The Girl He Craves Chapter 181

Aiden’s pov

My heart felt heavy for hours now and no matter how many times I rubbed over the ache, it wouldn’t go away.

I knew why it was here. It’s because I still felt like crap. I hadn’t been there for her. What if that motherfucker did more than forcefully kiss her?

I wouldn’t have been there to stop him.

He could’ve seriously hurt her.

Just the thought of him doing more than kissing her made that ache grow I felt fucking powerless for the first time. I wasn’t there to protect her from him. I wasn’t fucking there.

Not only was Sergio giving me hell, those fucking Muralo siblings were more trouble than I thought.

The door to the bathroom swung open slowly, pulling me away from my thoughts.

Her flushed face made the ache in my heart ease a good bit. And when she shyly rushed over to the bed, I couldn’t help but smile at her adorableness.

Shit. Is it possible to fall more and more in love with her?

She crawled under the covers, hiding her body entirely from my vision. I raised a brow looking down at her while she tuck the covers under her chin.

“For what?” She whispered while still playing with my hair.

I clenched my eyes tightly for a little, my heart aching. Sophie was too innocent for my kind of world. I knew that the moment I realized I was in love with her years ago. But of course, I was selfish and always had a problem letting things go.

I lift my head and peered into her sweet innocent eyes. My heart hurt. Why am I causing this sweet little angel to go through such terrible things in life?

Why can’t I protect her enough? Why can’t we be in peace for once?

My vision fogs as my throat burned.

I didn’t deserve her. I know I didn’t.

“For bringing you into this mess. I should have never gotten with her. Never should’ve wasted my time with others. Especially since I knew that I would never love another the way I do you.” I said truthfully.

I screwed up the moment I gave those other women what belonged to her. I should have never touched them, especially Lillian. Perhaps if I hadn’t she wouldn’t be this obsessed with marrying me.

Maybe then, we wouldn’t be going through all of this. A fucking mess. That’s what our world has become. A huge fucking mess.

Sophie shook her head and continued to play with my hair.

Whatever happened, it’s in the past.”

She didn’t understand that my actions in the past stirred the pot into what
