The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

I’m panicking inwardly while Aiden makes calls beside me.

He’s talking so aggressively while rubbing his forehead. It was clear that what happened to us threw some stress onto his shoulders.

I let out some air through my nose and took out my phone from the bag. I quickly searched up Aiden’s name, only to not be surprised that our images were everywhere.

My heart slammed in my chest.

There are even articles written about us already….

Gnawing on my lips I clicked on one, cringing slightly when it was a horrible picture of Aiden and me walking out of the

restaurant.

I scrolled down, my eyes darting around every word.

‘With a well poised handsome man like Mr. Xavier, you’d expect a properly dressed woman beside him. But do not mind her appearance for Aiden Xavier did not seem to care.

I know I was nowhere close to Aiden’s standards but you’d think they would at least wait to throw their judgments.

I quickly put off my phone, sliding it into my bag. My throat burned with stifling emotion.

I know I shouldn’t let the media get to me but I couldn’t help it. My face was splattered everywhere and I was sure there was nothing good said about me.
