

Dean entered Archer's office, holding a stack of papers. "Archer, I've got these documents for you to sign. It's urgent," he said, placing the papers on Archer's desk.Archer glanced up from his work, nodded, and took the papers. "Thanks. Give me a moment to go through them," he replied, flipping through the pages. Dean patiently waited, observing Archer's focused expression.Archer delved into the contents, he didn't trust Dean and made sure to read every bit of paper he brought to his desk. His phone suddenly rang. He raised a finger to Dean, signaling for a moment. "Excuse me," Archer said, reaching for his phone.Dean nodded, watching as Archer answered the call. "Hello?" Archer greeted.On the other end, Sylvester's voice came through. "Archer, are we still on for today? I've been waiting for your text."Archer leaned back in his chair, momentarily halting his examination of the documents. "Yes, Sylvester, we're still on. I'm just finishing up some work here, and then I'll he

There was trouble. Archer could smell the trouble from his car as he stepped into the building.He saw people rushing like their asses were on fire. A quick look at his phone told him all he needed to know.His plan had worked.Archer barely hid a grin as he walked to Madison’s office where the main drama was.He had barely entered when a book came flying at his head. Archer frowned and walked into the room.Madison was yelling, and Dickson and everyone were too.“What do you mean the stocks are falling? What rubbish are you talking about?” That was Madison.She was talking to Dickson who was red in the face with anger.“I don't know what you want me to tell you. I told you that boy would be no good for this position and yet, you elected him. This is the result.”Archer cleared his throat, the sound cutting through words but it didn't work.They were too worked up to hear him talk. It was like he didn't even exist.Archer tried a different approach, he figured he could at least use t

Madison was still in shock when Ferguson sauntered into the room with a smirk on his face. He needed to gloat and that can only be done face to face.He needed them to see that they made a mistake in firing him.Everybody turned to him, their expressions filled with annoyance. His wide grin was confident as he scanned the room, expecting applause for whatever feat he believed he had accomplished."Hey everyone! Were you waiting for me?" Ferguson asked, spreading his arms theatrically. "Sorry for being fashionably late, but you know how it is."The warm welcome he anticipated was not what he received. Dickson, standing closest to him, reacted with an unexpected punch straight to Ferguson's jaw. The force of the blow caught Ferguson off guard, and he stumbled backward, wincing as he rubbed his ribs."What the heck, Dickson? I know you are excited to see me," Ferguson said, trying to mask his discomfort with a forced laugh. "You didn't have to hit me so hard."Dickson was far from amus

The police whisked Ferguson away even as he screamed and struggled. It was a sight that called for celebration.“I think you owe me an apology,”That was the first thing Archer said to Dickson. Dickson frowned heavily, the words were hard to come by.At least that's what Archer told himself as Dickson struggled with the words.“Yes?” Archer prompted.“I apologize for accusing you.”Archer nodded. He didn't say if he accepted the apology or not and judging by the look on Dickson’s face, it was pissing him off.He smirked. This was fun, Archer wondered what else was in for him today.“That's it? You are not going to say anything?” Dickson asked,“Why should I? The apology wasn't genuine to start with. I can't accept it.” Dickson let out a growl but a voice interrupted them.“We need to call Dean and find out whose idea it was to steal that file,” Maxfield said.Everybody nodded like they were thinking the same thing. Archer for one couldn't wait to see what Dean would look like in a ho

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

It wasn’t surprising to hear the words come out of his mouth. He knew he wanted to marry her a long time ago but now that he said it, he was so sure. The tightening in his chests disappeared and his arch nemesis became the least of his problems as he processed the best way to make Madison agree to marry him. Archer remembered standing up and walking away, leaving Damien sitting there. He remembered entering the car and driving back to his hotel. The rest was so blur and before he knew it, he was back in his house. Under the shower to gather his thoughts, he had Royal after him and now, he wanted to make Madison fully his. Despite their ups and downs, he had never stopped loving her. She was meant for him and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Archer dried himself off and dressed in his most casual clothes, he decided the best person to help him look for a ring was Lydia. She had taste and being close to Madison must be a plus. He took out his phone and called her, she pick

Damien hummed in response, “I see. I have heard of him but we haven’t crossed paths,” “Yeah, he is always careful not to be seen all the time. He is like a ghost.” “It looks like your old buddy is looking for you, I don’t know why though.” Kei said. Archer shook his head, “I know why, I stole from him years ago.” “You did what?” Damien almost yelled. Archer shrugged, “it’s not much but to him it’s a sign of disrespect. I had to survive and the best way to do it was with a little help,” “What happened to you?” Kei asked, “I was under the impression that you magically blew into a rich heir overnight,” “I wish that was true,” Archer scoffed, “I did things I wasn’t proud of but I don’t regret anything. I was a child with no parents and no money, I had no problems stealing even if it meant I don’t starve to death.” “We are not judging you, Archer. I didn’t get to where I am right now without a little sin or two. I am just curious as to why you didn’t stay with him,” Damien

Nine year old Archer walked along the streets, hungry and tired. His eyes were drooping close like he might drop down on the dirty floor. For days, he had walked this alleyway. Searching for something to eat, anything at all. The only money he had was left for emergency in case he fell sick which he wasn’t far from right now. He stopped beside a dumpster and leaned his head against it, just five minutes and he would be alright. His eyes closed but not before he begged for a savior, the saying be careful what you wish for was right in that sense. A boot kicked him after an hour and his eyes flew open, there in front of him were three men with snarls on their faces. It didn’t register at first till Archer sat up quickly, bumping his head against the dumpster and wincing. The men looked at me before they burst into laughter, “look what we found, did a cat get lost?” “No, I just wanted to sleep,” Archer had said. They frowned before one reached out and slapped him, the force o

Archer and Damien gaped at the Korean heir like he was out of his mind. Kei just continued to sip his tea like he didn’t just drop a bomb on them.“I am sorry, what?” Archer asked just to be sure.“I said, he was acting on my orders. You don’t think there would be an imposter running around without my knowledge, that would be a bad look on me,”“So, you sent him to me?” Archer questioned.Damien was still looking between them, “Kei, what is this?”“I couldn’t help myself. I was curious to know about the friend you sang praises for, and since I had to test him, that’s why I sent him?”Archer chuckled, “this is crazy. This is fucking crazy, I cannot believe you are testing me. What do you have to test me for? If you were tired of hearing about me from Damien , then you should have asked him to stop talking about me.”Kei shook his head, “way before that, I have always heard about you. I knew we would do business together but I needed to be sure that I could trust you and finding a way t

Settled in a nice hotel, Archer took a shower and tried to relax. The brunch was tomorrow and he needed his wits to get through it.His phone rang and he picked it up, smiling already.“Why the hell have you been ignoring me?” Madison barked.She was pacing in her office and mad out of her mind at the sort of prank her boyfriend was pulling. She was tempted to fly out there and give him a piece of her mind but she had work to do.She had a reason for staying back here like she said.“Madison, I have been on a flight for hours and only just got to the hotel, I am exhausted,”“You are, aren’t you? What made you so tired? The girl giving you a blow job?”“Was it? I don’t remember,”“Archer, that isn’t funny. Please tell me you are joking,”“Come to New York and find out then,” he taunted.Madison chuckled, “all this because I said I wasn’t coming? You are acting like a baby,”“Okay, if you say so. I am sure the hostess that followed me to my room disagrees with me. But sure, anything you

It didn’t take long for Damien to contact Archer for the brunch. Archer was on his way to New York to meet with them. All his meetings have been canceled and his schedule cleared, he wanted to meet the man before he could begin his investigations. Archer frowned when he noticed new hostesses on his private plane, he didn’t notice that Lydia had hired new people. He made himself comfortable and frowned when one sauntered up to him with a sultry smile, “Can I get you anything, sir?” Archer nodded, “a bottle of water, please.” She nodded and walked away, returning with a bottle of water and ice. She leaned a little too closely to pour it for him. Archer leaned back when the scent of her perfume wafted into his nose. He scrunched his face and waited, “Would that be all?” She asked with that same smile. “Yes,” She walked away. He took out his laptop and started working. He had a conference call scheduled with an investor. Just a minute more to go. The laptop screen came alive an

Archer made good on his word.The next morning, he went straight to Madison’s company and into Benedict’s office. The man was bent over his desk reading something and mumbling to himself.Archer was glad there was no receptionist to announce his visits so he snuck in to the office and leaned against the wall.He wondered what got the man’s attention that he didn’t notice that someone was with him.“Nice view,” he said.Benedict shot up so fast with wide eyes when he saw Archer standing there, his face shuttered with anger as he glared at his visitor.“What the hell are you doing here and how did you bypass security?” He demanded. Archer rolled his eyes, “you are kidding me, right? You have forgotten who owned the company first, I am no stranger here which is why I know you were not part of the executives I had before,”He walked to the desk and sat down , Benedict slowly lowered himself back to his chair.“What do you want?”“I want to know how well you know your son to think I kille
