Georgina West

Stepping 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

  • The Mafia And His Ex-Wife   Chapter 23

    Georgina WestAlone in the quiet confines of my home, tears cascading down my cheeks, I buried my face in the softness of my pillow.I hated Archer, there was a reason I was pushing him away so much. I knew him better than he knew himself and I knew we were going to go back to square one the minute we try to get back together.When people are meant to stay together, they stay together no matter what.The persistent ring of the doorbell shattered the silence, echoing through the empty rooms like a haunting melody. For a moment I thought I was imagining it because it 11 pm but when it didn’t fade away, I knew it was Archer, but I couldn't bring myself to answer, not when my heart felt so heavy with sadness."Georgie, please open the door. You know I have the emergency key, but I don't want to use it," his voice carried through the barrier of the door, pleading and remorseful. "I'm sorry for getting angry. Let's talk this out like adults."With a resigned sigh, I pushed myself up from th

    Georgina WestTo say I was depressed would be an understatement. It felt like the past five years I spent trying to move on from the man I was never going to fall out of love with were all for nothing. Why? Because I was back to square one. Sleeping with him brought it all back. The way he used to kiss me, love me, and talk to me. Everything came crashing down like a tidal wave. Memories I spent years burying resurfaced. Our wedding, our honeymoon, the first time I laid eyes on him... God, I hate him so much for putting me through that again.I rang the bell twice as I reached Archer’s home to pick the kids up. They stayed here for the past three days so I could have some time to myself and feel a little better. Archer has been very understanding, only talking to me about the kids and not pushing anything else. I appreciated it, but for some reason, it annoyed me. I hated how perfect he was being. I hated how he reverted back to being just a co-parent and a friend.To my surprise, Aur

  • The Mafia And His Ex-Wife   Chapter 25

    Georgina WestEmerging from my hour-long bath, I couldn't help but revel in the relaxation a little too much. Back at my place, there's no bathtub, let alone a luxurious bathroom with bath salts and perfectly warmed water like here.Rummaging through the cupboard, I stumbled upon some of my old dresses. They were cute, but I had abandoned them post-pregnancy. However, slipping into one, I felt a surge of happiness; sure, it hugged my curves a bit tighter now, but I didn't mind. Grabbing a few more dresses hanging there, I decided to take them home. Perhaps wearing them again would inspire me to kickstart my workout routine and get back to healthier eating habits.After blow-drying my hair, I stole a glance in the mirror. To my surprise, I looked considerably better than when I had first arrived. It was amusing how just one hour of pampering could work wonders on my body and mood.Exiting my room, I was met with the excited rush of my children, eager for a hug. "Mumma, we waited for yo

  • The Mafia And His Ex-Wife   Chapter 26

    Georgina WestI had resolved that on the three days a week when I didn't have to look after my kids, I'd work late. Home felt too quiet and empty, and to be completely honest, I'm one of those adults who's spooked by the idea of ghosts and prefers the comfort of sleeping beside someone.One of the toughest aspects of my separation was the absence of a husband to share my bed with. Next to Archer, I always felt protected and secure.With a groan, I checked my phone and saw that it was already 8 pm. I could either head home or spend some time here preparing notes for my next case. After ten minutes of contemplation, I decided to get some coffee.As I stood up, cup in hand, a knock on my office door interrupted my thoughts. Peering through the translucent window, I spotted a tall, muscular figure standing outside. Instinctively, I knew who it was.Opening the door, I walked past Jason towards the break room. I sensed his faint footsteps following me as I approached the huge coffee machin

    Georgina WestA week had passed since Jason dropped me home, and thankfully, true to his word, he hadn’t tried to contact me again. The week went surprisingly smoothly. I had very limited interactions with Archer, didn’t cross paths with Aurora even once, and the kids were surprisingly well-behaved.But I knew my streak of serenity wasn’t going to last long. Today was Archer’s birthday, and I had to attend the party held in his honour. My mother-in-law had extended a special invitation to me, and knowing Archer would want his kids there, I didn’t really have much of a choice.As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the sprawling gardens of the Lancaster Mansion, the estate came alive with the lavish decorations that were done. The air was thick with anticipation as guests from all corners of the city arrived, their sleek cars pulling up to the grand entrance in a steady stream.Stepping out of my own car, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the shee

    Georgina West"You met him again? How did that happen?" Archer inquired, his voice tinged with anger as he stood before me, clad in his crisp white shirt and black slacks, seemingly unfazed by the need to dress up for his own party. But then again, it hardly mattered with Archer; he exuded a natural charm that made him irresistible, like a modern-day Greek God.I was all too aware of the effect he had on people—how they couldn't help but swoon at the sight of him. Standing at an impressive 6 feet 3 inches, his figure boasted a perfect balance of lean athleticism and sculpted muscle. And his face... well, his face was simply captivating, capable of melting even the sternest of hearts into a puddle of adoration."Wait, why didn't you tell me about this? You know that guy is trouble, right?" Axel's voice rang out, towering over me like a looming shadow as the tall Lancaster brothers cornered me, thier towering presence making me feel like a tiny insect. I shot a glare at Asher, who s

    Georgina WestI stood behind Jason, observing as he effortlessly charmed a group of girls with his bad jokes, their giggles echoing in the air. It was evident that they were drawn to him, their laughter serving as a testament to his magnetic personality.Interrupting his lively conversation, I tapped him on the shoulder, prompting him to turn around with a wide smile plastered on his face. "Excuse me, ladies," he announced, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "but it seems that Georgina here needs my assistance. She has always referred to me as a hero who-""No, that's not true," I interjected with a laugh, addressing the amused women before me. "I just need to speak with him for a moment. He'll be back soon." With that, I took his arm and guided him towards the bar, wanting a moment of privacy amidst the bustling party.Jason's playful banter continued as we found a secluded corner. "Well, well, well, I didn't expect you to acknowledge my existence today, let alone whisk me away for a p

    Six Months LaterGeorgina WestSix months had passed since the day I stormed out of Archer's life, and in that time, I hadn't spoken to him or even caught a glimpse of him. Instead, Steve, his loyal bodyguard, had taken over the task of shuttling the kids between our houses.Initially, the children had struggled to adjust to the new arrangement. There were tears and protests, but eventually, they came to accept the new routine. They understood that despite the changes, both Archer and I remained constants in their lives.As for me, I found myself settling into a newfound sense of calm and contentment. For the first time in years, I wasn't plagued by confusion or overwhelmed by petty grievances. I focused on my work and cherished the precious moments with my children.Though I was initially unhappy with Jason's blunt words, his reality check had ultimately allowed me to make positive changes in my life. I had distanced myself from the chaos and violence that had once consumed me, deter

    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

    Siya RainsAs I wrapped up my class, I realized how distracted I was throughout it. I started teaching psychology at this well-known university three years ago. I was twenty-five years old when I had my first batch of students and I know as a teacher I am not supposed to have favourites but I did have one, Jimmy Miller. 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. My jaw dropped as I laid eyes on the most handsome man I’ve ever seen in m

Archer had spared no expense in planning the celebration, and as I stepped into the grand ballroom, I was greeted by a sea of smiling faces and twinkling lights.I had dressed up for the occasion, slipping into a stunning gown that Archer had picked out for me.
