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

Madison giggled as she took a drink from her glass, Lydia was in front of her smiling from ear to ear.While Archer was in a meeting that he didn’t invite them for, Madison’ was busy glowing from happiness after successfully getting what she came for.“So… you are good now?”Madison shook her head, “not quite but we will be. He wants us to repair our friendship so we would start from there.”Lydia squeezed her face in distaste, “what if he meant it. Like he doesn’t want to be more than friends anymore,”“Then I must have gotten the wrong signal from him because the way he kissed me back didn’t look like friends. He was hungry for me and I know the only reason why he is holding back is because of the place we are right now,”“I understand. I hope that’s not the case because I hate to see you guys break up.”Madison grinned, “so I overheard him talking on the phone, sounds like there is a party he might be taking us too. He is going to take one good look at my dress and go crazy,”“Have

The party was in full swing as they entered. Archer dressed to the nines in his tuxedo, Lydia was hanging on his arm in a dazzling gown. Archer craned his neck like he was looking for someone. Lydia nudged his arm, “she is not here yet,” “Who?” He asked confused. Lydia smirked, “You were looking for Madison, right?” “No, Damien.” Lydia nodded but she was still looking at him, Archer averted his eyes till he saw Damien. Excusing himself, he walked towards Damien who was laughing in the midst of some men in suit. When he saw Archer walking towards him, he smiled, “gentlemen, this is my business partner. The one I was telling you about,” Archer nodded, “hello, it’s nice to meet you all.” They responded positively before Damien excused himself, “what’s up?” Archer asked. “Yeah, I did mention I had a present for you tonight. It would soon come,” Archer smiled, he had no idea what was going on but he was willing to go along with it. He opened his mouth to ask Damien something when

Madison didn’t wait for her date, she fled straight to the hotel she knew Archer was staying in, she started banging at the door with tears in her eyes. Archer opened the door with more force than necessary, he was in a towel and he frowned at Madison. “What the hell are you doing here?” Madison ignored him and made her way past him. She went to the bathroom to check, “where the hell is she?” “Who?” “Don’t play dumb with me, Archer. I am not in the mood, where the hell is that bitch?” She snarled. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” “Did you sleep with her? I want you to answer this honestly before I kill you then I kill her,” Archer burst out laughing, “you are hilarious. You cannot honestly think I would do the same to your date, you are free to do what you want,” “I didn’t sleep with my date,” “I didn’t ask and I don’t care. Whatever I did with my date is none of your business so why are you here?” Madison snarled right in his face, “it is my business b

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.

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
