Archer The heavy oak table in my study was scattered with blueprints, photographs, and notes—our roadmap to the next phase of control in this city. Ric leaned over the table, his fingers tracing on his ipad.“We need to move the shipment through Boston,” Ric said, his voice sharp and focused. “The police presence is lighter there, and the security we’ve paid for has already cleared the area. We have to do this quickly, Don already sent the word.” I nodded absently, my gaze fixed on the Ipad, but my mind was miles away. Her face kept flashing in my head—Elena. The way her lips pressed into a stubborn line when she was trying to hold her ground, the fire in her eyes when she challenged me. “Archer,” Ric snapped, pulling me back to the present. “Are you even listening to me?” I blinked, realizing I hadn’t heard a word he’d said. “Yeah, Boston, Light police presence. Go on.” Ric frowned, clearly unimpressed. “We also need to reinforce our hold on the eastern districts. With the
Elena Archer wants me to have breakfast with him again. I don't know if I can look at him after what we did last night, I feel so embarrassed. Why is he doing this? Oh my God, this is going to be so awkward. I made my way downstairs after wearing my hair down and throwing on a sweatshirt and sweatpants. I wanted to wear a hoodie, but they're dirty, so it's being washed. Fuck fuck fuck, this is so embarrassing, I hope he doesn't urge me to sit by him, oh God please. “Good morning.” Ric looked at me and give me a smile and I pulled out a chair to sit. I don't know if Archer did anything because I didn't look at him, I don't think I can. “That will be the last time you'll sit there, this is your seat. Come sit here.” Oh no. Why universe, why? His deep voice echoed in the quiet room. I still didn't look at him, I just got up and occupied the seat he urged me to sit on. We started eating and Ric kept on telling Archer some things. I believe it's about their work because I didn'
Archer “The shipment was successful, we need more firearms for the Britains, they've requested for more. Our next target is Sweden, we have less allies there, we need to move there.” Don said as we all stared at him as he talked. “The southern part of Sweden is already occupied with the Russians, so we can take the eastern part, although we might have some small problems with the Russians.” Nikolai said as he ran his hand through his hair. “What do you think, Ed?” Don asked, and even though I wasn't looking at Hugo, I knew he would be giving me that look. “We cannot focus on the Russians right now. Our main aim is to spread our territory, the Russians must know that we take no interest in them. After we're done, we can complete our mission in Colombia and move on to our next mission.” “I agree with Archer, we must not show any signs of fear to the Russians.” Hugo said while leaning closer to the table. Don nodded slowly. “I'll send some men over there to report to us, then we
Elena Sena, my personal maid, brought me a glass of orange juice. I love orange juice, but this house didn't have any, so I had to beg Sena to get me some when she went grocery shopping. Grocery shopping, I used to hate it so much, but now I miss it. I heard a loud knock, and it startled me, I nearly spilt my drink. I dragged my feet and went to open the door. I immediately stood up straight when I saw Archer. What does he want now? Another punishment? Fuck, looking at him after last night made me feel so embarrassed, I could feel my cheeks heat up. “Here.” He said, handing me a shopping bag. “What is this?” “A dress, you'll be my date for an important event tomorrow. You'll look stunning in it.” He said as his hand slipped to his pockets. “Me? With you? Outside?” I was in shock, he finally wants me to go out? But why his date, can't he take that blonde haired girl?” “Why do you want me to be your date?” “Because I said so.” “You can't wave your hand around and
CHAPTER 23Archer I tried to focus on what I was doing earlier, but I couldn't. Why does she stir up so many emotions within me? And what was that? Why did I want to kiss her?That has never happened before. No matter how badly I wanted a woman, kissing never crossed my mind, but with her, it's different. I want to kiss her. Is this happening because I haven't fucked her? Or am I taking interest in her because she's playing hard to get?I did hear that men tend to like women who play hard to get. I can't help but notice that I'm sometimes extra soft with her, and apart from Hera, she's the second girl I've shown that side to.I'm trying to continue my work in my office but I keep thinking about her bare legs and her lips. “Ah fuck, I can't.” I cursed as I packed the documents and placed them in my drawer and walked out of my office. Let me just sleep, maybe that would work.****I sipped my coffee, the bitter warmth grounding me as my eyes skimmed the dense document in my hand. T
Elena Sometimes, I feel like punching Archer so bad. He's so arrogant and nonchalant that it pisses me off.The car stopped in front of a huge mansion. The door opened, and the driver helped me get down. The surroundings were beautiful, and everything looked luxurious. Archer was by my side in seconds as he slipped his hand around my waist. My body stiffened because of the sudden contact. “Remember everything I told you in the car? I mean it.”Why is the place so heavily guarded? I thought this would be a normal event. I looked around and I felt so happy. I'm finally out of that prison. The air feels so different. All of a sudden, it's like I was never breathing, and I'm finally breathing. Archer and I walked inside with Ric trailing behind us. Immediately I entered, my eyes widened, not only from the beauty of the place but also from the way the lights were so bright. It felt like daytime in here. Everything was made with glass. The women wore expensive clothes and looked like
Archer “Edward, who is that woman?” “Like I said earlier Don, she's my girlfriend.” Don gave me a bashful nod, clearly unimpressed with my answer. I know he wants more information but I wasn't going to give him that. I also know that he's being like this because he wants me to be with his daughter, which will never happen no matter what.Like everyone else in the mafia game, Don is strategic. If Crystal marries me he would still have an upper hand in the mafia game. His profit would increase and that means that he has secured a good future for Crystal because he knows I wouldn't let any harm befall her. “What family is she from?”“She doesn't have a family, she's an orphan.” I lied, protecting Elena was now my top priority, I can't have anyone digging into her past while I'm yet to find out more about her. “I hope you know that what you're doing is risky?” He asked with an arched brow. “I have everything under control. Trust me.” He didn't say anything and diverted his gaze to
Elena I froze in my position, I was just staring at the huge man who was standing in front of me with a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. He took steps towards me and I involuntarily took a few steps back, scared at what he would do next. How did he even know I'd be here? How did he notice me so fast? From the way he just approached me, I'm certain he was spying on me the entire time. “Careful Malysh, we wouldn't want you to fall to your death.” He spoke in a thick Russian accent. He gives me the creeps, I don't think I can ever recover from what happened at that club. The way we were mistreated and the way some of us were killed like animals, this man is a monster. “Wh–how–what are you doing here?” I finally got my tongue back. He smiled again, sending shivers down my spine. The scar on his face makes him look like joker and its fucking scary. “I want you Malysh.” My heart plummeted to my stomach when he uttered those words. Is he here to kidnap me and sell me off ag
Elena “How did you manage to get here?” I asked because I needed to know. Savien has been following me around, and I don't want him to see Joker. But how did he manage to sneak in here without alerting anyone?How does he do that? Does he use some voodoo magic? He just appears out of nowhere and would just disappear again. The interesting question is how he managed to get into the ladies' room in the orphanage?“I don't think that's really important, I did remember telling you that I would find you anytime you were outside, right?” Well, he was right. Wait, does that mean that he follows Archer and I everywhere? That's basically stalking us. That means that he's very dedicated to what he does, but doesn't he have anything to do apart from following us around?Imagine having a life where you have to be following someone around the whole time. That must be very tedious, I can't imagine myself being like that.“Well, well, Malysh,” he drawled, his voice a sinister purr. “Didn’t think
Archer My forefinger tapped on my thigh slowly as I stared at the man kneeling in front of me. His clothes were soaked with blood, and his face was almost unrecognisable because of how badly it was swollen.He was breathing loudly while coughing blood every five minutes. Ric was standing beside him while holding a baseball bat. Some other guards were also present. I walked around him for a while before returning to my original position. I leaned on the table and turned to look at him.“So…I would really love to torture you, but I have somewhere to go, and I don't have that time. So let's just finish this quickly, and you can die peacefully.” I said in a calm tone while checking the time on my watch. I need to pick Elena up soon. I don't like being away from her for long. I still don't understand why I allowed her to work in that orphanage. Well, at least it's just a few days in the week and not all.“Tell me, minion, who was the person that tipped you guys about our deal with the
Elena Throughout the night, I kept on thinking about the kids. Why did they seem so scared when I first approached them? They looked too alert for their age. The crazy part is that they're the youngest. How will the older ones react then? There's something fishy going on in that orphanage, and I need to get to the bottom of it. I heard a gentle knock on my door and climbed off my bed to go open it. Archer was standing there with a glass of water in his hand.Is this going to be an everyday thing? I took the glass with a small nod, appreciating the gesture. He didn't say another word and just walked away. Sometimes, it's so difficult to understand him. He can be so sweet, and the next moment, he's acting like the devil's incarnate.*****I was back in the orphanage. The kids ran to me immediately when they saw me, and I was happy with the way they looked a bit lively now. Seeing them smile wholeheartedly warmed my heart. I helped dress some of them up, and I fed them. “Okay chil
ElenaWe were on our way to the orphanage, and I couldn't control my happiness. Finally, I get to breathe. I gazed at the tall company buildings as if I had never seen one before.I felt like a little girl going to Disneyland. This time around, we went alone. He was the one driving while I sat in the passenger seat.I tried to sit in the backseat, but his facial expression told me not to. “I hope you remember everything.”“Yes, I shouldn't talk to strange people. I shouldn't drink or eat any food if it's not coming from you or Savien. I shouldn't wander around. Jeez, I'm not a kid, Archer.”“I'm just making sure.” I rolled my eyes, but I made sure that he didn't see me or else I'd be in trouble once again. My ass still stings from last night's punishment but I'm still angry that he didn't let me cum. I feel very frustrated but I dare not say anything. I know that he's just waiting for me to give in to him but that would never happen. I would never give in to a monster like him. We
Archer Hearing Elena moan out my name was a pleasure I never knew I would have. Suddenly I want to fuck her so bad that she screams my name all night long. My body keeps on shuddering with every kiss I leave on her soft skin. I do notice the tiny scars scattered on her body, but I look at them like they're artwork. I've been fighting the urge not to eat her out, but I can't anymore; it looks like it wants me. Without warning, I attacked her clit with my tongue, and she let out a loud gasp while gripping my hair. My tongue teased her clit and her thighs shook from the pleasure. “Archer, wha–what–are you–doing?” she struggled to speak between moans. I ignored her and kept on sucking on her sensitive bud. She grabbed my head, pushing me deeper and arching off the bed while moaning loudly. Her moans are like music to my ears. I would kill to hear them every day. “Archer, mmhmm.” I suddenly pulled away and her eyes met mine. She looked confused. Her once innocent eyes were now fille
ElenaArcher dragged me into his room. My heart plummeted to my stomach as I stared at him. He turned to face me with an unreadable expression before starting to unbutton his shirt. I swallowed the lump that seemed to be stuck in my throat. “You want to disobey so bad, huh?”“I'm not being disobedient. You're just a tyrant.”“I see that you really like giving me labels.”“I'm just stating obvious facts.” He tilted his head before taking steps closer to me. His hands brushed on my face, and I remained motionless as his fingers trailed on my skin. The next thing I knew, his hand was slipping under my shirt. A loud gasp escaped my lips when he suddenly cupped my boobs and I gave him a firm push, or so I thought. It didn’t really make any difference. “Don't touch me,” I said while backing away from him. “You don’t fucking get to decide that Elena. Need I remind you that you belong to me? I can take you here and now.” My heart dropped to my stomach when he said that and I blinked rap
Elena It's another boring day in my life in this empty house. Archer has agreed to let me work at the orphanage, but he said he needs to do a little check before he would allow me to go there.I'm not sure why, but I don't really care; at least I've been able to convince him. That is the only thing I am proud of. Archer and Ric left the house early in the morning for god knows what. That means I'm home alone with my crush. I smiled sheepishly to myself. He's so hot. I stepped outside of my room and decided to take a walk in the garden since it was the only place I was allowed to go in the house. Savien was stationed in front of the door.He stood there, all mighty and handsome with his hand clasped behind him. His eyes scanned the surroundings like a hawk. His posture was straight and formal. “Hi,” I said with a small smile. His eyes met mine, and he gave me a bow. “Hello, Miss.” Oh my god, what is up with him and all these formalities? Can't he see that I'm trying to pursue him
ElenaI opened my eyes slowly to an unfamiliar room. My face creased as I looked around. I tried sitting up, but I couldn't; that was when I realised. Fuck. Archer, I slept in Archer’s room. How the fuck did that even happen? Why is he cuddling me? What even happened last night? My head rang, and I winced softly as I clutched my forehead. What happened last night started to piece in. Archer saved me from drowning. Then he brought me home and slept beside me. I tried moving his hand away, but he tightened it even more. I let out a sigh of defeat as I lay there. Archer finally moved, and I immediately pretended to be asleep. He took his hand off me and got down from the bed. I heard the door close, and I opened one to look. “Phew, he left.” I murmured to myself as I sat up. Should I just go to my room? Or should I just be here? The door opened, and I didn't have time to pretend to fall asleep, so I just froze in place while looking at him.“You're up.” He walked closer while holdi
Archer Ric, Savien, and I stood in the garden as we talked about the brazil shipment. Although I felt uneasy with the way Elena stared at Savien, I decided to play it cool. “We're still trying to salvage the situation. The Russians seem to be getting very close to us.” Ric added, his voice clipped but steady. “I want you guys to dig deeper into this case even though Don didn't put me in charge. I need to get to the bottom of this.”Savien replied with a firm nod. “We will, boss.” Ric said in a low tone. “Also, make sure that the new guards are—”“Mr Archer, Mr Archer.” One of the guards rushed towards me. His voice was filled with panic, and he was out of breath. We all looked at him with keen eyes. Waiting for him to say something. My brows furrowed as I looked at him. “What is it?” I asked impatiently in a cold voice. “Miss–Miss Elena. She fell in the pool. She's not coming up.” For a split second, I felt like my heart stopped beating. Then, without another word, I broke in
