The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 158

Sophie’s pov

“Mila and Ria wants Ash to spend the night. They’ve missed him.” I voiced as I flung the purse on the countertop and kicked off my shoes.

“Okay,” Aiden said behind me.

I texted Mila to tell her that Aiden agreed when Aiden suddenly comes behind me and hugs me.

“You’ve been quiet the entire ride home. Are you still upset?” He whispered on my neck and planted a kiss.

I shrugged out of his hold and placed my phone down. “You need ice for your hand.”

I opened the fridge and searched for some ice. I could only get frozen peas.

“My hand is fine Sophie. What I know is not okay, is you. Argue with me, hit me, hell give me a damn concussion, but don’t treat me so coldly. I can’t handle it.”

I sighed, placing the pack of peas on the countertop.

“What are we doing Aiden? What kind of dangerous game are we in?” I looked up at him for the first time since we left Sergio’s place.

He looks at me for a few before responding.

“I’m sorry,”

He shook his head. “For bringing you into this mess Sophie.”

Dividing into pages now

My vision blurred.

Aiden looks wrenched and quickly walks around the countertop to be by my side. He pulls me in his arms, hugging me tightly as I sobbed into his shirt.

“He hates me.” I cried in a broken voice.

“Everyone hates me. Just imagine what they’re saying about me.” I sobbed, clutching his shirt more firmly.

It’s a good thing Ash was not here, Aiden didn’t want him to see his mummy upset.

“Shhh Sophie, please don’t cry baby. You know I hate to see you upset.” Aiden comforted. “I don’t care who hates you, I love you. No one else’s opinion matters.”

I fisted his shirt. “I don’t belong in this world Aiden. I don’t belong here.”

Aiden takes a step back, his fingers going under my chin and tilting my head up.

His eyes flashed with intensity, one that showcased his love. The air in my lungs gets snagged by just this stare.

“That’s fine baby, because I don’t belong here either. I only belong with you. I only belong in your world while you belong in mine. Money, luxury things….these aren’t my world. My world is you and our son.” He whispered with sincerity.

My heart jolts and pounds quickly.

“Aiden-

I breathed but he stops me with a chaste kiss on my lips.

“I can give all this up easily for you, Sophie. I would give everything up just for you.” Aiden whispered on my lips.

My heart beats furiously.

I didn’t want him to give up anything for me and certainly not his job.

The few days I worked at Harrington.co, I have come to realize that Aiden was a tough boss because he took his job seriously.

He was successful because he worked his ass off.

He loved the company.
