The Girl He Craves

“You should think this through. I don’t think Mr. Xavier would like that you’re here.” Mitch warned, head tilting in a way to look at the huge building.

I don’t respond, only chewed on my lips in thought.

I was doing this not only for Aiden but for our son. He looked scared when they took his father away. No child should have to witness that.

“It’s fine Mitch. Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.” I let out a breath and stepped out of the vehicle.

I walked into the hotel and went straight to the front desk. I asked the receptionist for Christopher’s room number and she took a few to search for his room number on the computer.

“Room 205. Fourth floor.”

I nod, smiling in thanks.

It only took a couple of minutes to reach his room thanks to the use of an elevator and the quickness of my legs.

When I stood before the door, a tickling urge to turn back around made me rethink my decision.

Aiden would be furious.

But on the other hand, what if this works? What if I do get Christopher to retract his complaint?

Aiden would be a free man and would be out of jail.

That alone made me push that unsettling urge at the back of my mind and go forward with my original plan.

The first time I saw Christopher he hadn’t seemed like a bad guy. It was obvious there was some bad blood between him and Aiden but there would be no reason for him to treat me bad.

I knocked on the door and waited for a response.

And then I knocked again when I hadn’t gotten any.
