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

If you ask Archer to describe happiness then he would tell you that it was the day he found out he was an heir. The day he also found a family that was loyal to him. It was the day he met Madison and now, it was looking at Madison as she walked towards him to the car. Her smile was real and perfect, so was the dress she had on. She was real perfection. She came to a stop in front of him and he smiled, “hey,” he greeted and brought out the flowers he had been holding behind him. Her eyes widened and little giggles escaped her lips as she accepted them. She sniffed them, “Lillies, my favorite. How did you know?”“I am offended you have to ask that,” he glared at her.She giggled, “I never told you,”“Doesn’t mean I don’t notice,” “Archer, I have to go put these in water,” “It’s okay baby, I can buy you as many as you want.” She blushed and he leaned in to tuck her ear behind her ears. “You look beautiful,” “Thank you, you clean up nice too.” He opened the car door for her and c

The ringing of the phone woke Archer up from what he would call the best sleep of his life. Cocooned in his arms was Madison who slept with no worries.He reached for the phone and received the call.The automated voice came on at once, “If you would like to receive this call, please press one,” Archer furrowed his brows and clicked one, Barrington’s voice filled his ear.“Archer,”“Barrington,”They paused with nothing to say to each other. Archer was still confused as to why he was called but he refused to speak first.“I am in jail,” Barrington said.“I am aware. The voice thing told me,”“I need to get out of here,”Archer chuckled, “I don’t see why calling me would do that for you,”“Drop the charges,”“Is that an order?”“No, I am begging you to please drop the charge. I am heavily affected by this, my wife, my business and my reputation is at stake here,”“Barrington, all those sound like a you problem. You are telling me what you stand to lose because of what you did? I could

Evelyn turned to them, a sneer on her lips.“Yes, it’s coming from me. What about it?”Allen scoffed, “he is your husband,”“A very bad one at that, Allen. What is your point?” She questioned him.They all stared at her, a stare which she returned without flinching. She lifted her finger and pointed at all of them, “you are all sitting here, ganging up on someone who did nothing you while the real villain is in jail.”Evelyn shook her head, “no, you are the real villians. So idiotic to follow the word of my husband without questioning it. Where has that got you? A business deal with no idea how to lead it,”Greenfidge stood up, “shut your mouth, woman. All you have done since you got here is spew nonsense without thinking. Who are you to accuse us of being the villians?”Alexa tried to defend her mother but Evelyn held her back and shook her head subtly, she stepped forward meeting Greenfidge toe to toe.“I hope you didn’t just speak to me that way, Greenfidge. Are you pressed from my

Archer headed back home to meet up with Madison and the surprise that was waiting for him at home. He was surprised when he got there, he didn't see Madison.Brows furrowed and body tenseed, he took out his phone which he noticed has been on silent for a long time. He saw the text message she sent him,'Off to get something from my place,'That was sent thirty minutes ago and he cursed himself for not responding on time but he was sure that she would be on her way back. He entered the kitchen just to percieve the wonderful thing she had been up to. The dining table was filled with nice dishes and they all scented great.Archer calmed down and went straight to his room, well aware that Gabriel traveled and Lydia was out doing God knows what. He opened his door and stopped short when he saw the clothes on the floor and the sound of the shower being used in the bathroom.He smiled and shook his head, he imagined what the surprise was if Madison was in there. Not thinking, he took off his

Madison cried herself to sleep the second she got home, her phone was ringing till she couldn't take it anymore.Of all people to hurt her she couldn't believe that the person she loved the most did this to her. She bared her heart to him and in return, he broke it into pieces. She sniffled and buried her head into the pillow and screamed so hard.She fell asleep after that...................Madison woke up to someone banging on her door as she slid out of bed. She groaned and grumbled to herself before padding to the door.Without checking who it was, she swung the door open and frowned when she saw Lydia standing there.“Where is the fire?” She scowled.“What?”“I assume there is a reason why you are banging at my door so early,”Lydia rolled her eyes, not the least offended by Madison’s snark. She barged in, “glad to see you are up and well.”“What are you doing here? Don’t you have a date or something?” Madison snapped.Lydia wagged a finger at her, “don’t you snap at me, I am n

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
Chapter 291
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
