Archer easily side stepped Allen as he lunged at him but that didn’t deter the man. He tried to hit Archer but he got held back by his friends. “Stop that, Allen. He is not worth it,” Greenfidge pleaded with him. Archer shook his head and chuckled, “No, let him. His anger is justified but either way, he is going to jail.” He turned to Allen, “go ahead, hit me.” Allen fumed but the fight had gone out of him, he pointed his finger at Archer instead, “You idiot, do you realize what you have done?” “I am not sure, could you explain?” “You think sending us to jail would give you access to our business? Think again,” Archer only scoffed, “you think I have an interest in your business? It means nothing to me right now, Allen. You and your idiotic friends can rot in hell and I still wouldn’t touch your business. However, Alexa and her mother would happily take it off your hands,” Powell gaped at him, “you are giving our business to that woman?” “That woman is your partner’s wife, yo
Madison broke down on the ground crying as she watched Archer’s car zoom off. She stayed there for some minutes before standing up, she reached for her phone and texted Alexa to meet her at the house.Her tears were still coming down like a waterfall, she knew it wouldn’t be easy to convince Archer to give her a chance but it was worth a try.She didn’t realize how brutal he would be to her even though she deserved it. She managed to walk to her car and enter before leaving.When Madison alighted the car, Alexa was already standing in front of her front door with a sad smile.“I take it that it didn’t go well?” She asked.Madison nodded sadly and started to unlock the door, they both entered inside and she flopped onto the couch with a dramatic sigh.“I can’t believe this,”“What exactly are you not believing?”“You should have seen the way he acted like I meant nothing to him. I was trying to talk to him and he left me there.”Alexa’s face softened, “oh honey, I told you not to expe
Madison took a deep breath as soon as she got to the door. The flowers in her hands were fresh and also Archer’s favorite. It sucked that this was the first time she was giving him flowers but she hoped he didn’t take it the wrong way. After the talk with Alexa the previous day, she realized she needed to put in an effort if she was going to get her man back. He was angry because he still loved her and that was something that gave her hope. She raised her hand to knock when Lydia snuck up behind her, “what are you doing?” Madison was startled and dropped her hand, she looked behind to see Lydia who was looking at her like she had gone crazy, “um, I came to see Archer.” Lydia nodded and moved to go away, “okay, go ahead.” She had files she was carrying and started walking away when Madison sighed, she figured if she couldn’t get to Archer then she should at least make peace with Lydia. “Lydia, wait. Can we talk?” She asked. Lydia stopped in her tracks, “I am a bit busy,
Madison tilted her head, “I called you a coward,” Archer chucked and stepped away from her hold, “you are trying to make me angry but I am onto you, let go.” “No, you are a coward. So what if I made one mistake? How long are you going to punish me for it?” Archer narrowed his eyes. “A mistake? You call what you did a mistake? Madison, you called me a cheat, broke up with me and checked out of our friendship. If that’s what you call a mistake then I don’t want to find out what you do when you betray someone,” “I did not betray you,” she mumbled. “Of course you didn’t. You did worse,” he said. Madison deflated, “Archer, I didn’t come here to fight with you. I came to talk but you are not making it easy for me. Just please, hear me out.” Archer seemed to think about it before he stepped closer to her, letting her see the hurt in his eyes. She flinched, She didn’t know what to say again and he scoffed. “Now that you have my attention, you have nothing to say? When are you going
New York was great and Lydia bounced in her seat, filled with excitement at visiting a new place. Archer watched her carefully after telling her almost ten times to relax but she was too filled with energy. Archer didn’t tell Madison where he was going but Lydia did, after Madison apologized to her, she has been soft towards her so she told Madison where they were going. Archer unfolded his tablet and started working, he was going to acquire a new company and he needed to learn as much as he could from the dossier his executives gave him. It was a full research on the company and their employees including their executives. He had promised his board to come back with good news. “Is there anything I can do for you, Sir?” A hostess asked. Archer shook his head and turned to Lydia. “Do you want anything?” Lydia shook her head as she bounced around in her seat, “no,” she giggled. The hostess walked away and Archer arched a brow, “would you relax? You are making this whole t
A man stood up with his lips twisted into a snarl, Archer knew him from the dossier as Raphael. He was the most stubborn and often gave people a run for their money.But it wasn’t going to work this time.“Go home, we don’t want to sell.”Archer stared at the man for a long time before he closed the file, he risked a glance with Lydia before he shook his head.“We both know that’s not an option and the minute I walk out of here, nobody is going to buy this mess of a company. Did they hire you people from the prison?”“Excuse me?” Raphael bristled.“I didn’t stutter. You are way too uncouth to be working for a company. See what you turned it into,” Archer said as he gestured with his hands.They shifted uncomfortably, “this is not a place someone would apply to. Do you even have the money to pay them? Nobody would buy this dump either so I am your best bet. Stop fighting me or my time would go to someplace more worthy of my attention,”“Just who are you?” Another who Archer knew as Cha
Archer was dumbfounded, he had no idea she was interested in the company too. “I had no idea you were interested in it,” Madison shrugged, “I am a business woman after all, it was hard not to once I was presented with the opportunity,” Archer nodded, “very well, I am about to start so maybe you can come in when I am done,” “No, she shook her head, “I will be here with you, two heads are better than one after all,” Archer nodded, he noticed the rook has gone quiet and looked up, Mitchell’s eyes were narrowed at them, “Who is she?” He snarled, “I am Madison, I am also here for the same reason he is,” “There is definitely tension between you two,” he continued. Archer said nothing and just wrote down something in his book ignoring them, Madison smiled and rubbed his arm. “I am his girlfriend,” Archer rolled his eyes, “Ex, you are my ex girlfriend and please focus on why you came here,” Mitchell barked out a laugh, “this ought to be good,” Just then Raphael stepped in, carryi
Archer stood frozen at first while Madison took the lead, she sighed into it and was disappointed that her plans didn’t work out.She thought he would be all over her the minute she touched him but it was the opposite. Unable to swallow her disappointment, she tried to break it off but she gasped when Archer pulled her back in and his lips plundered hers.Madison was unable to contain her smile as her arms found themselves around his neck, pulling him closer. All the fighting and malice was seized for this moment.But it came crashing down when Archer cursed and wrenched himself away from her, with a glare he cleaned his lips.“Don’t give me that look, Archer. You didn’t have to kiss me back,” Madison snapped.“You are right, I didn’t have to but I did anyway. This is my fault and I take responsibility for it, and I apologize for taking advantage of you in your state,”Madison shook her head, “you didn’t take advantage of me,”He frowned, “I apologize,”“You want to take responsibilit
