The chief of the police stood in front of Rick, holding out a pen and a document that required Rick's signature. "Your signature is required here," he declared in a firm tone. Rick accepted the pen and signed the document, returning it to the chief of police."Go fetch Madison Archer," the chief of police ordered one of his officers, who promptly left the room. A few minutes later, the officer returned with a disheveled and tear-stained Madison in tow. As soon as Madison saw Rick, she rushed towards him and enveloped him in a tight embrace, tears streaming down her face."What took you so long?" she cried, her voice trembling with emotion. Madison pulled away from the hug and Rick took a moment to observe her. Her left cheek was swollen and bore an evident five-finger mark that would take at least a week to heal. Rick gently touched Madison's cheek and she winced in pain. "Who did this to you?" Rick asked, his face contorted with anger."One of the inmates slapped me so hard. It's bee

SUNDAY.Archer Mansion. Rick strolled into the dining room. Madison, Gina, and Rachel were already seated, enjoying their breakfast."Good morning," Rick greeted as he took his seat. A maid appeared and served him promptly. Rick wasted no time in picking up his spoon and digging into his meal.Gina's gaze shifted towards Rick, her facial features conveying a sense of gravity. "Will you pardon your ex-wife for her actions against Madison?." Gina inquired, her tone solemn."Can I not enjoy my meal without any interruptions?" Rick retorted."Gina makes a valid point. Will you simply let Serena off the hook for what she did to me?" Madison joined in, her words laced with hurt. Rick halted mid-bite, setting down his spoon with a clatter."What exactly do you suggest I do, then?" Rick inquired, his voice now tinged with frustration....Madison's gaze pierced Rick, a mixture of bewilderment and fury etched on her face. "Is that all you have to say?" she demanded, her voice already rising i

"We could profit more if Rick marries May Stanford. Why are you taking Gina's side?" Madison remarked as soon as Rick had left the room."I'm not taking Gina's side. While we search for May Stanford and try to make her fall for your brother, we need to keep Gina on our good side. Remember, she has connections. Once we have May Stanford, we can discard Gina," Rachel whispered conspiratorially to Madison.The LUX hotel.As Rick stepped out of the car, he rushed into the bar with panic rising inside him. He scanned the room, hoping to find Ethan safe and sound.Rick and Ethan had been friends since their college days, and despite Rick being a senior, it didn't affect their strong bond. "Rick!" His name rang out across the room. Rick turned, spotting a figure waving at him. A closer look revealed it to be Ethan. Rick proceeded towards him with a scowl etched on his face. Ethan had called him in a state of distress, yet what Rick saw before him painted a completely different picture. Ethan

Serena spotted Ella in a corner, engaged in a lively conversation with two ladies. She established her way over to them "Can I please borrow her for a minute?" Serena inquired, swiftly pulling Ella away from the group. As they distanced themselves from the women, Serena's accusatory tone sliced through the air. "Why didn't you tell me Rick was going to be here?" she demanded.Perplexed, Ella responded with a question of her own. "What do you mean Rick is here?" She placed her hands on her hips for emphasis, furrowing her brows, waiting for her friend to respond. "I saw him earlier. Didn't you say this reunion was solely for our classmates? So why the heck is he here?" Serena's eyes glinted with a hint of distrust, causing a pang of hurt to shoot through Ella's heart. "Wait, you don't think I invited him here, do you? Girl, you know I would never do such a thing," Ella's voice was heavy with disappointment as she looked at Serena. She couldn't believe her friend would think like this

A maid opened the sheer, lacy curtains, the warm morning sunlight poured into the room, casting a golden glow on Serena's face. With a soft groan, Serena shifted her position, turning away from the bright light and seeking a few more moments of peaceful slumber. Just then, the melodic sound of her phone disrupted the tranquility, prompting Serena to grumble as she lazily reached for her phone on the bedside table."Hello," Serena answered, not bothering to check the caller ID, her voice still heavy with drowsiness.Marcus' voice boomed through the phone, "There are maids waiting in your room to prepare you."The sleep vanished from Serena's eyes as she sat up, to see two maids bowing their heads in her room. Her phone still rested against her ear as she spoke, "Why are they here so early? Is there an event?" Serena gaze remained fixed on the maids."Your first day as CEO of Stanford Corporation begins today. Your personal assistant will arrive in five minutes," with those words, Marcus
