The Girl He Craves

Chapter 23

Carson ‘s***ed back clumsily.

I watch in absolute horror when his fingers slipped from the handrailing and his body tumbles down the stairs and stops in an awkward position.

I rush to the top of the staircase and fist my hair in my hands tightly as I stare at the blood pooling from his head. His eyes were still wide open and it wouldn’t take a genius to see that he was dead.

“F**k!” I yelled, rushing down the stairs with my heart pounding painfully in my chest.

When I got to his body, there was someone standing at the bottom of the stairs. I turn to see who and my heart drops painfully in my stomach. I wanted to vomit.

Sophie’s eyes are wide in horror and her mouth is parted as if she is on the verge of letting out a scream.

“Aiden…. what did you do?” She whispered in disbelief and takes a shaky step forward.

Sophie’s pov

I rushed to the bathroom needing to cool down my face and figure out what I’ll do next. How would I explain this to Carson?

Does he even have to know that I cheated on him with Aiden?

I can just tell him that things were not working out between us and that we needed to go our separate ways

It was not like it wasn’t true, we were not working out. Things just were not progressing. My heart still beat for Aiden and even though I hated that fact, I finally came to terms with it.

But that didn’t mean I’d let Aiden have his way with me whenever he pleased. I was hell bent on staying single and sparing no guy, including Aiden my attention any more. No matter how hard it would be to ignore him, I would

I washed my face and groan.

If I don’t tell Carson what was really going on, I’d feel even more guilty for not telling him I cheated on him with Aiden.

He deserved to know the truth. He deserved to know. I can’t lie to him any longer.

I sighed and washed my face again, needing that cool water to wash away the heat on my face. If only it could wash away the guilt too.

When I was done I walked out of the bathroom, hoping to not catch up with Aiden. Had he left already? Did he try to look for me? Was he still looking for me?

Why do I even care?

I shook my head and made my way to the front doors. It was best to not think about Aiden and focus on how I’d tell Carson what I had done.
