The next day. Jenna took her time to dress, when she was ready she started pacing front and back. "Hmmm, your assistant told me you don't want to sell the pen, can you...Ahh no, that won't work!" She shook her head.

" Please, I really need this pen...Ahhh, no," sighed on the couch, absent-mindedly, Kelly was also present in the living room.

'Ding'

" Oh lord," Jenna trembled. She knew what that notification was about. She picked up her phone and checked it " Hello, Miss Jenna. I want to tell you in advance that the boss is now available"

Jenna inhaled and blew out some air from her mouth. It's been eight years, why are you still nervous?

" Just go, stop acting as if you want to confess to your crush," Kelly said.

" You should get over Esteban too," Jenna laughed and stuck out her tongue.

At AH Technology. Jenna hesitated to enter after receiving the word ' come in'. She sighed nervously and finally entered.

" Wow, " she admired the office. Pretending not to care about the latter on the black leather chair.

'Get hold of yourself, Jenna.' she assured herself.

She gathered her courage and finally looked at him, which she regretted immediately!

Eight years have passed, not the same Archie she devised. He's more handsome and very mature. She swallowed, "Good Morning, Mr A-Archie," she greeted and forced a smile.

Archie stared at her in amusement. " Welcome, Miss. I heard you want to see me badly. May I help you?" He decided to play along.

'Badly?' Jenna laughed. " He said you don't want to sell the pen.. please can you sell it to me and make another one?" She finally lowered her pride and pleaded. She will deal with him after getting the pen anyway.

Archie raised a brow " May I know what you want to use it for?"

" For personal use"

Archie chuckled. " When registering for the pen, I must know what my client wants to use it for"

" That's a lie, since when did you care about that" she was annoyed. 'Enough of this game Archie, just give me the pen"

Archie stared at her deeply, making her uncomfortable. She noticed her cleavages were exposed, she flinched and quickly adjusted it.

" Why did you leave?" Archie suddenly asked her. Jenna was surprised.

" Is that even a question?" She laughed bitterly, "You should be married to your mom's best friend's daughter, you used to believe whatever she told you. Please do me a favour by selling the pen to me"

" I knew what happened wasn't your fault" he had investigated it. Someone uploaded a video of Jenna kissing a famous actor. The news was all over the internet. Esteban made sure it disappeared on every platform, but the Hindleys' family had seen it.

Archie's mother went crazy and threatened to divorce her son. When Archie came to the family, Jenna looked at him hopefully. She believed he would trust her, even if the person's features looked so much like hers, but the video was edited.

To her surprise, Archie didn't take a glance at her, he paid full attention to what Eleanor was telling him. Jenna looked at herself in shame and left Hindely's household.

He went to their matrimonial house and packed her things. She signed the divorce papers and placed them on his bed.

Since that day, Jenna disappeared from his life like she never existed. Archie was furious and asked if she was with Esteban or Norman.

They stood up for her and blamed Archie for his foolishness. Archie decided to give her time. Jenna's leaving him helped him a lot. His enemies only attacked him without involving her.

Jenna looked at Archie in confusion "It doesn't matter again, it's already the past, whether you know about the truth or not, it's useless now"

" You don't understand..."

" Archie please...."

" Let me speak!" His deep, authoritative voice suddenly echoed in the office. Startling Jenna. She looked at him in daze. She knew this dangerous voice...

" I knew my mom was up to something. I texted you before I came here. We should play on with them. I also said I will pretend I'm listening to them, do you know what happened when you left?" He frowned in frustration. He hated the fact that she suddenly gave up on him.

Jenna was stunned. She didn't check her phone, "I lost it in the taxi " She lowered her head. " Okay, how is the pen? Will you still sell it for me?"

Archie was stunned. "The pen is more important than me?"

" What do you want me to do? Your mom and mine are enemies, so I can't marry you, Archie"

Archie raised a brow " Really? Is that what you think?" He pressed his lips together and nodded. " The pen will be available tomorrow, and my assistant will collect your details." He said.

" Thanks", Jenna whispered and stood immediately, not daring to take another glance. He met Martinez's sad face at the entrance "Please wait for me outside, Miss Jenna" Jenna nodded thankfully and left.

Martinez looked at Archie's dark face and sighed. " You can't sort things out that way, she's a lady, let her go think about it", he reassured.

" Register her name, It will take a day to download her details."

Martinez nodded and left. Jenna smiled as soon as he came out, but faded when she smelled cigarettes on him. 'Archie is smoking again?'

Seeing her confused expression. " He's back to his other self, well, he's in a good mood today, he even refused to kill, just buried him alive before coming to see you"

Jenna froze. " He what?" She asked in disbelief.

Martinez laughed in amusement. " Let me tell you something Miss Jenna, he has always liked that, even before he met you. It was when you married him that he stopped"

" Ehn? You mean you misunderstood him?" Kelly asked, surprised, she couldn't believe Jenna was the stupid one. " You just wasted eight years on your own foolish action"

Jenna glared at her " Archie's father was the reason why all these happened. He said Archie has many enemies, and they are all waiting for him at his weakest state. His mother made it clear she will never accept me. I have gone through a lot in our marriage; he married me secretly without her notice. When will that one end?"

Kelly laughed, is that even an excuse?

She sat beside her friend and held her hands " I don't blame you, it happened because you have no one to advise you. Both of you are at fault, he is a man, for him to voice out...he still loves you" She smiled and wiped Jenna's tears.

" Hehehe, it is rare for the tough Jenna to shed tears, I understand your love life isn't easy. No relationship is perfect. You are lucky your partner loves you back. Only his mother is the devil, unlike me" she laughed bitterly. Esteban never liked her from the beginning, but she will never give up.

Jenna snatched Archie from someone, and then she will also snatch Esteban from the fear of loving another woman. She understood his first love was shot in front of him and died in his hand, but that was then, he needed someone to stand by his side and make him happy.

" But your mom isn't against your relationship with Archie, right?"

Jenna shook her head."She didn't mind, I loved him and hate him suffer, but his mother is just too much, she changed the maids in our house to her spies"

" I will also put that in my book, you should handle that part," and Kelly leaned closer to her, "I heard Archie is not on good terms with his mother, why don't you take the advantage of that?"

Jenna chuckled and nodded. "What? Don't you want your man back?"

Jenna paused for a moment. Well, Israel was the one who insisted on staying hidden, for the sake of her kids. Then she nodded. But what if what she said today changed his mind?

" Overthinking won't promote your relationship" Kelly cleared her throat.

" If you want him back, do anything it takes to stand by his side. You have no problem, he loves you, his grandparents care for you, even his dad has been sponsoring your daughter since you gave birth to her, that's enough" She patted her shoulder. " You're lucky you get him easily..." She paused.

Jenna scoffed, " To be honest I'm tired of hearing that, I will help you improve your relationship, but are you sure you want to do this?" Esteban is another dangerous person no one will dare to mess with. Kelly nodded without hesitation. " Despite the danger around him?" Jenna asked again. Just want to let her know what she's getting herself into.

" I love him, Jenna, and I will do anything to get him. Looks like what you did to get Archie..."

" Ahh, it's okay, why did you keep reminding me that?" she rolled her eyes. Then gasped. " Is that what motivated you to chase Esteban?" She looked at her in horror, feeling guilty at the same time.

" No Jenna, I've already planned this before we met, you're just an opportunity to make it easier. I have once made the mistake, I will never let it repeat itself," Kelly said. She failed to chase the man she wanted, he's now married to her ex-friend. " I remembered how I used to tell her about my feelings for him, who knows she will later confess to him in secret"

Jenna clapped her hands "Okay, let's start these love games and get these men!" Kelly giggled, " ok ok ok, text his assistant you want to see him tomorrow."

At night. After taking her bath, wearing her nightwear, " haaaaa" she yawned tiredly and lay on the bed. She brought out her phone and dialled her daughter's number.

"Darling," Jenna smiled as Alan's face appeared on the screen "Hi, mommy", she said happily.

"How's your first day in Paris?" she asked. The next moment, a piercing voice echoed in the room ", Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Jenna made sure she put the phone away, protecting her ears.

"I love it!, There are many, many tall buildings and trees, Mom, you should come to Paris to see what I'm seeing, Uncle Esteban and Norman are spoiling me here. Today, I hang out with rich foreigners, we bought so many things like cakes, ice creams, wines, snacks, and so many things, don't worry, I wear a mask, no one recognises me" Jenna sighed and tried to stay awake for the talking machine.

"Alan, that's awesome, just focus on the reason why you are there and don't stress your godfathers, okay?" She said, Alan smiled and nodded, "Chat you later, momma" She quickly disconnected the line.

Jenna shook her head and dialled another number. The person picked up, didn't speak. Jenna chuckled, "How are you doing?" she asked. She knew why the man refused to see her; he intentionally avoided her.

Norman paused for some seconds and replied "Good"

" Have you been keeping in touch with Adan?" Norman is like a father to him. He raised him. Esteban was the one who helped her raise Adain. She raised Alan herself.

Norman raised a brow "Is that why you called me?" Norman anger suddenly stirred up, Jenna quickly sat up " No, I'm worried about you Norman, I haven't see you for a year but I knew you're not on any business trip" She confessed, Jenna was aware of Norman's feeling for for her and she wish Norman would move on and meet the person that will love him.

"Let's meet next week" he said plainly. Jenna smiled happily "Really?, I would love to see you again, Norman" Norman used to treat her like a princess, unlike Esteban, who liked to bully her but still protected her.

Norman closed his eyes as Jenna's sweet voice kept ringing in his head. He had hung up the line, but still wanted to hear more and more. After so many years of not seeing her, he had only seen her for a month last year before he started avoiding her. What if he couldn't control himself?

Jenna dialled Adian's number but couldn't reach him. She sighed, " he must be up to something again," and finally dialled Adan's number after several rings.

"Mom," a low and authoritative voice came through. Jenna laughed she couldn't help but imagine his expression right now. "You are becoming more and more like your Father, " she teased, but Adan maintained his silence as a response.

"What should I do with your stalkers?" he asked. Jenna's heart jumped. " Ehnn? Don't..." she paused, speechless. She suddenly felt sorry for them. Adan's way of dealing with enemies is scary and predictable.

They were following her car, on her way to Archie's company. Thank God Adan's men are secretly following her car too. They crossed the stalker's car and abducted them.

"Who are these people and why are they stalking me?"

" They aren't Sen Partick people" he replied. Jenna frowned in confusion, she had no idea who they were working for. Sen Patrick is the only person she offended.

"Your husband's people stopped disturbing my computers, they're up to something"

Jenna laughed, touched. "I'm safe now, okay?" she paused. " I will be moving back to your father's house soon"

"What do you think?" She asked. She understood that if Adan refused to move with her, Adan's identity isn't simple and must be hidden in the business world. He's just like a president on his own.

"Good" he replied.

" Don't worry much okay? There's something he's doing that I don't like; he has switched to his dangerous self. I thought he had let it go, but who knows, it's always following him around." she complained. " Well, I'm planning to stay by his side no matter what"

Adan remained silent, listening to his mother's voice.

"And Adan, don't kill them", she warned. She knew him so well; compared to Adian, his brother, Adan is quiet and difficult to understand.

"Noted," Adan replied and ended the call. Nothing to worry about, Mr Patrick hasn't attacked Jenna yet, he didn't even have his time.

The next day, Jenna went to Archie's company very early. He met Martinez's confused face and asked, " What is it?"

Martinez hid the files in his hand and looked at Jenna with surprise " Good morning, Miss Jenna, are you sure of the message you sent me yesterday?"

Jenna smiled and nodded. " Office?"

" Yes, sure", he said and watched her back in amusement.

Jenna was about to knock, but it opened itself. 'Automatic,' she murmured and entered.

There he was, the moody figure sitting tiredly on a big leather chair. He had two of his shirt buttons open. Cigarette in his mouth, smokes oozing out from it, creating a sexy view.

Jenna sighed and walked toward him "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to meet..." Jenna removed the cigarette from his mouth and threw it in the trash can. Archie raised a brow, watching her.

Jenna lifted the hem of her gown and sat on his lap, facing him, each of her legs by his side.

"I thought you wanted to buy a pen?" He smirked.

Jenna wrapped her hands around his neck and looked at his silver eyes. She heard Eleanor had booked the most expensive wedding dress in Kelly's shop, claiming Archie is her soon-to-be husband.

" The eight-year disappearance isn't my idea", she confessed.

Archie only stared at her lips. He knew his father had bought her a ticket to China eight years ago. Israel has a friend who is good at material skills, only his place is safe for Jenna.

" I'm afraid you won't tolerate me talking back to your mom," she added, creasing his hair. 'Oh, finally, I successfully own this dangerous man from today, well he is always mine' she thought and smiled as she played happily with his hair.

Archie caught her hands and sat up, looking deeply at her with ocean blue eyes "What makes you suddenly change your mind? What are you up to?"

Jenna smiled faded " You still don't trust me?" She asked. What's wrong with falling for him and wanting him? Jenna faked anger and prepared to stand.

Archie held her shoulder down, and then, their lips locked. Jenna was stunned, she didn't expect that. Before she knew it Archie's hands had cupped her cleavages, giving them nice messages.

Archie groaned sexily and deepened the kiss; he sucked her tongue, devoured her mouth. Jenna tried to meet up with him, but he's faster.

Before she knew it, his hands had slid under her gown, creasing her lap. He placed his wet mouth on her neck. Sucking it. She has successfully made him lose control.

" Ahhhh," she moaned softly, one of Archie's hands was on her inner thigh, while the other was creasing one of her naked breasts.

" Emmm...wait.. Archie, someone is knocking" she tried to pull away, but Archie didn't let go. The door is automatic, what if it suddenly opens?

"Archie...ahh..ahh...wait.."

' Door open' the door announced. Jenna's eyes widened in horror as the door opened.

Jenna quickly covered her face with her hands, while Archie turned the chair, backing the person. The chair is big enough to hide Jenna's half-naked body.

"What did you want?" Archie asked coldly. He doesn't need to guess to know who entered.

Martinez blinked in disbelief, what just happened? " Maybe I should come back"

" Speak," he said.

" No... Please not now! Come back" Jenna voiced out. She is buried on Archie's chest. Embarrassed. She knew Archie was intentionally messing with her.

" Wait outside," he said. After hearing the sound of the closed door. Jenna looked at him in annoyance "The door used to listen to you, why did it open itself?"

" It opened for Martinez," he said. He slid his hands under her gown. Jenna yanked his hand away. " I will wait for you in your room"

Archie trapped her legs with her arms and stood up, Jenna hugged his neck tight. He's very tall, it won't do her any good if she falls.

Archie kept staring at her eyes " You've been working with my family for years. I knew my father was hiding something from other major families," he said.

The Major families are very important in the business world, there are only eight major families in the county, numbered by their power and wealth. The Hindley family is number one.

Jenna sighed and hugged him instead. She suddenly felt guilty for leaving him without warning. She felt bad.

Archie chuckled and walked to the room, connected to his office.

He placed Jenna on his bed. Jenna refused to set him free "You don't even bother to look for me, or ask Esteban and Norman about me, today you accepted me easily"

Archie raised a brow " I knew this day would come. Living my life that night was perfect timing, everything that happened was planned by someone, someone who wants to protect you from Hindley's enemies." He explained.

" You people just wasted my time," Jenna shook her head and sighed.

" You're only twenty when we get married," he said. He gave her a quick kiss "Wait here, you can join when you're bored"

" Hmmm," she nodded. He watched Archie adjust his clothes and left.

Jenna looked at the ceiling in daze, ' Everything was planned by someone?'

Archie met Martinez and his secretary in the office.

" What's the update"

" We've checked all the surveillance cameras, including the secret ones, the footage of the incident was deleted" his secretary said, confused.

"What are you trying to tell me?" Archie's eyes narrowed as he asked his Secretary again.

Jake swallowed nervously " Someone broke into and stole the pen, we're supposed to sell it to Miss Jenna today, I don't know who dared to do this" he understood that AH Technology pens are special, but have poor production numbers. But stealing it is very annoying, how are they supposed to explain it to the boss lady?

Martinez sighed and shook his head in disbelief, but that's impossible!

Archie's office door is twice as strong as the doors in the company, a door that is stronger than some presidents' security.

The door was named Anna, a robotic creation Archie designed to guard his office without the need for bodyguards or CCTV. Anna had everything required to alert security, no one could ever sneak past her.

The funniest thing is, this person didn't even hack or destroy the door.... the person entered through the door, which means Anna opened the door by herself for the person after scanning his face!

Archie noticed the pen he had left on his table the previous day was missing. So, he instructed his men to check surveillance cameras.

But Anna recognised Archie's face, it opened the moment Archie approached, she would even say things like "welcome, Mr Archie" and "goodbye, Mr Archie " when he left in the evening, so how come?.

"This is crazy," Martinez laughed in disbelief. Even a ghost won't be able to bypass AH Technology's security. That's his own belief.

Later, Jenna joined them. At first, she was furious that someone had stolen what she had worked so hard for. But when Martinez told her the person bypassed Anna, she swallowed and licked her lips nervously, a wave of guilt washing over her. "What have you done, boy?" she murmured.

"Did you say something?" Martinez asked, Jenna smiled and shook her head.

Martinez found the smile creepy. He could only nod and focused on his iPad, checking the recent DNA scan records that had used this door apart from Archie.

"Do you think someone hacked it?" Jenna asked Jake.

Jake shook his head " We will know if they did, it's shown that the door opened itself for the person after scanning him"

"Ohhh, you mean the person was able to pass through Anna, without your Boss Response.?"

"Yes, and how was that even possible? She scanned the person's face, eyes, emotions, even his DNA, but Boss's nonchalant face was very difficult to mimic," he explained.

"I'm the team leader of the production teams. I was there when the Boss set these passwords. No one can pass unless the boss permits them, or unless their information has already been registered in the system. People like Mr. Martinez and Mr. Israel can enter easily because their identities are already logged." He added.

"Ohhh, that's crazy, "Jenna said, grinning. She already knew the culprit, no matter how many times they investigated, the answer would always be the same, Archie. But the person is not Archie....

Mr Chen, one of his Managers, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He prayed that this was not something that would start a war. Archie has been doing things in low key recently, which is a good thing for the country. Now that someone intentionally stepped on the sleeping Tiger's tail, that's not something that can be solved easily.

Drake, from the production teams came in with newly printed paper that contained the percentages and resemblance of the intruder.

"Ahh, here we go," Jenna sighed.
