The Enforcer's Sister Chapter Forty-two: Archer - Tamed
‘I shouldn't be here.’ The thought echoed relentlessly in my head. But my brain seemed incapable of controlling the strong will that drew me back to Adele. I hadn't planned to come, but the memory of Chad's disapproving stare compelled me to make a last-minute change and accompany the guards to the airport. I needed time to adjust to seeing her again, so I vacated my car and joined the escort's vehicle, allowing her to take my ride. It gave me the advantage of watching her without her knowledge. Observing her tear-stained eyes and obvious anguish made me reveal myself. Offering her physical comfort was a mistake, but I couldn't bear to witness her pain, especially knowing it was caused by me.Lying on her bed now, the voices in my head grew louder, urging me to leave. Being able to wrap my arms around her again, feeling her warmth against my skin, was pure bliss. The months without her had been torture. For the first time in my life, I felt lost and out of control of my emotions. Noth
The Enforcer's Sister Chapter Forty-three: Adele - Surprise Visit, Nightclub & Poking The Beast
I sat on my couch, my eyes red and swollen from endless tears. The room felt somber, its dim lighting reflecting my heavy heart. Clutching a framed picture of my late brother, Mark, I whispered, "Mark... I miss you so much." My gaze shifted towards the window, where I noticed a black SUV parked on my driveway. Frustration washed over me as I realized that Archer's guards were still monitoring my every move. I tried not to think about him, but it was impossible. The image of his handsome face with his new look taunted my thoughts, igniting conflicting emotions within me. I felt a mixture of anger, disappointment, and an undeniable longing. I growled in frustration, attempting to push away the thoughts that tormented me. With determination, I marched into the kitchen, feeling trapped in the mansion that held memories of him at every corner."Damn it!" I screamed in frustration, releasing some of the pent-up anger that had been consuming me.Days later, I decided it was time to venture o

"You know you'll have to untie me at some point, and I'm going to kick your ass, Archer!" I exclaimed, feeling the Jeep in motion as I struggled to remove the hood covering my head."There won't be a need for that," he replied, his tone noticeably calmer."Is this really necessary? And where are you taking me?!" I demanded."As for where I am taking you, you will soon find out. And I tied you up to keep you still. I wouldn't want you doing something stupid now, I mean you're Mark's sister," he explained."I never do anything stupid!" I retorted."Really? What about that time you said you were going to blow up my car?" he reminded me.I couldn't help but giggle at the memory, but then I heard him chuckle, which only fueled my frustration. "I completely understand why people are always after you. You are infuriating! Right now, you're motivating me to make it a lifelong dream to get back at you!""Coming after me would be so much fun, Adele. The thing is, I wouldn't even run," he said,
The Enforcer's Sister Chapter Forty-five: Adele - Undress
With the tension lingering in the air, Archer carried me inside the luxurious cabin. As we stepped through the front door, I found myself in an open-concept living space that seamlessly flowed into the kitchen. The room exuded an air of opulence, with high ceilings, tasteful decor, and plush furnishings. One entire wall was made of floor-to-ceiling glass, providing a breathtaking view of the snow-covered grounds and the majestic pine trees illuminated by the moon.Archer gently placed me on one of the sumptuous sofas in the living room before he moved with purpose to the stone fireplace. He skillfully ignited a fire, and soon the crackling flames danced, casting a warm glow throughout the room. The flickering light created a cozy ambiance, easing the tension that had gripped us moments ago.Returning to my side, Archer scooped me up once again, his strong arms cradling me as he ascended the staircase. “You know you could just untie me and let me walk by myself,” I said, breaking the
The Enforcer's Sister Chapter Forty-six: Adele - Trapped
His gaze locked with mine, a mixture of surprise, hurt, and something else I couldn't quite define flickering within his eyes. He spoke, his voice filled with a depth of emotion that sent shivers down my spine. "That's what you think? That our first time together was a game?"I whispered, my voice barely audible, "Wasn't it, Archer? It was so easy for you to walk away the following day without a kiss or an acknowledgment of what happened between us as if giving myself to you was nothing and what we shared meant nothing.""Adele..." he rasped, his voice heavy with an emotion I couldn't quite decipher. It was intense, causing my heart to quiver and tears to well in my eyes."Don't you dare lie to me," I pleaded, my voice quivering with pain. "You have a line of women waiting for you. Just leave me alone, please, Archer," I finished, my voice filled with a mixture of heartache and longing."Is that what you want? For me to leave you alone?" he asked. "Y-yes," I whispered, tears streamin

The world around me was twisting and warping as I succumbed to the irresistible pull of gravity. The wind howled in my ears as I plummeted downward, the world spinning into a blur around me. Fear coiled in my stomach, tightening its grip with each passing moment.As I hurtled towards the void, time seemed to slow. The frigid embrace of winter's icy grasp wrapped around me, piercing through my clothes and seeping into my bones. The coldness was unrelenting, stealing my breath away as if nature itself conspired against me.The water below rushed up to meet me, a dark and foreboding abyss. The impact was jarring, sending shockwaves of coldness radiating through my entire being. The chill of the water enveloped me, numbing my limbs and robbing me of control.Beneath the surface, the world became distorted, my vision obscured by the murky depths. Panic seized my chest, and I thrashed about, desperate for air, my lungs burning with a desperate need for oxygen.Time lost its meaning as I str

"I know it's none of my business, but... What's a professional and obviously smart woman like you doing with an idiot like that?" I asked, my voice gruff from lack of use, curiosity getting the better of me.She sighed, a sad smile tugging at her lips. "I've known Justin since I was little," she replied, her tone tinged with a mix of nostalgia and regret. "It's crazy how money can change people.""Money doesn't change people. People are just good at hiding who they truly are until they no longer need to," I stated firmly, my voice carrying a hint of conviction.She arched an eyebrow at my statement, amusement glinting in her eyes. "Hmm... a wise deduction. Not bad for a guy who can't remember his name," she responded teasingly, a playful smile dancing on her lips."Yeah..." I mumbled, feeling a frustrating blend of emotions, a mixture of annoyance and resignation settling within me. "How long do you think it might take before I start to remember?"Her expression softened, empathy radi
The Enforcer's Sister Chapter Forty-nine Adele - Trapped with Archer (Days Before Christmas)
I woke up, enveloped in his warm embrace. He held me tightly, as if afraid I might slip away. A smile spread across my face as I turned to face him, savoring the sight of his handsome features. I reached up and gently traced the line of his thick eyebrows, feeling the hidden cut on the edge of his left brow. My fingertips then trailed along the side of his face and through his beard. His hair was soft and luxurious, and I delighted in running my fingers through its silky strands. I couldn't resist brushing my finger against his lower lip, causing my breath to hitch as a surge of desire coursed through me. He was truly magnificent, the most captivating man I had ever laid eyes on. When he opened his eyes to meet mine, their golden depths shimmering with intense emotion, I caught my breath, instinctively moving closer to him even though there was hardly any space left between us. Our eyes locked, and I could sense the flicker of desire simmering in the depths of his hypnotic gaze."Arc

I groaned as I slowly regained consciousness, my body aching all over. As I blinked my eyes open, the dim light of the room revealed rough, uneven walls that indicated we were carved out inside a mountain. The air was heavy and damp, making me feel confined and disoriented.Before I could fully grasp my surroundings, the memory of the car explosion flooded my mind like a violent wave. I saw it again—the moment I intercepted Adele's getaway car, her tossing a makeshift explosive against our windscreen, and the ensuing chaos. The explosion had been so sudden, that fire and shards of glass blasted towards me. Instinctively, I raised my arms to shield my face, feeling the searing heat and pain on the back of my forearms.The side of my face and chest were also slightly burnt from the blast, and the pain lingered as I woke up panting. I could still feel the shock of the explosion reverberating through me, and my breaths came in ragged gasps.But my disorientation was short-lived as I notic

"Ask me whatever you want, and I will tell you my truth," he said, his voice steady but filled with an undertone of vulnerability."Are you a drug lord?" I asked, my heart pounding with hope that he would deny it."I am not a drug lord, Adele, but I am involved with organized crime in the sense of dealing with illegal merchandise," he replied."Organized crime? Like..." I hesitated, trying to comprehend his words."A mafia. Yes," he answered matter-of-factly, causing my heart to skip a beat. I swallowed hard, trying to process the reality of his admission."What kind?" I forced myself to ask, needing to know the extent of his involvement."Arms dealing is the major part of it, then cheap alcohol importation and distribution, money laundering..." he listed, causing my anxiety to heighten."Human trafficking. Organ harvesting and trafficking?" I asked, fearing the worst.“No, I'm sorry, we are not that morally corrupt,” he replied in a cold tone."Did Mark know?" I inquired, my mind rac
Chapter Eighty-one: Adele - I Am Sorry
Emotions and uncertainty clouded my judgment when I decided to call Chad, but the safety of my child was paramount. My heart yearned for someone to confide in, and I hoped Chad's association with my brother might offer some understanding. I hadn't planned to reveal the pregnancy, but the words spilled out uncontrollably. Maybe I needed to share this burden with someone before it overwhelmed me completely. I knew I had to be responsible for my child's well-being and protect them from any harm, especially considering Archer's dangerous lifestyle.In the secluded woods, I waited anxiously, giving Chad time to approach before risking exposure out in the open. The stress and tension were taking a toll on me, and the exhaustion settled in despite not physically exerting myself. Seeking some solace, I reclined the car seat and closed my eyes, hoping to find a moment of rest.When I eventually stirred from my unintended slumber, the sun was setting on the horizon, painting the sky with a mesm
Chapter Eighty: Mark - I’m Going To Be A Uncle
Watching Adele from my hidden position was torture. So many times, I considered abandoning my spot and revealing myself to her. She might unleash her anger and give me the silent treatment for a while, but I knew she'd eventually forgive me. No matter how grown-up Adele had become, she would always be my little sister.Eliza tried to distract me by engaging in conversation. I pretended I was meeting a new client who needed a bodyguard to deal with a stalker problem. She asked if I'd consider a less volatile career, and I assured her I would, but only after I finished this current job."Mark?" Eliza's voice called out through the phone."Yes, beautiful?" I replied."Are you still interested in marrying me? I know this started as a fake relationship, but now... it's been close to two years..." she said."I am sorry, Eliza. Can we discuss this when I get back?" I said, deflecting the conversation."Is something wrong?" she asked with concern."I will call you back," I said, ending the ca
Chapter Seventy-nine: Adele - Pregnant & On The Run
Nestled in the driver's seat, concealed within the woods, I wrapped blankets tightly around my body, and beside me sat the gifts Mark had given me. The brand-new gun, fully loaded and primed for action, lay within reach, while the cash he provided, along with a carving knife, was securely strapped under the seat. The trunk of my car held a carefully packed collection of weapons, including grenades, rifles, shotguns, and tasers, items I had acquired and added over the course of several months.Knowing my attackers would anticipate my escape, fleeing as far away as possible, I recalled Mark's advice to be daring and unpredictable. Hunger gnawed at me, an aspect I hadn't prepared for. In the past, Mark had always taken charge in situations like this, knowing exactly what to do. Tears blurred my vision, and I wiped them away in frustration.'This too shall pass,' I repeated silently, trying to find strength amidst the turmoil. My thoughts drifted to my brother, and an ache of longing for

Mark had always known, but I had been blind to it, following his teaching to only focus on what concerned us directly.My emotions were in turmoil. Deceived? No, I couldn't say that. Archer had been upfront about being a bad man, but the extent of his dealings remained a mystery.Henry's knowledge of my place didn't surprise me; we had spent the day before searching for the perfect building for my pharmaceutical company. After settling on one, we bought office furniture and lab supplies.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Calling the cops to intercept the DEA?!" Victor Donovan growled at me as soon as he laid eyes on me."They are not real DEA, Mr. Donovan," the head of the precinct spoke up, and my father gave him a single glance, which silenced the older man. Paul Anderson was not a stranger to my father; he had been on his payroll since the day he joined the force. Many law enforcement officers were in his pocket, but my father preferred not to get caught, maintaining a squeaky-clean record for years."They are not real DEA, you say?" Victor Donovan repeated, seemingly unconvinced."They are, Dad. What Paul meant was that they weren't working for the government in this case. They came after Adele, and planted coke in the car, but it is my car. I am responsible," I explained, trying to clarify the situation."Who are they? Who are they working for?" He asked, his expression intense."They go by the name 'Agent X.' I will handle it, Dad," I said, holding his gaze."I'
Chapter Seventy-six: Adele - Ten Weeks Later, 6pm to 9:30pm
As we made our way back to my place, I quickly sent Archer a text, updating him on my whereabouts."Go home to my place, Adele. Must I have that little house of yours bulldozed before you move in permanently, Honey?" Archer's playful response made me giggle."I will go there only if you are coming home," I teased in my text."I am, love, okay?" His reply warmed my heart."Okay. I miss you," I typed, expressing my longing for him."I miss you more," he sweetly responded. Leaning back in the comfortable back seat of the car, I let out a sigh, contemplating the idea of moving in with him.The thought of it made me want to discuss it with Jade and Tiffany. It had been quite some time since we had all gotten together for lunch; lately, our interactions were limited to chat messages.Excitement bubbled inside me as I hastily typed and sent the message to our group chat with Jade and Tiffany. "He asked me again to move in with him!!""Again?!" Tiffany's response was quick, followed by a shoc
Chapter Seventy-five: Archer - Warning
The insistent ringing of my phone roused me from my sleep, and I tried not to disturb Adele as I reached over her to grab it from the nightstand. Slipping out of bed, naked, I walked into the hallway leading to the living room. "Dad?" I answered the call. "Patricia has been found. She is dead," Victor Donovan's voice came through. "Damn it!" I cursed, running my hand over my face and through my hair. "Jessica?" "She's on the run. I had hoped she wasn't that far gone. She's completely unstable. Where's your girl?" he inquired. "She's with me," I replied. "Good. Keep her close," he advised. "She wouldn't dare!" I growled. "That's what I thought until I saw her mother's body. She killed her and a taxi driver. Watch your back, son. Let your men know to shoot her on sight," he warned. "I'm sorry about Patricia, Dad," I said, knowing that my father may not have genuinely cared for his late wife, but she was still his companion, albeit a short-lived one. "Thanks, son. I'm having her
