Archer finished work early and decided to go to a bar for some drinks. He dialed Madison,“Hello?” She answered.“Would you like to get a drink?” He asked.“I can’t, I have some paperwork I have to finish before I leave but I will meet you there when I am done,” she said.“Bummer, okay then. Meet me when you finish,” Archer said as he typed in the name of the bar he was going to.He hung up and got into his car. When he got to the bar, it was not as busy and he thanked goodness for that. He just wanted to drink and have a little quiet.The bartender smiled, “Good evening, sir. What can I get you?” He asked.“Scotch, no ice.”The bartender nodded and went to make the drink. Archer didn’t think much of it when he moved out of sight to pour the drink. He has been coming to this bar for a long time.He took out his phone and texted Madison again to know if she was finished, he needed to tell her something.Archer thought he could deny his feelings for her but it just came bubbling back u

“You mother…” Charlene stopped short when she saw Madison standing there.Madison barged into the room and froze when she saw Archer lying there, his clothes tousled and unresponsive.Her anger came back in full force and she attacked Charlene, she slapped and punched her several times before she was satisfied.“You are hurting me,” Charlene cried out.“Not as much as I will be if I find out that you did more than hurt him, you fucking bitch.”Madison rushed to Archer and started shaking him, “Archer, wake up,”Archer stirred and opened his drowsy eyes, “Madison?”“Yes, it’s me. I am taking you home,”“Okay,” he said before his eyes rolled to the back of his head.“You are going to have to get past me,” Charlene said as she swung a lamp.Madison turned back and narrowly escaped the lamp from hitting her. She bared her teeth at Charlene.“So this is what it has come to? You want to take advantage of him after dragging him?”“Who said I had to drug him to get him to fuck me?” Charlene

Madison took the IV off Archer’s arm and waited for him to look presentable before she could take him home but they were yet to talk about the elephant in the room. Archer kissed her. She had no idea if it was out of appreciation or something else, she didn’t want to bring it up till he was ready. They got into the car and Madison kept sneaking glances at him, hoping he would say something but he just looked out the window. When Archer turned, hope bloomed in her chest but it quickly went away when he opened his mouth. “I believe I heard she was going to record it?” He asked tersely. Madison nodded, “she wasn’t going to, she was already recording it.” “You gave it to the police?” “Yes, but I also made a copy of it just in case,” Archer smiled brightly, “thank you, Madison. You are one intelligent lady,” Madison beamed from his compliment and took out her phone before handing it to him. Since she was driving, it was easy for him to watch the video. Archer tensed when the v

Barrington sat in his office when Archer knocked and entered.“Why are you here?” He asked.“I came to talk to you,” Archer said as he made himself comfortable.“I have nothing to say to you,”“Why not? I know you have a lot to say to me. Are you too scared to do it to my face?”“I am not scared, little boy but I suggest you remove yourself from my office,” Barrington threatened.Archer laughed before he took out his phone, “I have something you would like to see but then again, I wonder if you deserve to see it,”Barrington stared at Archer with so much impatience that it made Archer laugh again. “Spit it out and get out, I have a lot of things to do today. I am sure you know that,”“What am I supposed to know?”“My daughter left the company and is starting out here,”“Really? Good for her, you must be thrilled.”“You must be joking,”“I am confused, what parent would be over the moon that their offspring is leaving the nest,” Archer asked.“That is how you are putting it? You are t

“So you are just going to stand there and watch him drag our family through the mud?” Barrington asked.Evelyn narrowed her eyes at him, “Our family? No, you must have heard him wrong. He is dragging you through the mud,”“And you are going to let him?”“How many more chances do you need, Barrington? When will the greediness clear from your eyes?”“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” He asked his wife.“The only reason why that boy is not dragging our family and saving us from the embarrassment you caused is because you daughter, despite all you have done didn’t turn out like you wanted,”“God forbid I did,” Alexa said.She didn’t want to think about it. Archer was sparing she and her mother because he likes her. She had been good to her despite what her father thought.“I cannot believe this is coming from you, Evelyn. Everything I did, I did it for us.”“Pray tell how you did it for us? Not one move you have made has benefited us,”Barrington shook his head in disbelief, he cou

Evelyn and Alexa burst into laughter while Alicia stared at them like she ate lemon.“Please repeat that,” Alexa said.“I need money,”Barrington sighed, “baby, things are a little hard right now. I don’t have any money to give you but I will sort you out when I am released,”“If you will be released,” Evelyn added.Alicia glared at him, “you are leaving me here with them? They will…”“You better sort your toy out before I throw her out of here,”Alicia glared at them, before she crossed her arms.“You just gave her money, why can’t you give me?”“It’s a little more complicated than that,” he answered.“Well explain,” she demanded.“I am afraid we don’t have time for that right now,” Alexa said as she looked at the two police men standing behind them.“Good day, sir. You are under arrest for the possession of an illegal rape drug and for plotting for Sexual assault on Mr Archer,” one announced.Alicia’s eyes widened as she watched them march over to Barrington and cuff him.“No, it’s

Alicia jumped away from Archer so quick that he almost laughed. She took one look at Madison and rolled her eyes, “We are a little busy here, darling.” Alicia said, not sparing Madison a glance. “I can see that,” Madison said. Archer smiled, “Ready to talk?” Madison pinned him with a glare, “so that’s what we are going to focus on? Not why this slut has her arms around you?” “Who the hell are you calling a slut?” Alicia was offended. “I didn’t stutter, did I? Why are you here?” “I came to talk to Archer and I don’t see how that is your business,” Alicia said as she tried to wound her arms around his neck.Archer dodged it and she lowered her arms to her side and glared at Madison for intruding. “It is my business because you have a knack of taking what belongs to people and this one just happens to be mine,” Archer raised a brow and willed Madison to look at him but she stubbornly glared at Alicia. “He is yours? I don’t think so,” “Why not?” Madison asked.“Because I am thi

Madison sighed and crossed her arms. “I only came to talk but you are already busy with someone else,” she said as hurt flashed all over her face, “nothing is going on,” “Madison,” “I am sorry I interrupted whatever that is, I will get going now.” She said, avoiding him. Archer sighed to himself, he figured she needed time to come to terms with things. “Okay,” he said and turned to walk back to his desk. “Okay? That’s all you are going to say?” She seethed. Archer turned back, “is there anything you want me to say that I haven’t said in me hundred voicemails? Did you even listen to them?” Madison shook her head, “no,” “Okay,” She gritted her teeth at his answer, “stop saying okay,” “Alright then, I thought you were leaving?” “You want me to leave?” She asked. Archer was beginning to get irritated, he ran a hand through his hair. “Yes, you can leave. I have more work to do,” “I see that. You clearly had no problems with that whore interrupting you,” “I guess so, please

Having made things official, Madison decided that tonight she was going to spend time with him at his place. She took off work to shop in her favorite plaza, which happens to be the one Archer owns. Madison walked into one of the clothing shops and smiled when an assistant barreled over to her. “Good afternoon, ma. How can I help you?” Madison heard the door open but didn’t pay any attention to it, “I want something that screams sex. Something that can render a man speechless,” The assistant smiled, “You have come to the right place, please take a seat and I would be right there with you.” The assistant left her and went to attend to the new people coming in. Madison made herself comfortable on the plush sofa.The assistant brought champagne which she took with a nod. She waited and scrolled through her phone unaware that someone has joined her on the sofa.Alicia glared at Madison with disdain, “well look what the cat brought in,” she sneered.Madison who wasn’t paying attention

If you ask Archer to describe happiness then he would tell you that it was the day he found out he was an heir. The day he also found a family that was loyal to him. It was the day he met Madison and now, it was looking at Madison as she walked towards him to the car. Her smile was real and perfect, so was the dress she had on. She was real perfection. She came to a stop in front of him and he smiled, “hey,” he greeted and brought out the flowers he had been holding behind him. Her eyes widened and little giggles escaped her lips as she accepted them. She sniffed them, “Lillies, my favorite. How did you know?”“I am offended you have to ask that,” he glared at her.She giggled, “I never told you,”“Doesn’t mean I don’t notice,” “Archer, I have to go put these in water,” “It’s okay baby, I can buy you as many as you want.” She blushed and he leaned in to tuck her ear behind her ears. “You look beautiful,” “Thank you, you clean up nice too.” He opened the car door for her and c
