The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

Aiden’s cold eyes glared at the paper, his knuckles turning paper white.

The tick in his jaw only meant one thing, he was furious.

’What.* He takes in an inhale.

’The. Fuck. Is. This?* Aiden sneered lowly, the veins in his neck becoming more and

more visible the more he glared at the paper.

And then his eyes snapped up, a furious glare full of hatred stabbed Sergio right

across the table.

But Sergio reaming unfazed. If anything the old man grew even cockier.

’You’ve read it. I know you’re an intelligent young man Aiden.” He responded cooly.

I have so many emotions running through me right now that I was unsure on which to

latch on to.

There was anger, pain, frustration, heartache.

Did Aiden really sign these papers?

Did he really agree to marry her?

But why was he acting like he had seen this for the first time?

’Aiden?” I whispered softly. Soft enough for him to not have heard or perhaps he just

didn’t have it in him to answer me.

Either way, I feel sick to my stomach.

A sudden dry and humorless chuckle sings through the room. Even his shoulders

shook as if Sergio’s words were humorous.

I didn’t think it was funny at all, I think it was the opposite.

’You’re fucking with me?’ Aiden drawled in a cold tone.

Sergio brow sleeked up, unimpressed. “Reread the contract if you have doubts Aiden.

I’m sure you’ll notice your signature is not forged.”

Aiden chuckled dryly, colder that before. It scares me.
