At the Martin's Cooperations, Jacob Martin couldn't believe he had just been disrespected, especially by a girl he underestimated. In a fit of rage, he threw everything off his desk and broke anything that was susceptible to being damaged. He checked the time on his watch. He had 50 minutes to come up with a solution, and he knew there was no way to buy out time; the girl was deadly. He was perplexed as to why the girl seemed so icy compared to Zion.

Why did Zion let me have my way? That girl, where did she learn how to do business?


The man made light of his predicament with a hearty laugh. A green hand will be responsible for deciding the future of Martin Cooperations. He began to pace back and forth until the thought occurred to him to contact an attorney for assistance.

Line 2: Hello

Jacob: Edward, I need help within the next half an hour. Can you assist?


Line 2: Only on the condition that you tell me how much harm we're talking about and which family or firm we're dealing with here.

Jacob: So much damage, actually, and it's the Archer Group.


As soon as they heard ‘Archer group,' the person on the other end of the line abruptly terminated the call. It was only Jacob's voice that could be heard yelling ‘Hello' incessantly. No other voices could be heard. After that, he made the decision to contact the attorney for his daughter, but the phone went straight to voicemail. The man began to break out into a furious sweat. When he checked the time, he saw that he only had half an hour left. As soon as he saw that, he sprinted to his vehicle like a madman and drove directly to the M-City correctional facility for female offenders. As soon as he arrived, the first thing he did was ask to see his daughter. While he was waiting for her to arrive, he took a seat. While he waited, time was working against him. He stood up and yelled at the officers who were in charge of bringing his daughter out of the cell where she was being held.

'Sir, she is still trying to apply makeup," Jacob uttered a curse.

You feel the need to apply makeup even when you are confined to your cell. Women!

After some time, Kelly strode in and took a seat, wearing heavy make-up, which even annoyed Jacob more.

'Daddy!" Kelly yelled and tried to hug Jacob, but one of the officers stood in their way and said,

'No hugging and no touching!" Kelly was frustrated because she wanted to give Jacob a hug.

Jacob cast a pleading glance in the direction of the officer who was in charge.

'We were instructed not to provide any form of preferential treatment to your daughter, Sir. She ought to be treated like a criminal in the same manner as any other inmate that is incarcerated here. If you have a problem, you can report it to the state. I am only doing my job." Jacob took a glance at his watch and discovered that he did not have a lot of time left.

'Now pay attention. I am in a difficult situation. That female was successful in getting what she wanted out of me. She was able to uncover a major aspect of the plan I had been working on to execute against the Archer group. I don't know how she found that out, but she did, and I am in deep shit. Any time I bring up the Archer Group in a conversation with a lawyer, they either immediately hang up on me or warn me not to contact them again. Nobody is willing to lend a helping hand. As per our plan, you will get out of here soon. Your attorney has already filed the paperwork for your case, and now it just needs to be heard in court before it can be decided according to our strategy. That is exactly what I intended to convey to you. Because of this, I have no choice but to reveal to that girl what you used to inject Zion because the injection you gave him was so potent that it came dangerously close to killing him. He has been at the hospital for 4 months now, and he has been unconscious. Your informant lied. She didn't shoot him. That injection was meant to just drug him. What dose did you administer to him through the needle?"

Kelly turned her head and shifted her weight closer to her father as she gazed around. 'I, well, whipped it up. With the one that could make him impregnate me."

'You're an idiot. The Archer family had everything planned out. There was simply no possibility that you could have conceived a child. I should have known and you could have chosen a different date to sleep with him, but now we have no choice but to tell them what you gave him."

'I thought you were going to use that plan to get me out of here."

'Well, as you can see, that girl beat me to it. Within the hour, she planned to bring an end to the Martins' empire. So even if you come out, there will be no Martins cooperation. We will be the poorest family in M-City."

After Kelly heard the word poor, she told her father what she had mixed the drug with. There was no way that she would voluntarily come from the family with the lowest income, and there was no way that she would give up wearing luxury clothes. Following that, Jacob checked the time and thought to himself,

I could make her work for this piece of information. It is she who needs to find a way to save her husband, while I need to find a way to save both my daughter and my business.

Little did he know that Maya Archer was one step ahead of him.

When he turned on the radio, all of the news stations were tuned in to hear about an important press conference that was going to be hosted by the Archer Group. Jacob made many attempts to organize his own press conference in an effort to smear the Archer group, but no news organization was interested in attending. Everyone has their sights set on joining the Archer group. Jacob had a sense of defeat.

No one is willing to come to a big fish like me, even when the Archer group is being headed by a rookie. Why do I have the impression that I will have to ask the Archer family for permission to do the simplest things, like breathing? He thought to himself.

As he drove, he heard on the news that the President was coming out. He let out a long, heavy sigh.

So this is how a girl defeated me. I, Jacob Martin, was defeated by a small girl.

He contemplated his own thoughts once again. The man was completely dumbfounded by the news. After that, he retrieved Maya's card from his pocket and dialed her number. Maya's phone was in Lucas's possession. Lucas already knew the number, and he rushed to Maya before he took a stand in front of the photographers.

Maya: Hello Jacob, I was about to do some damage control before I ended your empire. Are you ready to bow before your queen?

Jacob couldn't believe the girl had the nerve to demand that he bow to her in front of everyone.

Jacob: I have what you asked for, but I want everything in writing.

Maya: Of course, you would want everything in writing. At the press conference, I was preoccupied with having a good time. I can't afford to tell these people to leave. Please come to the conference. We will just tell the press that the Archer Group and Martins Cooperation have reached an agreement to work together. What are your thoughts? Both you and I shall sign our names in front of everyone. In this manner, the general people may be won over. You have 10 minutes to get here. I will just be briefing them before you get here.

Maya said that and Jacob hung up the call and drove to the Archer group.

Meanwhile, after the call, Maya smiled devilishly and headed back to her office to retrieve the documents that she had prepared for Jacob the night before her visit to the man. She grinned as she carried the document in her hand.

'I am one step ahead of you Jacob, am one step away to bringing you and your entire family crumbling down and begging for mercy."

Archers stand together

~Maya's POV~

I carried the agreement with me as I walked out of my office, which I had drafted for Jacob Martin earlier. I exited the hallway and entered the conference room. I took my stand and addressed the press. I watched as Jacob Martin arrived and then I went on to announce that Archer Group would now be partnering with Martin Cooperation. The press took pictures. One thing I know is that Joseph will not have the chance to read the document he is signing. As he took the stand next to me, he gave me a piece of paper with an insulin vial. After taking a quick glance at the paper and the vial, I slipped it onto my blazer. It was the amen of the drug Kelly used on my husband. I gave Josepher the agreement and, as expected, he didn't go through the whole document.

Stupid man.

As I saw him sign the document, a grin spread across my face. After the conference, I made a dash for the hospital to find Zion's doctor and handed the piece of paper and the vial to him, despite the fact that I was clueless as to what either of those items was. The doctor hurried into the laboratory and demanded that his colleagues perform some tests on the vail. After a while of waiting, I started to get anxious, so I went to Zion's room and waited there while I explained to him how I had the father and daughter at my mercy without them knowing it. When dealing with people like the Martin family, one needs to resort to underhanded tactics. Who can say for sure that what they injected into my husband is the same thing that they provided to me? I got up and started pacing up and down. The door to the hospital room was flung open to reveal the doctor.

'Lady Archer, I have good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?" Defeated, I sighed, knowing that there was no hope. Can't the universe let me be with my husband?

'Bad news first."

'We are still having no success in determining the source of the drug. It would appear that this was some kind of prohibited drug.

'Good news?"

'The good news is that, even though we are unable to find the manufacturer of the drug, we were able to track some of the known pharmaceuticals. The drug was a combination, so we will be putting him on trial. If everything goes according to plan, Lord Archer should regain consciousness in around a month's time, if not sooner.

'I waited 4 months. I am able to hold off for one more month. When can you start?"

'As soon as you sign this document."

I collected the document from the doctor and I went through each page and signed it. After the doctor had left, I gave Zion a kiss and then briefed him on the issue. Oh, how I hoped he could hear me. Wait, if his cock is responsive, that could also mean that he could hear me and feel my presence, right? I try to push the thought out of my mind. I mean, there is no way that he could hear me. I checked my time and noticed it was time to breastfeed my kids. I gave Zion one last peck on the cheek before turning around to go home.

3 months later,

As I toss and turn in bed, desperately trying to avoid waking up, the light that comes in through the window warms my face. Still, I can't keep my eyes open. I couldn't help but grin when I felt that I wasn't sleeping alone and that there were actually three adorable children in the bed with me. I carefully stretch out my arms and legs, not wanting to accidentally kick them. The three souls were waiting for me to wake up. I slowly opened my eyes, and three of the most beautiful beings in the world met me as I emerged from my slumber. As they wriggled over the bed, chasing each other, I grinned and lifted each of them one at a time, planting a kiss on each of their heads before setting them back down. The most amazing sensation ever. I looked at my children crawling and tears escaped my eyes as I thought of my husband, who was still in the hospital fighting for his life.

Zion, you have missed so much in our children's lives. I wouldn't want you to miss them as they took their first steps. I said my prayers in private.

A month ago, I decided to quit breastfeeding. Grandma urged that I take a break because I was overworking myself by managing Archer Group and traveling back and forth between the two locations. I wouldn't wish to be the president of any company that trusted me. I used to believe that the presidents of companies did nothing more than sit there and sign documents, but now I know better. They put in the most effort out of everyone else. Lucas has been doing a good job keeping the Archer group in J-city under control recently. I decided to send him there while I work in M-city because I wanted to be close to my family and keep an eye on my husband on a daily basis.

Today is Kelly's court case.

The fact that Kelly isn't pregnant is both a source of relief and a source of some anxiety because we still don't know what Zion was given on that particular day. I watch my kids play and stain my bed. Ghosh, they are adorable in every way. But I'm never having kids again. I will just be devouring cock without making any more kids. After taking a shower in the bathroom, changing into my clothes, and going to the kitchen to cook something to eat, I saw that Emma was already in the process of preparing breakfast. When I heard her groaning and grunting the other day as I was walking by the room where my father was sleeping, I couldn't help but crack a grin at her. It would appear that the men of Archer have a lot of stamina when it comes to sexual activities. It took a long time for them to get used to each other, but they are now married. Even though it's not a white wedding, I can now officially call Emma Mom. Yes, I had been contemplating calling her mother for a very considerable amount of time.

'Good Morning, Mother." She blushed and greeted me back as she placed a plate of food in front of me. 'Where is Sophia?" I asked. Sophia was the one who made the discovery that Jacob Martin was the one who was attempting to grab an ownership stake in our company. She informed me that Zion was the one who taught her everything she knows about hacking. Which, to this day, it continues to concern me that if Zion taught Sophia how to hack, it means that he was aware of all of Jacob's criminal acts yet chose to leave the man regardless of the situation. Well, maybe he had a plan. I took my bag and took a few steps while heading out, and I was about to head out when I saw my family all dressed.

'Sophia is in her room. She is getting super lazy these days." Emma answered.

'Where are you guys going?"

'To the court!" They all said. I smiled, knowing that they would be all by my side when I get rid of Kelly, and there is more. Martin's cooperation is no more, but Jacob doesn't know that he has been working for me all this while. However, this is the day when he will learn that Maya Archer is the owner of Martin's cooperations. Call me greedy, but those people deserve the worst.
