The Girl He Craves

Aiden’s pov

“Now now, Aiden. Is it not too early to give me such an attitude-

“Sergio, you’re getting on my last d*mn nerves. I know you’re behind this sh*t. Get them to take down that post.” I snarled, gripping the phone tightly while imagining it as Sergio’s neck.

There’s a heavy pause until he answered. “What post are you referring to, Aiden?”

He was playing the oblivious card but I knew better than to think that he was innocent in all this.

He had a hand to play with Lillian being shifted here and he also had a part to play with the papara*zi getting to Harrington.co just as Lillian and I were heading out.

It was not a coincidence, and I was not dumb enough to think that she also had no part to play in this as well.

My voice is so loud it booms against the walls and surely had reached Sophie’s ears.

A few ticking seconds later I get confirmation when her sweet voice bubbles through the door, easing my anger slightly.

“Aiden?” She knocked on the door lightly.
