Keenan, recovering quickly, retorted, "Isn't it ironic? You're here with a man who's always wanted you in his bed." Archer intervened, his voice filled with sincerity, "I wish she had chosen me over you. Any man would go to great lengths to have her as his wife." I resisted the urge to look at him, fearing the intensity of emotion I might find in his eyes. Just as Keenan was about to retort, something I anticipated with dread, Archer's hand wrapped around my arm, gently leading me away from the confrontation and effectively cutting off any chance for Keenan to respond. "Wait for the main event, sweetheart," Archer whispered into my ear, his words hinting at something planned.

Jake hesitated, glancing at Archie, now unconscious on the ground. “Jake!” Farah screamed again. Though confused, he climbed into the car, casting one last look at Archie, who was now being helped by Tandre.

Once I was safely in the back seat and the car began to pull away from the curb, I pulled out my phone. “Archer... breakfast is on the table. My mom just texted, she’s almost at my apartment. I grabbed a ride so you wouldn't be late. See you later.” I hit send and leaned my head against the cool glass of the window. My eyes blurred. I bit my lip until it hurt, refusing to let the first tear fall until I was behind my own locked door. *** Back at the penthouse, Archer stepped out of the steam, drying himself off. He dressed for the office in his usual charcoal suit, looking every bit the high-powered manager. He walked into the living area, glancing around.

King Archer announced as everyone gasped. @pop precious

“No one must know of this, Archer. It could be dangerous for you, and for the Kingdom.” “I know, Maddy. I have instructed the council to not let anyone know about my absence. They shall tell anyone who asks that I am merely grieving for the King’s death and preparing for my wedding. The only people who know are the Elders, Lady Cecily, you and Agatha. I should hope it remains that way.” “It will, as long as everyone who knows is careful. Should you get recognized, Archer, promise me that you will not admit to anyone who you are. It could be your peril.

Archer said pushing Jason away "No no baby.. baby Jason , we're going to make babies tonight right?" Archer started to pull me away from Jason.. My eyes stuck on Jason "You're not making babies with him Calla" That's what I heard before I pass out

"Yeah. Going mad over a man they haven't seen just yet. I don't want them to know I talked with Archer or they'd hound me to death." "Archer?" "I thought you weren't interested?" Anna moved her eyebrows up and down with a teasing smile on her lips. Selah rolled her eyes. She's not that interested. But the mention of the man's unique name somehow piqued her curiosity. "Well, yes. Archer Evans. The man who can definitely pierce you with his eyes. A literal archer. And he lives with Mrs. Terry's bungalow." Exaggeration, perhaps. That's how Selah saw it. "Morning classes are about to start. Let's walk faster."

The public nature of our encounter and the abrupt end left me feeling exposed and ashamed. I should have known better than to let things escalate like that in such a public place. I went home immediately after everything. The quiet of my room felt jarring, a stark contrast to the chaos of the day.

Then, a headline stopped me cold: “Archer Ellington Joins Alpha Drake’s Team—From Rags to Riches.” My breath caught. “What is this?” I muttered to myself, scanning the article. It discussed Archer’s potential role as Beta of the Madsun Pack. The opportunity was massive—almost too good to pass up.

IRIS I blink up at Archer, stunned, not because he’s here, but because of the sheer audacity it must’ve taken to walk over to this table and open his mouth. He’s still standing stiffly at the edge of the booth, arms crossed like some righteous ex-boyfriend delivering divine judgment. “You’re unbelievable,” he says, his voice low but sharp. “It’s only been what? A month? And here you are, flaunting yourself around with McAlister of all people?”

"Seriously, how pitiful can you get? It's obvious Zach likes Jessica more. It's all Annie's fault for not letting him go and making everyone's life a misery." The emcee's voice rang. "Do you take Annie Carter…uh…do you take Jessica Baker as your wife? No matter sickness or health, for richer or poorer…" Zach cut in before he could finish. "I do." Onstage, Jessica was looking at me. She had received my mother's corneas… And now, she was looking at me with that conceited look. A wicked princess and a false knight. How disgusting. The so-called fake wedding didn't show signs of stopping. They even started toasting the guests. While Zach was busy toasting, Jessica shoved through the crowd to com
