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

    Archer I stood there as I watched Elena, she seemed to be drowned in thoughts. My eyes scanned her body, the dress I gave her fitted her perfectly. She looks so beautiful and I want to tell her but I don't know what is holding me back.She is slim but she has a curvy figure. “Gattina.” My voice broke the silence. She flinched a little and staggered slightly but I caught her in time before she could fall.She blinked rapidly as she stared at me, I couldn't help but gaze at her lips, it's like they were calling me. They looked so pink and plumb. Her lashes are very long and she has a cute upturned nose. Her eyes are honey brown, staring into them feels like watching the sunrise.I'm just noticing that she's very pretty, and her lips–what am I thinking?I'm getting this strong urge to kiss her but I don't want to. What is she even doing here in the first place? Is she trying to escape?“What are you doing here?” I asked without letting go of her. She scrunched her nose a little and I d

    Elena Fucking asshole. How do you kiss me and blame me? Who the fuck does that? But why did he kiss me? That was so unexpected and strange. The thought of seducing Archer sent a shiver down my spine. Oh God, will I even be able to do it? I don't know the first thing about seducing a man. I was lost in thoughts when I felt a hand around my waist. I jumped, startled. I turned to meet the person, Archer. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Is he on his period or something? He kisses me, sends me away, and now he's here holding me. “We're leaving.” He said in a low raspy voice. Wait, he smells different now, and his hair is messier than before, even though I know I ruffled my hands through it. “I said let's go.” His harsh voice pulled me out of my thoughts. Ugh, rude! I followed him out and into the car. Immediately we got inside the car, he adjusted his tie. Well, that was hot. My eyes drifted to his inked arm. It looked good. Fuck why am I drooling over this asshole? He's su

    Elena I opened the door wider for him. He stretched his hand towards me, holding a glass of water. Oh, silly me. “Why are you giving me this?” I asked with an arched brow. “Don't you need it?” I blinked at him as I took the glass of water and placed it on my bedside table. “Thank you for the water,” I said with a faint smile. All of a sudden, he grabbed my arm. “What is it?” I asked with a perplexed expression. “You keep hiding this hand behind you. Why?” He asked as he tilted his head. “Uh–nothing. What's so special about handing a hand?” “I know your mannerisms, and you don't do that. This is the first time. Did you hurt yourself?” He asked as he tried to examine my hand. I guess he's very observant. “Uh–no, I'm fine. You can go to bed.” “Elena.” The way he mentioned my name made my stomach twist in a way it had never before. Before I could react, he brought my hand closer to his nose and sniffed it. Uh-what the fuck? “Gattina, you've been playing with yourself

    ArcherWe headed to E Corp to meet our new representative. We needed to establish that kind of relationship before we could work. I was a bit hesitant, though.Venetia works there. I'm not ready to see her right now. Although I doubt if that would be possible. We arrived inside the meeting room, and everyone was already seated, waiting for us.My eyes locked with Venetia immediately. I entered the room, but I quickly looked away. “Welcome sir.” A curly-headed guy said with a bow. I'm guessing it's him. “Thank you so much for joining us, Mr Archer, we thought you wouldn’t make it.” I ignored Vinetia's remark. “Proceed with the meeting.”“Hello, everyone. My name is Tommy Roberts, and it is an honour to be given this opportunity to serve in this wonderful establishment.” He said with a wide smile plastered on his face.The meeting went on for about 20 minutes before we concluded. I was on my way out when Tommy approached me. “Thank you so much for this opportunity, sir.” He thanked

    Elena I stared in the mirror for a while, feeling paranoid. Will he be here too? Oh, I'm fucking scared. This place is not as crowded as the last event; how would he be able to attend with all this security? “Hi.” A soft voice called out, and I turned to look at the person. It was the woman from earlier, I can't remember what her name was. She seems sweet, I'm guessing that she is one of Archer's mistresses. “Are you Eddie's new girlfriend?” “Why are you calling him Eddie?” I did remember the old man from the event calling him Ed. Now this woman is also calling him Eddie. “That is his name. He just doesn't broadcast it because he doesn't want people digging into his matter. He's called Edward Cattaneo.” Wow, his name is beautiful. I prefer that to that silly nickname. “Oh.” “Are you his girlfriend?” “ Why are you so interested in that?” I asked with a puzzled expression. I couldn't help but notice how bent she was on finding that out. Why is she so interested in that

    Elena “Elena, Elena, wait. Let me explain.”“Explain what you fucking cunt? You wanted me to die, didn't you?”At this point, I was on top of him as he was pinned down. My hands were in his curly hair as I gripped it tightly. Causing him immense pain. He struggled and tried to pull me off, but I didn't budge. “You sold me off, to some fucking cult. I was sold to an old man you fucking bastard. I watched my life flash before me countless times, I was in hell while you were probably enjoying yourself. So what? Are you here to find more victims? Did you use up all the 1 million?”“Elena, listen. It's really not what you think. I was in debt, a serious one. They were after me, my life was in danger. I needed to save myself. You should be happy for me. I'm safe and sound now. I knew you'd escape, you're a tough girl.”I scoffed in disbelief. I thought maybe getting an explanation from him would calm me down a bit but now I'm more furious. “You thought I could escape a place heavily g

    Elena “El, El, El.” My name echoed in the small room. I recognise this room. My chest went up and down as I breathed heavily. My hands started to tremble, and my lips quivered. I immediately turned to my side and saw her leaving. “Mum!” I tried climbing off my bed, but I couldn't. My legs were bound to the bed. I tried moving, but it felt like I was glued to the bed; all efforts were useless. “Where the fuck do you think you're going?” My father asked as he smacked my cheeks.A loud yelp escaped my lips as his hand landed on my other cheek. He grabbed my face and forced me to look at him.“This is all your fault. Remember that. She left because of you.”I shook my head vigorously. “No, no, no, no.” I shut my eyes tightly. My eyes opened and I realised that I was now in my room in Archer’s house. My hair was damp from the sweat. Beads of sweat were evident on my forehead and my heartbeat raced. Realising that I was here brought me a tiny bit of relief. I placed my hand on my hea

    ElenaMy heart was beating so fast as I stared at the doctor in shock. I was just hoping that he would later say that he was joking. Please, please, say you're joking. I couldn't even look at Edward. How am I pregnant? Fuck, what am I going to do?How could I get pregnant with an engaged man? A dangerous mafia man at that. My plans to escape are now ruined, what if he asks me to stay and be his mistress because of the kid?How can I be with a man I've betrayed? Oh fuck, I'm doomed. What am I going to do? I don't want to abort the child either.“Thanks, Doctor, you can leave. You know the drill, if I find out that this news is circulating, I'm coming for you and your family.” He threatened the doctor. “No need to worry, sir.” The doctor said as he packed his stuff and left. I was still shocked and glued to my bed. I couldn't think straight. I felt the bed sink beside me, so I turned and saw Edward sitting down beside me.I shifted away from him. “I won't abort my baby,” I said defe

    ElenaI was in the living room with Sena as she cleaned. Sena has literally become like my best friend here, so I just talk to her anytime I'm bored, and she's very sweet. “I think the Master is really warming up to you.”“That's just what you think; Edward is just using me to kill time,” I said while sighing and lying on the sofa.“Wait, what did you say?” She turned with a shocked expression. I shot her a confused look. “I said that I think he's just using me.”“No, you mentioned a name before that.”“Edward?” Her hand shot to her mouth before looking around and rushing to my side. “What is it?” I asked with a puzzled expression. “Did he tell you to call him that?” I chuckled lightly at her statement. “Why do you look so surprised? I mean, it's his name. Of course, people are going to call him that.”“No,” she sighed inwardly. “You don't get it; no one dares call him by his name; the only person who calls him that is the mafia leader and his best friend. He doesn't let anyone ca

    ArcherI crouched to meet the height of the little girl who was standing in front of me. "We're here to get you out," I said, keeping my voice calm but firm. "You don’t have to be afraid." They all looked terrified, I don't know how to comfort kids, how the fuck did Elena do it so easily?I wish she was here though. Maybe she could've helped. No one moved. Ric stepped forward. "Listen, we don’t have time for this. We’re the good guys." The kids looked at each other's faces, hesitation evident in their movements. “Elena asked us to help you guys.”Their eyes lit up. “Miss Elena?” The little girl asked with so much anticipation. “Yes, she asked me to help you guys.”“Is she here with you?”“No, but she'll see you guys soon.”"Where are you taking us?" "Somewhere safe," I said. "A real orphanage. One that you'll all be cared for and safe.”She swallowed hard, then nodded. "Okay. Come on, guys,” she told the other kids, and they all stood on their feet.That was all we needed. Th

    Archer 1 WEEK LATERI sat in my chair with my whisky in my hand as I stared at Savien. He stood there quietly with his hands behind him. I'm in my penthouse right now. I normally come here to take care of matters more privately. Savien had received enough treatment, and now he had recovered. I refrained from questioning him while he was unwell because I just didn't want to. “So, Savien.” I began, my tone smooth and calm as I shifted in my seat“Mind telling me what actually happened?” I asked while leaning into my chair. “Miss Elena had escorted the kids to the eatery and decided to go to the restroom; she told me to wait for her outside, so I did what she asked me to. I waited for over 3 minutes, and she wasn't coming out, so I panicked. I banged on the door and asked her if she was fine, but she didn't respond. I had no choice but to barge inside. Upon barging in, I saw a man holding her at gunpoint. I needed to save her, so I tried fighting him off, and that was when he shot

    Archer My forefinger tapped on my thigh as I drove to Don's house. I haven't really gotten the time to speak to him ever since the annual ball. I didn't want to cause a scene.How could he make such a big decision without consulting me first? That is crazy. Does he think I'm some pushover?I arrived inside the mansion and headed straight to his office. I stormed into Don’s office without knocking. I stood there with my hands in my pockets as I stared at him blankly. He sat there quietly, unfazed by my intrusion and just swirled his glass of whiskey. "Edward," he said smoothly without even glancing up. "What brings you here in such a mood?" He said, acting clueless. I scoffed loudly, getting pissed about his behaviour. I slammed my hands on his desk, making the whiskey tremble in its glass. "You announced my engagement to Crystal without telling me first. Why did you do that? I already told you before that I didn't want to marry her.” Don raised an eyebrow as if I’d just complain

    ElenaMy heart beat so fast as we hugged. Archer was immersed in the hug and didn't even want to let me go. He finally broke the hug, staring deeply into my eyes with so much emotion. His once icy grey eyes seemed to have melted. His thumb brushed on my cheeks, sending electric sparks throughout my body. My eyes were also fixed on his. I started studying his facial features.From his bushy eyebrows to his crooked nose to his plumb lips and his high-defined cheekbones. Archer is just a very handsome man. We didn't say anything to each other, but our eyes said a lot. I blinked slowly as I looked at him. His face came closer to mine. I wanted to move away so badly, but I felt glued to the spot. He pressed his lips lightly on mine, making my tummy twist and turn. He pulled back and stared at my lips while licking his. I suddenly felt his erection poking my stomach. We hadn't even done anything yet, and he was aroused. His breathing became heavier as he stared at me. I wish I could rea

    ElenaI paced back and forth in my dimly lit room, and the curtains were opened so I could feel the chilly air that would blow in from time to time. My feet sank to the thick carpet as my arms crossed tightly over my chest. I tried to suppress the growing anger that was bubbling inside me. Archer, that insufferable, arrogant, manipulative bastard. He played with my feelings, and he toyed with me. For a moment, I thought he had actually changed, that he might have seen me as a woman with value and not an object, but I was so wrong. He's so fucking nonchalant about the whole situation and is even blaming me because I decided to save his ass. I mean, if it weren't for me, he would've been hurt, or worse, dead!I brought my hand closer to my lips as I nibbled on my nails. I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head. How did I get here? I wish time would revert just so I could undo all this mess I'm in right now.I closed my eyes as memories from my old life started flooding. The diml

    Archer I knew that Don was plotting something, but I never knew it could be that. Why would he just conclude on such a sensitive topic without consulting me first?Earlier on, we spoke about it, and I told him that I wasn't ready to settle down. So why did he do this? In front of everyone too.The room was silent, but my mind was anything but at peace. My mind kept on drifting to the exact moment Don announced the wedding, the scene kept on replaying in my mind like a horror movie. The voices, the applause, and even Elena’s reaction—it all became background noise to the roaring chaos in my head. Now, sitting in my dimly lit bedroom, I felt like a caged animal. Why the hell would Don do this? And why in front of all those damn people? He really wanted to put me in an uncomfortable position that I would have no choice but to accept. I was kind of having a hunch that something like this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen this soon. I ran a hand through my hair, frustr

    ElenaBailey turned to face me, utterly shocked at what just happened. I, on the other hand, felt suffocated; I felt like my whole world had just crumbled down.Is he getting married to Crystal? So he decided to use me before? I can't believe this. My chest became tight as my breathing quickened. How could he do this to me?Everyone started congratulating him. I–I need to get out of here. I can't stand this humiliation. My eyes snapped to Crystal, and she had a satisfied smirk plastered on her stupid face.“Are you okay?” Bailey asked while caressing my hand.“Yeah, yeah, I'm good.” I nodded frantically. “Would you excuse me for a while?” I said while walking away, I needed to be alone. The look on Crystal’s face was driving me insane. I got out to get some fresh air while my hand trembled. Why am I getting so angry about this? I don't want to be with him, but I feel so hurt and betrayed. If he knew he would be getting married, then why did he make love to me? Did he really want t
