The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

Whatever the other person was saying on the other line was not sitting right with Aiden. He looked extremely p*ssed off every second that passed.

However, the conversation seemed important as I picked up

words like ‘sue’ and ‘court’.

And when he got off the phone and slammed it down on the counter harshly, I got startled and jumped a little.

He’s breathing roughly, a storm wrecking through those ocean blues. I miss the calm.

“Aiden?” I called his name out softly, alarmed by his sudden mood change.

“Is everything okay?” I asked after a pregnant pause of silence after I said his name.

His sharp blue eyes flick to mine, and he stares at me silently, seething silently. His anger was not directed at me, but it still shook me to the core.

With the way he had been so warm and attentive to me, forgotten about that side of him that once scared me.

“It will be when I get my hands around Sergio’s neck,” He grumbled.

“We tried all ways, Mr. Xavier, but he is refusing to move the posts,” Theo said on the other line.

“And there’s alsó one more thing…” He trailed off, and I can almost hear him gulp through the phone.

I gripped the phone tighter until I swore I could hear it cracking slowly.

“What is it?” I grit lowly, fighting off the impulse of throwing the phone at the wall. I didn’t want to startle Sophie and
