Arabelle sipped on her drink and looked at Archer who was listening to his father and Antonio . As Antonio smiled at me i smiled back . I saw him walk towards me and i sigh . " Has Archer forbidden you to drink or is it you ?"I chuckled , " He did " Antonio was quick to grab a drink from a waiter passing by . "Have some wine , i am sure he won't mind " I took a sip loving its taste . " Antonio " i called looking at Archer . " Are you finally about to tell him ?" he asked and i looked at him . " I am scared , what if he gets mad "Antonio only shrugged . " He loves you " He said walking away .
Suddenly i was grabbed by Archer and kissed in my cheek . " Sorry love business " He said and i nodded smiling ," Common on " He said taking my drink and keeping it down . He kissed my cheek and pulled me in the middle of the hall . Right below the huge Chandelier . I bite my lip looking at him and suddenly everyone was looking at us . " I want to make it official " He whispered and frowned . " Archer ?" i asked and he looks at Antonio who walks away nodding .
" As everyone of you know . This evening event was held for a special occasion . My wishes have been fullfilled by my son Archer who today turns twenty four " Archer's father spoke with a drink in his hand . " I would like to make a toast . And i am very happy to announce His engagement with Miss Arabelle . " I shiver and fist my hand on Archer's sleeve , " Relax ." He whispered and i smiled Being the centre of attention sure wasn't my thing . " Happy birthday Son and congratulations to you both " Everyone started clapping as the music started playing .
Antonio walked towards us with two small golden boxes and handed one to Archer . Archer opened the box taking a simple rosegold ring out and taking my hand . He kissed my hand which hand his given diamond ring and he slipped the rosegold ring on top of it . Antonio handed me the box and i took it . My eyes wander off to my parents who were smiling but there was a hint of sadness to them . I took Archer's hand and slipped the ring on .
Everyone clapped and rose petals were thrown on us making my heart skip a beat . Archer leaned in to kiss me and i thought i was about to faint from the overwhelming feeling . His pressed his lips softly on mine and caressed my cheek , " Ah !! Congratulations !!" Archer's mother said walking to us with my parents . We hugged each other and i heard a voice which made me pull away from my father and look behind me .
I chuckled running to Mary and picking her kissing her cheek . " Hello princess " i said " you the princess tonight Belle " I laugh and Mary looked behind me to grin . " Hey princess " Archer said taking Mary from my hands and smiling at her . " Brother you look like a old man " Mary said and i gasp laughing . " Do i now ?" he said adjusting her on one hand and taking mine dragging us to eat dinner .
After Dinner Mary fell asleep in Arabelle's arms . Although asked by Archer's mother to give her to her nanny Arabelle's refused to move away from that little girl . They were more attached now then ever . Arabelle's moved her eyes to see Mary hugging her neck and Archer's father chuckle . "That kid ain't giving you a hard time is she ?" Arabelle smiled .
"Never . I love holding her " Marilyn smiled . "Hope you get one of yours soon " Marilyn said hinting Arabelle's future child making Arabelle gulp . Archer however glared at his mother as his eyes never missed the smirk on his brothers faces . Almost as if they wanted to hurt Arabelle . Archer grabbed Mary from Arabelle and kiss her forehead before giving her to her nanny . "Take her to her room " Archer ordered .
"Oh ! My son and you will have such cute kids " Arabelle nervously chuckled with everyone blushing hard and very scared now that they were already talking about her having kids without Arabelle having a job or getting married . "Mother . Us having a child isn't going to happened very soon . We will get going " Archer stated wrapping his arm around Arabelle
"You weren't ready for marriage but look here you are " Archer's father said drinking his third glass. His father was extremely happy considering Arabelle was coming from a lower rank than Archer's family . Arabelle felt happy but she was surprised that none of Archer's family members asked her of her status in the society .
Of course Archer choosing a women who would be of a good status was obvious. So as the guests thought . Archer left to say goodbye to his men and to deal with a small issue and Arabelle walked outside the hall on the big patio of the house . She sighs rubbing her hands at the coldness . Suddenly a jacket was draped across her shoulders and she jumped looking back to see Antonio .
"Shall i escort you inside again ?" Arabelle shook her head . "I feel nervous " she said eyeing her ring finger . " Are you okay with everything ?" Antonio asked . "I ..I just want him to be honest to me in this " Arabelle stated .
[3 weeks ago ]
Arabelle walked out the kitchen holding the popcorn bowl as Archer waited for her in the living room . She walked slowly holding a can of soda For Antonio would had graced them with his presence . He was here for work wanting Archer's signature on some papers but Arabelle though it would be nice to make some popcorn for Archer's friend and give him a can of soda as she always noticed him drinking it . As she walked in the living room she heard Archer and froze on her step .
"Give me the details of the man . If he was Francis then kill him on sight . I won't be able to come there now . Make sure you dispose of the body " Arabelle stood there shocked . Archer was talking on the phone while Antonio looked at the paper never fazed by it .
As an instinct Antonio looked up and saw Arabelle frozen . His eyes wide as he looked at Archer who had no idea of what was happening. Antonio gulped and kept the papers aside standing up ." I'll be back " Archer nodded continued talking. Antonio grabbed Arabelle dragging her back into the kitchen and rubbing his forehead .
Arabelle never acted like she was fazed by it after that night but she needed answers . And Antonio insisted on her asking Archer himself . She knew now that Archer's day was his company business and his night was his his underground business . " He takes money from men to sort of ..convert a illegal club into a legal one ? Its kinda hard to explain . He offers men to build their clubs and companies on his own land and name it as a legal structure and building and takes fifty percent of the shares , that is the money that comes from the investments made by the club and companies ." Antonio explained and Arabelle looked away .
" I hope you are okay with this because you know Archer's loves you , he can die and kill for you Arabelle , he will always keep you safe in the dark world he had created . You are going to be his wife . And you love him back . so please understand him" Antonio stated and she nodded . Suddenly the doors of the patio opened loudly and Arabelle jumped looking over to see Archer . " Why are you outside ? are you feeling dizzy again ?" he asked
Arabelle almost felt like she was going to faint with the flutters inside her body and with confronting Archer . Archer took the jacket off his belle's shoulder and handed it to Antonio . " Night Arabelle , Archer see you tomorrow " Archer nodded . Arabelle watched him take his own jacket off and draping it over her . "How much did you drink ?" he asked looking at his belle's red cheeks . He pressed his palms on her cheeks to feel hotness on her face . " hm ?" she only hummed . He then pressed the back of his hands on her cheek to see how hot her face was and he looked around .
He took her cell phone out looking into his belle's eyes as she blushed and looked at his tie which was now half undone . " Ready my car we are leaving " Archer ordered on the cell phone and hung up . " What's wrong ?" he asked pulling her close . Arabelle sighs kissing his jaw loving his warmness but walking away making him confused . " Love ?"
" I love you Archer , so much . And i would never walk away from you , you must know that perfectly . You didn't tell me about your other works did you ?" Archer was smart enough to understand her . But he never acted as if he wanted to keep it from her . Archer simply walked towards her and took her hand kissing them both . " Do you not like me doing that stuff ?" Arabelle shook her head ." Its ..your life , you choose what to do with it but all the times that i saw you hurt it was because of your enemies ?" Archer sighs resting his head on her shoulder .
" I don't want you involved but at the same time i want you to see my enemies , so you can recognise them if they try anything on you . Few of my scars were infact given by my own brothers . Because we are rivals . " Arabelle licked her lip biting it . " Can we go home ? I am tired " She said and he nodded but didn't move . " You are sleeping with tonight , yes ?" he asked , Arabelle knew she could never say no . " Tell me how many people you have killed ?" she asked and Archer suddenly chuckled .
" I have never counted Arabelle . But i never kill people without any reason . I never kill a child or a women . " ..Intentionally he continued in his mind , " Those people who had their deaths written by me deserved it " He said . Arabelle was already prepared for this . Antonio had told her everything anyway . But Antonio begged her never to leave Archer .
He made a straight point telling Arabelle that they never kill for money . He made Arabelle know of the fact that Archer wasn't a killer , Antonio had begged her to stay relaxed and understand Archer's work . " Have you hurt people ?" Arabelle asked . " Yes " Archer replied honestly . Arabelle nodded . " Cool " She said walking inside leaving Archer confused and with a funny face .
The bloody Hell does she mean by that ? Archer thought .
Arabelle held her binder close to her and walked out the office . She looked around and walked up the stairs to search for the library. She was a week late to her highschool due to shifting and was now asked to go to the library to collect her ID and sign up for a library membership card .
She bit her lip scratching her head confused but eventually found the library by asking someone . It was on the fourth floor . She walked on the fourth floor corridor looking around to figure it was the floor of third year students. Her eyes fixed on the library doors and she walked in .
"Sign on this fill these up " the women at the desk stated and Arabelle sat on a nearby chair to fill her forms . It after she walk out she spotted a door leading to the balcony of the school . She walked towards it and smiled at the fresh wind looking out to see the blue sky . Her hand rested on the railing and she smilied looking down to see the football ground .
She was about to laugh at the boys playing when her eyes spotted a figure behind her and she her heart skipped a beat scared . She looked behind her to see a boy . Sitting on ground with his hand on his knee and other leg spread out . His was so handsome . She thought . "What's your name ?" He asked and she gulped . He seemed so dangerous. He was wearing all black . His eyes cold . His face screaming scaryness .
"Arabelle " she answer . He nodded standing up and walking away leaving her confused . But something inside her moved at his voice . It was as if he had touched her. She was really affected by him even if he was merely a stranger .
The next week she saw him almost everyday . Getting off his bike . Nodding to his friends . Ignoring others and walking through the doors to his classes . She never made any move to ask his name . She stayed like a loner like she always was . That day in noon as lunch came in . Arabelle took her bag and walked to her regular place which was the football court . Unfortunately boys were playing there . So she walked away outside the school to sit under the trees .
As she looked around eating her meal her eating stopped as she saw That boy walking with someone towards her direction . She looked down scrambling to get her stuff . Arabelle knew he was danger . That's was she heard from the girls in the bathroom . "Belle " she heard him and froze . She stood up with her bag .
"Arabelle " she corrected . "Nice to meet you Arabelle I am Antonio " the other guy greeted and she nodded nervosly . She walked ahead not wanting to stay with them alone and defence less but was called again by Him . "What classes you attend " he asked leaning agaist the wall . She looked around biting her lip . "Biology , economics and maths " she answered . "Only three ?" He asked and she looked at Antonio to see him eyeing that guy .
"No . Chem and physics are there too " she said and he nodded . There was a long pause before she finally decide she shouldn't talk to boys would radiate bad . "I will be going now " before either of the boy could speak she ran away
"You have spoken two sentences in less than an hour . Wow . Who is she to make you talk ?" Antonio asked and Archer ignored him . Watching Arabelle walk away . The next day Archer spotted her in the football court . He walked up the stairs and sat right next to her . Arabelle tensed never spoke a single word .
"You ...you are a senior? " Arabelle asked . Archer hummed never taking his eyes off her . Something about her intrigued him . Something about the way she look and her expressions her eyes ..her lips ..her hands . He wanted to see more . He want to know more of her . "So ..You are in science major ?" She asked . "Business management "he answer and she nodded chewing on her food .
"Its Archer " he said . "Hmm ?" She asked ."My name is Archer he repets .
"Archer " she said and looked away blushing as he nodded .
[A month later ]
"No ! " , "yes " , "No " , "yesss !!" Arabelle yelled and Caroline jumped away from her blood curling scream . Arabelle grinned eating the chocolate . Caroline rolled her eyes taking the fries and stuffing fires in her mouth .
Arabelle was about to say something when she saw Archer walking towards her . She smiled standing up and hugging him . "Hi !! We were just about to eat our lunch " Arabelle stated . "Before which you decide to eat chocolates " Caroline said and Arabelle punched her friend lightly .
Archer sat down next to her and she started eating . For the first few weeks of them knowing each other Arabelle always wonder why Archer would be so conservative around others . Archer would talk a little more around Arabelle telling her about different stuff he had done . Arabelle had only gained one new friend Caroline . But she loved Archer's company .
Being with Archer made her move away from the harsh glares of others . He would be with her all the time when she needed him . Archer had gone as far to reach his limits and let Arabelle playfully hit him . The last time Archer was playfully hit he had punched that guy . Didn't cause any damage but ..somehow he loved her talk . Belle as he called her and everyday she would correct him althought deep inside both knew that she loved him calling her that .
"Belle !!" A random guy called and Arabelle looked away from her locker in confusion . "Arabelle " she said he smiled . But she tried moving away . " if Archer calls you that why can't I ?" He asked and suddenly he was knocked to the locker making him groan . Arabelle shocked and her eyes wide she saw Archer wrap his hand around that guys neck .
"You have no right to call her that . Understand? " the guy nodded trembling . "Now move " Archer grits . Arabelle from that day knew for a fact that she never would be getting flirty guys around her ever .
Arabelle watched Archer look at her and she moved her eyes to the floor . "Belle " his voice made her feel so good . Yet so nervous. Arabelle stepped ahead and hugged him .
The first reason was to thank him and another was just because she love his warm body wrapped around her .
[5 months Later ]
Arabelle paced around the living room waiting for Archer . She was getting really excited for there night together. One thing Arabelle had came to the conclusion by now about Archer was that , He hates being in public . He loves basketball. He hates guys near her . He could walk in her bedroom anytime and for some reason her parents never did mind . Archer loves cuddling .and Archer loves Disney movies .
As Archer walked in through the front door Arabelle without another thought of him being her best friend jumped on him hugging him . Archer chuckled wrapping his arms around his belle who had gotten so attached to him . Just like he was . "Are you tired ?" Belle asked . "No . Let me get a shower and then we will watch movies that you want " Arabelle kissed him on his cheek as always when he made her happy and skipped to the living room .
Archer had been very careful with his belle . It was as if he had taken over a job to keep her safe . Arabelle was very irritative when she constantly kept on talking about cartoons or anime as she called that . But that was what her friend thought . Archer surprising felt happy and relaxed when she talked . It was for the first time in years that he had started talking to someone .
He would laugh . Something he never did . But his belle was so funny , clumsy . It made him want her safe and near him . Arabelle was very smart . Very beautiful. Archer knew she would eventually be with him . She was already attached to him by now . Due to Arabelle shifting here she had no knowledge of why Archer was hated or feared in the school . Her class mates looked at Arabelle as a freak to talk to Archer .
Arabelle never knew the rumor of Archer being a bad person amd hurt others. She never knew he had gone as far as to warn every single student that she belonged to him . Archer never killed or disobeyed his teachers . But they fear him anyway . It was in his blood to kill ,everyone said . But infact . The truth was that Archer had his own history .
Archer was quite . Reserved . Therefore other boys wanted to bully him . But they had gotten far as to call him bad words which ended them with punches . They didn't stop . They started rumors of Archer being a killer . They started Rumors of Archer killing innocent people . It made Archer more reserved than ever . Archer was called a murderer because of the rumors . He never cared .
Arabelle had no reason to know that . He was now happy . At least no boys or girls of bad intention will go near his belle due to HIS reputation .
Archer and Belle always cuddled up in a blanket watching movies and playing video games .
Arabelle groaned banging her fist on the table and taking a chip popping it in her mouth going back to the killing spree in the game .
"ARCHER !! don't kill my targets !! " she shouts making him chuckle . "You are too slow love " he said and Belle gulped . She didn't stop playing but inside her heart felt like it stopped . He had called her love . It was the very first time . Everytime after that when he would call her love she would blush . She would feel so happy yet ...he only took her as a friend she thought .
Untill next year when they were on a race track . "Look at the pink car !! Its pink !! Archie ! " Archer laughed .wrapping his arms around her waist . " the person driving is a girl!?? I wanna do this too !"His belle excalimed . "Its dangerous " he whispered making her neck feel so hot .
"Archer look !" Arabelle pointed at a certain car and he looked over to notice some guys looking at his love . He glared at them but the nerve of those guys . They only laughed . "Archer , i am gonna go to the ladies " Arabelle said stepping away . Archer followed her and she turned back . "Archer !! You can't come " she said with hinting anger
"I'll wait outside " he said and she sighs nodding . Archer when was waiting for her he noticed the boys walk over to him . "Your girl seemed cute " Archer didn't hesitate to punch that fucker . A fight broke between the three guys and Archer . Arabelle gasped as she saw it and yelled for Archer making them four look at her . One of them smirked . He ran towards Arabelle grabbing her
Archer tried to get away but he was stopped by a punch to his cheek . "Little girl is mine " Arabelle tried to get away but she couldn't. She stomps on his foot making his hold loose and ran over to Archer .
Not a minute later three more guys came in between . Archer felt his heart stop as he saw his belle and more men .
Fortunately the three guys ran over to help them not increase the fight . Archer didn't let go of his belle the entire night . He dragged her to his car and slammed the door shut driving away . Arabelle was shaken . She didn't know what to say . She only rubbed away her tears .
Archer took her over to his house . Dragging her to his room and grabbing her jaw . Turning her head to see any injuries. " Archer , i am not hurt you are " his belle said touching his chest lightly to push him away but he didn't let go of her waist . "I am sorry belle " he said resting his head on her shoulder and kissing her cheek .
"I am fine . " belle whispered . But Archer had enough . He picked his belle up making her gasp . Her body immediately started feeling sparks inside . He sat her on his desk and laid his lips on hers . Arabelle stayed frozen as her Archer kissed her . There were hot sparks , tingles , flutters , weird clenching of her lady parts . She had no idea what was going on.
Archer took her lower lip between his teeth and she went crazy . She moaned making Archer satisfied . As he pulled away his eyes couldn't take hold of his red face belle who was about to faint . He only laid her on his bed and held her tight sleeping that night .
