The Girl He Craves

Chapter 56

Aiden’s pov

“Mr. Xavier are you sure you’ll be okay to go out here alone?” Mitch asked as he looked around the neighborhood skeptically.

We were in a bad part of town.

I looked down at my expensive watch and read three forty.

The meeting took longer than I expected but at least it didn’t take the whole day.

I lifted my gaze and scan it around the area.

An ambulance siren blares as it zooms past us in a hurry.

There were children playing on the street, kicking the ball on the open road, not caring about the moving cars.

There were also some men a few blocks away that I remember were playing hoops.

They were littered with tattoos and seemed dangerous.

But that would just be reading the book by its cover.

I knew better than to judge someone by their outer appearance.

“I’ll be fine Mitch.

I’ll be in and out as quickly as I can.” I said, lowering my head and lifting my gaze to face the run-down old building.

So this is where she stays? Mitch looks at me through the rearview mirror, his eyes stoned in worry.

“Be careful Mr.

Xavier.

If there’s anything you need, I’m just one ring away.” I nod, slightly amused that he was uneasy around here.

I got out of the SUV, sliding my phone into my pocket while closing the door.

I tilt my head up to look at the building with a tiny smirk.

I was going to drag her back to work whether she likes it or not.

I pulled out the paper with her address and apartment number while approaching the entrance door.

It’s old and the red paint looks cheap.

I step in, heading towards the elevator.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you!” Someone yells to get my attention.

I turn around and see that it was a young woman.

She’s pretty but she’s no way as close to being as beautiful as my Sophie.
