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.

    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

    Georgina WestI groaned as he removed his fingers, stepping away from me, but I was too desperate to let him stop. Quickly, I got off the bed and walked towards him. "Georgie, I love you, and there is nothing in the world I would like to do more than this, but you are drunk," he started, but his voice faded away as, without a thought, I pulled the dress over my head. Usually, I am shy and insecure to be naked in front of him, but alcohol gave me an insane amount of confidence. Archer swallowed as his eyes traveled down my body, his breathing sounding erratic as he fisted his hands by his side in a feeble attempt to control his urges.I walked up to him, my hands tracing the edges of his t-shirt before I pulled it over his head. Placing kisses on the warm skin of his chest, I looked up to meet his dark eyes and clenched jaw. Taking his hands, I placed them on my waist as I pressed my body against his."Sweetheart, what are you doing?" I felt his deep voice radiating as his nails dug

    Georgina WestAs I slowly emerged from the depths of sleep, my eyelids felt like lead, resisting my efforts to open them. The sensation of weightlessness enveloped me, a lingering reminder of last night. It had been too long since I have been tossed around or manhandled, something only Archer was capable of doing. But as I reached out instinctively for Archer, my hand met empty sheets, and a pang of disappointment washed over me. Yet, when I glanced at my phone and saw the time:1 PMOh god!I slept through the morning.My heart leaped into my throat. Panic surged through me like a lightning bolt, jolting me fully awake.I never sleep in this late! Rushing through my morning routine, I practically sprinted through the shower, brushed my teeth like a madwoman, and threw on some clothes as fast as I could.Racing downstairs, I half expected to find chaos, but instead, I found Archer chilling in the living room with the kids as they watched the movie ‘Madagascar’ on the television.Ash

    Georgina WestStepping into the study, I swiftly claimed the chair that Archer usually sits in which is behind the huge mahogany desk, a chair reserved solely for the boss. It was a subtle power play, one that never failed to amuse me, knowing that I could make Archer take the seat across from me with just a glance."So, boss, what are these three conditions?" He asked with a hint of mischief dancing in my eyes, playing along with my joke as he sat one of seats in front of me."Again, I need you to agree to all three of them and I feel like they are pretty reasonable given our history," I declared, the weight of my words punctuating the air between us."Alright, hit me," he responded, his tone now serious, mirroring the shift in our conversation."First off, I need to know that I come first. It can't be like it was before," I explained, my voice sounded a bit hurt as I recalled the times Archer unintentionally favored someone else over me. Archer furrowed his brow, confused with the i

    Elizabeth PaigeAGAIN... I was running late for my class. As I walked through the corridors with books in my hand I silently prayed hoping Danika Williams and her minions were not around, even if they were, hopefully Nathaniel Lachlan was around. He was the most feared guy in our city. He was the quarterback in football and also a genius in each and every aspect. I knew and liked him since kindergarten. He was a very friendly kid back then but after his parents died in an accident he has been aloof. He lived with his grandfather, Joseph Lachlan who was one of the richest men listed by Forbes. Nathaniel never talked much but always stood up against the bullies who targeted weak people. His one menacing look made the bullies question their existence. I sighed in relief when I saw my classroom from my peripheral vision. I almost jumped out of excitement becau- “Wait up Fatso, Where is my assignment, essay or whatever the hell you were supposed to complete? I turned around ready to b

He was very smart and had recently got an internship at a recognized enterprise.But unfortunately things spiraled from there, the owner, Paul Scotts was actually a sadist, alcoholic asshole who liked beating people up for pleasure and that’s what he did to poor Jimmy. I felt tears welling in my eyes as I remembered his state when he visited me for help as he was poor. Bruises and cuts were all over his face as it was swollen red, it looked like someone ran him over with a truck.Poor boy.I heard a knock on my door which got me out of my daze, I wiped my tears quickly and turned my head around.
