“You mother…” Charlene stopped short when she saw Madison standing there.Madison barged into the room and froze when she saw Archer lying there, his clothes tousled and unresponsive.Her anger came back in full force and she attacked Charlene, she slapped and punched her several times before she was satisfied.“You are hurting me,” Charlene cried out.“Not as much as I will be if I find out that you did more than hurt him, you fucking bitch.”Madison rushed to Archer and started shaking him, “Archer, wake up,”Archer stirred and opened his drowsy eyes, “Madison?”“Yes, it’s me. I am taking you home,”“Okay,” he said before his eyes rolled to the back of his head.“You are going to have to get past me,” Charlene said as she swung a lamp.Madison turned back and narrowly escaped the lamp from hitting her. She bared her teeth at Charlene.“So this is what it has come to? You want to take advantage of him after dragging him?”“Who said I had to drug him to get him to fuck me?” Charlene

Madison took the IV off Archer’s arm and waited for him to look presentable before she could take him home but they were yet to talk about the elephant in the room. Archer kissed her. She had no idea if it was out of appreciation or something else, she didn’t want to bring it up till he was ready. They got into the car and Madison kept sneaking glances at him, hoping he would say something but he just looked out the window. When Archer turned, hope bloomed in her chest but it quickly went away when he opened his mouth. “I believe I heard she was going to record it?” He asked tersely. Madison nodded, “she wasn’t going to, she was already recording it.” “You gave it to the police?” “Yes, but I also made a copy of it just in case,” Archer smiled brightly, “thank you, Madison. You are one intelligent lady,” Madison beamed from his compliment and took out her phone before handing it to him. Since she was driving, it was easy for him to watch the video. Archer tensed when the v

Barrington sat in his office when Archer knocked and entered.“Why are you here?” He asked.“I came to talk to you,” Archer said as he made himself comfortable.“I have nothing to say to you,”“Why not? I know you have a lot to say to me. Are you too scared to do it to my face?”“I am not scared, little boy but I suggest you remove yourself from my office,” Barrington threatened.Archer laughed before he took out his phone, “I have something you would like to see but then again, I wonder if you deserve to see it,”Barrington stared at Archer with so much impatience that it made Archer laugh again. “Spit it out and get out, I have a lot of things to do today. I am sure you know that,”“What am I supposed to know?”“My daughter left the company and is starting out here,”“Really? Good for her, you must be thrilled.”“You must be joking,”“I am confused, what parent would be over the moon that their offspring is leaving the nest,” Archer asked.“That is how you are putting it? You are t

“So you are just going to stand there and watch him drag our family through the mud?” Barrington asked.Evelyn narrowed her eyes at him, “Our family? No, you must have heard him wrong. He is dragging you through the mud,”“And you are going to let him?”“How many more chances do you need, Barrington? When will the greediness clear from your eyes?”“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” He asked his wife.“The only reason why that boy is not dragging our family and saving us from the embarrassment you caused is because you daughter, despite all you have done didn’t turn out like you wanted,”“God forbid I did,” Alexa said.She didn’t want to think about it. Archer was sparing she and her mother because he likes her. She had been good to her despite what her father thought.“I cannot believe this is coming from you, Evelyn. Everything I did, I did it for us.”“Pray tell how you did it for us? Not one move you have made has benefited us,”Barrington shook his head in disbelief, he cou

Evelyn and Alexa burst into laughter while Alicia stared at them like she ate lemon.“Please repeat that,” Alexa said.“I need money,”Barrington sighed, “baby, things are a little hard right now. I don’t have any money to give you but I will sort you out when I am released,”“If you will be released,” Evelyn added.Alicia glared at him, “you are leaving me here with them? They will…”“You better sort your toy out before I throw her out of here,”Alicia glared at them, before she crossed her arms.“You just gave her money, why can’t you give me?”“It’s a little more complicated than that,” he answered.“Well explain,” she demanded.“I am afraid we don’t have time for that right now,” Alexa said as she looked at the two police men standing behind them.“Good day, sir. You are under arrest for the possession of an illegal rape drug and for plotting for Sexual assault on Mr Archer,” one announced.Alicia’s eyes widened as she watched them march over to Barrington and cuff him.“No, it’s

Alicia jumped away from Archer so quick that he almost laughed. She took one look at Madison and rolled her eyes, “We are a little busy here, darling.” Alicia said, not sparing Madison a glance. “I can see that,” Madison said. Archer smiled, “Ready to talk?” Madison pinned him with a glare, “so that’s what we are going to focus on? Not why this slut has her arms around you?” “Who the hell are you calling a slut?” Alicia was offended. “I didn’t stutter, did I? Why are you here?” “I came to talk to Archer and I don’t see how that is your business,” Alicia said as she tried to wound her arms around his neck.Archer dodged it and she lowered her arms to her side and glared at Madison for intruding. “It is my business because you have a knack of taking what belongs to people and this one just happens to be mine,” Archer raised a brow and willed Madison to look at him but she stubbornly glared at Alicia. “He is yours? I don’t think so,” “Why not?” Madison asked.“Because I am thi

Madison sighed and crossed her arms. “I only came to talk but you are already busy with someone else,” she said as hurt flashed all over her face, “nothing is going on,” “Madison,” “I am sorry I interrupted whatever that is, I will get going now.” She said, avoiding him. Archer sighed to himself, he figured she needed time to come to terms with things. “Okay,” he said and turned to walk back to his desk. “Okay? That’s all you are going to say?” She seethed. Archer turned back, “is there anything you want me to say that I haven’t said in me hundred voicemails? Did you even listen to them?” Madison shook her head, “no,” “Okay,” She gritted her teeth at his answer, “stop saying okay,” “Alright then, I thought you were leaving?” “You want me to leave?” She asked. Archer was beginning to get irritated, he ran a hand through his hair. “Yes, you can leave. I have more work to do,” “I see that. You clearly had no problems with that whore interrupting you,” “I guess so, please

Having made things official, Madison decided that tonight she was going to spend time with him at his place. She took off work to shop in her favorite plaza, which happens to be the one Archer owns. Madison walked into one of the clothing shops and smiled when an assistant barreled over to her. “Good afternoon, ma. How can I help you?” Madison heard the door open but didn’t pay any attention to it, “I want something that screams sex. Something that can render a man speechless,” The assistant smiled, “You have come to the right place, please take a seat and I would be right there with you.” The assistant left her and went to attend to the new people coming in. Madison made herself comfortable on the plush sofa.The assistant brought champagne which she took with a nod. She waited and scrolled through her phone unaware that someone has joined her on the sofa.Alicia glared at Madison with disdain, “well look what the cat brought in,” she sneered.Madison who wasn’t paying attention

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
