The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 55

Aiden’s pov

“Just give me her address as soon as possible. “I told Johnny, my private investigator.

Johnny promised to get me Sophie’s address within the hour and when that hour did come, Sophie’s

address was written down on a piece of paper in my handwriting.

I placed the pen down on the paper smirking in triumph.

Sophie’s address.

Maybe when I get there I’d spank her ass for even thinking she could just leave like that.

| shake my head.

What the hell was wrong with me? I’m supposed to be angry at her, not turned on by her defiance.

I picked up the paper and took my jacket.

I’m going there right away.

I don’t even care if she’s home or not.

I’ll wait for her if I have to I was in the midst of fixing my jacket when a knock sounds at my door.

“Sir?” Noel’s tiny voice flutters through the door.

I groan lowly and rolled my eyes.

“Come in,” I said loud enough for her to hear She opens the door slowly, probably still threatened when

I flung the files at her earlier.

It was her dang fault for not cleaning up the mess fast enough.

I know I was being extreme today and that was all because of that pretty fucking woman that was still

messing with my head even though I am supposed to hate her with my entire being.

“Oh you’re all ready Mr.

Xavier.

Good.” She nods.” They’re already waiting for you in the meeting room.”

I froze.

Who the hell was she talking about? “Who’s waiting for me?” I asked, already getting irritated that

Sophie consumed my mind so much that I perhaps had forgotten about a meeting I was supposed to

be having today.

“The Groupon Tech Ceo and his men.” Noel said while jotting down something on a notepad.

“Reschedule,” I said tightly.

I was going to Sophie’s apartment, I don’t have time to sit around and listen to men talk for more than

half the day.

“I can’t sir.

We rescheduled last week and they’ve come all the way from Taiwan.

If you miss this one, the chairman will not be as forgiving and happy.”

gritted my teeth.

Great, fucking great.

It looks like I would have to wait to go over to Sophie’s.

I nodded stiffly and for more than five hours listened to business ideas and how Harrington.co would

benefit from collaborating with Groupon Tech.

| admit, most of the time I was up in my head, thinking about Sophie and how I was going to drag her

back to Harrington.co even though by the time I get there, office hours might be closed.

Sophie’s pov “We’re home!” Mila sang and I peeled my eyes open, groaning as I wiped off the drool

trailing down the corner of my mouth.

I stretched, muting the movie that probably had replayed more than five times.

If Mila was here then that meant it was already three in the afternoon.

I slept long.

I turn around in the chair, beaming as my eyes fell on Ashton’s cute little face.

He notices me right away and his tiny lips split into a cute smile.

My heart squeezes as he looks so much like Aiden while smiling.

“Mama!” He squealed.

“Ash bug,” I said fondly, getting off the sofa.

“Ash down.” He told Mila so that she’d place him down on his feet.

He quickly runs over to me, giggling with his arms open.

“Careful Ash,” Mila shout as he nearly trips over the rug.

My heart jumps and I quickly meet him halfway before he manages to trip again.

When he’s in my arms, I hold him close and buried my nose in his hair.

He smells so good.

He smells like coconut.

SILI “I love you bug,” I whispered kissing his hair.

He giggles, throwing his arms around my neck.

He may be the exact replica of his father, but Ash was going to be better than Aiden.

And I was going to make sure of it.

“Woah.

What happened to you? You look like poop?” Mila asked, removing the scrunchie in her hair.

“Bad day.” I sighed heavily while picking up Ash even though he protested.

He was still my baby whether he liked it or not. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Mila winced.

“Didn’t go well?”

I shook my head no.

“Bernard didn’t accept the resignation letter.”

Mila looks confused.

“What? Why? Did you not tell him why you wanted to quit?”

I shook my head, hugging Ash to me.

God, I love my little bug.

“No.

I couldn’t exactly tell him my kid’s father was his boss and I was uncomfortable with working in the

same building with him.

Besides, it wouldn’t matter, I don’t think he’d accept it anyway.” | sighed, rubbing my palm on Ashton’s

back.

“And why the hell not? If you want to quit, then he should let you.

It’s absurd that he’s not accepting the resignation letter.” Mila flung her hands out comically.

I tear my gaze away from her and wince.” It’s not exactly him who’s not accepting the resignation letter.

It’s Aiden.”

Mila’s eyes widen.

“Aiden!? I thought he didn’t remember you?” I gave out a little snort.

“That’s what I thought until I went to his office with the intent of shoving the letter down his throat.”

Mila looked at me in amusement and snorted.

“What?” I asked her.

“Oh nothing.

But shoving a letter down his throat? Where is my best friend that condemns these kinds of things?”

She asked in blatant amusement.

I rolled my eyes and smiled.

“Well did you shove it down his throat? Or at least tell him a piece of your mind?” She asked.

I cringe.

“No I didn’t shove it down his throat, but I did try to give him a piece of my mind,” I admitted.

I did try, until Aiden kissed me and everything just flew out of the window.

Mila looks at me fixedly, searching my eyes for answers.

“So, then, what happened when you did?” I rip my gaze from hers and settle them on the white wall.

It looks like it needs a fresh coat of paint.

I can feel the heat of a blush crawling up my neck to settle in my cheeks and knew I must look as bright

as a fire truck right now.

“Oh, you didn’t…

did you….” Mila trailed off in confusion before her tone turned into accusation.

“Oh my God! You did!” She blasted loudly.

I wince, covering Ash’s ears at her loud tone.

“Mila, too loud!” |

hissed.

She cringed but approaches me and Ash with wide confused and questioning gaze.

“You naughty girl.

You slept with him?” I winced, still covering Ash’s ears.

He didn’t need to hear about his mommy sleeping with his daddy.

“Well?” Mila asked impatiently.

I nodded while wincing.

“Yes.”

Mila looks stunned.

“Well, I knew this would happen eventually but not so soon!” She giggles but when she sees that I

hadn’t joined her, her brows furrowed.

“But why aren’t you happy about it? I mean I’m not a fan of Aiden, especially with all the crap he put

you through in high school, but now you three can be a family I snorted, my voice sad as I cut her off.

“When we were done, he told me I was a mistake.

Also said I was still easy.” Mila’s face switched to anger and hatred.

“That asshole.” I gave her a pointed look and she cringed while murmuring an apology.

“But seriously what a D.I.C.

K.

“She spelled out the word in hopes that it would pass my scrutiny.

I rolled my eyes yet nodded in agreement.

Aiden was after all, the biggest dick.

I mean his dick was big but did his personality have to be such a huge one? Perhaps, I should probably

stop thinking about his dick The door handle suddenly shifts and both Mila and I turn our heads to face

it.

Must be Ria back from her photoshoot.

The door swings open and my heart drops in my stomach painfully.

Because behind Ria, stood a very tall and powerful Aiden.

“There’s a hot guy here for you Sophie!” She chirped, swinging the door even wider so he’d enter, while

she moves the keys out of the keyhole in the door.

My tongue gets tied and I’m rooted right where I stood with fear in my soul.

Because as soon as Ria said those words, Aiden’s gaze automatically fell on me and then on Ashton.
