Georgina WestArcher huffed, a clear sign that he wasn't pleased with the direction of our conversation. "I am not going to indulge in this. I feel bad that you keep saying that about her especially when she hasn’t done anything ever. She has never flirted with me or touched me. I-" I could see the confusion and, strangely, a hint of frustration in his eyes as he put his point forth."Flirting and being in love are two different things. She is in love with you, Archer. What do you think is happening? She waited because she wanted to talk to you. You were busy the whole day with the kids, so she waited just to talk to you for a few seconds. That's why her face fell when she saw me. Don’t you see how much her heart breaks every time you touch me? I don’t know if she will ever act on it and make a move on you but trust me when I say that she is head over heels in love with you." I said, trying to convey the weight of emotions involved. Heading toward my room, I sensed Archer following,

Archer LancasterI woke up in the morning to the unfamiliar surroundings of the guest room. The events of the previous night trickled back into my consciousness, and a sense of slight embarrassment washed over me. I couldn't believe how frustrated I'd allowed myself to become during my conversation with Georgie.After a quick shower to wash away the remnants of the night, I found my way downstairs. My mother helped me get the kids ready for school as they were crying and cribbing a lot because they missed their mother.I couldn't help but wonder where Georgie had spent the night, but the neatly made bed in my room hinted that she had been there and left for work.Entering the conference room in the house, I found my younger brother, Asher, engaged in an animated conversation with Aurora. Asher, with his inherent charm, had a way of making women feel at ease. He had habit of harmlessly flirting with women who usually ended up falling in love with him because of it.“Asher,” I called ou

Archer LancasterI watched as Georgie stormed into the living room, her face twisted in anger and frustration. Something was definitely up, but I couldn't help but feel a twinge of amusement at her fiery demeanor. Whatever it was, it seemed like she was about to unleash hell."Archer, follow me. Now!" she barked, her voice sharp and commanding. I silently followed her as my eyes couldn’t help but trail down from her waist to her hips. I had to control every nerve in my body to not put my hands on her waist and pull her into my chest to feel the soft curves of her body against mine. I breathed in as I took in how beautifully the plain bodycon black dress was complimenting her body. But anger fuelled in me when I thought all the men who ogled at her today.I raised an eyebrow, suppressing a smirk as I followed her into my study. I had a pretty good idea of what this was about, and honestly, I wasn't too bothered by it. If anything, it was kind of entertaining to see her all worked up lik

Georgina WestSo, here I am, pacing back and forth in my room, trying to shake off the residual heat from that encounter with Archer. It's like my skin is still buzzing with his touch, and I hate how much I crave it. I'm seriously shook by how much Archer still gets to me. It's like he knows all the buttons to push, and damn, does he push them hard. That 'moment' we shared in the study? Yeah, that was a wake-up call. I can't trust myself alone with him anymore. It's like we're magnets, drawn together whether I like it or not.For five freakin' years, we managed to keep things civil. No moves, no drama. But deep down, I know Archer's got this hold over me that's both infuriating and intoxicating. It's like he's playing with fire, and I'm the one getting burned. This whole situation is a mess, and I can't shake the feeling that it's going to end in disaster.I reach for my phone, seeking a distraction from the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside me. But as I glance at the screen,

Georgina West I looked at the full moon visible through the curtains of my windows, I found myself sinking into the couch with a contented sigh. Luna and Ace were spending the weekend over at my place.From the moment they arrived, it was non-stop chatter and laughter, because they didn’t get to spend a lot of time with me over the week, they had a lot to fill me up on, tales of their latest adventures and their excitement over the new games they had brought along.I made their favorite meal—homemade lasagna followed by their favourite chocolate milkshake. I don’t know why but I felt like I wanted to do a lot for them because I don’t see them as often as I used to.I also had an irrational fear that my kids who already loved Aurora, might get attached to her. I knew it was silly but I was insecure and it would break my hearts if I see her taking care of my children.As the clock struck 9:30, their eyelids began to droop, and I knew it was time to tuck them into bed.With Luna and A

Georgina West I felt my heart pounding in my chest as Archer guided me into my room, a place he had never set foot in before. It was surreal, to say the least, to find ourselves standing together in my bedroom, a scenario I had never even entertained in my wildest dreams.The strange mixture of excitement and nervousness swirling inside me was palpable, intensified perhaps by the two glasses of wine I had consumed earlier. Or maybe it was simply Archer's presence that caused the fluttering sensation in my stomach."What’s up, dude?" I chuckled nervously, trying to break the tension as Archer shot me a puzzled yet amused look in response.Taking a seat at the foot of the bed, Archer watched me as I paced awkwardly around the room, feeling like we had been transported back to our high school days. Back then, he was the epitome of popularity, the school president, while I was known for being the president of The Ryan Gosling Club.Both equally prestigious titles.I couldn't help but shak

Georgina WestAs I sat in Chloe’s living room, the memories of that fateful day at the police station where I met her came flooding back, like a wave crashing over me. It had been six or seven years ago, during the third trimester of my pregnancy, when I had the worst days of my life, thanks to Harold Salinger, a man whose very presence sent shivers down my spine.Salinger was infamous in law enforcement circles for his ruthless interrogation techniques, and I had unfortunately crossed paths with him on several occasions as an opposing lawyer in various cases. He was the kind of man who exuded an aura of darkness, someone who seemed capable of unspeakable cruelty without a second thought.But nothing could have prepared me for the day he decided to arrest me without any substantial evidence, dragging me to the police station under the guise of questioning me about the mafia, specifically Archer. I was seven months pregnant at the time, vulnerable and defenseless, and Salinger wasted n

Georgina West As I stepped into Archer's office, I saw Aurora working diligently at her desk greeted me. She appeared tired, her usual vibrancy dulled by the weight of her responsibilities but she looked pretty with her aurbun hair tied up in a bun with a few strands falling free. “Oh hey Georgie!” She greets me happily making me groan internally.“Umm yeah Hi.” Despite my best efforts to maintain a facade of civility, I knew she could sense the frostiness in my greeting."Georgina, are you upset with me about something? I couldn't help but notice that Archer and I were acting weird around you." Her question caught me off guard, and for a moment, I debated whether to skirt around the issue or address it head-on. But the words spilled out before I could stop them, fueled by a mix of frustration and resentment.Why did she have to act like I don’t know anything? Am I supposed to believe she hasn’t loved my husband, even when I was with him?"Can we please drop the act? I can tell whe

Georgina West "And d-do you know what hurt me the most about this, Archer? You k-know?" I stammered, perching myself on the edge of the bed next to him after pacing back and forth through the flowing curtains countless times. I felt like a fairy princess from that Disney movie with the lost shoe. CINDERELLA!!!I lost count of the shots I'd taken; the alcohol hadn't seemed to affect me until it hit me all at once. Despite Archer's warnings, I stubbornly snatched the bottle from his hand. I don’t listen to no man. I was a gangsta."What hurt you the most, Georgie?" Archer inquired, his lips pressed together as he gently supported my back, preventing me from tumbling backward onto the bed or, worse, stumbling forward onto my face."That in the school play, I wanted to play the beauty, but they cast me as the beast," I confessed, tears welling up in my eyes. "Archer, do you know how difficult it is to sing like a man? I had to deepen my voice. After the play, everyone called me Prince
