Chapter forty nine

"I know about that but Sakuzi has been laying low, waiting patiently for this moment and God has finally answered his prayers."
But Liam tilts his head to the side, a look if doubt on his face, "what if you are mistaken and all this is just but a coincidence?"
Eden then throws his head back and gave a hearty laugh, "Thats the problem, Liam, I don't believe in coincidence but in causes and effects! Just like now," he said and his darkened scaring the hell out if Liam.
Liam feeling something was not quite right instinctively took a step back and was about to flee when muglffled crack of thunder filped the room as a figure came out Flfrom under Eden's desk and pulled the trigger once... twice... thrice until he fell to the ground.
The room was enveloped in a cloud of smoke which soon cleared away, revealing a figure which had the same face as that of Liam lying on the ground in his own pool of blood.
"I told you the barrel is threaded for a suppressor, and would work just fine," said the original Liam blowing smoke from the end of Bereta M9A3 barrel.
Eden ignored him and walked towards the fake Liam convulsing rythmically on the ground and squatted down beside him, "I told you I don't believe in coincidence but the cause and effects; you trying to fool me is the cause and me ending you is the effect."
Eden then moved to the fake Liam's neck and pulled off the fleshy mask, revealing a different face beneath it, "this is your real face, isn't it?" He said scrutinizing his features, " tsk, tsk, what and eyesore."
"Clear the body, that face can give me nightmares for ages," Eden stood on his feet and commanded Liam who didn't look so shocked.
"Why do you think Sakuzi sent him if he didn't want to assassinate you?" Asked Liam curiously, eyes still fixed on the corpse resting in the middle if the room.
A smirk curled up Eden's lips, "he never wanted to hurt me in the first place, it was just a welcome gift," his eyes twinkled, " I wonder what gift he sent to my dear cousin Archer."

Kim looked left and right before climbing to the leather seat besides her. The car was parked at the entrance of an abandoned, away from prying eyes.
"Why did you ask to see more?" Kim asked the lady who turned to face her with an unreadable expression on her face.
"You should have known by now why I requested this meeting, Kimberly," Tina said, calling Kim by her full name and flashed her usual killer smile, "cause you are a very smart woman."
"What would a socialite like you possibly require from a commoner like me?" Kim acted coy but inwardly she was delirious with joy.
Though Debra Group wasn't a conglomerate like the Archer Group but the girl has family members in diverse high ranking government positions. If she could befriend her, it would benefit her family and company alot.
Tina sneered inwardly, she could already tell what this idiot was thinking- but who cares if she gets what she wants.
"I am sure you heard the news," she told Kim who in turn nodded her head. Of course how could she not, everybody in the socialite curcle had seen and knows the truth even though the comlmmon people might see it as just a public stunt.
"It seems my dear sister has bit more than she can chew and awoken the sleeping giant in the process," Kim said to Tina who looked entirely pleased at her bootlicking.
"Then what do you suggest you do?" Tina asked, albeit a test she set in purpose.
A malevolent smile appeared in Kim's face, "Of course cut off her claws, but then..." She hesitated, a frown wrinkling her forehead, "you can't take away a cub infront of her mother."
Tina perfectly understood what she was implying, as far as Archer still cherishes and protects the girl, there was little to nothing they could do to her.
Tina breathed in deeply, "don't worry about Archer, I have my own of dealing with him. So you should focus on you task," She said and brought out a cheque before inscribing some numerical figures and handed it to Kim.
"I believe Archer's tantrum must have caused some setback on your side, so take this and recuperate and I believe we have a deal already."
" Of course," Kim smiled accepting the cheque, " an enemy of an enemy us a friend."
Revenge Is Best Served Bitter.
Note: Steamy scenes ahead.
Maya's POV
It seems I have failed to understand Archer once more, cause this man wasn't absolutely kidding when he said he was going to give me a massage.
"Archer," I gasped when he kissed my neck, sending delicious shivers down my spine.
"Sshhh, stay back and enjoy," he whispered against my skin and began to nibble at that sensitive spot between my neck and shoulder sending a whirlpool of pleasures surging through my veins.
My heart stepped up pace and I find myself arching to meet him but he pushed me back before his lips came down hard on mine. I surrendered to him passionately and thought I had actually gone to heaven and returned.
Suddenly his hands slipped under my shirt and my eyes snapped at once and began it's questioning.
"W-what are you-"
"The massage remember!" He said with his usual dry, wicked smile with twinkling eyes that spoke if expectation.
Almost immediately, his hands began to caress my stomach while his lips started down my neck and I thought I was going to due from the intense pleasure rocking my body.
"Archer," I moaned but he ignored me and instead began to work on the muscles on my back and God, that felt really good.
He would gently massage the muscles on my back and sides while tactically letting his fingers brush across my bossoms teasing me in the process, but reality always know how to break the spell .
I screamed and hid beneath Archer's body when the door was suddenly opened through a space in Archer's embrace saw Izzy freeze in the doorstep and next we knew, she hightailed out of the room.
I stared at Archer shocked, "you didn't lock the door?"
"I thought I did but I guess I was much distracted than I thought," came his absentminded answer cause his eyes were fixed somewhere else, my bossoms.
Exasperated, I pushed him away and he fell back on the bed with a wry smile on his lips .
"I am serious here Archer, we must have traumatized the poor girl," I insisted and climbed out of the bed while straightening my wrinkled clothes and dishevelled hair .
But contrary to my expections, Archer burst into a long, hard and scorning laughter that made my frown deepen into a huge scowl.
I wrapped my hands a roos my chest, "what's so funny?"
"No," but humour wouldn't let him because he burst into another round of laughter untill I grabbed the nearest pillow and hit him with it.
"I am serious here Archer," I said sternly but nothing happened, he was still laughing gard while holding his stomach.
Vexed, I lifted the pillow and was about to hit him with it again when he suddenly grabbed my hand and tugged me towards him and I fell into his open arms.
"It would sound more convincing if you told me Izzy was giving birth than being traumatized," he said, his burning gaze boring into mine while his hands on my waist wandering aimlessly.
"She's just a kid, Archer," I murmured, my eyes fixed on his face and I gulped because I was currently kneeling on either sides of his laps on the bed, while my arms were wrapped around his neck to keep myself from falling.
"She's more than a kid," he countered, pressing me further against his body.
"We did something inappropriate infront of her and we're going downstairs and apologize to her straight away," I insisted, resisting the urge to surrender to the warmth if his arms on my body.
He said nochalantly, "it's not my gmfault she banged into my room and saw something-"
" She wouldn't have seen if the door was properly closed," I interjected and pressed my lips firmly together against his as he tried to gain entrance.
He chuckled but I knew I just excited him more cause Archer was someone who derives satisfaction from a good challenge.
"That still doesn't move me," he said and his hands moved to the inside of my thigh and my breathe hitched, this guy!
Our eyes met and held, he knew what he was doing to me and it was slowly becoming a game to him. In my side, the closeness of his chest and the feel of his thigh against my skin was making my heart go pit-a-pat.
"You are going to drag your ass downstairs and we are going to apologize to our daughter," I hissed at him, hoping I appeared as ferocious as I imagined in my head.
He raised a brow, "our daughter?" His lips curled up, "I like the sound of that cause it makes me wonder how many more daughters we could make," he said as his hands moved further up my thighs.
I gasped, my hand unconsciously tightening around his neck, "Archer, stop fooling around else-"
"Else what?" He challenged.
" Else, I won't let you near me for a week," came my reply which wasn't one hell convincing at all.
"Really? Is that a threat?" There was an excited gleam in his eyes, and I swallowed, what have I gotten myself into?
"Ye-" I was about to say when his hands moved further up and rubbed that sensitive spot below, tilting the linen blocking his entrance to the side.
I slumped against his chest the moment the intense pleasure rippled through me while my breathe came in gasps as his fingers continued to move down below.
