His Uncommitted Sin

Desperate Measures

Vihaan's POV: 

I slammed my fist on the armrest of my chair, my anger simmering just below the surface. "Noah, where is the information I asked for?" I demanded, my voice low and even.

Noah stood before me, his expression calm and unruffled. "I mailed it to you, Mr. Aurora," he replied, his voice smooth as silk.

I raised an eyebrow, my anger dissipating slightly. I had been so caught up in my own thoughts, I hadn't even checked my email. I nodded curtly at Noah, and he bowed slightly before taking his leave.

I sat back in my chair, the soft leather creaking beneath me. My study room was a haven, a place where I could retreat from the world and focus on my own thoughts. The room was dimly lit, the only sound was the soft hum of my laptop as I booted it up.

I opened my email, my eyes scanning the inbox until I found the message from Noah. I clicked on it, and a detailed report spilt out onto the screen.

Archer's file was extensive, detailing every aspect of his life. I scrolled through the pages, my eyes widening as I took in the sheer amount of information.

He was fiercely independent and non-conformist, often challenging authority and pushing boundaries.Physical Description: 6'2", 190 lbs, short dark hair, piercing blue eyes

I scrolled through the rest of the report, my eyes scanning the pages with interest. Archer's background was impressive, his skills and experience making him a formidable opponent.

But it was the personal details that caught my attention. Archer had a dark secret, one that he had kept hidden from the world. He had a daughter, a child he had fathered with his ex-girlfriend, Sophia. But what was even more shocking was that Archer had dumped Sophia without knowing about the pregnancy, leaving her broken and alone.

According to the report, Sophia had refused to let anyone know about the child, determined to raise her daughter on her own. But the report also hinted at a deeper tragedy, one that had left Sophia's life in shambles.

I felt a pang of disgust as I read about Archer's actions. He had abandoned his own child, leaving her mother to pick up the pieces. It was a despicable act, one that spoke volumes about Archer's character.

I leaned back in my chair, my eyes narrowing as I thought about Archer. He was a complex man, driven by a desire for power and control. But he was also a man with a dark past.

I closed my laptop, my mind racing with thoughts and strategies. I would have to be careful, would have to stay one step ahead of Archer if I was going to uncover the truth about his past.

I stood outside Archer's flat, my hand raised to knock on the door. It was past 11:30 p.m., and I knew better than to mess with Archer's sleep. But I was trembling with confidence, my heart pounding in my chest.

I knocked on the door, the sound echoing through the hallway. There was a pause, and then the door swung open. Archer stood before me, his eyes narrowed in annoyance.

"What the...?" he began, but I didn't give him a chance to finish.

My eyes scanned the living room behind him, taking in the scattered clothes and the red lingerie on the couch. My jaw clenched in anger, but I kept my cool.
