Georgina WestAs I knocked on the study before entering it, I kept thinking about Toby.Did Jason offer him money to do so? Was I really dating a man so shallow that he would do anything to get on someone’s good side if that man could benefit him.But before I could take a single step inside the study, Archer's presence loomed over me like a dark storm cloud, his expression twisted with fury as he stormed toward me."Georgina, what the hell was that?" he demanded, his voice a low growl that sent shivers down my spine. He was wearing all black today and somehow that made him look more scary.I raised my hands in a feeble attempt to placate him, but his anger was relentless, his eyes blazing with intensity. "Archer, please," I started, my voice barely above a whisper. "Let me tell you what happened before you jump to any conclusion."But Archer's rage was unyielding, his words laced with scorn as he hurled accusations at me. "Explain? What is there to explain, Georgina?" he spat, his vo

Georgina WestI've been staying away from Archer for a while now after our last conversation. He got really busy with work, we meet for dinner but it’s awkward because we haven’t talked about how we are going to start this again. I can't bring myself to even sleep next to him because I don’t want him to assume that I am going to jump back into the relationship the way it was five years ago, so I've been spending time in the children's room. But their small beds ended up giving me the worst back pain.Days passed in a blur of avoidance and unease, my heart heavy with regret and uncertainty. Our attempts to talk to each other have been pretty weird honestly. In the morning as we greeted each other, I went for a kiss on the cheek, he went for the forehead and to make it more awkward we just ended up shaking hands.Archer was the one person I felt was the easiest to talk to but when we sit in front of each other we cant think of anything other than the weather to discuss.One evening, as

Georgina WestI stood outside Archer's closed door, my heart pounding in my chest with each passing second. I knew he was angry with me, furious even, for letting Jason live. But I couldn't continue avoiding him any longer. I had to face him, no matter how difficult it might be.With a deep breath, I raised my hand and knocked on the door, the sound echoing in the empty hallway. For a moment, there was nothing but silence, and I feared he wouldn't answer. But then, faintly, I heard the sound of movement from inside the room."Archer?" I called out tentatively, my voice barely above a whisper. "Can I come in?"There was no response, only the sound of heavy breathing and the rhythmic thud of his push-ups. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. Archer had never given me the silent treatment before, and I didn't know how to handle it.But then, steeling myself, I pushed open the door and stepped into the room, my heart racing with trepidation. The sight that greeted me was both f

Georgina West As the sun streamed through the curtains, painting the bedroom in hues of gold, I stirred awake, a contented smile playing on my lips. I felt the warmth of Archer's body beside me, his arm draped protectively over my waist. It had been a long time since we had shared such intimate moments, and I relished the feeling of being close to him once again."Good morning, sleepyhead," Archer murmured, his voice husky with sleep as he pressed a tender kiss to my forehead.I chuckled softly, turning to face him with a playful glint in my eyes. "Good morning to you too, Mr. Grumpy," I teased, poking him gently in the ribs.Archer's lips twitched with amusement as he feigned offense. "Mr. Grumpy? I'll have you know that I'm the picture of happiness and bubbliness," he declared with mock anger.I laughed, shaking my head in amusement. "Of course, darling. That frown that is always resting on your face is a frown of happiness," I quipped, punctuating my words with exaggerated air quot

Georgina WestAs I entered the Lancaster Enterprise building to have lunch with Archer during his break, as I knocked on his office door before opening it. Archer looked up from his laptop, greeting me with a warm smile, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he got up from his seat and pulled me closer. "Sweetheart, I have a little surprise for you," he said, his handsome face lit up with excitement. Curious, I followed him into his desk, my heart pounding with anticipation. Archer reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a small velvet purple box, holding it out to me for display. "What's this?" I asked, my curiosity piqued as I took the box from his outstretched hand. "Maybe you should open it," he replied, as he sat back on his desk pulling me towards him, as I stood between his legs. I carefully lifted the lid of the box and gasped as I see what’s inside. Nestled within the plush velvet was a breath-taking necklace, its intricate design adorned with sparkling diamonds that gl
