Archer found himself sitting in a restaurant with Charlene who had a smile on her face as she stared at him. He found it strange that she would ask him out to dinner after the first day of meeting him. He knew he was charming but not to this extent. "What are you thinking about?" she asked with that same smile playing on her lips. He shrugged, "I just find it weird we are doing this. I am your client, Isn't there a rule against this sort of thing?" She chuckled, "There is but just trust me to know what I am doing," Archer nodded although he didn't voice out what his thoughts were. He didn't want this to jeopardize the case or anything related to it. "What punishment do you think my assistant deserves for embarrassing you like that?" she asked, "I would say fire her but after much consideration, I think she should keep working. Seeing me there constantly would cause her guilt to triple,"Charlene stared at him for a minute before she started laughing, "I never knew you had a wick

Archer parked his car and was not surprised to see Madison waiting for him, he had gone ahead to drop Charlene in her office and had discussed before leaving."Archer," she called out.He sighed, "Madison, I am tired and would like to rest.""No, just listen to me first.." Madison tried to plead her case but Archer was not in the mood but he indulged her."I don't have to, go home."Archer tried to walk past but Madison caught him by the arm and walked around him to face him."I am sorry,""Everybody seems to be doing that these days but with no remorse," Archer took a deep breathe, "Look, I am not mad at you for dating Davide, you guys look good together.""I know you don't mean that, I saw the look in your eyes when Davide said that.""Now, you are being delusional. You want me to say that I felt jealous seeing you two together and I wanted it to be me?" Archer asked."Yes,"He shook his ehad, "You are insane. You think I care about who you date? We just had one brief kiss, Madison.

Archer shook his head as he alighted from the car, his jaw dropped when he saw the cameras being shoved in his face. The blinding lights made him close his eyes for a minute, he opened them again and cleared his throat,"Mr Slaw, we heard you are being sued, how true is this?""Your brother is saying you cheated him out of the will, please what do you have to say about this?""Will this tank your stocks? Do you advice people to pull out before they sink with their profits,""Your brother gave his statement that you bullied him and tried to pay him off so that you felt intimidated by his presence in regard to the company, are you scared of letting him in because you got the company as a present?"Archer tried to walk past but they crowded him with so many questions that he felt his head explode multiple times. He ignored them knowing this was another one of Arthur's attempt to rattle him. It wouldn't work, if Archer had freaked out for every villian that he had then he wouldn't be on t

Arthur stayed watching the news with a wide grin on his lips, he had gotten the idea to blow the horn right in Archer's face when someone had suggested it. He can admit that it was fun watching reporters shove the microphones and cameras up his nose just to get information for him.He knew if his brother was anything was like him then he would blow a gasket at having such a thing revealed to the world, Arthur looked around the room and noticed he wasn't the only one watching with rapt attention and curiousity.They were all waiting to see what Archer does that's why the next thing Archer did sent them all into a moment of spiralling. Arthur watched with despair as his brother gave that speech of not doing anything and before he knew it, he sent the plate next to him flying across the room."What in the world?" One of his supporters exclaimed.Arthur turned to them, eyes wide and chest heaving with unbridled anger, "Whose idea was it to do this?"Nobody said anything as they were all w

The meeting was going on in the conference room.Archer had called a meeting with the strategic team pending the trial. He wanted them to be vigilant because this was the sort of thing that made Arthur’s partners think they have a way into the company.“I don't understand,” Lola said.Archer sighed, “I said, all proposals, reports, memos and every single thing that happens in this company should come straight to me. Nobody should sign off on anything till I give the go ahead.”Lola, Eric and Charlie furrowed their brows at the unexpected development. “I am confused, what is happening?” Charlie asked.Archer decided they needed to know since they would be working with him closely.“The company is being sued,”“What?” Lola yelled.She started panicking, “What is the charge and are we going to lose our jobs?”Archer shook his head, “No, nobody is losing their jobs. I am telling you because this is a plan orchestrated by someone so they could plant a virus. It might come in the form of a

Madison furrowed her brows at the weird greeting. She kept looking at Arthur, making him so uncomfortable. “Why are you looking at me like that?” he asked nervously,Madison shrugged, “No reason, do you have a minute?”Arthur nodded before he could stop himself, he knew Archer was in a meeting and would not be needing his office.“Sure, let’s talk in the office.” he grabbed her hand and led her to the office.Madison kept staring at the hand grabbing hers and wondered what had gotten into him today.When the office door closed, Arthur turned to Madison,“What did you want to talk about?” he said breathlessly,Mainly because Lydia was not in her usual position to call him out on his lie for once, Arthur was glad.“I realized that I forgot to ask you why I am always the last to know what's happening to you. I have asked you if you don't trust me and you said you did, so what…”Arthur was confused, he had no idea how to follow the conversation. “I don't know…”Madison pointed a finger

Three days passed and Madison didn't hear from Archer nor did he call. She got upset and tired of waiting for him and decided to go see him.She was standing with her hands on her hips as she snarled at a confused Lydia,“Is he in the office?” she asked.Lydia furrowed her brows, “Yes, but you don't look like you are going in there for a friendly chat,”“Oh, I am passed the friendly bit. Your boss is an asshole and I am going to rip him a new one,”Lydia had so many questions but she refused to voice out any of them because Madison looked like she wasn't in the mood.She gestured to the door and Madison wasted no time before barreling through it.Archer looked up from his chair, startled at the unexpected entrance. He stood up with a smile to welcome her.“Madison, you didn't tell me you were…”Madison slapped him, she stood in front of his desk and glared at him.“What was that for?” he asked as he cradled his cheek.“You are an asshole, do you know that?”Archer narrowed his eyes, “

Madison shook her head, “No, I am not leaving, not until we talk about this,”Archer his head, “I don't care, we don't have anything to talk about.”“Archer no!”Archer ignored her and started gathering some reports.“I know you can hear me. You are angry, I get it but please just listen to me. I had no idea it wasn't you,”Archer ignored her. Madison gritted her teeth.“Just talk to me, let's work it out. I hate Arthur as much as you do,”Her hands clenched by her side when she realized he was indeed ignoring her. He was dismissing her for no reason.Before she knew it, she marched to his desk and ripped the papers away. Archer turned to her, the anger fiercely burning in his eyes.“You will not ignore me. You can yell or voice out your anger but you will not dismiss me,”“Fine, you want to talk? Let's talk.”Madison nodded but she was surprised when Archer lifted the phone and called Charlene.Charlene answered and he smiled,“Something just came out and I realized I lied to you som

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.

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
