The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

She nods. “And you two engaged in that sexual relationship minutes before the altercation between Aiden and Carson?”

Oh G*d, this woman was ruthless. Couldn’t she at least let me take a breather before blasting me with yet another personal question?

I looked up, my eyes sweeping 10 Aiden’s. One of his elbows was on the desk and his fingers were playing with his chin as he waited for my answer.

He looked at me emotionlessly but I could see the flicker of betrayal in his eyes. Did he think i betrayed him?

My stomach twisted and I looked away from him, not able to bear the weight of his gaze any longer.

I started and feeling the weight of others in the crowd, my eyes fall to Marge who looked at me in anger and betrayal. It feels like a powerful blow to the chest

I tangled my fingers together and played with the material of my jeans. That was the only thing that could distract me from the glares I was currently feeling

‘So, did you know the two boys hated each other Miss Bell?” She asked, giving me her unwavering attention.

Something I didn’t want since I felt like nothing more than an ant under a microscope who was getting burnt with rays of sunlight.

“I didn’t

I shook my head and move my eyes off of hers and focused on the floor. I knew that they were not seeing eye to eye.” I nodded and without being able to resist, my eyes connected with Aiden’s
