The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

I’m trembling in his presence, scared of his anger and what he’d say or do. I knew he would not physically hurt me but mentally, he just might I try to push up my armor around my heart before it’s too late.

Because whatever I say now, would only push me into more hot water.

“Aiden I started with a low tone but he cut me off with anger.

“Explain why I have a son that I never knew about Sophie!” He roared, storming towards me.

He’s seething and raging and his anger is validated.

I can see the storm in his blue eyes already, eyes similar to the little boy we shared.

But there’s also hurt and confusion in those depths that made my stomach twist.

I have hurt him.

I’m looking at him lost, not sure how I can explain myself without being the villain.

But I was always the villain in our story and I couldn’t convince anyone otherwise.

Aiden stops a couple of feet away from me.

His lips are curled into a snarl and he looks like he could burn the entire house down with his anger.

I have royally screwed myself.

“Aren’t you going to explain yourself, Sophie!?” He blasted rolling his eyes over my figure.

I’m in sweats and my high bun is flopping down the side of my head.

I look a mess.

He looks at me in disgust and I feel it shatter that armor I thought I placed properly.

I should’ve known that it was feeble and that I didn’t place it on correctly.

I still haven’t gotten over the spat we had in the office yet and now that he pulled the rug under my feet, I wasn’t sure I would be able to come up after that.

Aiden snorts when I don’t respond.

” And just imagine how many more years you’d keep him a secret from me if I didn’t show up here.” ” How many more years do you think it would take for him to ask about his daddy?” He snarled, his hands fisting at his sides.

I flinched.
