The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 88

88

Sophie’s pov

I’ve heard those words more than once now and it still

leaves a bitter feeling in my chest.

Was this how the rich actually is? I thought those only. happened in books and movies.

But I suppose I was wrong.

Aiden continues when he sees that I was not willing to cut him off.” He wants me to marry the daughter of our business partner to tie the two companies together. Doing so would benefit both companies.”

My heart feels heavy. Did he want to marry this girl? If so why did he force me to act like I was his fiance?

Aiden looks at me for a few before saying. “But I refused. As you’ve noticed by his aura Sergio is a very powerful man who always gets what he wants. He wouldn’t stop until I settle down. Especially with his need to fix the public view of me, given my reputation. There was only one way that could get him off my back.”

He looks at me silently, gauging for my reaction.

“And that way was for you to say that I am your fiance.” | nod, now understanding.

Aiden nods, looking pleased that I hadn’t yelled at him.

And boy was he wrong to rejoice so soon.

My gaze switched from understanding to fury. “Aiden are you fucking insane!?”

“I assure you that I am not.” His lips tug upwards into a grin.

This man was finding amusement in this fucked up situa- tion. I don’t know if to be surprised or not.

My eyes burn with fury as I shoot him daggers across the room. “You can’t just say that I am your fiance and catch me off guard like that! I had no choice but to play along to your stupid game. If this is about your reputation all you had to do was go on a pussy cleanse. I’m sure your grandfather would stay off your back and the public eye too.” I ranted in a screech of anger.

Did he seriously get me into this mess because of his pub- lic reputation?

He could’ve kept his dick out of every hole he wanted to dip into.

Now I’m pulled into a mess I didn’t want to partake in.

Aiden’s eyes narrowed on my face. “You must not know how tabloids work Sophie. I can be seen in a business meeting with a woman and automatically it’s my new playtoy for the day. Even if I take that ‘pussy cleanse’ those tabloids will find it in their way to create a false story to show that I’m still keeping up with my old ways.”

I stay silent, seething inwardly when I realized that I might be doomed. How will I get out of this when I played along with Aiden’s damn story?

Was there even a way out?

Aiden sighs brushing a hand down his face in frustration. “So you see this was the only way I could truly win this. You being my fiance will make those tabloids think I’m finally set- tling down. Sergio will also be pleased and hop off my back.”

I shook my head.

He can’t possibly not see how much shit we will be in when everyone would find out that we were acting.

Going with this absurdity would push me into the public eye too. Something I never wanted and never will now.

Ashton…

Did Aiden not think of Ashton at all?

What would happen when those cameras switch on our relationship? What would happen when they find out that I had a son?
