The night was wrapped in a shroud of silence as I stepped out of Steve's car, my heart hammering in my chest. The heated argument with Archer still echoed in my mind, a harshness of emotions that left me both furious and vulnerable. Despite my anger, a flicker of rationality remained, guiding me to accept Steve's offer for a ride home.

I knew all too well how my actions could stir Archer's temper further, and tonight, I wanted to avoid adding more fuel to the fire.

I stood by the door, anxiously glancing at my watch while waiting for Toby. The seconds stretched into eternity, each tick of the clock amplifying my impatience. I start thinking about the conversation I had with Toby on ride back home.

My thoughts went back to the moment I dialed his number while feeling a little car sick.

Even though I pleaded with urgency in my voice, asking him to come immediately. At first, Toby just asked me to go back to sleep in his groggy voice suggesting postponing our conversat

    Georgina WestThe imposing Lancaster mansion loomed as I wearily trudged to my final stop before I head home, the day's battles fixed on my face. Physical exhaustion weighed on me, and my mind was a chaotic battleground. All I craved was the comfort of sleep, a brief break from the day's commotion. Yet, amidst the weariness, a persistent ache reminded me of my children. The grand doors opened, revealing the opulence within, and there was Archer, organizing dinner. The scene stirred memories of a simpler time, when Archer was more than an ex-husband—he was my partner, my rock. In those days, he shielded me from storms, preventing breakdowns that now seemed inevitable.I adore my kids, but things got really messed up with Archer after they were born. Everything just shifted after I had them.Archer called our children down for dinner as I walked towards the dining room. My steps were slow, as I tried not to think about the last encounter with Archer. Archer wordlessly placed a plate b

    Georgina WestThe echoes of childish arguments filled the air as Luna and Ace raced each other to their bedroom. Archer, with his usual blend of curiosity and disdain, couldn't resist poking into my personal life."So, what's going on with the loser boyfriend?" he inquired, his tone carrying a mix of nonchalance and genuine interest. I sighed, realizing I could never fully escape interactions with my ex-husband, especially when it came to our children's bedtime routine."I thought you didn't want to hear about him," I retorted, rolling my eyes, already anticipating the conversation's direction. I stepped into the room where the twins were engaged in a spirited jumping contest on their beds, both competing for the title of the highest jumper."Well, I want to know. I just don't want him around me and my children," Archer replies with a shrug."Yeah, that's not going to happen. Now, can we stop talking about him?" I replied, my patience wearing thin. I sat down on the bed, pulling Ace o

    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

    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.

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.

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.
