Sophie pov âWhat?â I asked shyly, as I looked at him beneath my lashes while forking through some scrambled eggs.
Aidenâs staring at me with an awe look for five minutes straight already. Even Ash has been trying to get his attention but to no avail.
Aidenâs eyes were practically glued on me.
âYouâre so damn beautiful Sophie. How did I get this lucky?â He asked in a bit of a whisper, his head tilting.
âWhy did I wait this long?â He murmured shaking his head as if a bit flabbergasted that he waited this long to tell me how he felt.
I tucked some hair behind my ears and looked at him a bit flustered. Okay a lot flustered. My cheeks were so hot I could fry an egg on them.
I was exaggerating but donât we all once in a while?
Iâm about to answer him, probably make a fool out of myself when his phone rang.
I rose to my feet and walked over to him and Ash and pried Ash from his hands so Aiden would be able to take the phone with no problem.
I kiss Ashtonâs head and returned to my seat. Aiden answers the phone and talks roughly to whomever was on the receiving end.
I wince inwardly.
With how he treated me and Ash, especially me yesterday ar last night all to now, made me forget that he was supposedly the blue eyed devil everyone feared.
I stared at him and tilted my head slightly as I pondered on my thoughts.
I wonder what made him turn out to be this way?
Yes he was always ruled by his emotions and was always one to get frustrated quickly but he was never this bad before.
He almost seemed frustrated to be the Ceo.
I could not help but notice this the few days I got to work wit him.
Speaking about work...
Aiden ends the call and let out a frustrated breath, seeming t be peeved about something.
âAbout work?â I asked softly, wishing I could relieve some of that tension I could somehow sense weighing down on his shoulders.
Aidenâs blue eyes lift to mine, Iâm surprised theyâre still warm yet, thereâs a hint of irritation. But I know that emotion was not for me, so I didnât feel upset about it.
âYes. I canât catch a break.â He grumbles, pushing the phone back in his pocket and outstretched his hands, silently telling me to give Ashton back to him.
I have noticed something about Aiden recently, especially when it concerns Ashton, he never seems to want to part ways. He always wants Ash close to him.
That was something I canât help but fond over. It was adorable and such a trait anyone would want a dad to have.
âWhat time do you leave for work? Iâll try to pack up Ash and Iâs clothes quickly and you can drop us off at the apartment on your way.â I said as I got up and gave Ash to him.
Ashton hugs his dad as if finally happy to be back in his arms. My eyes narrowed.
What a little traitor. Iâm already replaced.
âNo. Iâm not going to the office today and youâre not either. We will spend the day together again.â Aiden said and had my ears perking up and my mouth gaping.
âBut donât you need to be at Harrington.co today for that important meeting with the Xioâs?â I asked in worry.
Missing such a meeting didnât sound like a good idea.
Aidenâs brow lifted and his eyes twinkled with amusement. âLook whoâs been doing her homework. Iâm impressed mama bear.â He joked, winking at the end of his teasing words.
I rolled my eyes, huffed and walked back to my seat. âWell my arrogant annoying boss made sure to tell me to study every single thing on that paper and memorize it.â
Aiden laughs and winked. âWell then you didnât disappoint.â
I rolled my eyes and then sighed. âI donât think it would be a good idea to miss this meeting Aiden. We can spend another day some other time.â
âIâm spending the day with my little family Sophie. You two come first. Always. I wonât change my mind so drop it.â Aiden replied.
I let out a breath, knowing fully well that he meant every word and there was no possible way for me to persuade him otherwise.
*Sergioâs pov*
âCome in,â I said as I drawled out a puff of smoke from the cigar and took a step back from the glass wall and turned around when the door thrust open.
I stared at my professional personal private investigator.
Itâs early in the morning, not even six thirty yet. He better have something good for me for coming at my house so early.
My eyes fall to the file in his hand and approach him.
âDid you get what I asked for?â I asked and lift the cigar to my lips to draw another puff of smoke.
He nod, and outstretched his hand with the file. âThere is everything you need to know about Sophie Bell in this file.â
He said and gave me the said file.
I opened it while locking the the cigar between my teeth and pried one of the papers. It was a birth certificate. Sophie Bellâs birth certificate.
I walked to the desk in my study and place the paper on the surface and shift through the others.
When I grasp the fourth paper, it wasnât a paper. It was a photo.
A photo taken a few years ago.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Such an embarrassment for the family. Aiden was lucky I had saved him from such a fate.
I stared closely at the girl on the stand and I froze.
Now I know why she seemed so familiar...
Of course, why am I not surprised? Now a lot made sense, especially how old the child looked to be.
The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)
ï¤Chapter 120 The Billionaires Mistress ï¤Epilogue Sophie Bell was the one who caused Aiden to be sentence in jail at such a young age. She was the one who caused everything.
And now sheâs back in his life...
I clench the photo in my hand tightly until the blood drained from my fingers.
Why was she back?
Why was she here?
Did she come to ruin him more?
Did she come to destroy him and the company?
That girl was a walking karmic being who destroyed two teenage boys life.
Now sheâs back in one of their lives, and nothing good will obviously come out of it.
That whore mustâve seen those tabloids about Aiden online, recognized him and came to New York to get a piece of Harrington.co and tie Aiden down.
Or....
She came to finish the job and destroy his life for good.
âThatâs the only photo we could get from that day or the accident in general. Your grandson was smart enough to clear out the clutter quickly. But I was quicker.â Ned said.
I grit my teeth and barked. âGet me Rodrigo, I need him to call Aiden and get him to his office now!â
