"There are some secrets that are supposed to remain the same dear. What are you asking is not mine to tell. And yeah I have a lot of business with Ellsworth group of industries, Ellsworth.inc or EllsworthCom. You see he is a shark and so everyone is somehow working with or for him directly or indirectly. " Archer sit before me on the table and wait for my reply.

As broken and idiot I am feeling, this answer of his isn't helping me at all. After Sabrina's call that I thought was just fruit of jealousy and wouldn't hurt me but surprise, it did. I have been living in dark not because Ethan made sure to hide it but because I am an idiot.

"Then you had no right to teach me things, Archer. I found out that you approached me to help because of him in the first place. And I deserve to know everything. Sabrina called my mother whore Archer. Said she did some bad things and I am just like her. And that's why Ethan is after me. Tell me everything. I deserve it. " I say catering as much strength in my words I can get. But I break and feel a tear roll down my cheek.

Archer lean and wipe off the tear with pity in his eyes. I hate that but the part I hate most is where he who lied to me gets to rub it off.

I miss my brother and wish he was here to do it. He isn't here and I have accepted it. Anything bad comes to me it reminds me of him and this leads to the realization that I did the same to him. I know clearly now how much he must have wanted me to wipe his tear off after our parents died and missed me. I wasn't there. Now I know how much it hurts.

I deserve it.

"Your mother was the beautiful woman and the great mother Angie. She hadn't done anything bad purposely to hurt others. She would never."

The trails and look away. I notice his uneasiness and I understand.

"But she did something bad."

"Good and bad lies in the eyes of the beholder."

"Please Carter doesn't do this. Tell me what is it." I look him straight in the eye and the lower his gaze down.

When he looked up, he blows a breath and asks, "Do you really want to know when I am not sure if it's that why Ethan is after you."

"Yes, Archer. Shoot, for God sake"

"I just have a theory. I don't know. Ethan and his family are big in the market so your family business was... Kind of deep with them and also due to your father being mayor. In business, some share loss while other profit. So if you win from them it does not mean you wanted to destroy the other. It simply means you are doing business and working for the good for yourself. "

I shake my head with his blabber. When my patience runs away I grit my teeth," so what you mean by that. Please come to the point. "

" Well .. Niall Ellsworth bore a lot of business due to your parents. It was all business and nothing personal. Maybe Ethan wants you to -"

"Suffer for what my parents did?"

"Yes. But I am just guessing. Though Ethan and Niall were step and never good to each other but still. Man needs a reason when Ethan Ellsworth doesn't." He shrugs.

I close my eyes to control my anger. I want to hit something but it's stupid. Plain stupid. Ethan is an asshole and that's why he wants to ruin me. Nothing else can be the reason.
