Archer's eyes tracked Ferguson's movement as he paced in his office.After the altercation with Dean, Archer had sent him out of the office but not before Dean had promised to report him to the almighty Ferguson.Archer told him to go ahead and report to his daddy to come save him, he had been hoping for that. It wasn't a surprise that Ferguson ran here to defend their honor. Archer watched him pace, his face redder than he had ever seen before.He was still in his thoughts when Ferguson stormed towards him and slapped him. Archer cradled his cheek and when his eyes met Dean's, he was smirking."How dare you lowlife lay your hands on him? And where is that other scumbag?"Archer told Eric to go home and let him handle it, the poor boy was scared he was going to get fired.Not on Archer's life."You people ganged up on him, for what? To prove that you are the alpha male?" Ferguson snapped.Archer kept quiet as he went on, "You foolish boy. You were given a chance by us to make money a

Archer smiled as he leaned against the door, he brought out the recorder from his pocket and the smile on his face grew even bigger.He had been counting on Dean to call Ferguson, they were too dumb to realize they were being set up.He had left them in the office with the other recorder to see what they talk about in secret.Meanwhile, back in his office. Ferguson slapped Dean on the back of his head."You little shit!""Ow! What was that for?" Dean asked,"What were you thinking sabotaging the deal?"Dean scoffed, "I don't care. Besides you are not paying me enough to take Archer's orders like his lap dog. I didn't sign up for this.""And what did you sign up for?" Ferguson asked.Dean shrugged. While the money Ferguson offered him money for the plan, he didn't think it would be this hard.He had been taking orders from Archer like a fool and the asshole used every moment to show him that he was the boss."What do you mean?' Ferguson persisted when Dean didn't answer him."I hate

Archer knocked on the door. He didn't make an appointment because he knew the owner would not accept it.He was yet to meet the man but he was sure they would get along."Are you sure this is a good idea?" Eric asked from behind.Archer nodded, "Of course. I need him to give you another chance. This would put in a good word to your name.""Thank you,""Don't thank me yet."Archer heard a faint come in and pushed the door open. The owner of Wonderland known as Sylvester looked up and smiled but when his gaze traveled to Eric, it changed to a frown.Archer saw the action and quickly jumped to intervene. He raised his both hands as an act of surrender, "Mr. Sylvester, I am sorry to ambush you like this but I would appreciate it if you hear me out."Sylvester scoffed, "Who are you?""My name is Archer, and I am...""Wait, Archer?" Sylvester sat straight, "Archer Slaw?"Archer furrowed his brows, "Yes?"Archer was confused, he didn't know this man."Don't you remember me? We went to the

The board emailed Archer and he abandoned everything he was doing and headed upstairs.For days after he made the complaint, he had been waiting but Madison assured him that they would contact him.Archer was antsy to get this over with. He entered the conference room. He saw Dean and Ferguson staring at him with hate.Ferguson narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing here?"Archer rolled his eyes and didn't answer. Maxfield cleared his throat, "There was a formal complaint lodged against you two."Dean jumped to his feet, "I didn't do anything. Archer beat me up." he pointed to Archer."Is that so?" Maxfield asked, "It says here that you were reported for sabotaging a deal that the department had been preparing for. You were rude and acted inappropriately in the client's office and that made him not want to work with us."Maxfield looked at Dean who was now sitting, "Is any of that wrong?" he asked,Dean kept quiet while Maxfield looked at the rest, "What do you guys think?""It's not

Archer sat in his office after victory and stared at the card in his eyes. He wondered if he was ready to go down memory lane.Eric was right, he needed friends so he could have people by his side but Archer was skeptical.He had no idea what Sylvester wanted. What if he just wanted him so he could get to Dean?Before he could chicken out, he dialed the number on the card.Sylvester answered on the fourth ring,“It's Archer,” he said without preamble.“I am surprised you called.”“You thought I wouldn't?” Archer was surprised.“Yeah, I knew you wouldn't.”Archer was curious, “Why would you think that?”“Because even though we never had the opportunity to become friends. I knew that you are the type to not trust.”“You can't blame me.” Archer sighed.“I am not. I know that because I am the same way. And I promise, I am not using you or anything.”“What do you mean?”“I am not out to take my revenge against Dean, I saw you and I thought we could become the friends we would have been bac

Sylvester chuckled, “I haven't changed that much,” he shook his head.Dean was confused and looked at Archer for help,“I am not helping you. You are on your own.”Feeling dumb, Dean snapped at Sylvester, “Who the fuck are you?”“Language,” Sylvester scolded lightly.He put both hands in his pocket and stood straight, “Let me formally introduce myself. I am Sylvester O’Connell.”Dean’s jaw dropped as he stared between Archer and Sylvester. He threw his head back and laughed.They both watched him, Archer took a swig of his beer. Eager to see how this plays out.“Wow, the universe must be against me, huh?” he pointed at Archer, “This one is a pain in the ass who wouldn't mind his own business.”“And you?” he pointed at Sylvester, “Who tanked a deal because of some vendetta.He kept laughing but it came to a stop when Sylvester stepped forward, a sneer on his lips.“Vendetta? That's what we are calling years of abuse. I guessed I missed the memo.”“Maybe you did. So what? You both plan

Hailey sighed and hid behind the wall. She had been following Archer since Jack told her to be careful.She was curious to know the big leagues Archer played for. She had to make sure Jack was not talking out of his ass.Hailey had been surprised to see Dean with Archer, she knew they hated each other so much.She had no idea what was happening around her. Hailey turned and froze when she saw Dean smirking at her.Before she knew what was happening, his hand struck out and curled around a piece of her hair as he twirled it around his finger.“What are you doing here,?” Dean murmured, his face soft as he stared at Hailey with soft eyes.“Who are you?”Dean rolled his eyes, “Cut the crap, Hailey. You are not fooling anyone. I know you recognize me.”Hailey sighed. He was right. She recognized that unruly bastard. The energy to deny and keep fighting drained out of her.“What do you want, Dean?”Dean scoffed, “What do I want? After all these years?”“You expect me to squeal for joy and j

"What?"Hailey turned around so fast and she saw Archer standing there with his expression closed off.She gulped.Dean smirked as she turned around to glare at him. He had seen Archer walk towards him with his face painted in curiosity.And the idea formed, what better way to ensure that the loser got a feel of who his girlfriend was?Hailey sighed as she looked at the man beside who stared at her with disgust. She could feel it rolling off her skin.She rubbed at her arms, it was disturbing that someone she had never met judged her so openly.She was distracted when Archer stalked towards Dean and asked him to explain.Dean rolled his eyes, wanting to be difficult. He had no reason to indulge the loser. He only said that to antagonize him.Archer shook his head, grabbed Dean by the collar, and slammed him against the wall.“Easy Archer,” Sylvester said as he frowned.He knew nothing good would come out of seeing Dean and Hailey together. They were the worst people to ever team up.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
