~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 were. 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.
