Archer took the flight of stairs three at a time, driven by instinct. Something pulled him to hurry up as he carried Oscar's briefcase. He didn't know what, but he just felt the need to find out what he's still doing inside while he has been waiting for him at the garage.Oscar told him to wait for him as early as six o'clock in the morning because they had an important meeting. He called him after waiting for fifteen minutes without getting a glimpse of him. When there was no response, he decided to go into the mansion, hoping to at least see Natalie.When he stepped into the living room and found no one there, he walked to the bedroom door and was about tapping on the door when he found out that it was slightly open. It looked as though the last person that used the door had jammed it in a way that it didn't close properly. He pushed the door halfway and his eyes almost popped out of its sockets at what he saw. He didn't think twice before he ran into the room and started pulling O

Tired of standing and walking around the bedroom, she sank into the single couch by the foot of the bed and stretched out her legs. She almost forgot that Stephanie hasn't always been a part of her life.They met in the store where she went shopping for her prom dress. Aria was there and they had got acquainted with her and her twin brothers. Aria invited them to her send-off party.When Aria left, Stephanie filled up the vacant seat with her easy-going attitude. Honestly, Natalie never missed Aria for once because Stephanie was just there. They went to the same grad school and spent a lot of time together until she was claimed.Stephanie is engaged to her brother's business associate and best friend, Spencer Robert. The two live together, and Natalie had visited her countless times before Oscar told her to stop leaving the house without taking permission.She had to just stop leaving at all because he would send four guards and a driver to go with her. That's not the kind of freedom

Archer stared at the structure of Georges Furniture, thinking about the great efforts of the formal controllers of the wealth accumulated over making the best home appliances with the right wood, materials, resources and hardwork.They built massive wealth and had taken over accordingly, openly and honestly. He understood then that the Jezebel in the Bible, the wife of king Ahab, reincarnated or she probably has more descendants than the Bible taught and was made to believe.He had been standing at the street corner, watching two upcoming street artists perform by the walkway. Before the performance ended, it was darker and that was when he came to stand in front of the company, sure that no one would make out his face in the dark.He opened the bag and fetched the black overall, then wore it. He zipped up the front of the overall, kicked his sandals off and pushed his legs into the red boots, wore the hand gloves and masked his face with a masquerade face shield. He tied the dagger

When Diane saw the young man that exchanged words with the guards as she was coming out from Julius Chambers where she had gone to announce that dinner was served, she observed that he was coming out from the cottage.The estate was so lit that even lizards could be seen creeping up any wall. The only dark insignificant place is the boathouse and its surroundings which includes partly the cottage. The first person that came to mind was Natalie. If he was someone sent by Oscar or his mother, then Natalie would be in danger if she wasn't already.Diane was already close to the cottage before she remembered that Archer had left the house, prepared for a mission that she can't fathom. What if the man had brought news about him? Was he dead?Her heartbreak increased as she doubled her pace, half running into the house until she collided with Archer's door and the door swung in, she almost slipped on the blood on the floor, but she caught herself with the door."What happened? Archer!" She

Natalie hesitated before she walked through the pocket doors, simply because her mind was preoccupied with clustering reasons why Angelika would call her into the library that seems so special to the men.As she turned the lights on and filled her eyes with the contents of the room, she didn't miss the details. She closed the door behind her and walked further into the room.The room was lined with books, floor to ceiling, on all four walls. With the shelves added, there was only room for a comfortably plump chair and hassock in the center of the floor, with a small table and floor lamp beside them.There was another table, bigger and older, and a porch beside the window. On the table were so many documents covered in dust and the moonlight casted shadows on them through the small and open window. There was a new file on the table as well and a reading light.The library was perfect and marvelous, but what really caught her attention wasn't in the library because there's nothing perf
