This was far too dangerous. We can’t go through with this.

“It wouldn’t matter if you scrap everything about me Aiden. It wouldn’t leave out the fact that we have a son to- gether. They will piece together everything and will know that I was a teen mother.

Aiden’s gaze turned stormy, he was angry. “He’s my son too Sophie! I’m a CEO, the richest in New York. Every tabloid hangs off on every word I say, every move I make. It wouldn’t be long until they find out about him. He will be in the public eye no matter how much we fight this.”
