Chapter 5

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.

Chapter 6

Somewhere in the country.

"Don't tell me my men suddenly disappeared without any traces?" Jude, one of the five men in Joshua's office, snapped in annoyance. Joshua, of course, was the head of the meeting.

The others with him were Archie, Norman, and Esteban's enemies.

"Yes, boss. We don't know who it could be, but we're sure it's not Archie or Esteban," one of Jude's men reported. He had managed to escape the abduction, though badly injured. It almost felt like they were deliberately spared, just to send their boss this message.

Jude stared at the rest in disbelief. Five of his men are gone. They are the men he personally assigned to stalk Jenna. And now, someone suddenly kidnapped them, leaving two injured survivors to warn him. Just how powerful was this person, to have that kind of confidence?

"That's exactly what I'm telling you, Joshua" another person spoke, his name is Kaseem. "A big problem is coming"

"It means there's someone even more powerful and scarier than Archie." Kaseem banged the table. "I'm telling you," he added.

Joshua swallowed his saliva. "That can't be..." he muttered. Ever since Israel had retired, Archie and his closest allies had been a constant thorn in his side. Adding another unknown player into the mix would be nothing short of suicide.

"That's not what we should be worrying about," William said. "We should be worrying if Archie has a hidden child." Joshua glanced at William coldly. "What secret child?"

William burst into laughter. "Yo, I'm kidding."

The others exhaled in relief, but Joshua isn't buying it. What if Jenna were pregnant back then?

He suddenly remembered the brief glimpse of a figure at the president's birthday party. He couldn't see the face, but he'd felt the deadly chill, the overwhelming aura radiating from that young boy. Dressed in white. His style was almost like Archie himself. Could it really be a coincidence?

Because, is not possible for a kid to carry that kind of aura. Maybe he was just overthinking.

But then there was Rapunzel00...the mysterious agent who infiltrated his father's security systems with ease, slipping in and out like a ghost. She would've been the perfect agent to deal with Archie. But she had vanished without any traces. Some said she had retired. Why on earth would she do that, when he needed her most?

" Please, who is this person?" Jude finally asked. His voice cracked with urgency, his cousin was among the missing men for goodness' sake! How will he explain this to the boy's father?

"I asked my father, he said he's the CEO of Smart Toys company," Joshua explained. "My father's men dug up that information... but then..... they vanished."

Jude adjusted his chair and glanced at William. "We're doomed"

Since then, Mr. Patrick has been doubling securities. Many soldiers followed him around, everywhere he went, as old and dangerous as Sen Patrick is, he was nervous to face this person! Some people are just born to scare others.

"If we can get this person on our side, it'll be easy to destroy Archie, Esteban, and Norman at once," Kaseem suggested. The rest nodded quickly in agreement.

But Joshua's mind kept pacing back to that figure he'd seen that night. "No" he shook his head. If it was really him, then things were about to get out of his control.

"This person already teamed up with Rapunzel00! And I'm very sure he's the reason why we are unable to track her" Jude hissed. "I just want to scare him by kidnapping her, so he can side with us. Who knows he's even crazier and smarter than us!"

The thought of his fellow CEO, from another company, suddenly becoming a mystery to other CEOs, even the powerful CEOs like Sen Patrick and his son is nervous. This made his blood boil, Jude wanted to be in that position too, and that was the reason why he hated Esteban! He wants to remove him from the big boss of Entertainment!

"What if Archie managed to reach him first, and forge an alliance?" Jude mumbled. Archie will be difficult to bring down and become unstoppable.

"About Archie's wife..." David, who had been quietly typing on his laptop, finally spoke, turning his toward Joshua. "I don't know where Archie's father took Jenna eight years ago," he said.

Joshua feared that man too much to even think of hurting Jenna, because he knew Israel favoured her so much.

Even Sen Patrick, secretly feared him. His greatest nightmare was to ever cross paths with that man. So, living Israel out of their plan is what Joshua took seriously. Archie is whom he wants to take down.

" Ok, what's the plan, we must do something on his award celebration day!" Jude frowned. He hated the way his friends were handling things! " Don't tell me y'all afraid of Archie?"

Kaseem burst into laughter. " I can't believe you hated me and want us to die early! Jude"

" What's wrong with you, ehh Jude?" David looked at him in disbelief.

" I don't know where you got the confidence to attack the Hindleys in their household. Don't you know that, they have many dark secrets? If they decide to kill you and seize your body, no one will question them." Kaseem raised a brow, and the rest nodded. There was something about them that made people feel small, intimidated and nervous.

"Scientists have been investigating them for years, but found nothing," William laughed.

Jude shook his head, disappointed "It's just an award ceremony, we will act as if we are happy. I will find someone to take the blame if...."

" I am not! interested!" Kaseem dramatically raised his two hands.

" For real? Kaseem"

David rolled his eyes. "What did you expect him to say?" he mocked. Although, He hated the way people overhyped that family, he's not confident enough to follow whatever Jude was planning.

" The eight major families will be there" William reminded him.

"Don't you know that Hindely's family secret is deeper than the ocean?" Kaseem said. " You don't know because your family is a small entertainment industry, you will know much About Hindely's if you are in Esteban's position" he added.

Jude glared at him, he just rubbed salt on his wound, losing the 'Big Boss' title to Esteban is a huge blow, making him a joke to his family. Only when he snatches it back will he be the pride of his family.

"Humph! As if they're the only ones in this," Williams cut in. "The Wilson children are always stealing another person's face with positive DNA.

"Doppelgängers," David corrected.

"Who cares!" Jude sneered. The Wilsons are popularly known as having blonde hair, no matter whose face they wore. That alone was strange.

"That's nothing new," Joshua said. "They grow old, sick, and sleep like everyone else. It's just a gift." The Wilsons' Family case was one of the world's biggest coincidences, happening since the 80s. Nothing much.

"Yeah, I know," Jude muttered, "but it's still creepy. I once met a man in Korea who looked exactly like me."

"It's normal" Joshua said calmly.

"What about witches?" Kaseem laughed. "Oh, you mean the long-haired witches? Rapunzels?" Jude snorted.

" The Sharons," Joshua corrected. "That's Jenna's family from her mother's side. They all had ridiculously long hair. Nothing special."

"You think Rapunzel Pink is from that family?" Jude asked. Joshua's eyes narrowed. " I'm one hundred per cent sure"

" Just wondering if she's Rapunzel00" Kaseem said. David glanced at him coldly, making him wonder why he was mad at him.

Joshua frowned and faced Jude's bodyguard. " Where did you that the accident happened?"

The boy tried to remember the location but, he couldn't... " I think her driver had noticed us earlier than we thought....I..."

" useless!" Jude spat in disgust. "About my plan...."

"Alright, that's enough for today," Joshua cut Jude off. He didn't understand why he was so hellbent cause trouble under the Hindleys' noses.

Jude nodded in understanding ' Why am I even telling them? I will do it myself!'

Chapter 7

Back in the AHT company.

It's almost one hour, and they haven't figured out who the intruder is.

"How many per cent does he need for Anna to open by itself? " Jenna asked Martinez.

Martinez paused for a moment and he replied " As the boss carries 100% the person must be at least 80 to 90%, the most important thing is the face, once the face scan is complete, any other things are not really important"

"But that's not even possible, even Mr Israel is 70 per cent and his younger brother is 65 per cent resemblance, except if the boss has an identical twin brother," he added, he collected the A4 papers from Drake, checked them and laughed, he gave the remaining copies to Archie.

Archie's face changed in disbelief" Not possible " he said.

"Impossible, " Martinez agreed.

"Forged!"

"Impossible, " another person said.

Archie looked at the short note the intruder left on his laptop, he read again " shocked?" written on it, a scary smirk appeared on his face.

Who doesn't know him? He used to play mind games and scary puzzles with his opponents. Once they manage to connect the dots, it's mental or brain issues and always ends up in a psychiatric hospital! He gives them puzzles according to what he has prepared for them.

But wait....this person...

He hacked all the security CCTVs, no fingerprints or footprints.... Taking the pen meant for Jenna... It's registered already, the person must have known... Archie glanced at Jenna. Is it a coincidence or he's just overthinking?.

"Have you found the information about the 'Smart toys CEO?" Archie frowned when the moment nodded. He suddenly felt the person was intentionally toying with them which annoyed him.

The company is not that big but mighty, out of ten companies, Smart toys is number six, the company is the leading company for the toy companies with the largest kids customers, they produce toys for both kids and adults.

Big toys like children's sports cars, bicycles and so on. He's also a big client for Disney and other big companies, his style of making realistic toys is extraordinary which makes his products skyrocket

But because his identity is still unknown, he became a nightmare for other CEOs. If he's unknown forever, how would they attack him? What if he is among them? The only thing they know about him that they know about him is this peculiar nickname 'Myth'....nothing else.

Oh, and his personal assistant, Michael, goes to every occasion and represents him there. Archie is not interested in knowing his identity anyway, all he wants is for both of them to collaborate which will be a beneficial contract for both parties.

The crazy man ignored Archie's offer, no one knows if he agreed or not, Archie won't care if his offer gets rejected, he will actually see another toy company to collaborate with immediately, rejection is very normal in the business world.

"Could it be... our boss sleepwalks?" Mr Chen whispered to Jake.

Jake froze 'You have a death wish huh?' he whispered back.

'What?' Mr Chen asked.

'he will hear you no matter how low your voice is!' he said.

Chen rolled his eyes ' impossible...' The remaining words died in his throat when Archie gave him a deadly and quick glance! Very quick and scary... how did he even hear that? Archie's office is very extravagant and they are seated on the couch, designed for the guests... ' Stop imagining things, he controls this office ' Jake warned. Chen nodded and gave Archie a look, he remembered the day he saw Archie's father, Israel, that man himself is very dangerous.

' I've warned you, stop staring' Jake said. Chen nodded and read the percentages again and again! "This is not fake right?"

Jenna stared at Archie's tired face. 'He must have worked overnight yesterday and this happened early in the morning' she thought, she didn't need to guess to know the person who did it, the intruder is the same owner of the smart toys!

"Adan!!!" he is intentionally messing with his Dad! The only one that is 90 per cent of Archie, Archie will be shocked if he knows he had children...his triplets, his photocopies, the nightmare for his enemies.

Adian on the other hand isn't interested in technological stuffs, so he's not the suspect, the two identical boys are the younger version of Archie but, Adian has his own style of dressing, so he's different, he took Jenna's eyes and Israel's messy hair, he's actually friendly and talks more, his playful smirk will make you believe he is a very good person, those that knew him well will chose Adan over him! He's just a green snake in human skin!

Adan on the other hand is cold and always distant, his ways of doing things are very similar to Archie's. Same haircut, cold face, silver eyes and same sense of fashion. The only missing thing is just the height. Archie is thirty-one while Adan is just an eight-year-old boy with a twenty-five-year-old IQ.

Sighed. "Psychopath working on them"

The question is why is he provoking his father? What happened eight years ago isn't Archie's fault, or did he think Archie refused to give her the pen?... But...' Jenna's thoughts disappeared the moment their eyes met, it turned out that Archie had been studying her expression without her knowing. 'Ahhhh! Jenna, you're a fool!"

'Did he notice something suspicious or what, what's with his poker face? Or could it be... he's just checking on her? Which one? Why is he difficult to figure out?

Jenna frowned, deep in thought 'How will I cope with Archie, Adan and Adian at once?!' Jenna thought, biting her lower lip, She's confident about Alan and Adian, they are easy to control, as for Adan! That will be difficult...

Archie's m raised a brow at her, making Jenna nervous, she laughed and looked away.

Seeing this, Martinez shook his head. Jenna found Archie's furious face cute? "Hahaha", he laughed silently. That face is the nightmare of everyone in this company!
