"Get the doctor, quickly!" My mother yelled as I cried, wracked with pain. Victor stood off to the side, watching me as tears streamed down my face."Everybody out!" Victor bellowed."What?! She needs a doctor!" My mother protested."I know. Leave," he replied coldly, giving her a piercing stare."Damn it, Victor, she's my daughter!""And that's precisely why she's still alive, in case you haven't grasped that," Victor retorted in a low, chilling tone reminiscent of Archer. The realization hit me—did he suspect my involvement in this?"Victor, I swear I don't know anything!" I sobbed, as the room emptied, leaving only the three of us at the dining table.Victor took a few steps towards me, joining me by my side. I could feel the sting from the broken glass and shattered plates embedded in my back. Trembling with tears, I knew these wounds would leave scars."Get out, Patricia," Victor ordered my mother, his gaze locked with mine. There was a darkness in his eyes that filled me with fe

The recent days have been an absolute whirlwind of overwhelming experiences. The department has bombarded our graduating class with a multitude of programs, leaving me feeling constantly on the go. From career seminars to elaborate dinners and even a special lunch event, the schedule has been packed to the brim. Amidst it all, I found myself tirelessly searching for the perfect dresses to wear for each occasion.On top of that, we were required to print several copies of our projects and have them signed by various school officials in our department before submitting one to the school library. And getting a hold of the school personnel was not an easy feat. As if that wasn't enough, we also had to sort out our financials to ensure there were no outstanding debts before the graduation ceremony. Exhaustion had consumed me each night, causing me to neglect the fact that Mark's calls had become scarce. Every time I tried to reach him, his phone was switched off. Unfortunately, Archer Do
The Enforcer's Sister Chapter Forty: Adele - Three Graves
In a state of bewilderment, I stepped into the house, only to find the living room transformed beyond recognition, save for the familiar presence of the chimney. The fireplace had undergone an extravagant makeover, adorned with ornate and intricately carved stones, imparting an air of opulence to the room. On either side of the entrance door, elegant tampered glass panels were now adorned with floor-to-ceiling damask drapes, exuding an aura of refined luxury.My gaze ascended to the center of the ceiling, where an exquisite chandelier now hung, casting a resplendent glow upon the space. Its shimmering crystals danced in the light, lending an ethereal touch to the room. On the opposite side of the expansive living area, a majestic staircase took center stage, its grandeur commanding attention and showcasing the artistry of the architecture.The interior exuded an air of richness and sophistication. The walls, now embellished with textured wallpaper featuring intricate patterns, imparte

"Let me go, please," I pleaded, my gaze lowered to his chest."I will when you've calmed down," he replied in his deep voice, the rumbling vibrations reaching me."I'm calm," I whispered, and he slowly released his grip, stepping back abruptly. I took a shaky breath. "Did you do all of this? Renovate my home, bury my brother without notifying me?"I needed something to distract myself from the pain and loss, and he seemed like the perfect target for my anger. Silence enveloped the grounds. I noticed Chad had left, leaving me alone with Archer. When he didn't respond, I had no choice but to look up at his face. My heart constricted as I saw his eyes fixed on Mark's unmarked grave. I remembered then that they were friends, and he had lost a friend just like I had lost a brother."Archer..." I called."It's cold. You should return to the house," he said, turning around and walking away down the path."I want to stay," I replied, my voice trembling."Mark isn't there, Adele," he said, con

‘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

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

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

"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
