The Girl He Craves

Aiden’s pov

All I feel is anger as I storm to where I saw Mila taking my son.

I can’t believe she was trying to justify herself for keeping my son’s existence away from me. I gritted my teeth.

For three years I’ve thought about her and cared about her even though I was trying so hard not to. Only for her to be the villain in all of this.

I push the door open, causing Mila to jump in fright. She clutches my son closer, looking at me in alarm.

Her eyes are wide and she looks ready to jump into action if she has to.

Did she really think I came here to hurt my son?

My eyes fall to the little boy on her lap, enveloped by her arms protectively. His resemblance to me is quite scary. You’d be a fool to not notice.

His blue eyes, if not the same as mine at least similar are gazing up at me with a gleam of intrigue. My heart warms.

I had never considered having children, especially when I

obviously hadn’t got the woman I wanted to have those children with. But turns out that, that woman had already had my kid, only to not have told me.

There’s a sinking feeling of betrayal weighing down my belly. I want to punch a hole in the wall, and scream at her for betraying me once more.

But I don’t want to scare that innocent face that was staring at me with twi**ling blue eyes. He was beautiful. And he was mine.

And I missed out on years of his life. Because of her.

I’m instantly angry as hell. I’m breathing erratic and I’m glaring down at Mila who’s holding him like I was going to take him away from her and walk out of the apartment.

The thought crossed my mind but I wouldn’t do something like that to Sophie no matter how much she hurt me.

“Aiden

Her soft voice fluttered behind me, making me grit my teeth at how much she had a shiver crawling down my spine despite how angry I am at her right now.

“I didn’t think

I shake my head, stepping into the room and having Mila rise to her feet with my little boy in her arms. He giggles. And that sound has my heart slamming in my chest.
