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
A week later and no response from Madison, Archer was more than ready to move on. It didn’t help that his anger was the much needed catalyst he needed for it.He was in his office when a call came in from Allen, he sighed before picking it up.“How many times have I told you not to call me if it’s not important?” Archer snapped.Allen chuckled, “yeah, I am aware. Self righteous Archer, who can never do anything wrong. I think you may want to rethink that title,”“What the hell are you talking about?”“I am sending you a link, I am sure you would want to see what is inside and if I were you, I will.”“What in the world are you talking about?” Archer was confused but he frowned when Allen ended the call and a minute later, a text came in on his phone.He clicked on the link and his eyes widened when he saw an article about him.THE CEO’S HIDDEN SECRET.It was in capital letters for everyone to see and there pasted on the front page was him, dressed in a suit with a red banner placed ove
