"It's no business of yours," Archer gritted out.If there was someone else around then he had no idea why he would bother with an asshole like Liam, not fogetting that they tortured him to get information on Liam."Come on, I thought you left me here just for you to show up looking bloodied and out of sorts,"Archer wanted to spit at him but he refrained from doing such and just clamped his mouth shut."You are not going to tell me? What about..."Archer turned on him, almost falling on his face. He directed a glare to Liam,"They abducted me and tortured me because they needed information about the butcher," he snarled, "I have had it up to here with you, please leave me alone. Whatever information you plan to give me is not worth anything to me."Archer turned to go but he stumbled and would have fallen if Liam didn't catch him, "Careful,""Fucking let go of me," he snarled at Liam.Liam let him go and Archer managed to hurl his ass to the infirmary for treatement. The female doctor

Archer gingerly walked up to the group with tattoos. They looked menacing but he was walking with the information Liam had given him.It's been a week since he was seriously beaten and Liam had been nice to him. He told him everything he needed to know about most of the prisoners.Today was a general day to be out and Liam told him there was another guy in prison that had been the result of the organization so Archer made note to approach him today.He spied a lone man sitting on the bench far away from the others. His prison uniform was torn from the sleeve, revealing his tattoos. He had them running from each arm.And he was playing with a sharp knife, the blade glinted off the sun. Archer was no coward but he was feeling skeptical about approaching him.He didn't look friendly.“What are you waiting for?” Liam urged him.Archer glared at Liam wondering if he was ever dropped as a baby.Liam smiled, “He is not that bad, he might fight you but he would tell you everything he knows.

Omar stared at Archer who stood calmly close to Levi, this wasn't what he imagined at all.When the Sheikh told him to target Archer, he didn't think the man would be delivered to him on a silver platter but here he was.Omar tried to control his shock when he got beaten, he shook his head and glared at Archer."This is not over," he snarled.Archer smirked, "I didn't expect it to be,"Omar tried hard not to show much this was affecting him, he had been bested by a newbie in prison and his reputation had gone up in flames at that. He didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry."So you think because the whole world knows you as a murderer that you think you are as tough as nails?" he taunted.Archer tensed the minute he heard Omar but he struggled to keep his composure. He obviously wanted Archer to throw a tantrum but Archer willed himself to take deep breaths. He imagined how weak he would look if he lets people know that Omar's words got to him. He would be seen as pathetic.Archer st

Levi settled comfortably with Archer on the bench after Omar and his cohorts left. They were silent and Archer had so many things he wanted to ask Levi but he held himself.He didn't want to scare him off and send him running for the hills but he would follow him carefully.“That was quite entertaining to watch,” Levi said.Archer shrugged, “I hate the likes of him, bullies.”“Why?”“I was bullied and the reason why I am here is as a result of that. So whenever I see them, I get the irk. Omar was trying to intimidate you for no good reason. I wonder why you put up with it,”Levi scrubbed his face with his fingers, “Because I want to avoid trouble. It's never a good thing fighting with them because it never ends. Before you beat him, he was the one everyone feared in here so you can imagine getting on his bad side.”“Okay, that is a fair point. Why are you here?”Levi paused at that, he ran a hand through his hair and wondered if he could trust Archer or not. He had never told anyone t

Archer turned to them, "What?"Liam nodded, "The evidence I gathered is quite substantial and enough to bring them down,""Then why are you giving it to me? I figured you would like to do it yourself so you can get justice," he told them.Levi who had no idea why Liam did that in the first place but he jumped to support his brother, "We don't have the resources right now but we were hoping you would help us in return of giving you the evidence,""I will think about it, but for now, let's not dwell on it. I think eyes are on us so we don't have to be attached."Liam who knew why Archer was saying that just smiled, "I agree but do you think Omar would cause problems?"Archer frowned, he looked in the direction to see Omar glaring at him."He will try to salvage his pride after being beaten so worry about him but I will take care of him when he does anything,"They both admired Archer's bold attitude but they didn't show it. If this was the only chance they had to get out of prison then

Charlene hissed to herself when she noticed that the papers were missing. She had been working on Archer's case but so far, she has had nothing.Nobody was willing to give their statement and go against the people after Archer. She was worried sick about him and just wished she could get him out of there.Her phone rang and she sighed before picking up, it was an unknown number.“Hello?” She said.“Charlene, I need to talk to you,” Madison said hysterically.Charlene furrowed her brows at the urgency in her voice, “You okay?” She asked.Madison had made it very clear that she didn't like Charlene and would rather not be around her which is why Charlene found it surprising to hear her voice.“Yes I am, are you in your office?” “Yeah,”“I am on my way,” Madison said before she hung up.Charlene exhaled and placed the phone back. Her worry for Madison had gone through the roof, she sounded so out of breath and hysterical.Nevertheless, she waited and continued reading up what she had go

Archer smiled as soon as he saw Charlene sitting down and waiting.Her legs bounced nervously as she waited, he sat down in front of her and she almost leapt across the table to give him a hug.“How have you been?” She asked.Archer shrugged, “I have been better, but I should be the one asking you that. I know it’s not easy to see me like this,”Charlene nodded, “It’s not but I am managing. I just don’t understand why you don’t want us to get you out. It is pretty easy to do,”Archer shook his head, “Because I am not done here. Everything I need to take them down is here,”Charlene frowned, “What do you mean?”Archer leaned forward, “What I mean is that I have found the people I am looking for and they came with evidence.”Charlene felt the grin on her face grow, she thought it would never happen but it has.“And?”Archer became serious, “Listen to me carefully, babe. They gave me the information but you have to promise not to go there today. It is possible that you might have eyes on

Charlene walked inside the Sheikh’s office and was surprised to see Davide there. They both looked at her.She schooled her expression to be blank even though being here made her skin crawl. Archer tried so hard to stop her from going but she needed to rattle them so they can slip up.“Charlene, I presume?” Sheikh asked.She nodded and took a seat beside Davide, she could feel his gaze pointed at her but she didn’t acknowledge him.“Correct, thank you for taking the time to see me. I know your schedule must be so packed,”The Sheikh smirked and leaned in, “It’s not everyday you have someone beg you for a favor,”“Actually, I lied.” She admitted with a shrug.“What?” His eyebrows almost disappeared into his hairline from how surprised he was.She shrugged, “I didn’t come to ask you a favor, I just needed an excuse to see you. Men like you are governed by egos so all I needed to say was to appeal to it, it worked.”The Sheikh just stared at her, words failed him so he settled for lookin

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
