Sophieâs pov Either way, Iâm getting what I want Those words rang in my head as I looked at Aiden in disbeliel. I tilt my hcad, my eyes glazing over as I try to decipher if he was serious or not.
This gaze is unwavering âIs that a threat?â I breathed out in disbelief when he didnât apologize and say that he hadnât meant those words.
Ilis story eyes narrowed down on me. âCall it what you want That death trap still goes.â
I shake my head, the tip of my tongue pushing between my teeth âTypical Aiden Xavier Geis what he wants hy bullying and threatening. Youâll never change.â
I said and took a step back âYouâre still that same bastard from high school.â
His lips curl up into a snarl. âYou werenât saying that in my orlice yesterday while I was deep inside you.â Ile sneered lowly so only I can hear I flinched and then regained my composure quickly. I canât show him that Iâm weak anymore. That would only make him feel like he was still superior âDonât bring up a mistake Aiden.â
Ile takes a menacing step forward. âDonât act like youâd not do that âmistakeâ again if I want you to puppx;â
My jaw ticked at that name. Here he goes again with that damn name.
I rolled my eyes and tear them away from him. âDonât kid yourself. The only relationship weâll ever have from now onward is taking care of Ashton.
That is if you still want to be in his life. I know how youâve never wanted to be a father. No room for kids right?â
âAre you trying to bait me into saying that I donât want Ashton Sophie? Is this what it really has come to? Youre kept his existence from me and now youâre trying your hardest to keep him away from me?â Aiden snorted in disbelief I let out a heavy breath and run my fingers through my hair. Leave it to Aiden to try and manipulate my words to make me seem like the only bad guy We were both the bad guys in this story:
âYouâre unbelievable.â I groaned, turning around and walking away. I donât know where I planned 10 go. Maybe back to the apartment or maybe take a long walk down the street to clear my head.
But itâs not like I had time to figure out where I was going to go because Aidenâs fingers wrapped around my arm and stopped me from walking any further His touch burned through my skin despite how angry I am at him right now.
âSophie,â He sighed, his voice softening but he doesnât say anything further. Only grips around my arm firmer.
He starts after a few seconds of silence but a black car rolling up to park just behind the SUV he just caine out of drew his attention and he retracts his hand from my arm.
A young man comes out of the black car with some papers in his hands, Aiden leaves my side and approaches the man I turn around to look at them in confusion. Ria walks over to me and nudges me using her arm.â Whatâs thatâs about?â She nudges her chin to Aiden and the young man whoâs handing him the papers.
I tilt my head. âI have no idea. But apparently, he bought me a new car.â I sighed, looking back at Mary who was already hooked to the tow truck I chewed my bottom lip in anger. It was clear that whatever I say now would be of no use, Aiden got his way like he always did.
11 LEHT TLF The only difference was that Iâd not let him get his way as casily as he once did.
âNo kidding? Damn, I hope itâs a nice car I shake my head. âI donât care if itâs a nice car or not, Iâm not accepting it.â
Aiden turns around, his hand clutching the papers as he stalks toward The younger man stood beside the black car, looking our way.
âIlere,â Aiden says and passes me the papers.
I look at him confused.
âYou need to sign those papers so the car will be on your name.â He said and took out a pen from his pocket At this early Aiden was already dressed in his expensive suit. He stood out like a sour thumb in this part of the neighborhood, Iâm surprised he showed up here in such expensive clothing and without bodyguards.
I nod, grabbing the paper. His lips lifted into a cocky smirk that irritated me Ile thought he had won. Iâll teach that cocky cassanova that he no longer can bend me to his will anymore. I was going to stay strong for my son, just in case he disappoints and hurts him like he has done to me countless times I flashed him a fake sinile and then......
The sound of the paper learing filled the air. The second sound was Riaâs shocked gasp and the third was the stunned curse word out of her lips as I lling the tom paper toward Aidenâs face.
Ilis eyes shut and his jaw licked in anger âListen here and listen good Aiden. You can no longer manipulate me into doing anything you want anymore. Yes, I was wrong for keeping Ash from you but youâd miss out on his firsts anyway! And sure you want in his life right now, but that doesnât mean you can just come into mine and shill around my private stuffâ without my permission Keep your damn car, Iâll buy my ownâ I hissed and walked away from him before he had the chance to respond LE Iâm storming back inside the apartment building when I hear his rushing licet nearing me Aidenâs hand grips my arm stopping me and then he turned me around The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)
I slam into his chest. gasping Ileâs glaring at me in fury and frustration, âWhere is that woman Yesterday who was crying and trying to act innoxent? Whereâs the whimpering puppy who wanted me to forgive her for keeping my sonâs existence from me!â Ile glared âShowing your true colors Sophie?â
I glared at him and tugged out of his arm.
âShe died when she realized that she was right to think that she still needed to protect her baby boyâs heart from you.â I spat.
Aiden takes a step forward, seething.â What the fuck do you mean? Protect his heart from me?â
âAll you ever do is shatter hearts wherever you go Aiden. Youâve always been this way. Youâve said that you have no room in your life for kids. You donât want any. What if one day youâll say that again and just decide to leave Ashton? What then? Iâd have to pick up the pieces youâve left behind and inend our sonâs heart all alone.â Tears well up in my eyes as I continued.
âYou must understand that I canât let my guard down for you casily Aiden. Not when I donât know your true intentions. Not when youâve already proved you can hurt me. I donât want my son to go through the same thing I wonât stand by it.â I lifted my chin in detiance even though tears were currently trailing down my cheeks.
Aiden flinched and Iâm not sure if the reaction was caused by my words or the sight of my tears.
He lakes a step back and brushes a hand down his face. âI wonât ever hurt my son Sophie.â
I shake my head and giggled lowly without emotion. âItâs casier for you to say that than to actually mean it Aiden.â
IL FIL âSoph?â Milaâs voice is soft and I turn around to see her at the bottom of the stairs with Ash in her arms. She looks concerned as she darted her eyes between Aiden and me His eyes are a twinkling blue and when he smiles, my breath catches in my throat by how much he looks like Aiden.
âMamaâ Ash squealed happily âHe looks so much like me,â Aiden said so lowly that my ears barely picked up on it.
